Went to an Archway charity meeting yesterday in Oxford, was great. Apart from the term "to increase social capital" on the questionnaire. Sounds rather ulterior motive-d.

I've always been a fan of Deal Or No Deal since its inception, even if I haven't always watched the games. Today's one was quite a nail-biter; Jonnie, offered 16,000, took a chance of a higher offer, went down to 8,000 next round, dealt at it on advice of his wife, had 75,000 in his box, and would have been guaranteed 21,000 as an offer at the last hurdle between that and the 1p box. He regretted that big time, but then he was going to go with his gut instinct and purchase box 23, introduced this year to double money, halve it, stay the same, add 10,000, or go away with nothing. He had +10,000 in box 23 if he'd purchased it, again his wife said she would no deal at 8,000. Total chance everything happens, which makes for quite an unpredictable, interesting viewing at the best of times.
He is now thinking of divorcing his wife.

since I've been up all night again
spent hours watching Deadliest Catch, Star Trek and car shows, programming and messing around with Synth 1, programming new patches for Imposcar 2 and jamming over long Elvin Jones Drum Solos, messing with tunes. Made super phat & sublime dub, house, techno chords with Imposcar 2!
This Phoscyon acid plugin by D16 is amazing.
drinking entirely too much tea
Planning to sleep around noon.Off to watch more car shows and read plugin manuals.

I ushered for a Gipsy Jazz performance at a local theatre on Thursday, with a Soapbox City event earlier in the day, plus cooking stir fry and king prawns with my link worker. Soapbox City is a 12 hour event with 112 speakers having 5 minutes each; I was a heckler in the crowd (part of the script!) Lots of fun. Need to listen to my body more though at events so I know when to switch off temporarily.
Also found with my male friend I met again from that venue last week that the local tavern has an upright piano available to play at any time from midday. So on Friday I missed Music Group and went to improvise for 2 hours straight, then came back there before I left for Oxfordshire to play with my friend (we got cheered!

Currently watched: Billy Connolly - The Big Send Off. A lighter-hearted look at the final stages of life for him - he has Parkinson's - with a talk with Eric Idle about how "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" is one of the top three most played funeral tunes. Respect to him. 9pm next Wednesday for the final part.

Now watching Derek.

The new series, on the basis of this episode, is a bit too "cringe TV" - smutty Jonathan Ross style jokes, not my thing. But then that's the Kevin character.

Finally wrote this for http://www.fluid-radio.co.uk - my 113th review for them:
Matteo Uggeri – Untitled Winter (Scissor Tail Records)
Like fish, Matteo Uggeri's "Untitled Winter" LP is brain food. And like a fish, it travels through an ocean of ultramundane frequencies. The instruments and their players – Uggeri plays trumpet, while an illustrious list is to be found on the Scissor Tail Editions Bandcamp – swim amongst the type of meditative, floaty state that none of us ever really feel, and it makes for a fascinating listen.
A key component of Uggeri's ensemble's success is that they utilise space as an onion, unwrapping layers of flummoxed pacing and graceful re-shaping of the source material. A track may stop on a chord and repeat a while, or it may drastically careen away from its original intent in a blink of a second. This never-knowing, never pre-ordained sequencing is very refreshing and intriguing, as if you've not heard anything quite like it. The roots are in rotting improv music – sparse lines cohering into a bigger whole; a steak left to fester its bacteria in the midday sun, like no-one else wanted it in its past life. Much of the importance held by the listener on Uggeri's non-compositonal, instrument playing contribution becomes righted in eigth track, "Untitled III", where he hums out spellbinding trumpet moxie that unravels over sounds of footsteps and the nearby wind.
The percussion piece that follows, "Solfeggio No 33" sees synthesiser being added to the brew of previous viola, cello, guitar and piano (work 2 is a seeming tribute to "Spiegel Im Spiegel" by contemporary classical composer Arvo Part, being aptly titled "Spiegel Ics Spiegel"). It's one of the most immediately digestible tracks on the release, harmonising with ambient's will 'o the wisp, genteel droning and extra-generific potion summoning. It would also appear, like aquamarine mammals, that Matteo favours metamorphosis over set ways, a sorcerer with a bent to extemporise the present. "Tender Is The Night", the closing cut is barely there, a field recording of setting down something or another; pen on a table; footsteps on study floor. It marks the mood of the record in an inscripted ink, but unlike a fish of jelly, the movements of this album are never a stinging sensation. Winter is welcoming for once.

Reached beyond 3650 rank on C&C:TA world. Food: mustard herrings, meatballs, salad and pasta, Fosters beer., coffee. Weight: at my lowest in over a year: 16st 9. Read: The Wire #364 The Inner Sleeve by Liz Harris (Grouper), On Location, Out There, & On Site & On Screen features. Mailed: Daniel Crossley of Fluid Radio with Fluid articles (next one is Bruno Bavota - The Secret And The Sea). Games otherwise: Candy Crush, on level 37. Comfort: Marley Soul Rebel Midnight over-head headphones, wearing in. Travel: back to Oxford for the night, seeing my social worker tomorrow. Listening: Spheruleus - Selected Works; Gipsy Jazz voice recordings; "Piggies Paradise" for our frail old dog Mutley, probably soon to be on the "Mutley EP" in dedication to him. Spiritually: feeling more content with simple pleasures, like sending reviews in to The Wire that I know won't get printed. It's nice to influence them.
