Currently listening to:

Radio 1 Extra

Drum 'n' Bass with Crissy Criss

These Radio 1 Extra sessions usually last about 2 hours - 2 hours of continuous music with an  occasional and banal utterance from whatever DJ is manning the studio.

What I like about the sessions is that there is a musical narrative to them. They start off fairly low key and then over the 2 hours build up layer by layer into a manic  symphony of beat music.

Last night's dinner:

Squid cut up and ready to fry

With cous cous

The fishmonger,(Fantoosh, Great Western Road, Glasgow) prepared the squid for me.

It took about 3 minutes to fry and curls up naturally in the course of the frying.

A really excellent meal.
