Another great weekend of music and food in Austin. I went to the Fun Fun Fun fest with one of my best friends visiting from New York and we saw some excellent performances. It was an ideal set-up for my musical taste, a punk/hardcore stage, an indie rock stage, and an electronic stage.

The first day had my two favorite performances. Girl Talk, delivered an exciting, fun-filled set, that topped any set I saw that weekend that inspired moshing. Seriously it was so encouraging to see an audience go that crazy over a guy with a laptop, and Girl Talk's cut-and-paste mash-up technique has only gotten better. A set that did inspire moshing, and much more, was an absolutely fierce after show at Mohawks by a reunited Murder City Devils. Which almost turned into a riot thanks to one particularly determined stage diver. Getting to love Austin.

New podcasts this week, the latest from Alex Spalding is a finger snapping melodic number Verdigris. I'll Swipe Your Face (I'm a Cougar) is this week's contribution from El Plan De Aguavodka and it's full of tension. Believe In The Kill is Little Ricky's House of Chankletas' take on a piece that sounds like it's from the soundtrack of Red Dawn. And the Painful Leg Injuries take a walk down circuit-bending nostalgia lane with an improvisation on my firs circuit bent instrument, a three-dollar keyboard I found at a flea market with It's From Taiwan or Jupiter.

Tune in next week for the Painful Leg Injuries Podcast's one-hundredth episode.
