Welcome back, we hope everyone had a pleasant holiday.

So, after our brief holiday break we return with the first of four remaining 2007 podcasts. This week, chaos reigns supreme with powerful noise blasts from El Plan De Aguavodka and Alex Spalding. The Painful Leg Injuries deliver the final episode of the Open Up and Say ZZZT! series with a battle, The Hamster Skeleton vs. The Bass Skeleton. Finally Little Ricky's House of Chankletas in stunning opposition to the rest of the podcasts from this week deliver Discordant Synapse, which in spite of it's name, reminds me of the Eagles, if they liked Burroughs.

BTW, if you have not yet experienced Little Ricky's House of Chankletas live, they have a couple NYC dates coming up. December 7th, at 11pm, they will be at Brooklyn's Goodbye Blue Monday and they will be performing at the Annex on the Lower East Side on January 13th. You do not want to miss these lunatics live, it's amazing.

The Introspect Zine has recently published a review of the Painful Leg Injuries' If The Devil's In The Details Than How Many Details Can You Fit Upon A Match? click here to read more.

Until next week, take care.

The Painful Leg Injuries' performance visuals and live set from the Maker Faire is now posted on our video page. The animation work here was created using a drawing program for the Commodore 64 and a Gameboy Color with the Gameboy Camera cartridge.

I took this source material and used modern visual and animation software to give it a bizarre anachronistic feel, a mix of hi-tech/lo-tech.

The music performed mixes sections from The Painful Leg Injuries recent recordings The Forever Ending Revolutions on Autopilot, The Quicker Are The Encumbered, If The Devil's In The Details Than How Many Details Can You Fit Upon A Match? and some samples of our next album The Anomaly That Had Gotten The Better Of Me.

Take a look and enjoy.

Way back in April of 2005, I had no idea what I was going to with information I found. The first rumbling about a new internet radio phenomena had been floating around. This is when I first heard people discussing "podcasting". Being shocked by how easy it was to podcast with a basic knowledge of web design, I got into the idea of doing a conceptual/abstract music podcast. And then the Painful Leg Injuries Podcast was born.

Now, two years down the line, Atari Latch -Key Misleadings is the 100th episode. It's been a great experience sharing music with the public on a weekly basis and I plan to keep going. Thanks to everyone who has listened, and hopefully enjoyed. At this point, I'd like to announce that at some point in the first half 2008, I'll be releasing the second box set of Painful Leg Injuries Podcasts, which will be called Intricate Jigsaw Instances Play 52 Card Pick-Up covering all the 2006 episodes.

Another benchmark this week is the 75th episode of the El Plan De Aguavodka podcast, Copyright (De)sensitive a jolting disruptive work of tape glitches. Next up is this week's offering from Little Ricky's House of Chankletas, another 80's horror-film style journey with Violeniste. The Alex Spalding Podcast continues the Impermanence series with Pine Smell an echo chamber of ax chops.

Take care, until next week.

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.
