Good morning everyone, this is an exciting week for us here at OKSRNA. The first CD-R release of 2008 is now out and available, The Harmful Free Radicals' Duplicate Factories of Washington State. To listen to the songs and/or purchase click here.

Aside from being the first CD-R we've released this year, it's also the project that lead to the start of the label. It began in 2003 when myself, and Jonah Goldstein (The Unevenness of the Moon’s Surface), found ourselves briefly living on the same coast for first time in many years. We decided to resume our old habit of recording bizarre experimental pop music together and see what became of it. Duplicate Factories of Washington State is result of those '03 sessions plus four years of songwriting, re-recording and editing. It's pop songs in the vein of Gastr Del Sol's Camofleur album, David Sylvain's Blemish, Brian Eno's Before and After Science and Animal Collective's Sung Tongs. But you guys know us by now, those are references only, we've never made music that is easily described.

In other news, starting in May, Barry Seroff, formerly of riotous punk-jazz band Little Ricky's House of Chankletas will be returning to the fold as our with new weekly podcast. It feature Barry doing what he loves, lots of exploration and improv, and he'll also be doing some collaborating. I can't wait to hear this stuff, so I've got something to look forward to in May besides Austin's infamous heat.

Now to this week's podcasts. This week the Painful Leg Injuries drop the final episode of the Up With The Ether series, with Avoicable Voids. Among the thousands shouting on a radio for your attention, one person may possess wisdom, if you can figure out what they are saying.

El Plan De Aguavodka does the best Paris Hilton remix ever with Paris Destroyed. Al hilarious, deeply engaging and exciting piece to listen to, amazing that John could find something so interesting in music made by imho one of the five worst people in America.

Alex Spalding's latest is Seduction (Prolonged). A minimal techno song, with a tense atmosphere waiting for release.

Take care, until next week.
