Welcome back everyone.

This week the Painful Leg Injuries begin their 27th podcast series, and it's follow up to Series 2 - Echo Synth Guitar. My Unisynth XG 1, having been in a closet from around '94 to 2K5, had a rough year in 2008. It no longer would play back from battery power, and then it shut down completely. Now I had always resisted the temptation to bend it, but since I had to open it up to fix it. Well, it was pretty much guaranteed I'd find something I'd want to do to it.

I played it conservatively adding only two flip switches, one that pushes it to a higher octave, and another I call the "Chaos" switch, which seems to play all six voices at once. So this new series is 6 guitar solos using this modified instrument, running through the same processing rig that series 2 used with digital plug-in effects as well. It's less drone-y and spacey than the first series, but it's also more colorful, and quirky.

This week is also the final epsiode of Barry Seroff's podcast series with his Lapis Lapuzi bandmate Stefan Paolini. Kami Mono is a delightfully prety and surprising piece.

El Plan De Aguavodka's newest episode is Spirits Refuse. This piece for laptop, and effects is absolutely frightening, if this is the sound of ghosts refusing, then please, John, stop asking.

Take care until next week.
