It's odd that all weekend long, Austin's surrounding counties were under tornado watches that the other two, distantly located podcasters had weather on their minds.

Wow, I feel like a DJ. Anyway, this week's podcasts are now up, with Accumulation, the final episode of Alex Spalding's Dead Pulse series, and the title is very appropriate. A dense fog builds, with lovely textures.

El Plan De Aguavodka explores a Phill Niblock territory with Dry River Bed Dreams Of Flood. Great tones, build into complicated frequency overlays, five excellent minutes.

Finallys there's builds and releases, though Gameboys don't sound like tornadoes. The Painful Leg Injuries' third episode of the Improvisations for Gameboy series arrives this week.

Be sure to tune in next week for the premiere episode of the Barry Seroff Podcast. To celebrate Barry's playing this Sunday at ABC No Rio in NYC. letting you know that this Sunday,

Welcome back, everyone.

Our latest podcasts are now up. El Plan De Aguavodka delivers one of his very intricate epics with Sistine Chapel By Memory. Eerie and subtle.

Alex Spalding's latest is Warm. Which sounds like a chip-tune version of a porn soundtrack. Pretty awesome.

The Painful Leg Injuries's latest is the second of series of Improvisations for Gameboy Color Pushpin synth. This time I try to ruin 8bit music's cute reputation with spiky aggression. Well, it is still cute in some places.

On May 5th our old friend Barry Seroff returns with his new weekly podcast. Don't miss it.

Also, don't forget to check out the new album by the Harmful Free Radicals, Duplicate Factories of Washington State. Click here to listen and purchase.

See you next week.

Welcome back everyone.

New podcast this week. The Painful Leg Injuries have begun a new series, Improvisations for Gameboy. A follow up to the 2007 series called Instant Compositions For Gameboy, however since that time I've built an interface to run the Pushpin cartridge which turns a Gameboy Color into a MIDI-operable synth. I put it to use in six part series.

El Plan De Aguavodka's latest episode is Tall, Dark and Wanted which sounds like a miniature Ennio Morricone soundtrack. Progenesis is Alex Spalding's latest surprisingly pretty and ambient.

Don't forget to check out our latest CD-R release The Harmful Free Radicals' Duplicate Factories of Washington State.

See you next week.

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.
