This week is the 100th episode of the El Plan De Aguavodka Podcast!

The El Plan De Aguavodka Podcast started with the launch of the label in January of 2006. Since then, like my own podcast John Ibarra has been releasng music just about every week. John's creativity and broad sound palette has been a exciting thing to listen to every week.

John's work is often beautiful, monolithic, sometimes violent, always intriguing and involving.

This week with Binaural Amnesia John continues his podcast with a miniature, in fact the very shortest in duration since his first (Bueno Cancelo was :38). This piece is about John's reflections on what forgetting actually is, and the noise and static breakouts recall the short circuits of the mind, and the what can happen to the mind only few feet above the third rail repeatedly over a long period time.

Though it's difficult to connect stand-up comedy and experimental noise music, I have to say one of the biggest influences in my most impressionable years were the jokes, quips, tirades and wisdom of George Carlin. To the left is a mock-up made of the photocopied cover of the tape my friend, Mark Hurley, made of a George Carlin tape I listened to, repeatedly, every day, in 9th grade on the school bus. His most recent HBO special, It's Bad For Ya, showed his in a bit weathered, but ultimate his wit was as sharp as ever.




Also this week, the Barry Seroff Podcast begins it's second series, Call And Response, the first a number of Barry's collaborations. This series is four episodes of Barry collaborating with yours truly. We both recorded two tracks the "calls", then we swapped, and recorded the "responses". I choose to limit myself to my Pushpin/Gameboy synth, and Barry hit me with big surprises. The first episode is Prelude. This one begin on my end, I made a twisted cascade of arp-ed Gameboy squeaks and Barry responded with some gorgeous guitar work. Also check out the latest episode of the Painful Leg Injuries Podcast Duo:East Berlin Is For Lovers the latest of my Hobnox Multiplication series and this time I make a sci-fi-techno-mosh-pit-freak-out, that I think you'll love.

We will be taking a brief break from updates, so the podcasts will return on July 14th.

Until then take care.

Hello everyone, it's out, David Lee Myers and Marco Oppedisano's Tesla At Coney Island, the latest release on OKSRNA. To order your copy from CDbaby, click here.

I've long been a fan of David Lee Myers' music. His early work as Arcane Device is the foundation of much of today's electronic music. Marco Oppedisano blew me away with his gorgeous ribbons of swirling guitar, from the first time I stumbled across his myspace page. Together the make a powerful as Tesla At Coney Island demonstrates.

The Barry Seroff Podcast this week is Piano, lovely and tense recording on the aforementioned instrument. Don't miss Barry performing his Duo #3 in NYC this week. Here's some details :

El Plan De Aguavodka's latest episode is Meanwhile In Another Corner of the Afterlife, it's a another effects processed batch of AM radio which is full on blast of filtered noise that sounds eerily like a cello, awesome.

The Painful Leg Injuries continue Hobnox Multiplication series with Quartet : Guru Dance The Beakers Broke Orca Laughed. It's sounds like two dozen processed techno records playing simultaneously. Feel free to get down.

Take care, until next week.

Hey everyone, thanks for checking back in.

Our latest podcasts have now been posted. El Plan De Aguavodka's latest episode is The First 3.5 Minutes In Heaven, a very rough textured noise beast of processed AM radio that is a fierce, scary seven minutes.

Barry Seroff's latest shows his prowess with the Shakuhachi, and it's at the complete other end of the spectrum than John's latest, is delightful, pretty and though a little eerie, it's peaceful.

The Painful Leg Injuries continue their exploration of the web-based techno/groove oriented software, Hobnox, played on multiple laptops. This piece, Duo : Glass In My Mouth is hardly dance-worthy, a very glass textured sounding piece.

Until next week, take care.
