Welcome back.

We are readying our next round of releases starting with Marco Oppedisano's new solo disc The Ominous Corner. I expect it to be out very, very soon. This is Marco second solo release with us, and it is an excellent collection of work. This also marks his return to focusing on live playing, with his more musique concrete constructions in the background, thus this record has stronger sense of focus. Don't take that mean he has lost his interest in abstraction, as this record has pushed that aspect of his work forward as well.

Also expected in September is the long promised, long delayed debut release by BIOS, the trio collaboration between myself (Bill Byrne of Painful Leg Injuries, Marco, and John Ibarra of El Plan De Aguavodka. The main issue we were having was trying to find a way to include our live performance DVD, now that we have, the album will be out in September.

On to the podcasts. The latest from El Plan De Aguavodka is another in a run of absolutely eerie and beautiful pieces for guitar, field recordings and tape. This one is Scandals Overheard and Forgotten in Faculty Housing.

Barry Seroff and Stefan Paolini's series of collaborations reaches its climax this week with the incredible epic, On the Regentrification of the Lower East Side. A pile of the broken remains of vocal snippets, jazz breaks, piano flutters and punk rock guitars, the LES's dead soldiers.

The Painful Leg Injuries let loose The Video Game That Lives in My Mouth, a piece made up of vocal samples, bit crushed to oblivion.

Next week there will be no update, check in with us again when we return on September 7th.

Welcome back folks.

Barry Seroff and Stefan Paolini take us on another continental journey with Tanzania, and it's the kind of trip you don't want to come back from.

El Plan De Agavodka delivers a devastatingly odd work with this queasy guitar piece, Side Effects of Fast Food on Concentration.

The Painful Leg Injuries' latest track is word we can all say to find immediate forgiveness, now matter what we've done it's called Say This, And Become Forgiven No Matter What You've Done.

Take care until next week.

Welcome back.

El Plan De Aguavodka returns this week with She Is Waiting (and so are the lions) a stunning work for an over-taxed computer, guitar, and tape.

Barry Seroff drops the second episode of his collaboration with Stefan Paolini with the un-stable yet fun number An Unwritten Flute Sonata.

The Painful Leg Injuries' latest is Played by Plucking Phonemes and bottom line with this piece, it just got way out of hand.

Be well, until next week.

It's official, I've spent a year of my life in Texas. I never pictured myself outside NYC, though only true haters could find a way to dislike Austin.

This week, new podcasts. Barry Seroff begins a new series of collaborations with longtime-co-hort, the talented pianist, and operatic vocalist (seriously this dude's got pipes), Stefan Paolini. Stefan was also a member of Little Ricky's House of Chankletas, for LRHC fans Stefan is singing "Prrrrick!" at the beginning of the 27 New York Anti-Sonnets. To begin his new series, called w/Stefan Paolini 4/21/08 Barry Steps aside, and Stefan plays solo on Improvisation on BA/SE. And it's great.

Next, The Painful Leg Injuries deliver the second episode of Neither Sung Nor Sung. It's called Squeaky Mice Multiplied By The Floor's Four. This series is compositions I've made using my own voice, through various samplers and effects, as well as live vocalizations that amount in the end to something that doesn't resemble singing or songs. This one's pretty scary.

El Plan De Aguavodka is taking a break this week. Until next week, enjoy.
