Welcome back! This is our first update of 2009.

You'll notice that for the foreseeable future our podcast updates will now be surfacing on Tuesdays instead of Mondays due to a change in my schedule.

Some label news, the BIOS album, Retiring to Palermo to Make Apple Whine is now at the printers, and I have first test copy in front of me, we will keep you posted with all the details of our upcoming releases.

Podcasts have returned. First up, the Painful Leg Injuries are beginning their fourth year of podcasts in '09 with the new series, Wii Ensembles. This series is improvisations of Wii-mote controlled ciruit bent instruments, and the first piece is a massive droning beast, Looking Through the Magnifying Glass At A Larger Lens.

Our good friend John of El Plan De Aguavodka begins his new year with another processed field recording. Snow on the Tracks and Vin de Glace is another John's lovely discoveries of the microcosmic world around us.

And Barry Seroff launches another group of jams with yet another of his collaborative projects, this time, the New Haven Improvisers Collective. The first episode of this series is Bass Is Displace featuring the players: Barry: Flute, Jeff Cedrone: Guitar, Nate Trier: Keyboard, Bob Gorry: Rubber Band Bass and Composition, Steve Zieminski- Drums. It's one of the sweetest chunks of armageddon you've ever heard.

It's great to be back, see you next week.
