Also, this week check the PLI's latest podcast, Rubber Earthquake. Also new in the world of podcasts Barry Seroff's latest episode of his series of collaborations with the New Haven Improvisors Collective is La Doma. It begins soft, subtle and pretty and ends in a funky, Miles Davis-fusion period jam that is pretty awesome.

El Plan De Aguavodka's latest podcast is Elephant in Room Dreams of Mountains. A little out of character for Mr. Ibarra, John gave no explanation as to what he used to make this piece, so I'm left to imagine. I see a subway train, an old video game console, an effects array, a broken radio, a vintage keyboard, and the effects of a long time spent living in NYC. Am I on the right track?

Until next week, take care.

Thanks for taking a break from reveling in the joy of Obama to come check out this week's podcast updates.

Barry Seroff's latest is no re-run, it's him doing his piece For 6 (w/ NHIC), as implied by the name, with the New Haven Improvisers Collective, with whom this series Barry collaborates. It's a quiet piece that builds, and while it gets louder in dynamic, it also falls in to various pieces, and it's excellent!

El Plan De Aguavodka's latest is a meeting of a toy keyboard, with some feedback and a piece of malfunctioning software. It's called Someday I'll Look Back and Laugh at the Thought I'd Get Over It. What's not to love?

The Painful Leg Injuries release the second episode of my latest series improvisations of Wii-mote controlled- circuit-bent instruments. This one feature a Speak and Read and a Casio MT240. The Speak and Read named this piece for me which is Ervee Phon Bled And Where They Which Word. It must have its reasons.

Until next week, be well.

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.
