This week we launch the 11th Series of The Painful Leg Injuries Podcast, Return To The Four Chambers. Last year, for the 3rd Series I podcasted Underground Chambers, sound collages made from my cell phone recordings of NYC's street musicians. I made four episodes, and the series had a good response. I felt like at some point I needed to return to this work, as I felt it could be taken further. This week, the first of six episodes in this new series begins with Central Park, May 6th 2006, Pet Adoption Fair, (For Crindy).

In returning to this work I've changed a few things, first, I am now using a memo recorder instead of my cell phone. As you know, the crappy mic on my cell phone was key to the aesthetic here. However the memo recorder has an equally crappy mic, but the change was inspired by my wanting to have longer samples and recordings. I've also tweaked the source material more, I allowed myself some effects I did allow myself in the previous cycle. For more info on this series check out our blog.

El Plan De Aguavodka's latest, East River Reflections (Aguavideo IV), is a psychedelic jouney into, of all places, the east river. This is the fourth in EPDA's series of video used as the source for his explorations. John knows how to take us on a frightening journey into the most unseeming places. This one's full of microscopic details, listen close and loudly. You may not survive, as you probably wouldn't survive a swim in that drink.

What the hell is the Unevenness of Moon's Surface doing? Is this the worst hip-hop beat ever? Is this what happens if Wolf Eyes got hold of early Autechre tapes? Stop asking stupid questions and love it, the most surprising and perversely satisfying U/M/S podcast to date, Taras Bulba. Did Chewbacca drop a few rhymes at the end? Very cool.

Also, don't forget to check out this month's Signal To Noise, and see our ad on page 77. Also, the Painful Leg Injuries' debut Backwards, Broken and Incorrectly is now available for digital download on Itunes. Click here to launch Itunes and sample the tracks or purchase the album.
