First, this Saturday, March 14th, I'll be doing a solo performance of some Painful Leg Injuries music following a brief lecture on my Wii-mote controlled music at SXSW Interactive with the Austin chapter of dorkbot! I go on first a 6pm. It's being held at Brush Square Park on 5th and Neches. I'll be demonstrating Wii music, and then I'll be playing a few tracks from the next Painful Leg Injuries album The Anomaly That Had Gotten The Better Of Me. If you are available, come by!

Next, the latest issue of Make Magazine, Issue 17, has an article written by yours truly on page 161 called "The Stealth Mic". This is basically a tutorial on building your own binaural microphones. Binaural mics, are mics that are placed roughly where a person's ears are are great for capturing sounds that preserve the real-life stereo image. They've been used on albums by Radiohead, Brian Eno and Can.

New podcasts this week, starting with Barry Seroff and his crew, Screwtape's latest grindcore jazz melange, Fuck The Establishment. Wow, I haven't heard that phrase in a long time. Also the latest from the Painful Leg Injuries, With Time Everything Goes Away is the third part of our latest series, Spoken With (Forked) Tongues, compositions made from sampling audio clips of people speaking in tongues.

Unfotunately, our good friend John Ibarra has had a laptop pass away and there won't be a new El Plan De Aguavodka podcast for a bit. We will keep you posted on when John's able to resume.

Until next week.
