You'll hear the following album tracks, in the following order:

Audiosurgeon 007: The (Even More) New Music Issue

jason@pixelsurgeon.com (Audiosurgeon (the official podcast of Pixelsurgeon)) — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 06:20:15 PST

AudioSurgeon - Episode 007: The (Even More) New Music Issue, Featuring over twenty minutes of uninterrupted new tunes from Amon Tobin, 4hero, Charlotte Hatherley and more...

CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIOSURGEON IN iTUNES!

We told you we'd be back. Although we can only apologise to all our listeners for howe long it's taken us. We hope you'll both forgive us. We actually recorded some new discussions at Christmas, but somehow, launching a 'best of 2006' podcast when it's already February 2007 just didn't seem like the best plan.

So whilst we promise we will all try and get in the same room as eachother in the near future, for now we bring you something a little different. Sam has got together over 20 minutes worth of uninterrupted music for you to gorge your ears on. And it's all new, coming soon, or only just slightly not quite new. In fact, you'll probably prefer it to the lengthy wittering session that we normally expose you too. So enjoy it while you can, 'cos we'll be wittering on and on about the usual stuff real soon!

Audiosurgeon 006: The New Music Issue

jason@pixelsurgeon.com (Audiosurgeon (the official podcast of Pixelsurgeon)) — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 13:04:16 PDT

AudioSurgeon - Episode 006: The New Music Issue, Featuring interviews with Aim and the Iconfactory, and new music from TY, Bonobo, The Format, Braintax and more...

CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIOSURGEON IN iTUNES!

Well it's several weeks late, and for that we can only apologise, but conflicting schedules, workloads and technical 'issues' have just kept holding us back. As a result there's no central discussion this time, although we promise this will return next time. Saying that, at least you don't have to listen to us wittering on about random stuff this time, and can instead enjoy all the extra new music we've found you instead, from Bonobo and Braintax to Dan Arborise and The Format via Squarepusher and DJ Kentaro.

We've also landed two sweet interviews for you; the first with Andy Turner, the man behind Aim, the celebrated UK Hip-Hop act, and the second with Gedeon Maheux from the Iconfactory, the kings of icon design.

And regular listeners will be pleased to know that Ask Rina is back. As ever, let us know your thoughts, and on the right you'll find how to leave questions for Rina.

Audiosurgeon 005 - The M. Night Shyamalan Issue

jason@pixelsurgeon.com (Audiosurgeon (the official podcast of Pixelsurgeon)) — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 03:44:40 PDT

AudioSurgeon - Episode 005: The M. Night Shyamalan Issue, Featuring interviews with Bey Logan, Hong Kong Cinema Expert, Writer and Producer, and Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe, Directors of Brothers in the Head

CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIOSURGEON IN iTUNES!

In our fifth issue, we talk about M. Night Shyamalan's distinctive movies, from The Sixth Sense through to Lady in the Water, via Unbreakable and The Village.

On the interview front, Sam chatted to Bey Logan, the Hong Kong cinema expert, writer, producer and occassional actor, who's worked with Jackie Chan, Tony Jaa, and many other action stars. Jason also caught up with Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe, the directors of Brothers in the Head, a movie with an unusual premise; it's about a pair of conjoined twins who are rock stars.

And things aren't half bad on the musical tip either. We've got exclusives from Kid Koala, Yarah Bravo, the Motorettes, and a whole earful more.

'Ask Rina' will be back soon we promise. In the meantime, keep sending your questions to askrina@pixelsurgeon.com.

Comments hugely appreciated...

AudioSurgeon 004 - The Cars and Pixar Issue

jason@pixelsurgeon.com (Audiosurgeon (the official podcast of Pixelsurgeon)) — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 10:57:08 PDT

AudioSurgeon - Episode 004: The Cars and Pixar Issue, Featuring interviews with Tommy Pallotta, Producer of a Scanner Darkly, and New Young Pony Club

CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIOSURGEON IN iTUNES!

After the mammoth 'event' that was Podcast 003, we thought we'd keep things a little more simple this time around, for our own sanity as much as yours. But that hasn't stopped us from scouring the globe for some great interviews and music though. Oh no.

Not only did we get chance to speak with the funky punky New Young Pony Club, we also found time to chat with Tommy Pallotta, the Producer of Richard Linklater's new movie, A Scanner Darkly. And as well as our own discussion about Cars, and the animation institution that is Pixar, you'll hear the usual range of great tunes, from Alice Russell and DJ Spinna, to Assembly Now, The Gossip, and more...

'Ask Rina' is taking a break this issue, but she'll be back, so please keep sending your questions to askrina@pixelsurgeon.com, and with any luck Reen will be able to enlighten you in a future podcast.

As ever, please let us know what you think by leaving a comment.

It's two weeks late and a dollar short, but feel the width. We had so much stuff for this podcast we had to break it into two parts. Part A features an interview with Rowan Woods, director of gritty Aussie flick Little Fish, featuring Cate Blanchett, Sam Neill and Hugo Weaving. Alex Wiltshire tells us what he thinks of the Nintendo Wii's controller and we have part 1 of Super Hero movie discussion. And of course there is a ton of cool music from Punish the Atom and more.
