I enjoy a podcast produced by KALW in San Francisco by Richard Friedman, available here: http://rchrd.com/mfom/wp/index.php

From the site:

Music From Other Minds: a program of new and unusual music by innovative composers and performers around the world. Produced for KALW 91.7 FM San Francisco by Other Minds and presented by Richard Friedman.

Today's podcast stream featured a dreary Hovhaness piano sonata, and then a wonderful new work by David Simons (at the 12:50 mark) called Odentity (2005) in a 43 tone to the octave scale. You can download it here:

You absolutely must listen to this piece. Terrific work by this NY based composer percussionist. I wish we could talk him into joining the Yahoo group list.
