i just got back from the bay area a week ago where i was lucky enough to see my good friend univac perform with his teletet (a quartet of circuit bent teletubbies with sound and lights). he makes beautiful, playable circuit bent devices, many of which you can see on his site: techdweeb.com
speaking of live circuit bent jams GetLoFi has some great video from LoFi Fest 07
another amazing man with an amazing machine: wizard fingers
the folks at Operation Re-Information have some great free and not so free software for adventurous digital music makers and noiseniks.
