Best You’ve Never Heard: Snowden Anti Anti

By Giania • Jul 20th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: From Crackle: Snowden Anti Anti official video Shared by Mathiasx via #ectomo. I really like this! The video itself looks like it was generated by painstaking hours on a Lite Bright, although I’m sure that’s probably not the case. The sound is modern, perhaps a rather common brand of modern not-quite-pop. Yet it’s pleasant [...]



Wednesday Mix: It was really “That Kind of Day”

By Giania • Apr 2nd, 2008 • Category: Audio, Fnord

Hot: Boy was it ever! I would explain it to you, but I barely understood it myself. For your listening pleasure, however, I’ve put together another mixwit mix tape that I feel helps express in very broad terms the kind of day I had. Featuring Kajiura Yuki – Key of the Twilight Sonic Youth – [...]



Best You’ve Never Heard: Guided By Voices

By Giania • Feb 18th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot: Although Guided By Voices were around between 1983 and 2004, there is a good chance you’ve never heard of this band. I know I wouldn’t have if it hadn’t been for the combined efforts of a cover by …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead and Ian‘s prodigious musical knowledge. The [...]



One Television You Shouldn’t Throw Away

By Giania • Jul 25th, 2007 • Category: Audio, media

Hot: Clocking in at 11 minutes, this alternate take of the title track from the rerelease of Televison’s 1977 album Marquee Moon is a sweeping soundscape of what translates to near pure bliss for this listener. “Eleven minutes?!” one may be inclined to exclaim, “Why that’s much longer than 3! and far longer than the [...]



Reponse Noise: Lou Reed – “Wild Side”

By Giania • Jul 8th, 2007 • Category: Articles of Interest, Audio, media

Hot: While Ectomo’s litmus test of child worthiness is good for the younger set, it is often good to present your little parasite with further challenges as they grow to ensure that they weren’t just pulling one over on you before. (Children are known to be wily, despite an inate tendency towards stupidity.) If your [...]



Ween: Freedom of 76

By Giania • Jun 29th, 2007 • Category: Audio, Memes, Potent Potables

Hot: Editor’s Post Script: I was quite drunk when I first posted this, with no preamble or followup comment. Suffice it to say I had been cruising around YouTube while saucing it up, and decided this great live performance by Ween (way back in the day) was highly deserving of a nod from the RKNet [...]



Blonde Redhead – 23

By Giania • Jun 26th, 2007 • Category: Audio, Fnord, media

Hot: This group caught my eye as I was researching Cocorosie. Although this group steers far more towards the sensibilities of My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth than Cocorosie. It’s pleasant, uses harmonious vocals and delicious guitar distortion. I’m no technical expert, but I know what I like and this group passes all checks! (Plus, [...]
