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 – [...]



Sparks – This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us

By Giania • Sep 5th, 2007 • Category: Audio

Hot: The video basically speaks for itself. After having listened to the song, I have to say I had not prepared myself for the experience the video had to offer. Although shot on ’74 on a disco program, it foreshadows so much 80′s pomp and obscurity. And either the lead singer is the most gender [...]

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 [...]



What I Waste My Time On

By Giania • May 3rd, 2007 • Category: Memes, Philosophy, media

Hot: 50,000,000 Blank White Pixels for starters. Although I prefer to see it as an exercise in photoshoppery, combined with an unwillingess to stagnate into the blah conformity of constant stress. My private, LAN-based ShoutCast radio station. I enjoy sharing my musical collection and providing my co-workers and myself with an enjoyable soundscape for the [...]
