Radio Valencia’s own Trademark G and Miss Frilly Pants of Evolution Control Committee will join yours truly on this Monday’s A Season in Hell, with John Hell. They have a great new mash-up CD release out, “All Rights Reserved“, which we’ll be featuring. We’ll also share some of their fine influences. ECC has a weekly show on Radio Valencia, live Thursday 9-11AM, as well as a repeat Tuesday’s 8-10pm. We’re talking quality “music” here.

ECC on ubRadio Salon & Season In Hell radio shows
Monday, 25 April 2011 16:53
This week The ECC makes two guest appearances on two very different radio shows: Monday on A Season In Hell on Radio Valencia and Wednesday on the ubRadio Salon on DFM. (These are in addition to our regular Sound Of Plaid radio show!)
8pm PDT Monday 04/25/11: The ECC is the guest of DJ John Hell on his radio show A Season In Hell at Radio Valencia in the San Francisco Mission:
TRADEMARK G AND MISS FRILLY PANTS ON A SEASON IN HELL THIS MONDAY, 8-10PM |
4pm PDT Wednesday 04/27/11: The ECC returns once again to the Big City Orchestra's ubRadio Salon on DFM Radio International in Amsterdam, joining guest Univac to explore a very odd and needlessly prolix theme:
"Shut Up Little Man!" Documentary
Wednesday, 20 April 2011 06:18
Congratulations to Matthew Bate and Closer Productions in Australia! After visiting ECC studios and guesting on The Sound Of Plaid, they've completed their documentary "Shut Up Little Man: An Audio Misadventure" about lovable miscreants Raymond & Peter. It's started on the festival circuit and even made it into Sundance!
Their main trailer is a collage of various interviewees reciting bits of R&P's drunken dialogues; The ECC's TradeMark G. is right there at the beginning. Looking forward to seeing the full film!
This Week's Special Guest: WOBBLY

Playlist: (thanks, Wobbly!) |
Our guest for this week's Sound Of Plaid radio show is Wobbly (aka Jon Leidecker).
Wobbly has had a long music career as a musician equally adept at sampling versus non-sampling music. Recent work has focused more on collaborations, including a new album with Matmos and Lesser (Wobbly also collaborated with The ECC for the Beatlerape Live show). Wobbly's wikipedic knowledge of music attracted the Barcelona Contemporary Museum of Art, and the result is Variations: a six part (so far) series of one-hour podcasts exploring the history of sampling, collage, and the general concept of remixing. Impressive in both scope and detail, It is quite possibly the most in-depth series of its kind.
On this week's show, we talk to Wobbly about Variations, Chart Sweep, the inevitable Girl Talk mention, and the soul of the mashup.
Many chances to hear the show, and if you can't make the times below, you can hear it at The Sound Of Plaid Archives.

ECC Band Of The Month on Kooba Radio
Tuesday, 12 April 2011 16:10
London-based Kooba Radio has selected The Evolution Control Committee as their Band Of The Month for April! I like this excerpt of their write-up, which makes a point about the subtlety of some of our work which I found difficult to convey to the person I was talking to:
1 – Their intelligence.
The choice of source material is so varied and imaginative that it stands head and shoulders above the nearest rival. Some of their work such and What Would You Think If I Sang AutoTune, which features a detuned Ringo Starr on vocals, or The Christmas Wrong, in which Nat King Cole roasts Jack Frost on an open fire, are so subtle that some casual listeners would mistake them for the originals but close attention is rewarded with amusement.
