(It's available online at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/01/16/sunday/main7252648.shtml?tag=cbsnewsTwoColUpperPromoArea ). I did, however, notice one glaring omission from their litany of positive facts, which--in fairness--only an Ectophile would be likely to detect: New Jersey is the birthplace of Ecto. It was 20 years ago this past June that Jessica, our founder, caused this list to arrive on Earth, hosted on a server at Rutgers. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. It's one of the more unsung facts abut the garden State, admittedly; but not without its own commemoration in song: A number of years ago, I wrote a couple of additional verses to "The Rolling Mills of New Joisey," John Roberts and Tony Barrand's spoof of a traditional Scottish song, in praise of Ecto and Happy. It's in the Ecto archives for November 3, 1993 (available online at ecto.org).

Personal faves are Beast and Close Watch, but there are a number of other memorable songs. Anyone else think she looks a bit like Chlok Sevigny? :-) - --Doug On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 10:46 PM, Neile Graham wrote: > I'm not sure what to say about these three, though I'm enjoying all three of them--in between bouts of my continuing obsession with Emma McKenna, that is. > > The connecting thread is that they're slightly experimental pop psych-ish retro 60s/70s new folk (at least -ish) > > Lia Ices - Grown Unknown > http://www.liaices.com > http://www.myspace.com/liaices > > Agnes Obel - Philharmonics > http://www.agnesobel.com > http://www.myspace.com/obelmusic > > Hannah Peel - The Broken Wave > http://www.myspace.com/hanpeel > > They're all great. But do yourself a favour and let Emma McKenna seep into your consciousness. Once she has reached critical mass in your mind she won't let go.
