The most delectable beer you'll find in a convenience store. It comes in a soothing green glass bottle and is one of the only beers in existence that actually tastes *better* in conjuction with cigarette smoking.

A musical genre, essentially synonymous with shoegazer and dream pop.
Since the genre is usually characterized by hazy, floating melodies and a saturation with guitar effects, the result is a spacey sensation not unlike a beautiful dream or a drug experience. For this reason, the name assumedly comes from the combination of the words ether (name for the heavens, or above the atmosphere; also a type of drug) and bliss (the state you enter when the music starts playing, if all goes well).

A band from Manchester. Autechre creates elaborately structured and highly detailed electronic music, usually labeled IDM. The music is often abstract and non-referential, thus rendering much of it largely inaccessible and sometimes misunderstood. Early releases tend to be electro-influenced and somewhat melodic, later releases tend to be more intricately structured and difficult. They have had releases on Warp records since the early 90's.
They often draw obvious comparisons to aphex twin, squarepusher, plaid, and others (based on the loose IDM classification), although they are really quite different.
There is a neverending debate on the pronunciation of this word. See below for the generally accepted pronunciation.
