Words by Chris If you look deep into a doggie's eyes, you see either pure innocent love of life or the kill-or-be-killed instinct sewn into their DNA by their savage wolf heritage. Here's some songs right on that line. [...]

![Lil Wayne On The Cover Of CCS Skateboard Magazine [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4235718_lg.jpg)
CCS recently brought hip-hop megastar Lil Wayne together with Torey Pudwill, Theotis Beasley, Shane O'Neill and Paul Rodriguez for a historic pairing of skateboarding and hip-hop for the May issue magalog cover. It ended up being much more than just a photo shoot as Weezy and the crew literally skated deep into the early morning hours at P-Rod's private park. If there's one thing for sure it's that Lil Wayne is definitely down for the ride—the man hardly ever put his board down. Check out the Behind The Cover video and photos to see what else happened during this most [...]

5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Photo by Studio Muscle Words by Chris When you think of this genre, and the dramatic crescendos and/or post-apocalyptic fury that comes with it, certain bands come to mind- Mogwai , Tortoise , Sigur Rós , Silver Mt. Zion -but I'd [...]

5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Words by Chris "Remember remember the 5th of November." Somewhere Alan Moore is rolling his eyes for like the hundredth time at our feeble attempts to adapt his insane narratives of the fascist illuminati running the Western World (not to give anything away). I wonder what he thinks about people [...]

We may not be knights, but we've spent plenty of nights debating bands and records, and what we have to show for it today is this here roundtable. The Shins are, at this point, an indie institution, bursting forth from relative obscurity to mainstream-ish adoration, undergoing lineup changes at frontman James Mercer's behest, spawning side projects (well, side project), and all the while soundtracking our breakups, seasonal depressions, self-affirmative comebacks, and general emotional developments/devolutions. Where better to look now than tomorrow, and the Port of Morrow , more specifically. We have our thoughts, you have yours, and [...]

5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Words by Chris At our most vulnerable moments, we might come face-to-face with death and the very nature of our mortal existence. Here we will examine that bareness via the pop song, which as a vessel has carried many horribly dark tales of dealing with our flawed lifespan for decades. [...]

It's that time of year to look back on the past 12 months and say "what the hell happened to the last 12 months?!". It's also that time of year where us music bloggers and self-proclaimed critics take the time to put together some Best Of lists for your reading pleasure. They don't really mean a whole lot and you can love 'em or leave 'em, but it seems like the right thing to do to sum up the year in preparation of the next. This year we're featuring personal lists from all of our fantastic writers. [...]

5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Words by Chris There's a fine line between bashing you over the head and cradling your imagination. There's also a blend of seething irony that can make or break a whole vision. I'm thinking of the Obama Administration using "Fake Empire" by The National as a song for [...]

5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Words by Chris "The Other Guy" is the energetic Steve Lambke, who provides vocals on at least one track on all of Constantines ' records. Unlike main vocalist Bryan Webb-whose voice is raspy and gruff-Lambke's voice is thin and papery, and decidedly youthful in comparison. Lambke's songs are often [...]
We're really not used to Cinnamon Chasers sounding as raw as they do on this reMix of 'Cuts Like Fire' by Vasili Gavre . The original, taken from CC's second full length SynthWave/ElectroPop masterpiece 'Science' , was already one of the more live sounding tracks on the album but retained that Cinnamon Casers smoothness, Gavre takes that liveness and runs with it crafting an energetic, rough-as-you-like- slice of ElectroPop full of Rock drums and chainsaw synths. Kinda' reminds me a bit of the tracks Guns 'N' Bombs were doing a few years ago. [...]

Wilco is. That's better. It's kind of hard to put a finger on this band's direction from time-to-time, and that's probably good. They make interesting records, that's for sure. [...]

5 Songs is a weekly series where we point out the strange, the grand, and the unique connections between our favorite songs. Let's get weird. Words by Chris Carosi It's a drag to think about love sometimes, and these 5 songs take into account the fragility of love in the form of li'l animals, and use them to expose truths about abandonment, sexual congress, and asphyxiation. You go, girls! [...]

Apocalypse Bill Callahan Drag City - April 5, 2011 Words by Chris Carosi Bill Callahan 's 14th proper album (and 3rd under his own name) gallops through the meditative space indicated by the title, both as a lonely world of the west, and the personal places after an ending relationship. Callahan has always read the relation between estranged lovers as an exchange on the frontier, with the narrator usually assuming the role of a cowboy. Here, it's [...]

[Here we'll look at some things you probably passed up when you were a kid because you were too busy playing Star Wars with your friend who was actually a jerk… and who threw a tantrum when you schooled him in NHL '96. What a little bitch. There are roots in the ground that still nurture.] Pure Phase Spiritualized Electric Mainline Dedicated, 1995 Produced by Jason Pierce Words by Christopher [...]
