Video: Human Skateboard

By Adam Soldinger • Apr 15th, 2009 • Category: The Wire, Video

One of the more talented and twisted stop-motion animators I’ve ever seen, PES has become a web sensation with his mind-boggling use of everyday objects to turn ordinary scenes into some of the sweetest eye candy available online. This particular video was done as a commercial for Sneaux Shoes, but check out “Western Spaghetti” [...]



Freeride World Tour: Nissan Tram Face, Day 2 cancelled

By Adam Soldinger • Mar 4th, 2009 • Category: Events, News, The Wire

The recent heavy snowfall in the western U.S. hasn’t been good news for everyone on the slopes, especially those involved in the Freeride World Tour at Squaw Valley. Unfortunately, after a successful first day of competition on the Silverado Face, a storm rolled in and made conditions on the elusive Tram Face too dicey [...]

Footage of Jonny Moseley pulling out a dinner roll during his 2002 Olympic bump run in Salt Lake City. Gotta love the dive into the crowd after the finish…



“You Go On Ahead” – Sunset Rubdown [Black Cab Sessions]

By Adam Soldinger • Feb 13th, 2009 • Category: Song of the Day, The Wire

Following in the footsteps of Vincent Moon’s Take-Away Shows (or Les Concerts A Emporter) and (I guess) “Taxicab Confessions”, this series of videos, called Black Cab Sessions, showcases artists performing in one take in the back of, predictably, a taxicab.
In this particular installment Sunset Rubdown, one of Wolf Parade’s Spencer Krug’s many side projects, performs [...]

I think I just crapped my pants.



“Polite Dance Song” – The Bird and the Bee

By Adam Soldinger • Feb 12th, 2009 • Category: Song of the Day, The Wire

I remember seeing The Bird and the Bee at the Silverlake Lounge about 3 or 4 years ago when they were still a blip in the mess that is the Los Angeles music scene. Since then they’ve released three studio albums, one EP and two LP’s, and have managed to ride the fine line [...]



“Shutterbuggin’” – Buck 65

By Adam Soldinger • Feb 11th, 2009 • Category: Song of the Day, The Wire

Living up to his reputation as one of the more visionary hip-hoppers around, Buck 65 delivers this little nugget off of his most recent studio release, Situation.  The video is directed by Christopher Mills, known mostly for his breakthrough work with Modest Mouse, The Tragically Hip, The Secret Machines and Interpol, and is surely one [...]

Video: Helmet Cam Avalanche Survival

By Adam Soldinger • Jan 22nd, 2009 • Category: The Wire, Video

Granted, this video works as one hell of an advertisement for Black Diamond’s Avalung system but it’s real and it’s pretty damn scary, especially with all the in-bounds avalanches we had in the states around Christmas and New Years. In the video from last April, skier Chris Cardello is skiing a line in Haines, [...]
