The last paragraph of former FADER editor-in-chief Knox Robinson's "West Coast Negrock & Roll" feature from FADER 12 , which includes a lengthy segment on the ever-elusive Cody ChesnuTT, contains a sentence that could easily apply to Barack: "Their ability to withstand the pressure with which they will be faced, or the cunning they will need to adapt its commercial power to their creative needs, seems...

The Microphones ' 2001 windswept epic The Glow Pt. 2 is, with love to Cody ChesnuTT, a true headphone masterpiece. The disc-- which some website called its favorite album of that particular year -- was a triumph for young Phil Elverum (then calling himself Phil Elvrum), who somehow managed to encapsulate the unique beauty of the Pacific Northwest in Pt. 2 's crackling sonics and delicate homespun...

Cody ChesnuTT - "Boils" . It's Frosh Week in Montreal - that's like Freshers Week, but Canadian, - and all around the city are dewy-eyed kids who have stumbled into love-affairs. They're groping at each other with all kinds of astonished gusto. You see them making out at the bar and each half's internal narrative seems to be: wow; wow; wow; oh man, wow . Cody presents a sermon - he sings the holy...
