"Some beautiful songs try to make you think that, for a moment, there's no crap in the world, that it's just a beautiful place. But Elliott's songs admit that the world's fucked up, and this is just a beautiful moment we get to have."

1. Slim Moon, "Chinchilla" from Won't You Dance With This Man? (1997, Kill Rock Stars) 2. Witchypoo, "Reaper Song" from Public Works (2000, 5RC) "We really believe in community - that hasn't changed at all. With 100 million households in the US and your average moderately successful underground band only selling somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000 records, the entire community of underground rock is pretty small. So I like to think of our 'nationwide community'... Making money isn't what it's about. Therefore we can care more about the artist or the music. We can care more about aesthetic and political considerations..." - Slim Moon

3. Autoclave, "I'll Take You Down" from Autoclave (1992, Dischord) 4. Helium, "Cosmic Rays" from The Magic City (1997, Matador) 5. Mary Timony, "Aging Astronauts II" from Everything Is Nice (1999, Matador) "I felt like if it wasn't going to be understood, then there was absolutely no point in doing it at all." - Mary Timony

6. Ultra-Red, "A17" from Split #14 (2002, FatCat) "The bottom line is that everything that we deal with is socially constructed, thus we should also be able to construct alternatives that work and deconstruct/demolish alternatives that work for people, not against them." - Leonardo Vilchis

7. The Explosion, "Sick Of Modern Art" from Sick Of Modern Art (2003, Tarantulas) "Kids go to shows like their parents go to cocktail parties - it's stupid. I mean, why not go see a band that has something to say? Why not go to a protest? Why not start a 'zine?" - Sam Cave

8. Erase Errata, "Pass The Crimson" from Puppy Love (2007, Tomlab) "Experimentation and innovation within 'rock' music is still viewed largely as a male domain. This is highly ironic because so many innovators in the early punk/no-wave scenes (from the Slits to the Y-Pants) were women, and there are also plenty of women exploding musical preconceptions and messing with form today. We are conscious of aligning ourselves with that tradition, and wish to make our presence known in that way within both girl-centered and boy-dominated scenes." - Erase Errata

9. Refused, "L-182" from Encapsulated (2000, Doghouse)

10. Bassnectar, "Intro" (featuring Noam Chomsky) from Mesmerizing The Ultra (2005, Organic)
