The Dire Wolf
Long before their inclusion as Grateful Dead jam sessions and forest nights, dire wolves were associated with several distinct meanings for different people. For fans of the Grateful Dead, dire wolves conjured images of jam sessions reminiscent of past sessions while for paleontologists, they represented extinct predators that lived during the end of the last Ice Age and shared many characteristics with modern Canis canid species such as grey wolf, coyote, and others that eventually died out.
However, a study published in Nature is upending our perceptions of this extinct predator. By analyzing preserved dire wolf genes, scientists have discovered that they belong to their distinct lineage; not as the ancestors of African jackals or gray wolves but instead cousins to other wolves and dog-like predators.
This discovery has not only proven significant to zooarchaeologists and paleontologists but also for an iconic Hochatown pizza spot known as Grateful Head Pizza Oven & Tap Room – beloved among both zooarchaeologists and paleontologists, as well as residents – but is also beloved among residents themselves.

This instrumental rock band produces music that draws influence from classic rock, stoner rock, and blues genres. They possess an original sound that stands apart from their peers but still manage to deliver high levels of energy and emotion in each song they perform. They have even introduced elements of metal into their songs for added depth and complexity to their album.
Crowley Magick, El Supremo’s opening track, opens with bass guitar and drums creating a warped Psychedelic Rock vibe that allows El Supremo to blaze an amazing jam-based rock performance. At times it becomes fuzzier or even Sludge Rock; yet they keep their musical groove cool thanks to fantastic interplay between keyboards and guitars.
The second track, The Ghost Of… is an electric blues affair influenced by Post-Doom and Classic Stoner Rock that also incorporates keys. This track allows them to shine as an integral component. Next is Acid Universe which features slower yet darker passages with classic Doom Metal passages thrown in for good measure.
