Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Yeasayer’s Sound
Over the last few years, bands like Animal Collective, MGMT and Amazing Baby have been combing the acid-drenched sounds of the 1960’s San Fran ballroom bands, and those of the LA’s 1980’s Paisley Underground for a new breed of psychedelic music. Among this new crop bands – that seem to attract both hipsters and hippies […]
Mike Gordon Announces March Tour
I guess the members of Phish aren’t into spending too much time off the road these days, as we’ve got a second band member hitting the road this winter. Phish bassist Mike Gordon has just announced an eight show run with his solo band that kicks off on March 5 at the tiny Revolution Hall […]

Video: JT & Matt Morris – Hallelujah
One of the many musical highlights from Friday night’s Hope For Haiti Now telethon was a simply stunning version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah done by Justin Timberlake and his new protege Matt Morris.

The Doors: Live In New York
If you've never succumbed to the earthy yet cerebral music of The Doors, you're not likely to plunk down big bucks for a multi-CD box set, even if you find it half-price off or more at your local mega retailer. but if you know someone who got it as a Christmas present, take a listen to any one of the six CDs and see if the performance doesn't radically alter your perception and pre-conception of Jim Morrison and company.
Anvil – “Ignoring The Death Card”
Plagued by poor management and bad record labels throughout their career, Anvil has had a long journey, but the best is only starting to unravel. In 2008, Sasha Gervasi, an ex-road crew member released an award winning documentary about the band and its revival called, Anvil! The Story of Anvil. With the huge success of the film over the past few years, Anvil has launched itself right up to the summit, even earning them a spot to open for AC/DC. Dedication to the dream of becoming a rock star that was instilled at a young age has never withered in the mind of Lips. This past Tuesday, on the first night of the tour, Glide got a chance to catch up with Lips before the show.
