Jason Gershuny March 18, 2008 No Comments

P.B.S. (Porter, Batiste, Stoltz) is finally getting the opportunity to cool their heels a bit after an extended West coast tour that took them to cities large and small. Along the way in Portland Oregon, Glide had the opportunity to sit down with George Porter Jr., Russell Batiste Jr., and Brian Stoltz to talk about the rigors and realities of life on the road, the inspirational process of creating music together, and George Porter Jr.’s obsession with the internet.

Martin Malloy March 12, 2008 No Comments

This winter we were all witness to the first writer's strike in 20 years. While we all took sides (the writers'…) it made for a very interesting Television season and had many people watching closely. Through all the turmoil, a few new shows debuted and made it through the other side (nearly) unscathed.

Oscars Preview – No Country vs. Blood

Martin Malloy February 23, 2008 No Comments

It’s February and you know what that means…..Awards season. So instead of just a “Who Will Win” list, which, besides its highly opinionated nature (much like the Oscars themselves) we’re going to take our chances at guessing this year's winners.

The Trolleyvox

Shane Handler February 14, 2008 No Comments

n today’s modern digital downloading/streaming age of MySpace, iTunes, and Amazon providing listeners snippets and downloads of single songs, the concept of an "album," for many, has lost its plot. Believe it or not, there are still a few artists who are present their art through the musical translation medium of an "album." Philadelphia’s Trolleyvox is one of those few

His Name Is Alive

Shane Handler January 15, 2008 No Comments

By the time you’re finished reading this, Warn Defever of His Name will have probably recorded a new album. The experimental rock band from Michigan have been around since 1990, landed on a handful of different labels (Silver Mountain Media, 4AD, Ryko, Sony, High Two, Kill Rock Stars, Warner Bros) and have released ten albums, including two in 2007 – Xmmer and High Two; the later is the band's tribute to free jazz saxophonist Marion Brown.

‘Let My Love Open the Door’ or How I Know When a Movie Is Nearly Over

Warren Miller December 26, 2007 No Comments

Pete Townshend is revered as one of rock’s greatest guitarists, songwriters, and showmen, noted for his signature windmill-style guitar strumming and smashing his instrument on stage. But however celebrated Pete and his band have become over the years, Mr. Townshend is responsible for writing and recording one of the most trite and overexposed songs in the history of pop music: “Let My Love Open the Door.”

Shane Handler December 11, 2007 No Comments

So it finally happened. The next most bewildering reunion aside from the ghosts of John and George jamming with Paul and Ringo, Led Zeppelin reunited and played a full two-hour show Monday night at the O2 Arena in London.

Through the Sparks

Shane Handler December 3, 2007 No Comments

With year end best of lists being cluttered with The National, Spoon and Bruce Springsteen, there is a band out of Birmingham, Alabama, Through the Sparks, whose Lazarus Beach certainly deserves some attention. Through the Sparks is a collaboration of long time friends that involve James Brangle and Jody Nelson, who began writing and recording with longtime friends and collaborators Nikolaus and Thomas Mimikakis and Greg Slamen in early 2004.

The Radishes

Shane Handler November 26, 2007 No Comments

The Radishes are a San Francisco/Los Angeles based band with an attacking sound that has been described as Nirvana meets Motorhead. Although musical comparisons are easy to come by, cocalist/guitiarst Paul Stinson likens it as White Stripes meets the Stooges meets NIN. Not too shabby. Toss in the Radishes fiery vocals and their ominous song-writing with loads of pop, punk and metal, and you have an act that could be headlining the big festival stages if they weren’t doing it the small “Do It Yourself” route, in part due to Stinson's self admitted "laziness."
