Following an incredible 2013 which saw Paul’s universally acclaimed ‘Out There’ tour launch in Brazil and visit 23 cities across South America, Europe, North America and Japan, today Paul confirms he’ll be getting back out there in the U.S. by announcing his first Stateside dates of 2014. In addition to his dates this month in […]

This season opener is primarily exposition — a necessary reintroduction to a rather large cast of characters and a bit of catching up. There are a lot of subtle moments of brilliance (especially the opening and closing sequences), but mostly what we got is a solid precursor to whatever is planned for the rest of the season — which is exactly what we needed.

Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly Presents and Starr Hill presents, in a partnership with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, have announced thenew lineup for the seventh annual Outside Lands Festival. The headliners for 2014 are Kanye West, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Killers, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and Arctic Monkeys. The festival will […]

[rating=6.00] John Frusciante comes full circle with Enclosure, completing what he calls a “musical statement” that began four years and several experimental recordings ago. Now half a decade removed from Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band he quit in 2008, Frusciante has exorcised the abstract-electronica monster he struggled to free upon his own liberation. He […]

[rating=6.00] Trafficking in gnarled punk, energetic rock squalor, and frenetic aggression, Cloud Nothings make a lot of aggressive noise and certainly leave a mark on the senses. With throttled determination, their music throws itself at the listener, demanding not just attention, but your complete involvement and focus. Equally suitable to soundtrack your workout as it […]

It’s the early 1970’s and Joe Elliott is a kid in Sheffield listening to some music when he discovers Mott The Hoople, that quirky yet rocking band featuring a curly-haired dynamo named Ian Hunter. And it literally changes his life. Move ahead to 2009 and Elliott, now a famous frontman himself for the British band […]

You got to be kidding yourself if you even think for a minute the McDowell Mountain Music Festival carries the prestige of a Coachella, Bonnaroo or even a Northwest String Summit.  But those titles matter to nobody, since that’s obviously not the goal with this annual Phoenix area music festival put together by the good […]

[rating=7.00] With Band of Outsiders, Mike Dillon made an album in a manner most befitting his maniacal quartet: all four members in one room, playing live, with a straightforward production approach. It’s hard to imagine that their barely contained maelstrom of funk, punk, jazz, and high-minded composition could have been captured any other way. To […]

Three Glide writers debate the merits of ‘How I Met Your Mother”s controversial finale.

This week’s episode continues the ‘Community’ tradition of the animated parody episode. Jeff’s mind has created a world inspired by the classic G.I. Joe cartoons. It’s one of the more fun episodes this season has offered

The first show of Black Sabbath’s 2014 world tour went down in Brooklyn at The Barclay’s Center, filled on this night with hordes of black shirted, black jeaned metal fans of all ages. The group opened with the classic “War Pigs” as Ozzy Osbourne ran back and forth across the stage letting the crowd know […]

Bobby Womack is a genuine enigma. A constant and integral part of the American musical soundscape since before the “British Invasion,” Mr. Womack has been praised for his musical gift, yet vilified and ostracized for marrying his mentor’s widow.  Recently his canon has been reinvented and he is enjoying a fruitful career resurgence. Born dirt-poor […]

First thing in the morning, Jack White will take the stage in Third Man’s blue room and record direct-to-acetate what will serve as the limited edition version of his next […]

The Firefly Music Festival, “the East Coast’s premier live music experience”, is returning to The Woodlands at Dover Downs International Speedway in Dover, Delaware for the third year. Red Frog Events expanded the festival to four days, increased the venue space, and most significantly, added more artists. Big name headliners, critically acclaimed artists and emerging […]

‘Nymphomaniac Volume 1,’ one-half of a four-hour X-rated opus, finds Lars Von Trier up to his old tricks.

Alan Paul creates the chronological narrative of One Way Out: The Inside History of The Allman Brothers Band by interweaving excerpts of interviews with band members, family and friends, business partners and acquaintances, with much the same intricacy the band itself improvises. In doing so, he, more often than not, illuminates familiar topics and uncovers […]
