Move on, my friend; be glad that all hands have returned from the dark side and are smiling once again. I suppose you could say that Puterbaugh’s love for the band no doubt tempered his attack, but there’s not a whole lot left out that we need to know – and what’s here is a good read for those who love the band.

C'mon guys, at least Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent got their own Kiss persona. And gee, the cover art looks a little familiar too.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:53:15 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/55358/elliott-brood-mountain-meadows.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Mountain Meadows, you may think of pastoral fields growing high in the sky with peaceful ease, not so for this Canadian trio.  Elliott Brood has constructed an aggressive electric folk period piece that deliberates on, or at was least inspired by, the Mountain Meadow Massacre of 1857.  Things kick off hot and mean with the best track on the album “Fingers and Tongues”; guitars ring with confidence over a feedback drone and ghost-like backing vocals. ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:32:10 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/55357/mark-karan-walk-through-the-fire.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Walk Through The Fire nevertheless sounds like it was recorded in a single inspired yet relaxed moment of inspiration. The songs, the arrangements and the musicians are all in sync and the combination of Karan's self-production and Gavin Lurssen's mastering preserves the warmth as well as the clarity of the album's sound.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:17:27 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/free-music-downloads/1307/flaming-lips-watching-the-planets-youtube.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:08:31 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/55354/truckin-on-rob-koritz-on-dso-post-kadlecik.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:11:07 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/55353/the-gaslight-anthem-fist-in-the-air.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg The ’59 Sound, the Gaslight Anthem’s second LP has been making the rounds on every critic’s “Best of...” lists. It’s chugging, relentless, fist-in-the-air anthems even garnered the attention of Bruce Springsteen. The ’59 Sound has garnered heaps of comparisons to The Boss’s immortal sound, and he even graced them with his presence during their encore at Glastonbury this year.]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:39:54 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/free-music-downloads/1306/neil-young-dreamin-man-mov.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:25:08 UTC
