And not just with regards to the length of several of the songs that appear on this eleven-track collection bookended by the nine-and-a-half minute "Wakin on a Pretty Day" and the mesmerizing ten-plus minute comedown "Goldtone". What is more prevalent perhaps is the sense of ease by which the songs seem to just roll out of your headphones as Vile and his current primary Violators--multi-instrumentalists Jesse Trbovich and Rob Laakso--submerge the street cool of late-80s Lou Reed into that hazy psych-rock thing he's been doing since since his bedroom dubbing days, albeit less volatile from the sounds of such key tracks as "Was All Talk" and "Shame Chamber".]]> Fri, 24 May 2013 04:54:52 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59489/prince-ogden-theatre-denver-co-5-13-13.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Fri, 24 May 2013 04:49:16 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59488/the-darkness-lupos-heartbreak-hotel-providence-ri-5-13-13.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Fri, 24 May 2013 04:14:06 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59487/the-features-the-features.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Thu, 23 May 2013 02:29:57 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/giveaways.php?g=666?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Glide is proud to giveaway a deluxe addition of R.E.M's GREEN  ]]> Thu, 23 May 2013 02:17:23 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59485/the-joy-formidable-basking-days-arrive.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Wolf’s Law, in January to a string of positive reviews, played on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, charted just outside Billboard’s Top 50 albums and their lead single, “This Ladder is Ours,” has reached the top 25 on the U.S. Alternative charts. They have also just embarked on a North American tour which included a series of gigs at SXSW and will take them clear into the middle of May. And to think, to some degree this album’s early success owes a lot to a canceled gig.]]> Wed, 22 May 2013 06:36:34 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59484/chelsea-light-moving-chelsea-light-moving.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Wed, 22 May 2013 06:24:35 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59483/machine-gun-kelly-rocky-point-cantina-tempe-az-5-3-13.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Lace Up album. The performance seemed to rile the crowd to the point where a member of the audience climbed up on the rafters and was then promptly ejected by an overzealous security guard.  Kelly continued with “What I Do,” featuring Dub-O and Bun B, and held the somber energy throughout the entire song. With lyrics like, “This shit’s too real for ya’ll cause almost everybody rapping isn’t real at all. Sometimes I forget I got a deal cause’ I’m busy thinking about when I couldn’t get a meal at all,” he depicted the struggle he faced before his “come up.” ]]> Wed, 22 May 2013 06:14:53 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59482/patty-griffin-american-kid.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg American Kid, a record which explores life and death in a way that shows considerable candor and heartfelt honesty.]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 06:13:28 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59481/ray-manzarek-1939-2013-10-memorable-moments.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Ray Manzarek, who died on May 20th of complications from his battle with bile duct cancer in a Rosenheim, Germany hospital at age 74, has sent waves of shock and sorrow across four generations of rock fans who sought the rapture of electric wonder through his Vox Continental combo organ during his band's iconic nine-year run.  Here are ten videos Glide has unearthed on YouTube chronicling the many twists and turns in the career of this true genius and innovator.]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 07:05:26 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59480/boston-calling-city-hall-plaza-memorial-day-weekend.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Tue, 21 May 2013 05:56:58 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/galleries/1514/bassnectar-grady-cole-center-charlotte-nc-5913.html/utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Mon, 20 May 2013 10:10:02 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59478/ms-mr-secondhand-rapture.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Secondhand Rapture (out now on Columbia Records) features a rich, consistent and at times addicting sound that reveals the band’s tremendous potential across twelve tracks.]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 08:01:47 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59477/black-sabbaths-13-first-new-recording-by-original-members-ozzy-osbourne-tony-iommi-geezer-butter-in-over-30-years.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg 13 is a classic Sabbath album in every sense of the word. The recording features eight songs that come in at just under, sixty minutes, just like a record from the golden age of rock. The album features a blues drenched metal sound that is the closest sounding recording to the band’s first album, that the group has ever produced. Harkening back to the American black blues sounds of the fifties and sixties that influenced all of the top English rock bands (The Stones, Led Zeppelin) of their generation, there is even a bit of harmonica on one track. But make no mistake this is a heavy metal album in every sense of the word]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 02:33:52 UTC http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/59476/grateful-dead-dicks-picks-24-3-23-74-cow-palace-daly-city-ca-reissue.html?utm_source=feeds&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ntg Dick’s Picks #24, recorded March 1974 at the venerable Cow Palace, is testament to a high level of inspiration in the band’s playing, no doubt elevated even further as it takes place on the group's home turf in San Francisco. Even more notably, this concert represents the first use of the hallowed ‘Wall of Sound’ in its entirety.]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 01:44:06 UTC
