Magazine – No Thyself
about 16 hours ago

Magazine – No Thyself (Wire-Sound Records) “I don’t give a fuck about you too,” deadpans Howard Devoto on “Final Analysis Waltz” from the first new Magazine album in something like forever. The reality is that no one retires a band after four records only to reprise it over three decades later. And I don’t care [...]

Who The Fuck Is Anyone?
about 23 hours ago

In the end, I guess we’re all just vapor. We dissipate and vanish over time. Some of us linger for a while, like a scent in old clothes, but ultimately we go away. Even the people and things we love the most. Even The Beatles. It was within a couple of hours of his win [...]

Dropping the Whitney Bomb
2 days ago

Let me start with the prerequisites: 1. It’s sad when people die 2. As music fans, we often attach personal feelings to people we’ve never met but who created something that touched us deeply 3. Whitney Houston was very talented and inspiring to a lot of people That said, I have to be honest: I [...]

You Know I’m A Dreamer: How The New Kia Commercial Makes Motley Crue Look Impotent
3 days ago

The other day at work, I took some time from my mundane duties to each lunch and get a bit of light Yahoo news. You have to be selective when it comes to your “non-business related” surfing time. For example, I clicked on a news link once that brought me to a website that was [...]

Glorious Noise is 11 years old today
10 days ago

One year ago for our tenth anniversary, we took a little break. A sabbatical. After six months with nary a peep, we quietly started publishing stuff again. And we’ve been posting stuff fairly regularly since then. The break was nice. It gave us time to migrate from MovableType to WordPress. We also switched hosts from [...]

My Vinyl Solution #0002: Asia – Astra
15 days ago

So the first thing you may notice if you read my last column post, is that regardless of what kind of writer I am, I clearly don’t have a grasp of the alphabet. Or more to the point, I’ve done a really crappy job of organizing my records. Now I could waste a bunch of time going through and making sure that my records are indeed, alphabetized. Or I could spend the time actually listening. Clearly t

Hear the first single from Jack White’s solo album
16 days ago

Stream: Jack White – “Love Interruption” Wurlitzer electric piano, acoustic guitar, then: I want love to roll me over slowly, stick a knife inside me, and twist it all around. I want love to grab my fingers gently, slam them in a doorway, put my face into the ground. And that’s how Jack White introduces [...]

New Wilco video starring Popeye
20 days ago

Video: Wilco – “Dawned On Me” I usually hate animated videos but this one was pretty fun. It’s apparently “the first hand-drawn Popeye cartoon in more than 30 years.” Which is odd, because who knew that there have been any Popeye cartoons made in the past 30 years? Even if you’re not impressed by the [...]

Kate Bush – 50 Words For Snow
21 days ago

Until recently, we’ve had a mild winter in the Midwest. There’s been very few days where temperatures fell below freezing and it was the first time in years when there wasn’t snow on the ground during Christmas. It was a challenge not to buy Kate Bush’s new album 50 Words For Snow when it was [...]

My Vinyl Solution #0001: Average White Band
22 days ago

Launching a new column is somewhat daunting, as there’s usually a lot to explain. But an editor of mine once told me to just dispense with the disclaimers and jump right in. The readers will figure it out, he felt. And besides, plotting out all the thinking that went into the thing is somewhat presumptuous [...]

Video: Butch Walker And The Black Widows – “Synthesizers” “To commemorate the 20 year anniversary of the filming and inception of [Dazed and Confused],” Butch Walker says, “we brought a little someone from the film back to be the life of the party for our new video for the song ‘Synthesizers.’ The song lyrics really [...]

President Barack Obama: Soul Man
26 days ago

Let’s put politics aside for a moment and just appreciate that this guy is smooth. Years after Clinton squawking away on a sax and eight arduous years of Bush trying to dance (or whatever that is), we finally have a President with at least a hint of musical acumen. Making the rounds this week is [...]

Watch Howlin’ Wolf get heckled by, berate Son House
28 days ago

Video: Howlin’ Wolf Defines the Blues, “Meet Me In The Bottom” This is something else! Wolf is patiently trying to explain what the Blues really are, while he’s repeatedly heckled (off-mic, unfortunately) by an apparently loaded Son House. After not too long Wolf has had enough and rips into House. “You had a chance with [...]

Download the new Cold War Kids single: Minimum Day
28 days ago

MP3: Cold War Kids – “Minimum Day” I’ve held a bit of an irrational grudge against the Cold War Kids since 2007 when we ran an interview with them by a new GLONO contributor whose writing read like P.R. copy. We tried to encourage him to put a little more personality in his stuff and [...]

Horns, Hair and Hot Plates: On Tour With Avalanche, 1974
29 days ago

Even though I’ve spent my fair share of time in packed vans and cars driving to shows through snow and ice and overheated engines and speed-traps…I still love to read about other people’s experiences on the road. Throw in a healthy dose of frizzy hair and bell-bottoms and I’m hooked. I stumbled across this gem [...]

Paul Weller Welcomes Twins, Names Them After Fave Musicians
30 days ago

When I was a kid—and I mean, when I was eight or nine years old—I told anyone who would listen that if I ever had kids I would name them after The Beatles. And I meant all of The Beatles, even Ringo. But I was a kid and what did I know? I grew up [...]

Watch a new video starring Liz Phair
30 days ago

Sancho from Martin Starr This is a mildly amusing song about a guy who suspects that his wife (played in the video by Liz Phair) is getting some service from a non-authorized dealer. The punchline is silly, but Liz looks great throughout. Will Forte steals the show, of course.

Massive Historical Musical Stash Hidden in Michigan
30 days ago

As someone who loves old stuff, especially old musical instruments, this is hard to read: A massive cache of musical treasures that’s grown to include a fragile harp-piano, the pioneering Moog synthesizer and the theremin used for “The Green Hornet” radio show has been shuffled over the years from a theater to an unheated barn [...]

How about that new Doors song?
about 1 month ago

Stream: The Doors – “She Smells So Nice” Seems crazy that they’re still digging up new Doors material, but apparently producer Bruce Botnick discovered this one while preparing the session tapes for L.A. Woman, which is once again being reissued on January 24. Curious that it didn’t turn up when they released the 40th Anniversary [...]
