Almost 25 years later, Check Your Head remains one of my favorite records. How could it not be, with songs like “Gratitude” on it? “Gratitude” stands alone as a song, but the video makes it even better. It’s an homage to Pink Floyd’s recording at Pompeii. The Beasties Boys didn’t play at Pompeii, I don’t […]

Jonathan Wilson – Dear Friend (music video)
posted by Mike Vasquez
Jonathan Wilson released his new album Fanfare on October 15, 2013. I loved his first record, but didn’t know about this one until my buddy told me about it. Based on my first few (somewhat distracted) listens, it’s a great record. As my buddy said, he wears his influences on his sleeve, and that’s one […]

posted by Mike Vasquez
It’s a sad thing to contemplate, but it is an unavoidable truth: Pink Floyd will never play together again. Seven years ago today, the classic Pink Floyd quartet – David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason – played together one last time. It was the first time they played together in 24 years. […]

In other good news, we’ve resurrected the Five From the Archives series over at Glorious Noise. In the second run in the series since the hiatus, I pulled together a bunch of audience recordings of Greensky Bluegrass doing some great covers. Bruce Springsteen, Journey, Talking Heads, Bill Withers, and Pink Floyd all get a nod. You […]
