Lost Classic: The Verve – A Storm In Heaven. By Todd Totale The Verve: A Storm In Heaven (6/21/1993) Since so much of the Verve's identity is centered on their third and most successful album, Urban Hymns, it’s hard to think about the band before their commercial breakthrough. Most American listeners came to their earlier work through a path that had them combing titles in reverse, discovering A Storm In Heaven as a past-tense event.... #JohnLeckie #LostClassics… https://gloriousnois...

Runt Work. By Stephen Macaulay In a recent interview appearing in Vulture, Todd Rundgren, when asked by interlocutor Devon Ivie, “Where does the discipline come from to keep working when many of your contemporaries are choosing to stop?” Rundgren replied, in part, “Well, the IRS is a factor. They never go away. They’ve been my lifelong partners.... #Detroit #economics #LiveMusic #taxes #ToddRundgren #music #blog https://gloriousnoise.com/2026/runt-work

The Lowest-Selling Number One Album Billboard is a music industry trade publication so it doesn't love reporting bad news. But this week's number one album on the Billboard 200 chart, Ella Langley’s Dandelion, only "earned" 67,000 "units" in the week ending September 10, which "is the smallest for a No. 1 album in more than a year, since SZA’s SOS returned to No. 1 for a 13th nonconsecutive week on the May 3, 2025, chart with 52,000 u...

Threefer Thursday: Grooving With The Neville Brothers. By Mike V I’ve been meaning to do a Threefer Thursday post on The Neville Brothers since we started the series in January. It’s October 1st now, and the time feels right to celebrate their New Orleans R&B funk and soul music. We’re facing Fall weather here, so it’s cooling down, and I need something to keep my mind warm and musically nimble. The Neville Brothers fit the bill.... #NevilleBrothers #ThreeferThursday… https://glorious...

Sounds Old. By Stephen Macaulay Recently, Ringo got quite a bit of coverage because (1) he’s Ringo and (2) he’s old.

My Vinyl Solution: Round Six The idea of listening to the stuff you already have in order to temper the desire to acquire more more more stuff is good in theory. Consumerism is bad, right? Most of us already have access to more music than we could possibly listen to in a lifetime. Streaming is convenient and allows us to sample almost anything we ever hear about.... #MyVinylSolution #vinyl #music #blog https://gloriousnoise.com/2026/my-vinyl-solution-round-six

Threefer Thursday: Some Choice Lennon Covers. By Mike V Tomorrow would be John Lennon’s 86th birthday, if he wasn’t taken from the world by that son of a bitch in 1980. RIP John.

Playlist: The Piranha Tape Jerry's brother had a piranha. He was older, in high school already. I remember him being tall and tan and looking effortlessly cool wearing his football jersey and faded jeans. He ignored us completely. Didn't even care enough to make fun of us. We were ten-year-old babies.... #mixtapes #playlists #music #blog https://gloriousnoise.com/2026/playlist-the-piranha-tape

Why That Ticket May Be Surprisingly Expensive. By Stephen Macaulay Recently—as you may know from personal experience—pay increases are not keeping up with the price of things you need to buy. At least that’s the case for many of us. Probably not Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino, who recently signed a contract extension with the types of numbers that are rather, well, extraordinary.... #lawsuits #LiveNation #Ticketmaster #music #blog https://gloriousnoise.com/2026/why-that-ticket-may-be-surpris...

Threefer Thursday: Beck in Detroit. By Mike V Beck played in Detroit at the Fox Theatre on Monday night (October 12). I wasn’t planning to go, but about a week ago I ended up with a ticket in hand, and I’m so glad I went. It was a super fun show, a mix of classic Beck and stuff from the new album, Ride Lonesome. I managed to capture a few songs on ye olde iPhone, and I’m sharing three of my favorites with you today.... #Beck #Detroit #ThreeferThursday #music #blog https://gloriousnoise.com/20...

Threefer Thursday: Mike D in Detroit. By Mike V Another week, another show, folks. This past weekend it was Mike D at the Masonic Jack White Theatre in Detroit, MI.

Hi kids. Today the word of the day is "fuckthatshit". Let's use it in a sentence... Bob tells Mary that she needs to do a better job. Marry already knows she's doing it right but instead of arguing with stupid Bob, she looks him dead in the eyes and says "Fuckthatshit Bob. I quit." Be smart like Mary!
