Led Zep — Best cover band ever?
October 12, 2009
We posted this previously over a year ago, but the link is now dead and it’s pretty darn entertaining stuff. If ya missed it the first time around, it seems this fella on Howard Stern’s show claims the mighty Zep stole much of their early catalogue from old bluesmen, Jake Holmes, Joan Baez, Spirit, Traffic, etc., etc. The evidence is pretty darn indisputable, but Page & Co. harnessed their energy and power to give these songs their own sound and flair. The power, mystery and the hammer of the gods, indeed.
moe. says “no” to give New Year’s a go for second year in a row.

The band is poised to take New Year’s Eve off again for the second year in a row. The band’s website states, “We are aware that there has been much rumor and speculation surrounding New Year’s Eve. We have decided to spend the holidays with our families and to gear up for our 20th anniversary year, so there will not be a New Year’s Eve moe. show this year. We hope to see you on Halloween and during the Fall tour!” So there you have it. Bummer, eh?

Funny Monday — Inspector Gadget

If you’re like me and grew up in the 80′s, Inspector Gadget always seemed to be on when I got home from school. Good to hear the old tune again, albeit more percussively.
