Ultimate Led Zeppelin

I first discovered Licorice Pizza when it had an post about a beatles bootleg called “Toot and a Snore in ’74“, a recording of post-beatles Paul and John meeting up with other musicians for a couple songs.  It only lasted a couple songs because John was so coke-ed out; in the first track you hear him offer some to Stevie Wonder.

Now it has started making a set of 12 cds of Led Zeppelin that looks worth downloading or even buying.  It is them rehearsing the songs, outtakes that they didn’t use, and demos.  Check, cha check, cha check it out.

Lollapalooza

There were two reasons that made me hesitate coming to South Africa.  Batman was one, but it came out here a week after the US release, so that was not that bad.  The second was Lollapalooza.  Two days ago I was talking to someone from Houston about how much fun the festival was and how we were both missing what seems to be a great time this year.  Then I realized that I was on a day-long wine tour in South Africa and I knew I couldn’t complain about the choice I made.  Anyways, for those back in chicago, Stereogum has a good set of MP3’s from the bands playing there.  Every other music blog should have pictures and posts about Lolla too though.

Pixar Movie & Candy Quiz

Alright I did decently good at this quiz but I challenge anyone to beat my 8 right 6 wrong score.

And here’s another quiz about identifying candy bars, the fat kid in my got 13 out of 20. (I predict Joan being much more of a fat kid will get a higher score.)
