Led Zeppelin — Did They Or Didn’t They?
As much as we have loved Led Zeppelin through the years, this is pretty much indisputable evidence that Led Zeppelin plagiarised much of their early work. Don’t get us wrong, we aren’t calling this a Milli Vanilli situation, but it wasn’t like a completely generic thought popped into Jimmy Page’s head and voila here’s “Dazed And Confused”. Recorded from the Howard Stern show in June 2007. This is very interesting and fascinating stuff if you haven’t heard it before. Stream

Phish — 21 Years Ago Today
Okay Doc Brown, let’s hop into the DeLorean and floor it. Set the controls for 1987 and hit 88, pronto! We’ll head to Hebron, NY and stop by for the afternoon at Ian McLean’s farm and catch some pre-Junta Phish. Bring some treats for Marley, okay? Sounds fun, no?

Hunter S. Thompson — Is There A Doctor In The House?
From Rolling Stone:
The Gonzo Tapes, a five-disc set of unreleased recordings by Rolling Stone’s own Hunter S. Thompson, will be released on October 28th. Compiled while filmmakers were producing Gonzo: The Life And Work Of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the audio on The Gonzo Tapes was recorded between 1965 and 1975, with Thompson using the tapes to capture his thoughts and descriptions of what was happening around him or to look back at what he experienced. Thompson’s widow granted permission to director Alex Gibney, producer Eva Orner and archivist Don Fleming to go through the tapes that were stored in boxes in the basement of Thompson’s Woody Creek, Colorado home. Disc 1 on the collection will feature Thompson’s year riding with the Hell’s Angels, Discs 2 and 3 both draw from his novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Disc 4 covers Thompson’s exploits between 1973 and 1974 and the fifth disc features his 1975 trip to Saigon. The cover features original artwork by Ralph Steadman and the package will contain essays by Gibney and Thompson’s fellow foreign correspondent Loren Jenkins.
