Happy Birthday — Trey Anastasio (9/30)
Ernest Guiseppe Anastasio III or The Bad Lieutenant or Big Red or just Trey turns 44 today. Besides being an amazing musician, Trey is a pretty good guy and we are once again so very eager to see what he does next, be it another solo venture or getting Phish back together. Whatever it is, Trey we wish you a very happy birthday and are thankful that you are happy, healthy and the creative juices are flowing.

Fleet Foxes — The Independent (LMB) & Article (DT)
Live Music Blog has the skinny on this recent show at The Independent. We at Musical Stew really dig this band. And a little more info offered up by Daytrotter:
Prepare to not know where you are. Prepare to be completely yanked out of the casing, borders and firmament of your bones and prints. You will find yourself naked in the middle of a barren woods, or with a light covering of bedclothes flapping in the frosty, kick of a wind, looking sideways and likeways in all directions, rubbing the sleepy fog from your eyes and wondering what had just happened – how you got between a peaceful night in and a twisted version of your own personal bit of fantastic, perplexed carnivalesque solemnity. You’ll not be frightened. Continue Reading…

Robert Plant — Zep with me ain’t happenin’
Robert Plant has issued the following statement on his website in regards to the remaining dates on his tour with Allison Krauss and the rumored Zep reunion:
After those dates (Krauss & Plant tour dates, editor), Robert has no intention whatsoever of touring with anyone for at least the next two years. Contrary to a spate of recent reports, Robert Plant will not be touring or recording with Led Zeppelin. Anyone buying tickets online to any such event will be buying bogus tickets.
“It‘s both frustrating and ridiculous for this story to continue to
rear its head when all the musicians that surround the story are keen to get on with their individual projects and move forward,” Robert Plant said.“I wish Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham nothing but success with any future projects,” he added.
We at Musical Stew sincerely hope that Zeppelin doesn’t tour with another singer, because it just wouldn’t be Zeppelin without Percy. And please don’t let them tour with David Coverdale.
Here’s Zeppelin playing “Kashmir” at the 2007 reunion:
