Although they never really officially broke up its always good to see a band completely reforming with all original members intact. Those of you who are tutting their heads right now are thinking back at the dirge that was Country House and clearly aren't familiar with all the top notch stuff that they brought out under the radar, particularly in their last three albums which proved once and for all that they beat the shit out of Oasis as far as properly musically diverse bands go, despite Damon Albarn being a bit of a cock too.

So far only one large Hyde Park show has been announced but hopefully they'll drag their asses over here or even to Glasto. The last time they played here was the Olympia in December 2003 which was a fairly small scale show for a band like Blur. I can see a likely headlining show at Oxegen for one.

Some of the worst news has been announced, that Led Zeppelin are going to go ahead and tour and possibly record without Robert Plant. Now while I think Robert Plant is a giant cock for being such a stick in the mud by giving the legions of people who loved and still love Zep just what they want, its still even more disgraceful that they might try and replace him.

Although Robert Plant wasn't quite the cog that kept the Led Zeppelin wheel turning (it's not like replacing Kurt Cobain in Nirvana or anything like that), it's still a mighty stigma to do something such as this. Especially if they're still going to go under the Zeppelin moniker.

The only possible reason I can think of for doing this is that they're trying to call Plant's bluff and trick him into agreeing. I'm not holding my breath however and I'm certainly not going to bother my hole splashing out for a ticket or even entertain the notion of travelling to see them as I was thinking of if it was a proper (ish, no Bonham obviously) reunion.

Hopefull the auditions for Plant's replacement will consist of fan after fan entering the room only to scream "Stop being cunts, you cunts" at Page and Jones
