At least two of the songs in your mix are indeed about Lord of the Rings.

“Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D” (”Year Zero Remixed”). Th4t’$ pr3tty t3h l4m3, Tr3nt.

Maybe, but “Year Zero” was — I am unashamed to admit — amazing, even to an underground electro-industrial snob like me. A lot of Trent’s remixes are hit and miss, but if he continues in the same direction (more power electronics, less rock guitars, etc.) as the original mix, it’s gonna be good stuff. But the album title… blech.

What did you give us other than Jim Jarmusch?

The inspiration for “Burn On” by Randy Newman.

There’s a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There’s a red moon rising
ON the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There’s an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There’s an oil barge winding
Down the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

Cleveland city of light city of magic***
Cleveland city of light you’re calling me
Cleveland, even now I can remember
‘Cause the Cuyahoga River
Goes smokin’ through my dreams

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on
Now the Lord can make you tumble
And the Lord can make you turn
And the Lord can make you overflow
But the Lord can’t make you burn

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on

***Still cracks me up and the music swells perfectly.

Dhalgren, it’s a game played by mercenaries who care little to nothing about their city or region. Or you. You seem to be taking it a bit seriously.

Right, you wouldn’t want any overlong epics on a Zeplin Collection. That’s why you included Stairway.

Give me Queen any day.

You awakened the slumbering giant. The Red Sox fucked you with no vasoline. And it was good. Harder and bloodier than Republican gay sex. You Ohioans know a thing or two about that, right.

Violent rape analogies are awesome.

Um – “Nobody’s Fault But Mine” belongs on there.

I’m with HTML Mencken – Presence and In Through the Out Door are what I go for when I wanna listen to some Zep.

I just want to remind Cleveland fans that they were given thousands of free towels to wipe-away their tears.

Seriously…..fuck you, Cleveland.

“Oh, but we’re a blue city! We’re not like the rednecks in Canton and Cincinatti,” you exclaim.

Whatever.

Fuck you.

Wow, a Led Zeppelin thread, and I missed it. They were my favorite band in high school, but then I got to college (1977) and slowly sold my soul to the Ramones. And the Grateful Dead. Go figure.

What’s wrong with Lord of the Rings songs? I always thought “The Battle of Evermore” was a good one.

Back when LZII came out, a friend of mine had just seen them live and had just bought the album. We went from party to party all weekend, with D. carrying the album under his arm and playing it whenever he could. On Monday, he took it back to the store because it was warped so badly (from him carrying it under his arm). That’s still my favorite Zeppelin, but, on Monday, new Ween!

A coworker just brought in the complete studio recordings of Zep box set. I hadn’t listed to them much in 20 years. They do, indeed rock, and Bonzo is the man. Oh, and fuck the overpaid Sox. Go Tribe!

seems to think that “Hey Hey, What Can I Do?” does not belong in the band’s official canon, despite being one of their best-evar songs

Thank you.

Matt T.

“Too bluesy”? Christ, I simply cannot wrap my mind around that concept, especially those four pasty plagarists. Good lord, don’t ever listen to the original artists Zep ripped slap off, you might blow up. There’s no such thing as “too much blues”.

Indeed.

Britney Spears’ latest album is called “Blackout.” To my dismay, its cover does not feature her passed out on the couch holding a half-eaten bucket of KFC wings.

Why do I keep picturing Britney as the almost-live-action alter-ego of Toot Braunstein?

ITEM: Trent Reznor is releasing a Nine Inch Nails album called “Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D” (”Year Zero Remixed”). Th4t’$ pr3tty t3h l4m3, Tr3nt.

Hopefully Trent has learned that being “angst-ridden and sex-starved” isn’t really that convincing from a multi-millionaire.
