Led Zeppelin Schedules A Comeback Gig in London
So I got my wish. In a previous story I wrote regarding the rumours of a Led Zeppelin reunion tour I hoped that the band would opt for the tribute gig only and not the full on tour so that the legend would remain intact. I didn’t want to see another damned reunion gig of a legendary band going for the big cash grab and going nothing but damaging what was special once before. Hooray for them.
 The website selling tickets online for the gig crashed yesterday as reportedly 25 million fans attempted to buy tickets online. I’m sure when it’s over something from it will end up on YouTube. Always does, doesn’t it?
The gig, on Monday 26 November, is in honour of Ahmet Ertegun, who died last year aged 63. He founded Atlantic records in case you didn’t know.
As rumoured the gig will feature the surviving members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones with Jason Bonham filling in on drums for his late father.

The RIAA Loves You and Will Prove it with Ringles!
If your response to the title of this was “what?”, followed by a puzzled look then I agree!
The Ringle is the RIAA’s new plan to fix their evergrowing money issues. Do you remember buying CD singles? You get the song/single, a couple of remixes, and maybe a secret song if they were generous. Well now, they will package the CD with a code to download a ringtone of the song you just bought and call it a “Ringle”. That’s all it is, a CD single plus a ringtone code. Oh , and it will cost $6-7.
What I wonder is this: If I am already going to go online to redeem the code for the ringtone, why not just sell me all this online - you know - like a digital single with the remixes and stuff. No one listens to CD singles in their car, they are going to go home and rip the CD to get the MP3s, if they even buy it at all! Duh!
Interestingly, there are plenty of free software packages to turn MP3s into ringtones which makes this idea even more retarded. The problem? None of the software really works for ITunes songs or for the Ipod. They think its way cooler to charge you an extra dollar to turn that song you legally bought into a ringtone. You can read more about that right here: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/005429.php
So…back to what I was going to ask before… Would you buy a Ringle?
