Tuesday You’re a Loser for Not Being at the Led Zeppelin Show Music News Day

Thermometer Test

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

Yes, okay, jeez, fine, Led Zeppelin played a show last night and apparently it was okay. Or, alternately, “glorious” (NY Times), “a joy and a privilege” (UK Telegraph), and a “triumph” (Billboard). God, everybody, if you like them so much why don’t you marry them.

The transition to digital sales hasn’t given people better taste: iTunes has announced the top-selling single and album on the music download site this year were from Fergie and Maroon 5, respectively. The rest of the top five albums? Amy Winehouse, Kanye West, Daugtry and Colbie Caillat. Fine, fine, holy, crap.

Wilco will one-up the recent trend of playing entire classic albums live by attempting to perform “the complete Wilco” over the course of five February nights at the Riviera Theater in Chicago. Frontman Jeff Tweedy promises they’ll “clear out the dusty corners of the catalog.” That’s a lotta Wilco.

Erykah Badu will release her first set of new material in four years this coming February 26th with a double album called Nu AmErykah. The singer told SOHH.com that the work was inspired by producers like J Dilla, Madlib, Sa-Ra, and 9th Wonder. Okay, maybe I’ll forgive that weird title.
