MANAGER CONFIRMS: LED ZEPPELIN = OVER

way to kill our hopes, arsehole.

"Led Zeppelin are over," he said. "If you didn't see them in 2007 [at the London O2 Arena], you missed them. It's done. I can't be any clearer than that."

He added: "They tried out a few singers (to replace Plant), but no one worked out. That was it. The whole thing is completely over now. There are absolutely no plans for them to continue. Zero."

Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet [mp3]

The Smiths - I Know it's Over [mp3]

OK Go - Get Over it [mp3]

The Queen of England loooves her some Zeppelin

Robert Plant is now a member of the Order of the British Empire.

now, as an ignorant American, I don't know exactly what this entails, but I'm sure it's like, Rock n Roll Hall of fame status, but for British achievements.

regardless, I love me some Zeppelin.

NEW STROKES SONG AVAILABLE ON NME.COM!

well it's just Julian Casablancas who has teamed up with Santogold and N.E.R.D (Pharrell Williams' band) for a song for Converse, but it sounds good for a shoe commerical

It's called "My Drive Thru", listen to it HERE

Pharrell may or may not produce the Strokes' 4th record. he did a great job with The Hives' Black and White album.

it vaguely reminds me of Spoon's Don't You Evah. I really like it, it's quite dancable (they do say "wanna dance" seven hundred times, after all) and Jules' vocals are, of course, ace.

the new AC/DC record is going to be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart. I am in utter shock at this despicable move by a band which I previously considered above such stupidity. read Spin's story here.
