Whatever you may think of Zep, this new biography of their notorious manager should be fascinating.

Some of these are hilarious.  Great parody of “jazz dance” beginning at 12:40.

This album had a few more good ones.  Don’t know what became of these guys.  Apparently they made this album, toured, then parted ways.  Nothing like touring to turn people against each other.

You never hear Alice Cooper mentioned as a power pop pioneer, but this song from ’73 checks all the boxes.  AC has said that they were copying Substitute by The Who, and you can certainly hear that in the guitar intro.  More interesting (to me, anyway) is that the the beginning of the verses are very close to the verses of Let’s Spend the Night Together by the Rolling Stones.  Creative theft at its best.

Nice article on Elvis Costello and his current health over at the Beast.

Most surprising item: His mother is still alive!
