What Is And What Should Never Be

I caught Get the Led Out in the car on Tuesday night, and there's nothing really new to report there. What I'd hoped to hear was Monday night's, since I tuned in earlier and heard some fill-in jock who I'd never heard before. He didn't impress me, but since it was a holiday maybe the suits weren't listening and he got to fuck some shit up. But since it was a holiday, I took that time to head to my neighborhood tavern and fuck some shit up.

My beef again with Tuesday was that they only played the usual three Zeppelin songs. It was fucking Twofer Tuesday! I'd accept four tunes, but in reality it should be six on Tuesday. Oh well...

Here's the real kicker though. The Loop finally took Zander off their features page. Maybe it's because he started on The Zone this weekend... as if that joke station is a threat. I'm reluctant to declare that anyone from WLUP has seen my blog, but who knows?

Get the Led Out
The LOOP pays homage to one of the biggest and most influential rock bands to ever exist, weeknights at 8. Seaver salutes Led Zeppelin's timeless sound with a 3-fer of "Led for the Head", including requests from you and deep cuts from Plant, Page, Jones, and Bonham.

OK... what in the fuck does "Led for the Head" mean? That's not clever! I Get the Led Out now, and in my youth in a different town I tuned into Whole Lotta Led... but "Led for the Head"? That doesn't even make sense. Led is not for the head. Led is for the groin. Led appeals to the most basic of instincts. C'mon... anyone who's seen The Song Remains the Same knows what Plant is packing down there. I remember renting that back in high school (it's a rite of passage for angry and sexually frustrated young men), and my mom walks through the room... stops... and says "Oh Robert" during one of those upward crotch shots. My mom wasn't really into Zeppelin in her day, but even she recognized the power of Plant's pants.

And they opened it up to "deep cuts from Plant, Page, Jones, and Bonham"? I guess that excuses Seaver for playing shitty Plant solo tracks. But as I stated before... if you're going to play that shit, you better find the shittiest shit that Page, Jones, and Bonham did on the side. How can you fucking salute Zeppelin's timeless sound if you include non-Zeppelin stuff? You suck, WLUP.
