If there’s going to be a Led Zep reunion next June at Glastonbury, bassist John Paul Jones doesn’t know anything about it.|

I spent a good chunk of Friday afternoon with Them Crooked Vultures in their secret rehearsal bunker someplace in Los Angeles.  When the subject of how far TCV might go in 2010, I suggested that the only thing that could get in the way would be Robert Plant’s decision to play the 40th anniversary Glastonbury Festival next June.

Jones chucked.  “He’s not going to decide that.  I’ve only just heard.  Somebody asked me only yesterday and hadn’t heard [anything.]”

Josh Homme then interjected:  “So wait a minute.  Robert’s in control of all of lives?”  That’s when all three members—Homme, Jones and Dave Grohl—broke out laughing.

Grohl had the last word on the subject.  “Oh, sh*t, that’s funny.”

Here’s the actual interview clip.

5 Songs You Gotta Hear Today
  1. Jeff Martin

    The World is Calling

    Since the Tea Party disbanded in 2005, their former frontman has been working on a solo career, among other things. The lead single from his first and so far only solo studio album, 2006's Exile and the Kingdom, is reportedly an open letter to the Bush administration.

    Sounds like The Tea Party (you guessed it!), The Doors at their most worldly psychedelic
  2. Hello Beautiful

    Virginia Symphony

    This Whitby band blends punk, rock, and hip hop in a refreshingly unique and engaging way. Soundtrack For Scenario is out now, and keep an ear out for a new album in 2010.

    Sounds like 311, Billy Talent
  3. Think About Life

    Sweet Sixteen

    You might think about life while listening to this Montréal band, but you'll probably be too distracted having a good time.

    Sounds like SLAVE to the SQUAREwave, The Sounds crossed with a light-hearted MGMT
  4. The Rural Alberta Advantage

    Don't Haunt This Place

    Recently signed to Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst's record label, Saddle Creek ... catchy Toronto by way of Alberta indie rock ... incredible harmonies!

    Sounds like Ra Ra Riot, Death Cab For Cutie, Hayden
  5. Najuah

    I Don't Wanna Love U

    Toronto six-piece fronted by two sisters. Diverse influences, a rock & roll attitude, and some good grooves give them very broad appeal.

    Sounds like No Doubt stripped of their ska, some time before Gwen went bananas.
