The Rumour Persists

There seems to be truth to the rumour that Joshua Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones are working and recording together. The website antiquiet is reporting that the rumours are true, and that we should be excited.

According to Homme's wife, Brody Dalle of Spinnerette:

[the project] is pretty fucking amazing. Just beats and sounds like you’ve never heard before.

Hopefully we'll all soon get to be the judge of that, as Jones is quoted as saying in April he was working on some new music and "we hope to be everywhere by summer."

Hey JPJ - it's summer and we are waiting.

Is John Paul Jones in the Studio?

The blog Plastic Pizza Party is reporting that:

Joshua Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones have been holed up in a Los Angeles recording studio working on a new record. The new band name and record release date are currently TBA … keep your ears peeled kiddos

Obviously I can't verify this report, but an old interview in Mojo of Dave Grohl, that seems to be from around 2005-2006, reports the same thing:

The next project that I'm [Grohl] trying to initiate involves me on drums, Josh Homme on guitar, and John Paul Jones playing bass. That's the next album. That wouldn't suck.

So the question:, is this finally happening, or just a re-hash of old information?

More Zeppelin to Come

The Telegraph Newspaper is reporting that in an after show interview Saturday, Jimmy Page appeared to confirmed Led Zeppelin is ready to go with more shows:

Late 2009 for more Zeppelin! With rumours that the three J's, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham, have been putting in some studio time, late 2009 would give time to get some support material released.
