Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV
*******************************
On 8th Nov 1971, Led Zeppelin released their fourth album. With no title printed on the album, and generally referred to as Four Symbols, The Fourth Album or Led Zeppelin IV, it has gone on to sell over 37 million copies worldwide. The 19th-century rustic oil painting on the front of the album was purchased by Robert Plant from an antique shop in Reading, Berkshire, England. The 20th-century urban tower block on the back of the full gatefold LP cover is Butterfield Court in Eves Hill, Dudley, England.
No title is printed on the album, because the band deliberately wanted it to be untitled, going as far as identifying themselves with four specially-chosen symbols. Even so, it is generally referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, following the naming standard used by the band’s first three studio albums, the symbols themselves having no verbal or written equivalent.
In October 1970 Jimmy Page and Robert Plant returned to Bron-Yr-Aur, the Welsh cottage where they had composed much of Led Zeppelin III and developed new song ideas. ‘Led Zeppelin III’ had been released in early October 1970, but only two months later they started work on its follow-up at Island Studios, Notting Hill, London.
Then in January 1971 Zeppelin decided to get out of town, back to the space where they could all contribute with the clock ticking a bit more slowly. For the previous album, they had begun working at Headley Grange in Headley, Hampshire, UK. An 18th-century former workhouse, the large house was popular with rock bands such as Humble Pie and Fleetwood Mac for rehearsal and routining tracks prior to recording, mainly because it was far enough from neighbours to avoid noise complaints. Zeppelin repeated the technique of recording there with the Rolling Stones mobile studio, continuing their working relationship with engineer Andy Johns.
Ian ‘Stu’ Stewart was a founder member of the Rolling Stones and managed their mobile studio, so he was on hand to help out, most notably on piano for ‘Rock And Roll’, the Headley Grange sessions yielding 6 out of the album’s 8 tracks. Perhaps surprisingly, the most classic and evocative track ‘Stairway To Heaven’, wasn’t recorded at Headley Grange, although the lyrics were conceived there. Jimmy Page had worked on the structure of the song with John Paul Jones, and based on that Robert Plant came up with most of the lyrics in a burst of inspiration, apparently on the spur of the moment, around the fire at Headley Grange. The band then recorded the final version at Island after they returned to London.
One track that certainly was recorded at Headley Grange was the much-sampled ‘When The Levee Breaks’, John Bonham’s overpowering drum sound captured with just two microphones in the hallway of the house. The album was first mixed at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles but only one of those mixes (‘When The Levee Breaks’) made it to the final version, the rest being remixed at London’s Olympic Studios.
As with the intention for the album to remain untitled, no lettering was included anywhere on the original LP sleeve, not even the catalogue number. This was an intentional move on the part of Zeppelin to be judged solely on their music, and, since the album continues to be hugely successful and influential, they probably were.
The 19th-century rustic oil painting on the front of the album was purchased by Robert Plant from an antique shop in Reading in Berkshire, then hung on the wall of a house in Eves Hill, Dudley, in the English Midlands, and photographed there. The original front cover showed only the painting of the old man with the bundle of sticks; only when the gatefold was opened out would the viewer see the more modern tower blocks beyond. In January 2010 the cover for Led Zeppelin’s fourth album was among the ten chosen by Britain’s Royal Mail for a set of ‘Classic Album Cover’ postage stamps.
The inside illustration was entitled ‘The Hermit’, reminiscent of the Tarot card of the same name, and credited to Barrington Colby MOM, although apparently this is a misprint and the artist’s surname is actually Coleby. Jimmy Page arranged the printing of the lyrics to ‘Stairway to Heaven’ on the inner bag. He came across the typeface in the 19th Century art magazine ‘Studio’ and had an alphabet created from it, in which the ‘Stairway To Heaven’ lyrics were reprinted. The album has alternatively been referred to as Four Symbols, Untitled, Runes, Sticks, ZoSo and The Hermit.

“Everyone is born with a light inside of them. In our early years, it is switched off because we are unaware that it exists, but it turns on once we recognize and awaken to it.
Many people marvel at other people's lights, not realizing the light that exists within themselves and that the purpose of other people shining their light was never to distract them from discovering their own light but to remind them of the light that has always existed within them. This light may be found and switched on at any point in time; it is simply a matter of them awakening to their own worthiness, beauty and magnificence.
And so may you let the light you see in others inspire you to find the light within, for though you may admire the light that exists in others, and their unique expression of it, it is the same light that exists within all.”

Well, this Lil Señorita stumbled through my door
Then she was gone just the same, and I've got to learn more
When I made my rounds, she was looking my way
Would take a fool to try to get in my way
Light it up
Yeah, light it up
Light it up
Yeah, light it up
The choice is yours, you can go, or you can stay
You can play your guitar, you can put it away
You can turn it up, you can turn it down
'Cause this could shake your world, turn it right upside down
Light it up
Yeah, light it up
Light it up
Yeah, light it up
Light it up right here, right now on this floor
Lift up your voice and let me hear you roar
Hold your head up high, don't forget to breathe
Somewhere somehow angels see your need
If you take this for granted, then all you'll feel is pain
If you take this to heart, then you'll fly free again
Open your eyes to possibilities
And the shackles that bind melt away, you'll fly free
Every time you feel all alone
Just call on me, lead you through the unknown
There's a time to live and time to die
So here and now, spread your wings and fly
Light it up
Yeah, light it up
Light it up
Yeah, light it up

Most religions adopt the idea of a “saviour” and state that the world will be filled with evil until a Saviour comes and fills it with goodness and righteousness.
Maybe our problem on this planet is that people expect someone else to come and solve their problems instead of solving them themselves!

The Castle of Coca, located in the municipality of Coca in central Spain, stands as a prime example of 15th-century Spanish Mudejar brickwork, which beautifully merges Moorish Muslim design with Gothic architecture. 🇪🇸
Renowned for its architectural grandeur, the castle features double walls that are 2.5 meters thick, encircled by a deep, dry moat.
The structure consists of two square baileys separated by a passageway, each adorned with polygonal towers at the corners.
Due to its splendid design and aesthetic appeal, the castle served more as a palace than a fortress, highlighting its importance and elegance during its time.

Traveling back in time isn't simple, as James Cole (Bruce Willis) learns the hard way.
Imprisoned in the 2030s, James is recruited for a mission that will send him back to the 1990s.
Once there, he's supposed to gather information about a nascent plague that's about to exterminate the vast majority of the world's population.
But, aside from the manic Jeffrey (Brad Pitt), he gets little in the way of cooperation, not least from medical gatekeepers like Dr. Kathryn Railly (Madeleine Stowe).

The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience compilation album came out this week in 1993.
Start to finish it was stacked with great bands and music! Nirvana , Anthrax (covering Beastie Boys !), Megadeth , Run DMC , Aerosmith , White Zombie , Primus , sirmixalot , Red Hot Chili Peppers , and Jackyl all adorn this album!
Ironically, the Nirvana song is called "I Hate Myself and Want to Die". Kurt Cobain would part the world of the living 6 months later.
And the in between song monologue with Beavis and Butthead was also great. I particularly love the exchange between those two and the Anthrax guys. "I think I saw Beavis' mom naked"

Jerry Garcia in front of the Grateful Dead's Infamous Wall of Sound.
The Wall of Sound was an enormous public address system designed specifically for the Grateful Dead’s live performances in 1974.
It was the creation of audio engineer Owsley “Bear” Stanley. The Grateful Dead gave the sneak peek of the Wall of Sound on February 9, 1973 at Stanford University’s Maples Pavilion but it was on March 23, 1974 when they debuted the completed system during their tour stop at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California.
Weighed over 70 tons, comprise dozens and then hundreds of amps, speakers, subwoofers, and tweeters, stand over three-stories tall and stretch nearly 100 feet wide. Its name could only be the “Wall of Sound”.

On this date thirty years ago, Nirvana 'Unplugged in New York' album was released.
The live footage was recorded/aired on MTV on November 18, 1993, and released on CD on November 1, 1994. The set sees Nirvana playing some of their material, and covering The Vasilines, David Bowie , Leadbelly, and Meat Puppets .
The Meat Puppets' Cris and Curt Kirkwood would join Nirvana on a few songs during the performance. The unplugged album debuted at number 1 on the album charts. It was released seven months after the death of Kurt Cobain.
From this admins perspective, I think Nirvana Unplugged is the best in the MTV unplugged series. Followed by Alice in Chains, Eric Clapton, and Neil Young.

"2001: A Space Odyssey" is a 1968 science fiction novel by British writer Arthur C. Clarke.
It was developed concurrently with Stanley Kubrick's film version and published after the release of the film. Clarke and Kubrick worked on the book together, but eventually only Clarke ended up as the official author.
The novel takes a panoramic overview of progress, human and otherwise, and follows the growth of human civilization from primitive hominids. It is concerned not only with the evolution that has led to the development of humanity but also with the evolution that humanity might undergo in the future. The story is a powerful exploration of space, artificial intelligence, and the destiny of humanity, and it has had an indelible impact on both cinema and genre literature.
The novel has been followed by sequels, including "2010: Odyssey Two" (1982), "2061: Odyssey Three" (1987), and "3001: The Final Odyssey" (1997). "2010: Odyssey Two" was adapted as a motion picture in 1984. Clarke, a prolific writer, has authored numerous books and short stories covering science fiction and science fact, and his work has left a lasting impact on the genre.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" is a significant work in the science fiction genre and has had a profound influence on popular culture. It is a visionary work that has changed the way we look at the stars and ourselves, and it continues to be an enduring classic of cinematic scope.
