ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS make rootsy music in a disco-ball filled room (and other sets) in this new clip for "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)."  BTW, Robert Plant has the beard of the year, according to the Beard Liberation Front, an informal network of beard wearers.

LED ZEPPELIN:  Unsubstantiated rumors have resurfaced about the band headlining the next Bonnaroo festival.

THE REPLACEMENTS, Live at CBGB's - October 12, 1984, marks rbally's official return to semi-regular blogging.  You can jukebox the gig via the ol' HM.

RADIOHEAD picked a boutique label for the non-download Canadian release of In Rainbows.  Remember, you can stream the album this week via Spinner, if you didn't do the "pay what you want" download.

JAMES BROWN:  The legal feud over the Godfather of Soul's estate is stalling the release of his final recordings.

IDA MARIA is kinda... intense in the video for "Oh My God."

THE INDUSTRY:  New York magazine has a piece on the record labels' continuing war against file-sharing and album leaks, including the claim that that it is illegal for someone who has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into his or her computer.  It's enough to get people wondering whether the RIAA will die in 2008.

VICTORIA BERGSMAN -- former Concretes frontwoman and the female voice on Peter, Bjorn and John's "Young Folks" -- gets an audio feature for her solo LP on All Things Considered at NPR.

MOBY GRAPE:  The pop-psych band's decades-long streak of bad luck continues, but you can stream a killer live take on "Omaha" at the link.

PETE DOHERTY has denied that he's going to spill the beans on life with his ex, Kate Moss.

THE McCARTNEYS:  Heather Mills says she will have to sell the £3.25million mansion Sir Paul bought her -- to pay the legal bills for her divorce.  Which would be more believable if she had not thrown a £30,000 New Year's party.

PAMELA ANDERSON tells People magazine that she still has plenty of problems after filing for divorce and announcing a reconciliation with third husband Rick Salomon.  On her website, she asks, "What's the definition of insanity?"  Some define insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.  Anderson also told People her plans for 2008 are "More of the same. More excitement, more fun."  So expect more train-wreckage this year.

MISCHA BARTON was such a diva as she was preparing to host Saturday's grand opening of the CatHouse Loungerie club at the Luxor in Las Vegas, the owners were happy when she was arrested for DUI last week and canceled her appearance.

KATE MOSS has decided to move her new nanny into her new home in a bid to curb her hell-raising lifestyle.

JUDE LAW has been haunted by the ghost of Frank Sinatra in Cuba.  Law he reportedly saw a vision of Ol' Blue Eyes raiding his hotel mini-bar after celebrating his 35th birthday at Havana's Hotel Nacional de Cuba on Saturday.  So there clearly was some sort of spirit involved in the incident.

JUNO had the second-biggest haul ever for an indie flick last Friday.  Award prognosticator Tom O'Neill thinks that success makes it a heavyweight contender for an Oscar best-pic nomination and that star Ellen Page may be emerging as the best-actress frontrunner.  Fox Searchlight is upping its rollout to 2000 screens this weekend.

PAKISTAN:  In a dramatic U-turn, the government apologized for claiming that former premier Bhutto died of a skull fracture after hitting the sunroof of her car during a suicide attack.  Bhutto was slain just hours before she was to go public with "proof" that Pakistani intelligence and electoral officials were planning to rig polls, an official from her party said on Tuesday.  However, there is no evidence of a causal link.

IRAN:  The L.A. Times reports that no one really knows who is running the country.  Energy Minister Parviz Fattah says Iran is constructing its first homemade 360-megawatt nuclear plant in Khuzestan province.  And Russia continues to resist any further sanctions against Iran for failing to comply with UN resolutions regarding its nuclear program.

IRAQ:  Milbogger Tony Sidoti had a Blackhawk's-eye view of New Year's Eve in Baghdad: "Sure, flying low over the city in a helicopter while people are shootings fireworks and weapons into the air isn't the greatest place to be, but the beauty and energy coming up from the streets far outweighed my fears."  Coalition forces captured the Special Groups recruiter for Karbala Province and 21 al Qaeda operatives during operations in central and northern Iraq. The Iraqi Army arrested 40 al Qaeda fighters, including a Saudi national, in northern Babil and another six in Haditha. Police captured an al Qaeda leader and two aides in Baqubah.

CROUCHING KITTY, HIDDEN CHIPMUNK:  An epic confrontation.

A BARN OWL is flying in the rings for the bride and groom at a wedding in Denbighshire.  The owl has experience from its day job delivering mail to Hogwarts.

TINK, a Pomeranian-Chihuahua, nabbed fugitives, made them drop their chalupas.

CODY, a Sheltie, treed a mountain lion in San Juan Capistrano.

PTERODACTYL blamed for a one-car accident in Wenatchee, Wash.  I suppose that would be startling.
