• Could Foo Fighters be Counting Down to a New Album In Three Weeks?

    Foo Fighters held true to their promise and performed a show in Cesena, Italy last night in response to an organization named Rockin 1000's successful attempt to lure the band to play a show in their distant suburb by filming 1,000 of its citizens and fans simultaneously performing the band's classic song "Learn To Fly." During the show, Dave Grohl invited the viral video's organizers onstage.

  • What's With the Countdown Clock on the Foo Fighters Site?

    Foo Fighters seem to usually end up being the topic of conversation, always making "something from nothing" (get it?), but today (Oct. 29), the band launched a mysterious countdown clock on their website that will strike 00:00:00:00 at midnight on Nov. 23. Some speculate the band will release a second season of their 2014 HBO mini docu-series Sonic Highways, which earned them two Emmy awards.

  • PJ Harvey's Next Album to Be Recorded at Art Exhibit

    Just as the Foo Fighters did with the HBO documentary series on the cross-country recording of their latest album "Sonic Highways," British singer-songwriter PJ Harvey plans on exposing the recording process of her next album to the public. But instead of filming her studio sessions like the Foos did, Harvey and her crew of musicians, engineers and producers will be recording the album in a custom-built studio inside London's Somerset House, which will be open to the public for viewing as part of an art exhibition titled "Recording in Progress," starting Jan. 16. According to the Somerset House website, the studio is designed "in the form of an enclosed box ... displaying PJ Harvey, her band, producers, and engineers as a mutating, multi-dimensional sound sculpture." Each studio session will take place 45 minutes at a time from behind one-way, sound-proofed glass — so Harvey will not be able to see you waving at her — and according to Harvey's Facebook page, the sessions could involve "anything from laying down a bass drum track, to discussions, to improvisations, through to full performances of new songs." The exhibition was conceived by Harvey and commissioned by Artangel. Tickets are on sale now for 15 pounds — about $23 — which you can purchase by clicking here.

  • Dave Grohl Says Bands Performing Old Albums 'Lazy,' Considers Re-Recording Foo Fighters's Debut Album

    Dave Grohl has long been a champion for authenticity in music, famously using his 2012 Grammy speech to celebrate "the human element of music," and in a recent "NME" interview, the Foo Fighters frontman was at it again, denouncing the recent trend of bands going on nostalgia tours to perform their old albums in full. "F--k, man! I don't like it when a band's tour is just to play one past record," Grohl vented to "NME." "I f--king hate that. I don't like it when bands do that. It's presumptuous. It's lazy." The topic of these nostalgia tours came up when Grohl was discussing the Foo Fighters's plans for their upcoming 20th anniversary, which at one point included a re-recording of the band's self-titled 1995 debut album, which Grohl originally recorded by himself in a matter of days.
