Dave Grohl has got some of the coolest friends in the world. How do I know? Because they're all in his new documentary. Down below is the trailer for a doc called Sound City which was directed by the Foo Fighters frontman and focuses on Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, CA. The studio was shut down in 2011 but not before some of the biggest names in rock recorded some legendary albums including Nirvana's Nevermind . Grohl said of the studio, "That place was like a church. [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-25T03:49:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4011962/watch-weezer-los-angeles-frank-black-cover-on-weezer/

While trolling the inbox and the internets for content to highlight in the first IT Dept. post of 2012, Nathan was kind enough to point me to this track. It gets its own post because it is awesome.

Pixies frontman Frank Black has unveiled plans to start his own record label , The Bureau. Black said of the move: "I wasn't planning to start up my own record label, but I hope I get invited to some really intense high-end parties." He also says that he established The Bureau originally to release his own work, as "more traditional record companies find it a little overwhelming that I come up with another record every nine months." The Bureau's first releases will be from Jeremy Dubs and Eric Drew Feldman, a collaborator of the late Captain [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-10T13:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3852616/frank-black-presenta-su-sello-the-bureau/

As a New Englander, we get a bit jaded around here. I find it really hard to take overblown (get it?) prognostications of foul weather very seriously. I distinctly remember one time it cost me dearly though. I was working in Framingham, MA and there was a big snowstorm in the offing. Why I went to the office that day I'll never know, but I think I was scheduled to have lunch with a friend of mine if memory serves. There was some kind of announcement at work and the office was closed by 11 AM.
