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. [...]
For a decade plus following college, I participated in an extended childhood, existing on the periphery of the music industry, close enough to see behind the curtain, yet not so involved to reap financial rewards that would have sullied the experience. The time afforded me opportunities to do things and meet people that I would have thought unthinkable as a kid growing up in Sticksville, listening to music and devouring liner notes. Sometimes I will escape the office and the mind-numbing engagement in capitalistic endeavors to enjoy tobacco. I'll set the iPod [...]
Mike's Top 10 Concert Photos from 2011 Mike's Top 10 Photos from 2011 Twenty-eleven was an amazing year for me with YouTellConcerts.com. I went to (and shot) more shows than I could have possibly imagined in one year. I'm a music junkie all the way, but to be a photographer up front in the photo pit armed with my camera and favorite lens...well nothing compares. It was very tough to pick my favorite ten photos out of all the thousands I took during [...]
photos by Greg Cristman Cheap Trick was amazing... the band barely let up; if there was a second or a pause they ripped into another song, played The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour as if they owned it. "She's Tight" which brought back images of the video from thirty years ago. "The Dream Police" which I would say is my favorite, and "I Want You to Want Me". Rickie Nilsson kept flipping guitar picks out into the audience and like a kid I wanted to get one. [...]

Gary Jules covers Cheap Trick's 'I Want You to Want Me.'
The series now hits 1980, which was a pretty good year for pop music. Good enough to warrant four instalments, I think.

Here they are playing "I Want You To Want Me" at the Ottawa Bluesfest last night: and the next thing you know, the 90-mph winds are bringing the stage down . The AP wrote : "Cheap Trick had been playing for about 20 minutes when howling winds and storm suddenly clouds blew in. The band quickly left as the stage began to collapse, sending about 10,000 fans [...]
A strong downward burst of wind is believed to have led to the collapse of the main stage during a performance Sunday night at Ottawa Bluesfest. Though not an official finding, Environment Canada said they are fairly confident a downburst was the trigger for the collapse of the main stage 20 minutes into a performance by Cheap Trick. A downburst is a particularly strong downdraft of air from a thunderstorm that spreads out in all directions when it hits the ground and can potentially cause as much damage as a tornado. Thunderstorms with wind [...]
