Let me first say, that I hope a movie theater in St Louis grows a pair and decides to show this once it comes out in February...if not, I will be VERY PO'd. (Tivoli -- I am banking on you...)

Sound City is a documentary about Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, directed by Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, QOTSA, Them Crooked Vultures, every awesome music in the last decade...). This will not be some punkass doc about a place that Dave Grohl doesn't know anything about...he's not only interviewed pretty much every living musician who recorded there, but he's dived into an entire idea with this doc that I know many KSHE listeners could agree with.

After you watch this trailer, you will walk away already agreeing with the idea about autotuning instruments, what makes a musician REALLY a musician and why my generation has sold their souls to the digital Satans of the recording industry. What once was a dividing factor in musical genre recordings is now the 'norm' when it comes to making a record. Luckily, rock n roll is still holding on by a thread and dealing with this situation in a way that is considered 'avant garde, or even hipster' when it comes to analogging a record rather than using overdubs from a computer generated sound skill. (for citation, see the Foo's latest record, WASTING LIGHT -- which was entirely produced, edited and mastered on tape rather than a screen.) When the Foos came out on the record saying they were going analog with their recording process, it was almost like a "throwback" when in reality, more people should still be using that extinct technology more often -- I think it would divide the mainstream of what a true level of talent is, and it would make a difference in everything: how many people become famous with their crafts, how many albums are made, and limit to us, the consumer, the amount of waste that we spend our time bitching about.

No matter what you think of Dave Grohl (because he does have some haters...which I do not understand) you must watch this documentary -- there are so many cameos: Tom Petty, Steven Pearcy, Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor, Lars Ulrich, and so on!

Here is the clip:
