  "[Dave is] doing a documentary about the legendary board from from Sound City that everybody and their mom recorded on - everybody from 'Nevermind to, actually, 'Iowa' (Slipknots first album) Corey said. "And he's slowly but surely goeen all these people together to make music on that board again.   And he called me.  He was like, 'Would you like to do a tune?'  I was like, 'Are you serious?  I'm on a plane right now.'  you know.  And it's really cool, because it's me, Dave and Rick Neilsen [Cheap Trick] on one tune.  And I'm like, 'Ahh... Excuse me?!!  It's just a huge check mark on my bucket list, let's put it that way.  And I'm really ecstatic.  It's a really good tuen.

  The Sound City Studios documentary is Grohl collaborating with various musicians and recording the project at Sound City.  No details yet on the release, but more details are expected soon.

Iggy Pop Named Record Store Day Ambassador 2012

  Iggy Pop has been named ambassador for Record Store Day 2012.  The annual event is used to publicize and drive business to independent record stores.  This years Record Store Day takes place on April 21st.  It is marked with special shows and one day sales events.

  Iggy Pops statement on his new position on the Record Store Day website:

 "A person should have a personality.   You won't get one dicking around on the computer.  It helps to go somewhere where there are other persons.  Persons who are interested in something you are.  That's how a record store or any shop that's got some life to it should work.  It's not about selling shit."

  I got my name, my musical education and my personality all from working at a record store during the tender years.  In the 50's and 60's the teen kids used to gather after school at these places to listen free to the latest singles and see if they liked the beat.  You could buy the disc you liked for 79 cents and if you were lucky meet a chick.  Clerks in these places became managers, (like Brian Epstein), label heads (Jack Holzman) and faces on album covers (like me).

  Personally I feel best in a store that, while staying small and socially relaxed, still keeps a complete variety of music types and non musical recordings on offer.  All of this is cool and has a much bigger future than most people realize today.

  As Record Store Day Ambassador for 2012 I feel like a representative from some exotic jungle full of life and death and sex and anger, called upon to wear a leopard skin and translate joy to the world of the dead."  

  So on April 21st. make sure you go to your favorite record store and pick something up, browse around, talk to the guy behind the counter, because he is a hell of a lot more interesting than clicking that button on your itunes account.  Hopefully you enjoy it and go back, because there aren't a lot of them around anymore, and we sure the fuck will miss them when it's too late.
