NPR.org full album stream: First Listen: Dave Grohl & Friends, ‘Sound City: Real To Reel’
Kind of over Dave Grohl Sound City interviews by now, but this British GQ Q&A is a cut above: Dave Grohl on Barry Manilow, Metallica and reuniting with Nirvana

The collaboration came out of the Sound City film that was produced and directed by Dave. He asked me if I wanted to play with him, Pat and Paul? I said YES! It was a wonderful day—Paul came in with this cigar box guitar and started playing some mean slide on it. He said it was in a ‘D.’ Hearing that, Grunge instincts took over my left hand and I dropped the E on the bass to D. Pat and Dave got into it and the tune took shape. Paul flashed a riff and we picked it up. I busted another one out and everyone picked it up. Things started coming together.
It was so exciting to play with Paul. I became seized with thoughts, for I hadn’t played like that with Pat or Dave since the last Nirvana show in 1994. Wow, it was emotionally and musically heavy! Some other things brought me back; there was a Lefty on guitar who was a heck of a songwriter. Anyway, words can’t really describe it and I returned to the task at hand. A new song was born! And that’s about it. That’s all it is—a new song by some players who have doing it for a while.

Studio version of “Cut Me Some Slack” by McCartney/Novoselic/Smear/Grohl.
Reblogged from Accomplice Rex
Paul McCartney and ex-Nirvana members played “Cut Me Some Slack” on SNL last night. And here’s the video:

More Courtney Love posts re: last night’s Nirvana/McCartney performance, from the Everybody Loves Our Town Facebook page. She disses Krist’s bass playing and apparently the song itself in this thread and defends herself from the haters here.
Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic discuss their new Paul McCartney collaboration, “Cut Me Some Slack,” initially recorded for Grohl’s forthcoming Sound City documentary.
And here’s the “Nirvana reunion” video. Don’t forget to contribute to the cause. Good night, everyone!
Apparently the real Courtney Love has replied to my Facebook post on her initial reaction to the “Nirvana reunion.”
The Sun is reporting that Paul McCartney will “front a Nirvana reunion” at the 12-12-12 Sandy benefit tonight. Rumor has it they’ll be playing a new song, not Nirvana material, so—even overlooking the absence of Kurt—calling it a “Nirvana reunion” is a stretch. And it’s not like Grohl, Novoselic and Smear haven’t all played together in recent years.
Also, the story’s quotes from Macca sound totally fake: “I didn’t really know who they were. They are saying how good it is to be back together. I said: ‘Whoa? You guys haven’t played together for all that time?’ And somebody whispered to me: ‘That’s Nirvana. You’re Kurt.’ I couldn’t believe it.”
Dave Grohl, Eddie Vedder and Bon Jovi have been added to the lineup of the 12-12-12 Sandy relief concert.
