It wasn’t much to look at: a nondescript building in the San Fernando Valley with hideous brown shag carpeting on the walls. Grohl now owns it, moving it from the original home to his house. The board (that Grohl believes has soulful and magical powers) that recorded Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, and Nirvana’s Nevermind, for goodness sake. And here’s a story from NPR about the legendary sound board in the Sound City control room. Team it with a tour, promoting the premiere of the movie with a band called The Sound City Players – essentially the Foo Fighters, with rotating cast of Rick Springfield, John Fogerty, Rick Nielsen and Stevie Nicks. I think the idea of a ratty rock studio and a magical sound board is highly addictive. That’s my self-diagnosis regarding Dave Grohl’s new Sound City documentary.
