Being able Mto capture or record music for future generations to enjoy is one of music’s most valuable skills. Today Music Production is something anyone can do, armed with a cellphone and a decent internet connection. Sure you’ll soon want a microphone; and then another mic, and then another mic. Speakers help of course, and pro software gives you the sort of power that only major recording studios like Capitol and Abbey Road had back in the day. Speaking of which, back in the day when we were trying to carve out our careers, there weren’t any alternatives to a recording studio. And there weren’t any schools you could go to to learn about recording. Alan got a job as an assistant engineer at Abbey Road and Julian signed with Charisma Records as a writer and keyboard player.

  • HAPPY FOO YEAR: “NO SON of MINE” SECOND TRACK from FORTHCOMING 10Th ALBUM out NOW MEDICINE at MIDNIGHT AVAILABLE for PRE-ORD
    HAPPY FOO YEAR: “NO SON OF MINE” SECOND TRACK FROM FORTHCOMING 10th ALBUM OUT NOW MEDICINE AT MIDNIGHT AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT http://foofighters.co/MAM Foo Fighters are ringing in 2021—literally—with the ear-ringing new “No Son of Mine.” The second track to be revealed from the band’s forthcoming 10th album Medicine at Midnight (out February 5th on Roswell Records/RCA Records), “No Son of Mine” is now available to stream or download, or as an instant grat track with pre-orders placed at foofighters.co/MAM “No Son of Mine” ignites the second half of Medicine at Midnight with a lightning strike of a riFF that builds into the album’s most full-on barnstormer. Replete with nods to familiar FF influences from Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy” to Ace of Spades/Iron Fist-era Motörhead to Metallica's Kill ‘Em All, “No Son of Mine” features a streamlined, minimalist chassis of searing Grohl, Smear and Shiflett licks atop a steel-trap-tight Hawkins/Mendel rhythmic frame. "This is the kind of song that just resides in all of us and if it makes sense at the time, we let it out,” Grohl explains, adding, "Lyrically it’s meant to poke at the hypocrisy of self-righteous leaders, people that are guilty of committing the crimes they’re supposedly against…” Medicine at Midnight is produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, engineered by Darrell Thorp and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, and packs the following nine songs into a tight-ass 37 minutes: Making a Fire Shame Shame Cloudspotter Waiting on a War Medicine at Midnight No Son of Mine Holding Poison Chasing Birds Love Dies Young Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, and Rami Jaffee.

  • Black Flamingo
    BLACK FLAMINGO Movie Club’s Debut Full-length Record “Black Flamingo” OUT 11/27/20 Listen Now Website Spotify Youtube Instagram In a time when words often fail us, there is Movie Club: The instrumental rock band that expresses a range of raw emotions without need for lyrics. Black Flamingo will be released two years after the band played their @irst show at the infamous Pre-Cal Jam party at Fonogenic Studios. Legendary Venice guitarist Robby Krieger (The Doors) headlined the stage later that evening and Dave Grohl BBQed in the parking lot throughout the night. It all came full circle when the band mixed their @irst LP at Fonogenic this spring. “The response from that original show was so positive that it gave us the courage to continue,” drummer Jessamyn Violet says. “We’re doing something different, and it’s fun.” Movie Club is made up of Vince Cuneo on guitar and Jessamyn Violet on drums. The band has been building an international fan base since their irst EP Kraken dropped in February of 2019. Since then, they have released a total of three EPs that have caught ears all over the globe. “Instrumental music is for everyone," Cuneo says, "no matter which language you speak or culture you come from.” Black Flamingo features special guests on several tracks: Rami Jaffee on keys (Foo Fighters, Wall@lowers), Tim Lefebvre on bass (Bowie, Black Crowes), and Jessy Greene on violin (P!NK, Foo Fighters). Movie Club self-produced the record, engineered and mixed by Jeff Thompson and mastered by Mike Tucci.

  • Jay-Z, Foo Fighters and Mary J. Blige Among Rock Hall Nominees
    Jay-Z, Foo Fighters and Mary J. Blige Among Rock Hall Nominees Seven of this yearʼs 16 nominees are women, including the Go-Goʼs, Dionne Warwick, Kate Bush, Carole King, Chaka Khan and Tina Turner. Jay-Z in concert. Heʼs on the list of nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame released Wednesday.Brian Ach/Getty Images North America, via (Credit Too Long, See Caption) By Ben Sisario Feb. 10, 2021 Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Iron Maiden and the Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti are all first-time nominees for the 36th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the hall announced on Wednesday. They lead a group of 16 nominees, including several who have received nods at least twice before: Devo, LL Cool J, New York Dolls, Rage Against the Machine and Todd Rundgren. After many complaints that the hallʼs hundreds of inductees over the years have been overwhelmingly white and male, this yearʼs ballot is its most diverse yet. Seven of the 16 nominees are female acts, and nine feature artists of color. Women on the ballot include the Go-Goʼs and Dionne Warwick — both receiving their first nods — along with Kate Bush, Carole King, Chaka Khan and Tina Turner. This yearʼs induction ceremony is planned for the fall in Cleveland, home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. To some extent, the latest crop of nominees extends a pattern that has taken hold over the last half-decade or so, with a handful of alt-rock heroes and rap gods as all-but-guaranteed sure things; Foo Fighters and Jay-Z have just crossed the hallʼs eligibility threshold of 25 years since the release of their first commercial recordings.
