       Sound City is definitely on my radar. The trailer alone has all
       but guaranteed that I will buy this when it hits DVD. So, I will
       Wait For The DVD release most likely.

       I just read about this last night. Let's see what further
       talents Dave Grohl has. I'm rather hopeful it will be pretty
       cool.

       [glow=red,2,300]Stevie Nicks + Sound City Players, ‘You Can’t
       Fix This’ – Song Review[/glow]

       > Stevie Nicks leads Dave Grohl and the Sound City Players on
       ‘You Can’t Fix This,’ a song inspired by the death of the
       Fleetwood Mac singer’s godson. The group recently performed a
       slower, bluesier version of the track from the ‘Sound City’
       soundtrack on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman.’ It’s best
       experienced live.
       >
       > The studio version ultimately relies on Nicks, who is not
       quite the gifted vocalist she once was. Only when one knows the
       context in which she penned the lyrics is it effective. Lost in
       the studio mix is the swirling guitar licks that set the mood
       for this dark quasi-anti-drug message. “We were careful in our
       own way / We walk through the darkness / We made a pact not to
       dance with the devil / Even when the devil seemed to have a
       heart,” she sings before the first chorus.
       >
       > That chorus is an unimpressive, slogging arrangement that
       fails to grab one’s attention. “You can’t fix this / You lost a
       friend / Hearts breaking / Right and left / Friendships break
       like glass / And the devil pours another glass,” Nicks sings.
       Later a pair of backing vocalists freshen-up the lyrics. It’s a
       necessary addition, as the finished cut comes in at a lumbering
       six minutes.
       >
       > “We never allowed the devil to come to the party,” Nicks sings
       multiple times. Presumably the “devil” is the drugs, which she
       did let come to the party during points in her life. Her godson
       overdosed, and Nicks has talked about him before.
       >
       > Lyrically, the message is meaningful but not brilliant prose.
       Clumsy rhymes aren’t softened by a magical arrangment of guitars
       and drums. Instead they’re left as the focus of a song that just
       sounds flat on the record. The slowed down live version they
       performed on late night television adds another dimension to the
       single, but ultimately it’s not going to be one fans remember
       forever.

       Not sure if you caught the interview last week, but Dave was on
       The Colbert Report hyping the movie and giving up some
       interesting facts about the mixing board that he bought from the
       recording studio. Great stuff. I checked on YouTube and couldn't
       find anything to post.
