Josh Homme has aged considerably in this vid and is surprisingly good at magic.
Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and Trent Reznor laying down the music for “Mantra” from the Sound City documentary
As part of its First Listen series, NPR is streaming the new Real to Reel album from Dave Grohl and a collection of the artists featured in his Sound City documentary, affectionately known on their recent mini-tour as the Sound City Players. The album sees Grohl and members of Foo Fighters collaborating with such notable figures as Stevie Nicks, Rick Springfield, Rick Nielsen, Josh Homme, Trent Reznor, and Sir Paul McCartney.
So far I like what I’m hearing. Sure, Dave’s fingerprints are all over this, but what did you expect?! Stand-out tracks for me are “The Man That Never Was” with Rick Springfield, “You Can’t Fix This” featuring Stevie Nicks, “Mantra,” a collaboration between Homme, Reznor, and Grohl that unsurprisingly sounds exactly like you would imagine, and “From Can to Can’t,” which I previewed earlier here.
Real to Reel is set for a March 12 release, and you can pre-order the album at Amazon.com or on iTunes.
Update:
Add “A Trick With No Sleeve” and “If I Were Me” to the list.

And how awesome is the Late Show band?! They play the Foos’ “Everlong,” complete with horns, as Dave comes on stage, and in the outro, they break into King’s X’s “We Were Born to be Loved.”

In this age of technology where you can manipulate anything, how do we retain that human element? — Dave Grohl
Sound City premieres at the Sundance Film Festival next month, with a general public release planned for February 2013. Said Grohl about the premiere:
The Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to premiere a film about craft, integrity, and passion for art. I am over the moon!
I can’t wait.
