Buckingham Nicks + Fleetwood Mac on "Dave Grohl Presents Sound City" Nov 29th Sirius XM Radio

DAVE GROHL To Host New Sirius XM Radio Show

Sirius XM Radio announced today that Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl will host an exclusive, limited-run show that will air on a number of SiriusXM music channels.

"Dave Grohl Presents Sound City" will premiere this Thursday at 4:00 pm ET on Classic Vinyl, channel 26, in advance of the release of Grohl's feature-length film documentary of the same name. 

  

The weekly series will feature Grohl telling stories about the music recorded at the iconic Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, and will showcase songs recorded there, from albums like Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush," Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours," Metallica's "Death Magnetic" and Nirvana's "Nevermind," the latter of which provided Grohl's introduction to the studio in 1991. 

  

"I'm so proud of the Sound City film and beyond excited for the world to see what I've been working on for the past year," Grohl said in a statement. "Even before that, though, I'm grateful to SiriusXM for giving me the opportunity to share all this great music and to let people know what got me excited about Sound City in the first place." 

  

Each week will showcase different years and artists. The full schedule is below.

Just caught the show... You didn't miss much in regards to Buckingham Nicks... Dave Grohl told the story we've all heard before how Lindsey and Stevie recorded Buckingham Nicks with Keith Olsen at Sound City and Mick came in looking for a studio to record the next Fleetwood Mac album, Keith played Mick "Frozen Love" from Buckingham Nicks to demo the studio and a few weeks later after Bob W. quit Mick called Keith asking about LB.  He was told by Keith that Lindsey and Stevie were a package deal if he wanted Lindsey, he'd also have to take Stevie... end of story, that's how the classic FM line-up began. Then Dave played "Frozen Love". The entire sirius show is just over 5 hours long... Didn't stick around for the Fleetwood Mac part.

INTERVIEW: Lindsey Buckingham Talks 'One Man Show' and Fleetwood Mac

By Richard Bienstock

Earlier this month, Lindsey Buckingham released the live document One Man Show exclusively through iTunes. The album captures the legendary singer and guitarist onstage in Des Moines, Iowa, during a stop on his most recent tour — his first playing a full set of music in a solo acoustic configuration.

Buckingham recently sat down with Guitar Aficionado to discuss the impetus behind doing these shows, the process by which he adapts his music to an acoustic setting, and his feelings on returning to the “Big Machine” — his term for Fleetwood Mac — for a scheduled tour in 2013.

GUITAR AFICIONADO: What led you to embark on this solo acoustic tour?

My mentality for a while has been of this idea of ever moving toward the center, so to speak, in terms of presenting my songs with only guitar and vocal. So it was kind of an experiment. And I wasn’t sure how it would go. I knew in my head I could do all the stuff on my own, but figuring out how to plan the arc of an entire set was more difficult. But the main thing I had to get used to was the idea of standing up there all alone. Those first couple of shows I was looking around the stage going, “Where is everybody?” [laughs]

When adapting your electric songs to an acoustic setting you tend to discard much of the known arrangement in favor of re-imagining the composition from the inside out. What is your thought process?

With an ensemble approach, generally speaking you’ve got a lot going on. And all the different parts tend to simplify out and become thematic, in the sense that maybe guitars and other instruments go in and out of the mix, and the constant is the rhythm section. But when suddenly the rhythm section does not exist, then you have to think in terms of covering as much ground thematically and melodically and rhythmically as you can with just one guitar. So that’s what I do. And I guess because a lot of my background as a guitarist stemmed from me just sitting around alone and developing a fingerstyle approach that was somewhere between folk and classical, it lends itself to playing in this way.

So when I think about doing a song like “Big Love” or “Go Insane” as a solo acoustic piece I start by throwing away everything that was there expect for the lyric and the melody. Then it’s just a matter of figuring out what works around those things and trying to keep it interesting. It’s what I was doing earlier on songs like “Never Going Back Again” as well. But it was really the point where I started transitioning songs from being ensemble pieces to solo pieces—and I think “Big Love” was the first one—where some kind of light bulb went off in my head in terms of feeling like I was revisiting a part of myself or potential in myself that was not being used very much. And then it became something that I actively pursued, if not a major part of the representation of any new thing I’d be doing.

How would you describe your approach to the acoustic?

I guess I like to think of myself as a refined primitive. [laughs] In terms of articulating or intellectualizing it, I find I have a hard time dissecting what I do on guitar. It’s just what feels right. And if you go in with a certain intention to present something in a particular way you just look for it until it sounds like you hit on the right thing.

What guitars have you been using for these shows?

My main acoustics are my Turner Renaissance guitars. I have some regular ones and then a couple of baritones. I’m also using my electric Turners [the Model 1] on three songs, as well as a few Taylors. And there’s a Gibson Chet Atkins on “Big Love” and “Go Insane.”

You’ve been recording and performing as a solo artist—what you refer to as the “Small Machine”—for the past several years. Are you ready for the Big Machine to start back up?

Well, yes, I am! I’m actually looking quite forward to it. The only thing you can say about the Big Machine is that every time we get together it seems like things are different on some level, politically or whatever. You always have to bring your sense of humor. As of now, everybody in Fleetwood Mac agrees that we want to go tour. But I don’t think anyone knows exactly what we’re gonna do yet. It’s to be determined in rehearsals. Because there are a lot of moving parts in Fleetwood Mac. And the trick to existing in that world is, if I can use a saying, to sort of walk through the minefield without stepping on anything. [laughs] And hopefully that will be something we’ll all be able to do.

LISTEN: Three Tracks from "Rumours Revisited" Fleetwood Mac Mojo Magazine Issue

The Mad Mackerel have posted two tracks from the upcoming "Rumours Revisited" FREE CD that comes with the January, 2013 issue of Mojo Magazine...  Yeasayer "Second Hand News"  The Liars "The Chain" There's also "Songbird" as a download on their site The Mad Mackerel Both VERY different from the original... Songbird is lovely though. Remember they are re-imagined versions, so they weren't going for exact replicas...  Looking forward to the magazine, and of course your reactions to the covers.

Julia Holter's version of Gold Dust Woman surfaced today over at Gorilla vs Beat... Not bad at all, I like the layered vocals.
