Animated Dave Grohl Explains Foo Fighters Concrete & Gold
I was one of the lucky ones that got to see the Foo Fighters 3 + hour Metro show during Lolla this year. After the show I went across the street to Wrigleyville Dogs (ordered the #5) and when I came out, Taylor Hawkins was in front of the venue signing , high fiving, and taking selfies with anyone that wanted one. This band gets it so much. They love their fans so hard and we love the Foo Fighters right back.
So when it comes to their new album Concrete and Gold we want to know things, like why did they decide on a different producer after so many years with Butch Vig? How did they end up with so many guests? And other FAQS…
Animated Dave Grohl explains everything in this glorious video below.
Here’s the song that changed the entire course of Foo Fighters history

Woman Fakes A Seizure In Order To Foil Robbery
A robber handed a woman a note on a train in San Francisco, threatening to hurt her if she didn’t hand over her wallet and phone, according to police..
Instead of caving into the crook’s demands, 32-year-old Julie Dragland faked a seizure, a move she learned from an episode of “Law & Order.” Two other passengers ran to help her and the suspect got off the train. READ MORE

PARTY! Watch Andrew W.k. confirm new music is coming
Could he be the prom king of Riot Fest? What does it mean to enter a new party universe? These questions are all pitched to the party king himself, Andrew W.K. who bought the revelry to Day 3 of Riot Fest this past Sunday in Douglas Park. Kevin shared the PMA Party energy backstage prior to his radical set on the Heather Owens Stage.
The biggest nugget we grabbed in our chat above with AWK is that he is finally releasing a new album, his first since 55 Cadillac and the Japan-exclusive Gundam Rockin in 2009. The yet-to-be-titled album will be out next year on March 2nd.
Meanwhile Andrew WK and his full slamming band will hit the road with a Chicago party at the Vic on October 21st.
