this does not rule them out completely. NMH played in Europe right before roo didn't they?
There was an interview with Nate and Taylor a few weeks ago. During the interview Nate said they'd be playing European festivals the next summer. If that's the case they would be staying in Euorope for the summer. It's more than likely they will not be at Bonnaroo.

Anyone watch the first episode of the HBO series? What did you think?
I really enjoyed it, and am excited for the rest of the series. I really like the brief history of music in Chicago. I'm sure there was so much more to tell, but drawing a bridge between the blues guys and punk scene was neat. I also like that they gave Ministry a nod at the beginning, even if we didn't see anymore of Uncle Al in the episode.
The star of the episode was Steven Albini. I'd heard his name and knew he was part of a lot of huge albums but had no idea how awesome he was.
Really psyched to learn more about the musical heritage of so many other cities. Of course I'm looking forward to the NOLA episode more than any other.

I enjoyed it more than expected. It would have been even better if it had not ended with a Foo Fighters performance. Just kidding . The Albini back story was great. I found it interesting he gave up future royalties on the albums he produced. He said it would be like someone in construction seeing something they had built was still standing years later and feeling he should continue to get paid. He could have made millions off In Utero. He also said sometimes he would cover his $30k monthly expenses on his studio by playing poker. The Chess Records segments with Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy were great too. I'll definitely keep watching and am looking forward to the future episodes.
Oh man I'm so anxious to see everything they do next summer/tour if the first thing announced is Wrigley Field. Even though I could totally see them doing European festivals in the beginning of summer and then doing the US at the end of summer/into fall, I'm still crossing my fingers for Bonnaroo. It's all I want!

I enjoyed it and will watch the others, but thought there were some kinda awkward moments. It had the same problem the Sound City doc did: the history was cool and interesting, but the parts that incorporated the Foo Fighters were a little forced and awkward. And why was James Murphy even in it?
Also, Albini is nuts for not taking points. That's just how producers are paid, and forgoing that total normal and accepted source of income and instead playing poker to feed for family and pay your staff is irresponsible.

I kind of agree with you on the Albini points thing. Maybe its just because I'm in my thirties now. While I respect his idealism, and was initially blown away and impressed by his choice, after thinking about it a little more I thought, isn't that unfair to the people that work at his studio? That they have to worry about their job security? And with the freedom royalties bring wouldn't he be able to record even more bands, even bands that can't pay foo fighters kind of money? He could bring any young punk band he thinks is cool in and record their shit for free, in a state of the art studio.
As for the James Murphy part, I liked it because I like seeing James Murphy. Also his anecdote about Albini sending him all the studio diagrams and stuff was cool. Again it spoke to Albini's character.

That was great. Murphy said he was just a kid writing Albini for advice on building a studio and Steve sent him several diagrams and blueprints with advice on setup for optimum sound quality.

And a brief audiophile rant: after all the complexities and work and thought that went into the studio, after they pro-tool and brickwall the shit out of it the end album is still going to sound exactly the same as if they'd done it on a macbook.
I know I'm not an audio engineer, but its nuts to me the amount of energy and time and money that gets put into a studio, only to have the affect of the room completely removed via EQ and mix choices. The drums suddenly sound like little toy drums, the guitar crunch has no room to breathe, the vocals are processed to death, low frequency bass notes completely non-existent.
Why can't we just make shit sound like Black Sabbath 4?

They could have had this anecdote without having Murphy give other unrelated anecdotes and a bunch of footage from MSG.

I was thinking they should've just put "Shut Up and Play the Hits" in its entirety in the middle of the episode. And go ahead and put "Sound City" and "Muscle Shoals" and "20 Feet From Stardom" in there as well. And that Pink Floyd DSOTM classic albums episode as well.
Foo Fighters are playing a show at the Black Cat in DC on Friday. Tickets on sale today at 6. ht.ly/D4hs4
They played in Chicago last week for that episode. Assuming the pattern follows and they play shows in each city I'll be in Austin on my journey for it.
