Garbage & Screaming Females – “Because The Night” (Official Video)

’90s alt-pop professionals Garbage and Jersey basement-punk heroes Screaming Females have an unlikely bond. They toured together last year, and Scremales leader Marissa Paternoster joined Garbage onstage regularly to cover Patti Smith’s “Because The Night” (itself the result of an unlikely Smith/Springsteen alliance). Now they’ve committed that cover to wax, getting together into the studio to record as one united megaband. The cover sounds huge and ferocious. Paternoster and Shirley Manson sound pretty amazing in harmony, and Paternoster gets to play a couple of dragon-slaying guitar solos. Sophie Muller filmed the session in crisp black-and-white and made a music video out of it.

Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, Trent Reznor - "Mantra" (Sound City)

Music created for the film, Sound City. http://soundcitymovie.com
From the album Sound City - Real to Reel.

Dave Grohl had a blast directing his documentary Sound City and performing with his Sound City Players ensemble – but in this exclusive video, the rocker gets serious while writing and recording "Mantra" at his Studio 606 space. Grohl takes control on the drums, starting off focused and somber and unleashing his headbanging fury as the track builds steam. Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme provides the driving bassline while Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor creates a swirling vertigo of piano. The trio's chemistry is impeccable as they journey through the almost eight-minute track without a word.
