G Love's new album comes out in a couple of weeks and he's released 3 tracks from it so far. "One Night Romance" is my current obsession. It's a duet with Merry Clayton, who's the amazing vocalist from The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter. I can't get over her.
ETA: I've also been spending a lot of time with some of Dave Grohl's old punk/hardcore bands and influences, because I'm reading a book about him right now. I think that's about to shift over to Nirvana, though, because I just got to that phase of the book.
I've been listening to a Nirvana station on Pandora.

I adore my Nirvana station. Makes me feel all nostalgic.

@susiebw what's the Dave Grohl book? I love him hard.
@SnShne322 What's Back and Forth? No, obviously I haven't seen it. Did you catch him doing Hey Bulldog on that Beatles 50th anniversary tribute show a month or two ago? It was amazing. I think he's one of the best musicians ever. Have you seen him live? I saw Foo Fighters open for RHCP back in 2001 or so, and I wasn't that big a fan back then, but his energy on stage completely blew me away. I've been a huge fan ever since that show.
The book is called This is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl. This is what I just wrote in the "What are you reading" thread: I'm reading This is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl.
I just got to the Nirvana period a day or two ago, and now I can't put
it down. Everything for him and for the band happened so fast, and I
feel like the writing is keeping pace, and I'm really enjoying it now.
Conversely, the first third of the book was more about the "times" than
the "life" of Dave Grohl as a teenager, and I got a really nice overview
of the development of punk rock and hardcore throughout the 80s, and
how that lead up to the alt rock thing in the early 90s, but meh. Like I
said the other day, I was biased against this one from the start,
because there's something about a biography of someone who's still young
and doing awesome stuff that doesn't sit right with me.

Thanks for the rec! I'm going to look into it. I unfortunately haven't seen him live, which saddens me!
Back and Forth is a documentary that came out just before Wasting Light. I thought it was super good and as a Foo Fan I think you'd like it!
Speaking of 90's grunge. If you haven't seen PJ20, you should. It's awesome! I think it's on Netflix, but Back and Forth isn't. I happened to catch it once on VH1.
