With Record Store Day a little over a month away, its organizers have released "The List" – a collection of all the rare, curious and limited-edition items that will be available in independent music shops. Foo Fighters, Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney, U2, Brian Wilson and Bruce Springsteen are among the artists with notable releases coming out on April 18th.
In celebration of their 20th anniversary (and because Dave Grohl is this year's Record Store Day Ambassador), Foo Fighters are putting out Songs From the Laundry Room, a 10-inch containing four tracks, including demos of "Big Me" and "Alone + Easy Target," a cover of Kim Wilde's peppy new-wave hit "Kids in America" and the previously unreleased "Empty Handed." FooFightersLive has posted the release's ostensible artwork, which was featured in the U.K. magazine Kerrang!, and reports the tunes were recorded in Laundry Room Studio by Barrett Jones, who co-produced Foo Fighters' debut album. If this recording is like the album, Grohl plays all of the instruments himself.
