Totally Off-topic but fun - Sound City Studios Documentary

I watched this the other night.  A true hole-in-the-wall studio that turned out massive hits.  Shag carpet on the walls.  Dirty.  In a warehouse district in Van Nuys (I think).  Turned out tons of gold and platinum recordings by Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Neil Young... many others.

Proves you don't have to have state-of-the-art facilities.  They did however have a "magical Neve board".   Of course, we all have Neve equipment don't we?

    I loved that doc. 
    Combined with "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown," and "Muscle Shoals," there's been a great push towards recognizing the history of these recording icons.
