For obvious reasons, we're never going to get a Nirvana reunion. But on the next Foo Fighters album, we'll get the closest possible thing.

In an interview with Radio 1's Zane Lowe, former Nirvana drummer/current Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl revealed that his ex-Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic will guest on bass on the new Foo Fighters record. The band is currently at work on the album, recording in Grohl's garage. Butch Vig, who produced Nirvana's Nevermind, is behind the boards. That means we've got three of the four people most responsible for Nevermind, all on one record together. A few days ago, the Foo Fighters' Twitter posted a photo of all three together.

In that interview, Grohl says that the band is about halfway through recording the album and that they're doing it "totally old school analog... In the 14 songs there's not one acoustic guitar, there's not even one in the house... This whole project has been really cool. I haven't made a record with Butch for 20 years."

Grohl also says that the band is making a movie about making the album. Meanwhile, the Foo Fighters will play a pair of gigantic stadium shows, their first in a few years, next July 2-3 at England's Milton Keynes Bowl.
