In a new interview with the NME, Dave Grohl reveals that while organizing his Sound City project, he reached out to PJ Harvey about covering Nirvana songs with the band's other founding members. "Someone came up with the idea of doing a Nirvana song with PJ Harvey," Grohl told the music magazine. "Kurt [Cobain] loved her and we love her and we thought, 'Yeah, what would we do?' I said: 'God, what if we were to do 'Milk It' from In Utero with Polly singing?' We all looked at each other like, 'Woah, that would be amazing . . .' and then she couldn't do it!" Grohl added that he has always been wary of performing Nirvana songs in concert. "The thing is, it's sacred ground," he told the NME. "If we were ever to do something like that it would have to be right because you want to pay tribute. There's a reason Foo Fighters don't do Nirvana songs, and it's a good reason."
