NME, always the first to a story, reports that a runaway truck hit Smart Studios, the home base of producer and drummer for Garbage, Butch Vig. (The photo was taken by Garbage singer Shirley Manson.) Garbage is currently recording an album and the accident could have been much worse. Said Vig, "If it had been three days earlier, there would have been a band called Paris Texas in the downstairs studio and Garbage would have been upstairs. It would have killed them."

NME points out Nirvana's 1990 Smart Sessions resulted in the album verion of "Polly" (he produced the entire Nevermind album, which was recorded in L.A. in May and June of 1991). L7, Son Volt, Jayhawks, Poster Children, Beck and Smashing Pumpkins have also recorded at Smart.
