Yes, indeeedy...., a very magical time of the year indeed. Didn't figure I'd get into the spirit, but somehow it's happened. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Everybody have a wonderful New Year & a very happy Christmas. I hope everybody gets exactly what they want:)
I can remember as a kid being soooo disappointed at the end of 1 w/ the "To be continued..." logo flashing just before the end credits...and you people know how kids are, the next few years between 1 and 2 seemed like an eternity. By the time 2 came out, I didn't care anymore. Wasn't until they...
Ohhhhh...I see. It's been a few months since reading about it.
It's too bad about Wes being cut from the movie, however. Although I never *loved* young Crusher as a character, I didn't loathe him like many do. In fact, some of his later appearances during the program's run were pretty decent...
, but it was cut for whatever reason. Evidently the film was originally nearly 3 hours. Suppposed to be on the DVD. I'd read about it on (don't laugh)Wil's website a few months ago. He seemed (at the time anyway) more than slightly disapointed.
I saw Mudhoney open for PJ in '98, & they were pretty cool. I'd like to be there for the Steve Earle opening night. He's really great. A singer/songwriter who has in the past has recorded w/ another great Seattle-based band "The Supersuckers" (who, btw, have recorded a few songs w/ Ed in the...
From www.theskyiscrape.com, a pretty reliable site for PJ news:
The next single from Riot Act, Save You, will make its way onto the radio on December 10th (possibly a radio-only single). The song is an edited version, muting out any expletives (no 'kcuf you' like Letterman this time ).
The...
Brian grumbled:
I agree.
While RA hasn't achieved Yield status for me (which I think is thier most well-rounded album to date), I think it's pretty durn close.
To think, a few months ago when there were rumors around claiming that Riot Act would be more "Ten"-esque I had nightmares of...
I've barely given it a spin & a half so far, but from what I've heard, it's okay.
My wife asked how it was & I said "Cornell w/ Rage", in fact, I think that's what they should have called the band. ;)
I think it's more than slightly ironic that in Cobain's journals he was complaing about PJ being all corporate & whatnot, and here we are a decade later & it's Cobain himself being exploited by corporate greed and and a money hungry widow. A video in heavy rotation on corporate giant Mtv, a...
Sigh. Every post grunge-era Pearl Jam album resurfaces these kind of talks. Why isn't X better than Y? Why couldn't they have done X like Y? Why isn't Ed/Mike/Stone/Jeff/Current Drummer better than they were on Y? Honestly, I'm surprised people want to talk in circles about something...
Odd...., I think it's their most mature effort....does that mean best, I don't know....
How anyone could listen to these songs, especially the ones where Mike totally goes off, and doesn't get a little of that PJ pride...well, it makes me wonder...
Typically, I don't think in terms of...
Don't know about a full fledged review just yet. I've listened to the album 7 or 8 times since Monday, and I've enjoyed it more & more upon each spin. I never try to "rank" PJ albums, b/c they each have something special for me. "Riot Act" is a damn good rock record, however. Give me...
My local 'Mom & Pop' is getting it tomorrow. My wife has off for Vet's Day, but I have to work until 5:30. She knows the rules, however...It's mine to open:)
Only 24 more hours!!!!
Just a week or so away from release date: 11/12/02 (for those of you who've resisted the temptation to download the album!) Here's a neat review from the Boston Globe... Pearl Jam wants to be loved again After a decade of lying low, the band returns to its rock roots with 'Riot Act'...
The new video is indeed a travesty. The first thing I thought was Kurt rolling in the grave (although, I believe he was cremated). I'm staying far away from the greatest hits CD. No need to line Courtney's pockets w/ any more cash...unfortunately, she'll get a cut of the boxed set money...
Then show me a PG-13 movie that is scary, psycologically stimulating, and good. Do movies need explicit violence and nudity to be good? No. All I was saying is that they had a decent premise for a great flim, but they seemed to go for the lame "boo"/kid-friendly, faux horror, IMO. That...
I saw it last night & thought it was just okay. Not scary enough IMO. Lots of 'boo' moments, however. Great atmosphere, but unfortunately, I viewed the film with a room full of 14 year olds who thought it was the most horrifying thing they've ever witnessed--so that ruined some of the...
It's slightly ironic that this thread should pop up, because half of these songs listed have been running on a loop through my head the last week. I think I have something terminal. When you've got a "Somebody's Watching Me"/"Safety Dance" medley going though your noggin', then one must have...
Typically, I'll buy my music at Best Buy (just because it's cheaper than 90% of the other record stores), but they really let me down with this release. Only TWO copies ordered...all gone when I got there... ("Twenty more on the way!" OH, and no Pearl Jam "I Am Mine" single...
My wife and I got rear ended by some idiots the day before our one year anniversary this past June. We were in her Jetta & they were in a motor home (which was hauling a car behind it). These people, who had no business driving such a large vehicle w/ such a heavy load, waited too long to break...
Thanks for the info Anthony! I really appreciate it! I was able to download a pretty clear version of the acoustic version off of Kaaza yesterday...still looking for the Big Band version on there! Thanks everybody!
LOL....you can find the lyrics here:)

I like lots of different bands, and various types of music, but I always seem to come back to Pearl Jam as my favorite. I have friends that jokingly tell me that Pearl Jam could do a full-length album of "toilet sounds"...
