I suppose you could say that about a lot of "rock" bands, though.
I don't know, I think the guy just likes Pearl Jam, amongst many other types of bands and genres of music. We only discussed Pearl Jam when I noticed his t-shirt. The rest of the time, we talked about any number of other bands.

This seems like a very valid point to me, even though it seems like a vague statement. Something about it intuitively makes sense.
The vocal drone thing was actually kind of cool, thinking about it now. They did have a distinctive sound that way. Do you think that approach might have been influenced by Jane's at all? I'd like to hear the collaboration with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (to whom I'm listening now.)
I've also realized I like in retrospect: The Tragically Hip.

Their music: classic. Stone Gossard's record label: classic. Eddie Veddar's duet with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (who he studied with at one point) on the Dead Man Walking soundtrack: classic.

I don't understand the Pearl Jam hatred. Compared to other bands on the radio like Nickelback, Creed and Fuel, they're the Beatles, Elvis and Dave Clarke 5 combined.
They're also one of the best cover bands around, with killer versions of Let My Love Open the Door, and tons of others. Eddie Vedder does a great version of X's Poor Girl, backed by teh Supersuckers.

OK, I have to admit I really dig the opening trio on their new record. They've gone all Accelerate on us, 11 tracks in 36 minutes.

'Fixer' has a great Replacement-y feel that they haven't really done before...I'm really excited to hear the rest of the album.
― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 18 September 2009 18:08 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah...the idea of PJ of all bands doing kind of a tight poppy almost new wave record is strangely appealing

New album arrived today...the fast songs are awesome, so tight and rocking, like they're digging around in their rock/punk/metal roots finally. The slower tempo ones are pretty cool...only jarring note is the one that sounds like an outtake from Into The Wild. Not a bad thing, just kind of glaring. But overall, cool!! Can easily throw this on repeat. Easily, and happily. And occasionally dance while I'm doing it!

I like Pearl Jam but we all agree this is the worst album cover of 2009, right?

Someone in my work Slack is helping a friend sell a pair of tix for Kylie Minogue in Las Vegas; in addition to the ticket price, the venue imposes a $500 food/beverage minimum for the table – which I thought was pretty funny. (I looked it up, and turns out that's just for a 2-person table; the minimum escalates to $1,000 for four seats, and higher for more.)

On the other end of things, I saw that Matthew Sweet was coming to town, and tickets are $35, and ... that feels about right! But I bet he could have pitched a "Plays 'Girlfriend' In Its Entirety" concert and charged more.

I heard the single, or what must be the single, a few days ago in the car and had no idea it was them. It sounded like some sort of other alt rock song from the late '90s.
