B-side of the new single that we get in the bundle is Can’t Deny Me. Takers?
The description indicates there is no b-side.

A dark moody PJ song with synths. Sounds fantastic.
Wasn't that the same redditor that said the album had a track on it called "You're Fired!" ....

More than likely he/she heard the song title doing the rounds and added it to the bogus list.
No this guy on reddit never said that tracklist. That was lecherouslittlestump who made that shit up here. This guy on reddit said the name of the single on Friday and that his friend's wife works at spotify and had heard it. He since deleted his post.
Ah gotcha. Thanks for bringing me up to speed. So did he also describe it as dark and moody with synths? This is sounding better and better.

He said

"It's a lower tempo song. A very present synth throughout. Dark vibe with a constant drum beat which sounds almost 80's new wave style in it's production"

mm that sounds real good. I think we get a taste for those synths in the teaser for Gigaton.

No b-side!?

Pearl Jam in the 20’s “we believe in sustainability and even have an album devoted to global warming...and we only use one side of the plastic for music.”

That is what I did for San Diego. Going to enter at least one other (Baltimore or NYC) but hoping to hear more about what they say is "best available" before I do.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But if it helps, for NYC, you can click "Best Available" and it out fills in both GA and Seating. For NYC it also highlights which sections they are reserving Fan Club Seats in. So you know which sections you definitely won't get stuck with (like behind the stage, etc).
in prior years, when you went for tickets, you could note that GA is your first priority and if you didnt get those, you would accept reserved tickets (as second priority).

Not this year. it seems.
Yeah, that is a bummer that there isn't a priority option.
It is and it isn't.

“We found ourselves asking, what does it mean to be Pearl Jam in 2020?” guitarist Stone Gossard shared with the Associated Press.
“We could do the expected thing and pump out, you know, ten or eleven songs that are solid but sound like slightly retooled versions of things we've done before. Or we could try to make something a little more ambitious, a little more personal.”
“I wanted to do the expected thing,” Vedder laughed. “He did,” Gossard responded tersely. “He really did.”
This is wonderful.

I only put in for NYC. The only other plausible city is Baltimore and that’s a big stretch. I winder if they will add a second date.

Yeah, just incredibly lazy more than anything. Why would anyone care about having the radio edit of DoC on. 7 inch?

Finally, something to talk about!


Don't care for the title or the name of the first single but none of that matters. What do we know about the guy producing it?
