I don't think I've heard my wife snort-laugh before, but she sure did when I told her that Pearl Jam's upcoming single is "Dance of the Clairvoyants."
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Also, when I read her this tweet, her response ... "Wow, not very Rock 'N Roll!"

the song title is one of the main things giving me hope b/c it's so unlike Pearl Jam.

The problem with aging rock stars is they’re old and rich, with nothing particularly relatable to say anymore. This subject matter could remedy that and reestablish passion, as they’re raging on behalf of their children and their futures.

It’s just a title so I wouldn’t say I’m worried, but it isn’t a good one

I just can't wrap my head around the phrase "dance of the clairvoyants" sounding ok while singing it.

No guarantee it’s an actual lyric.

I was thinking RHCP. Didn't they have a song called Monarchy of Roses? Goofy.

The title is super-proggy. Like it would be a Marillion track or something. What with the rumoured synths, and the need for a 7" edit version maybe this IS gonna be Pearl Jam's prog moment.

And I for one welcome our prog overlords.

The Aussies have got an awesome prog scene going on, incidentally. Pond. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.

I'd be more than happy if PJ took a leaf out of their kingsize rizlas.
