Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Mine]

I could really go for a Stone and/or Jeff interview about LB

I just want to hear all of the songs. I can't remember when was the last time any of them said anything interesting interesting in an interview so i couldn't care less and I'm extremely curious about everything from song writing to mixing and mastering.

Sometimes shit just works like clockwork in the studio... sometimes it doesn't. Studio time is expensive, even for Pearl Jam.

This is hilarious. Thank you.

you're welcome.

Isn't LB being released on the 11th somewhere? I think most other countries are getting it before the states....

I hope to have this thing before I run a Ragnar relay next weekend, wouldn't mind trekking to some LB.

Australia and Germany only as far as i can tell. I don't know why Germany has an earlier release date then the rest of Europe. Maybe Angela is a fan.

Cool thanks for the info, that is strange, worst case is it'll leak that week. Pretty sure BS leaked about 2 weeks out from the official release.

They will be streaming the album at the Town Hall thing on Sirius on October 3. http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/181260/9

It'll be interesting to see if it leaks before then

Well you can anticipate a leak shortly afterwards. It's very easy to capture streaming audio and convert to mp3 or whatever.

That's the one issue why I'm hesitant to listen much after the stream. Sirius has decent quality music, but I don't know if they'll be streaming a mic'd up version of it coming out of a boombox or whatever setup they have in the studio, since they're playing the 'Town Hall' meeting itself, and not necessarily playing the songs like a station normally would.

[Iowaska_Experience]

Wait, so they're actually broadcasting that on Sirius nationwide? I thought they were just playing it for the town hall winners, like the pre-release parties in Europa.

[Lament]

Damn. I can't listen to Sirius.

If I can figure out what my password to play Sirius online is, I'll loan it to you.

That would be great.

That link I posted seems to imply that we'll be hearing the album.

[Django Butterworth]

I don't think they are playing the album on air. Their promotion is to attend a listening party and ask the band a question.

[jforte20]

Not sure they're gonna stream it live..it really doesnt say

http://www.siriusxm.com/pearljamradio

This has an airtime of Friday, October 11th at noon.

[Iowaska_Experience]

They may just play the album for the attendees, but the Q&A will be broadcast:

"This very special event will take place the evening of Thursday, October 3 at a secret location in Seattle. It will air on the band's SiriusXM channel, Pearl Jam Radio, and will be moderated by Lightning Bolt producer Brendan O'Brien.

The band will answer questions about their entire body of work, including their much-anticipated tenth studio album, Lightning Bolt. In addition, the audience attending the Town Hall will hear the Lightning Bolt album in its entirety well before it's released on October 15."

That would be really lame, but I think you may be right. The article doesn't say anything about the stream of the show being 'live'.

[harmless]

I'm not sure I want to hear Brendan O'Brien talk for that long.

[stupidmop]

Are they gonna take questions live? Or filter them or something. They gotta weed out all the 'Eddie I want your babies' and 'BoB why are you such a prick?' Questions.

I bet someone asks ed about smoking.
