I remember about five years ago reading an interview with Ed or Mike about how they were listening to a lot of "experimental" music and named Sigur Ros. PJ should do a Sigur Ros cover album, it would be great for Boom.
I've love to hear Ed try and pull off Jonsi's vocals :lol:
God, imagine all of the strange hopelandic pronunciations. "yuuuuusiillooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

They should just cut all of the weirder moments from the new stuff and paste them all together artfully.

Is it your birthday, or were just speaking on behalf of pearl jam fans (who are not in the no leak club) whose birthday it may happen to be?
Yup 30. I feel really shitty about it too.
Be glad you at least made it this far ;). I am half your age older and really like this age. If only I was a bit more in shape and a bit richer, but those are details.

congratulations!

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like MYM is the weakest thing on LB?

You guys can use this.

This is the link it gave me when i opened a video in a new tab:

https://secure.amcnetworks.com/ifc/port ... 1260445001

I was fast going off PJ at that point, not so much with ocean references.

Oh good - I'm not the only one looking for a watchable version without having to sign back up to Facebook
no you are not
I'm trying to put off signing back up to that place.
I am on Facebook but did not have time to watch the videos yet. And if you join, be my friends. Like life, Facebook is what you make it ;).

And I could not reach my computer half of the past day, and now it's bed time again. Will try and translate those two Dutch snippets tomorrow.

I'm watching the video now (thanks for the accessible link) and it's good; not amazingly substantial but it's good to hear the band sounding like human beings instead of programmed robots for a change. When Jorge said that the dog was the best thing about the video, I have to confess I thought he was trolling, but honestly, he was right; that dog is hilarious. Also, the clip of MYM at the end of this video sounds so much better than the one I downloaded, it's not even funny. The bass and bass drum is so much more punchy. I'm guessing that reflects the album version, which has me more excited for it.

I loved the dog pictures as well, and the birds. We have cats. Dave met them last year :). Oh, and I do not know the band members pets names, or children's birthdays. Some people do.
