Thank you Esquilax for this little fun fact


About UK’s The Guardian Review:

On to different story, it turns out that Dom Lawson, the man who reviewed Lightning Bolt for the Guardian UK, said in a tweet that he possibly meant to give the album 4 stars instead of 3 stars shown on the Guardian website.


This is a twitter conversation between 10club Message Pit member CloudDog23 and The Guardians Lightning Bolt reviewer Dom Lawson.

Here is what CloudDog23 mentioned on Twitter to Dom Lawson Guardian:

@CloudDog23 to
@Dom_Lawson nice @PearlJam review this morning, though it read like a 4* one not a 3* one, why only 3*s?

@Dom_Lawson to
@CloudDog23 @PearlJam Not sure. Think I meant it as a 4. Brain spasm?


Here is what another 10club member posted back to CloudDog23 on the Message Pit:

"That is quite the brain spasm for a music reviewer. All he did was post that tweet. His review is still 3-stars."

TEN CLUB RADIO'S LIGHTNING BOLT SPECIAL

Get "Struck By Lightning" with Ten Club Radio's Lightning Bolt Special - a track by track look at the new album featuring comments from the guys in the band. Hear it Tuesday 10/15 at 10am & 6pm Pacific.

Only here on Ten Club Radio on pearljam.com

Here's a raw rip of the PJ Radio special that aired today. Most of the interviews were taken from the Richards/Gleeson/Brownstein/Apatow ones, but there are a few bits here and there that haven't been heard before.

Tracks were cut automatically at points of silence, but feel free to cut up into proper tracks and reupload
