There was a recording of it going around at the time. Anyone still have it? I remember it sounded pretty cool.
Never heard of this before.
Someone else must surely remember this. We discussed it on this very message board!
Weirdly, I have no recollection of this.

Wreckage, Something Special, Got to Give are described as being slower, I suppose.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

Though Setting Sun was also described as a cross between songs that would fall on the slower side, so I'm not really sure.

Btw, I've seen someone post on Reddit that Wreckage could be released next week. Source: 'Was mentioned on “The Touring Fan Live” podcast last night dudes are legit with information'.

It’s all gone to his head. One thread of adulation and he’s gone.

Sometime between roughly 8-15 years ago, Ed hosted a radio show where he played a bunch of his favorite songs. Someone on here (or the old board probably) shared a link to the whole show, and I downloaded it and burned it to a CD so I could listen to it in the car. I remember he played a Fugazi song I hadn’t heard and I really liked. At the end, when he was saying his goodbyes, he played an instrumental electronic song in the background and then let it play for a short bit after that.

He didn’t outright say “this is one of my ecstasy songs”, but something along the lines of “this is a little something I had made” and WE ALL concluded that it must be one of his ecstasy songs.

And then I woke up, I guess.
