I’m a Husband, father and working shmo. The wife and took a second mortgage to buy tickets to n2 at Fenway in September. Favorite pj album, right now, is binaural, though I find something to love on each release. really enjoyed the banter, humor, and great insight and analysis on these boards. Very much looking forward to new release. Anyways, hi.
Yo!

Wish I could visit Boston one day again.
Happy times!

I noticed your username. What is preferred speaker set up? Dolby Atmos? Quality bookshelf speakers? Bluetooth headphones? Your phone's speakers? Your answer is very important.
Ha. “Headinspeakers” is a reference to a lyric of the national’s tune “day that I die” … “years and years I used to put my head inside the speakers in the hallway when you’d get too high and talk forever”. Great song and band. I am no audiophile but I’m trying to be. I need a guide …. Please help me. Bottom line though, If I want to really listen and focus, I retreat to office where I have a pair of klipsch reference RP-600Ms with a subwoofer. Sounds great to me. Refuse to listen to music over phone speakers.

Tongue in cheek. Having never purchased tickets to a Pearl Jam show though, I was ….. surprised thirsty, and I’d like at the cost.

I tried to tell you. :) You don't cannibalize a successful single with a second one until you have to. Especially with the album still 5 weeks away.

Strap in because it ain't coming next week either.

last year my favourite band released half their album 2 weeks apart, shooting them to superstardom from relative obscurity; I respect what you told me but I honestly don't think "you don't" anything; there are more ways than one to skin a cat, and Pearl Jam's album release methods have always been wildly archaic; pretty sure they could go "fuck it, here it is, two months earlier than promised", and YouTube reaction channels would do all of the promotion work for them

I think they're on track for a pretty typical rollout by releasing one this week or next week, with a third single getting pushed right around
