that cha-ching of fire

I wonder how often anyone in the band thinks about "what happened" here.

Ed loves cash

Johnny Cash

There’s a certain big swing to Ten that they never tried to replicate and I know a bunch of folks spent the 90s wishing they’d take another swing at a Ten, but I always respected that they made the music that felt right for them in their present moment.

Absolutely. I wouldn’t trade what they did for the next 12 years for anything.

Springsteen will be announcing a Vote For Change-esque tour tomorrow. Will PJ join? Neil Young is supposedly involved...

That doesn’t seem quite right. And didn’t Neil just cancel his whole tour?

My "Pearl Jam Project" with my 7-year-old has progressed all the way through all studio albums, B-sides, singles, soundtrack appearances, and now, today, "that which shall not be discussed."

Where / how can I listen to Present Tense redux?

MLB was not good.

[liebzz]

MLB was not good.

Here’s the thing - if you compare them to TotD, or Pearl Jam, that is a fair statement, but if you treat them like their own separate thing, and take away that baggage, they were a pretty solid alt rock band akin to a Jane’s Addiction (not as good nor am I suggesting they were).

On the TotD tour in 2016, I got to see a lot of the MLB songs live with Chris Cornell and it was exceptional. So the songs were there.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i like MLB enough. Of course i listened to them because of Jeff and Stone, but i grew to actually like the band and how joyful Andy is in most of them.

Capricorn Sister, Stardog Champion, Holly Roller, of course Chole Dancer/Chrown Of Thorns, This is ShangriLa, Come Bite The Apple and Stargazer are all favs of mine.

Apparently March 10th is the anniversary of the day Mookie Blaylock announced they were changing their name to Pearl Jam in 1991.

Ah, the day they stopped naming themselves after an NBA All-Star and chose a name they could make up endless stories about. Has anyone done a 23 and Me to determine if there was an aunt Pearl in Eddie’s family history? Or tracked down the setlist of the purported Neil Young show in New York?

I was listening to Waiting for Stevie on my way into work this AM, as I do from time to time, and I was struck by how lucky I am that I have a band who speaks to who I am now, rather than simply helps me remember who I was then.
