We're annoyed at his apparent need to insert himself into the legacy of every dead musician he ever crossed paths with.
Is that some form of necrophilia?
Legacy Necrophilia = Pearl Jam's 11th album.

Isn't legacy necrophilia basically what being a Pearl Jam fan is in 2013?

Of course, but it's not enough that it's a phenomenon; it must be commemorated in a special edition vinyl package only available from 10 Club.

It should be a coffin-shaped box with ten 7" vinyls featuring Pearl Jam re-recording their 20 most popular songs in a 2014 session featuring Boom on organ and BO'B on piano (on every single track). The box will have a hole for you to stick your junk in while you listen along. The artwork for each 7" will be then turned into a series of posters which will be sold discreetly on ebay by Tim Bierman under the account name "BeirManoftheHour."

Man, I really like Swallowed Whole. I think it's their best song in awhile!

Swallowed Whole was my initial fav on the record, it grabbed me right away. I think My Father's Son and Yellow Moon are both ahead of it now, though, those two have just gotten better with each listen.

In the poll above, just changed by favorite tune to "Pendulum." Sorry, Getaway, I still dig you, but "Pendulum" is best.

I love how Ed signs Pendulum live, too. :thumbsup:
