Same. I know it's going to happen, but it just hasn't yet.
Side note: This song is really fun (and easy) to play on guitar and also just noodle around to.

hasn't for me yet either, but it worked really well as an opener last night - probably will click for next time I listen to the studio version

Pendulum was played on the show blacklist last night. Maybe it will make a jump in the charts line future days did after being on greys anatomy.

What is blacklist? Did the song seem to work pretty well?

I never enjoy hearing pearl jam songs in movies/tv shows because I focus on the music to the exclusion of what is happening on screen.

Not that this comes up much

Blacklist is a new crime show on NBC. Good show and the song actually worked well for where it was played at the end of the episode.

Was it during the credits or just the ending episode?

It was to end the episode. Still during the show but near the end. I think it was the whole song which is somewhat surprising.

I kinda liked the movie, and love the soundtrack, but every place a song appeared was jarring. I agree with the into the furnace guy who said release didn't work for that reason

Yeah it was the whole song. It is a decent show, for network TV anyway. James Spader overacts in it, but the premise of the show is good.

The slightly amusing thing about this scene is that, just like the scene from Grey's Anatomy which used "Future Days", a portion of it plays loudly over a silent montage. It's like it's saying 'Guys! Guys! That song you're hearing? Listen, it's Pearl Jam!'
