rock on the range - surprise visit by PJ?!?!?

"Let's show up somewhere and play for free," said no one in this band. "The fans will get a kick out of it."

I'm not really sure where the "free" part of this came in. The organizers have had surprise bookings before from what I understand. I am sure they would be paid if they were to show.

It's likely just a rumor that won't pan out, but it would be pretty amazing if they did show up unannounced.

releasing an album within 4 years would be a surprise for sure

In a recent interview Mike was hinting that there may be some new music sooner than later

[Lament]

Considering what Pearl Jam's appearance fee is, there is no way an organizer is "sitting on them" as a last second surprise.

Ah yes, good ol' reliable Mike

[stip]

Maybe they've finished that backspacer ep

[stip]

You know what I'd like to see, a release of the songs that were recorded over multiple sessions. So the early versions of brain of j, of the girl, parting ways, pendulum, and whatever else qualifies

[Got Some]

I'd like to hear an ep!!!

If Pearl Jam is allegedly so greedy, wouldn't it produce more records...like one every year?

They prefer to maximize the ratio of profit to effert.

I think the band is always playing tricks on Mike with that..." ey tell the press we are going to release an ep again"

[Farmer John]

Using Mike quotes = unreliable

Using Mike quotes as evidence they were intentionally writing songs to be radio hits = perfectly reliable.

Yeah, I imagine Mike as the kid in elementary who is always wanting to be in the cool group, and they convince him to do stupid shit just bc they can.

Band: "Hey, tell the press we are going to release an ep again"
Mike: "Ok!" **walks into interview**
Band: **snickers and high fives**
