Hopefully is a live take, they used to do that in their videos. The Sirens video performance is great.
I don't usually care for their live performance videos at this point but I like this song enough that I'd enjoy one, especially if they play the hell out of it

Oh I love them

He also had “an Ecstasy phase” at some point and even tried recording some techno. “I was listening to all this stuff on Ecstasy.
But I was wondering, ‘Are they writing it on Ecstasy?’ I decided that the pure way to do it is to actually take Ecstasy, and then write Ecstasy music,” he says, laughing. “That didn’t work out. But I enjoyed the Ecstasy.”
That's all that's said about that, far as I can tell.

Always just assumed after reading this interview, at the time, that Severed Hand was referencing the same experiences

Ed played one of his Ecstasy songs during the outro of the show he was DJing on PJ Radio a while back (at least I think it was PJ Radio)
There was a recording of it going around at the time. Anyone still have it? I remember it sounded pretty cool.

Seconded. There's some electronic influence on Earthling and I generally dig it.

Severed Hand was inspired by an ayahuasca trip during pearl jam's first south american tour. i remember part of the lyrics were on a fan club thing before the song came out. also, eddie vedder describes tripping better than anyone i've ever heard.
