this song soundslike Mymorningjacket with Srv sitting in. With Scott Stap singing from inside a honey bucket with a plastic bag tied over his head sing

Yes!

Thanks man. I don't need to listen to it now, I can hear inside my mind thanks to your description.

[Whitey McTeeth]

Anyone else hearing the B-52s influence?

[Tj]

Song is called "I hear sirens cause I just smothered Scott Stap with my morning jacket behind the counter in a drug store"

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Anyone else hearing the B-52s influence?

Oh god no, please don't say that.

[Jorge]

I'd be thrilled if Pearl Jam ever did anything resembling the B52s.

[PHATJ]

I'd be thrilled if Pearl Jam ever did anything resembling the B52s.

Of course you would

[WtOB?]

I'd be thrilled if Pearl Jam ever did anything resembling the B52s.

As much as I love the B52s, that'd end up sounding like Backspacer again.

[Norah]

I'd be thrilled if Pearl Jam ever did anything resembling the B52s.

At the very least they could cover REM's Me In Honey.

[Birds in Hell]

So we're clear, this song sounds a lot like:

Tremor Christ

Force of Nature

Falling Down

Open Road

2000 Mile Blues

chinese

Garden

Sleight of Hand

In Hiding

Gone

Nothing As It Seems

Smile

[Sgt. Crackpot]

You know if this track is some kind of jam/improv, I reckon PJ should just do an entire album of improv tracks. Just jump in the studio with nothing written or planned, and play. They could end up with their best album to date, or at least something miles better than their last couple of albums.

you missed at least a couple there.

I wish. They are way too goddamn precious about their material though.

There's something a little Song X about it too. Put down Song X.

[BurtReynolds]

the problem is that these things will eventually have a thick glossy coating of production drool plastered all over them, and the life will be sucked out.

[hailroad]

I hear some of Force of Nature, but I also hear a heavy influence of Truth Be Known from Mirror Ball. The pacing and guitar work really remind me of those two songs. It's about a step slower than FoN and is a bit more ominous than Truth Be Known though.

Or it could something else

If it gets anywhere close to Song X, I will be ecstatic. IMHO, next to Truth Be Known, Song X is the best song on Mirror Ball.

So are we saying this song might not be "derivative" or "generic"?
