Where was this "GODDAMN I LOVE NO CODE" moment? I can't recall.

Can someone please elaborate on this?

It was on the extended Mark Richards interview I think.

Thank you, I will look for it.

I dream of having a cash cow like Pearl Jam Inc. I would pimp the shit out of that...

So, the new Lightning Bolt 7" 45's certainly fall into this category. While they didn't appear to make enough to grab too much money from the primary market release, they completely understand that the idiotic PJ collectible base will pump these things up to ridiculously stupid secondary market prices. They can just hold back a few hundred of these things for a few years, sell them for hundreds of dollars a piece and wham! there's $100K profit!

Greedy bastards

Wow

It wouldn't cost twenty five bucks to ship a tea bag priority mail.

Well, but consider the stated value for insurance coverage!? The risk to ship such a valuable item would intimidate any packing line employee, especially with the "Eddie Vedder discharge" label

I saw the whole interview now, and I loved the part where they spoke about No Code, and Ed's writing process for those songs.

Come on, I'm pretty sure that's hyperbole, even coming from you.

Regardless, it's just a shame that it's just a handful of songs from each album.

But more seriously I could add Got Some and My Father's Son. So that's 4.

Well yeah, but I assumed the implication was "These are (all) the good PJ songs from their "money-grab" phase."

maybe not the only good songs, but the best songs from the moneygrabbing phase.

..............If this is moneygrabbing PJ, then it mostly sucks balls.
