General Pearl Jam Bitching

[stip]

was it like a five horizons thing?

[Lament]

was it like a five horizons thing?

My guess would've been the old Synergy board, but 5H is probably just as likely. The term dates back pretty far, I think.

[Norah]

how is that show they plug?

The Amsterdam one? It's okay. Not the best in recent years, not the worst.

It's modern Pearl Jam so it kind of sucks.

I remember people saying it circa 1998 in ampjam and the aol pearl jam chatroom.

Yeah, I remember it being used in the AOL chat room around then as well. It was used frequently enough that I assumed people on the internet had been using it for quite some time at that point.

Yup.

Pearl Jam hasn’t released a music video in 15 years. It doesn’t do endorsements, commercials, or — heaven forbid — musicals.

Uh...

I do think it's pretty funny how Pearl Jam can lean so heavily on their reputation as a band that eschews traditional promotion and is always on the road when neither has been true for a good few years now.

Have Pearl Jam really not done a music video for fifteen years? Didn't they do one for "Life Wasted?" And "Amongst the Waves?"

Yes, yes - as well as World Wide Suicide, The Fixer and Unthought Known.

And, though it goes without saying, as to Pearl Jam not doing commercials:

[LetMeSleep]

They also licensed Unthought Known for an episode of FlashForward. It's the way of the world now. Black Sabbath's new track was in CSI:TedDansen

[bodysnatcher]

didn't they license Yellow Ledbetter to be used in "Friends"? They've been at this for a while now. As well as that "Cold Case' episode where they used all PJ songs a few years ago

[bodysnatcher]

hard. core.

[stip]

unthought known had a video?

[Birds in Hell]

unthought known had a video?

It's live footage from Berlin 2010.

[stupidmop]

Ed you fuck.

What's the worldwide suicide video?

[B]

Is it just me or is pearljam.com down?

[broken iris]

something big coming today?

[B]

something big coming today?

Moonlander announcement!

[warehouse]

im sure they are updating their online store

[broken iris]

And.... nope.

Hey, I was genuinely optimistic and excited about the possibility of big site update to announce the new album and tour. That shouldn't count as 'bitching'.

Spoiler: show

At least I don't have to rewrite my 'did pearl jam's website just change' script. Which I totally wasn't using to get the edge in tickets before the lottery
