But does Ed? Hell, I think of myself as pretty tech savvy, but it'd take me a week or two to figure that out. Especially considering, there's no way most of these people had the software to do this on their computers in February.

Outside of his artistic integrity and contributions to the many things which have tickled his fancy, the work on Mirrorball is thunderous. Not saying it’s better than his other achievements but it’s my personal favourite and he continues to innovate.
And to think he was the number one target for the scenesters way back when.

oh yeah i always found stupid and risible for them to point out Jeff. Just doesnt make any sense.
And i always found Jeff´s work ethics admirable. An inspiration.

Listening to Acts right now.
What a great album. And the vinyl is sweet.

Ghost Riding is even better. Acts is excellent also though. One of those bands I hope to get a chance to see once this thing is over and then Pearl Jam tours and goes on a break and this happens.

Agreed. My favorite of the bands featuring members of Pearl Jam that made multiple albums together (ie, Three Fish, Brad, etc.). Seems like not big company, but really to say I like this best other than Temple of the Dog and Mad Season.

Jeff really holds the band together live, along with Matt. Eddie, Stone and Mike make countless mistakes every show, but it is very rare to hear a Jeff flub.

In the days following the postponement of our tour, I found it necessary to find an outlet for the energy we had created going into the tour. Pivot was the word of March. So, every morning, I retreated to the studio with the goal of writing a song every day, no matter how shite. Days of isolating and watching the news of the destruction courtesy the virus (and the ineptitude of our leadership or as named here, the American Death Squad) made for vivid dreams and a helplessness. These were some of the first songs out of the gate. Raw and succinct.

I haven’t listened but Spotify has it as 5 songs and a total of 6 minutes. Is that possible?

He wasn't joking when he described the songs as "succinct".

Nothing like making Lukin sound like Cortez the Killer in comparison.
