Can’t wait to hear more tracks from Beck’s upcoming album Modern Guilt before July 8?

So, there’s this Pearl Jam superfan who got to follow the band on their little 2008 tour, which he got to blog about on Spin.

Since the Jersey natives are on the road this summer, and have a new album coming out sometime this year, then it seems like a perfect opportunity for an FYI on Blues Traveler.

The Jesus and Mary Chain will release a box set on September 30 through Rhino Records.

When Pearl Jam announced that they were doing an east coast tour, I made up my mind to go to four shows (which was all I could pretty much afford). The two shows in Camden, NJ were an obvious pick, but I was stuck for the next pair of shows. I was all about making a road trip to Boston, but when the band announced that they were playing Madsion Square Garden, it became a no brainier on where I was going to go.

Amazon released a 2:02 long teaser video for Beck’s upcoming album Modern Guilt, which comes out on July 8.

The Verve has announced the title and release date for their first album since 1997’s Urban Hymns.

Billy Corgan has hinted that he will be releasing a Gish box set in honor of it’s 17th anniversary.

After over two long years Pearl Jam returned to the Philly area with back to back shows at the now Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ on June 19 & 20. Needless to say, I was extremely excited to get my Pearl Jam fix and I wasn’t disappointed with the two electric shows that the boys treated us to.

FYI will have to be a repeat this week cause Pearl Jam took too much out of me last night, plus I need a second wind for another night with the guys.

Summer will officially arrive this Saturday, but with this beautiful weather, summer has been here for a while. With that, let’s do a chill summer playlist from alternative rock bands. Just to prove that the 90’s were more than drugs, depression and rainy days.

I was trying real hard to avoid listening to any Pearl Jam before I see them this week, and next, but I just can’t help myself.

The Slip will become available in CD form on July 22, with a vinyl release on August 5.
