Al did a great post last year about Pearl Jam’s Late Show With David Letterman appearances, so I thought I’d rip the idea from him and entertain you with the band’s Saturday Night Live appearances.

In 2002 Pearl Jam released the album Binaural. The title of the album refers to the recording style they used to produce a unique sound, replicating the way a human takes in sound through our two ears.

One of the things often mentioned about Pearl Jam is the time the band has spent de-constructing their own success. By the mid-90’s, Pearl Jam was pretty much the biggest rock band around, and from what I’ve heard, they were not too happy with it.

Pre-Release from New Album Streamed Every Two Seconds on First Day

Judas Priest, on the verge of releasing their first new album in 3 years, pre-released the title track to “Nostradamus” via the ReverbNation TuneWidget on April 21st to a throng of hungry fans. The TuneWidget was initially placed on only four websites but allowed fans to grab it and embed it on their MySpace pages and blogs, leading to over 200,000 impressions on launch day alone.

While catching up on my blog reader I noticed an a post from Andrew Dubber of New Music Strategies about a recent Futuresonic event he attended.

Pearl Jam have been known to supply us with classic rock covers over the years, adding songs from greats such as Neil Young and The Who many times to their roaring set lists. Here’s a popular one from the Who, “Baba O’Reily” (known famously as “Teenage Wasteland”)

You’ve heard the saying before, and it’s one that I believe in. Sometimes in order to get to the next level, you have to make a sacrifice in order to make it happen.

It’s official - STP is back on my dial like it’s 1999 again. And you’re just going to have to deal with it.
