It's September 19, 2005. If you were paying attention on May 28, I wrote an entry in which I alluded to the fulfillment of a dream this night that I will write about tomorrow. Although I can't share many details, everything is falling into place quite nicely. This is going
On September 19, I'll be at the ACC seeing Pearl Jam for the fourth time. Mere hours after the last encore, the band will release 192 bitrate non-DRM digital downloads of their live shows exclusively at www.pearljam.com for $9.99 USD. First of all, I'm most delighted by
I've taken dozens of notes and mulled the options for months but I've finally done it. I've managed to arrive at a list of ten songs that might just be my ten favourite tracks of all-time. This was no easy feat. I started with a short list of about fifty

The Pearl Jam pre-sale was a disaster, but the general sale this morning worked out fine. I've secured tickets for Pearl Jam as an "in case of emergency" backup plan. You see, I'm hoping I never have to use this ticket. I've got a Kramer-esque scheme in place that, if
Pearl Jam tickets were available to Inside Edge members at 10:00 this morning. I'm an Inside Edge member, and I was ready at 09:58 to secure the presale password and hit Ticketmaster.ca to score tix to their September show at the ACC. As you may know, I'm
When I started having kids, I realized I'd have to slash the entertainment budget. At that time I made a decision there were only two bands I'd pay to see perform live. One is The Tragically Hip and the other is Pearl Jam. I just received some great news about
Ed and the boys are quietly working on their next studio album. Matt Cameron told Rolling Stone, "There's a lot more up-tempo stuff. It's a lot more rockin' than our last one." Some new songs in consideration are "Severed Hand," "Worldwide Suicide," "2X4," "Marker," "Cold Concession" and "Unemployable". I'm thinking
Pearl Jam is set to release its first ever greatest hits album, entitled "rearviewmirror", on November 16. The 33 track record will feature two discs, "Upside" and "Downside," featuring up-tempo songs as well as slower ballads, respectively. I've been curious as to which 33 tracks would make the cut ever
I just heard Green Day's latest single, "American Idiot". It's clearly a Dubya-inspired ditty. Below is a taste of the lyrics. Well, maybe I'm the faggot America I'm not a part of a redneck agenda Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along in the age of paranoiaIt got me
CFNY Edge 102 didn't air Mike McCready's preview of tracks from "Live at Benaroya Hall" last night but if I heard correctly they'll be airing it tonight at 22:00 EDT. If you don't live in the GTA, you can listen online.
Remember when I told you about Pearl Jam's first ever full-length, mostly acoustic live show being released on a double disc CD entitled "Live at Benaroya Hall". It's due July 27th and Mike McCready will preview tracks from the double album via a live, one-hour radio broadcast beginning 20:00
As readers of this site already know, Pearl Jam is releasing "Live at Benaroya Hall October 22, 2003" on July 27th. If you don't want to wait that long, there is another option fellow Jammers may want to consider. The double disc set will be available for a special pre-order
There has never been an official Pearl Jam acoustic release. Every Pearl Jam fan has a bootleg of their awesome MTV Unplugged performance from 12 years ago, but for whatever reason it was never released as an album. Eddie and the boys unplugged produced a simply awesome sound. Pearl Jam
Speaking of the devils, Pearl Jam will release their first ever greatest hits album before Christmas. I'm not so interested in the disc itself because I already possess everything they've released and more, but I'm very curious as to what the tracklist will look like. Assuming they go with a
Following the finale of Friends, I wrote this entry bashing yet another unfunny episode of the most overrated show in history. I mentioned there was a minute of the show I did like and that was when I heard the familiar opening chords to Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter". I was
I watched the "Friends" finale last night. It was just as bland and unfunny as I remembered it. Nothing even remotely exciting or interesting happened. Talk about playing it safe. The most shocking development was the fact the girl from "Scary Movie" had twins. Wow. My absolute favourite part of
The Golden Globe nominations came out today. I was going to write about this fact and list the nominees for the major awards, but it was a bunch of movies I hadn't seen and a bunch of television shows I don't watch. Sure, there's the odd exception like "Six Feet
"I got scratches all over my arms. One for each day since I fell apart." - Pearl Jam, Footsteps
Music peaked in 1991-1994. Specifically, the days between the release of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and the moment a self-inflicted gunshot pierced Kurt Cobain's brain. There is little doubt of this fact. Here we are in the year 2002..almost 2003 and this music from the early 90's "grunge"
