Pearl Jam Do The Evolution

pearljam-backspacer

September 20th marked the release of Pearl Jam’s ninth studio album ‘Backspacer’. From start to finish this album brings out some classic Pearl Jam and also shows a mature side to the alt grunge rockers. Clocking in at 37 minutes in length it is definitely their shortest album to date and there is no shortage of quality music on this album.

During their Toronto stop last month they played two new tracks, the single The Fixer and Got Some. Both tracks were received well by the crowd and listening to the tracks more, it’s no wonder why since they are both great tracks.

Pearl Jam Rocked Toronto

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Pearl Jam rolled into Toronto Friday night playing a jammed packed Molson Amphitheatre for more than two hours! From the opening notes of Of The Girl I knew that this was going to be one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. This was my second time seeing the grunge rockers and it was definitely better than the first time I saw them.

Friday’s show was filled with great 90’s classics like Even Flow, Black, Alive, Corduroy and endless guitar solos from Mike McCready.

News for Thursday: Odd Jobs and Dead Ends Edition

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

* Everyone’s favourite musical trio (no, no, no, it’s the Jonas Brothers) have postponed their upcoming Mexican concert. One guess why.

* Awww, isn’t that nice? Lindsay Lohan has found another acting job. Now she can stop bumming around the tabloid section every day and be productive for a while. We hope.

* The Hills cast are speaking out about losing Lauren Conrad and replacing her with Kristin Cavallari, formerly of Laguna Beach. Not everyone is thrilled… but what else is new on Reality TV?

* SO CONFUSED! 50 Cent and Bette Midler are “thrilled” about recording a song together. This is so crazy it has to be true, I couldn’t make this kinda weird stuff up if I tried!

* Just days before Relapse hits the streets, you can download Eminem’s very first album Infinite, for free… from 50 Cent’s website? I wonder if Slim Shady asked Elton John (yes, really) for advice on that, too.

* In the midst of the recording process, Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament got majorly mugged. The dumb part: the whole thing was caught on tape, but no arrests have been made yet. Does that mean all those spy cams in my house are useless too?
