Music review: Pearl Jam - Ten (3 Disc Deluxe Edition)
The stuff of Pearl Jam's lyrics is the stuff of most of classic rock's lyrics. If anything, it was the sound that dated the album to a specific time, something made obvious after the band settled into a style with their next couple of albums which was ...

Music Review: Pearl Jam - Live at the Gorge 05/06
I was given a sample disc of twelve tracks ranging from the three concerts. It had songs like “Alone”, “Army Reserve”, and “Given to Fly” along with “World Wide Suicide”. From the flavor of this disc, I feel this set will sound just as clean. With each song you can hear the crowd in the background...

Music Review: Pearl Jam - Live At The Gorge (CD Box Set)
Veteran Seattle rock heroes Pearl Jam have always been fan-friendly, especially when it comes to selling their concerts. Either they do it themselves or allow fanclubs to sell bootlegs of them to the public, whether they were fantastic, sloppy, or somewhere in between.

Music Review: Pearl Jam - Live At the Gorge (7 Disc Box Set)
I've always said that these guys had a lot more Bad Company than Sex Pistols in them -- what between Vedder's rock and roll soul vocals, and the dual guitar attack of Stone Gossard and Mike McCready. And let us not forget ex-Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron. The other thing Seattle does besid...

Overlooked Alternatives: Ryan Adams, Pearl Jam, the Trio of Doom
Pearl Jam - Live At The Gorge (7 CD Box Set): I'll admit that I don't listen to Pearl Jam like I used to, but I still enjoy hearing them from time to time, especially live material where their songs can really come alive in the right instances. This set should be pretty interesting - 100 songs spr...

Music DVD Review: The Jesus Lizard - The Jesus Lizard DVD
I might as well give a little history about The Jesus Lizard before I go into detail on the DVD, in case you have no idea who I am talking about. They were around before grunge was even conceived in Seattle, forming in 1987 in Chicago. Their popularity was low key but they have influenced tons of p...

Music Review: Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet
In a sense, this kind of pisses me off on at least one level since they played here two weeks ago and I passed on going because I couldn't drum up any interest in going from my friends. The guy I usually go to shows with these days passed because --l ike me -- he hadn't heard any of their stuff. Based o...

My Top CDs: Underground Christian Rock of the 1990s
Back in the 1990s, while I was discovering Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and the whole barrage of grunge and alternative bands, I was also being introduced to some great underground Christian bands that could definitely sit along side the rest as quality musicians with plenty of sub...

Xbox 360 Review: Guitar Hero II
No matter how good, or how bad you are, you will rock out to Guitar Hero II. Pearl Jam is a favorite of mine, but "Possum Kingdom" and "Dead!" are my favorite new tracks. "Life Wasted" is a fun track to play in the game, and that is really all that matters, it's just not my pick for a PJ tune in Guitar H...

The Rules for Rock Reunions
So what is allowed? Replacing dead guys. The Grateful Dead went through five keyboardists. Five! They are all dead except one... the original. How is that for irony? I keep hearing rumors of the mighty Zeppelin reuniting this summer. Well, it won't be this summer because it is already this summer......

Opinion: The Listening Room April 30, 2007: Pearl Jam, Boston, Vanessa Daou, Muse, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Garth Brooks
The Listening Room is once again alive and kicking. I can't remember why we took the brief hiatus, so best not to think too much about it. We're back with more musical musing and recommendations. This week, there are five steps to instant cool- and a suggestion I can only hope is a very guilty ple...
Opinion: The Listening Room April 30, 2007: Pearl Jam, Boston, Vanessa Daou, Muse, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Garth Brooks
For forty-five minutes or so, these guys pretty much blew me away. I'd expected another bombastic emo band kind of a sound, as that's what MCR sounds like... instead I got this wonderfully lush guitar driven band. It's... well, it's hard to describe how Muse sound. If you were to take a healthy dose of...
