10 Songs: Tuesday, September 29th, 2015
Corduroy – Pearl Jam – At the height of their Pearljamness, they sold a million copies of Vitology in a week while still claiming that they were some form of opposition. It was a tough thing, saying a loud nolle prosequi with the world at their feet and fortunately for Vedder’s mental well being it didn’t last long.. but this is what it sounded like – A
Pearl Jam At Global Citizen, Central Park, Saturday, September 26th, 2015, Reviewed
I don’t know how you save the world, I agree with the Tao, things happen naturally and are not pushed but absorbed and certainly not pushed from up on high at rock concerts. That’s not how it is done.
10 Songs: Saturday, September 26th, 2015
Mind Your manners – Pearl Jam – The rowdiest I’ve ever seen a concert was these guys at MSG a long time ago, I thought the floorboards were gonna collapse from the fans pounding their feet. They didn’t have this song then, but if they had it would have fit right in – A
Musician Kasey Anderson Charged With Fraud After Fake Project Involving Springsteen & Lady Gaga
“I lied to myself and others, and believing those lies, I told myself consistently that whatever was going on with me … I could fix it on my own. I convinced myself that it was normal. I am a deeply flawed and mentally ill person who made some terrible choices, causing so much emotional and financial damage to others. But I believe I have much to offer my community.’
Pearl Jam, Environment When Listening To Music, And Changing Your Mind
When you love somebody you feel them differently, they inspire you elsewhere and differently. It is as if you see inside them. In music, when you feel it in a certain way, it becomes divine, the person you see is not the person they were. And then when you fall out of love, they fall to earth and become something else

In The City – Caveman – Haunted mood indie with a baritone lead singer and fairly good songs, they sound like an early version of the National and should do well – B
UK Top 10 Albums 10-26-13
I am sure I’m not alone in adoring John Newman, just a great disco guy, a grand dance House singer player, more pure talent than Avicii can dream of. Absolutely deserves a # 1 and the only question is will the US fall in line?

Hear Ye On Spotify: 10-16-13
Early Days – Paul McCartney – The strange thing about this terrific song is how old Paul sounds, he sounds every inch his 70 plus years and the effect, as he reaches for a note out of his range, is less elegiac and more wearied – A

Pearl Jam's "Lighning Bolt" Reviewed
