Listening With Two Ears...
Excited about all the Pearl Jam buzz? Trust us - it's about to get even better! First, in case you missed the new album news, here's a recap.
Pearl Jam's sixth studio album, entitled "Binaural" and produced by Tchad Blake and Pearl Jam, will be released on May 23, 2000. The first single, "Nothing As It Seems" with the b-side "Insignificance" will be released on April 11th. Look for it to hit your airwaves soon.
Not sure what binaural means? Pull out your dictionaries, there will be a quiz on Monday. :) See also http://www.binau.com/. How about a couple of new album teasers? Matt contributes to the songwriting this time out and look for a song with Ed on ukulele. A few other album details: It's not ECD (Enhanced CD) or a double disc and there isn't a music video planned. No home video is in the works but they're still hoping to do a new Monkey Wrench broadcast. We're just counting the days...
It's Getting Better All The Time...
April 12th - A BIG Happy Birthday to Dave Letterman -- and this year Jeff, Ed, Stone, Mike and Matt will be there to celebrate with you! That's right, Pearl Jam will make an appearance on the Late Show with Dave. Mr. Top Ten List will be 53 years young. :)

Q: Will Pearl Jam cancel the June 18 City Square show in Austria because of various musician's boycott of Haider and his politics?

A: Next year, hopefully.
Q: In an interview with Mike, he mentions going back to school after the next PJ tour. Will he be leaving Pearl Jam?

A: A book someday.
Q: The new Fan Club single says that the songs were recorded during the WTO protests in Seattle on November 31, 1999. Is this a goof, a joke on us, or do the boys really believe that November has 31 days?
