Something's Going On

A poor quality recording of a rehearsal at the Showbox in Seattle last week; new Pearl Jam!

Be sure to tune in to “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” Monday night at 11:35pm to hear the band play a couple songs. Rumor has it the new album will be out in early Fall.

Here’s some more stuff off their 2008 X-mas Single as well:

Random Ramblings

Some random ramblings to start your week with.

  • The series finale of Battlestar Galactica aired this past Friday on the Sci-Fi channel. The show’s 4-year run, while having its share of up’s and down’s, was some of the finest television I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. I consider it second only to The Wire in my list of all-time greatest television shows (yes, better than Lost). I’m going to avoid a recap and instead urge you add the box set of season 1 (including the 4-hour mini-series kickoff) to your Netflix queue, or run over to Blockbuster and pick it up, or order the thing on Amazon.

Breakerfall

[audio:breakerfall.mp3]

There’s a girl on a ledge who’s got nowhere to turn
Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
Now her life is on fire it’s no ones concern
She can blame the world or prey till dawn
But only love can break her fall

Break her fall. Yeah, only love can break her fall. Fall.

It’s like she lost her invitation to the party on earth
And she’s standing outside hatin’ everyone here
Yeah, she’s her own disease, crying to her doll
But only love can break her fall

Break her fall. Only love can break her fall. Yeah…

Yeah fall (The world is her fall) Break her fall
Love, love, love can break her fall… Who?
Now only love can break her fall…
Love, love, love can break her fall… Fall.
Love, love can break her fall
Only love can break her…

I Got Id

[audio:i_got_shit.mp3]

My lips are shakin’, my nails are bit off
Been a month since I’ve heard myself talk
Only advantage this life’s got on me
Picture a cup in the middle of the sea

And I fight back in my mind
Never lets me be right
I got memories, I got shit
So much it don’t show

Oh, I walked the line, when you held me in that night
I walked the line, when you held my hand that night

An empty shell seems so easy to crack
Got all these questions, don’t know who I could even ask
So I’ll just lie alone and wait for the dream
Where I’m not ugly and you’re lookin’ at me

And I’ll stay in bed
All blue, I’ve seen hell
If just once I could feel love
Oh, stare back at me

But, I walked the line, when you held me in that night
Oh, I walked the line, when you held my hand that night
Oh, I walked the line, when you held me close that night
I paid the price, never held you in real life

My lips are shakin’…
