1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Welcome to the Album Nerds podcast with your hosts, Andy, Don, and Dude. 2 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Don, I said, have I got a little podcast for you? 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000 It's the Album Nerds podcast. 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000 Dude, I got Andy and Don with me. 5 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Andy, how you doing, man? 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000 Oh, dude, I'm doing pretty well. 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Well, you know, it's in the midst of the summer of Don, I got my flannel on for some reason. 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000 I don't know. What the hell? 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Great, yeah. Good time of year. I've got one too. 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000 It's gotten a little gloomy all of a sudden. A little rainy, overcast. 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000 Yeah, the clouds are settled in on the podcast. 12 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Wonderful. It's the way we like it around here. 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000 This is the Album Nerds podcast. We love albums, the album format. 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 We love talking about them ad nauseum because that's just who we are. 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000 We've got a great show for you today. 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000 The summer of Don continues with Pearl Jam's 10. 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Don's going to ask us a deep, deep question. 18 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000 Then we're going to give some shout outs to some albums and album related items that we're digging. 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000 Then, of course, we'll spin that wheel of musical discovery to find out where the summer of Don will take us next. 20 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000 But this time, it's all about 10. 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000 I proclaim this the summer of Donnie Lakey. 22 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000 That's what I'm talking about. 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000 All right. Well, the summer of Don continues. 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Again, I've been going back into the archives of the Album Nerds before I joined the show. 25 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000 I've picked out a bunch of records that I'd like to discuss. 26 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Gave it to Wadbot. She put it on the wheel. 27 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:52,000 This week, we are going to talk about a record you guys covered in episode 130, Pearl Jam 10. 28 00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Oh, man. 29 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Well, Pearl Jam 10 came out in August of 1991. 30 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Here was the first single, Alive. 31 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000 So 10 is the debut album from the rock band formed in Seattle in 1990. 32 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000 The lineup included former members of Mother Love Bone, guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament, 33 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000 along with guitarist Mike McCready, vocalist Eddie Vedder and drummer Dave Cruzen. 34 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000 So Alive was originally a demo called Dollar Short. 35 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000 It had vocals by Andrew Wood, who was the lead singer of Mother Love Bone. 36 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000 And so they circulated this demo. 37 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000 Apparently, they got in the hands of Eddie Vedder, who wrote lyrics to it, sent it back to them, 38 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000 and they invited Eddie to audition for the band. 39 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000 It's alive. It's alive. 40 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000 So this is a song that's probably misunderstood when people first hear it. 41 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000 It kind of sounds like a proof of life sort of thing. 42 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Yeah, but kind of dark about a boy or a young man finding out that his father, 43 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000 I guess his stepfather is not really his father and that his real father had died a long time ago. 44 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000 But yeah, I mean, but the song has taken on because of the crowd's belief and the fans' belief. 45 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000 It has taken on surviving hard times in your life and celebrating being alive. 46 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000 So it has changed, I think, over the years. 47 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Yeah, this is supposedly part of the Mama Son trilogy of songs. 48 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000 So this one's about the kid finding out that his father's dead. 49 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000 And then Once, which is the opening cut of the album, is about him basically becoming like a serial killer. 50 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 And then the third song is what? Footsteps? 51 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Yes. Which was one of the B-sides. 52 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000 I can't remember what happens in that one. 53 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:09,000 That one, he's on death row and blaming his mom for everything, but then realizing that it's really on him. 54 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000 That's when he got signed to death row records and started rapping about them. 55 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000 So as I mentioned, you guys discussed the album on episode 130. 56 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 What were your thoughts then? 57 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Well, I mean, for me, this was a record that I was a little bit too young to appreciate at the time. 58 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000 So I was kind of coming back to it as a high school student, maybe five or 10 years later. 59 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 But yeah, this was influential for me. 60 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,000 I remember buying it at the store and thinking of being kind of embarrassed that I hadn't already owned this in 1998 or whatever. 61 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000 You should have just told the clerk that you wore your first copy out. 62 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Yeah, that's right. 63 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000 So only I was cool in it back in the 90s. 64 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,000 You didn't know me, I could have helped. I would have been the clerk at the store you went to. 65 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Yeah, right? Yeah, I think what struck me most back a few years ago in Re-Review, 66 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:11,000 this was just how lyrically sort of focused it was on all these societal characters, I guess, all these little vignettes of different people. 67 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Not so much the band itself, but sort of like people who had been discarded from society sort of. 68 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000 So yeah, this record really stands out to me, I guess. 69 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Even though Pearl Jam kind of became like a poster child for the grunge movement, I don't know. 70 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000 More like a poser child. 71 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Oh, jeez. 72 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Just kidding. 73 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Before they sold out. 74 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Hi, Dandy. 75 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Of course. 76 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000 Yeah, for me, when we talked about it on episode 130, I talked about how it had grown on me. 77 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000 I got Versus first, and that was my favorite Pearl Jam record. 78 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:50,000 I had not – I mean, I liked 10, but as I got older and listened to it more, I came to understand it more and see its beauty. 79 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,000 It's a little less raw and angry than Versus, and that appealed to me more as an older guy than when I was younger, 80 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 and a little angry about stupid stuff. 81 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Yeah. 82 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000 Like I didn't have a nice car. That was my burden. 83 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Yeah, of course, I wasn't around for episode 130, 84 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000 but I was around when this album came out, and I was very much immersed in MTV at the time, so I couldn't avoid it. 85 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:23,000 I think I always liked the record. I don't think I actually ever owned it, but I used to borrow it from people, 86 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:29,000 and I knew most of the songs. I always kind of liked it, but I think I kind of kept it at arm's length 87 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000 just because it was a scene that maybe I was avoiding or something. 88 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:41,000 You had two magical years of it sitting in the CD collection in our living room. You could have listened to it anytime you wanted to. 89 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Magical years. 90 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000 Just another regret. Okay, well, let's hear some more. This is actually the closing cut, 91 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000 if you don't include the extra tracks or the extra whatever that – 92 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000 Whatever that is. 93 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000 This is Release. 94 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:13,000 It's impossible not to close your eyes when that song is playing. Do you guys agree? 95 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:19,000 Yeah, that song just sums me up. Every time I hear it, it's cathartic, I guess. I don't know. 96 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000 It just feels like you've been releasing something, letting it go. Great way to close the record out. 97 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000 Maybe my favorite Pearl Jam song. I really come to love that one. 98 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Supposedly it's one of the first songs they recorded once they kind of initially assembled as a group. 99 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Eddie wrote the lyrics in the moment. It seems to be largely about the father figure that he never met 100 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000 and kind of releasing himself from that burden of never knowing his father. 101 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000 My clickbait headline for Pearl Jam's 10 is launched in a stardom. 102 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:54,000 In a stardom, Pearl Jam delivers an introspective classic. I think this has kind of earned that classic status for me 103 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000 coming back to it after all these years. It really held up well. 104 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Yeah, it's in the conversation with Classics by the Who or Led Zeppelin even in terms of its impact, 105 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000 its influence, all that kind of stuff. 106 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Yeah, totally. 107 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000 They're heroes. Those bands were their heroes and they've reached those heights too. 108 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Yeah, I think this time around what impressed me most or stood out to me most was just how sort of 109 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000 polished and completed sounding this record is. 110 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Also from a production standpoint, I'm just the songwriting is very… 111 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,000 The lyrics are very thought provoking and introspective and the band just sounds so clean. 112 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,000 All the guitar solos are like perfect and the recording just sounds spacious and beautiful 113 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000 and they have all these cool little effects and stuff. 114 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000 It's hard to believe this is their debut record coming out of the grunge movement 115 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000 which is supposed to be all dirty and filthy sounding. This is not that. 116 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000 It's kind of cool to hear a band emerge fully formed. It almost feels like it was meant to be in a way. 117 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Yeah, and they were still probably feeling each other out at that point. 118 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000 But a lot of the music was already established, those demos and everything. 119 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000 So Eddie came and put the lyrics together for a lot of them but I think they already had polished up those tunes. 120 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000 They've been probably playing them over and over again waiting for someone to put words on it. 121 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000 I think that may be part of why it sounded so good. 122 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:30,000 But one of the coolest parts for me is that especially first albums, it was so real. 123 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,000 It was so just human beings expressing themselves musically before having any kind of, 124 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:44,000 the second record and often the second record for bands is then about success or the pressures of it 125 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:52,000 or the record companies are evil or what, all that comes in later. This is just so innocent in a way. 126 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Let's hear another track. Here is Black. 127 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:06,000 When all I thought I was everything 128 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Yeah, it's kind of an epic ballad in the middle of the record. 129 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000 When I was in college, I had a roommate that didn't play any other song from the album. 130 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:24,000 He would just play this one kind of loop which annoyed me but it did creep into my psyche. 131 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:32,000 I think it's an amazing song. According to Vetter, it's about first relationships and having to let go 132 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,000 which makes a lot of sense now when I listen to the lyrics. Supposedly inspired by American Music Club. 133 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Have you ever listened to American Music Club? They're like a rock band in the 80s that Eddie Vetter was into. 134 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,000 The record company had actually pushed hard for this to be a single and the band refused 135 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,000 and they said they didn't want the emotional weight to be destroyed in a music video. 136 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,000 That's kind of cool. 137 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000 That's awesome. It was still on radio then and stuff there if I recall correctly. 138 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Yeah, it ended up being adopted by alternative radio and stuff. 139 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:20,000 The performance on MTV's Unplugged was iconic. It was so intense and acoustic that MTV started playing that clip as a video. 140 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000 I remember them doing it and I would play it during the radio. 141 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:31,000 So they played that performance as a video even though Pearl Jam had not made a video for the song and not released it as a single. 142 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:41,000 It was Cha-ching city when anything relating to those bands and that flannel clad era. You can't fight the cha-ching. 143 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000 Wins every time. 144 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:50,000 So my clickbait headline for this record is Mookie Blaylock schools Lucius Jackson on the court and in the studio. It's stupid. 145 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000 I think that's what. 146 00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Mookie Blaylock was apparently their first name or they were operating under that name at least temporarily until they came up with the name Pearl Jam. 147 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:16,000 I just threw in Lucius Jackson because there was a female rock band at the time known as Luscious Jackson. So it was interesting to have two bands named after NBA players. 148 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:26,000 Well, Luscious Jackson was on Grand Royal Records when the Beastie Boys were at their powerful height and they had their own little label and were signing bands. 149 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,000 Am I naked? I saw. Rain, rain coming down on me. 150 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:45,000 So I think this is when it comes to the grunge era, probably the two big albums I think of or Nirvana Nevermind and Pearl Jam 10. 151 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:55,000 But I was kind of thinking as I'm listening to this and figuring out how to talk about it, what is grunge? Is it a genre of music? 152 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:04,000 It's a hashtag. I mean, in today's parlance, it's just some term someone threw on it to try to define what was non-definable. 153 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,000 All these bands that sounded totally different, totally different, that were from the same area. 154 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:18,000 And then anything that sounded remotely like it or if guys had long hair and maybe when they sang, they were they were signed. 155 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Is the record label to chingatization of everything? 156 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Yeah, no, it's a really good question, Don. Yeah, Wikipedia, this album is labeled as being in the grunge genre, but this does not sound at all like Nirvana to me. 157 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000 It's not even close. 158 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,000 Or Mud Honey or any of those heavier bands. This is more like a classic rock sound. 159 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:52,000 Yeah, exactly. Is there a big four in grunge? Like, you know, I would say Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. 160 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000 Yeah. 161 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000 They're definitely, Pearl Jam is definitely the most classic rock sounding, I think. 162 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:04,000 I mean, I still hear elements of metal and punk rock, but it is more like a classic rock sound, I think. 163 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Yeah, they're the most mild sound, like sonically, they're not as hard rock. 164 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000 Yeah, there's not a lot of distortion and down tuning and stuff like that going on. 165 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000 More melodic. But it does rock. 166 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000 Yes, it does. 167 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:36,000 Okay, let's hear a little more. Here is Jeremy. 168 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,000 At the time, I had kind of tired of this song because it wasn't as energetic as some of the others. 169 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:53,000 I preferred songs like Garden and Deep, the deeper cuts on the record, but it really highlights what Pearl Jam was about, 170 00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:04,000 Eddie Vedder was about, where pointing out social issues in a line like King Jeremy the Wicked, like within his own world. 171 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:12,000 He was this bad guy, but really he was just an innocent kid that got pushed around and couldn't handle it and took his own life, 172 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:20,000 which is based on a true story that Eddie saw on the paper and then he mixed it with a kid he knew when he was in middle school. 173 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:28,000 So some of the other images of picking on the boy and all that kind of stuff, it's a mixture of things. 174 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000 It's not like a one story, it's not a lifetime movie of a particular story. 175 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000 Right. It seems like he does that a lot where he kind of just combines different elements together to create some sort of thing 176 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:45,000 that's loosely based on reality, but actualized, dramatized for art's purpose. It works well though. 177 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,000 Yeah, and just it really sums up what they were as a band with, like you talked about earlier, Andy, 178 00:15:50,000 --> 00:16:01,000 the homelessness and other issues, societal issues that are as observed by Eddie Vedder and come out in a form of poetry. 179 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000 My clickbait headline to describe the album, Can't Find a Vedder Man. 180 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:13,000 Pearl Jam's 10 brings genuine intensity to the alternative kids and a unique vocal style later spoiled by the biz. 181 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000 Biz Marquee? 182 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000 I wish. 183 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000 Can download the hip hop. 184 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000 You, your life. 185 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Would you say he's just a friend? 186 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:32,000 I like that. You know, the influence, not only the social issue type stuff, which I think we saw more of in music again after this. 187 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000 I think, you know, there was a lot of that in the 60s, but. 188 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Yeah, totally. 189 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:45,000 So in the 70s, I mean, we had, you know, your Marvin Gaye's and your Stevie Wonder's in the soul space with some social messaging and plenty of other artists as well. 190 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:54,000 But you also had disco take over the airwaves and soft rock, the Carpenters and all that stuff, which is a lighter side of life. 191 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000 And definitely in the 80s. 192 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,000 And in the 80s, it was there, but, you know, like there was the issue of was the rock, the heart of rock and roll still beating? 193 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000 And if you were listening to the news, let us know that it was. 194 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000 But to be fair, also in the 80s, we had USA for Africa. 195 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000 You know, we are the world and do they know it's Christmas? 196 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000 I mean, there was there was stuff going on. 197 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Just the pop music scene was very up and light. 198 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:28,000 And that continued into the late 80s with like, you know, hair metal and all that stuff, which was fun, fun, fun. 199 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000 Girls, girls, girls, all that kind of all that kind of stuff. 200 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:41,000 Right. So in the rock and roll and the hard rock space, then we started, you know, Pearl Jam's influence, I think, was very strong in starting to bring those. 201 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000 That subject matter more into hard rock and metal adjacent sounds. 202 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Right. And then Eddie's unique vocal style certainly then influenced other artists and upcoming bands. 203 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Very memeable. Even in the 90s, before memes were really a thing. 204 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Like he was all over the place. 205 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,000 But there's so much more to it than just the sort of the mumbly, monotone, grumbly stuff. 206 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000 I mean, he's there's just amazing vocal performances on this album. 207 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000 And he really does have a pretty pretty strong range. 208 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000 And he really belts out some some notes on this. 209 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:26,000 Well, and letting loose with some lots of vocal affectations as other artists have done. 210 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000 And he kind of doesn't do that as much anymore. 211 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:35,000 But so much woo-woo's and haha, yeah, that stuff that got me. 212 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000 And I think part of the reason they probably dialed that back. 213 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000 But that really added a lot to the feeling and the intensity of some of the songs. 214 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000 Yeah, totally. 215 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:55,000 I mean, half of the song, Jeremy is, oh, but it's still like it's still somehow engaging. 216 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 217 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000 He's great on this record, especially on the B side when things have a little more chance to open up. 218 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000 And he kind of can scale a little bit more, I guess, or do whatever it kind of making words up. 219 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000 And man, he's impressive, man. 220 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000 It's hard to believe he wasn't a vocalist before this. 221 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000 Like he just kind of came into this like untrained and. 222 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000 Well, yeah, he was he was in a band called Bad Radio. 223 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000 And some of you know, like Better Man was a part of their setlist back then. 224 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000 But it was more of a funk sort of chili peppery. 225 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000 Very weird if you go back and what there's some live performances from like 1989 and 90, 226 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000 maybe a little bit of Faith No More vibe. 227 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000 OK, interesting. 228 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000 Yeah, Eddie scatting there is more to like a funk beat. 229 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000 So it's very it's a little different. 230 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000 Interesting. Let's check it out. 231 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000 All right. Well, I think we all like this record. 232 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000 So I'm going to nominate it for the Album Nerds Hall of Fame. 233 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000 And the main reason I want to nominate it is I remember. 234 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000 For me, it's for me. 235 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000 No, in like 10th or 11th grade, we had to read that book, Ethan Frome, 236 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,000 I think by Edith Wharton. And so we'd go, Ethan Frome. 237 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Anyway, so it gets my vote for the Album Nerds Hall of Fame. 238 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000 How about you, dude? 239 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:25,000 All right. So I'm going to say yes, obviously, I think Pearl Jam 10 is a classic rock album. 240 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000 I think it is influential on many levels. 241 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000 Pearl Jam stayed true to who they were throughout their career. 242 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000 They continue to make music that means something to them, 243 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000 that is about important things in the world. 244 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000 It's just those things have changed as they have grown and changed. 245 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,000 But they're still out there fighting the good fight, kind of like Neil Young. 246 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000 I think their career trajectory has been very much like what he was able to do with his. 247 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000 And I think young generations are going to discover Pearl Jam and make great music. 248 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:03,000 I think it all started with Pearl Jam 10. So yes, yes, yes, yes. 249 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Andy. 250 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000 Yeah, yeah, definitely yes for me. 251 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000 I think I'm more positive on it today than I was even a few years ago. 252 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Get all the hits on the front on the B-side is just super interesting. So yeah, definitely. 253 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000 All right. Well, congratulations, Pearl Jam. 254 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000 We're now in the album nerds Hall of Fame. 255 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000 Excuse me. I'd like to ask you a few questions. 256 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,000 It's time for deep questions by Don. 257 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,000 So back in the 90s, Pearl Jam famously took on Ticketmaster, 258 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000 refusing to play venues that used the ticketing service. 259 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000 These days, the U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Live Nation, 260 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Ticketmaster's parent company, for monopolistic practices. 261 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000 Basically, if you attend a concert or a sporting event, you're pretty much forced to deal with Ticketmaster. 262 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000 What other shitty entities are we forced to deal with? 263 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000 I don't think Ticketmaster would ever be a sponsor of this program, right? 264 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000 No, no, no. 265 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000 If they are, then we have officially sold out. 266 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000 And I will take the two chings. Ticketmaster, I apologize. Don's a fool. 267 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:23,000 All right. Let's burn some more bridges here and say, yeah, I mean, Ticketmaster, fuck them. 268 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000 I mean, they're terrible. 269 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000 Even back in the 90s, Pearl Jam hated them. 270 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000 And here we are 30 years later and they're still the same problems. 271 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,000 For me, there's one company that I deal with a lot in my professional life, which is Web Design. 272 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:46,000 A lot of my clients will come to me with an existing GoDaddy website or account that I have to deal with. 273 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:53,000 And GoDaddy, for whatever reason, they become like the de facto answer for people who don't know much about the Internet. 274 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000 No, they're terrible. They have the worst customer service I've ever dealt with of any company. 275 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000 And I've lost many years off my life because of frustrations dealing with those fuckers. 276 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000 Excuse my language. 277 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:12,000 But now that they listen to the show and if they listen to the last episode, they'll know that if they meet with you face to face, they can get their way. 278 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000 So GoDaddy, face to face with Andy if you want to get business done. 279 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,000 That could be it, man. I was there with a little chat and they, oh my gosh. 280 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:28,000 You'll hear your doorbell. Daddy himself will be there waiting to talk. 281 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,000 How about you, Dez? 282 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,000 A service that I love, Amazon. I mean, I bought so much stuff from Amazon. 283 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,000 The convenience. At one time, you got much better deals. 284 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:47,000 Now, it's not so necessarily the truth. But Amazon Prime, all the things that come along with that, it's phenomenal. 285 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000 However, it's a problem, right? 286 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:59,000 So I used to buy records and all sorts of stuff from Amazon, but now I do make an attempt when I can. 287 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:09,000 If the products are something I can get in the case of records on Discogs or from a local record store, I'd rather do that. 288 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,000 If it's something I can't get anywhere but Target or Walmart, I might as well just use Amazon. 289 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:22,000 But I have tried to be a better steward for local businesses and try and stop being so dependent on Amazon. 290 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000 Yeah. It's so hard to find anything locally nowadays. 291 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000 Amazon is almost like your only choice for so many products. It sucks. 292 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,000 I don't know. I'm dependent on it. And for that reason, I feel like I am stuck. 293 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000 I'm forced to deal with them, but I love and hate them. 294 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Well, I guess my answer is kind of a cliche, but I'm going to say record companies. 295 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:54,000 I just think notoriously, they've probably crushed certain careers or dismissed art that probably, 296 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:03,000 if given a chance, could have been successful, but they're so intent on making money that they move on to the next thing. 297 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:11,000 When Pearl Jam is successful, suddenly, they sign every Pearl Jam clone. 298 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000 But on the other hand, I reckon it's an entity that has to exist. 299 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:21,000 But if record companies didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to do this show. Not really. 300 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,000 We wouldn't have Pearl Jam. We wouldn't have The Beatles. We wouldn't have any of that stuff without them. 301 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,000 It's what comes after. The initial discovery of something new and cool is great. 302 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000 They had the resources to do it, the resources to finance it, get the records made. 303 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:42,000 But then when it takes off, then it's the cloning afterwards that's the gross part. 304 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:49,000 Yeah. Yeah, the cloning is when it gets messy, for sure. Unintended consequences. 305 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Well, having worked in radio for a while, the record people, they'd be working on a single for a month. 306 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,000 Then all of a sudden, the next week, like, oh no, forget about that one. Here's the new one you want to play. 307 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000 We want you to play. It's just so quick to dismiss things. 308 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,000 Anyway, what other entities suck? Let us know. 309 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,000 Contact us on our social media, Facebook, Instagram, and threads. 310 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000 Also on our website, AlbumNerds.com. 311 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000 Can you dig it? 312 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000 Yeah. 313 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000 Can you dig it? 314 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Yeah. 315 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000 Can you dig it? 316 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000 Yeah. 317 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:35,000 All right. Well, on your way back from Seattle this week, did you discover anything else that you're digging? 318 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,000 Yeah, of course, man. You guys got my little carriole here for the journey. 319 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000 Kitty carriole? 320 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000 I'll show you what I got in my carriole. 321 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000 That was Cindy Brady's doll, right? 322 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000 Yeah, that was Cindy Brady's doll.

385 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000 Well, I think I've mentioned them in the past. 386 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000 The band The Decemberists from Portland, Oregon. 387 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000 They've got a new double album coming out. 388 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000 Very ambitious. 389 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000 It's called As It Ever Was. 390 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000 So it will be again out this week. 391 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000 There's a song called Burial Ground. 392 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:15,000 They always have this kind of melancholic sound, but it's also annoyingly upbeat at the same time. 393 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,000 Yeah. 394 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,000 And sometimes they're very folky and sometimes they're kind of more indie, rocky. 395 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000 They're kind of hard to classify. 396 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000 That was interesting lyrics though on their songs I find. 397 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000 A lot of historical stuff in there. 398 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,000 Yeah. 399 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000 So looking forward to that one. 400 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000 And then the Pixies have a new single out. 401 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000 They consider it a double A side. 402 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000 So on one side is a song called You're So Impatient, which is good. 403 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:49,000 But then the other side is a cover of the Doris Day hit Que Sera Sera. 404 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,000 Oh, okay. 405 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000 That's interesting. 406 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,000 Check this out. 407 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:59,000 Que Sera Sera, whatever will be. 408 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,000 That sounds less Doris Day-y. 409 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:09,000 Yeah, it sounds less hopeful and more sort of like, well, I guess this is how it's going to be. 410 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000 It's like a funeral derby. 411 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,000 Sort of like an Eeyore thing, just accept it, life sucks. 412 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000 Yeah, different feel than the original. 413 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000 All right, well dude, what are you digging? 414 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:30,000 All right, so I talked a couple weeks ago about the Bon Jovi documentary series. 415 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:39,000 And part of that was John's discussion about his voice not working so much and having to get some surgeries and working on it really hard. 416 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:46,000 They did just release an album, 16th studio album called Forever, and played a little bit of Living Poof. 417 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:54,000 So they're less energetic, but more introspective. 418 00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:02,000 I think this is more a celebration of their legacy, having fun making some songs and talking about life and all that. 419 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000 And their lives have changed quite a bit. 420 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000 So it's an interesting listen. 421 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:14,000 It's probably not going to be on my end of year top list or whatever, but he's like working his ass off to be able to sing. 422 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:20,000 He sounds pretty good, and his voice sounds good and not too constipated. 423 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:30,000 They're not going to tour, at least for now, because I think he can't do three hours a night for five days a week and stuff yet. 424 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000 But here's hoping that they do. 425 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:39,000 I'd like it if they got one more tour in because watching that documentary, you find out just how hard he worked to make all this happen. 426 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:46,000 And next artist I'd never heard of happened to stumble across on Spotify, Josh Malloy. 427 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000 The album is Where You Came From. We'll play a little bit of the title track. 428 00:32:49,000 --> 00:33:00,000 This is his third album, apparently. 429 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,000 He's from Oklahoma. 430 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000 And I dig the vibe and the voice. 431 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,000 I'm still figuring it out. 432 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,000 I've only listened to it a couple of times, but the songs are about the road, trying to make it as an artist, family, roots. 433 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,000 But no song titles refer to trucks, cold ones, or whiskey. 434 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,000 So it's encouraging. 435 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000 We'll see how it goes. 436 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:21,000 I promise it. 437 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,000 Anything, Don? 438 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,000 Sounds good. 439 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,000 I mean, is it country or is it blues rock? 440 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000 I'd say technically it's country, but it's very bluesy. 441 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,000 Is that Chris Stapleton, Southern rock kind of thing going on? 442 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:41,000 So, as always, I try to bring a record that I picked up on vinyl. 443 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000 I recently got Alison Chain's Jar of Flies. 444 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000 You bought a jar of flies. 445 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000 What kind of sicko are you, man? 446 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:56,000 I've collected and sold many jars of flies, but I wanted to get the best one. 447 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000 So I went to it. 448 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,000 I got it on Amazon. 449 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Yeah, No Excuses was the big song from it, I'd say. 450 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000 It's all over radio and MTV. 451 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:12,000 I picked up this album from the website Experience Vinyl. 452 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Alison Chain's with their EPs was so interesting in between albums. 453 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000 Always exciting. 454 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000 It seemed like they were always putting out music. 455 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000 This was considered an EP? 456 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,000 Aren't there like eight songs on it? 457 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:33,000 Yes, but it was not 11 or 14 of running time an hour plus like all the albums at the time. 458 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,000 Yeah, it's always fun to go back and get that stuff when you happen to see it. 459 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000 Okay, what are you digging? 460 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000 Let us know. 461 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,000 Hit us on the socials, Instagram, Facebook and threads. 462 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000 Also on our website, AlbumNerds.com. 463 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:52,000 It will be a discovery of extraordinary value. 464 00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:04,000 Well, it's about that time on the show when I'm reminded of the great Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarists, Neil Young. 465 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000 The godfather of grunge. 466 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:19,000 Neil Young said, Pearl Jam is a band I have a lot of respect for. Nirvana and Sonic Youth I feel the same way about. Mumperd and Sons, My Morning Jacket, Wilco, Givers and Foo Fighters are just some of my favorites. 467 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:25,000 I expect bands that give me something of themselves that I can feel. Posing bands turn me off, generally speaking. 468 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:32,000 It all has to do with the feeling I have about them. That is what music is to me, a feeling. It's similar with people too. 469 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,000 I thought he nicely summed up the sentiments of the grunge era there. 470 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:42,000 With that in mind, let's bring out my friend and yours, Wodbot, and see what we'll be discovering next week. 471 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000 The summer of Don continues. 472 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,000 With that in mind, I will be choosing which albums from Don's curated list you will be exploring this summer. 473 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:09,000 Next time, you will be treated to Stevie Wonder's groundbreaking album, Inner Visions, where Mr. Wonder seamlessly blends genres and social commentary into a memorable listening experience. 474 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:17,000 Sweet. Back to Stevie. I think we had a pretty good talk. I'm hoping Don can bring this thing to the next level. 475 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:22,000 He always does. Yeah, it should be fun. Love that record. Any excuse to listen to Inner Visions is okay with me. 476 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000 It's going to be a good week. 477 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:31,000 Don't forget, you can suggest topics for the wheel up on our website, AlbumNerds.com, as well as both for any ongoing Album Nerds Hall of Fame nominations. 478 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,000 How do you feel about Stevie Wonder's Inner Visions?
