With no new album on the horizon, Pearl Jam has announced that it will be touring for the fun of it. Good for them! They strike me as a rare band that won’t one day write “road songs” about the pain of being on the road. Sorry, no covers of Jackson Browne’s “The Load Out” to anticipate.

Speaking of covers, has anyone yet heard their cover of “Love Reign O’er Me” for that Adam Sandler 9/11-Syd Barrett fantasy biopic of the same name? Check it out. Whaddaya think? By the way, I respect and admire Pearl Jam’s anti-video stance, but if this fanboy’s homemade video accompaniment doesn’t convince them to take matters into their own hands, Pearl Jam is more committed than maybe any band on the planet. Be inspired!

    This video is a violation of The Prime Directive of covers, which is to make it sound like your own. Half way thru and Eddie even starts to sound like Pete.

    Someday we’re going to need a Most Melodramatic band contest. Pearl Jam has to be high up on the list. Not that I always hate melodrama necessarily.
