The Ten Best Pearl Jam Songs

The jPod has recently been focusing on Pearl Jam recently.  Not that I mind.  In fact, this has made me focus on my favorite PJ songs.  Not an easy task for me to categorize the best songs by one of the best bands actively touring today.  Best is a subjective word, but remember where you are.

In order from 10 to 1 - 1 being my favorite; here is my list of favorite Pearl Jam offerings.  Each song is listed along with the album the song can be found on:
10) Corduroy - Vitalogy
9) I am Mine - Riot Act
8) Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town - Vs.
7) Wash - Ten
6) Nothingman - Vitalogy
5) Footstops - Lost Dogs
4) Jeremy - Ten
3) Yellow Ledbetter - B-Side of the Jeremy Single
2) Red Mosquito - No Code
1) Black - Ten

Stack Shot Billy

This blog is about me, and things I live.  Beer, music, chicken wings, movies - things like that.  Here is a band I know that you will dig if you like this blog.  Here is The Black Keys performing Stack Shot Billy on The Late Show with David Letterman (another thing that I enjoy very much).  Be sure to check out the Keys on Conan next week.

Guster is Great-ster

The Hamiltons and the Thurstons attended the Ray LaMontagne/Guster concert at Interlochen Band Camp.  Wonderful time, incredible company and a truly inspired performance by both groups.

Ray was very deep and introspective.  Guster, on the other hand, played to the crowd, rocked hard and loud and even pulled band nerds on-stage to rock with them.

For an encore, the band came back on stage in the traditional powder-blue polo shirts that the band dorks wear.

No word on if any flutes are shoved in bad places.
