Just like the " no tv" thing? cmon dude , live in the 21st century....
um, TV sucks
and whats wrong with enjoying an entire album when it comes out? this song by song leak shit is for the birds and ruins albums in my opinion...
for example, i just listened to the last decemberists album and the last death cab for cutie album all the way through from beginning to end without ever hearing any other song off of the albums, and i fucking LOVED both albums after doint that.. i fi heard them one by one or little snippets and shit i probably would not like the albums as much
enjoying an actual ALBUM is a lost art, you guys can have the singles and snippets, i am going old school for this one

if listening to a compressed song through a myspace page is "21st century", you can keep the 21st century and enjoy that compressed myspace bullshit all you want
i told a friend that i had not heard the fixer yet, and they told me i could hear it on the pearl jam myspace page, i almost threw up
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
it's not really a concious choice per se, but more than likely...i'll be the same. i am just not one to listen to music on my computer, and i certainly don't want that to be my first listen. i heard got some on conan and that's it. if i manage to catch any new tunes on the radio, that's cool.....tho quite unlikely as i don't listen to radio much....so yea....i'm all for 'discovering' the bulk of it when i finally get that new CD in my hands!
what she said
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
bunch of lying ass mother fuckers "I don't download leaked songs"..ppppffffffffffffffff! YEAH RIGHT!! you know dam well if a friend called you and said "Yo Backspacer leaked and it's on so-and-so website" all of y'all would download that shit with the quickness!! BE REAL!!
Im definitely for not listening to leaked songs so I've only listened to Conan's Got Some and now The Fixer. These songs have got me excited about the new album, but leaked songs just seem to ruin it for me....
There's no question I won't be listening to Backspacer before its release date. I'm almost mad about hearing "The Fixer" and "Got Some," not to mention that I know one or two additional song titles. You could literally send me a torrent and I'd erase it; there's something to be said for the anticipation of a new album release, even though I'm sure the band will "ruin" some of that in Calgary and Toronto.

I'm not complaining but I wish bands didn't release their first single weeks before the album. I'm not a fan of that business practice. Let's hear it all at once, yeh? But then again, the music industry was all about singles in the early stages of popular music.

I agree with you...I don't want to hear pieces...I would rather wait until the whole album comes out.

it wasn't a phone call... it was through a friend's facebook status that i learned of the leak
I won't avoid any official releases but I had the opportunity to download the album today and was overwhelmed by guilt. I don't know what it is but I want to hear the album the "right" way. Am I the crazy one? I purchased the iTunes and PJ pre sales so I guess I should just wait. I guess the wait is half the fun? My humble opinion: I think everyone should wait.

Have patience. What you should do is let me hold on to those links for you and I will keep them safe and out of your mind. Be a strong PJ fan with integrity.
I'm waiting, but all the chatter from those who have listened already has made me SO STOKED to hear it. I know I don't get brownie points for abstaining from leaks, but I just love the old-school anticipation of enjoying the entire package all at once...
Keep holding out...we wouldn't want you to peak too soon.
I have my own personal ritual too for a new album...It's going to be fun!
xo
Come on, Kat.. you must've heard it by now! ha! j/k...
I have a personal ritual too, and it's all because of how I felt the first time I heard Vitalogy and No Code.
no more snippets and singles for me getting played out before the album even comes out... i heard "got some" about 5 times, and have completely avoided the fixer...
i will do my best to avoid all things backspacer until it arrives in my mailbox
who else is with me?
ME! It makes the wait so much more worth it!!! One day, then get to hear it live. Sounds like great fun to me!!!
Everybody made a movie....
Everybody had a one line.....
Everybody misses Andy....
We'll be seeing him in no time.... Oh Yeah.....
And for anyone who needs a little somethin'-somethin' to get them through until Backspacer comes, I'd recommend aolradio.com's All Pearl Jam channel. Lots of good stuff on there. They just played Sonic Reducer from New Orleans '00 - it's definitely scratching the itch.
Keep holding out...we wouldn't want you to peak too soon.

right on!
haven't listened to a thing......LOVE to crack open that brand new CD for a real first listen!
Hope i get to do so over the weekend since i did the 10c pre-order.
I'm climbing the walls at this point---having only heard The Fixer and Got Some on Conan. After the album arrives, I'll have a little beer or wine and the first spin is always with headphones. It's tough waiting---for sure---but I'm glad I still haven't heard it yet.
