i wholeheartedly support that. it's amazing how nice it is when you're in a stabbifying work environment, burying your face in a sparkley purple mane......squeezing his hoof to make it squeak.
then they decided they didn't want stuff on our desks so they put him in a cupboard and someone else rescued him and put an army helmet on him and put him right back on the desk. heh. my hero.

Some of them are a bit out there!! One of them looks like Hugh Laurie, the Dr from House, is in it!! I relaise it isn't actually supposed to be him, but geez it looks like him!

Isn't it just one of those things bands say? You know like "Auckland, you're the loudest/best place we've played ever"! They know that most people are Aucklanders and we all hate the rest of the country, so they make a joke of it? They don't do the same when they're in Welly?
Hi I'm going to adelaide and missed out on 10C tix, I'm travelling from sweden and I wanna make sure I have tickets at all. Should I try ticketek, or would anyone have two spares? Any ideas? Cheers

Don't know if this is in another topic, but here is a review from MAX Channel of Backspacer...If possible, I'm even more impatient for the 18th to come around.
Pearl Jam - Backspacer
Thu 20 August 2009
Recently, a lot of bands have tried, in vain, to return to the sound they had many winters ago (when they were as hungry for success as they were for dinner), in a desperate attempt to regain long-lost fans and become relevant again. In some sad cases, these bands have attempted to tout every upcoming album as a return to their roots… Or, even worse, they have recycled the title of their most known work and added a very, very, VERY pathetic “Pt. II” to it – even if it doesn’t sound at all like the original!
Not Pearl Jam, fortunately – if what you want is to listen to Ten, go and get the 2009 deluxe re-issue; there’s no need for the band to try and replicate it. Backspacer is the work of a band comfortable with where they are at. A straightforward rock album that is as simple as it is inspired. Long gone are the grandeur pretensions of 1996’s No Code or the experimental urges of 2002’s Riot Act. It seems like, with Backspacer, Pearl Jam had one, and only one goal in mind: to write good songs. And, alas, that’s exactly what they did!
The album is not only filler-free, but also one of the band’s most cohesive outputs – both in style and delivery. Concert-ready rockers like “Johnny Guitar”, “Supersonic”, “Gonna See My Friend”, “Got Some” and the addictive first single, “The Fixer”, showcase Pearl Jam at the top of their game – the always-functional rhythm section of drummer Matt Cameron and bassist Jeff Ament; the concise and enthused riff interchanges of guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready; and Eddie Vedder’s vibrant vocal lines. Pearl Jam stay away from the fallacies of studio overproduction and greatly benefit from the imperfections of a live and organic sound.
Backspacer has its fair share of ballads, but never loses momentum. It also helps that “Just Breathe”, “Unthought Known” and “The End” are some of Vedder’s most heartfelt tunes. Backspacer evidences a band that no longer needs to shoot for the stars. They’ve been to the moon and back many times. And, right now, they’re precisely where they need to be!

Just dont do what Cartman did when he was wanting the Wii, when he froze himself and ended up thousands of years in the future!!
i had thought of that, and then rembered the alternative ending to Evil Dead 3: army of darkness.

I have no idea what that is, but it scares the shit out of me... :shock:
if you have not seen the movie their are two endings to it. One he ends up back in his time and the other is similar to the cartman story, except he wakes up and the earth is a wasteland. if you are into clasic horror movies then you should watch the triliogy

First time i saw them i was 15 and just TOTALLY blown away. First concert ever - what a way to break that cherry. I haven't missed them live (in adelaide) since. The first tour was awe inspiring, powerful, energetic - ah i could just go on and on!! (just ask me!!)
Looking forward to hopefully catching up with some Pit members this year... should be great fun!!

I had a blissful dream last night that a friend of mine who works for a radio station leaked me the album as soon as they got it and i was sooooo happy. End of the dream was that he got fired for leaking it - but i still got an early listen!! Damn waking up from dreams - that part sucked...
