    How many Backspacer spins have you had the pleasure of having? Just one?

    They're giving tickets to the concert away all week and if you win you get to go to the listening party as well.

    Mach, how would you rank 'Backspacer' among the rest of their catalogue? And, would you also be willing to give us some little bits of information to wet our appetites? Thanks :D

    And if any board member gets to be a part of this listening party--it is their duty to report back! ;)

    The station still sucks donkey testicles.
    If it meant Todd the turd or Dean Buffoon are going to be there then I'd pass.

    Hopefully it'll be 3 or 4 tracks from the new record!
    Fuck it! The whole Backspacer will be played from start to finish!

    Sure, why not?
    It's only about the length of an encore or 2.

    HTZ FM in St. Catherines is doing the same thing except you can watch the show from the American Express zone which is on the side of the stage

    So.... I've been listening to the Edge at work and even though I have 10C tix, I thought I'd give it a shot to hook someone else up (and because I like a PJ challenge).
    About an hour ago they played a mash of 5 PJ songs in about 2 seconds. They were "Corduroy", "Alive", "Animal", "Better Man" & "Black." I tried calling for about 10 minutes and wasn't getting through so I decided to get back to work. About 10 minutes later the DJ said no one has won yet.
    I conveniently work across the street from the Edge and decided to take 5 and try to win in person. I walked in and the guy told me I could definitely give it a shot in person. I did and he told me he didn't think my answer was correct. I then told him he's wrong and he laughed and said he'll check with the DJ when he gets off the phone with the caller. Unfortunately, the caller that was on the phone when I walked in answered correctly and when they went to break I asked the DJ if I was right and I was... They laughed. I cried.

    Sorry man! :( But wow! I can't believe they laughed at ya. If I was part of Pearl Jam management and heard about this, I would so not let The Edge even in on Backspacer leaks or prizes. It's funny, their DJ's @ The Edge got the power cause they got live mic skills; but they laugh @ their fans behind closed mics. Great job there guy's! :roll:
