My business plan for Backspacer. Funny that really looks nothing like My business plan for Riot Act or Yield. Care to enlighten me Champ about what those albums have to do with a statement like My business plan for Backspacer.

You think I am typing in code form or something. I assure you, when I say my business plan for Backspacer, thats what I mean.

And funny enough, PJ's business plan and mine, line up. Not claiming any sway in the decision, but just sayin...

by the way....i didn't even read your promotional plan

it may be awesome for all i know.

See tough guy, this is not me saying things like this..I'm just a guy who loves 'Come Back' and that particular episode of Friday Night Lights..I never did follow the series after the completion of the first season..

My buisness plan for backspacer would have been: liscencing some of the tunes for use in tv shows like Greys Anatomy or The Hills. Just Breathe or The End, no doubt would fit perfectly, as some emotional scene in Greys.

They took this approach for Avocado. If you remember, 'Come Back' was featured in an extremely emotional scene in the first season of the popular show, 'Friday Night Lights.' Didn't seem to make a significant difference in terms of album sales. In any case, how the record is marketed is up to Pearl Jam and their competent management team..

you know what, decides2dream, the champ and mookey, can shut the hell up!

You all posted on my original thread how PEARL JAM WOULD NEVER lower themselves to promote their music via tv promotions. You said it, I didnt. Then when you are proven wrong, and the band blatantly promotes, you slam me, for gloating. You dont like my thread. Leave it. I dont give a damn about it.

Evidently, I have to have a PHD in business to be taken seriously by you 3 idiots. Where are your freakin credentials?

Just because you think you know me based on some posts on a board, and let me assure you, you do not, doesnt mean I cant have knowledge on issues.

I actually never read or posted in that thread and carry no opinion over it so feel free not to put words in my mouth or at least fact check your posts.

I've explained my credentials to you in previous posts, but to summarize I'm 6 months shy of a BS in business (acctg and info sys), with 2 years of music industry experience and moving on towards earning my CPA license. You can look up the rest again if you feel.

I assume when you post that you are expressing yourself and sharing with the board a reflection of who you are. Also, you are displaying your (lack of) knowledge with your thoughts. You definitely have the right to share and express your ideas with whatever experience or knowledge you have, but we also have the right to have a rebuttal on the subject.

Once again another one of your threads has become derailed, not because of your thoughts and ideas, but because of your ego, narrow mind, and false sense of entitlement.

To the person who posted about the non influence of Rolling Stone and Spin, you are wrong sir. In the late 60's through the 80's, maybe even to 1994 or so, Rolling Stone was a major force in shaping the music industry and what was considered cool. The reviews of records by bands, has far reaching effects.

Well, when you claim I said something I didn't say, it's easy to make me look wrong. But please don't put words in my mouth. I did not say that those magazines are "non-influential." I said that it was your claim that "the majority of folks" used to learn about new music from these magazines was untrue. Indeed, your claim is demonstrably false. It isn't true now, and it wasn't true from the late '60s through the '80s. The U.S. population was, at its smallest, 150 million during this time period. The magazines' circulation was, at its largest, less than 3 million during this time period. It's not a majority; it's a tiny minority. Even allowing for influence beyond those folks who actually read the magazines, it is preposterous to suggest that it reached anything close to "the majority of folks."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they've used several songs on tv shows long before Backspacer. This is not a new idea.

Yeah, this is not a new idea, nor is it the first time a PJ song has been featured in TV shows.

How is this groundbreaking? :?

And, by the way, the real lie to this theory will be put next week, when there is no appreciable increase in the album's sales after last night's exposure.

The sales of this album are almost exactly in line with the last two studio albums. The small decrease is a function of two things: 1) fewer people buying albums generally; and 2) the limited distribution created by allowing to be the only major bricks-and-mortar retailer to carry the album. It's that simple. The only thing that would extend this album's reach beyond the core fan base that need no encouragement to buy it-- short of playing the Super Bowl halftime show or performing at the Grammys-- is a major crossover radio hit. With that, the album could sell over a million copies. With a big hit, maybe 2 million copies. Otherwise, it will sell 500,000 copies or so, as expected.

The most significant thing the band could do to boost sales, if that's something they want, would be to relentlessly work "Just Breathe" to CHR/Top 40 radio.

Congratulations for rehashing what the band has already previously done (remember the Cold Case episode which featured nothing but PJ songs, and it coincided with the Ten remastered release... hmmmmmm weird).

But go ahead and pat yourself on the back... and get over yourself.

They were old songs (for the most part) that people have been hearing since 1991. That's different from promoting brand new songs on a brand new album.
