... but i think i need a break from pearl jam ... I KNOW I KNOW ... but really i find myself only listening to pearl jam ... for days/weeks at a time .. i can put my ipod on shuffle and when the next song comes on WITH IN SECONDS of the first few notes i can tell you where it is from and what date ...keep in mind i have EVERY SINGLE SOUNDBOARD RECORDING EVER RECORDED from 1992-2010 that i know of .well over 15,000 songs... i think over did it . its about to lose its luster for me and i dont want it to happen.

so im putting down my ipod...turning off my itunes and spinning the radio dial for the next month ...MAYBE listen to a studio every now and then ...but thats it


anyone ever feel that way ? feel like your over doing it .


my grandma always use to tell me ... everything is good for you. just dont over do it ...

    But this week the MSG bootlegs are about to hit!

    I do go through extended periods where I stay away from Pearl Jam, to keep it as fresh as possible when I go back.

    Man, get out there and listen to some different music! You think Eddie only listens to The Who nonstop and no one else? There are so many great bands out there to check out. Start with some Dr. Dog and thank me later

    There is too much good music out there to be obsessed with one band which the OP clearly is. When you have that much and you post a thread like this, you cross the line between fan and obsessed. What do your friends/family say about this OP?

    i'll be honest its not that im obsessed ... more like im to lazy to eject the cd...turn off my ipod...etc etc . its really not as bad as it sounds ..i just have sick memory..at concerts i can tell you what they are about to play when mike its the first two cords when getting ready to start the song you know to make sure his guitar is tuned for it..... if im not listening to pearl jam im listening to AM radio ..either news radio or sports radio .. i throw on 101.9 wrxp (newyork area) every once in while but when i think about it its about 80% Pearl Jam all the time ..

    There's a lot of great music out there to discover but you're not going to find any of it by listening to the radio.

    Hang out in some music forums, discover some stuff wildly different to what you're used to (jazz/classical/whatever might float your boat).

    Get busy downloading some stuff - it's a big wide world out there and it's a great time to be a music fan. Let's face it, you can hear virtually anything you want to almost instantaneously and for free (don't give me the "that's stealing" argument - it's over, the record industry lost). There's too much good music out there to limit yourself to one band that much. Have fun.

    What sort of other stuff are you into already? Maybe I can start you off with some suggestions of stuff to look into.
