    Ed said at Brisbane 2 that he had been working on the uke songs for a while and gave them to Kelly Slater to listen to. Kelly convinced him to release them. He said that they would be out sometime soon. Then he said June!

    May 31st would indeed be out in May, and out in June by any practical measure ;)

    i will have to strongly disagree with the individual "getting in fights over those fuckers", whatever that means.
    PJ is not ed, nor vise versa.

    the ukulele is a beautiful instrument, full of soul and sadness, and eddie plays one quite well. i would not recommend he, or anyone, stick one up their ass. in fact, people getting in tussles over such trivial things as different musical tastes might want to take up playing one - they're super relaxing and therapeudic.

    if you have nothing nice to say, then perhaps just be silent. maybe wait for the album to get released, then form an opinion. just don't bash the uke and eddie for playing one - give thanks instead.

    and if you don't think the uke rocks-

    I've noticed that the lettering on this single cover and the new EV logo on the Aussie merch (pinback, t-shirt, etc.) are the same style font. I'm guessing this is a special typewriter from his collection that does lettering similar to handwritten cursive.

    Listen to the way you grown adults are talking to other people. Are you kidding me? Are we not allowed to be angry over a rock singer choosing to make his 2nd solo attempt even softer than the first by choosing an instrument that is NOT a popular instrument?

    I believe in being respectful but not to the point where I'm a fucking sheep and just stroke their dick over any and every project they shit out. Spare me with that shit. I just think if he chose to do an entire uke album, it was a poor choice. That's not just my opinion. We'll let the record sales speak for themselves.

    And don't give me that "he transcends record sales MAAAAAAAN. He's above all that petty stuff." Wake up and smell his net worth people. Ed likes some money. He doesn't want this cd to flop. I just don't like the idea. And I don't give a shit if you think I'm not "cultured" because I refuse to listen to watered down ballads. I'm still a fan...but not of that junk. Sue me.

    But seriously....Ed needs to shove that uke up his ass and grab a fucking electric guitar. Fuck all that weak dick shit.

    Boo to you sir. Boo indeed.

    Yeah, when he was making a record on the ukulele, he was clearly thinking of record sales. Face it, he likes the ukulele and probably just thought it would be fun to make a record. Why are you over-thinking this?

    He makes more than enough money with Pearl Jam to warrant releasing this. Also, the "not a popular instrument" comment makes me laugh.

    Sorry there aren't any guitar solos for you and your br0 friends to rock out to maaaaaaan.

    I love the song, and I wasn't put off by the uke at all, as I feared I would be - in fact I liked where it took the thing. Really looking forward to hearing more from this
