i can't believe Kurt Donald is still there. i used to work with him at the university radio station in Sackville back in the 80s. he was doing sporatic shows on C103 back then.

I'm psyched! I was worried all week that I was going to forget about the broadcast. Sounding great so far!!
I didn't know about, I just tuned in at 8:07 but I made it

Anyone notice if any of the WalMarts around Moncton were putting the new CD out early? On another thread people were mentioning that some of the WalMarts in the States were already selling it early. I haven't had time to check around Moncton yet so just wondering.

I haven't been out and around enough to look, sorry dude.

i have to say that the hour from 8 pm to 9 pm tonight was one of the best i've had in a while.
can't wait until tuesday to get the album and really rock out. my connection kept freezing up during the show so i didn't get the "full" experience.
my computer is acting strange since i tried to sign in to Messenger for the first time in two weeks. all these pop ups for porn sites kept, well, popping up as soon as i signed in! i have pop up blocker so it shouldn't have been happening. then my computer froze. i've had to reboot three times tonight.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!! !!!!The new stuff rocks my ass off!!!!:)
Can I get an AMENt?!?
meep-and maybe a PJ gig in Halifax?
wishes are all we have at this point, so brush off your wells and start chucking those coins!!!
for anyone in Fredericton, The Fox 105.3 fm is going to be playing the new album April 29th at 8 pm (atlantic standard time) with interviews and whatnot as well.
its funny how the fox has been advertising that pearl jam will be live in the foxhole.
oh, and isn't it happening on sunday night?
yup, it's tonight, not last night. i wrote it on my hand on Thursday and, well, i've washed my hands a lot since then.
and yes, i find it really funny that the fox has been advertising it. i have made requests for them to actually PLAY some PJ during the work day and unless they've played it when i've been away from my desk, they haven't come through.
if anyone didn't catch it last night on C103, try to catch the show tonight because it was incredible.
they occasionally give them some play, but not much. I heard a live version of alive once on the Fox. I called to request WorldWide Suicide but they wouldn't play it till after 6pm.
FredFm is your spot for pearl jam, but then you have to put up with alot of 80's garbage.

the only time i really listen to the radio is when i'm at work and for some reason, my radio will pick up a station for about 20 minutes at a time and then i have to switch to another one for a while, so i end up spending my days switching between Capitol FM, The Fox, FredFm and CBC and some days all i can get is a french station and i'll leave it there.
i don't know why i have such horrid reception problems. it makes no sense.
it's too bad they won't let us stream...seems too many civil servants were doing it and it was slowing the system down.
It's Tuesday all you Maritimers let's get out there and buy up those Avocado albums! Sah-wheeat. I can't get mine until after work, so any hints to price and location are greatly appreciated.

teflon steve, which cdplus are you talking about? the one at king's place charged me $14.99
i didn't have much choice in the matter of where i bought mine...cdplus was closest for me.
there were several people buying copies when i went to pick up mine. it felt weird...i am a dying breed among my friends, so the only contact i have with fellow pj fans is my brother who lives in halifax, and you guys, here online, so it was kind of cool to be around other likeminded people...even if it was for a short period of time.
Bought my copy today. First time i've listened to the whole thing (listened a couple times actually). Not terribly impressed. Found myself WANTING to like the album more than I actually did. Many of the songs just don't seem to come together. I hate to say this, but there's not a single song that blew me away. Kept waiting to hear the latest example of In Hiding or something else, and it just wasn't there. Many of the songs seem "worked over", and somewhat forced, which is often what happens when they don't naturally flow (is that why the boys took so long to make this album ?).
Also found myself liking the slower songs like Gone or Come Back more than the rockers - there's more to grab onto. WWS seems like it could have been made by PJ at any time over the last 15 yrs., and in any event, gets tiresome rather quickly. Marker in the Sand wasn't bad, and neither was Army Reserve - which was another slow one (wasn't it ?).
And oh yea, who did the lyrics in the booklet ? Wow, many of them are not even close. Almost every song had discrepancies between the song and written words.

Certainly don't begrudge your opinion...but...
I think the cd is awesome...especially when comparing to the last couple of albums. Won't get into a song by song since a lot of people have done it..but I think this is the strongest collective of songs in a looooooong time and perhaps second to VS (in my opinion)..by the way....My favorite album is Vitalogy...but this one has a more complete group of songs. (again..IMO)
the more i drown, the less chances i'll have of seeing them live again.
which is the lesser of two evils?
i love how on the hfx thread people can give opinions without having their heads ripped off. see how truthmonger gave his opinion and sward comes back, states politely that he has differing views and that is that! no nasty exchanges.
see, another reason why PJ should come back...people play so nicely on the board that we deserve a treat!
After hearing the new album, I definitely need to see them play Life Wasted live. I can see the crowd going ape shit on that one. Bring 'em back to Halifax, boi!

i'm grasping at straws now!
You know, after I wrote that I thought: ah, maybe that was a bit harsh. Listened a couple more times and I'm warming up to it. That's not to say I'm freakin' over the album, b/c I'm not, but it is grabbing me a little more. Anyways, those were nothing more than first thoughts on something that I'll listen to many, many times over the next little while. And yes, I do think its cool that someone can share their thoughts here w/o getting slammed by someone else. A sign of maturity perhaps ?
Herre's another thought: I found myself liking PARTS of songs, rather than the songs in their entirety. Anyone else feel that way ? Also, I'm curious to see what they're going to do with this stuff live. I was listening to the album and wondering what they might do with this song or that song. There are possibilities - especially for Mike since he wasn't given much lattitude on the album, or so it seemed.
And Lanners, I'm sorry to hear of your drooling problem. I didn't know you were a drooler.

it's a pavlovian thing--i hear pj and i drool.
i'm with you about liking some parts of songs better than others, but i'm finding that the more i listen to it, the more they become cohesive.
i'm also very curious as to how these new songs will play out live because there seems to be lots of room for Mike to go apeshit.
so, when will we see mike go apeshit again? (truth, you stay out of this one...cuz i know you're going to see them before most of us on the east coast will ) I want a full report on my desk the day after the show!
