Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter?

It doesn't really but in this home stretch of waiting for the album to drop what else can we talk about

US Government shutdown?

I thought they were doing letterman in a few days??

Most of the marketing seems to be targetting at US. IE PJ's existing hardcore audience. We get emails about the youtube vids and happenings, so to us it seems like the advertising is everywhere, but in reality it isn't.

The facebook thing makes sense (but is also eroding the facebook experience). When you like something it shows up in your newsfeed, so you friends end up seeing it in their newsfeeds. If they like it spreads out like that. So they kind of reach other people that way (as facebook is designed to share the things your friends like).

I guess i've liked a few bands and tv shows and have gotten used to it. Social Media is a way to get out info to people without putting expensive ads on TV (which are becoming a more useless form of advertising with each passing day).

It could be the downfall of social media though. If it all becomes advertising then it gets a little annoying. You should see the amount of crap Breaking Bad has been posting to my newsfeed this week

HI,

To be honest I am a bit disapointed on how things are going with the marketing associated with the new album...

Those facebook posts like "LIKE if you are excited with the new Pearl Jam album!" WTF? I feel like I'm Justin Bieber fan or something...

Now the new interview video with Carrie.. we need to like IFC facebook page in order to see it... Really? This is just getting worse...

It just don't feel like Pearl Jam to me...

I agree, however, I didn't see that "Like if you are excited", had I seen it, I wouldn't have liked it anyway, also, don't take Facebook or this thing in particular to seriously...

Regarding the IFC, since I live outside the use, I was intenrested when people started talking about eddies cameo on Portlandia, I was eager to watch it: 30 seconds of my life I would never get back, dumbest thing ever, however, when a TV station started to promote Porlandia in my country I found it appealing, I thought maybe that show isn't that bad... SOOOOOOO WROOOOOOOOOOONG I saw the first episode, the worst spent 30 minutes in my life, ever, so boring, hard to believe since I loved Fred Armisen in SNL... so, this time, I like the IFC page, watched video, and unliked it...

What is the big deal? these aren't the only two way of promoting the album... what about the picture reveals, the vine videos, the vignettes, how about the 2 songs and videos released before the album become available? what about the fall tour? isn't it the best way to promote the album?

"what about the picture reveals, the vine videos, the vignettes, how about the 2 songs and videos released before the album become available? what about the fall tour? isn't it the best way to promote the album?"

Like I said before I think this is all great. What I pointed out was 2 specific situations that I didn't like... that's just it.. loved the picture reveals, the vin videos, the 2 songs, etc.. I liked all that. Don't get me wrong
I just think that the "LIKE if you are excited with the new album" is a little bit too much.. but hey.. that's just my opinion I will not hate Pearl Jam for that!!! They are and have always been my life! But maybe next time I will keep my thoughts to myself

Where did I say I was against facebook? Right.. I didn't say it.

I am super-excited with the new album. Does this mean I cannot have an opinion? I believe I can It's just that.. an opinion

Chill out m8.

Yeah, sorry I kinda jumped on you, it wasn't my intention. I just think there is so many amazing things coming up in just a few days now in PJ land and we shouldn't let little things like that get in the way of our happiness/excitement.

You shouldn't keep your opinion to yourself, this is the place to share it, I only read your post, the first one, the one I quoted, if you added more to you opinion, i didn't read it...

And I started my post with "I agree", but it seems you were disappointed about this, I was just "meh", I use facebook, it comes handy at times, but fucking hate it, glad to see there are lots of people who don't even have an account... to round up, I welcome your opinion about not liking those 2 specific situations, I'd appreciate you welcome mine about "not paying too much attention to that and don't give that much credit to it", specially when you really like the others, kinda the glass was more than half full this time...

No need to apologize! I am still very excited I am not a hater! Was just poiting out a situation that I didn't like that much... maybe I didn't find the right words in the first post...
Cheers
