We all knew the info wasn’t dropping until Tuesday so no one should have really expected news today. I like that the email was blank - I know no one here had that one their scorecard. So it was a good gotcha moment. Remember… It’s a tease and we only have to wait until Tuesday. Well done Pearl Jam.
Exactly! All those posting about being over 40 certaintly don't sound it based on the crybaby whining. I mean what is the difference? A tease is a tease. Would text saying dark matter single released Feb 13th really give you any new info?
Both of these posts are perfect! I think it’s genius, marketing!!

I'm fine with waiting until Tues. I just don't like wasting an hour and a half trying to get something out of a NEWSletter, when its "nothing to see here", and I could have been done with it in 2 minutes.
What in the world did you do for an hour and a half?
The same thing the people on the last several pages were doing.

Isn’t Marcus king a big maga guy? Can’t see them working/touring with him if that’s the case. Maybe it’s a just a clue?
I doubt it’s intentional that the link is taking people to King. Probably just an incidental thing on the Universal site and people are making nothing into something. Also see: the entire tour rumor thread.
To my knowledge he is not a big MAGA guy. Seen him multiple times. Jam band, Allman bros type music. Not really political at all in his music.
I doubted it when I read this, so I did some research and it looks like he is indeed a MAGA dude. Oh well, great music regardless.
I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side. I am right by your side.

I was at a basketball game with my daughter. I checked the email about 130pm and saw it was blank. I realized it was probably a tease and a play on the Dark Matter theme. I checked in here and saw some people smarter than me found the hidden text that I didn't even bother to look for so I didn't really have much time invested in it. So maybe we can both have two different but correct feelings about it.

Absolutely hilarious how flustered people are getting over a simple, thematic tease email. It’s not some incredible idea, but whatever…just a simple wink wink concept. Relax. Or don’t, I guess…we’re all allowed to expend precious energy on whatever we want. 🤷🏻♂️

You know, that should have been their out to save face when Capone's vault turned up "empty": "No, it's full of dark matter!" (Because dark matter is everywhere, this would have technically been true.)

A simple countdown clock would be cooler than this. No use for either Apple or Spotify.
I don't use any music streaming services either, so I just assume this single will show up on YouTube Monday night on Pearl Jam's official account. I'll listen to it there until the CD comes out.

I need some work done on my car, and Tuesday is the best day for me to bring it to the mechanic. I originally tried to make an appointment for this Tuesday, then I remembered it was the 13th, and made the appointment for the following Tuesday.
for those late to the game, the email just looks blank, because its a tease for Dark Matter. If you click in the email, it will take you to a page where you can pre-save the album on spotify or itunes. Some people looked in the code and saw that it will be available on Feb 13th. So, we will get more information then. You aren't missing anything if you cant figure out the email. I personally enjoyed the easter eggs, of course I would rather have the album and single right now versus later today, tomorrow or on the 13th. But I like that they are messing with people. I prefer this than a standard 10th of the month email.
Is it clear that it's the album you're pre-saving? And not just the song "Dark Matter"? It would be more consistent with music-industry practice for the single to drop Tuesday/Monday night with the album to come later.

Someone looked at the code and it seems like there were mutliple singles for future dates too. I think the single is dropping tuesday, and the album announcment is coming tuesday. I don't think we are getting tour dates tuesday, but most people think we are.

I think this is sort of fun. If we didn't have any of this medium to scour over every inch of every post, we would be sitting here with nothing until an announcement happened on the 13th (or whatever day it happens). The fact that we have something to get excited about as fans is good enough for me. I know we are getting an album and a tour and I don't mind how they let me know, as long as I find out.

Black holes are among the most mysterious cosmic objects, much studied but not fully understood. These objects aren’t really holes. They’re huge concentrations of matter packed into very tiny spaces. A black hole is so dense that gravity just beneath its surface, the event horizon, is strong enough that nothing – not even light – can escape. The event horizon isn’t a surface like Earth’s or even the Sun’s. It’s a boundary that contains all the matter that makes up the black hole.
There is much we don’t know about black holes, like what matter looks like inside their event horizons. However, there is a lot that pearl jam fans do know about black holes.
Let's not confuse black holes and dark matter, which are distinct concepts. Dark matter permeates the universe. Black holes occur throughout the universe, but they are mostly isolated phenomena.
