Since the shop is now like a TJ Maxx, with a clearance section, I was wondering if a layaway section is in the works?
Honestly between the shop, "mystery box's" ,trading cards wtf? , videos for Target and being so enamoured with the Grammy for best packaging, the once mighty and proud PJ has certainly changed. And change is fine by me, evolution is inevitable, but not all change is necessary or desirable.
I will always love the music, because the music is pure. But this ugly marketing machine is starting to play on my last nerve.

    I remember a few years ago when they didn't have any new shirts in the shop for great lengths of time. I'll take all the new merch they have in there now. It provides you with more options to pick from. It's not like you have to get everything in the shop.

    It would be really cool if they opened a Pearl Jam Cafe in Seattle. I would love to sink my teeth into a Hey Foxymophandlemamma that's me Burger and share an order of Avocado sticks with the family!

    that would be Self Titled Sticks.

    I'd be embarrassed to admit I knew of the clearance section in TJ Maxx.

    But on behalf of the band, thank you, as it will be a much better name for the Burger at Pearl Jam Cafe!

    It's not a pseudonym. Legally changed it years ago.

    What's so wrong about promoting an album with Target or being proud to win a Grammy for best recording package? "This ain't your father's Pearl Jam!" Yeah, this ain't 1995, either. Get over it.

    I don't even go near the merch now. It use to be dark and/or cool. Now it's geared towards a bubble gum factory. I'm sticking to the music. Except songs like fixer of course. Maybe Ed sang that one for his daughters but that song almost ruins the album for me.

    End music rant of the day.
