Has a tour ever been announced in the newsletter on the 10th? I cannot recall that happening.

I remember a tour being announced on Sirius PJ Radio - I *think* it was the midwestern 2014 tour, but I could def be wrong on that.

Jan 2020 there was no newsletter on the 10th - it was a "coming soon" message only and then album + tour announcement on the 13th.  Perhaps we get similar Monday. 

Wasn’t that one the GPS pins for the billboards? Or was that a separate email?

Yes. Looking through old emails now and that's what Jan 2020's partial newsletter contained.

You have old 10C emails from 2020? wow

Don't think I've ever deleted an email from 10C/PJ.

Don't think I've ever deleted a non-spam email in my personal

"Holy shit. We have some rather huge news regarding a certain Seattle band... who have, shall we say, a "super unknown" development. Stay tuned."

interesting

Matt really is joining Foo Fighters. Or quitting PJ. Or Soundgarden is hiring a new singer. 

Matt posted online that he is not joining Foo. So you can scratch that one off the list.

YES!!!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antiquiet Exclusive: A long-running lawsuit between Soundgarden and Vicky Cornell over the use of her late husband Chris Cornell's unreleased vocal tracks has been settled. This means the nearly-completed new Soundgarden album can now be finished and released, an enormously exciting development for fans.

Full details in the episode!

The as-yet-untitled album's song titles likely include:

“Road Less Traveled” (Cornell/Cameron) 
“Orphans” (Cornell/Cameron)
“At Ophians Door” (Cornell/Cameron) 
“Cancer” (Cornell) 
“Ahead Of The Dog” (Cornell/Thayil) 
“Merrmas” (Cornell/Shepherd)  

“Stone Age Mind” (Cornell)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, not tour-related, so back to your regularly scheduled programming...

I would agree that tour announcements are the biggest news PJ can make.   Even if it's not a tour in my area, someone, somewhere gets to go

Isn't this the high point of being a PJ fan, going to the live shows?

A new album does not excite me at all. 

New shows that come with a new album? Sure. 

New shows period? Every time.  

Agree.  If Gigaton was erased from existence I wouldn't give it a second thought.  Fine songs on it, but give me the live shows. 

Agreed. Nothing will ever replace those first five albums.  Just give me live shows with diverse setlists that exclude you are.  

Perhaps I'm in minority, I still enjoy the excitement of new material -  new albums and shows heavier on newer songs.  If indeed the "Big News" is new album and limited tour, it'll be a shame (imo) if the Gigaton tunes fall off setlists so soon. 

No, I'm with you. I loved the three Gigaton songs I heard in St. Louis and want more. I'm bummed I'll never probably get a chance to hear a lot of songs off albums 6-11. I love all their stuff and each show is dynamic but new material makes it a lot more fun. Just my 2 cents. 

I really lucked out with Gigaton seeing them at SHN and both Ohana encore shows in 2021. I think they played 6-7 songs each show and I got to hear a lot of my favorites. They didn’t feature it nearly as much on last year’s tour. 

I have seen all songs on Gigaton except for Buckle Up and Comes Then Goes. So, that is not bad.

After last year’s tour I’ve now seen everything except comes then goes. I wonder if it’ll ever be played? Maybe at an Ed solo show someday?

SNAP.  Soundgarden revival? 

Unreleased material maybe ?

Oh yeah, that would be great. I don't want anyone trying to fill in for Chris.

no one can

I think the term "big news" is being overblown. In a capitalist society things are marketed as big, new, amazing, etc when they are usually just normal. Big is a generic adjective that gets carelessly thrown around all the time.

With that said, I hope it is a big tour with longer sets, cool merchandise and at beautiful venues but am keeping my expectations realistic and not pinning my dreams to one word. Glad they will be out playing some shows!

A tour is big news. If that's not sufficient for someone they should look inward instead of moaning about capitalism.

I was simply saying that goods and services are often overhyped to make money, adding a reminder to keep our expectations realistic about the tour. I know emotions and reactions to people's theories, news and opinions about PJ can run hot...

..and pretty much every email since then

I miss the rumor pit and DigitalKat & OfTheSea

People actually delete emails? If y'all could see my inbox...lol. it's well into the 6 digit figures 😆 🤣

As an Austin local, I'm guessing they're playing Moody Center, not ACL Festival. They've already headlined ACL Fest twice, and haven't played a proper arena show here in decades. It's a brand new arena and everyone and their mom is trying to tour and play there this year because it's such a fantastic arena (and we're so glad Erwin Center is defunct now).

Do we think 1 or 2 shows in Austin?

💯 and Austin will be the prime travel destination of the 2023 tour

ACL makes sense. Seems that is the payday that gets them back on the road. It happens to be a great fest no matter who is headlining. Unfortunately (fortunately) I will be there the week after for the Formula One Race.

You know tour news has cooled down when the discussion shifts to email organizing habits.
