Hey fellow Humans……
Not only is the single late, the letter ABOUT the single is late….was written a few moons ago….Vedder late than never…..
Dec. 20th
~Letter~
Dear Kind Listeners……
It is mid-December here in Seattle (and most places I imagine), and I find myself compelled to reach out and offer a few words to those of you who have generously supported us over the years…..
Specifically, we felt the need to let you know that the Christmas Single has been recorded(!) Earth shaking news, we know. Goodness gracious….
But truly it is something we take pride in and both sides have turned out pretty cool… However, we also like the idea that you would all receive the Christmas Single by Christmas…Perhaps this is based on the fact that it’s called the CHRISTMAS Single…….
Aahh well….it’s taking longer to make vinyl records these days…. We are currently snowed in as the weather has turned extreme, bordering on the bizarre…and we’ve been hammering away on some NEW STUFF that understandably took priority….
So please accept an apology, as it’s delivered with respect. If it helps to accept it, we can say with some bias, that these songs are gonna be cool even if they don’t arrive until Valentine’s Day…or Saint Patrick’s Day…4th of July?….
While I have your ear, let me reach out to all those out there who helped support the preservation of a threatened surf break and National Park called Trestles…..public support and keen activism dealt the enemies of our ocean a big blow earlier in the year…..they came back with an appeal on the Federal level and we were notified two days ago that they were denied…. Put your bulldozers away….No freeway going through….Developers find a different piece of land to rape and pillage, cause we won this one…..
It’s spectacular news….and rare… elated, relieved, and inspired….it was noted in final judgment that the powers that be, were heavily swayed by the galvanized support of the citizens who spoke out…..The power of this result goes beyond a surf spot and saving a historical landmark, and encourages all of us to stay active and do what we can, when we can, for the issues that affect us personally…. Diligence cannot be underestimated… My activist friend, Matt McClain from Surfrider, said to me, “constant pressure, endlessly applied!”
There you go…. exhilarating when it works. As exhilarating as it must be to be a businessman who, if they won, would’ve gotten the green light to build a freeway and put up houses and privatize the beach for profit. Which side do you want to be on?
As we’re on the subject of activism in the Christmas spirit, I’d love to bring up one last item that is important to me and many others...the West Memphis 3.
To give you an update, there was evidence delivered to the presiding judge on the West Memphis 3 case back in September...years of hard work and intelligent gathering of facts were dismissed outright…For you that may be concerned, we wanted it to be known that this was expected and not the worst of news…..
With that dismissal, we will soon be appealing to the Arkansas Supreme Court and then on to Federal court, if necessary.
With the new DNA and forensic evidence that ties others to these dreadful crimes and demonstrates that our guys Damien, Jason and Jesse are innocent, we are confident that the truth will come out.
With this explanation comes a plea… as the dates for these future rulings come upon us, it would mean so much to have your support….This case has dragged on at a snail’s pace while three innocent men wake up every morning in prison; one on death row….
We here will provide you with all the tools you need so when the time comes we can celebrate together as these men are given back their freedom…..
If you have any information on the case:
One of the country's leading homicide investigators, a decorated former NYPD detective, has joined the case and is looking for even more new evidence and witnesses that can help free these men. If anyone out there has valuable information about this case, call the confidential tip line at 501-256-1775.

Damien Echols has filed in the Arkansas Supreme Court. The case is now moving, and we expect a decision in the next few months.
A jaw-dropping affidavit has been included as part of his appeal. Read Mara Leveritt's report on this story that should overturn the convictions on its constitutional merit alone:
Thanks for reading….thanks for listening….Hope you and your families and loved ones are healthy and well…..So much tragedy in the world…Keep on loving each other.
Enjoy your Christmas…We get a nice gift on Jan. 20th...
Happy New Year and Christmas Single by summer!

You know, I'm really really glad that I am not one of those famous or even well-known people.... because today would have been so embarrassing for me...
As soon as I opened this thread and got excited about the Deep magazine, I immediately ran out the door to the mailbox and while I was running, my pants fell down!!! I would have ended up as one of those worst bodies published for the entire world to see, or become the latest gossip in this small town.
SHIT!!! Luckily for me - or at least I think so - that no one saw me! *knock on wood* :oops:
But the mailbox was empty...
Looking forward to Ed's long letter when it comes!
And next time, I'll use the damn belt....
JA: Why do I get the Ticketmaster question?
EV: It's your band.

Was this an actual letter recieved in the mail, an email, or in the new issue of Deep?
:oops:
It's posted on the front page of the Pearl Jam website...and assumed to be in the forthcoming newsletter.

I've been in such anticipation about any new album news that I actually forgot about the single until I saw his letter. Nice to hear from him, regardless.
Why the hell would something written December 20th not get posted until April 22nd??? Hahahaha. Oh Ten Club....
Up until this point, I blamed the band for the X-Mas single not being done. Now it is seems the blame falls on the 10 Club's shoulders. Maybe I am wrong?
is it me?? or do we still have no f-ing idea when the single is gonna be here? i mean, it's totally nice to hear from ed (awesome, in fact), but..... if it's been recorded since Dec. 20th...
i suppose you could read into it that why would they post the letter now unless they were gonna ship/have shipped... but couldn't they also tell us that?
it's as if they just like to tease us! what are they... my 8th grade girlfriend?? : )
HAPPY NEW YEAR,HAPPY EASTER,HAPPY BIRTHDAY,,WE NEED TOUR DATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Lukinfan...ya really gotta post the whole fucking letter?!
In his defense, I don't normally check the homepage, so bringing it to my attention via the message board was helpful.

Oh well, I'm just glad they haven't forgotten about us.
. . . and it just goes to show that even though the single is "late" the fans are still remembered.
Up until this point, I blamed the band for the X-Mas single not being done. Now it is seems the blame falls on the 10 Club's shoulders. Maybe I am wrong?
i suppose you could read into it that why would they post the letter now unless they were gonna ship/have shipped... but couldn't they also tell us that?
