Why not?

Then why bother with the Conan show June 1st? Ok, Pearl Jam is playing new songs, to promote an upcoming album 3 months away? You don't take such a high profile show to promote something that's not ready for the public within a reasonable amount of time.
Ok, so digital download available June 2nd while hard copy/expanded cd available in the fall.
Let's see.
Both make plenty of sense.

If that's an authentic poster, it's looking like September!

I'd say its very plausible for PJ to "pull a radiohead" in the sense of releasing the album to 10Clubbers first...
But let's definately agree on the fact that the single (to be played on Conan) will be available June 2nd. Theres NO REASON why it would be any other date.
anyway thanks benjs for posting the poster up there. looks very legit, especially with the Universal logo. yeah, all real signs point toward the fall. these little appearances over the summer (Conan included) are just warm-ups of what's to come. fleshing stuff out, tweaking, etc.

something will be avail for us.
Hmmm... and under Universal instead of Sony or J. I think Universal is the largest of all of them, if I remember correctly.

My guess, no way they will release the album digitally, and certainly not three months ahead of the official release date. They have always put a lot of effort into designing a package that you can hold and appreciate when you listen-I don't see that changing. But hey anything is possible!
Second of all, if they want to get this album into the hands of the fans sooner rather than later, I don't see why they couldn't release it digitally early (giving the fans the ability to hear it early) and then physically later (giving the band the time they require to make this album's artwork the way they want it).

That's probably just for overseas distribution, but time will tell.
I'd strongly assume they'll release at least a single 6/2 after playing it on Conan. After that, I'd think you'd want to keep that momentum going by having the album out no later than August -- which also makes sense in terms of having it out before the tour.
made him ... want to be everywhere
there's a ... lot to be said for nowhere."
which explains the real reason they're doing conan.
oh to also wish for a bonus dvd of the writing/recording process with the album would be every pj fan's dream....something similiar to QOTSA lullabies cd/dvd would be great!
Maybe MIke and Stone were fucking with us and its more completed then we think. I personally think it will be out in July.

That's an interesting thought. All we really know for sure is they have two huge motivators (Conan and the tour) for releasing it before the fall.

why do conan now? why not?
it's a big coup for them both. big name band for his opening night....band linked with big opening show of new tonight show. win-win for both! generate buzz for both! this is for june 1st...who's to say pj can't play conan again in 3-4 months time when the new album releases? personally, i do not forsee a digital release preemptive of a hard copy, but who knows.....that's another discussion.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
Nuclear fission
who says they do? My guess is they are more interested in releasing physical copies of the new music, artwork and packaging included.
yea...i don't get the rush, now. 3 years have already gone by sinc eht elast album release, we're in the home stretch....what's the rush, or to think they'd want to hurry, to get it in fan's hands NOW? perhaps i am old school, but i really hope they release the hard copy album first, or at least simultaneously, with any digital DLs offerred. i don't need it *today*...i just want pj to put out the best album they can, on their schedule....and enjoy the build-up and anticipation to it's release.
i don't understand why so many think playing conan on june 1st precludes instant album release. i think it's a great tease is all.........
