just read that Clive Davis was removed from running Sony BMG and that someone new will be running J Records. i know they only signed a one album deal with J Records, but am wondering how this might impact the next record? any thoughts out there? wonder if they were planning on continuing on with J Records.

    I'd be so pleased if they found another label for the next album.

    they have a distribution deal with J (if my memory is correct). they aren't signed to a label.

    Didn't PJ just recently work with Rhino Records on something?

    According to Mike McCready, they did have a 1 record deal with J for the last record. And yeah, it was mostly for distribution purposes.

    I'm sure that no matter which record label they go with (because even Radiohead had to have a large company eventually distribute it to stores), it would be for distribution purposes only. PJ is smart enough now to retain ownership of their material.

    Pretty sure they've talked about going back into the studio this year, and mentioned working with Brendan O'Brien on the next album.

    i think Stone said something in that recent online interview that they intended on switching things up alot from now on... i dont think the next one wouldve been with J regardless of Davis... and i dont see it effecting the outcome of the album all that much

    New music from Pearl Jam soon would be awesome.

    For the first few days after a new record, for me, it's like the closest thing to flying. This band puts amazing amounts of emotion into their music!

    Don't think they'll be with J...Hopefully they just put it out themselves...The demise of the big labels can't come soon enough. Tons of acts are abandoning the old label system, and I think it's the best thing that can happen for music. They make more money, don't have to try to target the general mass, and the quality of music goes up..And at this point I wanna hear whatever direction they wanna go without regard for trying to write those hit singles..Not that they worry about that too much.

    didn't Mike or Ed say the other night that they have been back in the studio?
