    I listen to him all the time. He couldn’t name more than 3 songs off an album post yield.  He really likes Pearl Jam but he’s not an Uber fan by any stretch.

    Didn't he do a guest DJ set on Sirius XM Pearl Jam radio? Or am I confusing that with his Yacht Rock obsession?

    If you just ignore the whole "How big of a Pearl Jam fan is Bill Simmons" debate, there's more evidence there to point that this is the new PJ single. He has a MASSIVE audience so this is a great way to tease the new single.

    The guy doesn’t even like vitalogy?!??  

    From 2010... 

    “On the other hand, I can see where those same people are coming from -- for instance, when Pearl Jam released "Vitalogy," I was absolutely furious and felt betrayed by them because they included so many crap songs. Years later, I see what they were trying to do -- there's no way they could have topped their first two albums, so they went in another direction, enjoyed themselves and probably said, "Screw it, let's make this our third one." I listened to it a few times and chose not to like it. Other PJ fans love it; in fact, when I made fun of "Spin the Black Circle" once, the PJ fans went ballistic.”

    Lol! He's in the business of hot takes -- you don't get views/listeners with milquetoast consensus content.

    Agreed on that... he’s mastered the hot take.

    That worked


    So when I use Shazam I don't get the album name -- just song.  Can you use this for Can't Deny Me to see if it reads it's from Gigaton -- just curious.

    Album: Can't Deny Me - single

    Guessing though that if Can''t Deny Me is on the album - maybe it's a new mix overseen by the new producer or a new recording all together.

    I loved Chuck Klosterman’s reply to Bill’s trashing of Vitalogy:

    “ This is a curious question to respond to, particularly since "Vitalogy" is almost irrefutably the best Pearl Jam album, its only major problems being (a) it had an oversized, environmentally conscious jewel case, which makes it impossible to file, and (b) that it was titled "Vitalogy," which sounds like the name of a riboflavin supplement.

    That’s interesting.  I tried that like an hour ago and it didn’t come up.  I guess the database just updated?

    It's worked longer than an hour. Crank the volume. 

    Or shazam is glitchy. Mine didn't work - even for Madonna and Oasis. But rebooted and then it worked.

    The way Bill says, ‘some new music’, definitely is interesting and makes me think it is DoC...what a wildly different direction for PJ if that is the case.

    I had it all the way up because I saw your earlier post.  But it didn’t come up.  Maybe a glitch like you said.

    The synth part is the bit that sounds uncharacteristic of Pearl Jam's oeuvre to this point.  The bass line sounds like "Cannonball" by the Breeders.  But, sure, it could be Pearl Jam.  If it is, I'm definitely curious to hear where it goes from there.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
