The Pleasure by Painted Shield

Painted Shield released a third single from the new album, Painted Shield 3, to celebrate it's release today.  The song, "The Pleasure," features the same kind of animation as "Lover Divine," release a few months earlier.

Pick up your copy of Painted Shield 3 at LooseGroove Records today.

War Babies - Vault

 

Just prior to the formation of Pearl Jam, Jeff Ament played with a band called War Babies with long-time friend, Richard Stuverud; vocalist, Brad Sinsel; and guitarists, Guy Lacey and Gunn McMullin.  Although he was replaced by Shawn Trotter for most of the debut, self-titled album, his baseline did make it to one song, "Watch Me Bleed," which until now, was unavailable.

Now, War Babies' Vault is available on CD, black vinyl, and gold vinyl featuring all unreleased songs, including "Watch Me Bleed."

Check out the song below, and pick up Vault, if you enjoy it.

Save It For Later, Covered by Eddie Vedder

 Yesterday, Eddie Vedder released a cover of The English Beat's "Save It For Later" that he recorded for Season 3 of The Bear of FX.  Pearl Jam has covered this song over 150 times in concert, but this is our first studio release of it.

Despite the graphic for the digital release, we don't have liner notes, but it seems that Ed's the only musician on the track.  There's also no word if this will be an actual, physical release, but that seems unlikely.

So, y'know, just go enjoy the song on your streaming service of choice, and pretend you're in London listening to it at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Stone Gossard on Instagram

 About six weeks ago, Stone Gossard quietly started an Instagram page, and since then he's been posing some of his original artwork, photography, and poetry.  If Moonlander and Bayleaf are your jam, I recommend checking it out.

Here's a sample of the poem that was paired with the image above:

Seams

Now , it seems to me
there are only two kinds of people

Ones that have made some peace with contradiction

And ones that haven’t .

When is a prayer not a prayer ?
But affirmation

An Ode to joy’s

Juggle

Pearl Jam in Seattle
