Konser Pearl Jam di Calgary, Kanada (21 September 2011) lalu memberikan kesan khusus bagi fans Pearl Jam. Tak hanya dari susunan setlist lagu yang dibawakan mereka, namun juga detail kecil di sela-sela konser.

Dari percakapan di forum penggemar Pearl Jam, Ten Club Community Forum, seorang user dengan ID nothingman4 menulis:

"Sepupu saya, Sean, adalah inspirasi bagi saya dan keluarga untuk menggemari band ini. Ia merupakan sepupu tertua, dan membuka mata kami terhadap 'agama' yang kita sebut Pearl Jam. Ia meninggal pada 2007 dan kami sekeluarga sangat terpukul kehilangannya.

Bersama dengan adik saya, kami bertemu Mike McCready pagi di hari konser.…

Another priceless experience, menyaksikan band yang mengiringi saya tumbuh. Semacam soundtrack of your life - sekitar 12 tahun silam saya jatuh cinta ke kaset bergambar lukisan bernuansa China. Sampai sekarang saya sedikit kesulitan menemukan korelasi nama "Purple" dengan tipografi kaligrafis yang ada di sana.

Setelah on/off karena bubar, maka edisi reuni kali ini cukup beruntung, Stone Temple Pilots sudi mampir (pfft, kaya nama warung) ke Indonesia. Dengan status sebagai penduduk Jakarta (kini), maka tiket setengah juta rasanya sepadan karena sekarang cost transportasi bisa direduksi. Maka hadirlah Scott Weiland cs dalam jarak sekitar 10 meter saja dari hadapan…

PASSIONATE PEARL JAM FANS OF INDONESIA

To : Pearl Jam, their management/representatives, ten club, and Indonesian Concert Organizers

It’s been about 17 years since ten album was realesed, a time which is enough to accumulate a big number of PJ fans in Indonesia from different locations and ages. Many Indonesian are not only moved by Pearl Jam’s songs, singing and dancing thousands times because of the songs, bt also inspired by the band’s idealism and most of all, because of the way Pearl Jam’s members treat their fans.

Based on the chats, discussions and event gathering through tenclub_indonesia@yahoogroups.com,…

Hereby, I'd like to pronounce my best ever Indonesian song ever rated: "Haus di Padang Tandus".

Related to my previous post on "10 Fundamental Records", you'd find if I'm not really into my nation's music products. In fact, I didn't even care on what so hype recently in local music. I trapped in my box, and decide to limit my access (on local music). Among the few references passed by, I found several songs that in my opinion stand-out and have a high quality musical standpoint. One of them was this song, "Haus di Padang Tandus" which I found among…

As released by Billboard this morning on my inbox, Eddie Vedder's newest video "Guaranteed" will be aired premier on VH1 and VH1.com on January 7th.

The video itself, directed by Marc Rocco, who wrote film "The Jacket" (featuring Keira Knightley) with clips from the movie (Into the Wild) and Vedder performing acoustical. The first "single", Hard Sun, also available on video without Vedder's appearance.

Vedder himself, recently shot some videos, all with his band, Pearl Jam. His debut appearance was on Temple of the Dog video, Hungerstrike and followed by serial of Pearl Jam promotional…

Remember Dennis Rodman?

Apart from being record bearer in rebound rate as professional basketball player, Mr. Rodman also gave his time to dig deep from his favorite band, Pearl Jam. When he was transfered to San Antonio Spurs in 1993, he picked the number 10 jersey instantly. Number 10 wasn't so popular number in basketball, unlike football. Rodman picked the number for reason, which was Pearl Jam. It's no secret that he is crazy about those Seattle-based band, whose debut album entitled "Ten". Eventually, Pearl Jam took the title "Ten" from Mookie Blaylock's jersey number. Mookie…

“…we were very impressed with the atmosphere in the stadium but we played a good game. The Indonesian have loyal supports from their nation, which would've been a pressure for us, and it's only a matter of experience. With those kind of support and level of display in two previous matches, maybe we'll see Indonesia in the Asian elite soon.”

- Pim Verbeek, Korea Republic' Head Coach

Me and maybe millions fellow compatriots have just proud of being Indonesian for last night and today, which were quite rare lately. The Indonesian National Team a.k.a Garuda have a splendid performance on the picth against Bahrain on the opening match for Group D in Asian Cup 2007. Nike endorsed them (though we have Adidas did it in the past), at somewhat cool jerseys, which ten reds battling against opponent. We're the host of multinational football championship, for the first time in years. And actually we won in the first fixture (though we've won in the same occassion at 2004…

Eddie Vedder met Ed O'Brien through Johnny Marr and Neil Finn (guess it's "7 World Collide" gig). Neil Finn and Ed Vedder share the same spotlight as musician (or lyricist) avant garde in the 90's. Both are GREAT songwriters with their solid fanbase. Some people that I know, share their interest between Pearl Jam and Radiohead. Both of them (Ed Ved and Yorke) have unique perspectives on something (check any lyrics they wrote). And up until yesterday, no more clues left to explain connectivity between those alternative's two supergroup.

Suddenly, I found Ed Vedder jamming "Creep", day…

Happy New Year everyone. Rise n shine year 2007, and so long year 2006. This is annual-chart for this year:

Screaming Trees
Got their A-sides compilation "Ocean of Confusion" which aired some of their classic 90's hits on my playlist. "Shadow of the Season" aired frequently before from Singles soundtrack.

Stone Temple Pilots
Simply rocking with "Big Bang Baby" which I played every morning in my desktop computer. Kickass song to start the day…not to mention songs like "Creep" or "Down" to fill several darkest period of last year.

Mark Lanegan
Fantastic voice, incomparable. Such a charismatic singer…
