  • SOUL ASYLUM Biography by Arthur Levy
    SOUL ASYLUM biography by Arthur Levy “It’s a crazy mixed up world out there, Someone’s always got a gun and it’s all about money You live with loneliness, or you live with somebody who’s crazy It’s just a crazy mixed up world …” (“Crazy Mixed Up World”) Chapter 1. Every Cloud Has One Renewed and revitalized, Soul Asylum founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy return to rock’s front line with THE SILVER LINING, their first new studio release since 1998’s Candy From a Stranger. That album inadvertently kicked off a seven-year sabbatical for the group, which telescoped into the death of bassist Karl Mueller in June 2005, the other founding member of the triumvirate that has steered Soul Asylum through rock’s white water for the past two decades plus. The re-emergence of the group on THE SILVER LINING is as much a reaffirmation of Soul Asylum’s commitment to the music as it is a dedication to Karl, who worked and played on the album right up until the end. They were joined in the studio by not-so-new heavyweight Minneapolis drummer Michael Bland (who has played with everyone from Paul Westerberg to Prince). The band is now complemented by Tommy Stinson on bass, a member of fellow Twin Cities band the Replacements since age 13, and a pal of Dan’s since he was in high school and Tommy in junior high. Tommy was the only friend that Karl could endorse to replace himself in the band. This hard-driving lineup was introduced for the first time in October 2005, when they played sold-out showcase dates at First Avenue in Minneapolis and the Bowery Ballroom in New York – within three days.

  • ENDINO's EARTHWORM “UNEARTHED” Liner Notes
    ENDINO'S EARTHWORM “UNEARTHED” Liner Notes BANDCAMP EXCLUSIVE: Released November 6, 2020 COMPLETE REMIX/RESTORATION of my semi-obscure 2nd solo record from 1992, intended as a follow-up and continuation of Angle Of Attack (1989), plus a half-hour's worth of bonus tracks from the same creative period, 1985-1996. With hindsight I later realized Jim Blanchard's cover art was better than the music, because my engineering and original mixes were not great. But this has now been remedied! Restoring this was quite a journey. I even had Jim update the cover art, because it's kind of a new record now. I hope you enjoy it. Recorded by Jack Endino at Studio Endino, Reciprocal Recording, Hanzsek Audio, Private Radio, and the Crocodile. Remixed and mastered 2020 by JE. -- Guitar & Vocs: Jack Endino, except on "Edge Of Unease" the guitar is Greg Gilmore. -- Drums: Barrett Martin, Greg Gilmore, "Matt C", Jack. -- Bass: Rob Skinner, Pat Pedersen, Daniel House, Jack. -- Misc percussion: Barrett, Greg, Jack. -- Cover art: Jim Blanchard (1992 orig, updated 2020). THE SONGS 01 How Much Time REMIX -- Recorded by Jack and Rich Hinklin (that's him saying "you're rolling") on 1-inch 16-track at Reciprocal, Dec 1989. Remixed 2020.

  • Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain
    f Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain (from top) N irvana By David Fricke The Seattle band led and defined the early-nineties alternative-rock uprising, unleashing a generation s pent-up energy and changing the sound and future of rock. THIS IS WHAT NIRVANA SINGER-GUITARIST KURT Cobain thought of institutional honors in rock & roll: When his band was photographed for the cover of Rolling Stone for the first time, in early 1992, he arrived wearing a white T-shirt on which he’d written, c o r p o r a t e m a g a z i n e s s t i l l s u c k in black marker. The slogan was his twist on one coined by the punk-rock label SST: “Corporate Rock Still Sucks.” The hastily arranged photo session, held by the side of a road during a manic tour of Australia, was later recalled by photogra­ pher Mark Seliger: “I said to Kurt, T think that’s a great shirt... but let’s shoot a couple with and without it.’ Kurt said, ‘No, I’m not going to take my shirt off.’” Rolling Stone ran his Fuck You un-retouched. ^ Cobain was also mocking his own success. At that moment, Nirvana - Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl - was rock’s biggest new rock band, propelled out of a long-simmering postpunk scene in Seattle by its incendiary second album, N everm ind, and an improbable Top Ten single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Right after New Year’s Day 1992, Nevermind - Nirvana’s first major-label release and a perfect monster of feral-punk challenge and classic-rock magne­ tism, issued to underground ecstacy just months before - had shoved Michael Jackson’s D angerous out of the Number One spot in B illboard.

  • Sulla Storia Della Nascita Dei Pearl Jam C'è Molto Di Più Di Quanto È
    Sulla storia della nascita dei Pearl Jam c’è molto di più di quanto è sempre stato raccontato. Per scoprirlo ho intervistato Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, Chris Cornell e altri attori chiave, ho ripescato manufatti originali del 1990 e ho dato la caccia a registrazioni rare, ho triangolato dati e messo insieme ogni fatto. Per celebrare il ventesimo compleanno dei Pearl Jam, sono orgogliosa di presentare il frutto di oltre 10 anni di minuziosa ricerca originale. Fate un bricco di caffè, accendete la stampante e preparatevi ad una lunga e avvincente lettura ricca di dettagli inediti sugli eventi del 1990, l’anno in cui una serie di magiche e selvagge coincidenze portarono all’unione di un improbabile gruppo di persone che diventarono i PEARL JAM. Jessica Letkemann, ottobre 2010 INVERNO Il nuovo decennio era iniziato in maniera radiosa per il ventitreenne Stone Gossard, il ventiseienne Jeff Ament e i loro compagni dei Mother Love Bone. Il primo album della band, Apple, stava per uscire, il manager Kelly Curtis stava organizzando un tour che sarebbe partito ad aprile, subito dopo l’uscita del disco, e il frontman Andy Wood non stava usando droghe. Il loro primo concerto del 1990 si teneva due giorni dopo capodanno (cinque giorni prima del ventiquattresimo compleanno di Andy) al Vogue, il piccolo club che da allora ha le parole MOTHER LOVE BONE dipinte sulla facciata dell’edificio. La band, speranzosa ed emozionata, era sostenuta inoltre, come fece notare Andy dal palco, dalla nascita della prima figlia di Kelly, avvenuta poco prima, quello stesso giorno.

  • Pearl Jam Evolution
    1 “L’uomo dalle parole d’oro” “I Pearl Jam sono migliori di quasi ogni altra band nella storia che abbia avuto quell’ enorme tipo di successo, l'hanno gestito in modo davvero eloquente. Penso che ciò rappresenti un grande esempio per gli altri musicisti di come sia davvero possibile controllare l’attenzione dei media. Penso siano riusciti a restare vitali. I dischi che hanno fatto non hanno necessariamente attratto lo stesso numero di fans di Ten, ma hanno comunque attratto un sacco di persone. Hanno venduto milioni di dischi senza dover fare video e senza dover fare una campagna pubblicitaria esagerata per ogni album.” (Chris Cornell) Stato di Washington, primi anni Ottanta. I complessi più amati dai ragazzi americani in quegli anni sono veloci, aggressive ed arrabbiate hardcore punk band come i Black Flag, i Minor Threat o i Dead Kennedys. Proprio questi ultimi, capitanati dall’istrionico Jello Biafra, giungono a Seattle nell’Ottobre 1984. Quella stessa sera, ad aprire il loro concerto c’è una band locale composta da musicisti che dopo pochi anni diventeranno personaggi chiave del sound di Seattle. Si tratta dei Green River. Fanno parte dei Green River: il cantante Mark Arm, il chitarrista Steve Turner, il batterista Alex Vincent, il bassista Jeff Ament e l’altro chitarrista, Stone Gossard. Il futuro chitarrista ritmico dei Pearl Jam nasce il 20 Luglio 1966 a Seattle. Da ragazzo vive sempre a Seattle insieme ai genitori, due avvocati di successo, e alle due sorelle, Shelley e Star. I suoi genitori, democratici convinti, lo mandano ad una scuola superiore alternativa e multiculturale, la Northwest School, dove le lezioni di storia includono discussioni prolungate sul coinvolgimento degli Stati Uniti negli assassinii politici.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Five Against One The Pearl Jam Story by Kim Neely Pearl Jam. Five Against One: The Pearl Jam Story by Kim Neely Book Description: More than any other band, Pearl Jam embodies the alternative style that dominates rock today. From their early days as fame-ducking grunge pioneers, through their headline-making battle with Ticketmaster, to their current status as self-assured survivors, Five Against One brings to life Pearl Jam's tumultuous ascent to superstardom in rich detail. A compelling portrait of the band's elusive leader Eddie Vedder and family photos never seen before by the public make this a must-have for every Pearl Jam fan. (Paperback) Pearl Jam Ten: With Notes & Tablature (Paperback - November 1992) Pearl Jam: Ten by Steve Gorenberg (Translator) (Paperback - September 1993) None Too Fragile: Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder by Martin Clarke (Paperback) Pearl Jam: The Illustrated Biography by Brad Morrell Out of Print - Try Used Books Pearl Jam by Mark Blake Out of Print - Try Used Books. It’s five against one with 60 minutes that define Pearl Jam. When it comes to Pearl Jam, musical comparisons aren’t difficult, but finding many other bands that experienced the same career trajectory might be. The Seattle group is one of the few bands in history to go from playing its first show to becoming arguably the biggest band in the world in barely over a year. Its first album, Ten , is one of the highest-selling rock albums of all time, going platinum 13 times. When your first release goes to No.
