I am very excited about the new Pearl Jam album coming out next month. Yes, they are still making music. The self-titled album is their 8th studio album and will be released on May 2. It’s their first studio album since late 2002. I’m going to pre-order my copy now.

The first single, “Worldwide Suicide”, has been available for free download on http://bootlegs.pearljam.com for the past few weeks. It’s an anti-war song, not a song telling everyone to kill themselves.

What’s really cool is how much I’ve heard that song on the radio around here. I would’ve expected it on the MSU station, but I’ve only heard it on two completely different stations. I think those two are owned by the same company, but it’s nice to know there are still some stations around here that are friendly to Pearl Jam.
