New Pearl Jam - World Wide Suicide
Is Pearl Jam the biggest band in a generation? They are definitely the last great rock band to reach a level of uber-success that not even the, allegedly huge, Arctic Monkeys can light a match to. Vedder and co. will release their self titled 8th album on May 2nd via J Records.
The cover art is simply a halved avocado. This main ingredient in guacamole and pretty much the greatest vegetable ever. The vessel of delicious Mexican mayonnaise joins the banana as produce vaulted into A-List status after making it big with the rock kids.

Merry Swankster.com Bonus MP3:
Pearl Jam - Indifference (featuring Ben Harper - Live at MSG 9.11.1998).
I was at this show and to this day hearing Eddie Vedder and 18,000 fans sing "I will scream my lungs out 'till it fills this room" still gives me the chills. In terms of a pure full-on rock and roll experience, few bands can match the genuine intensity of Pearl Jam live.
Tour dates in support of the album were announced last week with the excellent (and MS 2005 fave) My Morning Jacket pegged for opening act. Tour dates after the jump.
