Ah, the Old Town: Portland's melting-pot of vagrants, geeks, frat boys, strippers and rockers. Join them all this Saturday for the second annual Old Town Block Party , in that parking lot over the road from Backspace and Davis Street Tavern, for a day of eating, drinking and dancing for a good cause. Last year, over 3,000 people showed up to help re-erect the (heh) "Hung Far Low" sign. This year, the Block Party is raising money for local charities Transition Projects , Rose Haven , Sisters of the Road [...]

From two rows back someone quipped, "I guess quiet is the new loud." The Hive Dwellers were into the third song of their set, but only the first few rows were able to hear a word of it. Without a microphone, Calvin Johnson's booming baritone dissipated into the chatter and bar noise. The drummer played with t-shirts draped over his stripped down kit, and though cords connected bass and guitar to what looked suspiciously like amps, they might as well not have been turned on. The low volume forced the interested to pay [...]

Alright, we'll jump in and give this story some more fuel, if only because record sale figures are pretty fascinating in today's highly pirated digital world. New York indie darlings Vampire Weekend reached No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart with their sophomore record Contra via XL. Released January 12, the album sold 124,000 copies its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Their self-titled debut has sold 490,000 copies to date. Billboard reports Contra is "the 12th independently distributed album to top the Billboard 200 chart since SoundScan began [...]

Dear Backspace , I know it's cliché, but you need to hear it. It's not you. It's us. Nobody did anything wrong. We just grew apart. When we played there last July, not that many people knew about us. Saddle Creek had re-released our album that day . Do you remember that? It seems like so long ago. Don't get us wrong. Your high ceilings are still really charming. And your low corner stage is perfect for an intimate performance. But when so many people come out, it's hard to [...]

Settimana interessante per quanto riguarda la classifica degli album più venduti al mondo realizzata da Mediatraffic . " The End " dei Black Eyed Peas (81.000 copie) resiste in top10 e diventa il terzo album più venduto fra quelli usciti nel 2009 dietro a U2 e Eminem . L'unico superstite dell'invasione dei Beatles è "Abbey Road" alla 9, mentre alla 8 troviamo i Three Days Grace e il loro post-grunge/rock che è sempre andato alla grande in USA e Canada. Whitney Houston ha finito l'effetto Oprah, [...]

That's not meant to be an insult; the Seattle group's early albums [...]

Pearl Jam put on a hell of a live show. If you're a fan it's like a spiritual experience. It's rare to see a band sell out an arena in this day and age and it's even more rare to have the entire place sing along to the majority of their songs. I thought I was sick of songs like Alive and Small Town until I heard Pear Jam perform them in 2009 with the good people of Vancouver as back up singers!

...Or is it a boomerang?

O Pearl Jam é, hoje, uma megabanda. De nada adiantou pararem de dar entrevistas e fazer clipes nos anos 90, nem arrumar briga com uma gigante dos ingressos para deixá-los mais baratos. Desde 1991, com " Ten ", seu debut, a banda só fez crescer. Mas, caso raro no meio musical quando se trata de grupos deste tamanho, não se deixaram pirar com o sucesso, não arrumaram brigas, não acabaram se destruindo e, de certo modo, continuaram os mesmos caras do começo de carreira. Com a sonoridade foi o mesmo. [...]

We haven't really talked much about the much hyped Beatles remasters around these parts (maybe it's because we haven't gotten around to plunking our hard earned cash on any of them just yet), but by all accounts both the stereo and mono versions are everything you'd expect and more. While there was no such thing as Sound Scan during the band's heyday, the Fab Four sold over 2.25 million copies of their recent upgrades in the first five days of their release. The band also managed an impressive [...]

Artwork by Renowned Cartoonist Tom Tomorrow NEW MATERIAL THIS WEEK - Independently released, Pearl Jam unleashed their ninth-studio album this week. The record, titled, ' Backspacer ' was produced by Brendan O'Brien. (O'Brien produced three of Pearl Jam's earlier albums; Vs. , Vitalogy , No Code , and co-produced Yield and oversaw the re-mastering and remixing of their seminal debut Ten which was re-released this Spring .) Backspacer was [...]

Pearl Jam's ninth studio album, Backspacer , finds the band relaxing into a groove of sleek, '70s guitar-filled mid-tempo anthems, revved-up wanna be-punk rockers and subdued acoustic meditations (complete with strings!). But for a band about to reach their twenty-year milestone, relaxing into a groove usually means playing it safe and playing it safe usually means laziness and lack of innovation. This couldn't be truer with Backspacer. The album feels forced, and although these are new songs, they sound like weaker versions of Pearl Jam's most impressive moments from earlier in their career. [...]

This week's release of Pearl Jam's new record BACKSPACER on their own label XX as well as a hometown return for two nights at Key Arena marks for them a step for them back into the limelight and an opportunity for Pearl Jam to showcase a record made for themselves and their fans, unencumbered by [...]

The brand new Pearl Jam CD (the band's 9th) is out - it's called ' Backspacer ' and it's being self-released by the band (no small feat). On Sunday, no less. ( Buy it here ) Lots of comments from fans show thumbs up all around. And guess what, critics are loving it too - Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield (great music guy) likes it; so does LA Times writer Ann Powers . PopMatters writes "Backspacer is the sound of Pearl Jam actually having fun again..." I agree - [...]

Presentazione : "Backspacer" è il nono album in studio dei Pearl Jam . Hanno ancora qualcosa da dire o anche per loro è arrivato il momento di mettere le idee da parte e suonare di "mestiere"? Giudizio complessivo : Dopo il debutto (e capolavoro) "Ten", i Pearl Jam hanno iniziato una lunga e lenta evoluzione verso quello che sono oggi: una un rock senza fronzoli che strizza l'occhio alla tradizione americana. "Backspacer" non è sicuramente uno di quei dischi destinati a rimanere nella storia, ma sinceramente, chi è che si aspettava un masterpiece dopo quasi [...]

In accordance with their consistent dedication to their fans over the years, Pearl Jam have made their latest record, Backspacer (the ninth studio record in the PJ catalog), available for streaming online. Take a listen at MySpace Music or over at the NME , for all you anglophiles, before you pick it up at Target next Tuesday.
