C. Hall, the Music Director and Assistant Program Director of 99.3 the Fox wanted you to know... :)
This Tuesday Tim Morgan of 99.3 the Fox (CFOX Vancouver, Canada) sat down with Ed Vedder to record an interview for the Canadian Album Premiere of at the time the still untitled album.
First question was the title of the album. Ed started to type, ripped out the paper handed it to Tim and said “it’s the one on the bottom”…”we just decided 2 minutes ago”
Tim was the first to get the scoop, and he kept the typed paper to boot. We received permission from the label to show the sheet on our site, along with a picture of Tim with Ed.

Pearl Jam have now finished work on their latest album. As yet untitled, it was produced by Adam Kasper and should be released later this year.
The band have re-entered the studio (after some pre-production
in February) to begin recording the next album this week.
Previous plans indicated that they'd be in for approximately
three months; sources now tell us that they could be out as
early as mid-May! Of course, this can change at any time.
Information also hints that Brendan O'Brien may be involved
with this record on some level.
This information seems to indicate that the band has a lot of
material ready, and that they anticipate a very smooth
recording process.
All of this bodes well for fans eagerly
awaiting new music from PJ!

A Hall of a Night For Rock Honorees
By DAVID HINCKLEY
Daily News Critic-at-Large
The Ramones' induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Monday was bittersweet even beyond the death last Easter of founder Joey Ramone. The band's internal division — only Tommy Ramone from the original group attended Joey's funeral — was reflected when Joey's brother and his mother, Charlotte Lescher, were seated at a different table from band members. They were not onstage to take Joey's statuette. "We had hoped to be," Lescher said afterward. "We weren't invited." Joey's statuette seemed to be left behind on the podium when band members walked off.Eddie Vedder always speaks slowly, as if he thinks about his words, but his speech for the Ramones, as he sipped wine, was particularly measured. Long, too. He was scheduled for three minutes and spoke for 18. Toward the end, he explained: "These are the Ramones and this is punk rock and I hope you're okay with that." When response was slow, he added, jokingly, "Apparently you're not. FUCK you!" Mainly, he said, it's significant for the industry to honor a band that basically said guitar-crazed kids created rock 'n' roll "and we're gonna take it back." Today, Vedder added, music is "Disney kids singing songs written by old men and being marketed to 6- and 7-year-olds. So some kind of change may have to happen again." Vedder described the Ramones' music as "fairly long songs played very, very quickly."
p.s. if you saw the induction on vh1, ed's time was edited down to about a minute!!

Totalrock NEWS – MONDAY, DECEMBER 17
Pearl Jam will start work on their seventh album early next year. The band are likely to include two songs recently previewed live, namely ‘The Last Soldier’ and ‘I Am Mine’. Fans can expect the record to be issued during 2002. And guitarist Stone Gossard is also set to work with his side project band Brad on their next album.
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, the Black Crowes, Sarah McLachlan, the Wallflowers, Ben Harper, and Nick Cave are among the artists who have recorded Beatles covers for the V2 soundtrack to "I Am Sam," starring Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer. The album, due Jan. 8, also features Beatles covers by Aimee Mann and Michael Penn, Ben Folds, Paul Westerberg, Grandaddy, Stereophonics, Heather Nova, the Vines, Howie Day, Chocolate Genius, and, as first reported here, Rufus Wainwright and Sean Lennon.
The film, which hits U.S. theaters on Dec. 28, centers around the struggles of the mentally challenged Sam Diamond (Penn), who is trying to retain custody of his young daughter just as her burgeoning mental capacity threatens to overshadow his own. Penn's character is obsessed with Beatles minutiae, from the John Lennon posters that adorn his apartment to the naming of his daughter Lucy as an homage to the song "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," covered on the soundtrack by the Black Crowes.
"I Am Sam" was co-written, produced, and directed by Jessie Nelson, who co-wrote and produced the 1999 Pfeiffer vehicle "The Story of Us." And while listeners have gotten used to soundtracks loaded with songs that have no bearing on the movie itself, "I Am Sam" producer Rick Solomon of Bedford Falls Company tells Billboard.com, "these songs and these usages have existed in every single draft" of the five-year-old script. Solomon adds that Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney each gave their blessing to the project.
A number of the covers appear in the film, including Mann and Penn's "Two of Us," Harper's "Strawberry Fields Forever," and Vedder's solo rendition of "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away." Aside from a handful of guest spots -- many of them unbilled -- the latter track marks Vedder's first major non-Pearl Jam recording since "The Long Road" and "The Face of Love," his collaborations with the late Pakistani vocalist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan on the 1996 "Dead Man Walking" soundtrack.
"Getting Eddie was the lynchpin to everything," Solomon says. "He's friends with Sean [Penn]. He gives you such unbelievable artistic credibility. We were then able to get these other wonderful people, and it seems like they're all very much of a piece with one another."
McLachlan's interpretation of "Blackbird" is her first new recording since the 1999 Arista live album "Mirrorball," while Westerberg's take on "Nowhere Man" is his first release since 1999's "Suicane Gratification" set on Capitol. The Wallflowers' cover of "I'm Looking Through You" features guest vocals by Jackson Browne, at whose studio the song was recorded.
"I Am Sam" also features appearances by mentally disabled actors Brad Silverman and Joe Rosenberg, whom filmmakers met while doing research at L.A. Goal, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting developmentally disabled adults. "When V2 got familiar with the organization, they committed to donating some of the proceeds [from the soundtrack] back to L.A. Goal," Solomon says. "When that happened, it engendered all of this good will. People cut songs for very small amounts of money."
Here is the tracklist for the "I Am Sam" soundtrack:
"Blackbird," Sarah McLachlan
"Two of Us," Aimee Mann and Michael Penn
"I'm Looking Through You," the Wallflowers
"Across the Universe," Rufus Wainwright and Sean Lennon
"Strawberry Fields Forever," Ben Harper
"You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," Eddie Vedder
"Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the Black Crowes
"Golden Slumbers," Ben Folds
"Nowhere Man," Paul Westerberg
"Let It Be," Nick Cave
"Don't Let Me Down," the Stereophonics
"We Can Work It Out," Heather Nova
"I'm Only Sleeping," the Vines
"Help!," Howie Day
"Revolution," Grandaddy
"Julia," Chocolate Genius

Seattle is preparing for Sunday's (Oct. 14) kickoff of Groundwork 2001, a week of concerts striving to raise awareness of solutions to world hunger and money to help small farmers in developing countries. As first reported in August, the sold-out event features performances from R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews, Emmylou Harris, Daniel Lanois, the Wallflowers, Chris Whitley, Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros, Afro-Celt Sound System, Joe Henry, Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson, and Femi Kuti, among others.
For R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, the most appealing aspect of Groundwork is that it's not another money-driven charity: it's an organization that encourages people to be proactive and productive.
"Of course, funding is important," the guitarist says. "But the fact that the money goes to empowering people to take action in improving their lives -- and the world around them -- is what's so attractive. The more we learned about Groundwork's intentions, the more me and my band wanted to lend our name and time to it."
Organized by veteran human rights activist Jack Healey, Groundwork 2001 coincides with the Oct. 16 worldwide observation of World Food Day. It's a series of events that Healey believes is more important now than ever. "We hope the concerts will play a role in helping us heal our collective psyche through the power of music," he says. "What better way to stand up to acts of terror and violence than to reach beyond our borders in an effort to take away two of terrorism's favorite recruitment tools: poverty and hunger."
For Buck, doing the show helps cure some of what he calls an "overall feeling of helplessness. It's energizing to do something to help make the world better" Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament agrees, adding that he believes the sentiment will soon begin to spread. "Once some of the shock of Sept. 11 subsides, people are going to begin thinking about living in more human, earthly terms, and less about having a 'dotcom' lifestyle," he says. "Groundwork is about living in human terms. It's about teaching people how to farm and feed themselves. That's a worthwhile endeavor for everyone to support."
In addition to the concert series, the music industry will support Groundwork with a compilation CD featuring tracks donated by Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Moby, David Gray, and Tom Waits, among others. The disc will be sold at all Hear Music and Starbucks locations in the U.S. It can also be purchased via the Groundwork official Web site.
Proceeds from Groundwork sales and events are used....

This week's award goes to a brave chap by the name of Eddie Vedder.
News reaches the 'Crasher this week that the PEARL JAM frontman was recently set upon by a disturbing young man named Richard Lee, who has been making a name for himself with his own public access TV show, 'Kurt Cobain Was Murdered'. Full of the type of conspiracies usually espoused by toothless simpletons in Wyoming, Lee has begun attending public meetings, including a recent council-led discussion on all ages shows attended by Vedder and former NIRVANA bassist Krist Novoselic. Lee trained his camcorder on Vedder throughout and refused to desist. Finally, the irate and embarrassed Pearl Jammer upped and left, allegedly whispering "You're a real motherf**ker" in the ear of the hapless fruitcake. Nice one, Edward, nice one son, etc...

PEARL JAM
frontman Eddie Vedder spoke at a political rally for Green Party presidential nominee Ralph Nader on September 23. Pearl Jam have already donated several thousand dollars to Nader to help his campaign -even if four-fifths of them didn't immediately know it. "The next day," said Vedder, "I told them, 'Hey, we donated a few grand to Nader!'.They said, 'Okay, but we have a few questions'. I think those questions are being answered."
