Dave Grohl with Them Crooked VulturesThe Dell Sound & the Jury competition that began months earlier with hundreds of bands competing online came to a head a couple days ago when The Bright Light Social Hour was chosen as top band. Their reward: To be one of the bands to kick off ACL Fest. Their Dell Stage performance didn't disappoint. They are a blast to watch, and I can't get their songs out of my head. I missed most of the other early bands as we were busy at the Paste Media Tent doing video interviews with artists for a later... read more

Found in: Music, FeaturesWailers and Wannabes: A Lexicon of Eddie Vedder Sound-Alikes
Eddie Vedder's back-of-the-throat singing voice is something like a hybrid between a goat-man, Jim Morrison and a Wookie. In other words, it's really hard to find the right words to do justice to his oh-so-masculine tremolo. It's one of those things that's easier to just sing (or draw) than describe.

For your consideration, then, a collection of vocalists who try to sound like Eddie Vedder, rated on a one-to-four scale of... read more

Pearl Jam has long been linked to flannel, but what about tie-dye? As the band closes in on its second decade making music, Pearl Jam and its follow-them-anywhere fans have slowly become one of the tightest communities in rock ’n’ roll, complete with a vibrant bootleg trade centered around the band’s ever-changing, much-lauded live show that many claim transcends the pomp and circumstance of normal rock shows for something more human. Sound like a mouthful? Sure. Sound like the Grateful Dead? Absolutely.... read more

Found in: Music, FeaturesEddie Vedder Vs. The World: A Butcher Ranks the Many Beefs of Pearl Jam's Frontman
Eddie Vedder beefs with the best of 'em. From his quarrels with Ticketmaster to drunken barfights, Vedder’s been involved in one beef or another for much of his long career, and he’s more apt to tackle it swinging on the rafters than sitting down. But which of Vedder’s beefs have been truly palatable morsels and which are just throwaway scraps? To sort through all the beef, we turned to an expert. Lynne Sawicki of Sawicki’s Meat, Seafood and More (an establishment which, it should be mentioned, makes a damn fine sandwich) in Decatur, Ga. weighs in on each of a... read more
