All That's Sacred, Episode #38 |

Episode #38 is now available.
Anticipation for some new news from the PJ camp has the natives restless and tensions heightened. While there still hasn’t been any additional band dates announced for 2010, Seattleites, at least, were glad to hear Mike McCready has two upcoming gigs benefitting the crisis in Haiti and the CCFA.
Hopefully episode #38 can help those fans jonesing for a PJ fix in some small way. This week we are exploring some of the many cover songs the band has treated us to over the years. Despite having help in song selection with some great listener suggestions, it was hard to not get carried away with so much great material to choose from. That being the case - and the fact that I got a little chatty - resulted in this being the longest podcast to date at just over 1 hour 18 minutes! Hope y'all consider this to be a good thing.

From Ed, 1/27/2010:
One phrase that Howard Zinn made irrelevant is that "only the good die young.,," Howard Zinn passed away today at age 87, and he was great.
Though he had a full life, one that the rest of us can only aspire to, the news is still heartbreaking. For we have lost a truly bright light, and a wisdom seemingly unparalleled.
Fortunately he has left us with a body of work so extraordinary that it will be drawn upon for centuries to come...
He was a true and constant source of inspiration for myself and countless others.. For me, he was the true embodiment of hope... And a living reminder to keep that hope alive.
I'm so grateful for his friendship..
I will miss him for the rest of my days.

Episode #37 is now available.
I’m still getting my head screwed on straight after my trip down south and, as a result, we are making it up as we go today and catching up on some listener requests on episode #37. Lots of great suggestions and I hope you enjoy the show despite my ramblings. There’s been a bump in traffic to the site and it seems like some new listeners have discovered the podcast so I took a few minutes to address some recent questions concerning subscribing and downloading old episodes.
I also talked a bit about something new I’m exploring: All That’s Sacred swag! I created a new ATS logo for Twitter and Facebook that really seemed to resonate with people. So I decided to slap that sucker on some gear and make it available to buy. A modest royalty on each item will be donated to the charities CaringBridge and Doctors Without Borders. Please explore the site and order if interested.
Thanks for tuning in and see you next week with something a bit more realized.

Tour Plans Begin to Sneak Out |

Well, we don't know all that much, but TwoFeetThick has posted an interview with Boom that implies touring may begin in March and another rumor suggesting an April 19th date in Florida. The New Orleans Jazz Festival has announced that Pearl Jam will play on May 1st.
I'm certain that heads are exploding over at the "Remember when Pearl Jam announced entire tours so you could plan for it?" Facebook Page, but we could maybe, possibly, kinda get some Pearl Jam in the US this spring.

"What? Pay for music that's already on the Internet?" Shut up, and spend a dollar to benefit Haiti. You'll get a clean recording and someone in Haiti will get a day's wage.

10 Best Easy Street Live Performances |

Thanks to Donny from All That's Sacred for the tip on this write up by Matt Vaughn, owner of Easy Street Records in Seattle, who writes up his 10 favorite in-store performances. You may recognize number one. If you don't have the EP, Half Full will revitalize your interest in Riot Act!
I had never had to hold a secret like this one. [ ... ] Pearl Jam, Kelly, and I held the secret for about a month. A few days before the show, I had to tell two of my managers (they were held to secrecy), but other than that nobody was informed. I bussed the indie store guys out to join my staff at our “work party.” The band hid out in the vinyl section upstairs, which I had roped off - nobody could see them. Read the rest as well as the whole list here.

All That's Sacred, Episode #36 |

Episode #36 is now available.
As promised, episode #36 explores Eddie Vedder’s contributions to movie soundtracks – the most notable, of course, being Into The Wild. A few covers and collaborations and a bunch of originals comprise a solo body of work that ranges from serious and reflective to determined and whimsical. All in all, it’s a fascinating look at our favorite front man exploring new musical territory outside the framework of the band.
Next week I plan to catch up on some listener requests and suggestions as I get back into the swing of things after my brief trip back down south. I’ve already got more than enough suggested material to fill the podcast but if you have something to contribute for a future show, please contact me by email, leave a comment on the site or call the podcast voicemail at 707-SACRED9 (707-722-7339). Also, remember to check out and follow ATS on Twitter and Facebook.
Hope you enjoy #36.
