Since my little brother is returning from Italy tomorrow, and I also have something big planned for Pearl Jam in May, “Brother” has been playing a lot this week.
“Brother” appears on Pearl Jam’s Lost Dogsalbum, which is full of rarities. It was originally an outtake from their debut album Ten.
Apparently this song almost broke the band up before […]
Well, today is the day that a lot of music fans have been waiting for.

It’s a pretty cool song, but should anyone really complain? I mean Trent is really sticking to this giving away music thing, which is awesome.
