I was thinking when I saw this about how taken Stone has been with Hank Williams recently (and who wouldn't be). I would've expected his Pearl Jam material to taken a similar approach, but thus far with what we've heard from the album, he's surprised me by going in a very, very different direction from that stuff. He's been covering alot of ground lately.

Anyways, back on topic; yeah, I'd love to be there. Wish I didn't live 3000 miles away, although I may be a Seattle resident soon.

hopefully stone plays his new stuff. i love the 1999 cover. it would be great to give him some solo time and play "your flames" w/ pearl jam.

Stone's a pretty, how to I put it, "unconventional" singer, but I think with that material last year he was putting out last year I thought he wrote stuff that went very well with his voice. The woman he was singing with added really beautiful harmonies, as well. I wonder if we'll see that material on an album some day.

i never heard about this video:

it's just a youtube video there, but i'm too lazy to embed it

i hope at least stone's portion of this finds its way to youtube or at least a recording cause i'd love to get a copy.

I'd like to share some Cool Water with Barb Ireland.....

i just started listening to Bayleaf. it suprised me with its awesomeness. i like it, and not in the "Pearl Jam guy made it so its good" way.
