New Eddie Vedder (Feat. Corin Tucker) - "Hard Sun"
EdVed (thanks for the nickname, Nic Offer!!!) buddy Sean Penn produces and directs the forthcoming biopic Into The Wild (based on a novel of the same name by Jon Krakauer), dealing with the life and times of Christopher McCandless: a road traveler who starved to death at 24 after a temporarily successful/ultimately doomed attempt to live off the land in the Alaskan wilderness. Billboard reports that Vedder is the main music man involved with the flick's soundtrack, with some assists from Kaki King; composer Michael Brook; and on the Gordon Peterson (aka Indio) cover "Hard Sun," Sleater-Kinney punk princess Corin Tucker.
The Vedder/Tucker track's out there for your listening pleasure, and it's a nice treat for PJ lovers, opening with campfire acoustic-jangle feel, Corin filling out the refrain with open-skied harmonies, before moving into big hard sun 'n' fuzz-guitar terrain. Absorb at I Am Fuel, You Are Friends, and take the jump for EdVed's Into The Wild tracklist.

Thanks for the post. I know most of the kids don't dig Pearl Jam, but some of us Geezers still do.

Folks have been calling him "EdVed" for years and years and years now. Crediting Offer with that is kinda like hearing your little sister who's never seen an episode of 'Happy Days' shorten Fonzy to The Fonz and crying "eureka!".

Been a fan of pearl jam since i've caught them opening for nirvana and the red hot chili peppers in 90 or 91, yes i'll be qualified as a geezer! But this joint seems like the type of video that would be played on imf.com, the international music feed.

Am I just really high, or did not one sentence of that post actually make any sense whatsoever?

Got this yesterday. Good song, but I was slightly disappointed because my sources claimed it was a duet. Solo album Corin (or S-K reunion!)!

Come on 'Gum, Into the Wild is by no means a "novel." It's a true story, which makes it all that more phenomenal.

The book is a great and compelling story. Read it while traveling the tubes back and forth from the Trade Centers in NYC to Slopoken NJ. And PJ is at the top for me. I'll be sure to take in this flick. I've been hoping someone would put this together...
