Pearl Jam Ten Code - Part 7
On March - 24 - 2009
March 24, 2009 is finally here - the day all the Pearl Jam TEN reissues hit the stores! More details on all the releases are online at www.pearljam.com.
Today’s show features one of the bonus tracks featured on all the configurations - “Just a Girl.” A very rare track from the early Pearl Jam demos that the band may have only performed live once or twice.
Eddie and Stone Gossard also take us back to their earliest days together when they were named “Mookie Blaylock,” and the strange encounters they had with the former NBA star who inspired them.
Monty Python - part 1
On March - 23 - 2009
35 years ago today…Monty Python’s concert at the The Royal Theatre in Drury Lane (best known at the home of the muffin man) was recorded for their 1974 Live at Drury Lane album. To celebrate this moment in Monty Python history, we feature nothing from this recording in the first episode of the Gazillionth (or so) Monty Python Podcast hosted by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann.
Instead, you will hear clips of classic routines and songs recorded for some of their other classic albums, as well as comments from cast members Terry Jones and Eric Idle and MP historian Kim Howard Johnson about how politics, history and the news inspired their work.
In other Python news, a charity screening of Life of Brian is set for this Sat March 28 in the Welsh village of Aberystwyth, where the fim was banned in 1979. Terry Jones and Michael Palin will appear, but not Eric Idle, most likely due to a previously scheduled brunch the next morning to celebrate his 66th birthday.

Pearl Jam Ten Code - Part 5
On March - 20 - 2009
Today’s Pearl Jam Ten Code episode goes back to the 1991 Eddie Vedder interview and his thoughts on stage diving and other antics he frequently performed on stage back then. It’s interesting to hear his perspective back then on how he didn’t plan to keep doing those things once fans became more familiar with their songs. We then launch into a high energy live performance from the TEN tour of “State of Love and Trust” from the 1992 “Drop in the Park” show featured in the 4-LP Vinyl Edition release.

March is John Philip Sousa’s favorite month, and 23 is a lucky number inspired by the recent news of Python’s 23,000% DVD sales increase due to youtube. Therefore, our four-part podcast series will launch on Monday, March 23.
The series features clips of their sketches and musical pieces they recorded for their string of classic albums that brought their comedy empire beyond TV and film to the most enduring entertainment device of them all - the turntable. You’ll also hear interviews with cast members Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Terry Jones, plus Carol Cleveland and many others.
We know you can’t wait until Monday so here’s Keith Olbermann (aka K-Dog) with a preview of what you’ll hear.
