Austin City Limits SIMULCAST... who's going?

Hey guys,

Just want to let everyone know, I'll be at the Pearl Jam SIMULCAST of the taping of Pearl Jam on ACL TV show(airing Nov. 21st - check local listings). I will be there around 5 or 6 to get into the auditorium for a good seat. I'm hoping to catch a few of you dedicated PJ fans to get your comments on the taping. I will be giving a FULL report of the weekend events on this site and on a upcoming podcast. I'll be wearing a "Given To Cast" t-shirt. If you see me, come up and say "hey, are you that dude..." Here's the info. about the simulcast:

Simulcast of Pearl Jam Taping

Austin City Limits will tape a performance by Pearl Jam on Saturday, October 3. Our studio capacity is too limited to meet the demands for this taping and we didn’t want our loyal blog readers to miss out on it so we’re video streaming the live recording direct from our studio to fans in the Hogg Memorial Auditorium.


We’ll be giving away tickets to the simulcast at noon on Friday, October 2, at KLRU-TV (map to KLRU ). Tickets will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, four (4) per person limit until supplies run out. We’ll be giving away more than 400 tickets to the simulcast, so bring your friends.

Remember, this is not to the studio taping, but to the simulcast party. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the screening will start at 8 p.m. Hogg Memorial Auditorium is located on the University of Texas campus, directions here .


BTW, be sure to check out my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/giventocast) for LIVE updates and setlist of Saturday night and Sunday shows.

VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO:

Pearl Jam and Target have partnered with eco-friendly clothing designer, Loomstate, to create a limited-edition Pearl Jam Backspacer t-shirt to be sold in select Target stores beginning Sunday, September 20th.

All proceeds benefit Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity. The limited-edition shirts were made in the USA and are 100 % organic cotton. The front of the t-shirt features Backspacer artwork from renowned cartoonist Tom Tomorrow.

Backspacer has leaked... It was a matter of time

Hey guys,

It seems that the hard work PJ has done to keep Backspacer under wraps till the 20th has ended. According to some unnamed sources, Backspacer has leaked. It was bound to happen but I have to say they did a pretty good job controling the release up til now.

I am not going to be a party to giving out information on how to get it. If you really want it, you do that part yourself. I will say that you should be very careful downloading any files because they could contain viruses.

Reminder: I will be doing a podcast dedicated to reviewing Backspacer on Sept. 20th hopefully it'll be up by that night. Anyone interested in participating, email me at mario@giventocast.com

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you guys know that The Outsideland Festival Aug. 28-30 will be webcast through You Tube. If you want to see Pearl Jam play on Aug. 28 or other bands all weekend long, head over to

www.youtube.com/outsidelands

and start jammin' on Friday. It's gonna be a great weekend!!!


UPDATE: It seems Pearl Jam is NOT on the list of bands that will be on webcast. Though it doesn't say they are not gonna play on the webcast. There is a slot for them to play so there's still a chance. Tune in to find out. My guess is that they are not gonna play.

We've broken the triple digit mark!!!

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone that has subscribed to this podcast. As of today, Given To Cast has 100 subscribers. That's huge for me. I never thought anyone would be listening out there. I appreciate all of you taking the time to subscribe. I hope to continue what I am doing and hopefully improving as time goes on. (I need not worry cuz I know you guys will let me know if it starts going south.)

I want to especially thank The Sky I Scrape, Two Feet Thick and All That's Sacred for spreading the word.

Thank you so much!!!

Target begins taking Pre-Orders for "Backspacer"

If you want to pre-order from another outlet other than the ten club site, you can pre-order from Target. Here's the article from Mel Duncan at The Pearl Jam Examiner



Love Pearl Jam but suffer from agoraphobia or some other crippling social disorder that would disable you from buying Backspacer the day of it’s release? No worries, as a member of the Ten Club, Pearl Jam’s official fan club, you can - - huh? What? You’re not a member?

Okay, good news then. Now, on Target’s site, you can put in your order for Backspacer, Pearl Jam’s upcoming ninth studio album, for $11.98 plus $2.99 shipping. As previously reported, Target customers will get two full concert downloads (out of 12, of which the band hasn’t made public their selections).

The bummer here is that it looks like Target won't be carrying the vinyl version. For that, you would have to join the fan club.

Shoppers can also pick up a Target exclusive Pearl Jam t-shirt, but the price or design is not available yet.

Given To Cast - Aug. 15, 2009

Hey guys,

Sorry for this, iTunes subscribers. Hope you download it anyway. It's good one, musically.

UPDATE: Hope it's orking now... Pliease can an iTunes subscriber let me know if it's working now? Thanks

Ever wondered if Eddie Vedder does Karaoke??? Well, wonder no more.

Ever go to sing Karaoke with friends? I have and it takes a bit of "liquid courage" to get up there and pick your favorite song and try to pull it off without looking like a dork.

Well, I recently so this on The Red Mosquito Forum (theskyiscrape.com's fourm) of Eddie doing karaoke after a Cubs game. I didn't believe it. So I click it and sure enough, it's our favorite frontman, singing U2's Where the Streets Have No Name", The Beatles, "Yellow Submarine" and Sonny and Cher's "I got You Babe". Here's the link to the video of the U2 song:

EDDIE VEDDER DOES KARAOKE

This is classic. I think was feeling pretty good!

Buying the New Album at Target... it may be worth

It may be worth buying the new album from target

from Billboard.com article

The Target discs will link to a virtual "vault" of 11 concerts spanning Pearl Jam's career, from which fans can choose two. The band will also create an organic cotton T-shirt to be sold at Target, with proceeds earmarked for the hunger relief charity Feeding America. And in September, a Cameron Crowe-directed TV ad will air featuring footage shot during a private performance at Seattle's Showbox in late May.
