I was trying to be silly by posting that gibberish from "Jeremy" but honestly I think it's a great song.. I might think so partially because the video is pretty intense. I wasn't sure what Vedder was doing at the VMA's when I was watching.. I think by that point I was still pumped up from Nirvana's performance.. But upon more recent viewings, Vedder clearly shapes his fingers like a gun and points it into his mouth with his eyes all bulging and looking crazy.. and at the end of the song it sounds like he's quoting lyrics from Dead Boys' "Sonic Reducer."

My friend's old band used to cover Sonic Reducer but they were covering Pearl Jam covering it, they'd never heard the Dead Boys' version.

I don't think I've ever heard Pearl Jam.

"07/13/91 – The Marquee Room: New York, NYThis date is originally listed as Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ, but Pearl Jam was instead inserted into a lineup featuring Sub Pop bands Rev. Horton Heat, Afghan Whigs, Gorilla, Beasts of Bourbon, Codeine. Could Pearl Jam have played a later set at Maxwell’s? Possible, but we’re not entirely sure. We are particularly amused that the same general period that Pearl Jam played the Marquee Room, so did Tribe After Tribe (whose frontman Robbi Robb went on to Three Fish with Jeff), The La’s (whose “Timeless Melody” was a favorite PJ cover in 2000), not to mention Firehose (fronted by Mike Watt, who Ed recorded and toured with four years later)."
I saw this show 2 weeks before the album release I guess? There were a lot of lame stains swingin’ on the flippity flop.

God, those one-word titles. So pretentious. As a result, I have no memory at all of what like five of these songs sound like

Fun trivia, iirc Nirvana played the tiiiiiny Dobbs in Philly right around when Nevermind came out. I remember PJ coming back to play the Trocadero, but my hipster friends wouldn't go.
