I remember watching the movie the first time--it was just me and Sean sitting on the floor with a pack of smokes--and the whole thing was incredibly moving.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">You hadn't read the book?</span><br />No. Everyone else I knew had. It's one of those you read in college and then decide you're going to throw away your whole stupid life and run off to the woods and die. Yeah--or live. Learn from his mistakes. I think it will not only affect people who did that stuff, but people who didn't do it, and are wondering why they didn't, having lost that chance.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">Did you set out to compose so much of the soundtrack?</span><br />Sean just said, "Whatever you wanna do. Maybe it's music, maybe it's a song." So I spent three days giving him colors that I could paint with, 25 minutes of music. I didn't think anything was gonna come out of it. [But] Sean called and was like, "I've already put two pieces in, if you give me five or six more, it could be the interior voice of the character." As a parent, it's gotta be hard to see Wild--watching this kid turn his back on his family. I think parents will learn a lot from this, even if they haven't done anything wrong...yet. It's hard to get through a kid's life without f---ing them up. And no matter how good you are, at some point your kids have to create their own independence. These are troubled times, too. Do you force your kids to pay attention to what's going on, or do you let them live outside of it? My hope is that my child is a strong activist. That would make me most proud.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">What if she rebels against your liberal politics and becomes a neo-con?</span><br />[Laughs] Aaaah... It would be shocking. It's certainly not in her nature now. She's 3 years old. That's like the height of liberalism. Liberalism comes naturally.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">You also worked on Body of War about paralyzed Iraq vet Tomas Young, with codirector Phil Donohue. What stood out to you about the doc?</span><br />Plenty of stories have been told about what's criminal about this war. There's the political side, there's the monetary side, it's all intertwined. But this is the human side. It's incredibly violent to me, just watching what Tomas has to go through because he signed up on Sept. 13 and went over to fight the good fight, and he's paralyzed almost upon arrival. One casualty, of which I think now we have over 25,000.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">So you surely have vast plans for election season?</span><br />Um, I'm gonna vote. [Laughs] I'd like people to be educated on the voting machines, making sure our democracy isn't being hijacked by computer technology. We had Diebold machines when I worked at a gas station in 1989, so trucking companies could keep track of the gas they used. I know these machines really well. And there's no reason why they can't have a paper trail.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">Will there be any Vote for Change-type activity this time around?</span><br />Maybe we'll just play Ohio. For a month. Ohio and Florida.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Time Magazine (Ed w/Sean Penn):</span></strong><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">They're both rich and famous, they're both notoriously earnest and left-leaning, they both have reputations for being emotionally tortured. So it makes a kind of cosmic sense that Sean Penn and Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder would be friends; they have been since 1995, when Vedder wrote music for Dead Man Walking, in which Penn starred. Both are currently experiencing second acts, Penn as a director and Vedder as a film composer. </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">The duo have now collaborated: Vedder has written the sound track for Penn's movie Into the Wild, based on the book by Jon Krakauer. Later this month Vedder will release a CD of songs written for or inspired by the movie, the closest thing to a solo album he's ever done.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Into the Wild is the true story of Chris McCandless, a good kid from a prosperous but unhappy family, who left home, burned his money, changed his name to Alexander Supertramp and in 1992 walked off into the Alaskan wilderness. He died there of starvation 16 weeks after he arrived. What was he looking for? Penn and Vedder--who are a lot funnier than they get credit for--talked to <span style="color:#cc0000;">Lev Grossman</span> about this and other profound questions, like how you keep a huge grizzly bear happy on a movie set.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">What made you pick up Krakauer's book?</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>PENN:</strong></span> The cover grabbed me--the bus, the image of the bus with the title Into the Wild on it. I've made a lot of decisions in my life that you could call judging a book by its cover. And I've become a real advocate of it. So I took the book home, and I read it cover to cover twice, and I went to sleep in the wee hours and immediately got up in the morning, and I saw in essence the movie that you saw last night.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">What was it about what McCandless did that got to you?</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">PENN:</span></strong> I really think that we shouldn't just accept rites-of-passage opportunities as they come, because what we'll find is that they don't come in our world anymore. And we shouldn't look at them as a kind of luxury or romantic dream but as something vital to being alive. McCandless quotes somebody else in the movie: "If just once you put yourself in the most ancient of circumstances ..." This is where nature comes into it--and I think that Eddie and I share this feeling--that every sober-minded person of any belief would probably agree that the biggest issue is quality of life. You've gotta feel your own life to have a quality of life, and our own inauthenticity, our corruptions, get in the way of that. The wilderness is relentlessly authentic.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Have you ever gone through anything like that? A rite of passage?</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>PENN:</strong></span> Formatively the experience I had, where I found the beginning of the map to figure out how to feel my own life, would have come from surfing as a kid. My wilderness is the ocean, and my experience with risk and conquering fear was the ocean.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Being alone like that can help people find themselves, but it can also make them fall apart.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></strong></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">VEDDER:</span></strong> See, I love it. I need it. I'm a better person because of it. I mean, I feel really blessed even to have had the opportunity of disappearing on an island or something and not seeing anybody for weeks. It makes me somebody that somebody else could live with. That's another thing, when you talk about the environment and how precious it is: it makes us better people.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">How did you get into doing sound tracks, what with being a huge rock star and all? Is it a lot different from doing Pearl Jam?</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">VEDDER:</span></strong> Yeah, it's easy. Really. I almost don't remember a thing. It was like I kinda went into some weird space for a week or two, and then I woke up out of this daze, and it was done. I don't really remember it.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">That doesn't even sound like work.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>VEDDER:</strong></span> I was thinking about it yesterday. I don't trust art that was made easy. If there's not some kind of pain involved, then I don't trust it. And I thought, Well, how can I be honest and tell people that it was easy? But what I figured out is that the hard part was 25 years ago, when I went through what this kid went through. I went through pain, but it was just a long time ago. And I guess what's a little bit worrisome to me is how easy it was to access it. You know? That I just had to barely put my finger in. It was right there on the surface. I thought I'd grown up much more. I'm glad there was a use for it, but now I've got to tuck it away again.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">So how does it work? Sean, do you just go to Eddie and say, "Here's a bit with a guy hitchhiking. Write a song that would sound good with that"?</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">PENN:</span></strong> Well, I'd written the script originally structured for songs. I love that kind of thing in movies. I was born in 1960, so you can do the math and figure out that I was just coming into my own with Harold and Maude, and earlier than that, Simon and Garfunkel and The Graduate, and Coming Home. It just added something, letting your songwriter be a co-author of the script in many ways.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">VEDDER:</span></strong> It was like a factory, where I would sit in a chair and they'd hand me instruments. We'd just keep going, and I didn't have to teach anybody the part or talk them into the idea, the theory, the soul of whatever the piece was. I'd just sit in the chair, and they'd hand me a fretless bass, and they'd hand me a mandolin, and they'd take a second to do the rough mix, and then I'd write the vocal, and it was just quick. It was as in the moment as you could be, and in that way it's like a great feeling of being alive. You'd hear two pieces at the end of the day--or three--and feel like you were actually doing something on this planet while you were here.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Some of the vocals were wordless, just these howling chants ...</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>VEDDER:</strong></span> That was all stuff I did not-to-picture. In a way--like the music for the scene on the mountaintop--I don't think I would have done that [if I had seen the footage]. I would have felt too--like if you could be both vulnerable and pretentious at the same time?</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></strong></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">PENN:</span></strong> [Laughs.] Leave that to me! </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Emile Hirsch [who plays McCandless] goes through a truly shocking physical transformation to show McCandless starving to death. How'd you achieve that?</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">PENN:</span></strong> Turns out he has phenomenal willpower. A 21-year-old kid, who just got the right to go drinking with the guys in the bar, and he is by choice sober. By choice a monk for eight months. He was in a room watching his feet roll under him on a treadmill or doing pushups or eating another glass of water with lemon in it for dinner every night for eight months. You know, that's really, really hard.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">He has a scene with a bear that got some audible gasps.</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>PENN:</strong></span> He was an 8-ft. 6-in. grizzly bear, and if he wasn't a good bear, I wouldn't be here right now. But no flinching from Emile--he just stood there, six inches away from that thing.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">What do you do when the bear's not being a good bear?</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>PENN:</strong></span> You say, "Good boy," all day long. Or the trainer does. And he gives him a lot of chocolate whipped cream.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">McCandless doesn't come off as a saint in the movie. I mean, he won't call his parents even though they're desperate to hear from him. He's angry.</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">PENN:</span></strong> You know, this is subject to a lot of personal stuff on anybody's part--yours, mine. My answer to "He should have called his parents" is "Who says?" I understand it, but I walked in my shoes, not his shoes. What I do know is that if you're not feeling your life, you are obligated first to do everything it takes to feel your life. I've done many things without the intention of hurting people that have hurt people. And I'm saying this knowing that I've got two kids that are coming up to that age myself right now.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Eddie, you talked before about how much you have in common with McCandless. [Vedder has a famously difficult relationship with his stepfather, as McCandless did with his father.] Did doing the movie help you get over that pain at all?</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">VEDDER:</span></strong> Not enough. But it'll do for now. I don't think it's gonna go away. I think in the last 10 to 15 years, I've just been able to not let that person and that part of me be in charge--that guy is in the car, but we just don't let him drive. That's something Springsteen told me once, and it really works. He'll be talking in your ear in the backseat, but just don't let him get behind the wheel. And you can be proud of it. I've talked to the people that raised me, and I've thanked them for giving me a lifetime's worth of material. I was talking to Bono in Australia last year, and we mentioned something about family histories, and he was like, Wow, they really gave you some good stuff to write about. It was like he wanted to hug them and thank them.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">PENN:</span></strong> My mother was reading this article about me in Esquire last month, and she called me up, and she said [Penn does his mother's voice], "Well, I thought it was an interesting article, but you know, the one thing, every time I'm sitting with you, you have a Diet Coke. Why is it that you're an alcoholic? I'm the alcoholic!" It was as though I'd stolen her mantle!</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">The thing I can't figure out about Into the Wild is if it's a happy story or a sad one. McCandless experiences so much joy, but then he dies in the end ...</span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>PENN:</strong></span> Let me tell you what I think. My Uncle Bill, who was dying--with 13 cousins that he had all with my Aunt Joan, they had a great, happy marriage for all their years. So there he is on his deathbed. He'd been in a coma a couple of days, and a priest has come in to give last rites. This was the first time, Irish that they are, that my aunt let a tear fall, trusting that his coma would make him unaware of it. Well, open come the eyes, and he sees. He catches her--she can't get away with it. And his last words were "What're ya crying about? You're gonna die too." Chris McCandless lived too short, that's true, but he, in my view, put an entire life from birth to the wisdom of age into those years.</span>Big Wave Riderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02374570852230938494noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704787325409727044.post-29558244009403011222007-09-16T01:24:00.000-07:002008-12-09T18:29:35.499-08:00Weekly News Round-Up<strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">-</span></strong> It seems PJ can claim victory in their battle against AT&T, as a spokeswoman for the company said they would <span style="color:#cc0000;">no longer be censoring their webcasts</span>, but rather display a message at the bottom of the screen during them, advising viewer discretion<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">-</span></strong> Ed has been doing the rounds this week, kicking off with a performance at the Into The Wild premiere in Toronto, he played a short 4 song set.

Vedder, along with other artists such as Stevie Nicks, Dave Grohl and others, will talk about Tom Petty & his historical group's legacy. It hits in October.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">-</span></strong> He also appears in Michael Moore's new documentary "<span style="color:#cc0000;">Captain Mike Across America</span>", which follows Moore going from stadium to stadium in 62 cities in the dying days of the 2004 presidential campaign for his "Slacker Uprising Tour 2004", bashing US President George W. Bush. Pearl Jam's Ed Vedder and other artists such as Steve Earle, Tom Morello and Joan Baez break up the film with their live performances during several dates of this tour.<br /><br />- Ed also appeared on Michael Stipe's (R.E.M.) photography website as the photo of the day, rather cheese-tastic, don't you think?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdIIR42FvidcflQkvu3OTWUNoRLgqGFeBnUb59Qxsul5crSoW6CyDWs0mUT3CVEmRFwUqCVJdCvL66hu-OOs5rfmTfuVj_DmUOa1NwjSdylim5AympBAxEdKojBzsNWR8xKG6sJI6e_M0k/s1600-h/futurepicenter_download.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110720587256592514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdIIR42FvidcflQkvu3OTWUNoRLgqGFeBnUb59Qxsul5crSoW6CyDWs0mUT3CVEmRFwUqCVJdCvL66hu-OOs5rfmTfuVj_DmUOa1NwjSdylim5AympBAxEdKojBzsNWR8xKG6sJI6e_M0k/s320/futurepicenter_download.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">-</span></strong> Chris Cornell has not closed the door on recording a follow-up to Temple Of The Dog, it seems:<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">"</span></strong>I think some combination of those people making a record is always going to appeal to me. I don't know if it'll be called Temple of the Dog but some collaboration with any combination of those guys, I'll always be open to because it was such a great experience. Quite literally Temple of the Dog is the reason why Audioslave happened as far as I'm concerned. That was the only reason I was really open to it. After Temple of the Dog I felt that I wanted to always keep an open mind in my career about different collaborations because I felt like that was an exciting experience and it taught me that it was totally possible and pretty painless to do it.<strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">"</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">-</span></strong> Finally, check out the official video for Ed's new single, <span style="color:#cc0000;">Hard Sun:</span><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hZaxrhtgltI"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hZaxrhtgltI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Big Wave Riderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02374570852230938494noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704787325409727044.post-65613517795858457342007-09-08T06:29:00.000-07:002007-09-08T06:37:01.787-07:00YouTube Video Of The WeekThis week, we check out one of the better fan-made videos for PJ, for the No Code fan favourite, In My Tree.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Leave a comment and let us know what you think...<br /></span></strong><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uY0ZsR5NC34"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uY0ZsR5NC34" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Big Wave Riderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02374570852230938494noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704787325409727044.post-57937551855294160722007-09-08T06:16:00.000-07:002007-09-08T06:29:26.965-07:00Weekly News Round-Up<strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">-</span></strong> You can now pre-order Ed's 'Into The Wild' from 10C, and get a limited edition T-shirt with your purchase.

At some point we are responsible.” </div><div>He also said environmentalism has changed. “I don't think it's about chaining yourself to trees anymore, it's about doing business right. It's about finding a better business model.” </div><br /><div></div><div>Vedder said the idea of being given an award for environmentalism was “like being given an award for breathing. It's what you have to do to stay alive.” Ha added: "What's really important is to be here tonight with the people (environmental organizations) that do the real work. </div><div>As a band we help raise visibility and we donate a minimal amount of money, but if the environmental movement is like a wave, the nonprofits are the surfboard steering us on the wave, and we (the band) are like the wax just trying to make things stick with the public." </div><br /><div></div><div>But Vedder also had some fun, taking a surfer's point of view of work.“I had a choice to write a speech or go for a three-hour surf with Mark Richards. I went for a surf.” </div><br /><div>He also poked fun at his coziness with the big names of surfing. “I never got to see Hendrix play, but it's OK because I got to see Rob (Machado) and Kelly (Slater) surf Pipeline. </div><div>I never got to see Perry Como or Andy Williams either, but when I watch Rob and Kelly play golf, I think it's the same.”<strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">"</span></strong></div><br /><div></div><div><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="http://www.surfline.com/">http://www.surfline.com/</a></span> </div><br /><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.pearljamonline.it/EdVed2007/WB_07-73A.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.pearljamonline.it/EdVed2007/WB_07-48A.JPG" border="0" /></div>Big Wave Riderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02374570852230938494noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704787325409727044.post-49337703470422069552007-08-25T08:05:00.000-07:002007-08-25T08:18:30.748-07:00Seattle Market Party VideosMike closes the show with his rendition of 'Star Spangled Banner'<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fiE_TAJpCd0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fiE_TAJpCd0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Mike performs 'Spanish Castle Magic' with The Iconics<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DtsGE-FgO_s"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DtsGE-FgO_s" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Mike, Stone and Shawn Smith (Brad) perform 'Little Wing' with The Iconics<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ua_veWawEN0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ua_veWawEN0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Mike and Stone perform the NorthWest classic 'Louie Louie' with The Iconics<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5xJUgn1vmTk"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5xJUgn1vmTk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Big Wave Riderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02374570852230938494noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704787325409727044.post-85279810691677604902007-08-25T07:42:00.000-07:002007-08-25T08:00:39.537-07:00Weekly News Round-Up<strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">- </span></strong>Ed will be playing a solo gig at the 'Body Of War' premiere on 9/11 at the Toronto International Film Festival!<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">-</span></strong> Shawn Smith reports that Brad will be playing 4 or 5 gigs in September, possibly as a Seattle residency, or as a minature tour of the North West!<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">- </span></strong>Ed was last night awarded the prestigious title of SIMA Environmentalist Of The Year at an awards ceremony in Dana Point, CA!<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">- </span></strong>10C's official pre-sale for 'Immagine In Cornice' has begun at <a href="http://www.tenclub.net/">www.tenclub.net</a>, whereby you can receive a t-shirt emblazoned with the DVD artwork when you purchase!<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">- </span></strong>However, such an event never passes without controversy, and this time 10C are pleased to inform us:<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">1)</span></strong> If you live in South America, you will have to order the DVD online, as there are no plans for an official release there in the near future.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">2)</span></strong> If you have ordered the DVD frm 10C and live in Europe, you could well be stuck with a useless disc, as all 10C DVDs are in NTSC format, not the Region 2 format which almost all European DVD players use.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">-</span></strong> On a more pleasant note, if you pre-order Ed's upcoming solo album, Into The Wild, from Itunes or Starbucks, your copy will include 4 bonus tracks: No More, Photographs, Here’s To The State Of George W.
