When Pearl Jam began working on their sixth album, ‘Binaural,’ in 1999, they went in with a different set of priorities. For starters, they weren’t using producer Brendan O’Brien, who helped shape every Pearl Jam album since their second, 1993’s ‘Vs.’ Instead, they recruited Tchad Blake, best known for the textured soundscapes he applied to records by Los Lobos and Tom Waits, to co-produce with them. And because of Blake’s experimental approach to record making, the band itself adapted a more probing tone on ‘Binaural.’
You probably know that members of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden got together as Temple of the Dog to make a tribute album to one of their Seattle friends. But did you know that Kurt Cobain really, really hated everything Pearl Jam stood for? It's one o

Pearl Jam are making progress on their new album, and it will feature a contribution from Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger. How do we know his?
