Pearl Jam, “Mind Your Manners”: The Singles Bar Review

by Popblerd Staff on Jul 11, 2013 • No Comments

Pearl Jam’s countdown clock has struck 00:00:00 again! On the heels of a North American tour announcement comes word of a brand new album entitled Lightning Bolt, on October 15th, and a brand spankin’ new dose of music in the form of first single “Mind Your Manners”.

rock music / The Viewfinder / Videos

Listen…I’m going to be excited for the new NIN album and tour simply because it’s Trent and I think he’s a visionary. This video comes from a highly touted director in David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Lost Highway). It’s, admittedly by the warning that precedes it, an epileptic’s worst nightmare. What to expect? A picture of girl, transposed beneath a spider rotating back and forth, a head’s on view of a shark with human teeth, a creepy play-dough face, and Trent’s […]

bLISTerd / Lists! / TV

Well, we’re almost there. Hope you’ve been enjoying our list so far. The penultimate installment of our greatest sitcoms poll kicks off with one of television’s most enduring classics. But before we go there, let’s backtrack: Part 8 | Part 7 | Part 6 | Part 5 | Part 4 | Part 3 | Part 2 | Part 1 20. The Honeymooners (CBS, 1951-1955) Part of what makes The Honeymooners such a classic is that it’s a show that would never air today.
