Matthew Solarski reports:
Footwear-hater Jim James and his trusty troop of folk-jammers will try to get the better of Eddie Vedder this spring, as it was recently announced that My Morning Jacket will open for Pearl Jam on the first leg of their arena-hopping tour.
The primitive alternative radio gods will get back to their roots or something when they release LP8, a self-titled affair, on May 2. MMJ, meanwhile, will still be hawking copies of last year's much-loved Z at the merch table.
This stadium-sized Pearl-jaunt is book-ended by a quartet of farm-sized festival appearances--so fans hoping for some intimate MMJ contact this season should just see Band of Horses instead.
Dude, 1993 just called. It wants its hair back:
I don't think Jim hates footwear anymore...get with the times PFM.
"try to get the better of..."? WTF is he on about anyway?
