Last night on Conan's first episode as host of The Tonight Show, Pearl Jam debuted another brand new song from their upcoming 9th studio album, "Backspacer". Earlier this week, internet buzz lashed out against PJ for hooking up with Target as a Corporate sponsor for the new album's release this fall, following a secret commercial/ Cameron Crowe video shoot at The Showbox, where the band played Something's Going On, for the first time in front of a live audience of "extras".

Personally, this week's events have made me even more excited about the release of Backspacer, and the upcoming tour dates to support it! I don't heart corporate sponsorship, but at least I am already a loyal Target Shopper. It could be worse. Hey, we're getting a new album! Can I really complain about that?

Eddie's got some, and oh boy, do I need it! :)
