b-sides by gremmie.net

one of the most exciting things about being a Pearl Jam fan is impatiently awaiting the release of b-sides following a new album. the term "b-side" is derived literally from "side b" of a vinyl single. when vinyl singles were common, "side a" ordinarily contained the hit, "side b" the alternative track.

but a b-side, as seen by the likes of goof & gremmie includes any studio produced track that has been made available to fans, yet has become difficult to procure due to both time elapsed since being issued and the tracks' elusiveness on singles, soundtracks, or compilations.

for more information on each song, goto theskyiscrape.com. they have a well-researched wiki on Pearl Jam's entire catalogue.

goof & gremmie recommend "poor girl", "felicity's surprise", and "man of the hour [demo]" in particular.

"oh when i was a kid/ oh how magic it seemed/ oh please let me sleep it's christmas time."

since the inception of the fanclub in 1991, Pearl Jam has sent a vinyl-only christmas single annually to members of the tenclub. ironically, the single often appeared in members' mailboxes closer to easter than the intended christmas leading to the phrase "holiday single".

though the band's individual religious bends are unclear, what is clear is that they hold in their hearts a special fondness for christmas and their fans.

goof & gremmie recommend "someday at christmas", "sonic reducer", and "let me sleep".

in november 2003 pearl jam released lost dogs, a compilation of b-sides. some of which gremmies already had, some we never knew existed. what gremmie.net seeks to achieve, lost dogs pinned down with two discs. two sexy discs.

some previously released material, like "driftin'" and "alone", have been re-recorded with a cleaner sound (see also: ten remix) and are worth a second go-round.

"hold on", "education", and "sad" are recommended by goof and gremmie.
