• Eddie Vedder wants you to Save Trestles

  Yesterday the Surfrider Foundation announced that Pearl Jam, a Seattle-based foursome who perform something called "grunge" music, will donate $1 from every ticket sold for their upcoming L.A. shows to the Save Trestles campaign.

After reuniting for a few one-off shows around Seattle in 2006, all original members reformed for a tour this month, which comes to the Glass House in Pomona tonight. Show's at 8, tickets are $20.

• "Ten" is still "Alive"

  Holy shit! Last night I saw a commerical for the deluxe edition of Pearl Jam's debut Ten. I've been on this Earth for a mere 29 years, but suddenly I feel very, very, very old. This re-issue includes a remastered version of the record and a remix done by long-time PJ producer Brendan O'Brien, six bonus tracks and a DVD of the group's 1992 performance on "MTV Unplugged." By the time Ten came out in 1991, I was by no means a music novice. My tape collection (yes kids, there were these things call

• Check Your Head re-issue out now

  The Beastie Boys' 1992 classic Check Your Head has now been given the re-issue/re-master treatment. Not sure why, as this disc sounded pretty good the last time I listened to it last week, but what do I know?   The new version comes with a total of 36 tracks (the 20-song original album and 16 B-sides and rarities and is available as very modern high-quality DRM downloads and the very old school four LP ultra-deluxe 180HQ vinyl. The latter comes in something described as a cof

Unfortunately, you can add tomorrow as just another one of those days when that dream bill won't come to fruition.But what do you do when you can't see the real deal? Tribute bands. Yes, that's right, a bunch of groups with names that have something to do with the artists they cover are playing a free show in L

• Surfrider Foundation to Honor Pearl Jam, Incubus and...David Chokachi?

  ​"Forever and always, I'm always here!" Oh, sorry, didn't see you there.Today the San Clemente-based Surfrider Foundation announced the recipients of their "Keeper of the Coast Awards," and it's a fairly eclectic bunch: Pearl Jam, Incubus, and David Chokachi. Yeah, David Chokachi, the buff blond dude from Baywatch in the picture up there. Seems odd, right? Two really famous bands, and a TV actor that most people haven't thought about in a decade.

• Ranking Owl City Among Rock's Most Egregious Ripoffs

  Pamela Littky​There are many reasons to dislike Owl City, the electro tweepop project spearheaded by Owatonna, Minnesota 23-year-old Adam Young. For one thing the moniker is horrible. You can name yourself after a town or a continent - say, Boston or Chicago or Europe - but you can't name yourself after a city with the word "City" in the title. That's why there are no bands named "New York City" or "Oklahoma City." The fact that it's a pretend city makes it worse.
