There's something about Pilate after Wishlist, I don't know why. I much prefer Wishlist, but there's something chilling about the start of Pilate when you're listening to the album. I guess the versus are more emotional than the chorus's, which helps. It's the same with the start of NAIS after Light Years. Long live the album.

I love those little filler songs simply because they piss off the Jamtards.
Red Dot is one of the best things the "band" (jack, really) has ever done.
This is a far dumber PJ opinion than anything stip or mjd has ever said
(I should have said "my favorite" rather than "the best")
It's got a real K Records vibe. It reminds me of The Microphones, Karl Blau, Mirah, all this oddball Olympia, WA indie stuff. It also sounds like Max Roach, Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, Captain Beefheart, Neu!, and all sorts of Aussie stuff. I hear a billion influences in its short run time. It's, fun, playful, silly, sad, and unique...
I don't really view it as a "Pearl Jam" song. I've put it on playlists of all sorts of similar wierdo instrumental/drum-based stuff, and it always fits.
Something about it resonates with me very deeply. I don't expect it to have the same impact on others, because it fits me aural fancy just perfectly.

Tom Waits loves Red Dot

MELODY MAKER: Have you been keeping up with what's new?
WAITS: As a father, you don't have much of a choice. It's interesting how you used to seek out music in used record bins, now music just finds you. Seeks you out. And you may fight it kicking and screaming but it always ends up taking over your house and robbing you of precious hours of sleep.
MELODY MAKER: I take it you're not happy with the current scene?
WAITS: There's all sorts of very talented, very clean people making music right now, and getting paid a lot for it. Actually what I've been interested in the most in the last few years has been hip hop music. You know, these are the folk and protest singers of this age. My son-- he's exactly at the right age now to be into rock and roll music, but not Bill Hayley and the Comets. He listens to music that seems to be designed to make parents angry or concerned.
MELODY MAKER: Are you concerned?
WAITS: I'm concerned for all these angry young men. They're going to get an ulcer or something. But, honestly, I love Pearl Jam-- you know them, right? Who doesn't? I bet you could do a census in Timbuktu and you'll find at least a thousand people who own Pearl Jam records.
MELODY MAKER: They're back with a vengeance.
WAITS: Where are they back from?
MELODY MAKER: Their last album didn't do very well.
WAITS: Well, people make all sorts of assumptions. They're always in a hurry to say you're back. People keep asking me where I've been the past six years. Well, I was stuck in traffic school. They wouldn't let me graduate. Hand-eye coordination problems have haunted me since I was a child.
MELODY MAKER: So you like "Yield" (Pearl Jam's new album)?
WAITS: I do. I like the drummer. He reminds me of a demented Shelly Manne. The songs are good, too. There's a song in there that's just 40 seconds of steel drum and some strange chanting. Right up my alley. Sometimes you get the most propulsive and stimulating and invigorating music from these small outbursts of craziness. You know, I went to see an orchestra play Schubert, and I wanted to leave after they were done tuning up. It was going to be hard to top that.
