Eddie Vedder to Mitt Romney: I’m Part of the 47 Percent
Eddie Vedder spoke about class today. At a fundraiser for President Barack Obama in Tampa, Florida, the Pearl Jam frontman took Republican candidate Mitt Romney to task for the toxic remarks he made about the “47 percent” of citizens who don’t pay income taxes, saying they are “entitled” and “dependent upon government” and don’t “take personal responsibility and care for their lives…

Hear Eddie Vedder’s Honeyed Charity Track ‘Skipping’
For his contribution to the Every Mother Counts 2012, a charity compilation for the maternal health advocacy campaign of the same name, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder penned “Skipping,” a honeyed acoustic ballad that shares both a tone and melodic temperament with previous non-album material like early fan club single “Let Me Sleep (It’s Christmas Time)” and 2003′s “Man of the Hour…

Bowie, Patti Smith, Vedder Give It Up for Moms on New Charity Compilation
Every Mother Counts, an advocacy and awareness campaign headed by model-turned-activist Christy Turlington Burns to increase education and support for maternal and child health, is slated to release its second charity compilation album May 1, and as Antiquiet points out, its track list is not to be messed with. Thirteen of the 19 songs are unreleased tunes from artists like Patti Smith, Coldplay, Eddie Vedder, Cedella Marley, and Beck. The ones that have already been heard are just as good, though, with contributions from David Bowie, Sade and Lauryn Hill. It’s going to be released via Starbucks, to make picking up your socially conscious adult contemporary mixtape as easy as stepping out for your daily grande triple-shot, extra hot, no-foam latte.
The first Every Mother Counts compilation featured tracks from mothers only (including Ani DiFranco, Madonna, Rosanne Cash, Dixie Chicks, Carla Bruni, and, um, Gwyneth Paltrow), so this one is branching out significantly with gentlemen paying their dues to the people who brought them into this world. Did we mention it’s International Women’s Day? And that March is National Women’s History Month?

Return of the Uke: Eddie Vedder Adds Solo Dates
Eddie Vedder invites you to tiptoe through the tulips with him. After focusing on his main band last year with a 20th anniversary bash, a Cameron Crowe documentary, and a new song, the Pearl Jam frontman will be heading back out on his own again in support of Grammy-nominated 2011 full-length Ukulele Songs.
A 13-city spring solo tour will take Vedder through theaters from Las Vegas, on April 11, to Orlando, Florida, on May 16, plus a stop at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 3. Joining him once again will be Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, of folk-rock duo the Swell Season and rootsy rockers the Frames. (Hansard has also been known to perform on occasion with Brooklyn-via-Idaho folkie and Stephen King-approved novelist Josh Ritter, whose So Runs the World Away you might also love.)
Tickets for the New Orleans Jazz Fest are on sale now. All other tickets for Vedder’s upcoming tour will go on sale on February 3, though eligible members of Pearl Jam’s Ten Club could buy them through a presale starting yesterday.

Pearl Jam Release Cameron Crowe’s Grainy ‘Not for You’ Video
Earlier this fall, famed film director/music journalist/grunge nerd Cameron Crowe premiered Pearl Jam 20, his feature-length documentary that both fawns over and follows the Seattle rock icons through their 20 years as a band. After a short engagement in select theaters and a nationally televised premiere last week on PBS, Crowe is now sharing a complimentary music video for “Not for You,” a bristling standout from 1994′s Vitalogy. Culled mostly from grainy archival footage from Peej’s homegrown, anti-Ticketmaster tour of the mid-’90s, it’s a fan-tailored snapshot of the band just as they began really accelerating away from the mainstream crush that made frontman Eddie Vedder so uncomfortable. Check it out at IMDB.com.
