Eddie Vedder: Into The Wild (Music For The Motion Picture)
Last Friday (October 26), I received the package from Ten Club. It contain a shirt and the album.
Now, for the review. This is the first solo album of Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. The sound is far from regular Pearl Jam staple; the absence of 'grunge/dirt'. A folk-sy and soulful ride that fit accordingly to the fateful adventure of Christopher McCandless. Eddie Vedder used classic steel guitar, mandolin, banjo and other strings I can't decipher. My personal favorite is Society ".. I hope you're not lonely without me".
All tracks were written by Eddie Vedder, except where noted:
1. "Setting Forth" – 1:37
2. "No Ceiling" – 1:34
3. "Far Behind" – 2:15
4. "Rise" – 2:36
5. "Long Nights" – 2:31
6. "Tuolumne" – 1:00
7. "Hard Sun" (Indio) – 5:22
8. "Society" (Jerry Hannan) – 3:56
9. "The Wolf" – 1:32
10. "End of the Road" – 3:19
11. "Guaranteed" – 7:22
Oh, why did I post this? (Apart from being a fan). This is my first international 'on-line' transaction!

PLDT WeRoam
On the road at North Luzon Expressway. No disconnection from Valenzuela to San Fernando exits. Speed is relatively fast even on the road. Monitoring off-shore servers are still hitch free. Tunnel connections haven't been disconnected.
Update1: The connection was cut when we entered San Fernando City. And I turned my laptop off due to battery reasons.
Update2: Connection is good inside Subic Free Port.
Oh, and the supplied software doesn't work on Vista [not that I care :) ]
