Fired Up, Ready To Go

Matt Cameron and other artists recently assembled at the Columbia City Theater in Seattle to join in helping record and document the recording of a song entitled "Fired Up, Ready To Go" written to support the Barack Obama 2008 Presidential Campaign.

Not For You

Eddie has been shunned by the Oscars for Into The Wild, as apparently the music featured too predominantly, or something stupid like that.

Still, if I were Ed, I wouldn't be too pissed, Eddie Murphy's racist, obnoxious, and downright retarded film Norbit was nominated, which I would say speaks volumes about the Awards.

Ed Video To Debut 7th January, Matt Plays Flood Benefit

From TenClub:

Singer/songwriter Eddie Vedder appears for the first time as a solo artist in a music video for the Critics Choice, Golden Globe and Grammy-nominated song "Guaranteed" from the Sean Penn-directed motion picture Into the Wild.

The video, directed by critically-acclaimed writer/director Marc Rocco (Murder in the First and Where the Day Takes You) premieres January 7th at 6:00 a.m. EST on VH1 and VH1.com.

Video repeats will air throughout the morning hours and online leading up to VH1's live telecast of the 13th Annual Critics Choice Awards at 9:00 p.m. EST.

Feature film writer/director Marc Rocco conceived, directed and produced the video for "Guaranteed" in just a few days - and shot the project entirely on 35 mm film in three hours - as a way for the typically video-shy Vedder to pay tribute to Sean Penn's film and Chris McCandless's journey. The video uses a series of floating, illuminated images from Into the Wild to capture Vedder's intimate and poetic performance, weaving striking silhouettes of Vedder with translit still frames from the film in a powerful and simple way.

"To me, Eddie is the most compelling musical artist of our generation," explains Rocco. "His songwriting pounds you on a visceral level and his storytelling always stands apart in the same way a great film does - each time you hear his words, they engender a different experience in your heart, soul and mind."

"It has been a privilege and honor to collaborate with Eddie in a medium that he so rarely visits. I hope that I've portrayed visually the song 'Guaranteed' in a way that leaves the viewer as emotionally moved as I was the first time I heard Eddie's music for Into the Wild."
