When Pearl Jam 20 came out in September, I was disappointed, crushed even, there wasn't a vinyl release. It was totally unlike the band not to have a vinyl version of a new album. Pearl Jam has always been good about releasing their material on LP and creating fantastic packages.
Finally, it looks like my wishes are being granted, and we will see PJ20 on beautiful vinyl.
Amazon has begun taking pre-orders for the three-LP package, which the Web site says will be released Dec. 13. Amazon's price is $54.89 as of today.
Pearl Jam's own Ten Club quickly sold out of copies.

Leonard Cohen Announces New Album
Leonard Cohen has announced that his much-anticipated album Old Ideas will hit the streets Jan. 31, 2012.
It's the master's first studio album in about seven years.
Consisting of 10 new songs, Old Ideas poetically addresses some of the most profound questions of human existence -- spirituality, love, sexuality, loss and death, according to the announcement.
The album is on Cohen's long-time label, Columbia. It will be released on 180-gram vinyl. There's also a collector's package that includes the vinyl plus a lithograph limited to 5,500. The price is $63.99.
Here's the tracklist:
Going Home
Amen
Show Me The Place
The Darkness
Anyhow
Crazy To Love You
Come Healing
Banjo
Lullaby
Different Sides

Black Friday Preview
I hope everyone is ready for Black Friday. It's a great day to get to your indie record store and pick up some special releases.
Here's a list from the good folks at Record Store Day.
I have my eye on the Ryan Adams, Black Keys, and Craig Finn singles.
Kate Bush's new album, 50 Words For Snow, was supposed to come out around the beginning of the week, but her Web site reports that there were some short delays. Hopefully, it will be out to pick up on Black Friday.

Old Song of the Year
Twenty years after Bonnie Raitt recorded “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” the song is proving its timelessness.
The song has been out in force this year, with Bon Iver releasing it as the B-side of the “Calgary” single. Adele covered the song at the iTunes Festival London 2011, and it's available on iTunes. And, jazz artist Jacqui Naylor includes the number on her latest album, Lucky Girl. All are very good versions.
Written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin, the song is still a killer. I think it's the line, "Turn down these voices inside me head."
