Bob Lefsetz // Pearl Jam/Target
From Bob Lefsetz – Lefsetz Letter, June 1st
Who gives a shit? This is news?
Pearl Jam was the leading act of the nineties.
Radiohead paves the way in the twenty first century.
Furthermore, Pearl Jam’s very first album was its very best. And only hard core fans care about what the Seattle rockers are releasing today.
They’re gonna get a big check from Target. Even though Best Buy and Wal-Mart are better partners and would sell more product. Target will do a ton of advertising. But despite the carpet-bombing hype, the album still won’t sell much. More than the band’s recent opuses, but not much more. Because, like I said, their music is WAY past its peak.
As for the fans crying sell-out… Boofuckinghoo. Recorded music is essentially a giveaway. So the band is trying to monetize its efforts. And has a big enough name that a big corporation, ignorant as to the band’s limited reach, will pony up some bucks. Their kids need new shoes just like yours.
But wouldn’t it have been better if the band did something innovative?
Maybe JUST released the hundred dollar box, for fans? That’s right, the hard core gets the CD, the vinyl, the MP3s and a signed book. Hell, make it $70 unsigned, $150 signed. The key is to get more from the hard core.
Pearl Jam will probably do this. But Trent Reznor did it first. Trent’s got the best marketing ideas. If only his music was a bit more mainstream.
So, we’ve got no more heroes. It’s sad, I agree.
