Pearl Jam fans already know Mr. Vedder's fascination with the Hawaiian hold steady instrument of the ukulele. But if you want a good background on just how he came across the instrument and how he urges everyone to get away from their televisions to pick up ukulele playing, then NPR has a fantastic interview available right now on their website. Vedder's new album is due out Tuesday if you want a whole plethorea of ukulele playing entitled simply "Ukulele Songs". If you liked "Soon Forget" from "Binaural" then this may be your cup of tea. In the meantime check out the link for the interview below and a clip via soundcloud of a song from the album. Also streaming at NPR is new albums from My Morning Jacket, Cults, and Death Cab For Cutie. I am getting soooo behind on new music.
