33 years ago today, Pearl Jam's Vs. topped the Billboard 200 on the chart dated November 6, 1993.
Released in the US on October 19, the follow-up to Ten sold 950,378 copies in its first week. That broke the SoundScan record set in 1991 by Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion II, and Vs. outsold the rest of that week's Top 10 combined. The record stood for five years, until Garth Brooks' Double Live in 1998.
Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Mike McCready and Dave Abbruzzese made it with producer Brendan O'Brien, their first album together. After the huge success of "Jeremy," the band refused to make videos for any of the singles and cut way back on interviews, and the album flew anyway.
🎸 Vs. held No. 1 for five weeks, still the longest run for any Pearl Jam album. What's your favorite track on Vs.? 🎸

Had to call up an ancient (pre monetizing/influencer culture/clout is everything) YouTube vid to help fix my antique turntable. What a refreshing joy to watch, not some prick shouting and wanking about, just a cool, calm, competent fella showing me how to fettle it.

*remembering you have boxes of awesome first pressing vinyl (Sabbath/Zep/ACDC etc) from your youth* 😬
*Realising you gave said vinyl all the love and attention as to a ginger stepchild in your youth* 😕

We Gen X were often irresponsible and stupid, but we had more fun and life in one weekend than many nowadays experience in their entire youth, then again there wasn't a camera phone at the ready to catch you being an utter drunken cock

It was a loaded question though
'Would you like to get out of Whitehaven, even if it's just for a couple of days?'

'your Samsung Smart TV software has been updated
Improvements include constantly disconnecting from the WiFi, interfering with the router to make it lose connection and running streaming apps like you have a 56k modem
The next update may fix these, maybe not!!'
