Pearl Jam on Cold Case

I was watching TV yesterday morning and saw a promo for last night's episode of 'Cold Case'. The promo made it very clear that Pearl Jam would be featured in the episode. I hadn't seen the show before, so I was curious to see how exactly they'd fit the band's music into the episode. Pearl Jam is also notorious for having a decidedly anti-corporate agenda, refusing to use Ticketmaster in the mid-90s and largely eschewing the spotlight in favor of keeping their music more insular and personal. For them to agree to be featured on a primetime CBS show must've took them really believing in the show. I caught the episode and was surprised to find Pearl Jam songs featured across the board, and mostly from my favorite album of theirs 'Ten'. And they meshed well with the show's themes of adolescence and social service. Turns out last night's episode was just part one of the season finale and part two next week will feature even more tracks. It looks like CBS is really pushing the re-release of 'Ten' as well.
