Something to entertain you while I’m buried under deadlines for a few more days. The Gaslight Anthem was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, and played “Boxer” from the new album, “American Slang.” Great album, but you knew I was going to say that anyway. As a web-only bonus for the show, Gaslight covered Pearl Jam’s “State of Love and Trust.” Check it out.
This might only be of interest to me, but Jimmy Fallon and my wife went to the same high school a few years apart.
Cheers,

I saw this the CD in the store and picked it up because I have heard you mention it repeatedly. I thought, “ok, for $9 I’ll give it a whirl”. I’ll say the guys are good. “Boxer” was my fave on first listen.
Damn good cover. I love Pearl Jam / Eddie Vedder, esp. the older stuff and Into The Wild.

It doesn’t beat the original but it’s great to hear love for a tune from The Greatest Movie Soundtrack of All Time.
