Seattle grunge stalwarts Pearl Jam have just announced a Spring tour in continued support of their chart-topping (and SPIN-praised) album Backspacer.

Pearl Jam is set to play Saturday Night Live on March 13, playing songs from their recent No. 1 record, 2009's Backspacer.

SPIN cover stars Pearl Jam scored big in SPIN.com's 2009 Readers Poll, taking top honors in four of the poll's 11 categories, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year, while Lady Gaga won for Best New Artist and Video of the Year ("Bad Romance").

Eddie Vedder is a liar.

At the start of Pearl Jam's four-night stand at the Philadelphia Spectrum -- the last concerts ever at the historic arena, which is destined for demolition -- the singer pledged to the audience, "By Saturday night we're gonna try to play every song we know."

This week, Vampire Weekend leaked the first single from their upcoming album, while Death Cab chased vampires in their new song from Twilight sequel New Moon. Plus, Chris Cornell joined Pearl Jam onstage, Pavement announced a new show, Austin City Limits rolled into Texas, and much more.

It was a grunge rock class reunion Tuesday night in Los Angeles!
