Pearl Jam to soundtrack the 2013 World Series

Good news: the 2013 World Series will feature Pearl Jam's music, and only Pearl Jam's music, according to Billboard. 

"A partnership with Fox Sports will include extensive use of 48 Pearl Jam songs across the promotional and music beds for this month's World Series coverage, set to air Oct. 23-31 on Fox, and feature the group's music throughout November as Artist of the Month across all Fox Sports properties.

"The deal includes all 12 tracks from Lightning Bolt, plus 36 songs from the Pearl Jam catalog, spanning all the band's albums (with the exception of 2002's politically charged Riot Act). Catalog highlights include 'Animal,' 'Better Man,' 'Black,' 'Blood,' 'Corduroy,' 'Daughter,' 'Even Flow' and 'even goes as far as 'State of Love and Trust,'' says Christian Fresco, product manager for Pearl Jam's Monkeywrench label. Fox Sports Music VP Janine Kerr, an avid PJ fan, adds: 'They said, 'What songs would you want?' I said, 'How many can I have?' So we gave them a wish list and they said 'yes' to all.'"

Thank you, Pearl Jam. Thank you so much! 

Sometimes, late at night, I can still hear Enrique Iglesias' "Written in the Stars," which was all over the 2011 World Series. So this makes the news that we're about to be hit with Pearl Jam's tunes, well, the best news ever. 

Pearl Jam's songs will be featured in all types of music beds during the World Series, from opening teases and commercial bumpers to montages, as well as additional promotional inventory across Fox prime-time and cable networks in November.

The more Pearl Jam, the better.
