Pearl Jam's unreleased song Better Days has been leaked online, and apparently it's all because of a mysterious man named Pete who posted it online on behalf of the group's manager, Kelly Curtis.

"Gary, [manager] Kelly [Curtis] wanted you to hear this, please give it a listen," wrote Pete on the Monkey Wrench Records site - and minutes later the post was taken down.

But you can hear the track on the Antiquiet site. Reportedly, the song was from the band's 2002 Riot Act sessions, and it makes for a fascinating listen. Featuring some of Eddie Vedder's most forceful and emotive singing, hand percussion, according and mandolin, it's a hands-down winner. Surprising it was never properly released.

Welsh rock wizards Stereophonics have paid tribute to their former drummer Stuart Cable.

A founder member of Stereophonics, Stuart Cable played on their initial burst of albums. However relations in the band became strained, with the Welsh group finding their commercial star on the wane.

Cable and singer Kelly Jones fell out, leading to the drummer's departure. Going on to become a well respected figure in Welsh broadcasting, Stuart Cable sadly passed away early yesterday morning (June 8th).

However in an interview with BBC Wales Kelly Jones revealed that the pair patched up their friendship soon after the split. In a meeting one year after Cable left the band, the pair went down the pub to catch up.

Since then, they had remained friends with Kelly Jones explaining that he last saw Stuart Cable only a week ago. The singer paid tribute to the drummer, who he claimed was a good friend and wonderful musician.

Elsewhere, Welsh singer Cerys Matthews issued a statement saying she was "shocked and saddened" at the news of his death adding: "He was such generous company."
