Hi Jessi and Kate, I immediately listened to last week's episode on Mankind...I mean, Dead Man when it dropped.  Your guys early discussion that tangentially went into Mankind brought me back to No Code. One of the things I find interesting about you both is that you seem to appreciate No Code pretty early on in your fandom.  This is a record that I really had to grow into.  Early on, I only enjoyed Hail, Hail and Off He Goes, but as I got older, the more I started to enjoy more of the tracks on this album.  I've always coveted the album artwork and the Polaroids they added into the booklet with song lyrics printed on the backs of them.  This record for me has been a puzzle that I have continued to solve more and more of as I get older.  To me it was the most interesting, yet polarizing time for the band.  They put out a record in Vitalogy, constantly telling the public how they have not given into the lifestyle that is 'The Biggest Band in the Wo

Hi Jessi and Kate, I'd first like to acknowledge a comment made by Jessi, that I literally have thought in my head for several years and never muttered the words.  If Tim Burton were to produce a Pearl Jam album, it would have been Riot Act.

Hi Jessi and Kate, Thank you for the kind words on your last episode.  It meant a lot to me to hear you feel my opinions are in-depth, however I don't know if I can find a whole lot of depth to Yellow Ledbetter! The "mystique" around the lyrics to this song lend it to be best reserved for the end of a set-list at one of their shows or even better closing down a bar at 2am and letting whatever lyrics you slur out at the top of your lungs.  I'm pretty sure, I've sung along with friends several times at house parties in college, later into the night, and all of us weren't singing the exact same words. I took the liberty to looking up the lyrics from a few sources, those being Google, Genius Lyrics, AZLyrics and SongMeanings.  All of them list the same words.  Then I decided to write out the interpretations from Misheard Lyrics and I have them listed below with some of my favorite lines highlighted.  I think my favorite part was &q
