COMPACT DISC-USSION: “Globalized aversion to a pelican.” (1993)  It was a long walk from Tower Records before two college Freshman got to hear Pearl Jam’s Sophomore effort.  And when they did, it altered the cerebral landscape of their pre-20-something minds.  Clearly  Bob and Tim can rekindle those  same feelings in their 40s as they re-spin  that compact disc ... VS.
00:00:00 - PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - a good line to use
00:00:32 - THE CD IS … VS.- and here is how they got it / “Plush”
00:07:31 - “GO” - Vedder vocals and maybe there are lyrics?
00:12:09 - “ANIMAL” - soundtracking Tim’s freak-out
00:15:17 - “DAUGHTER” - this indie song is not changing the world
00:20:58 - “GLORIFIED G” - titles are hard
00:25:57-  “DISSIDENT” - can’t forget lyrics if you can’t understand them
00:29:00 - “W.M.A.” - etherial, experimental and with a self-important title
00:33:33 - “BLOOD” - meh  … and talking about another song
00:35:59 - “REARVIEWMIRROR” - those clever 20 Somethings and their fantastic driving machines
00:41:25 - “RATS” - It’s a soul patch Charlie brown
00:44:28 - “ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND A COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN” - a changing meaning to a meaningful lyric
00:51:54 - “LEASH” - bastards of young … -er
00:55:45 - “INDIFFERENCE” - anti everything … even climactic
00:58:50 -  CLOSINGS - Contacts, plugs and no catchphrase / “Plush”
