The final Pearl Jam album of the 90’s starts with a bang (pun intended?), and Randy Sobel (Live On 4 Legs - https://soundcloud.com/liveon4legs) joins us to break down the conspiracies of “Brain Of J,” pizza, and why everything is Stone’s fault…

Around The Bend (S4.Ep15)

Even though this song is the last one on the album, it is our penultimate of the season. It’s time to talk with Bradley Piasecki about “Around The Bend,” why you want to go to concerts with him, and I say “y’know” entirely way too much…
