Anyone care to share highlights? Things you didn't know?
To be honest, I don't think I learned anything I didn't already know from absorbing all the interviews, articles, demo versions and official releases that have come out over the past 15 years, but it was still a good listen.
"Somewhere in between / There and here / I got lost / I got scared..."
Thanks for making this available, but I was quite disappointed. There really was very little new insight into the songs. There was absolutely no commentary on "Insignificance" except for the note from the Rob that it was "one of two" politically charged songs on "Binaural." First, this is not much of an observation and, second, there are more than two politically charged songs on the record: "Grievance," "Rival"-- even "Soon Forget" has political overtones. Similarly, "Light Years" was described as one of Pearl Jam's first songs about loss. Really? What were "Release" (lost parent), "Black" (lost love) and even "Alive" (lost parent) about, just to name three songs from one album off the top of my head?

Rob did a great job and cant force someone from the band to say more infos than the ones he want to share or even know..and its 15 years back..they dont remember all
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

I wasn't suggesting they should be forced to say anything. The point is that what they did say added very little to what we already know about the making of this record, and the descriptions from the host were unenlightening. I tuned in expecting fresh insight from this "in-depth" special (Rob's words). It didn't deliver that. Did you notice that this "in-depth" special, which refers more than once to the binaural recording technique favored by Tchad Blake that gave the record its name, doesn't even attempt to explain or describe how that recording technique actually works? Again, this "in-depth" special offered nothing whatsoever from the band about "Insignificance," one of the most-performed tracks from the album.

Maybe next time, like in a year for the 20th anniversary of no code, if they do this again, they can ask the fans if they have any questions to ask. I feel like I had a bunch of stuff I would have liked to have known about binaural and it never really went there.

Awesome! Free WeTransfer links are only up for a few day's while Mega links can last forever, which is cool. But some folks have had problems downloading with Mega on their smartphones & desktop browsers. I usually use WeTransfer for quick & easy .. upload & download connections.
Anyone care to put it back up on Mega link so I can check it out?
