	STBC is about the bands love for vinyl, the scratchy imprefect sound that only comes from vinyl.

	No doubt about vinyl albums, or music in general. In my twisted mind it is about how music can make you feel high just by listening to it. That is why so many confuses it with a needle inserted into a vein. In other words, a rush of blood to the head without drugs. Well... the only drug you need, the music itself.

	"he loves records so much that its like hes addicted to them." - I really am terribly addicted to music, but I only have one record, mainly because my record player is a piece of crap.

	This is an excellent tribute to the vinyl album, and about the good times and escape that can be had just by listening to music. It talks about how his records are always there for him, even when the rest of the world isn't.

	They also have a Save You video, and a World Wide Suicide and Life Wasted one, Cam-Win. Anyways, this is a very heavy and fast-paced song. Eddie Vedder screams his frickin lungs out here. The lyrics are pretty obvious, it's about spinning a black circle, which is a vinyl, if you didn't know. The video is pointless, just a record spinning, but it shows how Pearl Jam were shying away from the spotlight, and it definetly shows the meaning of the song, which I guess is the point of a music video anyway. While PJ might have slipped away from the mainstream, I don't think they ever missed a beat.

	ya, if i saw the same video he is talking about, then it is just vinyl spinning... type it into google or something, i dont remember where i saw it

	it is about vinyl... the video was a record spinning

	Spin is an interesting one, because when you first hear it you think it may be about drugs because of the first line"See this needle...a see my hand... Drop, drop, dropping it down...oh, so gently... ". But once you find out its about vinyl it all makes much more sense.

	the whole blurring the meaning between frugs / loving music can be cleared up by the fact that one of eds most famous quotes he throws around in interviews is "MUSIC IS MY HEROIN".....also i saw a video of Ryu from Street Fighter with this playing and its BRILLIANT! look it up on youtube
