I have heard he's latvian emigrant...and his full name is Arturs Karotnieks. 'Spoon' in latvian is 'karote' so he become spoonman. If you've worked with him maybe you know is that true or not? It's interesting for me because i'm latvian too. btw, is anybody else on this list from this small dirty country? well, it's nice to be there. i love soundgarden Zaiga ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 1995 21:13:29 +1000 (EST) From: "BRADLEY W.

Offspring are one of my fave bands at the moment (as well as SG and Silverchair...). I haven't got SMASH yet... it's one of the purchases on my current wish list though. Come Out and Play and Self Esteem are both excellent tracks. I've heard one or two other Offspring singles on RAGE (for you Aussies out there...) but I can't remember the names. Self Esteem is very popular at the nightclubs here, even those that usually play techno or dance. RE: Chain Letter Freak... Yeah, those chain letters are annoying. One of my friends is nearly at the point of mail-bombing the persons account.

What the photos were for I don't know, but at this stage it very well could be a shoot for the pics that may go in the new album... or I could hope it is. Anyways... hope to hear some good stuff in the future. cya nd. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 1995 15:05:58 -0400 From: ansel@morgan.com To: somms@MIT.EDU Subject: Upcoming Tour F.Y.I. Soundgarden's 12 date mini tour of the annual European festivals begins this Wednesday, August 23 in Ireland and continues through Holland, Belgium, England, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and ends in Italy on September 9. There will be no U.S. dates, as they plan to return home to finish their album. (I assume SG will be introducing/testing some new material at these shows -- keep an eye out for video/audio bootlegs in the coming months.) I will be at the Reading Festival in England this Sunday and will post the details when I return to New York.

Doesn't mean I agree with what you say, but that doesn't matter. I mean, who really gives a shit? As long as we all like Soundgarden, hey? That's the reason we're on this list. Maybe I'm not fussy enough about the music I listen to, because I like heaps of different bands. Including Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Silverchair. Like you wrote about there being no prerequisite that says to like Soundgarden you must like Pearl Jam - there's also none that says to like Soundgarden you must NOT like PJ, Nirvana, Silverchair. I agree with you about Silverchair sounding a lot like those other bands. However, remember they are just kids who of course are going to be influenced by other bands, more so than older people. (btw, do you know they didn't ever really even LIKE Nirvana?). I reckon they just started out with jamming together, never really thinking their music would ever even go on sale, let alone become known world-wide. There's only so many musical variations possible. So of course some bands are going to be "rehashing" styles of music from the past in some way, even if only subconsciously. There's a lot of punk bands out there that sound like The Clash, for example. Like Bad Religion, RKL, even Green Day sometimes. Does it really matter? I like them all, and I reckon there's room in this world for them all. Yes, room even for Silverchair!

Silverchair i'm not so sure about, but You am I are pretty cool. Their earliest stuff is better than the stuff they recently released though. I think in the clip to "My Wave" Matt is wearing their tour t-shirt. Silverchair got their name by combining the title of a You Am I song (Berlin Chair), with a Nirvana song that must have Silver in it somewhere > Bands that are starting to suck: > Pearl Jam: Don't call them good, not ment to. (Except for "Ten") I agree they are really going down hill. They seem to be more interested in being musical politicians than writing good music anymore. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 1 Issue 22] ***************************************
