I was thinking that perhaps those with the ability to record AU, WAV (or any sound format), perhaps could record a short sample of rare tracks, UUencode it and share it with the others. Perhaps this could make distant and often forgotten fans like me closer to the real action of being a SG fan. Straight from Coyoacan...

I've seen Sponge twice in concert, and yes they kick ass. They never played my favorite Sponge song, though: "Neenah Menasha" I loved that song since it was released. And nobody else even recognizes it now. But i do. It's the perfect combination of power and melody, imho. Oh, but Sponge did do a cover of "Speed Racer". That was cool. > I garantee that ya'll will not be dissappointed . The aforementioned bands and > singers have excellent careers ahead of them Ok, i can see where most of those bands could have decent careers, but James? I bought one of their cd's for the song "laid" and other than that song, there is nothing on that cd that turns me on, even the slightest bit. But that's just my worthless opinion. -j ------------------------------ From: Chicka Jackeen Subject: Bands Well, um, since Askira gave a lsit of bands to check out, i'm gonna do the same thing. Here it goes: Slant 6 Shudder to Think Malfunkshun (With yo Heart not Your Hands is one of my all time favorite songs) Superchunk (I saw them in concert, they kick major ass) Zen Frisbee Knuckle Pavement Archers of Loaf Ok, i'm done, sorry about taking up mailbox space and not mentioning the boys. -j ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Jeff Buckley and friends From: jsimpson@mail03.mitre.org (Jamesetta Simpson) >In the spirit of innovation , I ask all of you who are on the list to answer a >question for me : > > If you had SG living next door to you , how would you react to their >music and their eccentricities if they were not a cool and suave band ? > Strange - what's that the problem my neighbors have living next door to me and I'm not even in a band, let alone cool and suave (is it correct for a lady to be suave)!

Can anyone name more than 10-15 who actually post messages. > I LOVE SOUNDGARDEN.. BUT EQUALLY AS MUCH I LOVE ALL MUSIC why shouldnt you love all kinds of music? Well the decline of 20th century american morals can be traced to the increase in popularity of country music and R&B. Just kidding. I bet some of you were waiting to hit the reply button..lighting the torch on your flamethrowers. Musical diversity should be welcomed with open arms. I hope some of you read the lead article in todays Music News of the World section in the online rag...Addicted to Noise.

MAYBE I WAS A > LITTLE SCARED. (OR A LOT) scared. Of what? words? phrases? clauses? "Conjunction, Junction what's your function?" (an injoke to the 20 something's out there). God, dont be scared of words. What's the worst that can happen? Someone says "NO"? Someone calls you an idiot? Someone threatens you with bodily harm? Get up...Brush yourself off...learn from the encounter and move on. Why go through life being an empty voice...express yourself in whatever way that says "this is me". > BUT NONETHELESS, I HAVE RUN ACROSS A QUESTION THAT ONLY YOU CAN GIVE A > SPEEDY RESPONSE TO.

Yeah but if the conference is like the CMJ conference in NYC...you'd better get to club early. There is only so much space once all the record company weasels are allowed in. > TRULY IS ONE OF THE BANDS THAT WILL BE PLAYING. I HAVE SEEN MESSAGES > ABOUT THEM AND I KNOW THAT HIRO IS IN THE BAND. WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WHAT > KIND OF MUSIC THEY PLAY, ARE THEY ANY GOOD, DO I PUT THEM ON MY SCHEDULE > THIS WEEKEND, ETC.? I have heard stories that when the band is "on" they are really good. I have also heard that when they're bad...well you get the picture. They sound sorta like: early SG, Pink Floyd (with Syd Barrett), Swervedriver, Catherine Wheel. Very spacy...and VERY TALENTED! They sound nothing like the present day SG. If you can get in...I suggest you go. If for nothing else...I bet you havent heard anything like them before....HEY you just might like them. steve "OK you made me scared, you did what you set out to do I'm not prepared, you had me going there for a minute or two He said, you made me scared too, I wasnt sure i was getting through I gotta go, it's been a pleasure doing business with you." - The Tragically Hip ------------------------------ From: fe666@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Charles Cortez) Subject: cd-rom ok, this is driving me up a wall, does ANYONE out there know where to get the special cd-rom that soundgarden released? i have been looking all over for it and can't find it... -Lara - -- >From the collective desks of: | 1994 Need For Speed- Charles Cortez Trent Michaels | Purple Haze biking Terri Wengel Nicole McFee | team Chris Iacofano | **-/TREK BIKES\-** ------------------------------ Subject: Re: cd-rom From: seth > ok, this is driving me up a wall, does ANYONE out there know > where to get the special cd-rom that soundgarden released? > i have been looking all over for it and can't find it... Soundgarden (as far as I know) has not released a special CD-ROM. If you purchase the full version of Windows 95, there is an SG clip on it. I've also been told that some SG music appears on Microsoft Encarta 95. Their forthcoming release will be in the new CDplus format (see old posts in the archive, or check out either my Web page or the official website), which could be considered a partial CD-ROM. seth ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 1 Issue 56] ***************************************
