I'm on my provisional drivers license here in Australia, which means NO ALCOHOL if I plan to drive - so, favourite non-alcoholic drink would go to Dry Ginger Ale, best alcoholic drink (watch your head when you drink this stuff) Benedictine - jeez these monks knew what they were doing when they made this! In case anyone cares, I only just got Louder Than Love on CD! Yes, I had heard it before on vinyl and cassette, but now I have a copy to truly call my own! COOOL! Just reminded me of what a great album it is! Whilst on the discussion of deep and meaningful lyrics, would anyone care to analyse Big Dumb Sex? Me, being the shallow kinda lyrics' meanings finder that I am, would take it personally to be my response to seeing an incredibly gorgeous lady (eg. Carolyn the Magnifique Female), but hell, this is from the same guy who would take Blackhole Sun to be a meteorological thing :) Also, what sort of guitars do Kim Thayil and Chris Cornell play? I'd just be interested 'cos I'm buying a guitar for myself in the very near future, although not specifically to play SG - there's a huge world of music out there and I don't know how long I'd have to play before I could dream of play SG stuff! All comments welcome! Jackhammer. PS. Would anyone be interested in hearing SG doing a cover of the Pushbike Song?

They both favour Gibson SG's, and Chris sometimes uses a Les Paul. I saw them for the first time at Reading this year and I hate to say I was really disappointed. The songs did'nt have the power, the sound was crap and they just looked bored. Cool cover of the Doors " Waiting for the Sun " but not what i'd hoped for.

No amount of education (formal as in school not life) can teach a person to feel. An IQ is just an IQ, learning more facts will not help you use your emotions. Mr. Cornell is (I feel) a deeply sensitive man, with the intelligence to see beyond the obvious. Working in a highly profession environment, I find that the sheep skins is the all mighty god and having a sensitive side is definitely not a plus. It can make for a cold world to work in. Thank God we have people like Chris to help us touch the needs and wants of the human soul.

OK, I was just going to let this ride out it merry way, but I keep getting bad input from it. So ..... " I'M SORRY" Are we happy now? Look, I mention the name to get people moving - we were going down fast to useless junk and needed to be stirred up a bit. I did say all you other SG freaks, I can't help it if I don't know your name when you never post. We have been told that there are over 200 people on this list, so how come the same 10 or fewer post all the time. If my posting made you come out of the wood works - - - great - I love hearing comments from everyone. I think I can say with very little disagreement, that I am one of the few people on this list that won't flame. I try to encourage new people and smooth over some of the rather ugly flames. Am I trying to be a martyr - NO. The SG list is the first list that I have found, truly interesting and I have met some really great people here. I don't want to see it go away - at lease until I do. Once again I'm sorry if I offended any one on this list. I will sit in the corner now and not post back to the list for a few days - is this punishment enough?

I'll have to be carefull next time I listen to it or I might accidentally show my feminine side and start blubbing as I am a bit of an animal freak (no rood comments please). I'm quite happy, I think it has given me an idea or two for some songs which is perfectly timed really as I've just got my four track back along with my brothers drum machine. Thanks one and all (you've all inspired me in a way) Dan ------------------------------ From: sjohnsto@gssec.bt.co.uk (Stephen Johnston) Subject: Blind Dogs / Reading I've got a few questions here. First does anyone have a copy of the Basketball Diaries Soundtrack? I want to get it for the studio version of Blind Dogs but I don't know if the rest of it's any good. I mean, there's no way I'm gonna spend 15 quid for just 1 track! Is it worth buying for the rest of the tracks as well? When I heard Blind Dogs on the Self Pollution Radio broadcast the end of it kinda reminded me of Rusty Cage in a way. I dunno - just the way Chris finishes it off........... Next - I didn't manage to get to Reading this year. I REALLY wanted to go but didn't manage. Anyway the thing is that the place I usually get boots from seems to have gone down the pan (they don't answer phones, reply to letters etc) and I ain't got a clue how to get a hold of anything like this from anywhere else. If there's anyone out there who knows where I could get any or if anyone's got a recording of the Reading show I'd be sooooo happy if they could give me a copy (I'd send the tapes, postage etc.....) Apart from this I've got serious doubts about when (or if!) we're ever gonna see Alive In The Superunknown over here in the UK. I can't even get Tower Records to order Loudest Love for me even though it's on the card in their imports section! About Like Suicide - it all kinda makes sense now when you think of it being about a bird. I'd never have seen it before tho' - maybe I'm just a bit outta touch with my 'feminine side' like Dan said.... Then again, most guys are :) Sorry its a bit long, but, hey, its my first post. Steve ------------------------------ From: sean@ramoth.unl.edu (Sean McCarthy) Subject: favorite ale Hey All- Favorite drinks- I would probably have to say its a tie between Schell's Weitzen or The Great Divide's Wheat ale. Both have a full body and both brews have that great ability to make any beer after that(Old Style, Bush or Bud Light-poor beers) taste like water. ------------------------------ From: ansel@morgan.com Subject: CC's Education Vikki with Flame-thrower here. What does Chris Cornell's education have to do with his exceptional ability as a writer? The skills/tools of a writer include imagination and intelligence, access to books/magazines/etc., a dictionary, organizational skills and focus. All of this is attainable without schooling. What makes CC's writing so unique is his ability to sculpt a MOOD with words. This allows us to interpret and incorporate the versus into our own lives. That is talent and personality, not education. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Like Suicide Author: Chicka Jackeen at nylanr01 Date: 9/27/95 9:41 AM On Tue, 26 Sep 1995, ClownWithBazooka wrote: > > Damn, thats deep.

(something like that...forgive me for the misquote) anyway, i thought i'd share an experience to bolster the wisdom of mr. clown with that kooky bazooka. (can i be `grote with mortar launcher'?) i turned in a portolio of my work to my honors english professor last year, and just for the helluvit i had scribbled some cc genius on the title page..."I'm a searchlight soul, they say But I can't see it in the night I'm only faking When I get it right..." anyway, my professor circled it when he graded it, and commented "wow, this is great? is this yours?" i apparently forgot to attribute it, so i stopped in and told my professor who to credit for that lyrical loveliness. He took down a list of all soundgarden's albums with the promise to start a collection! is that cool or what???? anyway, thought you folks might like to know...later... ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

The next thing is that i walked into some music stores today, and i saw a lot of titles that interested me. Being a college boy, however, i don't have the money i used to, so i need to know if anyone has heard some of these things. Has anyone heard Dream Theater's new EP? They are very talented musicians, that i know, but do they take that any farther on their new release? And what about Sonic Youth's new album? Are there any songs where Thurston Moore keeps his human mouth shut and lets his magnificent playing do all the talking for the song? And what about Presidents Of The United States of America(POT USA), i know, thanks to steve, that Kim plays on one of their songs, but what do they sound like? One more ?, does anyone know the name of the song that goes "fingernails are pretty, fingernails are good..." and/or the name of the artist?

You know and I know....eventually Rolling Stone and every other magazine in existence will be having a best album countdown of the 90's. Since everyone who reads this....knows that the musical event of the 90's was the explosion of the Seattle music scene. What I propose: send me/post your top 5 or 10 Seattle rock albums from the 90's. There are only 2 rules...1. the album had to be released after Jan 1, 1990. and the album has to have a seattl-ite in it. Try to stick with the theme of most influential....just to get some cohesion. For Example: My 10 most influential album of the 1990's: 1. Nevermind - Nirvana (started it all...how can you not vote for this album) 2. Badmotorfinger - Soundgarden 3. 10 - Pearl Jam 4. 8-Way Santa - Tad 5. Superunknown - Soundgarden 6. Vs. - Pearl Jam 7. Piece of Cake - Mudhoney 8. Dirt - Alice in Chains 9. Fast Stories...from Kid Coma - Truly 10. Every good boy deserve fudge - Mudhoney Note: soundtracks or compilations dont count. Mother Love bone was released in 1989. Silverchair is not a seattle band. Dont mistake them for soundgarden, pearl jam or nirvana. ------------------------------ From: Carolyn Subject: poor Jamie Me again, folks!

Australia's good "youth network" radio station, Triple J, played a few songs from this album only yesterday. It's called Washing Machine. Some pretty cool songs on it, at first listen anyway. >One more ?, does anyone know the name of the song that goes >"fingernails are pretty, fingernails are good..." and/or the name of the artist? From Triple J again, I can answer this too. The Foo Fighters - yes, that band that seemed to cause a bit of debate on this list a couple of weeks ago! I've liked all their songs I've heard (on the radio) so far. Nothing deep & meaningful, and nothing that will probably stick in my mind for many years to come, simply some catchy tunes that are kinda fun to listen to. Just my ideas..............

Great to hear from you! But I just wanted you to know that I don't think (or I hope not) anyone ever said that those people who don't make postings to this list aren't diehard fans. I agree with you entirely that this is not the case! It's quite understandable that some of us don't have time to write - heaven knows just reading all the messages keeps us on our toes enough - and that others feel no need to respond because someone else will make the point they would have made themselves, and that still others simply enjoy reading without having to become a part of the discussions.

If I am not wrong, then oh well cause Kim rocks on his guitar. Also, anyone have the album Fresh Deadly Rarities? I just got it and it's very cool. Anyone like the remix of Like Suicide? Or the Beatles song, Come Together? I thought SG's version was much cool..

Will everyone please send me 1) Everyone's Favorite Soundgarden Lyric/Song Verse 2) Everyone's Favorite Seattle Band Lyric/Song Verse 3) Everyone's Favorite Song Verse of all time. I will tabulate and post the results to the list in a week or so. This is a chance for you introverted list members to respond too, we all love Soundgardens music so there is nothing to be shy about.
