I called Sub Pop a couple of weeks ago and ordered by mail with a credit card. It was $35.00 + $3.00 for Priority Mail. It is a very nice hardcover 9"x10 1/2". They have a decent amount of pictures of Soundgarden (mainly Chris Cornell). One recent picture of Chris that is great. Also alot of Nirvana, some PJ, Mudhoney, L7, AIC, Tad, etc. A CD also came with the book. It has Soundgarden 'Entering' from Loud Love. Also, Green River, Mudhoney, Nirvana, Tad, Screaming Trees, Beat Happening, Seaweed and the Fastbacks. It also came with a few stickers and a Supersuckers guitar pick. The phone number to order is 1-800-SUBPOP1. nephend ------------------------------ From: yakk@ix.netcom.com (Norman Bauer ) Subject: It would be nice if... Sometimes when I read your soundgarden mail, the mail is long, and I have to wait a long time. Some days I don't feel like waiting 2 or 3 minutes to read it. Is there anyway you can post how many K's the mail is. Thanks!! ------------------------------ From: Geoff Kleemola Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Friday, 20 Oct 1995 There definitely was a second version of the Outshined video. I probably have both versions on videotape around here somewhere... The second one was released for Canada only! It's true. I was watching MuchMusic when it premiered. I'll try to find both copies, watch them and send descriptions to the list.

Apologies, AOLers. Well, i have to admit, i got $30 (American, yes) together finally and i did not buy UltramegaUnknown. Instead, i bought "Good Wierd Feeling" by the Odds. I know all you Canadians are going "That cost that much?!", but i have went to 31 1/2 record stores asking if they had or could get that album. Only one could. That one was a Blockbuster store, so i asked them to order it. They said it would be there in a week. Two months later it arrived in the store. Unfortunately, the people in the store could not find it. So the cute clerk girl got my phone #, and said she would call me if it turned up. I waited a week and didn't hear from her, so i went back and asked someone else (only because cute clerk girl wasn't there) to see if he could find it. He found it! He found it! The only reason i am not listening to it right at this moment is because my roommate is asleep and i don't have any headphones. So, now i think that i am either the only American in possession of this album or one of few. (The people near the border don't count. Nor does anyone else who could have bought it in Canada.) So yes, i will play this album for evrryone else to listen to. This will be the first time in months that i get to hear "Eat My Brain" Yes!!!!!!!!!! I don't care if that song gets played 1,000,000,000 times, i will still love it. Or maybe that is just because the video is so cool. I don't know. Oh well. Sorry to hear about Shannon Hoon's death, though. I was hoping that Blind Melon would record their next album high, like they did the first one. That's why everyone says that the current one sucks; they didn't get high while they were recording it. I wonder what exactly he od'ed on. but no, this won't affect anything like Kurt Cobain's death did. Shannon Hoon didn't have the same popularity. Although he was a better lyric writer, imho. And he wasn't part of any "scene". I do wonder what the rest of the band is gonna do though. Anyone in Canada heard the new Dead Milkmen album yet? Someone told me it was already released up there. It will be relesed here in a couple of days. Well, i'll stop wasting KB's now. Later all, j ***************************************************************************** "I'm luck's last match struck in the pouring down wind." -Soundgarden ***************************************************************************** ------------------------------ From: hakan.tyndall@mailbox.swipnet.se (Hekan Tyndall) Subject: Re: Opinions on this and that >i also think that while they're taking the art >seriously, they're not taking themselves seriously. >(snip) > their >music lacks a lot of pretentiousness that some bands (ahem, pearl jam) >seem to broadcast. correct you are. as neil young (for instance) has proven you can take your ART seriously but still let a self-depracating humour surround your person. By that approach you show that you trust the music to speak for itself. Regarding Pearl Jam, I think that Vitalogy showed some encouraging signs in this direction and also that the diversity of the album showed them trying slightly to redefine themselves. But then again, opinons differ... Haakan ------------------------------ From: Experiment@aol.com Subject: Vocals?

Where do I start with such a wonderful piece of mail. By the way where are the third and fourth copies of this message Liesl? You are the same person who managed to send twenty pieces of the same mail to this list aren't you? Maybe you should learn a bit more about what YOU are doing before you try to criticise others. Friendship is fine sure, but this isn't the friendship mailing list, this is the Soundgarden mailing list. We are here to talk Soundgarden, that's why we are setting up the member directory. a) to promote friendship and happiness among the gardeners and b) to kill all the dud postings on the topic like Sara's and yours. At least the posts you referred to have Soundgarden content, perhaps you should read more of your mail so you get a clue as to how this whole thing works. If you can find me a magazine that offers the diversity of opinions and knowledge on Soundgarden that this list offers send it to me and I'll be happy to leave you this list for whatever purpose you desire it (just one copy of that magazine will suffice). Also the only bios I saw on that post were of people I'd never read anything from before, and that hardly qualifies them as people I 'share the list' with. Finally, I think I have enough friends to avoid lodging my bio in your personals column. If this is the sort of thing you like it makes me wonder how much per minute it costs you to make your friends. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: SOMMS Shirts!!

Too bad, I also thought U2's earlier >stuff was cool. I agree. U2 revolutionized the industry with songs like The Fly, Mysterious Ways, that stuff. The best stuff was way back (circa Live Under A Blood Red Sky). Now, however, they are turning away from their roots and playing...uuhhhh...stuff. Soundgarden did a little of that, however they added to their sound rather than deminish it. In the eyes of many, Superunknown is NOT typical Soundgarden. In the eyes of many, there is no such thing as typical Soundgarden.

Is this phrase limited to our list, or is it a www-wide term, or is it an Americanism, or am I just out of it (probably the later)? The word is used so much on the list, I think it is dangerously close to being a cliche, and yet I see it nowhere else. Please explain. .....On the 13th of October, 1958, at 2.35 in the aternoon, not a single person in the world spoke a word for ten whole seconds. This is an untruth. (Just a bit of verbal sculpture to pas the time). David ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 1 Issue 78] ***************************************
