Hey, I've just discovered something really cool. You know the spoon solo in spoonman (of course)? Well I was just listening to it while typing on this here computer at work, and I have found out that you can play along with Otis's solo on the keyboard. This may not interest you at all but, if you have a four track and the music to spoonman you could do a really cool rendition on your computer. Or you could just learn to play the spoons!

How about Soundgarden covering Evidence or THE REAL THING? Krissy ------------------------------ From: sean@ramoth.unl.edu (Sean McCarthy) Subject: re:Sugar-opening act?? Hey All- I'm going to have to agree with grote here, Sugar would be the ideal opening act. Think about it, the only talented singer/songwriter that can write lyrics as dark and introspective as C. Cornell would have to be Bob Mould. Those who don't think that Sugar can rock as hard as Soundgarden need only to listen to Copper Blue, or better yet, pick up some of Bob Mould's former work with Husker Du, one of the heaviest groups I have ever had the experience of listening to. And with the possibility of Bob Mould retiring or going into more acoustic work(his hearing is failing, casuing some tone deafness to set in), I would really like to see Sugar and Soundgarden pair up. How bout Red Rocks Stadium in Denver CO. for a good opening date??

The correction would entail replacing "fire hydrant" with "fire engine". After making this error (so sue me) I began to ponder the whole idea of hydrants and engines. Is it just me or are fire engines just a little bit played out? I can't even begin to count how many times a day I deal with fire engines. The hydrant on the other hand gets little recognition. Don't you all thinks it's about time homage was payed to the lowly fire hydrant. So stop whatever you are doing and give three cheers for the fire hydrant, the key player in the continual fight against that dastardly little manace known as fire. And the next time you are walking down your street and you spot a fiesty little canine about to sling his leg over a hydrant for little territorial marking/relief, give it a little nudge and say: "Hey Rover, how about using a tree today", you will be glad you did.

Then I also started thinking about it, and how often I hear those damn fire engine sirens, and I'm thinking, "I'm pretty sure theirs not that many fires around here", I mean, where are they going? All dressed up in their fire gear, ridin' around town, mr. big stuff. Yeah right. They're probably on their way to a parade. I'm just gonna ask 'em next time where the hell they're going. I know this hasn't anything to do w/ Soundgarden so, does anybody know (and I mean know) what CC says at the end of incessant mace?

Does anyone have it yet? Details please? Well....the only famous person (music wise) I have met was Michael Hutchence of INXS. Remember INXS? Well, I've seen them live 9 times (STOP LAUGHING!!!!). One time in particular, I got backstage by some amazing stroke of good luck & bad security. I met Mike and he gave me a beer. I was in awe because I was @ 14 or 15 at the time (looked much older though). That was quite some time ago. I don't remember what we talked about, but I did keep that cup for a few years. Anyhoo.... For the person wondering how to get backstage passes: GEEZE!!! Don't you watch tv!?! Just grab a pack of Mentos, pop one in your mouth, put on a bandanna, grab a piece of equipment, and the security guard will just let you walk on by....'cause you're a FRESHMAKER!!! The ULTIMATE SG Unplugged setlist: "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver The "Conjunction Junction, What's your Function?" song The theme to the "Mickey Mouse Club" (dedicated to your's truly) "I Like Beer" by Hank Williams Any White Zombie tune (I would REALLY like to see them accomplish THAT!!!) any SG tunes of their choosing Then, they could stop and Kim could do a reading from one of those "Highlights" magazines. You know, those stories that are told in pictures instead of words......I could never figure those stories out.... Ooooops...gotta go....my therapist is calling.....Mick ------------------------------ From: MickMuise@aol.com Subject: more famous people Hi again - Oh geeze.......I forgot I met Pat Smear (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) this past August!! I was with a couple of friends outside of the Avalon (the club they were performing at), and he came right up and started talking to us. He was so cool. He is difficult to describe.....he's just so...."Pat-ish"....that is the only way I could describe him....he was very outgoing and super-friendly. He asked us if we wanted to take his picture (I don't know.....maybe he felt unloved that day or something), so we did. He stayed and gabbed with us for a while and then went into soundcheck. Gawd.....and to think.....I actually admitted to that INXS thing earlier....ok....so....the 80's happened....it wasn't my fault.....

This band called Kickball was plaing at a Cafe and i had went to see them. They kicketh major ass. I had seen two of the guys from the band do acoustic shows before hand and i thought both of them were good. Considering he usually only plays acoustic guitar, the guy that played bass was kicking major ass. But then again so was the guitarist/vocalist. And after the show i was just standing around loitering and John Gillespie, the vocalist/guitarist, just introduced himself to me. i proceeded to tell him that the show kicked major ass and that i wanted a tape. He said they're working on it. But considering he teaches at a high school and the bass player is in college, they don't have very much time. So if you ever hear of a band called kickball, buy the record, or go see them, or whatever. John was a really down to earth individual. They had more fun on stage than half the bands i've seen put together, and that carries through into their music. mind you, i don't hold them above sg, but i do think they are damn good to be a band w/out a record deal. And that was only the third time they had ever played together live. Well, i think i have said enoguh about them now. They're playing again Sunday and i am walking a couple miles in order to see them. -j ------------------------------ From: Matthew Souza Subject: Re: Meeting Famous People/Unplugged setlist On Wed, 8 Nov 1995 MickMuise@aol.com wrote: > Then, they could stop and Kim could do a reading from one of those > "Highlights" magazines.
