Some of the more dim-witted people are saying this is a damn talk show, instead of a valid discussion of music, BULLSHIT! I draw my analogy to biking and beer for this, there're way too many bike magazines out there that tap in the technical aspect of biking, and there're a lot of groups out there who only want to talk about the technical aspects of Soundgarden. I would like to learn guitar, but for now, I look at this list as a list where people share their experiences listening to Soundgarden. There's a mag. out there called BIKE magazine that operates in the same format, articles of people's experiences with biking, beer and how they're associated. I may be rambling, but this is probably the only list that deals with this certain end of the musical spectrum. If you don't like it, piss off. And a possible topic to get the pearl jam debate out of our systems, favorite place to listen to Soundgarden Just a thought Peace Sean ------------------------------ From: He Who Walks Between Subject: Re: Soundgarden and beer On Mon, 20 Nov 1995, Sean McCarthy wrote: > favorite place to listen to Soundgarden Was: in my former car with the windows rolled down, going 65-75 mph, and with the amp turned up so high that you can't hear the wind blowing through the wide open windows. Unfortunately i had to tear that stereo system out and sell the car. I loved my 87 escort. So now i guess my favorite place to listen to soundgarden is....at a concert! Don't get me worng, i don't mean while the band is playing. I watched Fathom (local band, friends of mine) open for someone the other night and after their set the owner of the place played BMF trhough the PA. Me and Fathom's bassist were in heaven. I think we both destroyed our vocal chords singing/screaming along. Fathom's drummer told us that he heard us while he was backstage. The PA speakers were twelve feet nearer to backstage than we were. But maybe at a concert with the band playing would be cool...but only if the band is soundgarden. But i would settle for a soundgarden tribute band. (Anybody know of any of these?). But i guess if the owner of the place doesn't play sg, at a concert would be a little difficult, so my third choice would have to be...er.....er.......In my room back at home where i can turn it up as loud as i want to as long as no one in the house is asleep and i'm completely free to scream along w/out my fear of 'disturbing the peace'.

Rugby team. Anyway, I had a couple of ales in me and the guy started playing Badmotorfinger. Aside from me, my best friend and the employees, there was maybe 2 other people in the bar. I didn't dig Badmotorfinger when it came out initially. Everything that I thought Soundgarden stood for and was so good at, was in 'Louder Than Love' so my BMF tape was gathering much dust. I really didn't start listening to it again until after I picked up Superunknown. Anyway, after another Boulevard Wheat Ale, Jesus Christ Pose came on, then it was 'Searching with my good eye', I was just bowled. I never realized how creative and how tripped out the CD was. By the time 'Mind Riot' ended, I was kicking myself for only playing that tape 3 or 4 times since 1992, and it was 1994. Needless to say that I bought BMF used on CD the next day. Anymore tho, the best place to listen to Soundgarden is on my headphones when I'm biking on a trail that I don't have to worry about traffic. If the trail is 30 miles long and flat or a 10 miles heavily vegetated trail, it just seems to go perfect with it.

I had an experience this morning that I want to share. I sat down at a study cubicle in the university library today to study for an impending exam. I had just started to scrawl my unintelligible and useless notes when I looked up, and there on the wall infront of me, in red pen, were the words to a verse from Rusty Cage. In 3 years at university, this is the first sign I have seen of any fellow students being SG fans. I have not met ANYONE at the Uni of South Australia who likes SG. It blew me away. I grabed my pen and wrote on the wall: "You are my soulmate.. SG FUCKING KICKS" Then I settled down and stared blankly at my text book for two hours. Anyway, this experience made my day in a week of depressing study, and I had to tell someone. David "You're fantastic.

Like a 40-minute >jam or whatever? Cuz I have those four songs and I'm not gonna buy it if >it doesn't have any new music on it, cuz I don't have a cd rom :( Or is >that this hidden track yer talking about? Try it in a normal cd >player... Did you see the EP version of it by any chance? >Stolen Prayers Sorry this has taken me so long to respond to but my mail system is having a heart attack. This is the information on the liner for the CD Plus This disc is a CD Plus, a new type of compact disc which delivers both audio and multimedia to you on one disc. This disc contains four audio tracks that can be played on your audio CD player and a multimedia world to explore through your CD-ROM drive. Explore the visual. Some of it strange. Some of it really strange. Some of it Superunknow. Then go further... Live performances. Rare and previously unreleased music, photographs, video and animation. And much, much more. Now can you understand why I'm not having a very good evening. I can't get to the CD-ROM stuff. I will spend my last day at work this week, searching for a CD-ROM to play this on.

It was a peaceful time, the conversation revolving almost exclusively around -- believe it or not -- Soundgarden. I was just looking at the archive...any of you old-timers want to reflect on how the list has changed since its inception? seth ------------------------------ From: Kylie Hayes Subject: Soundgarden/Australia?? Anyone heard of any plans for Soundgarden to tour Australia?? Kyl ------------------------------ From: ward brandon t Subject: fell on black days dem I purchased an import single of "Fell on Black Days" over the summer, and I must say that I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in seeing what the song was like before Michael Beinhorn influenced the guys in SG to change it. The demo version that is on the cd is a rather heavy song, reminiscent of "OUtshined" and "Slaves and Bulldozers". The lyrics are also totally different. e.g. "Now you're walking the devil's dog/And carrying in his groceries". This is a kind of random letter, but I felt that I had to share this wtih the loyal fans ot there. I love the imagery that Chris puts into the lyrics in the demo, but my only complaint is that his voice is a little lost in the mix. If anyone knows all the words out there, please mail me, or mail me anyway if you just feel like taliking about the most kick ass band to come around in the last decade or two. ------------------------------ From: Experiment@aol.com Subject: Re: CC = Jesus?

I could be OK if the management payed for it, but then I suppose they would surely want to control and edit it the way _they_ this is acceptable... - --- jpop@fly.cc.fer.hr --- Sit back and watch my divine spark flash... -- jovica.popovic@fer.hr -- Disclaimer: I didn't do it, nobody saw me do - Jovica Popovic - it, can't prove anything! ------------------------------ From: 9304458s <9304458s@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au> Subject: Re: A question from a pickled mind On Mon, 20 Nov 1995, seth wrote: > I sent the first message to the list on Friday, 28 Jul 1995 10:18:36 > EDT. We're coming up on the 4-month anniversary! Wow! I had imagined that there were people yakking away on the SOMMS list back in BadMotorFinger days. I've been here for a couple of months, so I guess I've seen about half of the SOMMS history. Thanks, people. David. ------------------------------ Subject: Web Web Web From: seth Well, I've put all of the info from the liner notes of the new _Alive in the Superunknown_ CD Plus on the Web page. I don't know how useful this will be to anyone. (I will have some real input about the new release as soon as I get a chance to check it out in its entirety) I've also retrieved, formatted and made available for your perusal the official transcript from Soundgarden's AOL chat session. Now this is _extremely_ interesting: you may remember that I sent a message to the list that included some comments from the SPINonline host about our Web page versus the official site. From Steve's log, SPINmc said the following about our page: ...and is way better than the official site, which is at http://Rocktropolis.com/Soundgarden/ Now, according to the official transcript, SPINmc said: ...The official site is still under construction and will supposedly rock once it is finished. Tak a look at that over at http://Rocktropolis.com/Soundgarden/. It seems that someone affiliated with Soundgarden (Silver Management, perhaps?) exercised final editing authority and made SPIN alter the truth before making the transcript public. Very interesting (to me, at least), indeed. seth ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 1 Issue 107] ****************************************
