It was hard enough to find SG fans in my hometown in OH where I lived for 17 years. So if anyone is close to Hilton Head, please let me know.

Mailman (for any man or woman who has been treated badly this could become a anthem) 2. Outshined 3. Fell On Black Days...this is the song that peaked my interest in SG Thanks to everyone on the list who gave opinions on the two SG videos Motorvision and the other (my brain isn't working)! Anyway I ordered both of them. I have never seen SG live and I have to see Ben "Gumby" Shepherd moving around on stage. Any SG fans in Alabama?? Keep it up with the Lolla info. I am planning a major driving vacation and could put the city of my choice on the list. - -- Marqie ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: boots ME>> ME>Aww, Nothingman, we love you just the way you are!

Gumby is a green claymation guy who is stretchy as hell and can be squashed and stuff. He has a partner named Pokey, who is a horse and, like Gumby, is stretchy.

I think, when they say that, that they mean that raspy thing that all the Seattle people do very well. Chris Cornell does it, Kurt Cobain used to, Layne Staley, Eddie Vedder, and some others. Then again, there are Scott Weiland, Gavin Rossdale, Daniel Johns (Silverchair) who do the same sorta thing and aren't even from Seattle. Oh well. I knew what they mean, I think.

JY>Does anyone else think that stupid on-line mtv yak thing is stupid? I JY>can't even stand to read some of the things those people say. I hate that, especially when Green Day comes on. Because they all go, "YAAA!!! GREEN DAY!!! I LOVE IT!!!" and "Isn't Billie Joe just the greatest?" Ya, if you like short little dweebs with crooked teeth who can't dress themselves. It makes me yak.

That reminds me of the Wipers. I saw in some magazine that they kinda set the standard for rock in the Pacific northwest in the 80s. I also saw that there is an album out dedicated to them, and Nirvana does one of their songs. I have their album, and it kinda sucks, but it's ok, I guess. Well, ok for a quarter (good thing I didn't pay any more for it, huh?) Nothingman -ACK!

LOL!!! :)> "Exit Flintstone".... ;)> What an amazing idea! I think someone needs to write to SG and tell them our brilliant idea, and maybe we'll see it on the b-side of the first single off the next album. "Wilma, I can't see my feet! Wilma, I can't stand your hair! Wilma, get that damn dog off me!" (Wilma) EXIT FLINSTONE! EXIT FLINTSTONE!!!"

I like other bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Pearl Jam, but none of them can do what Soundgarden does. Everytime I play a SG album, especially Louder than Love, there's a sense of power and dominance. The music kinda sucks you in. You feel like they are powerful and you must listen to them. Songs like Gun and Power Trip, especially. There's a type of aura emanating from the stereo speakers. It's like the music is so heavy and powerful, that you must listen. Sorry to ramble, but I have just had a divine experience. i had to share it.

Hopefully the new venue and date will make it possible for Mr. Thayil to attend. really bad tv on friday nights...on the contrary...friday is the best night for TV. The X-files and Homicide are two of the best shows on television right now! Next time set your VCR for Fox at 9pm EST and Homicide on NBC at 10pm EST. steve - - swr@acsu.buffalo.edu - - http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~swr - - SG Web Alliance ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 25] ***************************************
