Jamie ------------------------------ From: Christopher Pres Subject: Mother Mania Hello fellow SG fans, Has anyone heard a song called "Soundgarden Sucks" sung by a low life group called Mother Mania? Is this some sort of joke or did they seriously write this song in order to make fun of SG. If they wrote this seriously, then they are a sad, pathetic group looking for attention. I guess they got what they were looking for. I don't know the lyrics to the song and I have never even heard it but I know people who have. SG fan forever, Christopher ------------------------------ From: Carolyn Subject: Re: List t-shirt >On Feb 21, 1996 01:14:53, DEFsonic wrote: >>How about we think up a slogon: Toni responded: >""Every word I said is what I mean" >"Drawing Flames" >"Posting with our good eye closed" >"Soundgarden-Beer-Chicken Fajitas Life is Good!" - T Hey - I like "Posting with our good eye closed". Keeps with a Soundgarden song and yet has a Somms list theme - posting. Anyone else agree?? And can we have a t-shirt that's NOT black? All the SG t-shirts I have are black - it'd be nice to have one in another colour (I'm not fussed what other colour).

Ben Shepherd, the bassist who dresses "preppy" to qoute someone on this mailing list, used to be a huge fan. Just like Kim Thayil used to like the New York Dolls and Kiss, Ben used to love moshing and creating havoc in his younger days. I personally think GG is offensive and was a threat to himself and tractable young people but his point is a lot like that of progressive bands these days---that is that you should be able to express your opinions in a form you think is suitable. For example, Soundgarden's "Hands All Over" we all agree is about environmental destruction, not matricide, yet radios won't play it. GG Allin tried to use extreme forms of expression to depict his life and his vision of others' lives. Lastly, listening to a guy like GG Allin or let's say Slayer, doesn't mean you're self-destructive, insane, or disturbed---just look at Ben Shepherd and many of Allin's fans. ------------------------------ Subject: Re: List t-shirt From: seth > >On Feb 21, 1996 01:14:53, DEFsonic wrote: > >>How about we think up a slogon: > > Toni responded: > >""Every word I said is what I mean" > >"Drawing Flames" > >"Posting with our good eye closed" > >"Soundgarden-Beer-Chicken Fajitas Life is Good!" - T > > Hey - I like "Posting with our good eye closed". > Keeps with a Soundgarden song and yet has a Somms list theme - posting. > Anyone else agree??

I wouldn't mind a nice, heavy white shirt, actually. seth ------------------------------ From: He Who Walks Between Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Sunday, 18 Feb 1996 On Tue, 20 Feb 1996, Matthew Paul Lawrence wrote: > > an accident of some sort, cut off the tips of the fingers on his left > > hand..which is the hand used for holding the strings.

Yeah, he wasn't even gonna go to work that day, but his mom talked him into it, saying that it was the "responsible thing to do". I wonder if he eternally hated his mom after that. -j "Damn right, i'm argumentative" -Kim Thayil aka Chicka Jackeen, A Livein Thesu (Per Unkn Own).

It was really cool. I took two pictures of him playing. Terri ------------------------------ From: Geoff Subject: Re: List t-shirt 'Posting with my good eye closed' sounds good to me! Heavy white sounds good, too. Are we seriously talking about making a somms member t-shirt? I was going to mention it a while back, but I forgot. I was on the mopar mailing list for a while and they were working on a t-shirt. We need somebody to organize, and we need designs and we need to vote. I'll buy one! >>>-------------------------------> Geoff Kleemola gkleemol@io.uwinnipeg.ca U of Winnipeg Psychology student http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~gkleemol <-------------------------------<<< ------------------------------ From: Mohit Krishan Bawa Subject: Re: Mother Mania I haven't heard of the song, "SG Sucks" or of Mother Mania. I do know that Primus fans have shirts that say "Primus sucks." Maybe the MM song wants to take the same approach but I am not sure.
