On that live broadcast from Eddie Vedder's house a while ago, after Soundgarden played 'Kyle Petty' (i think), Chris says "all these songs are for Cory".. does anybody know who Cory is? and also what was the fast, punky song they played where the chorus seems to be "no intentions"? oh yea..and Matt just kicks ass! I've been playing nothing but SG for the past week on drums... ------------------------------ Subject: SOMMS t-shirt Web page From: seth Hello all, I've received some potential t-shirt artwork, so I slapped together a Web page so we can all check out the graphics and talk about what's good, what's bad, whether or not we want to use them, etc. http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden/list/shirt/ There's also a link from the Member Directory page. If you have something to contribute, please send it along and I'll add it to the Web page -- unless anyone has a problem with evaluating the artwork via the Web, in which case please do suggest a different method. seth ------------------------------ From: dasanche@students.wisc.edu (Thrak) Does anybody have or make bootlegs of Soundgarden on CD?

But if Cornell were to really wail and rock, I would almost have to say that PJ Harvey would be a better choice.

She's got a powerful voice, it would be a weird match but I think it would sound pretty good. The problem is that chris's voice would swallow up most female vocalists. Imagine him singing with Tonya Donnely, or Juliana Hatfield? The both have nice voices but once Chris's belted out verse like on "reach down" or "I awake", "tdittl", "limo wreck", "mailman" etc, etc it would just sound like one person was singing.

I hope someone associated with SG keeps tabs on this list and reads some of the posts to them. That one was a classic. I love you guys!! Actually, I see Chris more as the ghost of Christmas present, and Kim as the ghost of Christmas future. Matt is obviously Tim, and only Ben could fully bring out Scrooge's character. Kim would make death look sooo cool. He's evil looking, anyway.

That chic is Stephanie from Babes? Are you sure? Absolutely positive? I always wondered who that was. I've got the song on the "Coverins'" import. It doesn't say who's singing with Chris. Ok... don't slam me anyone. And please don't laugh me off the list. But what about Courtney Love? That would be an interesting duet. Of course, they'd have to take special precautions to keep Courtney from molesting/raping Chris, but it's all for the sake of art, right?

(another excellent song) I think that "he" is perhaps the narrator's conscience. But maybe not; it works for me. Think about it: "he" is always there, near me, etc. etc. Just a thought. What are your thoughts on the FOBD demo? Can you figure out the lyrics? Anyone? I thnk the first line is "Like mineral days(?)/Blue colored lines on your face/Rebel in your midst/ Settling like death to pay(?)..." I would totally appreciate the corect (?) lyrics to this song, as I would love to cover it once my band gets a gig somewhere. Of course we need a singer and a bassist first... - -and longed to taste the shame, that everybody tries- On 23 Feb 1996 rc@gcc.cc.md.us wrote: > AR>>First, take just about any line from Big Dumb Sex.

After the song the DJ said that Kim had worked with Johnny Cash on the Twisted Willie CD and that the two of them had gotten on so well that Johnny is going to cover -are you ready for this?? "Rusty Cage" on his newest CD!!! She didn't say whether Kim was going to play the guitar or not. Maybe he'll play the banjo? The mind Boggles!! Can you imagine the conversations??

I got my paycheck and went out hunting for SG stuff. First I saw the '96 SG calender for $7.99 at this one store. I was going to buy it, and then I decided to get it on the way back. It's a good thing, too, because the next store I went to was selling all their calendars for $4.99!! Yahoo! At this same store, I have been stalking a copy of the TDITTL single. This copy has been sitting on the shelf for a year. It wasn't in the wrapper and the guy wanted $14.99. There was no way I was going to pay that much for an unwrapped copy. Today he was selling it for $4.99! Hahahahaha. I went across the street and found a SG shirt I have never seen before. It says SOUNDGARDEN on the front in a font I have not seen before, with blue and red spiral letters. There is an old key and wooden tag that says 'superunknown' hanging from the 'G', and an eyeball on the left sleeve. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. >>>-------------------------------> Geoff Kleemola gkleemol@io.uwinnipeg.ca U of Winnipeg Psychology student http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~gkleemol <-------------------------------<<< ------------------------------ From: kgbryant@mail.utexas.edu (Kelly Bryant) Subject: Re: A boy named Kim >Today on the radio here in Chicago they played "Rusty Cage" which is always >great to hear unexpectly!

I am from Texas (Austin specifically), and let me tell you some of those cowboys can really ROCK!! Willie for one. I have seen that guy several times and he'll get up there and play for 3 hours straight (alot longer than I've seen many other groups play). Its good to see musicans that seem to have nothing in common working together. I can't wait to hear the finished product.

It's been revised, significantly! There's now a FAQ and a discog (though when I checked it out, a few of the links were not set up correctly), and it does look excellent (hats off to Alex Mayer, the graphics man). They claim, unfortunately, that SOMMS was released on CD only. http://imusic.com/soundgarden seth ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 44] ***************************************
