Re: Big Dumb Sex ------------------------------------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: T-shirt designs GK>Chris's fork or is it from another source? Is that your fork Nothingman? Nope. It's not my fork. There's a slight problem with this fork (the one on the shirt), though. On Chris' fork, the two middle prongs don't ever turn backwards like the one there. And the outside tongs don't go out quite as much. I have a pretty good fork that was a bitch to make, because of twisting the middle prongs without turning them over, if you know what I mean. I think the shirt should have the fork right side up, but other than that, I like it. Nothingman -And Chris also has a ring on his, occasionally. ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: A boy named Kim GK>covered them? Guns 'n Roses did. Who else? Anybody know of any bands GK>that have covered an SG song? Well, someone mentioned before about the Chilli Peppers doing Fopp, and another said that it wasn't really a cover of SG because it's not by SG. But anyway, Superchunk (I think) did Girl U Want, which would fit under this same category. Other than that, I can't think of any. But I'm sure Pearl Jam did some somewhere along the way, just because they seem to do that type of thing...like when Chris sang Alive at the end of Slaves and Bulldozers. Nothingman -I'll bet Candlebox would do a good cover of Spoonman. ------------------------------ From: He Who Walks Between Subject: Re: A boy named Kim On Fri, 23 Feb 1996, Geoff wrote: > FOPP is not written by SG though.

Ohio Players is the name of the original whatever they were that played FOPP first. Btw, i heard the original version of "Thank You Fa Lettin Me Be Mice-Elf Again" tonight. It was pretty wierd to hear it without Chris' voice. Yes, i am sheltered from classic rock. The first time i ever heard Led Zeppelin's "I gotta woman that won't be true" (or whatever) was this morning when my alarm clock woke me up to it. -j "Damn right, i'm argumentative" -Kim Thayil aka Chicka Jackeen, A Livein Thesu (Per Unkn Own).

Hello I'm not getting any messages, is something wrong? By the way i recently got Songs from the Superunkown, on import in Australia, and am a little dissapointed, because the last song is not really a song just them fooling around. Wow i just realised i have four versions of Fell on Black Days :) "Happiness is not for us to find but for us to search for" ------------------------------ From: He Who Walks Between Subject: The official page still sucks, though. Ok, i clicked on sheet music, hoping for something interesting. Well, i am told that our friends Cherry Lane have printed books for the albums LTL, BMF, and Superunknown, and a "best of" book. (Which i have browsed through, and is just songs from those three albums.) And then the thing tells me "No lyrics, sheet music, or ablature is available for any other soundgarden music." What they don't know won't hurt them, i guess. But i feel bad that the official people still don't know what they are talking about. And, btw, seth, your page still blows the imusic one out of the water and in to interstellar regions. Seems like they'd fix that image on the first page that doesn't reach the bottom of the screen like it appears it should. Seth, maybe after you graduate, you should go work for them. (Just to take over, of course). -j "Damn right, i'm argumentative" -Kim Thayil aka Chicka Jackeen, A Livein Thesu (Per Unkn Own).

Well, it indirectly (i mean REALLY indirectly) has a link to seth's page. It tells you to go visit cherry lane's homepage. Of course, they didn't make it easy enough for you to just click on the url and go there. You have to type the damn url in yourself. But, anyway, the Cherry Lane page has a link to seth's page. Seth, how the hell did you pull this off? You have on your page for free material which they are selling, but they even include a link to your page.

If there's a LOT of purple in it, getting a purple shirt cuts back the cost. Also, watch out, because if we use high-quality shirts/lots of colors, the price goes up. Front and back raises the price too...so if we're being cost efficient, two colors front is good...if we're gonna go crazy, let's go crazy! >------------------------------ >From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us >Subject: Ben Shepard >the Soundgarden way.

I dreamt that Chris and Matt died in a car crash. It was like a flashback to the Kurt Cobain thing. I was at home watching my evil television, with the soul sucking MTV tuned in. Suddenly there's Kurt Loder holding that damn piece of paper that always means trouble. He said something like "Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron from the band Soundgarden were killed this morning when they collided head on with a moving truck. Cameron was pronounced dead at the scene, while Cornell died later of massive head injuries at the hospital." That's not exactly what he said, but close enough. Someone please hold my hand and promise me that they won't die until they're at least 90 or something. Please? It was a TERRIBLE dream.

Or maybe the guru told him. You know, the guru...the guy that sits on top of the mountain and never comes outta his tent, because he's jerking off.

Can you figure out the lyrics? The lyrics are on Seth's page. Or at least there's a link to them somewhere on there (hell, there's a link to EVERYTHING). BT>Anyone? I thnk the BT>first line is "Like mineral days(?)/Blue colored lines on your face/Rebel BT>in your midst/ Settling like death to pay(?)..." Black lemon days is first, but it sounds like you got the rest right. As for the song as a whole, I think it's the same basic idea as the album version, just with different wording. I like the lyrics to the album one better, though. Although I do like the "Walkin' the devil's dog and carrying his groceries" just because he says groceries. It's the only song I've ever heard that word in before. Nothingman -I'm a search light soul they say, but I can't see it in the night. ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 45] ***************************************
