Re: ASCAP Homepage Lollapalooza tour dates ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Jammie Subject: mlb i think the album everyone is talking about is a reissue of shine and apple w/ 2 bonus tracks...another version of "Capricorn Sister" and the second being "Lady Godiva Blues" they put it out as "Mother Love Bone" after pearl jam got big just to see if it would brush off on mother Love Bone's record sales. It was around the time the whole seattle thing got big. Jeff Ament was really pissed about it though cause he said that "Lady Godiva Blues" wasn't good enough to be on the album since they had never released it before. and btw, it's so weird, the only time i really get to see SG videos is on Beavis and Butt-head. So far on that show i've seen Rusty Cage, Outshined, Spoonman, and Black Hole Sun on that show.. ------------------------------ From: SteveJDrew@aol.com can find some really good Soundarden Tab? ------------------------------ From: "R.

Well, maybe to be in the middle of it, but Well guys always dream of 2 girls kissing, with or without them in the middle, so i guess this once we'll let you get away with it :) This doesn't have to do with all those RHCP photos with everyone hanging toungues in each others ear etc etc does it??

Let the blood rush to your head!! CD I'm listening to this week: "Blood Blister" by GravelRash ------------------------------ From: Gregory Wawro Subject: head down "Head Down" is my favorite song on _SuperUnknown_, mostly because of Matt's incredible drumming. Here's what I think "Head Down" is about. It's about people ("the establishment," your parents, etc.) keeping you down and preventing you from enjoying life to the fullest. "We" in the song is anyone who keeps you down. They watch you and figure out what makes you feel good (laughing, dancing, smiling) or how you express happiness and take it away from you or force you to suppress it. They like it when you fail, and beat you down when you try to succeed. The imagery in the song is very powerful (I had some ideas for a video for this song, but I guess it's too late). Picture a person (how about yourself) crying. A fatherly or motherly like figure stands above you, at first appearing sympathetic. He/she gently places his/her hand under your chin and turns your head so that you are looking at them. A slight smile crosses his/her face and you think perhaps he/she is going to console you. But the only reason the person lifted your head was so that they could get a clean shot at you and slap your face. I don't think this song is depressing. It's about recognizing what others do to you to prevent you from living your life the way you want to live. Once you recognize that you can do something about it, so it's kind of empowering. Those are my thoughts. As Chris says in HOA, "Hands all over, words I utter, make them into, things you want to, like balls of clay."

In the early days of the revolution last year, many freshmen said they did not care about re-election as long as they upheld their conservative principles. It is hard to find a member claiming to be unconcerned about an election that is now just nine months away." CQWR, p. 281 (Feb. 3, 1996) ------------------------------ From: John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt Subject: @>:^| < Ben Shepherd in Germany Hey, I was just thinking yesterday: Didn't Badmotorfinger/Somms come in one of those archaic cardboard long-boxes? I think I still have it at home in my closet. I can't remember for sure because I have bought Badmoterfinger 3 times and the box might be from the first purchase. Then you get to wondering: How much would Somms be worth in a sealed long-box? Is there one on this planet? Wait! I know it came in a long box! I remember it now. It said Limited Edition on the top in a gold box with the red triangles on the ends and between the songs that were on somms. It had a different back too, but it's been so long. Sorry to ramble so much but I have one more question: Does anyone know anything about that extra Nevermind track that is just noise for the most part that seems to be on every fourth album. I have it but how rare is it? And does it make my CD worth anything? (Not that Nirvana will ever be worth more than Somms in the original longbox . . .)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ------------------------------ From: MAYOR McCHEESE Subject: ha lf As soon as I can, I am going to start the Ben Shepherd Home Page. I just read an article that says he hates Kiss. I could never understand why the rest of the guys like(d) Kiss. They seem to be the ultimate Butt Rock band. All image, no music. Wait, I take that back, AC/DC has them beat, but just barely. And, this was recently pondered: Half as Un-Soundgarden? It's my favorite Soundgarden song!!!!!!!!! It captures the whole spirit of the band and album. Sorry if it's SuperUnknown, but half rocks. Nothing else out there today sounds close to it. It's ancient, but modern. It reaches out, and pushes away. It's a moving contradiction. It's easily looked over, but sticks out like a sore thumb. It's not rock, It's not Pop, it's not Middle-Eastren Sitar Religo Music. It's soundgarden. By the way, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (me) has changed his name back to MAYOR McCHEESE (also me). The kid your mom won't let you play with because of the Christmas Play incident -Mayor McCheese All my words are alibis for what I do.

In response to this request: >I was wondering if anybody had the tab to Half and Mind Riot. These >are two really cool songs that i cannot find the tab for. >Any response would be greatly appricated. > >Tim Smith I dug through one of my friends guitar tab boxes, and I found tab for "Half." Anyways, If I have to type up the tab for it, (even though it so unfortunately short), i'll give myself carpel tunnel or something. If anyone wants tab for it, e-mail me or let me know in the list. I'll type the thing if there are enough requests, but if not, I can photocopy it and mail it to you if you send me enough to cover postage and photocopies (sorry, I have like NO money). - --Cornell (still no relation, DAMMIT) -What was that wierd thing that Shroomgirl said about Chris and Dave -Navarro kissing?? ------------------------------ From: Chris Mackenzie Subject: ASCAP Homepage The ASCAP homepage now has a searchable database. There was some cool info I found out: Christopher J. Cornell wrote a song called "Message" with the band "Flotsam and Jetsam", Jason Newsted's (Metallica) old band, though it doesn't look like Jason Newsted was in the band at this time. There is also something called "Singles Cues" credited to CC, I don't know if its a song or if its something to do with the "Singles" movie script. Ben Shepherd's real name is Hunter Benedict Shepherd. Hunter is his first name according to ASCAP.

On the other hand, you could be full of shit. I checked. You are. Try speaking for yourself. We don't all have to agree because we're all different people. Half is perhaps one of my favorite soundgarden songs. Not only because it sounds cool, but also because it is a hallmark of Soundgarden's variety. Half comes up so often because it is so unique. It's fine if you don't like the song, just don't try to speak for everyone and pass opinion off as fact. - Ben Ben Timberlake Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Northwestern University Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Medill School of Journalism DON'T TOUCH ME! btimlake@nwu.edu -30- "If I should be short on words and long on things to say, could you crawl into my world and take these words away?" - Chris Cornell, "Seasons" ------------------------------ From: jjevans@direct.ca (The Masochistic Minstrel) Subject: Re: ASCAP Homepage >Ben Shepherd's real name is Hunter Benedict Shepherd.
