He makes tons of shirts for all the businesses here, and I have a friend who worked there, and he made some shirts too, and he made some for himself, and they are pretty good quality. So the shirts won't be generic, but don't expect Official Soundgarden shirt quality, because I doubt anyone does that. Unfortunately, the guy only does shirts in black, white, and tan (which is more of an off-white/natural color). I doubt the design would show up on a black shirt, so I guess it's either white, tan, or some more ideas. And the addresses have been coming in like crazy, keep 'em comin'. If you want more info on theat guy who makes shirts, tell me, and I'll find out whatever you wanna know.

He was really wacky, but i HAD to go, even though i rather dislike the SG song about him...it was a victim of overplay back home in SoCal...and NO, he did not play the song, but he did do a lot of weird drug-inspired poetry and a few long solos... and for Lolla...where can i find the dates, particularly for (anywhere in) California? I am assuming that it will play the Bay Area and LA and San Diego, but i don't really want to be sitting in the mud either, so i want to buy my tix ASAP... and for Pearl Jammers: anyone know where i can find a boot of the 4/3/94 show? my dubbed version is really on it's last legs... thanks dan danno@wood.net ------------------------------ From: Mohit Krishan Bawa Subject: Soundgarden/Ghoul Isn't it cool that Soundgarden will be doing Lollapalooza this year? In limited venues, it appears that Ghoul wants to play the second stage. Their already-planned summer tour may conflict with some of the Lollapalooza dates which is why they can't play all of them. Ghoul will tour to promote their forthcoming release tentatively titled, "MCS Baggue etc." Their Damned cover of "Neat, Neat, Neat" is supposed to be on it. Other premature tracks include a re-make of "Bucket of Xiao," one of their biggest songs. This verson is a little slower but contains a rare extended solo by guitarist Green Luther. Spike Brecht of D.R.I. sings guest vocals on a song called "Remember Tomorrow," a song dedicated to their original drummmer, Ric Reyes, who died of a drug overdose. Ghoul should finally break into big time with this release. All of their stuff is excellent but this should have a more loud, raw, and hard edge to it. ------------------------------ From: Geoff Subject: Re: Reading Video > Everyone's all jazzed about Lolla, and I think it's great, but I don't > think I'm going to drive 4-6 hours just to see Sg do a 45 minute set. > I'm waiting for the Sg headline tour that they are to be doing after > they play in Europe, or at least that was the plan I heard.

From: seth I went to my favorite local record shop today in search of goodies, and was rewarded when I saw that they had a copy of BMF/SOMMS on the shelf for $25 (it's not that I really need more copies of it, but I can never pass one up when I see one). Anyway, I opened it up to make sure both discs were there, and that they were in good condition. They were beautiful. It looked as though it had never been touched, dumped straight out of the longbox and onto these shelves. But then I realized that I had almost been tricked; the BMF disc was a plain old BMF disc, not the one that's supposed to come with SOMMS. There was no "DISC I" printed on it, and the catalog number matched that found on the case of a single-disc BMF. I brought it up to the guy who was working the cash register and explained the problem. Several times, before he realized that I wasn't kidding. I told him I would not pay $25 because it wasn't an original. He said, "Would you pay $25 for the original?" Of course I would. He went to the back and produced *another* copy of BMF/SOMMS, this one in mint condition with the correct discs. That makes 3 copies of SOMMS that I've seen there in the past several months. I don't know what he plans to do with the SOMMS disc that doesn't have the correct partner, but I assume he will either 1) put it back on the shelf with the BMF disc and wait for an unsuspecting, non-mailing- list-educated customer to pay $25 for it or 2) sell the SOMMS disc by itself for much less. Either way, there is a SOMMS disc in that store, and should you happen to live in the Boston/Cambridge area, go to Second Coming Records on Mass. Ave., before you get to Harvard Square, and demand that they produce the goods. seth ------------------------------ From: LITTLE JOE Subject: yes the shirt again I think we definetly have to have somms@mit.edu on the shirt.

Okay, I guess you two guys haven't been on this list all that long - this was talked about before Christmas. The Presidents album has 13 songs on it, the 13th being "Naked and Famous" which has Kim Thayil playing guitar. Kim is mentioned in the CD cover's credits for the songs. "Naked and Famous" is just as fun and loopy as the rest of the songs by POTUSA (not forgetting that great song about me called "Carolyn's Bootie" which can be found on the "Lump" single), but even better (imho) because it has the great guitar noodles by our Kim..........

I am probably CA>like the majority on this list who really don't mind what exactly we end up CA>with, as long as it has Somms (list?/address?) on it somewhere, "Posting CA>With Our Good Eye Closed" on it somewhere, and a picture of a twisted fork CA>on it somewhere. Can we perhaps have 2 or 3 variations of those ideas on CA>the web page that those interested can vote upon? Ideas on the web page CA>mean exactly how the front of the shirt will look, and exactly how the back CA>of the shirt will look. Some people want the whole address on the shirt. I think that just SOMMS would be better. Someone said they like the mystery of it, and it's a good conversation starter. I agree totally. And having just SOMMS where a pocket would be would probably less money. I dunno, though. But I like just the SOMMS on the front. CA>Okay. Below is the final list I have. Please, everyone on that list, do as CA>NM suggestes and post him (at address rc@gcc.cc.md.us) with just your email CA>address (copied from my list below) and your full name and postal address. CA>Call your message T-SHIRT ORDER so he can easily identify which messages CA>contain this info he wants. Only those who email NM with that info will be CA>counted!! NM, maybe you should give a deadline as to when this info must CA>sent to you by. How about really soon. Like NOW! What day is it? Ummm...it's the 13th here, right now, so send them to me by the 20. That gives you people a week. We can decide on a design by then, and get the money sent to me so I can get these things ordered. CA>Carolyn the Most Foolish I think I qualify more for this one. Nothingman the Most Foolishest CA>rc@gcc.cc.md.us (Nothingman) - XL -Hi. I want a sirt and stuff. :) ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: SG better not "conform"... DA>Im so sick of good bands "evolving" into today's alternative soft shit... DA>Pearl Jam WAS good with Ten, but what happened?? They got too soft.. Ten wasn't too heavy. I mean, there was Porch, and Why Go, and Deep, and Once, and a few others, but then again, there was Black (a GREAT song, but soft), Release, and Garden. Vitology has some heavier songs on it, like Last Exit, Spin the Black Circle, Whipping, and Satan's Bed. And then there are the softer (but great anyway) songs, like Immortality (Freakin' awesome), Nothingman (not bad ;), and Betterman. And I love Not For You and Tremor Christ, although I have no clue what TC is about. Anyone have a clue? DA>heard Metallica cut their hair to look like a grunge band now, I bet DA>they'll start to soften up too.... They probably just cut their hair, and some tabliod said it was to look more "grunge." So what they cut their hair. That doesn't mean they'll be any worse, although if they're trying to conform and be cool like Chris... DA>Smashing Pumpkins had a good thing DA>going with Siamese Dream; now all I hear is that lame ass '1979" song on DA>the radio, its pathetic, and Zero isn't too hot neither. That 1979 song reminds me of older music. I loved Siamese Dream, but I don't like these past couple songs they've released. DA>I don't like DA>that "Kyle Petty" song by SG too much, I hope that they don't conform DA>like all the other wusses that used to be good, and go changing that DA>style on us...WEll, with a new album, we shall see.... I hope you weren't trying to say this is a soft song. It's just as heavy as the other stuff, and Chris' distorted vocals give it an even heavier effect. I doubt they're gonna be wusses. No, not someone with a fork. They aren't allowed to be wusses. Nothingman -And then there's "Testosterone" Kim. ------------------------------ From: URBANO Subject: IL Soundgarden Want to read an article in Italian about Soundgarden?
