Re: SOUNDGARDEN song titles Alive in the Superunknown My $.02 Re: hi & first post ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Chris Mackenzie Subject: A&M Records Homepage A&M Records homepage is now up and running! There is only a blurb about Soundgarden but I'm sure there'll be alot more once the new album comes out. It has videos and interviews to download (none of SG at the moment). The site is at: http://www.amrecords.com/ ------------------------------ Subject: shirt designs From: seth Another shirt design was submitted tonight, which I've added to the ones available on the Web page. Please do submit more designs. Also, as URB@NO mentioned, he's writing a script so we can deal with the voting in an organized way, so stay tuned for that. I added a list of fonts that I have that we might be interested in using on the shirt. I only included 17 of the 600+ fonts I have, but they're what I consider to be the better-looking or more appropriate ones from my collection. This can all be found in the usual place, in the shirt section of the list Web page, at http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden/list/shirt/ seth ------------------------------ From: ShRooMGrLz@aol.com Subject: Landrew... Well, peoples... this isn't really SG related, but I just wanted to remind all of the Love children out there that today is the sixth anniversary of Andrew Wood's death. I hope all of you will take out a few moments today and remember this great man. So dig out all your Mother Love Bone and Malfunkshun albums, and enjoy the love rock he created. Don't let Andy be forgotten...

It took me a couple of hours to write essentially 3 lines of code, but I accomplished what I set out to accomplish (kind of). Announcing...THE LOLLAPALOOZA 1996 FRIEND-FINDER! Going to Lolla this summer? Want to meet up with some list members at the show? Just want to find out how many people you can expect to see wearing "Posting With My Good Eye Closed" shirts? Then get your butt over to http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden/list/lolla/ and enter your name and email address in the form, choose a show, and click the "submit" button. You will be added to a list of people who are going to the show, and the list will be available to everyone so you can contact other list members and make plans to meet. Hope this is useful, and if there are problems, let me know. There is also a link to this from the Member Directory. seth ------------------------------ From: Gregory Wawro Subject: cornell t-shirts Since there is all this talk about shirts... I've always wanted to give Chris Cornell a Cornell University t-shirt. Does anybody where I could send it so that I'd be sure he'd get it? Anybody else interested in a Cornell shirt?

From: daveste Damn! A lot of replies! Ok people, I realize my first post wasn't as accurately written as a I meant it to be....So...You gotta understand where I'm coming from. I listen to bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Ozzy, White Zombie ect. Soundgarden IS my favorite band, but they're about as soft as I go. I always thought of them as the band that bridges the gap between metal and mainstream alternative. And it seems like mainstream music has been getting softer, and softer and softer....Know what I mean? I was disapointed at the turn pumpkins took with Mellon Collie. A lot of you seem to like Kyle Petty. Its all based on opinion, and Im not one to argue this...so we'll see how good the next album is...But I think we can all agree that SOUNDGARDEN KICKS ASS. later daveste@execpc.com http://execpc.com/~daveste/hack.html ------------------------------ From: Caryn Rose Subject: hi & first post well, i finally unsubbed to a few mailing lists so i could finally sub to this list. i didn't do it before because i was told you guys like to talk a lot. ;) obviously, like everyone else i'm psyched about the album, and even more psyched that the last lolla date is within driving distance for me. ;-) i've been watching some vids of the last dates of some old lolla tours and they're pretty intense -- all th bands coming onstage to play together, etc. chris' mom was on the radio here in seattle on thursday -- she's a professional psychic (which i assume most of you k now) and came on to do a reading for Rob Zombie, of all people. she sounded cool. why they called her i don't know -- it's not like they do this on a regular basis or something... and as a new member, i'm not going to presume to have any input into the list shirts. but, i did coordinate tshirts for another band mailing list with over 300+ members last year, so here's some advice: whoever is in charge, then just be in charge. get a consensus and do it. there will ALWAYS be people who don't like it or aren't happy or come into the discussion at the last minute and expect you to change everything around. if you wait to get 100% consensus (which will never happen), the tour will be over before the shirts are done.... anyway, nice to be here peace - --caryn ------------------------------ From: Cornell Subject: Re: I say we work on the layout and get them things printed up.

I'd never heard that before. Chris' mom is a psychic? Wow... I wonder if she knew that Chris was going to make it so big. I wonder what she saw in Rob Zombie's future. I wonder if she knows that Foreshocks and I are going to kidnap her son this summer and perform devious acts upon his luscious body. Hmmm...

Here's what i think.... Situation a)the girl's mistaken b)the girl is lying c)the girl is telling the truth if the answer is c, then C.C. is a stright up asshole. If any one i knew did that, i would think that they were an asshole, and Cornell should be no exception because he happens to be the lead singer of Soundgarden. It pisses me off that he could do something like that, especially when he is a married man.

I'd like to talk about drumming with someone who knows what their doing. The best drumming instructor in my town (Toms River, NJ) left five years ago. and if you don't wanna talk about drumming, talk to me about something else. like snowboarding or something. Later.

Everything works fine for me except the Audio Player section which keeps giving me a "script error" message. I can get either just audio, or the opening screen with the names of the songs going around the disc and the error message. Any input? Thanks Kathie ------------------------------ From: foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com Subject: My $.02 I just heard Weird Al's rendition of Black Hole Sun, and thought it was pretty cool, although I was hoping he'd do the whole song, it's just a medley of songs that he incorporates into this big huge polka song, with lyrics from anything from Closer by Nine Inch Nails to Loser by Beck, You Otter Know by Alanis Morissette to Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, from Bang And Blame by REM to Bullet With Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins. Weird Al's tape does have a Lump parody (Gump.. hehe) in its entirety though which is cool. The polka is a bunch of lyrics from popular songs all sung to a polka beat, or something. What I mean to say is..... oh, I give up. I'm going to bed. foreshocks .......Hehe, I looked at that Ultra Mega stuff tonight again too. The sign said "Health Insurance In A Bottle." I sure could use that. ------------------------------ From: jsharp@nwlink.com (fisto) Subject: Re: hi & first post > >well, i finally unsubbed to a few mailing lists so i could finally sub to >this list. i didn't do it before because i was told you guys like to >talk a lot. ;) > >obviously, like everyone else i'm psyched about the album, and even more >psyched that the last lolla date is within driving distance for me. ;-) >i've been watching some vids of the last dates of some old lolla tours >and they're pretty intense -- all th bands coming onstage to play >together, etc. > >chris' mom was on the radio here in seattle on thursday -- she's a >professional psychic (which i assume most of you k now) and came on to do >a reading for Rob Zombie, of all people. she sounded cool. why they >called her i don't know -- it's not like they do this on a regular basis >or something... Yeah, I heard that. Some people from this unexplained phenomonon (did I spell that right) are trying to get her to come to our school because she gave her number out on the air. She's a numerologist (how do you type fake exclamation marks, because if I type a period it will make me sound very serious, but if I type an exclamation mark it will make me sound very excited, which wouldn't be that true because I don't normally get excited about someone being a numerologist, unless I become a numerologist, which I would be pretty excited about, but I doubt other people would be). That is all. fisto!
