Andy +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ =================================== SOUNDGARDEN MAN IN NEAR DEATH DRAMA =================================== Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil has admitted that his own life-and-death struggle has inspired one song on the band's forthcoming album. Speaking exclusively to K! from Seattle, Thayil revealed that the lyrics for 'Never the Machine Forever' were based on his own personal experiences. "I wrote the lyrics for it" he says. "it's about a life-and-death match between an individual and a less specifically defined entity. And, yes, it's based on personal experience." The enigmatic guitarist also revealed that the Seattle quartet's fifth studio album - which is due for a late May release - will see them experimenting still further with their sound. "Some songs are a little bit softer and more introspective than before, and there's a whole bunch of songs that are really fast." he explains. "There's less of the big thick guitar, mid-tempo slow grunge songs. In fact I don't think that there are any of those. And there's some weird things in there too - well, Ben Shepherd (Bass) has done a lot more writing than usual this time around." The as-yet-untitled album was recorded as Pearl Jam guitarists Stone Gossards' Studio Litho in Seattle. Among the tracks set to appear on the set are 'Never The Machine Forever', 'Hot Rod Death Toll', 'Boot Camp', 'Blow Up The Outside World' and 'Devil King Of Children'. "How weird have we gone?" ponders Thayil. "Well, it's weird for us rather than weird in the absolute sense - although maybe a couple of songs are strange. There's some mandolin on the record, and there's one song that's almost ambient. There's less of that Soundgarden stamp, but there's still a distinct Soundgarden sound. Basically everything's more vocal-orientated, less riffy, but still with plenty of heavy guitar everywhere." Soundgarden will release a new as-yet-unconfirmed single through A&M on May 6. A World tour is expected to follow the album. - ----------------------- Kerrang!, March 16 1996 ------------------------------ From: BTimLake@aol.com Subject: SOMMS ON T-SHIRT Hey guys this is Ben Timberlake (btimlake@nwu.edu) posting from home on spring break. My mail is being forwarded, so I'm keeping up with the list. I AM still tabulating votes for and , but I'm only counting those that come to me directly. Right now, I have the following votes: mercylib@erie.net (Mercyhurst Prep Library) ar303921@student.uq.edu.au zelux@owlnet.rice.edu (Justin Philip Zachariah) If you are not in this list, _please_ email me directly (at btimlake@nwu.edu) with your vote. Oh, and I hadn't thought of this before, but I guess your vote only counts if you're actually getting a shirt. Later. -Ben P.S. URBANO, I'll just continue this vote until your thing is set up. If your script takes this vote into account, I guess yours can take precedence since it's probably set up in a better manner. ------------------------------ From: Bryan Alan Blumklotz Subject: Re: hmmm.... Shroom, Gregg and Interested Parties>>> Having the read the alleged statements stating that Chris Cornell was letching women (girls?) at B-day party in LA I would counsel deep skepticism. First, you have someone (actually it could be anyone) making unsubstantiated statements about Chris. We do not know if he was in fact present at the party. If he was, were there a witnesses that could confirm or deny the statement made by SACNAC? It is useless to speculate as to the veracity of the source, we don't really know who she(?) is, whether she is straight up or just plain sick. My lawyer friends would call this heresy evidence and if proven false would open up SACNAC to a nice juicy libel suite. This is how really damaging rumors get started. There is no trial, no rules of evidence to protect either party. I can say anything about either person (Chris or SACNAC) and there would not be any need for proof... . However, at this time, to pass judgment on either party would be premature. UNLESS someone wants to really follow up on this and try and get to the "TRUTH", I say let this die... otherwise, we will fall into the trap of speculation, innuendo and plain mean spirited gossip like the news media we all love and hate.

Not that Chris's songs aren't good. It's just that I think that the best songs are when the whole band collaborates on a song together. "JCP", "Room a thousand years wide", "Slaves and bulldozers", "Mailman", "Fresh Tendrills" , "Limo Wreck" I think you guys get the point by now. I just think that if we get 16-18 songs worth of songs like those I will be one happy camper. Hmm... oh yeah mild question if music was a orgasm would it be the 6 minute jam session on reach down or am I just insane? Or would it be the middle part of Head Down where they all go nuts for a few measures. Or the end of Fresh tendrils. Sorry for the sex motif but with shroomster's constant "let's molest chris" machinations it was bound to happen.

You read my mind!! Oh man... the things that go through my twisted mind whenever I listen to that!! I think one of the sexiest things in the world are the faces that guitarists make when they're really getting into the music. It looks like they're having really really REALLY good sex. >Sorry for the sex motif but with shroomster's constant "let's > molest chris" machinations it was bound to happen. > Clown A thousand million apologies. I can't help it. I'm obsessed. But I'm definitely NOT the only pervert on this list. I've gotten tons of mail from people who feel exactly the same as me. And since it's been TWO years since SG's toured... well, I'm sure you can understand that I'm, ummm... musically frustrated. But to defend myself, SG was one of my favorite bands before I even knew what Chris looked like. The picture of him on LTL is not very clear. But once I saw him... ummm... the rest is, as they say, history. What can I say? When it comes to Chris, my middle name is Lecherous. SG perverts unite!!!

Now, not that i am upset at all about Shroom's (Hey that reminds me of..nevermind) obsession with Chris. I'm just upset about the way male's would be treated differently for the same kind of obsession. For instance, i find it funny how back in the good ole days discussions about Susan Silver's looks were quickly quieted. Also, say me and Clown said we were gonna go kidnap Tonya Donnelly and perform devious acts upon her luscious body. What would the female reaction to that be? Anyone? Well, i think i'll step off the soapbox now. Adios. -j "Damn right, i'm argumentative" -Kim Thayil aka Chicka Jackeen, A Livein Thesu (Per Unkn Own).

Anyone? >Well, i think i'll step off the soapbox now. Adios. -j Ok... fair enough. So men would get treated differently if they started discussing a woman's looks (but in all fairness, this IS the SG mailing list, and Chris is open to discussion). That's life, my friend. Both sexes have their drawbacks. Think about this, if you will: When you go to a concert during the summer, it's hot as hell. Guys get to run around half naked, and no one thinks twice about it (well, sometimes I think twice about it. It depends on the guy). But if a girl (like myself) wears something considered scanty (such as the bikini top I'm wearing in my picture on the page), then she's considered a groupie, or a slut. What about the comfort factor? Why doesn't anyone consider this? I know I'm sure as hell not going to wear a full size shirt in 90 degree weather. Of course, there I go being a hypocrite again. Like I said on my profile... dressing like a hootchie gets ya stuff. And yah, quite often it gets you backstage and on tour buses. I know most of you will scorn me for writing all this... but I am not a groupie. I'm a POTENTIAL SG groupie. But so are alot of women on this list. As we all know perfectly well, SG despises groupies. I suppose I'm the type of fan they hate, but as I said before... I loved the music before the flesh. SG is just an all around perfect band. And if they don't like it... TOUGH. This is the way I am. Obsessed and twisted. Ain't life grand? Shroom PS... Tonya Donnelly is ok... but I wouldn't do her. ***I made ya get down on your hands and knees... *** Chris Cornell ------------------------------ From: Jaime G GonzaleZ Subject: Re: SOMMS ON T-SHIRT At 03:00 PM 3/17/96 -0500, you wrote: >Hey guys this is Ben Timberlake (btimlake@nwu.edu) posting from home on >spring break.
