Does anybody know where I can get a hold of Soundgarden's cover "Into the Void" by Black Sabbath, besides on the SOMMS disk?

But in the beginning it was said that the soup was not permitted because of copyright infringements. NOT TRUE. In my early research, I found you can use the images of products you simply need to change the fonts and other small features. You can also call the company and tell them you would like to use it (in good taste - another bad joke) and 9 times out of 10 they will give you permission. They see it as an endorsement of their products. The Graphic Designer I was working with, also thought the soup was a good idea.. Only problem is the number of colors would have made the cost go up..

(btw, two color choices are bad because ppl forget and only look for one of the colors)... 3) is-it-or-isnt-it: who knows. ;) and ya know, even if i did go ask matt when i go to see hater this weekend and i posted what his answer was would you believe me anyway? ;-) no matter what there will be people who will believe it is him and who won't believe it is him. or will be in the middle. 4) snl and selling out: well, when you can't fucking tour because ticketmaster has a monopoly on every viable venue in the country (btw, am i the only one who noticed that quite a few of the lolla dates were at venues that were NOT exclusively TM? hmmmm?) why not appear on a show that is broadcast all over the country and the world so your fans can see you? pj made a decision about tm and are sticking to it, which i think is about as far from selling out as you can get. but then again, i was warned of the idle pj bashing that takes place on this list. whatever. i respect their reasons for doing snl as much as i respect sg's reasons for *not* doing it. althought i think they could still do it their way and have fun and let us get a look -- it has been quite a while, hasn't it? they aren't comfortable so they shouldn't. - --caryn ------------------------------ From: MAYOR McCHEESE Subject: You are cordially invited . . .

ONE) letter from a person suggesting I cut back on the CC fantasies. You know... if some of y'all are having a problem with my letters, you might look at some of the "offensive" posts and notice that I have my very own e-mail address. Wow!!! Revelations!!

I agree that I most definitely do not speak for all of you!! And regarding the sexist aspect of it, personally I would have no problem with the men discussing women on the list. But, as there are no women in SG (wow, thanks for that newsflash Shroom), there is going to be little harassment of them. Truetruetrue... Chris is one the most talented people I've ever seen... and I respect him for that... but what can I say? I think the man is gorgeous! And... call me insane... but I get tired of reading what is essentially the same posts... over and over again. I sometimes find the list rather dry. Of course... you could argue that my posts are beginning to become rather repetitive. Point well taken, Shroom. But never fear... I can come up with tons of new ways to amuse and offend some of y'all. And it will all concern Soundgarden. =) >My opinion, too. We ARE individuals.

I know what you mean, too. At least I think I know what you mean. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Hello people... meet Shroom, the individual. My opinions are obviously VASTLY different from some of yours, and if you don't care to read my posts... let me clue you in on something. There is this really nifty little feature that comes equipped with your e-mail software... it's called DELETE. If you find me overly offensive, just get rid of my mail before you even read it. Surely you can distinguish my e-mail from the others. See how easy that was? So... I've outlined two ways to help control the terrible hell-bound Shroom 1- send me a note expaining why you despise me. Perhaps we can work something out. I'm not trying to make enemies. I'm just having fun meeting other SG freaks; and I'm making some really groovy pen-pals/friends!! 2- Delete my mail. Have I covered everything? Yah... I know this letter isn't exactly polite, and it's certainly not very apologetic. But I never was one for conforming or ass-kissing anyway. Ok... I should apologize at least once to all the people I've offended. So to the ones who think I'm out of line, I'm sorry for causing you any undue stress in your lives. I don't expect that many of the offended will accept my apology, but again... that's your prerogative. =) I'm certain to get publicly flamed for this letter, but if some of you are too shy to post anything to the list, feel free to send your scathing hate mail directly to me!!

Ok, this is SG-related in a very distant way, but as a reaction to Shroom's comments... I don't think all bands let in loose-looking chicks just cause they want some. I know that I personally wouldn't go for the "slut"/groupie kind of woman, no matter how big my band became. Maybe it's just my personal opinion.

For more good news, Soundgarden WILL be appearing on this year's Lollapalooza tour beginning in late June. Thanks for writing KOTS _______________________________________________________________________________ I wrote to the fan club asking something (dont remember what), and I got this in response. Don't remember if it answers my original question, but I was reading on the page something to the effect that 95% of Seth's sources say the album will be released May 21st, but the rest of his sources (reliable ones) say A&M has not set a release date, since this is coming from sgkots i'm pretty sure it's accurate. foreshocks ------------------------------ From: John Patrick Freeman Subject: like stuff Hi, new to group. First of all, whats with all the sex talk and drolling over Chris Cornell. The real sex symbol of the group is obivously Ben Shepherd. Ben rules. When I saw Soundgarden at Wings Stadium, Ben was hilarious. He kept gesturing to a female in the front roll to take off her top. Whoever said Soundgarden didnt like groupies? As being new to the group, I dont know this has been addressed but on my bootleg copy of Stolen Prayers. This song just stops in mid sentence and all at little after the five minuite mark. Is this the same with most versions of the song? Anyway, I like the demo version of Spoonman a tons more than the album one but thats just my opinion.

But come on, Chris is about the sexiest musician out there, partly because he doesn't flaunt the part. (Of course my hubby would disagree because he thinks Chris only takes his shirt off in concert to turn the babes on. I must admit, I'd be disappointed if he didn't, but the bands sound and especially Cornell's lyrics are what hooked me into the band. I'll never forget waking up from drowsing on my couch watching Headbangers Ball (remember that show?) and seeing the video for Loud Love. I was mesmerized - it was the first time I saw or heard them. And it was the first time in ages I'd seen anything good on Headbangers Ball (I believe this was in 1989 or so). So, anyway, just because you're hot for someone doesn't mean you can't like them for other reasons too. I also think Chris is a really together person and is very "real" unlike alot of other "rock stars".

It is an IRC type program with voice capability as well, only it runs directly from IP tp IP (much like Kali, if anyone is familiar with that). It is organized through chat "tribes". Anyways, it looked pretty cool and started thinking that SOMMS should start a chat tribe. You may want to check it out at: http://www.tribal.com/ I think we should do this. I think most people who check this out will agree. I downloaded the software and it is really easy to use.

Maybe it's just my personal opinion. I believe I was also referring to how women are judged to be "sluts" when they dress "scantily" in the hot weather; while men can run around half naked, and it isn't given a second thought. But yah, I guess being a "slut"/groupie kind of woman has it's advantages. Ok... so I'm still a hypocrite. Calm down people. Listen, if someone in a band invites you onto their tour bus to drink beer and smoke weed, you don't say no. Especially if it's a band you like. But even if you don't like the band, why turn down free beer and weed? Yah, I know there's going to be at least one person out there (probably more) who's going to say "I don't drink beer or smoke weed, so I wouldn't get on the bus". Fine, have it your way. Wait outside where it's hot, and suffer. And no, not all bands let in loose-looking women because they (as it was so eloquently put) "want some". Some are very nice and decent guys who understand that when it's 90 degrees in the shade, the vast majority of their female fans aren't going to be running around in a nun's habit.
