See how easy that was? we've all seen this argument before: 'if you don't like what I talk about, then just use the d button'. this is a dumb solution to a annoying problem. it is true that this is a soundgarden list. but it was designed with the intention of discussing soundgarden *music*. I'm sure seth didn't envision a stupid and too-long thread developing over what chris cornell might sound like when he's doin' the deed when he decided to create this list. if you were truly interested in soundgarden shroomgirl, then you might start talking about them as a *band*, and not as chris the sexual entity. try talking about what songs you like instead of dreaming about dave navarro tongue kissing chris. I don't want to start a flame war on the list, but be sure that most of us are more interested in soundgarden's music than their collective butt. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: LITTLE JOE Subject: corralled like a cat... Not wanting to create some sort of elite south of the equator society here, but I'm going to have to back Carolyn up on this one. Schroom you sure did give it to her on the list. I think most of us just laughed it off when we saw the original post about Chris and Dave Navarro , but when it turned into chris the sex god/ sex noises/etc.../etc.., it gets a bit beyond the joke. It's not a matter of just pressing the old 'd' button and being finished with it, but the fact remains that we are here to talk Soundgarden the band, not Soundgarden the live sex show. If you really liked the music before you liked the *bodies*, why don't you put some real input into this group? As it is it seems you really are posting with your good eye closed. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: BTimLake@aol.com dy. First of all, this SOMMS/@mit.edu vote is coming along smoothly, but let's set a final date for voting for Friday March the 22 at around 9 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time. (since that's around the time I check my mail) Within 24 hours after that, I'll post the final results to the list. In other news . . . I went to the local kick-ass bootleg/futon/bong shop the other day and checked out all the SG boots they had. I almost had to be carried out on a stretcher. For every SG ROIO I couldn't afford, there were about ten pink floyds I also wanted. One of the coolest SG ones they had, had Chris covering a few Ozzy tunes (with that weird double-voice, metallic thing Ozzy does), some Superunknown demos and a couple live songs. I swear, if my finances ever get back into black ink, I'm going straight to Seventh Heaven to spend myself silly. Also, I finally finished reading that Soundgarden book. It mentioned that Sara DeBell made a CD called _Grunge Lite_. She covered several Seattle bands' songs as easy listening tunes. Among them Rusty Cage and Hunger Strike. Finally, the most incredible thing I learned, at which I almost needed that stretcher again, was that when SG played in Dallas on the last tour, they played Mind Riot ACOUSTIC! Ever Since I have been a fan, this is what I have dreamed about! If ANYONE has even an awful copy of this one song, PLEASE let me know! Anyway, if this f#$king AOL browser will finally work, I'm gonna go check out the new stuff on the web page.

As the thread gets even less SG related I will add my bit :) It also works the other way...knowing Fiona Horne from DEF FX (Aust. band) She definatly gets clear of any male groupies that try to win on, ask her out, get back stage etc etc. But if you are just a fan and nice to her, she is very cool :) And I agree about the slut/groupie type... it just don't work cause after all is said whoever you wanted to meet just thinks you are a groupie/loose chick and thinks nothing of you.... I mean whats the point, it may get you somewhere, but not much further.

From: jsimpson@mail03.mitre.org (Jamesetta Simpson) >>If it weren't for us individuals, this list would be nothing. How dare anyone say this. The individuals that made this list never had to talk trash. The gave us good input. We had long talks about the meaning of songs. Our favorite songs. Encounters with bands (never sexual). And believe it or not a few times we even said just how great the guys look, but that was it.. The list has been here for almost a year now and damn we are here not because of individuals who wanted to talk only trash. By the way, there are over 400 individuals on this list, each and everyone one makes this list something very special. It has never been and never will be "NOTHING". I have listen to this sexual line of talk for several weeks now. I kept hoping against hope that it would just die. But no such luck. I have not post on it for a personal reason. But I won't stand by any longer and watch something that is so good be made to look bad, because a few people can't control themselves. Look, I agree whole heartily with Carolyn and Toni. I think Chris is one fine looking man, so is Ben, Kim and Matt. And I'm not afraid to say they are great "Eye Candy". But damn, I'm sick of hearing about some girl who may have kissed him, or that he is married to Ben. OR someone's fantasy and obsession...... This is a mailing list for SG music, not someone's sex life. If you want to talk about that go out off line. I've been a member of this mailing list since day one - I became a member to talk music, tour dates, share with other fans the good feelings this group gives me when I hear their music. I have met great people and hope I have started life time friendships with a few. In a few more weeks we will have a new CD and we will have Lolla experiences to share. So PLEASE, lets get back to the good threads that has made SOMMS the number one mailing list on the Internet...

I belive "Say hello to heaven" is one of CC's best songs ever. The whole album is really good not a bad song in my belives. On Reach Down there is a long guitar-solo and I was thinking to my self is it Mike and Stone that plays together or is it just Mike playing over himself on the CD? Did anyone on this list see them(TOTD) live? If so how did they play it(the solo) live? I have gone mad about the sound(in the solo) that sounds like the world is falling apart. I've also heard Eddie van Halen make this sound and I'm really puzzled. How do they do it? If you don't know what sound I mean dig deep down in your CD collection and pick up TOTD put on song nr 2 and wait for 07:35. There it is, it's not long but it's there. If any of you know how to produce this sound PLEASE tell me. If you don't kown just sit back and enjoy the _huge_ sounds and Chris vox. - -Erik PS.

First my non-SG matter: Does anyone work or know someone that works in downtown Seattle? I need some information about the Wallingford Business District. I know that it's downtown. Somewhere near the University district? At least thats what the classifieds from the _Seattle Times_ seem to say. I'm specifically looking for someone to check the Seattle business directory (phone book) to get me some information. Any other info is a bonus :-) SG: Everyone should rush out and buy the _Home Alive_ compilation! It's extremely well put together! Even if you have the SG song (Kyle Petty), Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd are the rhythm section to a great song by Kristen Barry called "Joyride". Good stuff! Also, the sound of the disk is incredible. The recording facilities in Seattle are definitely world class! IMHO, the best song on the compilation is a cover song by Pearl Jam. "Leaving Here". A Holland-Dozier-Holland classic. It's a great travelling song. It also goes well with a couple Samual Adams while lounging on a beach :-) It's got that surf feel to it. The spoken word sections of the disk 'could' offend some people. It's pretty graphic in it's details. But there is a "People Advisory Sticker" on the front that sums up (rather well) why they did it. You can get detailed information about the whole Home Alive movement by accessing: http://www.sony.com/Music/HomeAlive or at http://www.homealive.org BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT! :-) especially if it's only $14 bucks (2CD's) at a discount electronics store. :-) back to the beach, um, i mean snowdrift, Steve - - swr@acsu.buffalo.edu - - http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~swr - - SG Web Alliance ------------------------------ From: ansel@morgan.com Subject: E-mail 120 Minutes (Reminder) Please e-mail MTV's 120 Minutes at minutes120@aol.com to request SG's extremely rare video for 'Flower'. If you have this video (or have ever seen it), let the list know. We (all 400 SOMMS listmembers) need to inundate the 120 Minutes mailbox with requests for rare SG clips. Even those of you that don't get MTV should participate. Those of you in Canada can also try e-mailing Much Music since they were so liberal as to play the 'JCP' video, maybe they are innovative enough to get a hold of 'Flower'. Also, 120 Minutes is celebrating their 10th anniversary this month, culminating the weekend of March 30/31 with a look-back edition hosted by the Chili Peppers (Sat.2pm EST).

If a band becomes popular, then they've "sold out." They're just doing what they've always done, they can't help it if their new album is better than their last album...that's how groups usually progress. Even though UltraOK and LtL were cool albums, they were by no means the best albums that SG wrote. BMF and SuperUnknown were, which would explain why those two albums sold better. The only time anyone really sells out is if they do a total 180. Like if SG suddenly sounded like Yanni. Anyway, I wish for the day when some punk-asses call me a sellout. Then I'd remind them that I had enough money to secure my future by playing the music that I love. Motherfukers. Gregg - --was that over the top?

If guys can walk around with no shirts on and shorts the girls can walk around in halter tops and shorts to. Seriously, saying that a girls dressed like that is loose is like saying that a guy with out his shirt on at a belly concert is offering sexual favors to Tonya Donnely.

My thoughts on the t-shirt: 1. If we're going to put "Posting with my/our good eye closed" It should be "my good eye" not "our good eye" As someone, I think Geoff, pointed out, we cannot collectively have one big eye. Although that might be an interesting starting point for a song, book, etc. What would we see with our one big eye? But I digress. Personally, I thought the quote from Kim was better-"Damn right I'm argumentative." But if everyone wants the one about posting,who am I to say no? 2. Color-natural is definitely a good idea. It's not the ordinary boring white, but it's light enough to let what we put on it show up. ------------------------------ From: Geoff Subject: Don't try this at home Hey, I'm on a posting rampage. Look out! Ok, so I'm sure you've all listened to 4th of July a thousand (million) times by now, but has anyone here been so inspired by the song that they went out and lit roman candles and held them in their hands? I have been known to do this occasionally in the summer. Now, I'm not recommending people go out and try this, since there is a warning which recommends NOT holding it in your hand, but it is something to do on a Saturday night. But whatever you do don't look at it while it's going off, since they have been known to backfire.

Ok, there's no doubt that Ty Cobb is a cool name, but how can you go from Hot Rod Death Toll to Ty Cobb? I think they should have made a NEW song named Ty Cobb. Seth? Tell Matt to change it. ;) Incidentally, the poor dub I have of Ty Cobb, does at least reveal that it is a cool song. The lyrics are too muddled to make out though. >>>-------------------------------> Geoff Kleemola gkleemol@io.uwinnipeg.ca U of Winnipeg Psychology student http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~gkleemol <-------------------------------<<< On Wed, 20 Mar 1996 ansel@morgan.com wrote: > True, Hot Rod Death Toll is a seriously cool title, but I > changing the name to accommodate an inside joke or offhanded > comment is typical to SG's offbeat sense of humor.

Christie? from what we have heard, it doesn't look like christie is going to be on the new record. and ty cobb is probably also out, what with the chorus of 'I'm hard headed, fuck you all'. but I did hear from a record store here in brisbane that the first single will be pretty noose. I showed the track listing to on of the counter staff at our beloved skinnys music store, and the girl behind the counter with the soundgarden tattoo said that pretty noose was the one. as for snl, my guess is that they will play two songs from the new album, probably the first single and something else that they want to roadtest. btw, I'm not sure that the title of the new one is as good as badmotorfinger or superunknown. but it'll grow on me :) ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Christopher Pres Subject: NEW ALBUM'S NAME!!!!!! It's official, the title of the new Soundgarden album is going to be "Down on the Upside". I think that's pretty fuckin' cool! It sounds more like a title of a song rather than an album title but that is classic SG. And SG will be performing on Saturday Night Live on May 18 with the guest host being Jim Carey. That is so cool! These guys RULE!!! Chris ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: like somebody's best friend died...

Also, the sound of the disk is > incredible. The recording facilities in Seattle are definitely world class! good news steve :) I'm happy to hear that matt and ben have done some more stuff by themselves (I'm smitten with the hater record at the moment). does ben play both bass and guitar, or is there someone else on there? it probably sounds a long way from vintage hater though, I imagine? as for the great sound quality of seattle and it's recording studios, I read some ugly news the other day. bad animals studio in seattle is supposedly closing down, or at least cutting back their studio space gradually in an effort to close. this means that a heck of a lot of seattle music history may/will go under the dozer, as along with soundgarden bands like nirvana and pearl jam have also recorded there (I think). I have a feeling that the majority, if not all, of superunknown was recorded there. it's kinda sad. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: j_crocke@unity.ncsu.edu Subject: SNL she likes surprises personally, I would like to see the boys play "she likes surprises"... I don't think they've ever played it live and they would definetly get good sound because of the broadcast... or, "She's a Politician".... course, i can see Chris do any one of his acoustic numbers, "Mind Riot", "Seasons", or "Like Suicide"... to me, that would kick the ass of any other band thats ever been on SNL. yeah, i know that they'll play the new single too, chill Album Name: "Down on the upside".. I love it.. it has that philsophical ring that only Soundgarden could bring to an album name.

Hi Shroom, I'm Kate. I don't believe we've met. Before you got here, I introduced the term "soundganja". From the trailer you have on your posts, it appears you are a partaker also. I'm telling you this for a purpose: the people who might have a problem with your hormonal homage to cornell aren't necessarily all "conservative" (your word). Some of us just don't seem to be as easily impressed with rock stars as you are. If someone from a "rock band" (even one I liked as much as I lik soundgarden), invited me onto their bus to party, I probably wouldn't do it. I HATE being looked at like a groupie, and I speak from experience... having met several highly visible bands... If someone invites you to their bus, especially if you're all hootchied up, they think of you like a groupie and they expect you to be very impressed with everything they say. They are GUYS. Talented guys. (sigh) rich guys. But, they are guys. You KNOW what they sound like when they fuck (sorry squeamish readers), because you've heard it before. HOWEVER, if they ask you for your number, and call you in LIttle Podunk, Kansas, while they are on tour in Los Angeles, then MAYBE they actually want to know you. Other than that, they can get it from anyone. Who really wants that? And is that the story you really want to impress people with? For example, I know one chick who used to brag that she fucked Too Short. WHY?? I would have been more impressed to hear that she met him and they went bowling. Am I making sense? I'm sure you'll blow me off as some schoolgirl... but hold up. I find Cornell equally as fine and attractive as any other hetero female with hearing and sight. But I wouldn't fuck him because I don't know him. And, girl, your perversity is mild and mildly amusing. Talk about what you want. The people around you will tire of it before you probably will. eventually you'll find someone else to like. Just something for you to think about. Sorry I got all preachy... I just read the digests in huge lumps and certain topics just play themselves out really fast. See you at the concerts... good luck with the bands.

Calm down people... I don't want any of you to drop dead from shock or anything. Well, not most of you anyway. ;) This post makes absolutely no mention of what's-his-name. I want to know the lyrics to a certain part of "Seasons", written by that guy I'm not going to talk about. Someone used to end their posts with part of the song, but I remember looking at it and thinking he was wrong about the lyrics. Here's what he had: "If I could be sure of the words there are more things to say would you crawl into my world and take these words away?" and here's what I think it is: "If I should be short on words and long on things to say, could you crawl into my world and take me worlds away" Which is it? Neither? Both? Yah, I know... this post sucks. Forgive me, 'kay? I haven't heard any juicy gossip today.

I have just about every studio recorded song by Soundgarden (expections are Blind Dogs... I like the Self Pollution version more anyway, the demos from Ultramega OK and what are known as the 'Peel Sessions'.... hm... remind me to address that later.) but I have none of their videos on tape. I can order Louder Than Live (just never gotten around to it) and get the 2 (I think) vids off of that... but it all comes down to this: we, as a society of megahuge-Soundgarden fans, cannot get copies of their videos. Isn't this sorta dumb? We could mass mail eMTpyV and beg them to air Flower (as we have to no avail), JCP (I bet they will now... ever seen half of the scary crap on there now?), etc but that seems a) impossible b) unrealistic & c) -add your reason/s-. We need somehow to get a vid available... I'm not sure if sgkots would offer anything like this... but imagine this: they must have all the vids somewhere... tapes cost about oh... what $1.00 American, and they're designed to aid fans as fans. I'd freakin' pay $30 for all 10-12 vids they've made! (OK... I'm getting light-head, dizzy & upset.) Now if any of you wonderful people out there have any ideas on how to help organize my little idea feel free to speak out... either to the list or me personally. I feel this is a worthy cause... definately something worth fighting for. Wow...

Hello This is sloth again with today's poetry, For Mayor McCheese who didn't like the last one, Just because it wasn't about soundgarden, here is another one about SOUNDGARDEN. SOUND> noise reverberates off the walls, The shrill voice is drowned out, by incessant feedback. Every band starts somewhere. With a name like noise and plants combined, How could this Seattle band be found? With dreams in their lives And hearts aflame with musical hopes. Then one day they struck a deal, Subpop records filled the hole. Thier album went well unknown, But for now they at least had thier music. Next a man from A&M heard them play, He thought they were great. He signed them up with a deal, to make albums for real. The band began to record thier songs, Played guitars and smoked thier bongs. Thier first A&M album sold a little more, than thier last attempt. Not enough to please the band, They set off to tour the land. They generated revenue, and made many people fans. Their second album went huge, All the waiting paid off, Badmotorfinger was it's name, And it was dubbed a fortune. With the band at it's peak, They decided to break from the underground, Into the SUPERUNKNOWN. With hits like Limo and Black hole Sun How could they go wrong. This is the band I'll always love, Untill the downfall of thier reign. I'll stand by these men, These men of SOUNDGARDEN, Untill the world ends THANK YOU PEOPLE FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR MY POETRY<(soundgarden poetry!)
