Here's something that happened to me: (sounds like some rehab story, I know) If you check out http://www.nextron.ch/vtour/nka49a50.html you might see in the corner of the street a very small music store, the name: Musik Hug. It is a swiss store in Basel. I was there four years ago with two guys I used to play with. We were in Switzerland for the summer holidays. In that store we found two CDs that we had never seen before, Temple of the Dog and (sigh) SOMMS. I had the money to buy ONE CD, I had to choose between an uncommon 2-disk copy of Badmotorfinger and something that seemed like a strange fusion between Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. I tought that the Temple of the Dog album would be something very hard to find in the future and that was why I bought it... Today I rip my hair off every time I remember that episode, that's why I'm telling it to you, fellow listees. Perhaps you can make me feel less guilty... damn.... URBANO PD: If there's anyone from Basel in the list, ist das Musik Hug oder nicht? Ich bin fast sicher aber ich weiss nicht. :^) ------------------------------ From: Jammie Subject: umm.. i heard about SG on SNL...w/ Jim Carey???? how odd...

Well, I'm settled. And my new company *finally* has Net access, so I'm back. I know I'm kind of out of the loop right now, so mostly I'll just sit back and read. At least for a while. As long as I'm here, I saw the sign-up for Lollapoluza. Isn't ANYONE planning on going to the Charleston show on July 16? I've talked to Jamie, and I know she's going. What about the rest of you in the DC, MD, VA area? Nothingman? Kevin? Come on guys, sign up. How many chances do you get to see SG and Metallica on the same bill? At this point, I'm contemplating going to the Allentown show as well. (I'll be on vacation that week anyway, so what the hell?) O.K., enough prodding. One more thing before I go. I hear Nothingman is the Keeper of the Shirts. Drop me a line, Nothingman. I'd like to hear more. Oh well, gotta go.

I have a CD single called "Outshined" that has two versions of Outshined plus "Girl you Want", "Show Me" and "Into the Void". It was put out by A&M Records, so you should be able to find it at any good record store (I don't remember where I bought it). Good Luck> Kathie ------------------------------ From: Gail Flowers Subject: RE: ohmygawd!! a normal post!! I'll have to agreed with ShRooMGrLz@aol.com about the lyrics in Seasons. I think it's: "If I should be short on words and long on things to say, could you crawl into my world and take me worlds away" To me, he's saying "If I start babbling, come shut me up with something that will make me really think" The other version: "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?" To me, it's too "wordy" (forgive the pun). That's not like CC. Then again, this might be saying, "If I start to sound like I know what I'm talking about, would you come shut me up?" Maybe!! But like I said the first one sound more like something CC would write. The truth is we can't really know, unless CC let's us know.

On Thursday, 21 Mar 1996, Blind Dog wrote: >tell us what it sounds like and where you heard it :) talking about the song I had heard : "Burden in my hand" Well, I heard it on a radio program here in Spain and they said that it was the first recording of that song and it would be mixed again. The song is a half acoustic song; the main guitar is an acoustic guitar but it is a normal song, you know, with bass and drums playing. The man on the radio program said that it will be the second single and the song is a kind of "Black Hole Sun". That's all for now! I hope this will be usefull on our waiting for the new album.

Same concept as 'The Day I Tried To Live'...a man who wants to reveal himself in unfamiliar environments, struggling to break from his self-inflicted introverted world. In 'Seasons' he's hoping relief will come from a friend's guidance -- from a confidant he can feel both safe and daring enough with to explore worlds other than the internal life he's become confined by and dependent upon.

Don't forget you can see >three of their videos on the CD+. As much I like the sound of that realize that not everyone gets MuchMusic. Canada although being the largest country land mass wise has very little influence popularly with the rest of the world... (c: You probably get American networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, etc... but I get no Canadian broadcast channels. I'm getting at this: If any kind Canadian (or Northern American they may get the channel) can video tape these vids next time they air (I guess they pre-announce this type of 'event') onto a standard US (well, N. American) VHS player tape I'd be greatly appreciative & would gladly offer audio recordings of any Soundgarden b-sides, demos, live shows, etc. that I have in my collection. peace, love, out, ray (c: ------------------------------ From: UnknMan@aol.com Subject: 'All Your Lies' lyrics OK OK... I've decided to do my best with the lyrics to a song that're clearly incorrect as seen at Seth's web site. All Your Lies (Music: Thayil, Yamamoto / Lyrics: Cornell) All your fears are lies X 4 Clipless, falling, limping, crawling, biting, fight back from dying, endless ending, comprending nothing of the scent's she's sending loosely your fighting your cheating & lying back in mine, you're known for crying, wrapped like a cat with my head in a sack I feel like I'm tied to a railroad track and all 'o your fears are lies... {repeat the lyrics 3 times or until your voices hurts too much to go on} This was taken mostly from the version off the Deep Six comp... it's much clearer lyrically than the Ultramega OK version. I also used various live cuts of it to 'check my work.' Feel free to pick this apart & do what you can with it. By the way... does Cornell say something like 'back in my Taquito' during the last refrain on the Deep Six recording? I've always wondered what he was screaming... this is the only feasible guess that possibly comes to mind... hehe... imagine that being feasible!

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). Hello Kate. I have been on this list since November. And, although I was a hermit for quite some time, also... I did appreciate the "soundganja" thing. As to the rest... you know, it's strange, but alot of the people on the list had more of a problem with me calling them conserservative, than with me talking about CC. >Some of us just don't seem to be as easily impressed with rock stars as >you are. Hmmm... now when, praytell have I ever said that I was impressed with anyone besides CC? I don't recall saying anything to the effect of "Golly gee... I surely do get all excited whenever (insert various rock star) gets on stage and shakes his bootie! Boy oh boy I can't wait to get on that tour bus so I can get into his pants!!" Honestly Katey, dear heart... why don't you go back and read some of your digests again? The only person I've been drooling over is CC. >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. What's this? Oh man!! You know what people? I must be PSYCHIC!!! Did not the all-powerful Shroom predict this occurence of someone NOT getting on the bus? Wow... now I can get one of those 900 #'s. I'll beat out Dionne Warwick yet!!! Now Katey, why would you want to be outside, where it's hot and miserable, paying for your own beer... when you could be kicking back on a cool and plush bus, drinking free beer and smoking weed, without having to keep an eye out for cops? But hey... that's your prerogative. > I HATE being looked at like a groupie, and I speak from >experience... having met several highly visible >bands... I feel your pain, Kate... but personally, I could give a shit less what people think of me. No wait... I take that back. If it's people I care about (parents, friends), then I give a shit. But if it's just going to be a bunch of strangers, looking at me and saying, " Oh my gawd... didyoujustseethatslut? Looook at the way she's dressed!!!" , I honestly don't care. You see, I have excellent self-esteem. Other peoples opinions don't affect me. >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. I repeat people... "hootchied up" is nothing more than a label for a chic that's dressed for the elements. Well, in my case it is. Yah, I know there's tons of girls who put on the microscopic skirts and dresses, and wait out by the tour buses for the bands... but I don't do that. I don't own any slinky dresses, or other "hootchie" stuff. I wear bikini tops, and shorts. It's too fucking hot outside in the summer, especially here in TX, to wear anything more. During the winter, I don't wear anything more prevocative than my brother does. But I've been called a hootchie so many times... I think it's funny as hell. So, back to my original saying... dressing like a hootchie gets ya stuff. I didn't say I WAS a hootchie... I just said that dressing LIKE one gets ya stuff. I don't go hang out by the buses, unless it's a band I really like, and I want their autographs. But since I've been classified a hootchie, I don't bother to try to change anyone's opinion, because I don't care. I have chosen to defend myself here, though, for two reasons. One, I do have some friends on this list whose opinions I DO care about. And two... I'm on spring break, I have no studying left to do, and the clubs don't open until 9pm. Oh, and another thing... I think it's wrong that you should classify ALL guys in bands as only wanting one thing. I've met quite a few really nice and decent guys who aren't even interested in getting naked with every attractive girl they see. Many of them are just happy to hang out and talk about life, while getting drunk and high. I don't know which guys you've met, Katey... but let me be the first to assure you that not all guys in bands are players. So here's a piece of advice for YOU... don't be so quick to stereotype people. Just because a girl is wearing a bikini top doesn't mean she's a hootchie or groupie... and just because a guy is in a band, it doesn't make him into an only-one-thing-on-his-mind, sex-driven pervert. There's a word for people like you... prejudiced. That's a terrible way to be, Kate. >You KNOW what they sound >like when they fuck (sorry squeamish readers), because you've heard it >before. Now THIS is funny!! Sorry to burst your bubble, Katey... but the only band people I've had sex with are guys who've been local, and been my boyfriends. Somehow I doubt you're going to believe this, but I've never had sex on a tour bus. None of my boyfriend's bands have been THAT popular. Tour VANS on the other hand... well, that's another story. But if you're going to be so kind as to classify my ex-boyfriends as rock stars, well then I guess you're right, I do know what they sound like when they fuck. One more thing Katey... why are you so concerned with my sex life? >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? Hmmm... sounds to me that someone here has has some experience in this matter. C'mon Katey... spill your guts. Share your feelings with the group. Well... whether you choose to or not, it doesn't matter. I've never given my phone number to anyone in a major band, whether they asked or not. All I want from bands are autographs, photos, and on occasion their beer and weed. Like I said before, the only person who I'm impressed with is CC. And before you start accusing me of thinking I have a snowball's chance in hell with him... let me assure you that I'm already fully aware of that. But it's not going to stop me from drooling over him. Or talking about him. >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. What story are you referring to? Meeting bands and hanging out with them? Drinking and smoking with them? And who the hell is Too Short? >Am I making sense? Very little. >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. Well, congratulaions!! Who ever said you had to fuck him? >And, girl, your perversity is mild and mildly amusing. >Talk about what you want. Well, if I'm mild and mildly amusing, why are you freaking out so bad? I always talk about what I want. I do what I want, I say what I want... what can I tell you? I'm a hedonist. The world is my playground. Kate, you need to relax more. Don't take everything so seriously!! >The people around you will tire of it before >you probably will. eventually you'll find someone else to like. Yah, well, some of them already did tire of it (go back and re-read your digests, darlin'). I have already announced TWICE that I would calm down my CC posts, although I won't stop with them altogether. Eventually I'll find someone else to like? That's quite possible, but I've been in my CC "phase" for about 6 years now. >Just something for you to think about. Laugh about, you mean. >Sorry I got all preachy... I just >read the digests in huge lumps and certain topics just play themselves >out really fast. Don't worry... I forgive you. I welcome all debates, whether they're about me personally, or about anything. Except for politics. I don't discuss politics with strangers. >See you at the concerts... good luck with the bands. Hmmm... I spend most of my time in the pits. Maybe we'll bump into each other! =) Anyway... to recap... I'm not a groupie. I'm not saying that if CC came up to me and said "Hey Shroom... let's get naked." I'd say no. But like I said before... I know that's NOT going to happen. And if I ever get so lucky as to meet him, I'm not going to proposition him or anything. So my advice to everyone who is still freaking out over this is... GET OVER IT. If I offend you for being the way I am... tough shit. Deal with it. I'm not asking for your acceptance. And your whining about it isn't going to make me change. But I do know who my friends are on this list. And I can respect their requests to not be so graphic with my posts. Have I covered everything? Please... if there's anything else... don't hesitate to bring it up!

I am pretty sure that it is on a single. I have it from the Pearl Jam broadcast from last year and it kicks everyone's ass all over the place. ------------------------------ From: foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com Subject: Can't we all just get along? I just wanted to mention a couple things: the Chris Cornell-is-a-sex-god thread has died, but a new thread has replaced it: Let's-Argue-About-Your-Chris-Cornell-Fantasies, and it kinda sucks, cause we're all Soundgarden fans, you know, and we shouldn't fight amongst ourselves. We should all band together :> I don't know about anyone else, but absolutely NO ONE I know personally likes Soundgarden (they all say they do, but their cds sit and gather dust, oh well) so I turn to somms@mit.edu when I wanna talk about just how DAMN excited I am that the new album comes out in TWO MONTHS TODAY! and I'm gonna see em THREE TIMES this summer!!! Woohoo!!! Now, I talk to Shroom a lot, and I think she's the shiznit :>, and I do think Chris Cornell is attractive (that's putting it lightly) and I didn't mind her posts at all, but it's really nothing to get upset about. In my opinion, anyway. My theory is if you're sick of this thread, why don't you introduce a new one? Instead of arguing and keeping the subject hanging over the list, simply CHANGE the subject. Make a post like "what's everyone's favorite song," or something like that, I know it's been discussed before, and I don't know about anyone else, but my favorite Soundgarden song changes every five minutes :> Right now it's "Jesus Christ Pose." I'm trying to think of a really good question I can ask you, fellow Soundgarden mailing list members, instead of this bickering. Sure, it keeps your mailbox interesting :> but I for one get incredibly upset by flames, dunno about everyone else.. Maybe I'm overreacting.... blah... Well I'm gonna take off my "foreshocks the peacekeeper" hat and ask what happened to that deadline for the shirts? It's tomorrow :> Are we gonna keep tallying votes for a while or are we gonna take the votes we have and go on that? Hmmmmmmm........ ARGHIE! I can't think of anything! Sure, you go and try the subject, but you can't THINK of a new subject! That's foreshocks for you :> Ok, this is kinda lame but it's the only thing I can think of at the moment :> What's your favorite Soundgarden moment? It can be at a show, on TV, in a song, in an interview, anything. Mine is probably when I saw them in Rochester, and Chris lifted up his shirt and screamed "SHOW US YOUR TITS. MALES ONLY PLEASE." Hehe :> Course, when he ran down the bowling lane on Headbangers Ball and kicked the pins down with his feet, that was cool too.

I'm new on the list and I must say that all of this that's going on is pretty interesting. For the record, I respect everyone's right to say whatever they want--as long as they don't go out of their way to make life suck for other people. Anyway, that's not the real reason I'm writing this message. I was first introduced to Soundgarden when I heard the song Outshined. Naturally, I loved the song and looked into this group called Soundgarden. One of my friends had the album Superunknown (this was around December 1994), so I borrowed it. This has got to be one of my favorite albums of all time. (At the moment, my favorite song is Superunknown). Anyway, I recently got Badmotorfinger and am becoming increasingly interested in Soundgarden. I have the songs on the Singles Soundtrack (Seasons and Birth Ritual, right?), the Pearl Jam broadcast stuff, and Temple of the Dog. I like what I'm hearing. My question is: What should I get next? I think older Soundgarden stuff is a little different so I want to know what I would probably appreciate most in light of the fact that the majority of what I've heard is their recent material. Any suggestions? Your help is appreciated. I like the idea of a mailing list like this. I wonder if there is one for Pearl Jam fans (I'm a big Pearl Jam fan as well). Anyone know? Thanks again.

I think anyone should be able to write whatever they want to write about SG and SG related stuff, regardless of what others on the list think. I get a charge out of the Chris Cornell as hunk posts because where else can you talk about that kind of thing. Unfortunately most of my friends and relatives have not been enlightened and most barely know who SG is, so I love being able to communicate with all of you who are so into them, no matter what anyone chooses to write about. I really love this list and would hate to see it ruined by petty infighting about something so stupid. If you see a post you aren't interested in, just delete it.

Maybe it's just my personal opinion. A lot of bands do it. I know the Beatles used to do that. They'd throw a party with just the Beatles and a lot of chicks that someone affiliated with the band went out in the audience and found, and then each Beatle would pick a few and take them back to their rooms. This happened after just about every show. And one time, John Lennon was nervous before a show, because he didn't have his drugs or something, so he had someone go find him a chick, and he raped her to calm himself down. He did that right in front of a bunch of people. What nerve. Anyway, this is Soundgarden related because the Beatles were one of SG's influences, although I'm sure Chris doesn't rape women.

I played the videos through my player thingy from the CD (without starting the CD) and it saved the video (or whatever I tried to play) to my hard drive, and then played it. It was slower and sloppier. But you can also listen to some of the songs that are just put on there, without having to look at whatever it does. Like the songs from the picture gallery thing.

We would all hear a song, and go, "Oh yeah, it means this, and I think it's cool." But we all have our individual opinions, so we can keep discussing things, and often the same thing over and over again, because another individual subscribes and starts a new thought about it.

I'm sure a gay fan loves to hear people say Chris is gay, not to be perverted (maybe...) but because he can identify with it. I'm a straight male, and I like it when people say he's not gay, because I can identify with that. But anyway, I want to know the gossip, too, but I don't want that to take over.
