It's time to lift our kickstands and go into action people. No amount of extra time is going to change the (almost) consensus we seem to have on the shirt design. Looks to me like we have a short-sleeved, twisted-forked, '16'-fonted, somms@mit.edu t-shirt in the winners envelope. Let's get it made :) ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Shirts - Just do it.

Nothingman -I like Iced Tea. ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: SNL and Sg ME>This is quite true....The whole concept of "selling out" is pure bullshit ME>anyway... You know, I have to agree. I don't listen to the radio, except when I get in my car and I'm selecting a new tape to listen to, or if I'm rewinding a tape, and I don't get MTV. So I don't know what's popular or not. I just know that I used to hear Hootie everytime I get in my car (because I don't put my tape in until after I start the car) and that was annoying. I occasionally watch MTV at my school, and I always see the same couple videos. Green Day and Alanis and a few others that have become annoying (not that the Green Day and Alanis vids weren't annoying in the first place). But anyway...I forgot my point. Some people start to hate bands just because they are getting radio play, and others love bands because of it. Just because they're getting radio play doesn't mean they sold out. The radio changes along with the music. Even if Sg would have made Superunknown 5 years ago, it would never have been on the radio. I listen to what I like, and people who listen to stuff to be cool annoy the hell outta me. Nothingman -Bitter? Me? Well, then go suck a lemon! ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: comments part deux DA>AN> 3. Short sleeve -- necessary. Designed long sleeves are DA>AN> more attractive, but heat exhaustion is pretty damn ugly. I don't think we can get long sleeves. Anyway, it will get more expensive with the more options we throw in. If all the shirts have the same design (which they will), and if they're all the same sleeve length (which I think they should be, just to keep it simple...considering I already have more than half the orders with not one saying anything about sleeves...but DON'T start sending sleeve length requests) then it will be MUCH less expensive than with all these options. Ok, so it's not all these...more like, this one, but anyway... If you thinks it's too cold out, put on a coat and look for the other fools with the shirt. Or else put a long sleeved shirt under it. Geez, I sound like a mother. Nothingman -Are you going outside? Well, where's your hat, young man? ------------------------------ From: DanaBT@aol.com Subject: Favorite SG moment Whoever started this thread, hats off.... My favorite non-musical SG moment was during a show when Chris announced that they were giving one of their guitars away that night, to whoever caught it! The local radio station (I think KOME for those of you in the S.F. Bay Area) was giving away an autographed one but Chris decided to cut out the middle man. He tossed it out to the audience (very gently, he didn't want to hurt anyone) and naturally alot of people went for it. A few minutes later he said something like "you guys are still fighting for it, aren't you? Give it up! It's a piece of shit! It was made in Korea." These guys were still fighting for it an hour later! Favorite musical moment?? When the lights went down, curtain went up, and Matt started rolling out the intro to JCP.

But what I heard...source was a friend that asked when buying tickets. So asking the venue should give a good answer..thats why I am 50% sure this is true. OK all you Aussies fans :) Who is on Tour in May...no no besides SG...Red Hot Chili Peppers.... ok well done......ok who else is on tour in May? well I'll be if it isn't Soundgarden.....and well as rumors have it, aswell as doing their own pure SG show, SG are backing up and doing support to the RHCP!!!!! please note it's only what I heard...but I would not be shocked if its true! They are both here at the same time...I assume they get along well enough...why wouldn't the RCHP ask SG to join em for a bit?? All I can say is it'll be awesome indeed if it is true :) :) :) And I hope everyone go RHCP tickets cause only Sydney and Melbourne so far have a 2nd show..I think Brissy should get one...hope so.

(long title) and the other one i caught was "karaoke" ("a song about all these new 'grunge' bands that sound pretty much the same" as the vj put it). i didnt get the other titles because i was doing something else and he said them pretty fast, but he didnt mention "kyle petty". about 2 weeks ago they were playing the "flower" video quite regularly on mtv latino (i saw it 3 times in one week) so i taped it. but i guess most of you dont get mtv latino huh? i have been a huge soundgarden fan since 1989 when i got "louder than love". i think LTL is, technically, the best album in music history even though my favorite is "badmotorfinger" just because it was with me through a lot of important things. i wouldnt be the same person i am now without soundgarden's music. my biggest frustration has been never getting hold of a SOMMS copy. ive only known of 1 copy in my whole country (peru) and it was from a radio station. i was friends with a guy that worked there and he taped it for me. but i recently got the cdplus (thank god) and i love it. i cant wait for the new album. enrique. ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Shirt, and some other stuff I have about 50 people on the shirt list. If you still haven't ordered one, send me: name address (snail mail) size and then you'll be added to my list, which is the one that counts. :) Soon I will be confirming that you ordered a shirt.

I will let you know once again before I start so I don't get a bazillion messages back. On to more Soundgarden stuff! On Motorvision, after Room a Thousand Years Wide, it looks as though Chris is wearing glasses, and he says, "I can't see a fuckin' thing anymore." I didn't know he wore glasses. I also went to Philly this week, and I saw a CD in some little shop. It was called Seattle something or other, and it had demos from a few bands. The first two songs were Soundgarden, and they were Beyond the Wheel (I think), and some other song I've never heard. Then it had a bunch of Mother Love Bone songs, and then some Alice in Chains. They were all demos. I would've loved to get it, but it was $25 and I had $20 to get home on. If anyone has this, or has heard of it, tell us, so I know what I'm missing.

Ummm.... my fave SG moment would (of course) be when I touched Chris. But other than that... I'd have to say that every concert I've ever seen with them has been excellent. Even when they opened for GNR or Skid Row. Although... yes, I'll admit it... at one time I was a GNR fan. Although I NEVER listened to Skid Row. I think one of the most embarassing bands I used to listen to would have to be Bon Jovi. When they were totally glammed out. "You give love... a bad name.." Oh man... I used to listen to that before school in the mornings. Ack. Why am I sharing this? Hell if I know. I know this has nothing to do with SG... but if some of you feel like sharing your past embarassing musical interests... maybe at the end of your posts... that would be kinda cool.

The Toadies. A decent band, in and of itself. But what I get mad about is how a year ago they were playing local clubs (my fave is Trees), and very few people were willing to shell out $3 or $5 to see them. I loved seeing 'em, though. Saw 'em every chance I got. But when they became popular... oh man... it got waaaaay out of hand. All of the sudden they have a video on MTV, and they're getting on the radio everywhere... and suddenly EVERYONE in Dallas is loving them. Even my idiot friends who refused to see the Toadies at Trees, wanted to see them in arenas!! The fucking Toadies... who couldn't even sell out a club before they got on MTV... sold out THREE arena show here in Dallas in December. THREE shows. And each ticket cost more than $15 bucks apiece? THAT'S what makes me mad. Don't get me wrong... I don't begrudge them their fame or anything... they certainly deserve it. But the fans are idiots. Total and complete morons.

"Christie" and "Karaoke" are titles that seem to have been discarded when it came down to selecting the final track list for the new record. It's possible that these songs will appear with different titles, but we may never know that. In any case, the track list that I sent to the list a week or so ago is official.

I was standing in the lobby of Palmer auditorium in Davenport, Iowa, having a beer and smoking a cigarette while Eleven finished their set. Matt and Chris were standing outside right behind me next to the bus. A girl nearby sees them and freaks out. She rushes to a nearby door and pleads with the guard to let her out to get an autograph. He agrees but says he wont let her back in. She yells to Chris to come to the door but he tells her (laughing the whole time) that if she wants it she has to come over to him. Pissed off, she turns and storms back in to the lobby complaining to her friends what assholes the band is. Oh well, I got a good laugh out of it.

Little Joe and Blind Dog, who died and left you in charge? Who in hell do you think you are, dictating what other people should post to the list? While I might not have the same feelings as Shroomgirl does, your posts offend me a lot more than hers do. Your effort to suppress free speech is far,far more offensive than any question about Chris Cornell's sex life could be. Did you get some mail from Seth the rest of us didn't? Mail in which you were told you could not post about anything but the music? I thought not. This list is about Soundgarden-people can post anything they want about Soundgarden. If it's about them it's on topic. If you don't want to read it, don't. Last I heard, Seth was the one who decides what goes in the digest or not. Those of you who have been complaining, you are not the ones in control, so stop the whining. We have something called the first amendment, remember? Someone said that the list was for the discussion of Soundgarden's music, nothing else. Really? I don't remember Seth saying that. Refresh my memory- perhaps it was so long ago, it just slipped my mind. Yeah, right. I know damn well there is no such rule. Everyone, if you were intimidated by what's going on, and didn't post something you wanted to, please don't be afraid of some narrow minded souls, go ahead and post. The wide variety of topics and responses is what makes this list enjoyable. Shroom, you can post graphic sex fantasies about how Chris Cornell did you doggy style and I won't complain. Because I realize, unlike some other people who shall remain nameless, that you have as much right as I do to post what you want. I wouldn't want you telling me what I should or should not post, so I won't do the same to you. ------------------------------ Subject: Great moments by Soundgarden From: tonerkin@usa.pipeline.com (Tonerkin) Alas and alack I have not been fortunate enough to see SG live. So my little lame memories revolve around their music. This past summer I had a get out of the house, get away from responsibilities night. Dinner and a movie had ended way too soon. So iinstead of going home we hit the X-pressway on a beautiful summer night. The Chicago skyline was sparkling, the road wide open and Soundgarden blasting on the stereo. It was a beautiful thing!!!

Part of it is a desire to avoid reserved seating/shed type venues, after all the problems with bands that weren't Hole or Cypress Hill playing in front of empty bowls while people looked on from the lawn last summer. I don't have the Toledo TM number handy, but could look it up if needed. Also, everyone might want to know that the Saugerties Lolla. appearance seems to be out, at last at that venue, and that the Jul. 15 Allentown show might actually be at a place called Atlas, about 100 miles to the NWW. All this is still tentative, of course.

Unfortunately, yes. The farmer who owns the sight where Woodstock 94 was held decided against any future concerts there.

They might say that, but oh well. There's a difference between jumping on the cool bandwagon, and discovering a new band. I never heard of Soundgarden here in the boonies until right before the release of Superunknown. I bought Superunknown the day it came out, and loved 'em so much that I went out and bought everything else I could find. So it's not like people around me were saying, "Get the Soundgarden album! THEN you'll be cool!" Most people around here don't even know Soundgarden has more than one album. These are the people who buy their albums from the "Just Released and an MTV Staple" section.

Or maybe a bill of rights to recite to us: Or how about you just try and keep up to date. blind dog and myself were only replying because of the way Shroom treated our neighbour, Carolyn, on the list. Mentioning the (at best) dubious nature of Schroom's posts was simply an aside to this. If that sort of topic does it for you, then we are obviously operating on very different wavelengths. I signed up to talk about the band, not to see a thread about tongue-kissing and sex noises turn into the flaming of one of my fellow Australian list members. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: SSWoody23@aol.com Subject: sg Hello Soundgarden fans.
