Not the best song, but it really does something to me, um, anyway, could have caused a Limo Wreck. Now I'm trying to write something intelligent, but I can't stop "wallowing in my own obscenities" so I guess I better try again tomorrow. Bye.

FDR isn't really a concert boot...it's just a bunch of B-sides. So, if you're hearing crowd noise remember that it's just the song...NOT a live concert. It's a good album, all in all, and it's nice to be able to hear all of the B-sides. Next...send mail to saperl@mit.edu and request the digest. He'll fix you up. ------------------------------ From: Moon Druid Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Saturday, 6 Apr 1996 >I have a theory about harmonicas.

I If you want a challenging harmonica solo - The Wizard by Black Sabbath. Ozzy does some serious work on that harmonica.

Well...even though I flamed the hell out of someone for this before, let's remember that they originally were thinking of calling the album Badmotherfucker. (Or Bahdmutherfucer...some wierd spelling) but, naturally, weren't allowed to... Maybe this is their little way of getting revenge. ------------------------------ From: Moon Druid Subject: THIS is what you need on the page! >I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the page belongs to all of >us, so if you have ideas, tell me! You should add a "guest book" to each of the discog pages. I remember when the page was first up, you could comment on each of the albums. That was pretty cool...but then it went away pretty fast. ------------------------------ From: Moon Druid Subject: Why? >On a more serious note, let's take a moment of silence to remember what >happened in Seattle 2 years ago, during this week. A moment for Kurt Cobain, >please. Why? I assure you that Kurt never wanted people observing a moment of silence for him, and he sure as hell doesn't now. If anything, tell somebody to Fuck Off for Kurt this week...that's what Kurt would want more than anything else. ------------------------------ From: "Vasant Ramamurthy" Subject: Fopp (Dub); Garbage I've always wondered where the dialogue in Fopp (Dub) came from. Well, today I found out from the unlikeliest of places. I was watching TV, and an ad came on for a Godzilla toy. In the commercial, Godzilla screamed. I immediately thought, where have I heard this scream, then I knew, I heard it in Fopp (Dub). That's really cool. Now I know for sure. Ok, I'll be quiet now; I know some of you already knew this. :-) In totally non-SG topic, I was watching MTV, and I realized the lead singer of Garbage is a babe. Oh yeah, the song "Only Happy When It Rains" is pretty good, too. ;-) Vasant - -- ******************************************************************************** The Refuge of the Damned http://ctdnet.acns.nwu.edu/~vman/me.html Vasant Ramamurthy vman@ctdnet.acns.nwu.edu "I don't need your love to disconnect" - An Ode to No One -Smashing Pumpkins ******************************************************************************** ------------------------------ From: dwy2@po.cwru.edu (Bu Shi Bai Ren) Subject: No Claims >From: "Joseph A.

Music isn't "ours" anymore than it is "theirs" (meaning poseurs, wannabes, etc.). Of course they're unimaginative morons. Of course they're hypocrites. And of course, the only people who like them are their own kind. We have a right to be pissed, and we are. BUT, in our hateful enthusiasm, some of us have gone too far, ie. claiming music for "us". That's not the way to go about it, folks. Music is music is music. Which means it belongs to everyone, no matter what kind of idiots they are. I for one certainly don't send my messages to "claim" music. I don't think in terms of "my music", "your music". I'm simply bringing attention upon fakes (they should just be beaten, no matter what music they listen to). I don't think of myself as a "hard core grunger" anymore than I believe in "alternative music". It doesn't exist, except as a marketing scheme. Wannabes piss me off as much as the next guy, but don't let your anger cloud your judgement. Meaning, don't get presumptuous and start claiming how "cool" and "alternative-grungey" you really are. If you really are cool, there's no need to broadcast it. Otherwise, we're morons just like them. The real fans know who they are. Stay true to yourself and the music. Let the poseurs worry about the latest trends. See ya, Dun PS: Hootie & the Blowjob has already tied with Led Zep 4 as the highest selling album on Atlantic Records. I fear for the free world. Somebody stop the madness!! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------- "Cretins! Fools!

They are certainly aware of the sexual image it produces though, even if it wasn't the original spark of the title. One of the promo items for the album was some kind of hand with a finger that waggled around. Well, I read that in the NME, it must be true! Or something.

Instead of fretiing the note by pushing down on the string, just rest your fingers lightly on top of the string. You should hear a bell- like tone.

(Shroom,. this >one's for you:) Later Hello? Wake up people. I've already announced that Shirley Manson from Garbage is a babe. I said that weeks and weeks ago. Shows how much attention you people pay to ME. Sorry bastards. Heheheh... her and Kat from Babes In Toyland. They're both HOT. I love that video for "Rain". She's looking good in that blue dress. And in concert... mmmm... VERY nice. And you're right... the music is good, too. I'll bet I could make her happier than you Brandon . Am I going to get flamed for talking about fine chics, too? Ok... gotta make this SG related. Ummm... Ok... concerning the issue of music belonging to a person, I'll quote God himself (CC): "It's like the only thing that's really yours. Relationships are never yours. Property is never yours. Your body isn't even yours. Music is something that actually is. It's forever in a way." Foreshocks typed up the article that statement is in, and it's on the page. It's pretty amusing. Details magazine, April 1994... check it out if you get a chance. I was listening to the radio last night, and I got the same tease-treatment as alot of my fellow listers. The DJ announced something about the new album, and then wouldn't play anything from it... that sorry bastard. I should have known the man was an idiot when he said the title of the album was "Down The Upside". On the flip side, thanks for a groovy review of "Pretty Noose", Foreshocks!! I can't wait too hear it!! You did a great job telling us about it. Much better than I ever could have. One more thing... if any of y'all get the chance to see Bad Religion on this tour... DO IT!! I saw 'em last night, and it was the BEST BR show I've ever seen. They're improving with age (who woulda thought they could have gotten any better?). Peace, Love, and Waterbeds...

Kathie ------------------------------ From: Caryn Rose Subject: peter cornell if you don't like 'gratuitous' discussion of the physical appearances of the members of SG, delete now. I went to see Wesley Willis last Saturday night here in Seattle and we get there and walk in the show room and I fall over laughing because... the first person i see is none other than Mr. Peter Cornell, out for an evening with the wife. We went and stood behind this pillar and my friend kept looking at me because i kept sneaking looks at PC from behind the pillar and giggling. (well, i was in a silly mood. i'm not normally the kind of grrl who giggles. ;-> ). anyway -- he's pretty good looking, no doubt about it, and he *does* look like CC's brother, but even my bf thinks cc is the better looking of the two ;) and i doubt he is that tall, i was standing next to him at the tshirt table for a few minutes and he's not that much taller than me, and i'm 5'7". i guess he could be about 6'2", but not much more than that. more gratuitous info for a saturday night... - --caryn ;) ------------------------------ From: Kelly Christa Jones Subject: Imports Kay,,,I've been on the list and heard people talk about various imports, but I didn't really pay attention because I had never seen them around where I am (Flagstaff, AZ). Buy I went to a record store yesterday and they had THREE!! I bought Garden of Souls. They also had Eye and Omega Paradise. Should I spend $30 on the other 2 (that's $30 each). Or does anyone want me to buy it for them and then I can copy it? :) Any advice/info would be appreciated. bye Kelly ------------------------------ From: URBANO Subject: Re: SyZyGy mag Gregg wrote: > http://www.sgi.net/syzygy > Do you mean SyZyGy?
