It seems we had this discussion about a month ago when some people complained about the "Chris as Love God" posts and I believe the final word was that as long as it pertains to Soundgarden its appropriate for the list and that Seth would make that determination (you know, free speech, tolerance, and all). Not everyone has the time, money, or inclination to "browse the web page" every time they have a question or comment. I have found the people on this list for the most part to be friendly and informed and I learn alot about them from their posts, whatever the content. Sometimes people, especially new list members, ask a question that may just be a conversation opener. When someone asks you what the weather is like do you tell them to turn on the weather channel? Just my humble opinion. Kathie ------------------------------ From: OponFam@aol.com Subject: Reflections on SOMMS There's been alot of discussion about this disc lately and I've been thinking about how I felt when it first came out. I was one of the people who bought Badmotorfinger the minute it was released. When shortly after that I found out about the SOMMS disc I was a bit pissed, feeling betrayed by the band because it seemed they were pulling a fast one on those of us who rushed out to buy the single disc. Of course I could not live without SOMMS so I bought it and I'm glad I did, but I wish I hadn't had to buy two BMF in order to get it. As much as I love the disc, I just had to get this off my chest. Did this happen to anyone else, where you bought BMF then found out about SOMMS (back when they were first released)? How did you feel?

Ok, just so I know. If I ever see SOMMS (I'm being optomistic here), what will it most likely look like? I saw the black cover for it, but it seems that most people got it with Badmotorfinger. So am I looking for a Badmotorfinger? Will it look exactly like the regular Badmotorfinger? I just wanna know what to look for. And the other day, one of my friends said, "What's that Soundgarden CD that opens like the CD+?" The first thing I thought was, "HE KNOWS WHERE TO GET SOMMS!" Then he said, "A friend of mine in Jersey has it." I hate my life.

Your not the only one that gets pissed by this, it is a common record company ploy to keep up sales of CD's, release it first, wait a few months then release it with a 2nd CD of special/live songs. It didn't happen with BMF with me, but a heap of other bands most recently Spiderbait...a 2nd cd with 5 LIVE tracks!!! AAAARRRRRAAGGGHHHH ....oh well you have to put up with it, and alot of the time the true fans that buy the album the day of release miss out on the special packs unless you fork out twice for the album. I don't think soundgarden really ment it as money grabbing for the band, like most other bands that do have 2nd cd's I think it is more of the record company idea to get more money for company in the long run/keep the album in the top 40 or whatever. I think bands are happy that they get to put out tracks that otherwise we would never hear. seeya Lee _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ SONIC E-mail ar303921@student.uq.edu.au Turn it UP and Play it LOUD!!

Isn't somebody working on it? Somms stands for satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas, which is a palindrome.

The second disc, somms, has 5 songs on it: Into the Void(Sealth), Girl U Want, Stray Cat Blues, She's a Politician, and Slaves and Bulldozers(Live). There were only 100000 copies of somms printed up, so if you can get your hands on one, do it. -Geoff p.s.

The DJ was one of those guys that sounds like he's excited about anything. He said, "No, not yet dude, but I've heard it and it really rocks. Hey can I play something else for you, how about some Bush?" I couldn't help but laugh when he asked me if I wanted to hear bush. Hearing my reaction he said, "O.K. dude, anything else I can play for you tonight?" I asked if he could play some Muddy Waters, he laughed, I asked if he could play some Lightning Hopkins, he laughed, finally I asked him if he would play Beyond the Wheel by SG, and he said, "Bond's that Steal, huh? I never heard of that one, but I'll try and find it for you, later man." The point of my ranting is to further express my dislike for the majority of radio on the airwaves.

Good album. "Bulls on Parade" is gonna sound great during the summer. How many of the songs could be found on the RATM bootleg _Demo's_ (i think that's what it's called). > 3) I saw a copy of the sub pop 200 for 20 bucks is it worth it? I am kind > of directing this question to Seth and Steve because those two seem to be > fervent vinyl collectors. I don't even own a record player, but it sounds > like a sound investment. I plan on buying a turntable anyway. If it's vinyl. It's worth ALOT more than 20 bucks. Check to make sure everything is included. There are 2 or 3 different packaged CD's floating around. With the newest one containing a 'young' CC on the CD and in a box sorta like the Zep box set #2. I believe its a sub pop import. Buy that one. (if you can find it) > 4) Ratm will be on saturday night live next weekend. Sounds interesting. RATM was on SNL last saturday. They only played ONE song! Check out todays Addicted to Noise to find out why.

I think he shaved it, too. There's a picture in Hit Parader (shitty magazine, but they have good pictures) where Chris is stabding holding a cardboard cut-out of a guitar (with an arm...I don't get it) and his hair is just gone. I mean, there is stubble, but not enough that it could've been cut...I mean, there's no way it coulda been cut that short. It was shaved.

Somms on tape does not count unless it the DAT or something that Soundgarden recorded directly onto. (not too likely that anyone will have one of those) Sorry Nothingman, you'll just have to keep searching, just remember to keep the good eye OPEN. Geoff > > Wow. I was WAY off on the SOMMS songs.

I was just sitting here by myself... thinking, and eating all the chocolate easter bunnies I managed to acquire over the holidays (all hail the mighty rabbit). Yah, I know... scary combination, but I can't help it. I'm crazy like that. I even pull the tags off of pillows and run with scissors. But anyway... I was just wondering how many true LiC's (Lech's in Chris) we have on this list. So I've decided to do my first (and probably last) poll. So here goes... If you happened to find Chris Cornell lying unconscious one day in a field or wherever (no he's not hurt or in any danger... just unconscious), would you perform any devious acts upon his luscious body... if you knew for certain that no one would ever know but you? E-mail your responses to me so I can revel in not being the ONLY LiC on the list. I know I'm a SICKO (thanks for THAT nickname go to Dena), but I know that I'm not the only one. C'mon people... I swear it won't go beyond my computer if you would or wouldn't. I SWEAR ON THE SACRED BODY OF CHRIS THAT I WON'T SAY A WORD ABOUT WHAT YOU PEOPLE TELL ME!!! And that's one promise I would never break. Swearing over Chris' body is not something that can be taken lightly. Whoah... chocolate buzz... verrrry nice!! Ummm... it doesn't have to be just women who e-mail me. I know if I were I guy, I'd certainly turn bi if it were Chris. Heheheh...
