Thank yew and goodnight... The official Lolla page does not yet have the dates. There is a low-bandwidth version of the page (for which you don't need Netscape 2.x and the various plugins), which is linked from the index page. Also, keep checking the unofficial Lolla page, which is at http://nimitz.mcs.kent.edu/~cstone/lol96.html -- and I'm sure Carl will keep us updated if there is any news. seth ------------------------------ From: Szabolcs 'AnselmoCornell' Olah Subject: Subscribe subscribe anselmo@ursus.bke.hu Hi guyz||| I don't know if it's a mailing list or what, but for sure here I've sent you my email address. I'm a big big big big^10^240 Soundgarden fan, and I would like to join to an sg mailing list, if there is. I'm from Hungary, and th at could be my only info source for my questions that: 1. When the new Soundgarden album comes out (I've read about the post-studio workings, and the new songtitles in the Rolling Stone, but there they only said that it would come out in spring) 2. I collect everything about them especcialy maxi, limited, bootleg CD-s LP- s||||| and guitar transcriptions, videos besides the photos, magz. (I'm a guitarrist, singer and I have 2 bands (after@all, blunted) w/ BLUNTE D we play SG like music (mixed w/ pantera crunchy riffs, base but with SG harmo nies, chord progression, and the most important: Chris Cornell-like voicing, vo cals) In concerts we play a lot Sg songs (outshined, fell on black days, spoonm an, Jesus Christ Pose, mind riot) with some Tool (opiate, sweat) and some Pante ra (becoming, this love, cemetery gates, strength b. str.) I know it sounds we irdy at all, and now you can say that I couldn't be a real fan of SG but my opi nion is that there is only good and bad music, and I can say (I'm a musician no w for 6 years, and I made some success here 3. Where do the CD-rom Alive in the Superunknown availible????? I've read about it in the Guitar for the pract. mus., but in Hungary it ai n't availible (at least till now) 4. Concerts???

Szabolcs Olah of after@all Soundgarden forever||||||||||||1 ------------------------------ Subject: coming soon... From: seth We must be getting close: today, the music store in the MIT Student Center put a "Down on the Upside" poster in the window. A rather nice yellowish color, with fuzzy silhouettes of the four band members spaced unevenly across it. It had "SOUNDGARDEN" AND "DOWN ON THE UPSIDE" written on it in the usual Soundgardenesque capital letters. It also listed the May 14 and 21 dates, the earlier being for "limited edition vinyl" and the later being for the CD and cassette. In my excitement I realized that I had forgotten to update the countdown page to reflect the vinyl release date -- it's now accurate, and that puts us less than a month away... (I also added the songwriter/lyricist for each track, which I just found out a few minutes ago; I have no confirmation yet that this is correct, but it matches the bits and pieces of info I've heard from other sources, so I'll leave it there until it's proven false) seth ------------------------------ From: Maritza Antunez Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Tuesday, 16 Apr 1996 Definately, Badmotorfinger, all the way....pardon the pun :b On Wed, 17 Apr 1996, mo wrote: > has anyone ever had sex with soundgarden's music in the background? > ------------------------------ From: Ho-Seop Kim Subject: Re: David Coverdale? >Ho-Seop Kim wrote: > >>BTW, am I the only one who's always reminded of David >Coverdale >>when Chris "wails"? > >Oh Puh-lease!

My point is i guess.. follow the arrow--> I have 3 nice sized Soundgarden posters in my bedroom at the casa. My family doesn't understand my love of Soundgarden. Don't ask why. i was playing the acoustic version of "Like Suicide" one day and asked my dad.. "do you think this is good?".. he replied. "this is good.".. I said "it's the lead singer from Soudgarden.".. he replied.."oh.. well..", like a dumbass. I was playing "i stay away" by AiC one day and he asked.. "what are they doing, dieing?".. sometimes, murder is an option.

Hillyard" Subject: Finding SOMMS Hey all, I've seen a lot of posts lately from people who are looking for a copy of SOMMS. I get Goldmine and a lot of record catalogs through my work, and I do see SOMMS for sale occasionally. While it's usually not cheap ($45-$50), IMHO it's well worth it. My suggestion is that you look through Goldmine the day it comes out, and make sure you order it immediately so that somebody doesn't beat you to it. Good luck! audrey ------------------------------ Subject: This SOMMS thingumyjig From: Brydon Cheyney CS95 As most of you people are American, you may have no idea, but do any of you know whether the BMF/SOMMS was/is available in Europe? I'd fucking kill to get this as I haven't heard 'She's a Politician' or 'Stray cat Blues' and the singles are hard to get now. I did manage to get the 'Loud Love' etched 12" with 'Fresh Deadly Roses', which is a killer song, a couple of months back, which is fucking cool so I'm not far off getting everything. One CD I'm having a shitload of hassle finding is 'Louder Than Live' I KNOW this CD/Vid exists as I saw it advertised years ago but I can't find evidence of it anywhere. Where the fuck can I get a copy? Anyway... I'm new to this group and I'd just like to say it seems pretty fucking cool and laid-back... Thanks to the people of this newsgroup, who inadvertantly directed me to the origin of a few SG tracks I have kicking around on a bootleg and had no idea where they were from - 'Stolen Prayer', 'Heartfist', 'Angel on Fire', 'Black Cat', 'Everybodys Got Something To Hide' and 'Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself'. I couldn't believe that some of these were tracks which Chris Cornell gave away! 'Heart Fist' has to be one of the all time great SG songs I've heard! I also found a shitty SG cassette bottleg that had versions of 'HIV Baby' and 'SubPop Rock City' on it - what is the best CD boot these can be found on? Cheers BC - I wanna ride upon a five mile tide of surprise and oblivion... ------------------------------ From: sean@ramoth.unl.edu (Sean McCarthy) Subject: Re-Family and musical tastes Hey All- My mom and my sister don't understand why music means so much to me. Moving out at 18 was a great help, because, honestly, I could play music as loud as I wanted(not ear splitting, unless I had a shitty day at work :) ) But I made my sister listen to Temple of the Dog, 'Fell on Black Days' 'Like Suicide', since she was a former Styx and Rush fan, I thought she would dig the musical value. Guess I was wrong. She's aged since she left college, in 5 years, she went from Def Lep to Bolton, Kenny G, Garth, Reba, safe stuff for people in their late 20s, early 30s. Anyway, she was totally unfazed. I remember listening to SuPeRunknown a year after it came out, while I was driving down a long stretch of highway. The sun was setting, and somehow, it just hit me full force. It took me a year for the album to grow on me, but it hit me full force. I was niave enough to think that my sister would have felt the same experience, but I thought that it would get some reaction. All I got was "That's nice". A casual comment. On the other hand, its what makes me different from my family. And admit fellow digesters, nothing rocks like an album that your parents, peers or siblings retract in horror or can't understand the coolness of :) My Thoughts My Submissions Peace Sean ------------------------------ From: BdMtrFngr Subject: Re: SG Radio Broadcast KRock might carry it.

I was so pissed I almost, well, i didn't do anything. Anyways, they might play that concert because they are so hyped about soundgarden all of a sudden.

They also hate Rage Against the Machine, but I can understand why on that one. It is kinda loud, and when he screams, he REALLY screams (no Chris Cornell wail here). I think my mom likes the acoustic Like Suicide, but everytime it comes on, she bitches about the Suicide part. She has this think with negative lyrics. I tried to explain it to her, how it's not about suicide (at least I faked something), but she just said, "Yeah, well, they still leave you with suicide when the songs over." She's just weird sometimes.Most of my friends don't like Soundgarden too. One of my friends (one of those "I'll buy what's popular now" people) bought Superunknown and loved it...until he went away to college, then he came back with that whiny college music shit. Oh well, my other friend (who's usually with me when I'm with the college music one) loves Soundgarden almost as much as I do (but Chris Cornell isn't his hero...his hero is Criss Oliva who was killed in a car crash; from Savatage...he does have a fork, though) and me and him throw out all his whiny shitty music, and pop in Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger...it's louder :).

The radio station I listen to here at work, just announced the song now playing was the new SG single (Pretty Noose) soon to be released. They "TALKED" through the whole thing....... They "TALKED" about Hoote and the stupid fish's new CD..... I could not believe it.. They "TALKED" through it... :-(..... But they did say they had several of the cuts from the new CD. I'll try to catch them on tape. This station played 7 cuts off the new STP CD at lease three or four weeks before the CD came out. With any luck they will do the same with SG - one can only hope.... Jamie (Greg and any others is the DC area, the station is DC101) PS: For you AIC fans - there is a Saturday night special coming on the "FOX" network. I didn't catch the date, may be this weekend.

I like the way it was filmed... and it doesn't have that STUPID clown at the beginning. I don't care if Chris likes him, or not. That fucking clown never fails to get on my nerves. Anyway... in LTL, I like the part where Jason Everman is (for want of a better word) humping Chris at the end of "I Awake".

It was my turn to bitch about it. > Anyone else have family that just puts down your musical choices? Are you > like me in that you are the only one in your family that can listen to > SG? . YES!! YES YES YES!! I swear... my family LIVES to insult my music. They call Chris "that Cornball guy", and my padre refers to Phil Anselmo from Pantera as "Panhead". I forced my mom to watch some SG videos with me one day, and I asked her if she thought Chris was a babe. She watched the screen a little longer, and said "Well darling... he'd be alright if he'd just keep his mouth shut for awhile." AAAUUUGGGHHH!!! So then I turned off the SG and made her watch the Pantera home videos. Heheheh... she didn't like that. My brother listens to rap and country. And not even GOOD rap. He likes weird stuff. New stuff, I guess. I used to be a huge NWA fan, but he doesn't like them. Oh well... maybe I was adopted... Speaking of cool music... guess what??!!?? I just found out the grooviest thing!! I'M going to get to see JELLO BIAFRA on Saturday night!! He's coming into town to support some political campaign... and my friend Ezra's band is going to play... so I'm going to get to MEET JELLO!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm SO excited!! Are there any other Dead Kennedy's fans on the list? Oh wow... this is going to be SO cool!! Ezra said Jello is going to speak for awhile, and then he's going to do a few DK songs!!! Bliss!! Ummm... to make this Soundgarden related, I remember reading somewhere that Ben got to meet Jello one time, 'cuz Jello liked Ben's band's name "March of Crimes". And now I'M going to get to meet him!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Another thing... I've been e-mailing MTV like crazy trying to get them to make some video clips of SG or CC available for download. They've got one of Eddie Vedder talking at the stupid Grammy's or whatever. And they've got AIC video clips. Hopefully they'll put "Pretty Noose" on there. Yah, I know... it's not a big deal... we could just tape the video on a vcr. But there's just something really groovy about having it on the computer. And all I've got is my notebook computer... so if I had the video on it, I could take it everywhere. Hey Seth... if they make video clips available, can you legally turn around and post them to the page? Oh, by the way... the CC poll is coming along famously!! I was SO right about there being lots of anonymous perverts out there. Man... some of y'all are even more twisted than ME!!! I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! Keep your responses coming!!

My whole bedroom is filled of posters of bands, every square inch.('cept for my skater dog, but that's a different story)then my mom walks in the other day, and says"Ipicked some nice flowers to cover your wall, so you won't have to keep staring at those people, those drugged-up high school dropouts." I spazed out right in front of her. My dad agreed, but I got my way. the only thing my dad likes about Chris is that he very very very very very very slightly looks like him, I mean VERY SLIGHTLY. That's what he says. Why can't they just accept my musical lifestyle, rather than wondering why I don't do "girlish" things. ------------------------------ From: Moonsta693@aol.com Subject: Re: Finding SOMMS How did you get that Mag?

Regarding the video clip of Eddie Vedder at the Grammy's: >is this on the AOL site or the internet site? can you tell me where it >is? i know, i know, eddie's not important to you, but he is to me. :) Ummm... I'm going to respond to this on the list, 'cuz I don't want to have to answer this same question multiple times. I love you guys, but I hate writing the same thing over and over and over... BTW... it would be really cool if you AOLers (and you people who want to get your grubby little paws on a SG clip) would start e-mailing MTV and demanding they make one (or more) video clips available. It's on the MTV AOL site. It says it'll take like 35 minutes or so to download at 14.4 bps... and it also said that if you're an Eddie Vedder fan, you'll love it. I personally wouldn't let my dog piss on Eddie's leg (and not out of respect for the man... out of respect for my dog)... but if you like Eddie... more power to you!!! If you don't have AOL, I suggest you sign up for it temporarily. You get like 15 free hours to try it out. That's plenty enough time to get all the Eddie/PJ pics and that video clip and whatever else you want. AOL may suck... but there are thirty million (well, maybe not that many) different music sites to get audio clips/videos/pix of rock stars from. Including SG stuff. Another amusing MTV vid clip I found was that "Raw" commercial thingy that has the old and decrepit Madonna and the old and bloated Courtney Love. It's great!! Oh... and you'll need Quicktime for windows (or Mac) to view the clips. It takes about a half hour to download, too. And it's a BITCH to find on AOL. But if you need any help finding stuff online, just let me know, and I'll be happy to help. Good luck!!

Ummm... well, if you want Eddie on Letterman... go ahead and download it. Ok... gotta get some SG content in this post.

"PRETTY NOOSE" It's wonderful - a bit of a step back to BMF, which makes me happy. Has a raw edge to it.. Nice voice echoes through out the song. I love the end where all the over play and sound thingy (I'm not a musician, loving one is as close as I come :-*) ) cuts out and Chris just sings straight out. There is a wonderful part with just instruments - Kim is so good. I wish I could explain it to you all like some of the member of this list can - just take it from a SG lover who has loved music for so very many years - this is goooood, DAMN gooooood... Carolyn my friend - it makes you dance, move, jump, you can't stop moving.. Drum's - you feel them, you can just see Matt beating the hell out of skins.. It's the type of music you like from the first note you hear until you the last scream... And that's how it ends with a beautiful "Yeah" type scream from his wonderfulness.... Yesssssss... It is so good to hear something new... Okay I'll be fine - I'll just play the tape a few more hundred times until I'm in control again.. Never!

I was in high school... scary though at that. Anyway, I was a fan of Soundgarden & just about the only one I knew... most of my friends loved Pearl Jam or Guns & Roses... & thought Soundgarden was a lesser band. That's not my point (c: I'm straying. Anyway, I didn't have a disc player back then. I first got mine in 93... for my 18th birthday. (thanks Dad) So, I had a tape player... SOMMS wasn't released on tape... I didn't think SOMMS would sell out all 100,000 (which sounds like ALOT to me) so I figured I'd get it later... when I got a disc player & could actually 'hear' it. This also locked me out of all those groovy import single DISCS available... (thanks to some wise boot disc purchases & soundtracks I managed to get all of Sgs studio tracks on disc) which I also thought would be available in a few years. How many import singles are outta print? I can get just about anything from the 90s on import EXCEPT Soundgarden.. oh well.. (c: I've been searching used shops since late 93 for any imports/SOMMS... I'm still searching. I need a copy of Goldmine... Ray happy thought of the day: Things aren't too bad... atleast we can hear Soundgarden just about any time of day we want!!!

I agree. I had to wait three months between buying the tickets and actually seeing the pumpkins here in brisbane. but I can't see any problems with a quick little whirlwind tour or australia :) I think that they will play festival hall (maybe twice) around the start of june, but it will suck if we have to wait until sometime in september to see them. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: can I outpost moonsta?

It's very polished and very confident. SG would be severely lacking without Matt Cameron. That's my opinion.
