Just because there was a NORML table doesn't mean they're into drugs. When I read this I had to drag out my trusty folder of magazine articles because I knew SG was (at least CC) not pro-drug. Here's what I found in the July 92 RIP: "I don't do drugs, and the band doesn't do drugs," says Chris firmly. "It's sort of helped us stay together. We all had, and still have, friends that do that shit. It just creates a different world for the person who's using. You can't really function or coexist in someone else's world if they're on drugs and you're not. It isn't that I'm necessarily a really together guy and that I can handle stress better than somebody who's using drugs, it's just that I choose not to do it. It's nothing but self-destruction.... "From eleven to 14, I did drugs every single day," Chris admits. "I grew up with the guys that had the nervous twitches and half their brains dead because of all the shit they did...To create alternate realities doesn't necessarily help you understand your own reality. To me, music is recreation. Music is my drug. I realized this at 15. I was lucky to see it then." Doesn't sound to me like someone who is into drugs. Besides, look what drugs did to Andy Wood and how that affected Chris. Sorry, but I think you're way off.

Just some useful information to pass along. If you are a college student about to have your Internet fix terminated for 3 months, and you live in the US with a computer and modem....take a look at JUNO. Juno is a free email company that is just starting up. They have a web site...I believe the URL is (http://www.juno.com). If you're interested in getting the software, email juno4@juno.com and you'll get an automated reply that tells you what to do. All the information you'll need is located in the email and the web site. So, if you dont mind being bombarded with ads...you can get free email. It sure beats paying the fees for a major online service. It will also keep you tuned into this mailing list for the entire summer!! :-) Lastly, configure your IRC software to: irc.webmaster.com port 6667 channel: #imusic This is the location of Imusic's new chat server. If you dont have IRC software and your browser is java compatible, you can download java IRC software from imusic's page.

From: Ben Timberlake Sorry that went out, here's what I meant to say: What do you think PN is about (apart from what the band has said)? I think Ben said it was like an idea that looks good at first, but turns sour. There's a lot of energy in the song. I'd be willing to compare it to "Mind Riot." In accord with what Ben said, I see the best example in the Genesis reference: Fallout and take the bait Eat the fruit And kiss the snake goodnight In that, Eve thought eating the fruit off of the tree of life would put her and Adam on a level with god, and would therefore be a good thing. It turns on her, though, when god banishes the first humans from Eden. The difference in that interpretation that I see is that Adam & Eve had been warned not to do exactly that. The refrain: Common ruse dirty face Pretty noose is pretty hate And I don't like What you got me hanging from Seems to blame someone else for the concept going bad (What YOU got me hanging from) I assume that he's "hanging from" the Pretty Noose. The "Diamond rope" and "silver chain" are examples of what materials the noose could be made of, I suppose, further enhancing their 'prettiness' In the end, the narrator decides he is done with these "Pretty Nooses:" I don't care what you got I don't care what you need I don't want anything A refusal to accept these wolves of ideas dressed in sheep's clothing. I think this change in attitude is further expressed by Chris singing the last two repeated lines of the refrain in the different, lower voice than he did the rest of the song. So, that's my interpretation. Doubtless, you've got a different one, and I would like to hear it! -- Ben Ben Timberlake "The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est, Northwestern University Pro patria mori."

From: Brydon Cheyney CS95 Hah, hah - after watching MotorVision for the umpeenth time last night I noticed a hilarious bit of camera work during 'Jesus Christ Pose' - Just before the first verse, you see Kim doin' a bit of a shake n' grind, while his head is flailing side to side like a rag doll! I think the band must hve picked on this at the editing stage as they replay it straight after! It's funny as fuck, far more than that bastard of a clown. It hs to be my favourite past of the vid! Well, I though someone might as well talk about Kim, even if it is taking the piss, as it's usually Chris this and Chris that, and in my opinion Kim is cool as fuck, I love his interviews - the guy is too inteligent for his own good! Also, Matt wears a Monster Magnet 'Spine Of God' T-shirt for the gig which is cool as fuck and shows the guy sure has good taste. I've been looking for the T-shirt for years and still haven't found it! Cheers BC ------------------------------ From: Holland N B Subject: louder than love HI all, It was my birthday yesterday and a friend of mine got me a SG double CD. It has Louder Than Love and BadMotorFinger on it. I'd never heard Louder Than LOve before and i think it is totally great. As a sort of reply to the how do you first listen to a SG album I'd like to say how I listened to Louder Than Love. First of all I put it on as loud as I am allowed (i can't play it too loud because i'm in uni accomodation and its exam time) and put it on repeat and just listened to it two or three times. Then i got my girlfriend and sat her down and made her listen to it (for some unknown reason she is not an SG fan). Lastly.....lets just say its NOT Louder Than Love :) Loadsa Luck Nik!

I have to recommend if you haven't done so, to call the A&M records line that I got from Seth's page, they have pieces of the new songs, they sound good, i can't wait, only 10+ days, woo hoo!! ------------------------------ From: Fleur Weinstock Subject: Re: what's pretty noose about? I think this song is a diatribe against greed. Eve succombs to taking the apple "eat the fruit and kiss the snake goodnight", the singer has been stealing things from the sky "i caught the moon today" and the "pretty noose" is "diamond rope, silver chain". But the point, however, is that the silver chain is in fact a noose. This song seems like it's a commentary on getting too wealthy, on having too many things: "i don't care what you got... i don't want anything." To go out on a leap, this song could even be a protest against the music industry, a middle finger in the face of people who try to lure true artists with money and other s**t. But, also, sg is on a major record label and has hit big time, so to speak, so in a sense they already being hung by the "pretty noose". ha..... what do you guys think?

So, at about 1030, Grote and I met outside a staple in our bar scene, Duffy's tavern. A nice Irish like pub. Comfortable booths, mostly wooden exterior. Anyway, we downed a nice frothy pitcher of Boulevard ale and talked about, what else? Soundgarden. Trippy thing is when we sat down, the intro to "Ugly Truth" came on. The gods of Slack smiled on us, as they played "Big Dumb Sex" "Ugly Truth" again and "Loud Love". They took "Superunknown" out of the juke, but they replaced it with LTL. My faith that that bar would never be turned over to chirpy frat boys who don't know shit about music was restored. Good talk, good brew great music. In essence, pure slack! Laters Peace Sean ------------------------------ Subject: Chris and guitar From: "Matthew Lawrence" I was just wondering about a piece of SG trivia.. Did Kim teach Chris how to play guitar, or what? I read that Chris played piano when he was young and we all know he joined the band as a drummer.. He was playing bass on Circle of Power, so he must've known something by the time of UltramegaOK.. BTW, a mate of mine met the bloke who was one of the people who taught Ben to play bass (he was a guitarist before joining SG).. Cool, huh? Matt ------------------------------ From: Mark Miller Subject: SG on crack? Although my policy has always been I dont care who or what the band does as long as the music is good I was suprised to hear SG was in a marijuana magazine. This is only what I heard so it could be completely wrong. Can anyone confirm they are for the legalization of pot? I dont think it is anyones business but their own as far as what they do, as long as they dont affect anyone else. That is why I feel sort of foolish for writing about that. What was more suprising to me was seeing CC smoking on that MTV interview. I had no idea he smokes. That cant be good for your voice but he still has the best one I have ever heard.

Bingel" Subject: $.02 to the digest There's been a bunch of interesting threads I've been meaning to reply to and haven't had the time until now...so here's my 2 cents.... 1. PN single - I finally heard it for the first time yesterday (I don't listen to the radio much). It's great. I'm going to Spec's to check the import section for it later today, and I'm *hoping* I can snag some kind of promotional copy at the A&M SG party tonight... 2. First Soundgarden experience - seeing the video for Outshined after school in 1991. I was completely mesmerized by the rawness and power and by Chris (I'm sure you can identify Shroom...he looks amazing in this video)...I had gotten away from harder music and hearing SG for the first time was amazing...it sucked me right in. I went straight out and bought BMF and have been a fan ever since. 3. I would have to say that almost every SG album I've bought has had to take a little time to grow on me. I liked BMF immediately, but it took a few months and a little rest for it to *really* hit me. Superunknown was a little like that too, and it was *really* hard for me to get into UltramegaOK, and to answer another question, my least favorite song is "Circle of Power", it sounds really unfocused to me and I don't care for Hiro's voice either. Everything I've bought since then I have latched right onto, LTL is brilliant and Screaming Life/Fopp I immediately loved, although it is different, older SG, it's still great. I'm really looking forward to playing DOTU loud, through headphones upon buying it. Then it will become staple in my car.

Hello! I'm here again to explain you how do the new songs sound like. First of all, last week I read the message from another spanish member of the list talking about "DE 4 A 3". Yes, this is the name of the radio program that broadcasted 7 songs from the new SG album, and an interview with Chri Cornell in London. This interview was made three weeks ago by the dj himself, during CC stay here in Europe, before the album comes out. I have this interview on tape, but it is translated to Spanish; I can write it to you if you want, but I'll have to translate it to English. Ok, that's one thing. Secondly, I have those 7 songs I told you before on tape too, and I listen to them many times every day (it's almost half of the album). Now, I'm gonna explain you how those songs sond like: (don't get angry BLIND DOG :) ) - -PRETTY NOOSE: As I read, most of you have already listen to it, but for those who has not here comes: In my opinion PN could have been included on Superunknown. The song sounds like a mixing of "Let me drown" and "Spoonman" (I'm sorry, I don't like to compare songs each other, but it's the only way I know to explain how they sound to me) - -RHINOSAUR: It sounds like a Louder than Love song, with the typical SG riff. The song is deep and slow but it has a quick part (like "Gun") in which Kim Thayil makes a quicky-wah-wah-solo. After this part the song returns to its intial velocity and it ends like that. - -ZERO CHANCE: It's a mixing of "Fell on Black Days" and "Like Suicide", you know, strange chords and arpeggios with a beautiful Cornell's melody. - -BURDEN IN MY HAND: It starts with an acoustic guitar, well, I think it is a banjo or something; then, this part is repeated with distorted guitars, bass and drums. The song continues changing from one part to another. It's like "Black Hole Sun" but a bit quicker. It has a melody so pretty that it will keep on sounding in your head for quite a long time and you won't be able to forget it. - -DUSTY: This song has two different parts: a sweet one with arpeggios and a hard one with a low riff. I'm not sure if it is "dusty" because CC repeats the words "Down on the upside" many times. - -NO ATTENTION: It's a fast song, with that punk style like "Kickstand". I don't know how many times does CC repeats the words "No attention" but, believe me, maybe a hundred times. The final part is the same riff but played slowlier. - -APPLE BITE: It's probably one of the strangest songs SG has ever written. It's very slow, it sounds like a thriller film soundtrack. CC uses a voice effect and the guitar plays 6 notes all the time, 6 notes (with some variations) that sound like a keyboard. I like it!!! I've heard another song : TY COBB, but i couldn't recorded it on tape.... Well, that's all for now. SEE YOU, BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ------------------------------ From: Nate Crosswhite Subject: Radio broadcast One of the local Boston radio stations, WBCN, just announced a 90 minute SG broadcast to promote the release of DOTU. The DJ said they would play several tracks from the album, as well as a live interview. He said it would be aired "Monday", but he didn't give the date, or a time. This sounds like the May 13 broadcast to me, but he didn't say "next monday", just "monday." Anybody else hear anything similar? This sounds cool, I'm going to have to get my tape recorder out and dust it off. Nate ------------------------------ From: Geoff Subject: Re: Cory I believe Cory was a dog of Chris's which died from Parvo-virus earlier that day.

The song mentions nothing to suggest that. In fact, the narrator sends a "message of love". To me it's just from the point of view of someone who has been walked on by somebody, possibly unintentionally, and finally does something to make the person(s) notice him/her.

Oh blessed be garage sales!! Yeppers... that's where I got it at. A garage sale! I'm such a sucker for 'em, if I happen to pass by one, I've got to stop. There's just something fascinating about poking through other peoples junk. Anyway... this lady had a bunch of CD's in a crate. Most of them were of sucky bands like Winger, Scorpions, Slaughter and such (funny... she looked more like the Barry Manilow type). Then at the VERY bottom of this pile, I found my treasure. SOMMS!! The case was all cracked up, but the paper was in great condition, and the CD's are mint. I asked the lady how much she wanted for it, and she said $4. AAAUUUUGGGHHHHHH!!! I couldn't believe it!! $4 for SOMMS? After all my frustration and looking? After all the times I mentally beat the hell out of myself for not buying it when it came out... I find it now, when I least expected it? At a garage sale in a podunk little town? How lucky could I get? I raced back to my car with it, and didn't even play it. I just held it in my hands the whole way home. I still haven't put it down. It's in my lap as I'm typing this. Bliss!! So now I can FINALLY be added to the list of SOMMS owners!! Thank yew... thank yew... Of course, I'm not going to stop looking for more copies of SOMMS. And if I find one, Nothingman... you have first dibs on it, 'kay? I am in SUCH a good mood now!! >First Soundgarden experience - seeing the video for Outshined >after school in 1991. I was completely mesmerized by the rawness >and power and by Chris (I'm sure you can identify Shroom...he >looks amazing in this video) Still my favorite SG video of all time, even if they did cut out the guitar solo. There's just something about Chris running around half-naked, and hanging from chains. It's got some GREAT chest shots in it. Ok... what's everyone's favorite SG video (have we already done this thread)? JCP is really great, and so is FOBD. Has anyone else noticed that Chris managed to throw sand in his face in both JCP and Outshined? That's gotta hurt the eyes. Yah, I'm babbling... deal with it. I also love the way he skips during Outshined, just like a little kid. I'd love to be a video director. "Ok Chris... now I want you to grab those chains, and lean backwards. Ok, great! Now I want you to beat the hell out of that log!! Good, good!! Now throw sand in your face!! Yah, awesome!! Ok, now I want you to... [* this part of the post has been censored for graphic content *]" Damn, but I'd be a groovy director. Anyone see when they put Outshined on Beavis & Butthead? I liked the comments they made about Chris. Butthead: "This guy looks like Jesus." Beavis: "Yah, Christ is cool." Anyway... I'm in such a blissful mood, I think I'll order pizza and stare at my very own (mine... all mine!!) SOMMS disks ALL night long. God bless garage sales and the frumpy old women who preside over them... Shroom "Damn, but that Shroom girl is one sexy babe!!" ~ Chris Cornell (Words not necessarily said in that order...) <~~~ my disclaimer ------------------------------ From: "Joseph A. Burnett" Subject: yum yums (drugs) as far as chris doing drugs: Interview of Chris cornell, Request Magazine, October 1994: "If it had been thrown around to me when i was 14 or 15 years old, if it was in my face, i probably would have done it. so it could just be a matter of availability. there seems to be a ton of it there, and everywhere else,t oo. it's easy to get, so people will get it. that makes more sense to me than some theory trying to make it some cultural trip that's changing.......with all the information people have about drugs and the effects they have on your life and what they do to you psychologically and physically, there isn't much excuse for somebody to be screwing around with them. You can't be naive about them anymore. you'd have to be almost a complete idiot, unless you're suicidal." Big Joe - --------O But it all makes such Sense to me i need room to breathe I work for the goals that i set Wasted time it weighs on my mind You can bet I can't wait one minute more - -----CIV ------------------------------ From: OponFam@aol.com Subject: Least Favorite songs >From: Brydon Cheyney CS95 >Yeah, I know this is a harder one to choose, but does >anyone out there >have an SG song they don't like - or more likely just >doesn't do much >for them? Sure, I have several. I've never cared much for Circle of Power and Head Injury. Face Pollution doesn't do much for me and I hated Black Hole Sun from the first time I heard it. Kathie ------------------------------ From: onefellswoop Subject: satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas It seems somewhere along the line I miscounted, but we now have 44 copies of somms accounted for on the list, plus 10 owned by friends of people on the list. So we have 999 946 more to account for. So go out and hit those garage sales! If anybody else has a copy, email me preferably with the word SOMMS in the subject. I'll only count genuine copies, and assume they are on CD unless you tell me. (there are some on vinyl I believe) A name followed by (+1) indicates that that person also know people who own it. I know one person myself. A number in brackets without a '+' indicates that they own that number of copies. Clear? I hope so. See you down on the upside.... (list of somms owners follows) The list of owners includes: Laughing Boy Kelly Christa Jones Seth (+3 including 1 radio-only promo) Chris Mackenzie euphoric Aaron Beyer Jennifer L. York (+2) B. Kinser Cornell Vikki Lee James Ingram Little Joe Blind Dog Stephen Fox (2) (including special somms-only copy given to radio stations) Myself (Geoff Kleemola)(+1) Dwayne Bryant Dallis Toybox Caryn Rose Chris Farley (2) John Freeman Eric Gardner HasNoName Audrey Hillyard Jizzwack Nate Crosswhite (+2) nancy e phend Eric Lanning OponFam Kerri Char Saracen Stuart Davies Alyssa Kent Alex (BrthRitual@aol.com) Darren L Kochersperger Kazam Ali Jamesetta Simpson Antvena@aol.com Clint Harris (2) (+2) Shroom -Geoff ------------------------------ Subject: listening party From: tonerkin@usa.pipeline.com (Tonerkin) Hello all, I owe this present state of mind to Mr. Ben Timberlake. I just got back from the listening party in Chicago. I got to go because Ben posted to the list and I was able to get in. I guess this is also a thank you to Seth for a list that brings people who would most likely never cross paths to meet and exchange ideas!! Anyway the CD was really loud and intense!! Maybe that was all the beers I had. But I told Ben he could do the review because I am not good at that shit!!! BUT I loved it!!!! and I need to go to bed! Toni ------------------------------ From: danabt@ix.netcom.com (Dana Born-Thomsen) Subject: S.F. Bay Area SG fans, listen up! Maybe most of you have heard this already but I just heard on 98.5 KOME that this weekend will be SG weekend. They are giving away advance copies of DOTU and will have a drawing next week. Out of the 50 or so album winners, they will pick one person's name and he/she will get to fly up to Seattle (airfare and hotel included), go to the listening party and meet the band! A chance in hell but worth a try! Well, good luck! ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 113] ****************************************
