I know that I'm like the ONLY SG fan in Dallas... no wait. There's one more. But FINALLY I've found out about a damned listening party!! If, out of the 400+ other lister, there's more Dallas fans, listen up kiddies.... It's going to be at the Rehab Lounge in Deep Ellum (2614 Main St.), on Monday, May 13th (yah... one freaking day before the vinyl is released). Stuff they've got on the flier announcing it... (if this isn't coherent, fuck it... I'm NOT sober, just got back from the Reverend Horton Heat)...::::: - - Hear the NEW album. - - Check out the never-before-seen SHORT FILM. - - See every Soundgarden VIDEO made. (finally I'm going to see Flower!!) - - Be there to hear the band LIVE on Rock-Line. - - Win a Soundgarden CD collection, video collection, or short film. (I want the video collection, dammit). Then it's got a bunch of crap about winning a trip to Lolla. "Here's how... Prove YOU are the biggest fan by joining our scavenger hunt! Simply bring in any object related to any SOUNDGARDEN song... the more objects you bring, the better your chances! Examples: Pretty Noose- noose, Rusty Cage- wire, Loud Love- loud mouth spouse!" I WANT that video collection. Wish me luck, peoples... cuz I'm going to do everything I can to get it. If only they were having the freaking listening party at Trees. AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!! Ok...

Well, anyway, i ws listening to somms last night (imagine that) and i started thinking (wo...imagine THAT..) that maybe She's a Politician is about Susan Silver, but that's probly just my stereotyping... Well, see i had to make this message related to sg in some way. I'm sure that the people o this list don't want to read 400 goodbye messages, but i'm special ;) so....BYE EVERYONE!

So now, Shuster's sons are selling cars right on the road named for their father. The new Shuster Chrysler is also benefiting from federal highway funds that Congressman Shuster helped send to the district. It is located right at the junction of Route 220 and Route 36. And Route 36 is currently being widened in an $8 million project; 80 percent of that $8 million is federal money. The road-widening work is being undertaken by New Enterprise Stone and Lime, a local company that admitted last year to making illegal corporate contributions totaling some $69,000 to Shuster's campaign and agreed to pay a $150,000 civil penalty.

I just got my issue of Guitar today, n there was a lil blurb about Soundgarden in it. Here it is: Soundgarden: On The Inside Soundgarden's Down On The Upside had just crossed our desks at press time, and you should be able to pick it up in a few weeks. Recorded at Seattle's Bad Animals and Studio Litho over the course of 1995, the album is a lot noisier and more layered than previous offerings from Kim, Chris and the boys. Ranging from the wah-drenched first single Pretty Noose and blisteringly Beatlesque Never The Machine Forever to the ambient Applebite, the record clocks in at 66 minutes over the course of 16 cuts. Thayil, in particular, lets loose with psychedelic guitar and a wall of sound that shows a newfound level of detuned experimentation. Blisteringly Beatlesque.. thats the same thing they said about black hole sun.. - -overfloater. ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Listening Party From: tonerkin@usa.pipeline.com (Tonerkin) On May 03, 1996 23:16:04, 'Ben Timberlake ' wrote: >Well, I met my first fellow-lister in real life last night.

It is probably the loudest I will ever hear it. I glad you said this Ben I was afraid my old ears were to blame for me thinking that. Maybe it has something to do with us sitting 6 ft. from the big ass speakers. Although at times it felt like the music was crashing over me. It will take me several listens to be able to formulate an opinion on the CD. But I don't think I (or most of of on this list) will be disapointed!! There were cuts that just reached out and slapped me upside the head! Or was that you, Ben! >Really cool stuff: there were these promo posters all over the place, >sort of elongated versions of the album cover like you would find in a >music store. So I took one.

Why don't bands treat their fans to listening parties??! The only reason I got in is because I lied that I worked for a record store. The people there go for the freebies. Ben and I were probably the only rabid Soundgarden fans there and that's a shame!!! I think Soundgarden should invite us all to Seattle for a listening party and concert! The first annual Seth-a-rama, or Sommsapolooza. If they give it we will come!!!!!

I can't believe so many people hate Circle of Power! I love it! Dare I say it's my favorite song on the album. Ok, maybe not, but it's second only to All Your Lies. Hiro's singing is so bad, that it's good! Oh, love that riff. My friend, who also loves SG, made a wallet out of only duct tape. Isn't that so cool? Duct tape: practical...and elegant. When I was driving yesterday, I saw a hot dog shop called LITTLE JOE'S. They have Vienna hot dogs, and other fast food stuff. Great name, dontcha think?

Enrique Olavarria isn't able to transcribe all of the interview with Chris Cornell that lasted more than 45 minutes, and I don't have time to transcribe it. Chris speaks about the new disc, about why it has been delayed in editing it since the beginning, how they produced it, and he also speaks about his influences. In fall, they will come to Spain. In the interview, there were questions by fans of SG, and Chris's opinion on the discs of Smashing Pumpkins and Oasis. In addition, he chose 5 songs from the new disc for us to listen to during the interview (No Attention, Applebite, Pretty Noose, Burden In My Hand, and Dusty). It was fantastic. - ----------- Sincere apologies for any mistakes in translation.

It seems like there are a lot more songs on DOTU written in the first person than the other albums. It seems this would indicate that the writing has become more personal, and hopefully even more emotional. Not that it needed any more of that, let's just hope it's not too much of a good thing! 2. Some of the music from the listening party started coming back to me. I have been singing 'blow up the outside world' to myself all day. Of course, I can only remember bits of it, but I can't even come home from work and listen to the cd. I *really* need this album soon. 3. The boys definitely know how to begin and end an album. Pretty Noose, which most of us have heard by know easily lives up to Flower, Ugly Truth, Rusty Cage, and Let Me Drown. Boot Camp differs a little from other ending songs (esp. Like Suicide and New Damage) in that, it cuts off a little unexpectedly. But after a few listens, I'm sure it will make vastly more sense. -- Ben Ben Timberlake "The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est, Northwestern University Pro patria mori."

I have a paper > due on Monday, and I'll probably have to spend some time in the computer lab. > But I simply can't miss that video. According to Kozik, "It's going to world premiere on MTV Monday, and is supposed to go into 'heavy crush rotation' thereafter. Whatever the fuck that means." So if you miss the premiere, it sounds like you'll have plenty of chances to see it later on. seth ------------------------------ From: never.named@thenexus.com Subject: ????????? I was on the page tonight, and was pleasantly surprised to find the lyrics to the entire album on the page. Woohoo! :) But I was blown out of my socks to read about the Pretty Noose video.. how it's edited because the real version has Chris killing someone in it. Now, I HAVE to see this. I just HAVE to. Does anyone have A&M's email address? We MUST mail bomb them into putting out a videocassette with the Pretty Noose full length on it! (Or how about a video collection? Flower, Loud Love, Hands All Over, JCP, Outshined, Rusty Cage, BHS, FoBD, My Wave, TDITTL, Superunknown, Spoonman and Pretty Noose..
