G'day Sommsters!!! What is going on ? Having heard lots of things about the new video, I stayed up last night to watch 'Headbangers Ball' on MTV Europe, and sure enough, at about 00:30 they played the video for Pretty Noose :) But...... IT WASN'T THE RIGHT VIDEO !!!!! The video *I* saw last night consisted of the band, standing in a room playing the song, with a few flashing/moving coloured lights. That's it! It looked like it'd been done in one take, with a camcorder!!! I couldn't believe it!!! They were all just standing there playing!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON ? Could it be that MTV Europe have a different video ??? Please, someone tell me that they've seen it too !!!

THE URL IS http://www.mtv.com/ Seth.. i'm sharing :) jeremy ------------------------------ From: Michael J Sharkey Subject: video Readers, It's as if I have been touched by the Soundgarden fairy. The first time the "Pretty Noose" video was aired on MTV, I was at my girlfriends, about to go home when I thought, "I might as well see which Coolio video their playing." You see I had already given up hope that I would ever see the new video. As soon as I turned it on one of the VJ's was saying, "and now here is the MTV premier of Soundgarden's new video entitled "Pretty Noose." I literally jumped for joy. The video is incredible. What are readers interpretations. I think it's a dream that Cornell is having- he's sitting at the edge of his bed near the end, like he just woke up. Anyway, like I said, I have been touched by the Soundgarden fairy. After staying at my girlfriends house for about an hour to let the video and song settle in my mind, I went home. I made lunch, read the paper, and turned on MTV, thinking, "Please don't be Coolio." Well, it wasn't. It was "Pretty Noose" again. Withing two hours I had seen the new SG video twice! I couldn't believe my luck. I again jumped for joy. What are the odds? For the first time ever I praised MTV for playin the same video's over and over. But wait, it gets better. After that day I didn't get to watch much tv. It is finals week, and I have been studying-like you didn't know that. Anyway, last night I finally got done studying for my American Literature exam, which was at 8am the next morning, so I jumped into bed. Then all of the sudden, I got the urge to turn on MTV. What are the chances of it being on again, I asked myself? And guess what? It wasn't on. But, the VJ said coming up in the next hour, Blah, Blah, and the new SG video! So I stayed up the next hour.

Mark ------------------------------ Subject: European "Pretty Noose" video From: seth As some of you have pointed out, the version of the video that is showing in Europe is not the same as the one on MTV here in the US. Frank Kozik's explanation: "Yes, I forgot to tell you. The European 'powers that be' decided they could not use my video because it was too confusing and they felt people would not be able to tell it was Soundgarden. What they are using is an excerpt from a promotional 30-minute EPK done during pre-release of the new album."

I went to the local really cool music store tonight to beg them to sell me DOTU early, with no real hope of actually getting anywhere. I just got in the door when some guy says to me "Hey, we have the new Soundgarden record for you. We're holding it, but we can't sell it til Tuesday." And I was saying, "You're SURE you can't sell it to me til Tuesday??" And he was like "Well, I can show it to you" and he goes behind the counter and pulls out one brand-spankin new beautiful copy of Down On The Upside. He let me touch it and hold it, and it was the biggest tease. It was being in the same hotel room with Mr. Champagne (long story.. Actually it's not so long, I'm oging to Virginia next weekend with my school's marchingband, and I have a crush on my band teacher, Mr. Champagne.. Dammit!). And I said, "Are you SURE you can't sell it to me?" And according to my friend Johny my face lit up like the 4th of July (hehe) and he says "Well, I can try." And he called his brother, who owns the store.. waiting was madness.. Finally he comes back with the copy of DOTU in his hand and he was saying, "You gotta keep this a secret." To make a long story short, I GOT DOWN ON THE UPSIDE! I raced with it to Johny's house to tape it cause I don't have a turntable. I am the luckiest fucking person in the world. ------------------------------ From: Fleur Weinstock Subject: PN quicktime moovie: more specific address - -----------hey guys. so you don't have to swim through mtv shit to reach the soundgarden truth, you might like the more specific address: http://here.mtv.com/video/clip/s/soundgarden/noose.mov =========================================================================== From: j_crocke@unity.ncsu.edu To: somms@MIT.EDU Subject: PN quicktime moovie THERE IS A QUICKTIME MOVIE OF "PRETTY NOOSE" ON THE MTV 120 MINUTES PAGE!!!!

I'm with ya, sister. 2 great tastes that probably taste great together. I may have to give up boyfriend, home, and job for those two ;) I agree completely with blind dog's summation of the melodic music/icky pop music confusion that many people have. It's irritating, especially since I write music and it tends to be melodic, and in the back of my mind I know there will be many audiences who will interpret this as in some way...wussy. The great TRIUMPH of SG and a few other bands is their ability to write beautiful ear pleasing melodies that also kick you in the gut, satisfying that craving for loud guitar, bass, drums and screeching vocals.....I can only dream of writing such songs. jezebel alone at home tonight with her cheap guitar (which my roomate calls 'the guitar of ROCK' since whenever he picks it up, cheesy licks just spew forth.....his guitar is 'the guitar of surf'; also fun ;) - -Nothingman, don't be terrified of girls.

Walk into about 1/4 rooms at NCSU, and you will find a copy of J_>"Superunknown"... but hardly a copy of anything else. J_>yeah.. i think that haircut did something to Chris... Well, I know when I got my hair cut off my creativity disappeared. Not that I could even come close to Chris Cornell's creativity, but my creativity isn't in the musical area, anyway. I just love reading Chris' lyrics, because they're just so great. I can't figure out where he comes up with that stuff. I write stuff, but I always think it sucks, no matter what people tell me.

But if Chris Cornell killed himself, I doubt anyone would notice, except us, the dedicated SOMMsters.

After all there is only so much ground-breaking and innovation you can do without fucking up the great sound you have already achieved. DOTU may not be as vastly different as SuperUnk was to BMF, but it by no means 'just rocking out', it's very diverse and it's damn good. How are songs like Ty Cobb or Zero Chance considered to be Soundgarden doing the same old thing!! You have to go a long way to find a band that can write an album like SuperUnk. Why do some people seem to expect that the next album should be some amazing departure from this. The boys have found a great sound, who can begrudge them the chance to recreate it again in *some* of their new material. All I can say is this: If you hear any new song better than 'Blow up the Outside World' this year, buy the band that wrote it. Till then thank your lucky stars that you have an album, in DOTU, that sounds similar to and as good as SuperUnknown. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 121] ****************************************
