Down on the Upside on Vinyl Dotu and PN ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Eric Gardner Subject: DotU....finally Tower came through, amazingly, and was selling the vinyl at midnight on Monday. I was at the front of a small line (maybe 7 or 8 people). They had 30 copies of the lp, which makes me wonder about published reports of DotU being limited to just 1500 or 2000 copies. There are 5 Tower stores within an hour's drive, not to mention the numerous other chains and independents _just in this area_. A&M wouldn't exaggerate, would they?:) ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: YIPPEEEEEEeeeeeeeee I GOT IT! woooOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo we didn't leave for tower until 11:15 -- ya know, *every* time i have gone for a monday night midnight thingy, there have been like 8 people in the store. but tonight we pull up and have to fight for a parking place and the line is wrapped around the building. they were doing a posies in-store too, but i didn't think it'd bring out that many fans! we kept asking if there wasn't a separate line for the SG people, but they kept insisting that there was only one register and one line. they also had to keep announcing that the cd wasn't out tonight, only the vinyl. at around 12 the line started moving forward s-l-o-w-l-y. *yawn* and then 10 minutes later, mr. tower records walky-talky guy walks down the line going "is anyone here NOT buying the posies?" and my hand flies up, he asks me again, and takes about 8 of us straight inside the store! anyway. i got *two* copies, so if there is ANYONE who gets shutout or can't find it, please email me privately and it's yours. sg fairy at your service. btw, i can't believe it's only 1500 -- perhaps its 1500 for canada only, or maybe 15,000? 1500 seems mighty tiny... ? also -- i have *TWO* side three labels! anyone else have this problem or do i have a collectible? really glad she currently has no neighbors above or next to her, - --caryn + ------------------------------ From: Andrew Dunn Subject: Re: DotU....finally At 02:41 AM 5/14/96 -0500, Eric Gardner wrote: >Tower came through, amazingly, and was selling the vinyl >at midnight on Monday.

Then the ppl asking the questions (yeah SG fans from down here) Said 'It's australia, of course you can' then it was 'Well fuck, J fucking J, motherfucking J radio fucking rules :) ahh damn funny stuff :) The band is a classic gotta love their sence of humor :) New songs sound awesome, might check out the vinyl tomorrow :) Listening party thursday night in Brissy :) seeya Lee _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ SONIC E-mail ar303921@student.uq.edu.au Turn it UP and Play it LOUD!!

If you aren't sure who he is, read the May 30th edition of ROLLING STONE ragazine, Rob Boy reviewed DOTU. I'm not sure if we all heard the same broadcast of the Premiere but the one thing I remember, at the moment, is that Chris was asked how he got his voice to sound sooooooo cooool. Chris said, " I really don't know, I don't think about it... I mean I don't gargle with razor blades or anything...I just sing and not worry about it." Oh, Chris!!! Talented, no drugs and he doesn't even gargle with razor blades, he truly is the man of my dreams. Gail ********************************************************************** "I love it! I love it!

I got there, and to my suprise, they actually had several left, and they didn't look like they were going to disappear anytime soon. I mean, as soon as you went up the escaltor, there they were in plain view. Hundreds of people had been walking by all day, right past them, and there were still some left! Like I said, there were several left, so if any of you who are out in the boondocks want a copy but can't get one, send me an email, and I'll probably be able to get you one. Oh yeah, mine was $8.

I'll use one to play and the 2nd. one will be left wrapped,the 3rd. one is for trading or selling.Wo,I am so excited. My brain is mush right now.I just left a windows95 training class.This mourning,I could barely,pay attention,I was so anxious to leave and get the new record. First,I went to Where house records,only to find out that they ordered only 1 copy and some one had already picked it up.But I did get some free postcard with the Dotu picture on the front and the back has some writing on it. It says "out may 21,Hear it at 1-800-556-rock (code 905) and a couple of web addresses.Imusic.com and Rocktropolis.com/soundgarden. My friend at Marshall Music also ordered me The import single Pretty noose.I told him to make certain to get the 4 track version with the interview.

If not, here's some information graciously submitted by SP fan Mark Greene: I don't know if this is big news in the states but it's headline stuff here in Ireland.There seem to be 10 versions of what happened in the papers and i'm sure mtv might exaggerate it i thought u guys might appreciate a first hand account of what happened. The gig started off well enough with Filter playing their popular set. The first suspicion we had of trouble was just before the pumpkins appeared on stage.I was close enough to the front,heat was unbearable but u expect that,but it was far too packed and people were getting a little nervous. The first song was 'where boys fear to tread' which went down well,but already first signs of serious crushing were evident,with multiple nosebleeds etc... .however the real damage everybody agreed occured during the 2nd song,zero.It was unbeleivable,huge crowd surges and lots of falls, and i don't mean just a few people,a mean large sections of the crowd,it was during this a 17 yr girl was critically injured. After zero the concert came to a halt for about 10 mins with Billy pleading with the crowd to stay back and let the injured out.They promised to 'play forever' and 'until your ears bleed' if the crowd would just calm down and not mosh.You could here Billy saying something along the lines of 'mellow out' to the band,and they played 'to forgive'.Normality seemed to be returning but a few songs later Billy issued another warning that if moshing and crowd surfing didn't stop altogether that the concert would be over. They played cherub rock,but after it,it was obvious that they had received news of how badly that girl had been injured and they just walked off.a few minutes later they emerged instrument-less.Billy said that it was over,and that he would personally sit there and wave goodbye to everyone until the place was empty.D'arcy was particularly upset,"Do You know that there is a girl back there who...... " she didn't have to finish her sentence we knew what she meant,the place cleared out quietly. It's just been announced on the news that that girl died,as james said "It's just a rock concert,not worth dying for..... " The concert was held at 'The point' in Dublin,aprox 8500 there. There were a few reasons for this tragedy..... (1)There must have been loads of forged tickets..... it was just too packed,it was crazy... (2)There was no age limit,i mean,i saw kids there who must have been 10/11. (3)However one of the worst things was the presence of metal partitions in and amongst the crowd..... Why couldn't they have had protective padding around the metal????? They are a good IDEA because they stop the tidal wave effect of a large crowd,BUT the only way the effect is stopped is by someone crushing up against them... (4)I've heard the pumpkins mention this...... When a band gets big,they attract undesirables...... Last night there were loads of 'concert-heads' who turn up for the mere fact that it was a concert,and the opportunity to stamp on some heads and break bones 'legally'.... The ticket system that SP have introduced in america may be annoying to some people,but it prevents the psychos from attending.... we need a system like that here.... We all know the pumpkins will never play Ireland again..... It's such a tragedy,they themselves said that the 2 Dublin shows they played last year(I was at one,there were only about 1000 people at it, pure fans.)were among their best.... Mark Greene Dublin City University soma@nurse.redbrick.dcu.ie c1mgreen@compapp.dcu.ie Needless to say, this is an incredible tragedy, not just because someone died at a rock concert, but especially because it could have been prevented with proper security measures and by holding venues responsible for injuries caused by the immaturity of the fans. Because of this, we at The Smashing Pumpkins Web Site are going to launch a net campaign to bring a halt to "moshing" and "slam-dancing" in all its forms. Watch this site for future details. ------------------------------ From: teeger@mail.utexas.edu (Krissy) Subject: new music! key word is happy Hi all! I used to be a list member last year for a while, but unsubscribed a few months back. I just wanted to share my happiness with all of you -- I'm listening to Down on the Upside RUGHT NOW -- it's spinning happily on my record player. Sweet sweet vinyl! Anyway, I didn't get to record the release/interview/Rockline special last night, but I'm sure many of y'all did, so I was wondering if any of you would have pity on a former list member and send me a tape of the show?

When asked if Kim really made Billy Corgan cry, they said that he made him call his therapist all night. They were making fun of Billy Corgan a lot. When asked which of their earlier stuff they liked best, if any, someone said Gish and then someone else replied in a high voice "Don't say that, it'll make me cry" and it was funny. You'll just have to trust me. It may not seem funny now, but it was. They were also "Dissin" Perry Farrel with a capital D. When asked about how they felt when they heard that Perry Farrel was leaving lollapalooza because it was so mainstream, they said HE was mainstream and that he was capitalizing on other bands. They also mentioned how it was nice to sell millions of records and not be considered really "mainstream" by most people. AND (there's more!) they challenged listeners to come up with another song that uses the word "firivorous" (sp?) which is in Never the Machine Forever. Before that was an hour where they played a bunch of rarities, including Come Together, Fresh Deadly Roses, and Exit Stonehenge (really cool). Some interesting facts: No Attention was going to be on Badmotorfinger, but it didn't sound right, then it was going to be on Superunknown, but it still didn't have that "live" sound. Tighter and Tighter was also going to be on Superunknown, and they play a dobro on Burden in My Hand (I think it is). My favorite songs on DOTU (slang!) so far, Dusty, Never the Machine Forever and Rhinosaur (although I don't like the solo). fisto!

I went to that lame SG listening party last night. I think I was the only real SG fan there. Everyone else (all preppies) showed up for the free drinks, and talked through the CD, and videos. The music was heavenly, the Rockline thing was groovy, and I got toasted. I'm sure they showed the PN video, but I don't remember it at all. I DID see the video for "Flower", though. It had some good footage of the band at the beginning and end of it, but the "live" footage kinda sucked. There was one shot of Chris' face in profile that just about drove me crazy. He is BEYOND yumminess. Anyway... I took like thirty million posters and cards. Oh, and they gave us those little CD insert/book thingys that have the lyrics in 'em. So now all I need is the freaking jewel box and the CD!! I'm about to go and pick up the vinyl, and Request magazine. I STILL haven't seen Pretty Noose!! Damn me straight to hell. But I'm going to make another trip to my bud Shane's place in hopes of seeing the thing. Ummm... what else? I'm finally caught up with my e-mail, I THINK.

NO> Ok...Of those of you that have only listened to the Rockline thing. NO>Which one was your favorite song??? Mine was Never the Machine forever. NO>Dude, that song made me say: "Pretty Noose who???" NO>Well, that's all, C-y'all in the Superunknown!! =-) My favorite last night had to be Blow Up the Outside World. But, I just got the vinyl, and I listened to the first record. I heard everything up to Never Named, except Ty Cobb, just because I wanted my mother to hear Blow Up the Outside World, and then my dad came home, and the only record player in the house is in the same room that my dad's favorite TV is, so I had to leave because my dad is big and scary and tells me what to do and if I don't do it, it hurts. He brought me into this world, and he can take me out, and it doesn't matter to him, because he can make another one look just like me. So I figured I'd record it on tape tomorrow and not argue. I REALLY wanna hear Ty Cobb, though. That's only becase I skipped it. So anyway, my favorite song would have to be Zero Chance, although I like Pretty Noose more and more every time I listen to it. And I like the guitar in Rhinosaur, but it should be harder...I mean, it shouldn't be as clean as it is. And I haven't heard any Chris wails. Louder Than Love had a lot of those, and the other albums have had enough, but this one just doesn't have any, so far, anyway. There better be at least one, or I'll be pissed. I'll have to...ummm....listen to it more. Yeah, that's it. And I must not notice solos too much, because I've heard Rhinosaur a lot, and I haven't heard that solo yet. Isn't that the one that was critisized because it was too butt rock? Oh well. Nothingman -I have nothing to say. ------------------------------ From: "Mailman" Subject: Down on the Upside on Vinyl Guess what guys, today is May 14th! That means today the new Soundgarden LP comes out, and today I got it! After calling most of the record stores in my area, I finally found one that had two copies left. As fast as I could, I was over there and was buying both of them. The new album is awesome! It might be their best one yet. While I was there, I was also luckey enough to be able to pick up a copie on the Pretty Noose box single with the poster. That is really neat, too. However, I had a couple questions. 1) On the single, it says Limited Edition. I was wondering how limited? 2) I know that you all have been talking about how both singles say number 2 out of a 2 cd set. Then sombody came up with a number one, but there is still two numder 2's. Does that mean that there are two number ones? 3) And finally, is the vinyl really limited to 1500 copies, or did I read it wrong? Any help would be very much appreciated. thanks, - -Mailman ------------------------------ From: onefellswoop Subject: Dotu and PN I finally saw the entire Pretty Noose video today on MuchMusic; it's the current buzzclip, which means HEAVY ROTATION!! The video is amazing!! The colours and shapes and the way they flow and shift is incredible. I am promptly going to email Mr Kozik and tell him to go with the video thing. The video is unedited. I don't see why it is edited. The "murder" scene" has the chick lying on the bed, under the covers. You can hardly tell she is there unless you look. MTV is completely backwards. I'm listening to the US radio show right now. They just played the Canadian one. I will make some audio files for Seth to post as soon as possible. Terry David Mulligan is also interviewing Chris and Kim on the next MuchWest. (3:30pm Sunday) I saw part of it on FAX on monday. I will make clips of that interview also. Also, I'm not sure how many people know, but you can order the Vinyl version of DOTU from CDNOW. I have a copy ordered from there, and the local Musiplex called me tonight to tell me they have a copy on hold for me for tomorrow! So far everything I've heard from DOTU sounds really good. I can't wait to play it LOUD. That's all for now. Everybody go out and blow up the outside world.
