(the paramount has seats along the back walls). it was my first time seeing soundgarden (and btw, the ticket was only $18, but with ticketmaster charges, it cost me *$24* in the end). they tried to do something different, they didn't succeed, and the fans suffered in the end. that doesn't make them a sucky band, or a horrible band, they just made a mistake. if they did it CONSISTENTLY, that'd be one thing. unfortunately, it happened to be the one show i got to see... have i made my point? thank you. - --caryn ------------------------------ From: Sugarcoma Subject: cornell [who else!] ok, on the credits to singles, it said "additional music -chris cornell" what exactly does that mean? sorry if it's a stupid question but i'm a stupid gal... please indulge me? *smiles* Justine "Somewhere in that ancient, mystic, trinity you'll find three, it's a magic number" -RSH- "close my eyes really really tight and i'll make it all go away, and i pull the trigger and i make you all go away...." -RSH- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: matt, ben and kim perhaps...

I think its on the other resources page. What happend was (i think) Jeff did the designs for the citizen dick album cover and he made up all these song titles, and then as a joke Chris made them into real songs. And two of them being Seasons and Spoonman. I watched Singles tonight on TV and it sounded like all the Citizen Dick songs were sung by Andrew Wood. But I'm not too sure since I've only heard about 2 MLB songs. ==================================================================== stella / \ /\ | |_| / \ \ \ / /\ \ http://www.fix.net/~srogers _\ \tell /\ \ srogers@fix.net | | | / / \ \ \ / /__/ \__\ ------------------------------ From: Candy Haun Subject: Yes, Chris' bro is in a band! Hi! To answer your question, preety noose, yes, Chris' older brother, Peter is in Inflatable Soule. He is the chief singer/songwriter for the band, and actually, I think a couple of their sisters are in the band too. You can hear the family resemblance in Peter's voice, and he conveys the same type of emotional intensity in his music as does Chris. The music is quite different from SG it leans toward folk rock (at least to me), but they rock! Other people on the list are, I'm sure, much more knowledgeable about IS than I am. I have their CD "So Sad" and I've ordered the new EP, but haven't received it yet. I can try to make you a copy, but my tape deck is pretty much fried and I'm afraid it would be garbage. You can e-mail the band at SOULEFC@aol.com or their mailing address is: Inflatable Soule, P.O. Box 61132, Seattle, WA 98121. I ordered the new EP directly from the band and the CD cost $9.00 (tapes of course would be cheaper). If this doesn't work for you, let me know. I'll see what I can do. There are some other Inflatable fans on the list, so maybe someone else can help?! Well, break's over. Gotta go back to work! Candy ------------------------------ Subject: Re: molsongate...

I agree with you blind dog. And may I add that music should be a fluid, everchanging means of expression. We have discussed this before and no one wants SG to be like AC\DC. The singer dies you get a new one that sounds exactly like the dead one and go on making the exact same music. Kim, Chris, Ben and Matt are not the same people that wrote and played Ultramega or even Superunknown! We all change and hopefully grow as human beings. They also mature and evolve as musicians! You don't have to like DOTU as much as Badmotorfinger. But you have to give them credit for trying something different. I think they write and record to #1 please themselves and than hopefully please their fans. I just don't see them consciously trying to make *hot hits* toni BTW: maybe they did the Molson thang because the company promised Kim a lifetime supply of brews!!!! ------------------------------ From: Chris Mansfield Subject: Re: Pretty Noose Video and other stuff >Hey,.

It's really looking as if the Jammers >don't really want to realease a new album, their new album keeps getting >delayed and delayed. Soundgarden on the over hand know where their best >interests are, in their fans! yes, and do you understand *why* it looks that way? because music journalists make it look that way by printing every tidbit about pearl jam they can get their hands on. when ATN runs a story that pearl jam are *not* releasing a new album this year... i'm sorry, but that is news? since when is it major news that a band isn't releasing an album until the following year? how many scores of worldwide-successful bands wait 3-5 years between albums? and how many times do you see a major news story keeping tabs on every aspect of a new record by them? yes, it happens. there are exceptions to every rule. but go back and skim the number of pearl jam headlines of ATN's back issues over the last 5 months or so. it bordered on the ridiculuous considering the band wasn't doing anything except writing and recording during that time. can anyone here prove how long both soundgarden and pearl jam spent recording, mixing, and doing artwork for their new albums? no?... i didn't think so. even matt cameron can't answer both sides of that question. :) Chris ------------------------------ From: Candy Haun Subject: Chris and Peter's vocals > Peter and Chris have a bit of same vocal sounds, but Peter's voice is much more > in control than Chris.. Since he sings and writes first person more than > Chris, he comes across clearer, stronger IMHO. I agree, Peter's voice is more contolled. However, I like Chris' more unpredictable, wild-sounding vocals, that, at least to me, are more suited to Soundgarden's music. Actually, I'm not sure how much resemblance I'd hear if I didn't know they were brothers. Anyhow, they both have great voices. Is the whole family musically talented? Well, I guess at least four of them are. Candy ------------------------------ From: Ned Locke Subject: bhs experience I realize nobody wants to hear about this song right now, but here goes anyway. My area (D.C.) had the worst thunderstorm in years yesterday, complete w/ tornadoes and extensive power outages. I must have driven home from work at the height of it, through torrential rains, fallen trees and sirens all around. Now add to the mix "Black Hole Sun" blasting from the car stereo, and hell! open the windows for the full effect, so thunder can punctuate Matt's drums. It's an armageddon-like experience you won't forget, if you can get a storm that is. :) ------------------------------ Subject: Re: molsongate...

I always though we should send Kim one of those hats you see on the Home Shopping network, you know the one with two holders on each side and the long tubes that lead from the hat down to mouth area.. That way Kim could keep his hands free to keep playing, but still have his brew just a sip away.... And Toni, I too love that head movement he does, there a few seconds of it in Motorvision..

Yup.. I sure did.. :) It cost me a whole $19.65 (Canadian). I also got Ultramega OK. I wouldn't have found them, but Brandi (she's on the list but she just kind of lurks and never says anything) showed me where the SG stuff was. Here's a question, though... I saw 2 versions of the single for Fell On Black Days. One was in a digipack and had 4 songs (2 of them from SOMMS, the album version of FOBD, and a demo version of FOBD), the other was in a normal case but had 4 different songs (other than the FOBD studio version). Can anyone explain? I also bought Singles.. I got Hater, too.. Oh yeah, Brandi and I went and saw Cable Guy too. The song that they're playing in the car sounds like SG but it's not listed on the credits. I just needed about 10 seconds more and I could have had it.. All in all, it was a pretty SG day..

I'll stop hassling you now Dan ------------------------------ Subject: ATN, June 25 From: seth From today's ATN: - ---------- Soundgarden Jam For JAMPAC Hot show. Very hot show. Last Thursday night, June 19, things really heated up as Soundgarden performed a special benefit concert at the Showbox Theater in Seattle. Fans were dripping with sweat in the packed venue, but not just because the group was in top form. The air-conditioner was on the blink, and when you get 1250 fans into the Showbox on a summer day with no air-conditioning, well, things do get a bit sweaty. In any case, the show raised money for three charitable organizations: JAMPAC, the anti-censorship public interest group created by former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, the AIDS Research and Care Fund for Pediatric AIDS and Share Wheel, an organization that provides the homeless with storage lockers for their possessions. According to one of our ace reporters who was on the scene, the group really rocked the Soundgarden fans in attendance at the historic venue, where Duke Ellington once played. They opened with the Doors' classic, "Waiting for the Sun," and also slipped in a Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band number. As for their own material, Soundgarden delivered a powerful version of "Blow Up the Outside World," a ten minute or so jam on "Boot Camp," and wrapped things up with an extended version of "No Attention," all off their new album, Down on the Upside. A highlight of the evening was a solo performance by Chris Cornell--accompanying himself on electric guitar--of "Black Hole Sun." Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard was there digging the scene. And speaking of scenes, there was a big one outside the theater, where there were numerous fans who couldn't get in, and scalpers hawking the scarce tickets for over $100 each. - ---------- Of course, the concert was on June *20*, not June 19... seth ------------------------------ From: Paul Thompson Subject: Ty Cobb mandolin I confused Ty Cobb and Never In The Machine Forever.

Couldn't agree with you more Caryn, the majority of SG fans will not like I.S. Don't think because you love SG you should like or will like I.S.. I would suggest that if you are interested in I.S. - think about this first.. Do you like the sounds of "Seal" or maybe "Collective Soul". I.S. has a slightly more laid back sound, but I have been told they put on one great show, I would kill to see them... I also hear that Chris is a big supporter of his brothers band.. Jamie ------------------------------ From: j_crocke@unity.ncsu.edu Subject: right turn for those Chris Cornell buffs out there (i guess thats all of us), an example of how powerful his voice is is the song "right turn" no the 'sap' EP from AiC... Even in mid-song, when Chris is at the bottom of the mix, his voice still carries the song alot. Don't get me wrong, i think layne is a good singer as well (sometimes) and even Mark Arm does an excellent job on this song, i just think that Chris almost dominates this song.... my $1.26 worth jeremy ------------------------------ From: sfox@mailer.fsu.edu (Stephen Fox) Subject: snl >SG content, Seth, also mark on the SNL page, that performance was the >first time SG had been on network television in prime time... i may be >wrong, but i believe i am correct. > >"i could be happy, for the rest of my life with a cinnamon girl" - N.

I did the same thing, reading the archived digests, subscribing and finally making my first post. But before that first message to somms, I tested the waters by emailing to people directly and ended up making friends with those people. I've had a couple people rip apart some things I wrote. The first one really hurt my feelings. I let it go after I never heard back from the individual when I mailed them directly questioning if I had interpreted their meaning and intention correctly. The second one I found kind of funny, since I usually try not to say stuff that will offend. It got some stuff flying around, but I did not participate. I'm a "sensitive type" person and usually care what others think, but this "arena" has toughened me up some. I still care what my friends think though. This is my reason for being a member too. It might be safe to say that's why most of us are here. (No one to relate to, to get excited with about the up and coming SG related stuff, and so on.) I've met some fantastic people on the list, emailing them daily, etc. Some of us met in person last week at the Showbox (Caryn, Chris, Andrea, Toni and myself). The BEST show I've ever seen and the most fun I've had at a concert/show! Being with the folks I was with was half of that fun. It would NOT have been the same. <(If this has already been discussed, forgive me.) For those of you who are IS fans, the last song on So Sad is obviously about the Cornell family, and the little boy he talks about has to be Chris. I think it's interesting that Peter writes such personal lyrics, while Chris seems to intentionally avoid any personal revelations. I know brothers are not necessarily alike, but you can't help comparing. Has anyone else noticed this? > Definitely. A lot of the songs makes me think about the family. The lyrics to so sad the song "man sits inside a boy/boy sits inside a man", etc. seem similar to me, to the lyrics in never named "I look like a man and feel like an ant" and "I'm just a baby who looks like a boy." Right now I can't think of other ones, but there may be some. I think Peter may be more outgoing, but is also a real sincere and caring fellow. I don't know for sure, just a personal observation and opinion. Maybe that's why he can write in a more obvious personal manner. I really don't want to compare the two as people. Saturday night I had the extreme pleasure of seeing IS play at the Fenix (with Andrea again!) and, afterward, to meet Peter, Katy, Suzy and the rest of the band. I told Peter (all of them) how I've been trying to see them for so long and this was my first show and how great I thought they were. He was very nice and interested. The sisters were both very nice as well. I sat and had an extended conversation with Suzy on several topics. I mentioned being at the Showbox and she said, "I was there too. Wasn't it great?" Of course, I agreed, but I didn't want to talk too much about SG, since it was "their" night. [Funny side note: I did happen to say my husband doesn't like SG at all. And Katy goes, "Oh yeah, Tim Cochran. I know Tim Cochran." He's sort of an "infamous" type.] I just thought it was really neat that they are that accessible and really seem to care about their fans. I know they aren't huge (yet), but they do have fans and the numbers are growing. I just don't see that part of them changing a whole lot down the road. Who knows. I thought it was cool of them to be that attentive and responsive. So first thing at work Monday morning, I emailed them a thank you note. Something I just noticed: the similarity of coloring on their album covers. DOTU and so sad are both done with the black background melting into that orange/yellow color, with rippling water and shadowy effects. Even the band name (muted letters) and title (brighter color to stand out) appear similar. Oooo. The Golden Boy EP is all in gold/yellow with the band name in white letters on a black oblong. SuperUnk is all black background with the orangey faces. Its a real black/yellow/orange thing both bands have going on. Not z huge thing, I know. I can appreciate your "pain" of living in OK. I lived in Lawton for almost three years. What a change from WA. It really made me appreciate home when I moved back. Lost of trees, green grass, bodies of water, brown - not red - dirt. And REAL mountains. They had Mount John and it was a hill that you drove to the top with a parking lot. But yikes, the tarantulas, that was an eye-opener! Hey, sorry this got so long.

There whole purpose is to make money, and keep as much of it for themselves as possible. None of there intent involves keeping anyone down. If we lived in a work where the ceo's of the world would have more money by giving the stuff away they would do it. If we lived in a world where by making sure everyone had a job and everything they wanted would make ceo's richer they would make sure that happened. But the fact is the world doesn't work that way. If I try to make myself richer I am not trying to keep anyone down. I am trying to take care of myself the best way I know how. whether it's lions beating each other to the kill, or me having a better commercial then the next guy to sell my product it's the same thing. It may sound cruel and hell it is, but thats the way the world works I don't care weather you are a Lion, tiger or Kim Thayil. By sg getting paid to do a concert for 400 doesn't make them commercial. You want a general definition of a commercial? Something manufactured to sell a product. None of sg's music was manufactured to sell a product. Thereby it's not commercial. I want all of you to remember your favorite sg concert, from say ltl or ultramega, or bmf days. A&M didn't pay for it, it was paid for by you and promoters who pays the promoters corporations, remember that we you think to your favorite pre bhs sg experience. It's been the same the whole time. What makes sg non commercial is that it isn't made to sell. They go out of there way to exploit there music. Lets see here 400 people saw a free show. Sg got paid 250,000 to do it thats say after lights susans cut taxes. Rhodies, etc etc. Thats mabye 30,000 apiece.

I see I am not the only anxious one. Can someone/anyone contact nothingman? We have his address/name e-mail (therefore ISP who must have details) I am sure someone that lives nearby (does anyone?) could contact him. I mean I want to know what is going on before I give up all hope. Someone in the US near where ever nothingman lives call the phone company and get his number. Someone find out where is holiday is taking place please :) seeya _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ SONIC E-mail ar303921@student.uq.edu.au Turn it UP and Play it LOUD!!

From: seth > > are we going to wearing our somms tshirts in the near future? > > I see I am not the only anxious one. Can someone/anyone contact nothingman? nothingman contacted me today to tell me that shirts are...not done. it seems to somehow be my fault -- the red text doesn't show up brightly enough over the fork image, so i have to lighten the fork or brighten the text to increase the contrast. of course, it's a *bit* late to be telling me this, and at this point i would have taken a shirt with "somms@mit.edu" scrawled on it in magic marker rather than wait any longer... so i'm sorry everyone, i'll redo the image asap and make it available to nothingman and hopefully you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me. seth ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: are we going to see some somms tshirts anytime soon?

It was on the show on sound. They showed them in the studio remixing Kickstand. Anyway, I don't know if PBS counts as a network or not, but I was just wondering because of this talk about SG on TV... Just more meaningless info from me.

I think when chris starts singing, the song tkaes a hole new body and feels much more "filled" if I can say that. I guess that's because Chris sings with his stomach's full power while LAyne just sings with his lungs.
