Soundgarden was easy to get into, (esp. BMF-first one I bought) but it took many listens for them to emerge into favorite band status. I make it a rule now to listen to a CD at least three times before thinking about selling it to make sure I don't get rid of a diamond in the rough just because I wasn't hooked on it from the first listen. Sean ------------------------------ From: Greg Bensimon Subject: Charles Town Lolla For those of you planning on going to the Charles Town show, it would be cool if we could meet somewhere either before or during the show on Tuesday. I plan on being up there at about 11:30 or so, and I'll be driving a green Ford Bronco with a tan top. (That ought to be the same as finding the proverbial needle in the haystack, but you never know...) So, if you're interested, let me know. Maybe we can plan a SOMMS meeting place. Greg Oh yeah, I'll be out of town from Friday until Monday night, so if I don't respond to someone quickly, don't be discouraged. Leave me an e-mail, and I'll respond by Monday night at the latest. ------------------------------ From: Daniel Ladle Subject: Just An Idea! Dear All, I don't think this has been suggested before and I've been on this list on and off from a couple of months after it started I think, I know Seth already has absolutely bags of work to do, but he did say that the site should be almost twice as big by the end of the holidays. My suggestion is that I think it would be cool if there was an interactive page that had all the albums/songs etc. so that we could all leave comments about what we think of them. This would be good for a couple of reasons, firstly it would mean that there would be somewhere we could go to to find out if an album/single/whatever is worth buying (obviously if it's Soundgarden it is), but it would also mean that it then wouldn't be necessary to mail the list to ask peoples opinions, they'd be there already. By the way I think that the Chris/AIDS post was both unnecessary and immature, the arguments for it were weak and I think it should have been kept personal (sorry SHROOM). See y'all Love Dan ------------------------------ Subject: New pix on page From: tonerkin@usa.pipeline.com (Tonerkin) Now Seth, you're telling us that the new picture on the page is Eddie Vedder kissing Chris.

I bought a Lollapalooza shirt (black with a multicolored ball on front, bands on the back) instead cause I didn't really care for the Soundgarden shirts this time out.

I have been getting the digest for about a month or so...belevie it or not I had _NO_ SG albums when I subscribed, just had heard friends' CDs and thought they were cool.

I think my current favorite song is zero chance, but previous to that it was dusty. Also, BIMH and of course PN are sweet. i've only had the album for 4 days so no deep thoughts yet.

Chris' vocals were clear & his voice was incredibly strong. Caryn & Bonnie were up front for the show & they both said it sounded muddy from the front row. Since it's a small club, where you were standing could effect the sound quality. The show was a warmup for lolla, so it wasn't as long as a normal sg concert where they would be headlining. There's a copy of the playlist on the seth's webpage. I've herd sg play at the armory in new york in '94 & that sounded horrible.

Burnett" Subject: moshing and other noise first, the other noise...i was recently in florida on vacation, and i found a little record shop down there....inside, i found two interesting pieces of vinyl....the ultramega ok (complete with inlay art and pictures), and the outshined single on vinyl...it was very cool looking....it had the badmotorfinger designs on the record, and a picture of the band on the back of the record, complete with a plastic cover, with the soundgarden band name logo.....it looked so interesting, and it seemed like a collecters item, but to my dismay, i only had ten dollars....so i went with the ultramega OK...did i fuck up? someone with some knowledge of the outshined album please let me know.... second, in regard to "moshing"--which IMHO is the cheesiest, most played out word since "radical".......i have a wide range of musical taste, and i go to lots of diffeerent concerts.....the epic struggle in arguing about mosh pits is pointless....everyone has to understand that moshing, alternative music, flannels, and all else, is not original. its original within itself, but the concept of music shaping the kids is TIRED......the same as breakdancing, michael jackson, the talking heads, the breakfast club, downtown julie brown, madonna, parachute pants, vanilla ice, mc hammer, warrant, "hair bands", motley crue...... FADSFADSFADS and fads are bred from insecure adolescents who do what's "cool" to fit in....people who can't think for themselves....the typical genre of a high school person.......remember when greg brady turned into a hippie and turned mr. brady's den into his "pad?" same thing........ point being, the jock head fucks, insecure dorks, and greg brady's of the fucking world, along with every reformed new kids on the block fan is at these shows, doing the breakdancing of the nineties....they don't know any fucking better..... in conclusion, the make my point, one of the best concerts i ever went to was the green day concert at the riviera, a few years back, before dookie came out......the entire chicago punk community was there...and in unison, i might add......the worst show i've ever been to was the green day show in chicago at the aragon, about 8 months after basket case caught fire.......thousands of pea brained little shits, and doofus football players killing each other, all for MTV (green day "jaded in chicago"....remember) it just goes to show how society often breeds ignorance........

Nothing > shows the a person's IQ more than their actions. i read erin's review yesterday and, having been back in this country for only a few years, asked chris, 'um, is this like a new thing to do at shows?' i know it was 'accepted' at metal shows in the 80's, or so i hear (and saw the one time i saw GNR at a stadium show in London), but i was at a frickin' *radiohead* all ages show a few months ago and girls were doing it. what exactly is the deal here? on the one hand, it's like, okay, is this an expression and assertion of sexuality? i mean, guys can take off their shirts whenever they want. some grrlpunk bands (tribe 8 in particular) take off their shirts when they play and encourage the audience to do the same. i mean, i'm not trying to equate the two here... one is equality between the sexes, one is stupid women trying to get attention the only way they know how, take off their clothes. (on the other hand, like tribe 8 said the last time i saw them where the venue forced them to put their shirts on, 'women can only take their clothes off when a man's making money off it...') and when i saw iggy pop back in may the grrl next to me took off her shirt the minute he came onstage and i thought it was cool. ;-) argh. inherent contradictions, i'm just full of 'em lately! i'm really trying to understand this. if there's any girls on this list who think this is cool to do, please write and explain to me why. (PRIVATELY!) oh, sg content: yes i would be pissed too erin. there was this bimbo sitting on the steps on kim's side of the stage at the showbox, who was doing this strip-tease kind of dance with a towel as a prop (she was sitting down) during 'fell on black days' and i swear i wanted to walk right across that stage and smack her across the face. i mean, she was trying to get *kim's* attention by acting like a hootchie? why not just try ben fer chrissake?? - --caryn ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: Nothingman's Phone Number i have a phone card with ten minutes of free phone time. mayor, since you did know nothingman and have had some exchange with him, i'd feel more comfortable if you did this. if you want, email me and later tonight when i get home i'll send you the phone card #.

Maybe I'm ACTUALLY Chris Cornell, and I just like talking about my sexy body. Don't you with you knew the truth? ;) Nah... I'm being watched by Silver Mgmt, 'cuz I'm deranged.

Nothingman if you really have a email problem and you just haven't gotten the shirts made yet. Please write me at: Muhammad Lee 103 W. 4th St. Bethlehem, Pa 18015 and explain the problem to me. In any event I would like everyone who ordered a shirt to respond to this message and tell me how many shirts they ordered, how much they paid and what kind of money order they sent. Meaning Postal, American Express, Other. I am also going to email Nothingman privately with my phone number and fax number. I am also going to write him tommorrow. If by next thursday we/I haven't heard from him. I suggest at that time we prepare to take action. It isn't my $20 that I am disturbed about, it's the violation of the trust of the list members. A lot of considered him a friend, and I just don't like the fact that someone may have taken advantage of the mutual respect and understanding we have for each other as sg fans. Seriously with all the flaming and bickering that has occurred on this list, I would like to think that as sg fans we have some consideration for each other and that we wouldn't take advantage of each other in this way. I know I have had some flame wars with people on this list. But I still have the utmost respect for someone who can appreciate the sg. Lastly I really hope that there is a legit reason why the shirts haven't been delivered. I think it was caryn who said a couple of months ago to be be careful when meeting someone outside of the list. I thought she was being a little ridiculous. Now I am not so sure. One more thing, it really isn't a paltry sum of money involved for the shirts. Think about it, approzimately 150 people wanted shirts. Say 80 of them sent money, lets say 1.4 shirts a person, thats about 11.20 each plus and average of +3 postage so lets just say $15 bucks each. That comes out to 1,200 dollars not a small fortune, but a decent amount considering all thats involved is a few email messages and checking the mail.

Yes, lust is a part of everyday life, but if you will die for your lust, you seriously need some help. IMHO, CC is not all that hot, but he is ok looking. If you worship him that much, that is sad also. If he was just another guy you saw in the mall, what would you say?

The first is the band Helmet's song 'In The Meantime'. The riff in that is oh so similar to 'Flower'. And also 'Everything Zen' by Bush, which has a part in it which sounds like the start of 'Let Me Drown'. Can anybody else see the similarities or am I just being nasty to these bands because they are inferior to Soundgarden? - ------------------------------------------------------------- Loosely or tightly Everything Fits Even The Wrist On Your Arm - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GD - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 180] ****************************************
