Subject: Randall's Review!!!

Well after leaving at 10:00 am from Lewisburg, PA I went off. Sorry Vikki if
I missed you I didn't get the message until after I came back!!! Hmmm...
were to begin....

Well after what seemed like a week SG finally came on I was bit late to get
seats, although I still came 5 minutes before SG I had squeeze and could
only make 5 rows back!!! IT WAS FUCKING CROWDED!!!!
Well they opened with spoon, I know that!, but I forget the rest. Someone
threw a tennis ball at Ben, that pissed him off so he flicked the person off
and the whole crowd cheered!!! That was after Chris told everyone to kill
anyone they saw throw anything up on stage. Vikki where were you during the
concert, I was on the left close to the middle seperators. HEY SHROOM!!!
Chris took his shirt off for ya!!!(I thought of you when he did it! as well
as the thing Chris said about never doing that)
        For those that said that they liked SG better than Metallica at
Lolla, hmm.. I'd have to disagree although SG was great, they didn't have
the effects like Metallica. Vikki can testify for this one, I was 3 rows
back and after a pretty heavy song I thought Metallica was just getting a
breather and giving us one!!! Well after silence for a couple minutes all of
a sudden the fucken stage BLEW THE FUCK UP!!!! I mean the crowd was thrown
back a couple feet!!! the Bouncers had to get away from the front and move
back, there was a cloud so thick that you could'nt see through about 300
feet high, everyone couldn't breeth or see the smoke was too intense, fire
pouring upwards from the stage flares going up above the stage!!! I'm mean
it was so FUCKING GREAT I have to say it twice IT WAS FUCKING
GREAT!!!!!!!!!! then all of a sudden James started to play and a yellow
light shined on him from behind, still with smoke rising ( I don't know how
he could breath!!!

Well thats about it besides the fact that when I got home at 3:30 am my head
was still ringing!!!

              JUSTIN

From: seth <saperl@MIT.EDU>

I've been working on this Chris Cornell birthday celebration thing for
the Web page and it occurred to me that there's another birthday to be
celebrated only 8 days later...

This list will be one year old on July 28.

Party's at my place, people.

seth

PS - If anyone has any ideas for something they would like to see as
part of a Chris Cornell birthday celebration on the Web page, please
let me know. I've already put together some stuff that will help
contribute to senseless rock star idolatry, like a Chris Cornell
wordsearch, virtual birthday card, trivia quiz, and image gallery
(which contains what I consider to be some of the best photos of
Chris). If there's more stuff you want, tell me.

PPS - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when you create a
website for them, start a mailing list, go as far as soliciting ideas
for a Chris Cornell birthday celebration, and continue to insist that
you're not obsessed with Soundgarden.

Subject: Feeling Minnesota Soundtrack

Hiya everyone,

I was checking out some CD release dates, and low and behold, a movie called
"Feeling Minnesota" is coming out. It comes out on the 30th.  But anyway,
someone out there really must like Outshined to title their movie after it's
lyrics. Hmmm, maybe it stars Ben as the psychopathic killer who uses people's
heads as beer steins. And there will be pauses in the movie where Kim
explains on a cosmic level the imagery used and how it pertains to his cat. I
think I'm getting a bit carried away here. I don't know if Kim really has a
cat or not, but he could. And Chris is an exotic dancer who is obscessed with
people named after fungus. <That was for you, Shroom> And last but not least,
Matt is a cowboy in the wild west who is transported into present time. Yeah,
and he carries two clubs instead of guns. Hmmm, maybe I should go back to
bed. Ohh, how we all wish this movie was about Soundgarden, but no. We would
have heard about already it if it were. :( 

On his way to the assylum,
Aaron

To The Guitarist-2001: I'm going to the San Jose SWALLOWpalooza. (And I won't
be writing a review, because 1. No way I'm going to try to write notes in
that zoo of people and 2. It's damn near the last date of the tour, so what's
the point?) Let's try to hook up (anyone else going to that show??).

Continuing my fave train of thought thus far:

You might be obsessed with Soundgarden if the music store sales guy gives you
friendly shit for buying everything in the store that SG is associated with.
And then your face turns many shades of red.

You might be obsessed if you leave work early to read the SG digest.

You might be obsessed if you stay up until 4am reading the digest. Every
single night. And then have to go to work the next day. On 3 hours sleep.

You might be obsessed if your husband gives you shit for spending so much
time online and you feel guilty 'cos you know almost all of that time is
spent reading...yes, you know what...

You might be obsessed if you try to distract your husband while you're
downloading some picture of SG so he won't see what you're doing. (Please,
won't the screensaver come on now...)

You might be obsessed if yeah, you noticed Chris giving the Jacksons a
standing ovation the first time it was aired and you were personally
embarrassed by it, as if it were a reflection on you.

You might be obsessed if you're obsessing over this e-mail and hoping it
never gets back to the spouse.

Is there any hope for us??? Medication??? Electroshock therapy??? Please
advise.

If your and debt and can't go to Lolla, but your girlfriend feels so 
sorry for you that she pays for a whole trip knowing she'll also go 
deeply into debt, your obsesssed with soundgarden.

If you went up to everyone wearing soundgarden tee-shirts at lollapalooza 
asking if they are Grote or B.Kinser, your obsessed with soundgarden.

When you sit around and compare forks with other fans, your obsessed with 
soundgarden.

When you own 4 copies of the new vinyl and wont part with any of them, 
you are obsessed with soundgarden.

When your girlfriend says you look like CC to bring your spirits up, you 
are obsessed with soundgarden.

Subject: more obsessive stuff

Yeah, I know all of you people are sick of seeing messages from me, but I
don't care. I have a few more obsessive things:

You know you're obsessed when...

- -your dreams have soundtracks of SG songs

- -your 6 year old brother says SG is his favourite band because he's heard
their songs so often

- -you eagerly anticipate the end of commercials every time a DJ says "And
after this, Soundgarden" even though you know you've heard the song a
million times

- -you consider buying DOTU in the jewel case even though you have it in
digipack already

- -you find it impossible to concentrate on anything while listening to SG (I
made a SERIOUS mistake studying for the math final to a background of Ty
Cobb)

- -you seriously consider reaching over the counter and throttling the guy
behind it when he says that SG are overrated when you buy one of their CDs

- -the people at the record store see you and say "Sorry, we still don't have
any new SG stuff."


I'll shut up now. No more posts today. I promise... Really.


But tomorrow's a whole new day.

Do I hear Aaaaamen!

You know your obsessed when you spend your Saturday hitting every used
CD shop and record store looking for SG stuff at a reasonable price
for other members of the SOMMs mailing list who are obsessed with
SG....  And enjoying every second of it...

You know your obsessed when your friends and family ask you, "When are
you going to grow up and stop listening to that music".  And you say
"NEVER"!!!!

You know your obsessed when you buy side projects by SG members and
you don't care for it.  Except "Hater", love it.

You know your obsessed when you buy the tape and the CD for all their
music, instead of just making a tape from the CD.

You know your obsessed when you find that the CD Plus that you have
had for the last zillion months and doesn't work in your CD ROM at
home, works in the new PC you just got at work and you stay later
(very late) just so you can play it.

You know your obsessed when you tape only the parts of the movie
"Singles" that have SG in them.  Okay, I taped the AiC part too -
couldn't pass up Jerry now could I..  :-)

You know your obsessed when you keep listening to a SG song even when
it reminds you of someone you love and they no longer love you..

Sorry, but you've lost me there. It was good up to that point... but then
your message just kinda stops flowing like it used to. Chris found out he
was a sex symbol a little bit after the release of UltramegaOK. He got a
little bit shy after that... but still left his shirt off and left his hair
long.

If anything... he used the goatee as a way to try and hide his appearance...
a la Badmotorfinger.

He hardly promotes it. He's married. He's in love. He's not a womanizer or a
one-night-stander. It just kinda happened to him. But now he's just calmed
down a lot... but he was trying to hide the image back in UltramegaOK's days.

Oh... and if you weren't aware... Louder Than Love was a metal parody album.
It pokes fun at each and every piece of butt rockin', devil worshipping,
womanizing, alcohol abusing, coke-snorting, poor white trash rock star out
there - mainly with Big Dumb Sex, but the whole album in general.

If they would have gotten their way, it would have been more clear to the
general audiences, but A&M had to subdue it a bit to make it appropriate.

How so? He's been covered up entirely for about four years now. He had no
clue he was a hotty until it was brought to his attention in an underground
mag in 1988 or something. And I've seen pictures of Chris live, he doesn't

     Thanks Aaron!!  =)  Umm... I wonder how much Chris would charge for a
lap/table dance... 

>HEY SHROOM!!!
>Chris took his shirt off for ya!!!(I thought of you when he did it! 
>as well as the thing Chris said about never doing that)

     Chris is stripping for me?  Whatta guy!!  Heheheh... I'm just hoping
that it's totally hot and humid for the July 25th show.  If the weather is
anything like last weeks, then he'll HAVE to keep his shirt off for the whole
show!!  Oh wait... Susan Silver is probably reading the digest, and now she's
gonna get Chris to keep his shirt on for the whole show.  Ummm... I SWEAR TO
GOD I'M HARMLESS, SUSAN!!!  I'd NEVER EVER look at your husband as a sex
object!!  And if he ever came up to me and said "Hey Shroom, let's get
naked." (yah right, like THAT'S ever gonna happen) I'd smack him in the face,
and tell him ABSOLUTELY NOT!!  (Heheheh... does anyone think she's buying
this?)  ;-)

- - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when you find a magazine that has
SG in it, and you have to buy multiple copies, "just in case something
happens to the original."

- - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when you're at a party, and you
feel this incredible urge to check your e-mail... just so you can get a quick
SG fix.  (Like RIGHT NOW).

- - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when your very best friend asks
if he can borrow one of your SG bootleg CD's, and you laugh in his face.

- - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when you take your most treasured
SG collectible (like the Screaming Life orange vinyl), and you put it in a
safety deposit box so nothing happens to it.

- - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when your local indie store gets
their new catalogs in, and they automatically order SG stuff for you without
question ('cuz they've been informed like 30 million times of what you
already have).

- - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when someone compliments the
band, and you take it personally.
"Man, that Soundgarden song ROCKS!!"
"Why, thank you!!  Thank you very much!"

- - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when you can spend almost 7 hours
straight on the phone talking to another obsessed person, and never stray
from the topic of SG once.

- - You know you're obsessed with Chris Cornell when you start getting mail
addressed to "Mrs. (Shroom) Cornell."   (Thanks to my friends for that one)

- - You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when you spend hours and hours
attempting to play a SG song on your guitar, even though you know that no one
would ever be able to recognize it but you and maybe another obsessed fan, if
you were lucky ('cuz you suck so bad).  I TOTALLY suck, swallaw AND gargle at
the guitar.  Just thought you people should be aware of that.  ;-)
