You realize that you do all the things other ppl belive you do when you're obsessed with Soundgarden. This one goes to all the spanish speakers, estas obsesionado con Soundgarden cuando haces tu mejor esfuerzo para escribir en un idioma que no es el tuyo, mensajes que tengan un poco de sentido. You travel 1900 milles to be at Lolla, just to see the band live for the first time in your life (I'll be at the Atlanta show!). You're going to study abroad and suffer a lot because you're going to miss, not your family, not your friends, but your messages from the list during a complete month of vacation!!!. I really will miss you all. (Sorry for the long post) Cuidense hasta mi regreso. Mariana.

Cyn ------------------------------ From: COCHRAN_BONNIE/SBCTC@ctc.ctc.edu Subject: Kim & the Presidents Heard another snippet of news on the radio (either KISW or KNDD, I was switching back and forth) while driving into work late this morning. They said Kim was messing around in Bad Animals studio with the Presidents doing a "drunken session" and they did a cover of April Wine (i think, i was trying to really hard to remember before my mind got cluttered...). So they said you could be sure that copies of that tape were floating around in Seattle and one of the deejays would be out there searching to get his hands on one. That ought to be a nice little addition to someone's SG collection. Hopefully the deejay will have success soon. I'm getting to people at work with my obsession. Yesterday, a friend asked if I'd be interested in a magazine she had that had an article on SG (July US). I lashed out and reprimanded her heavily for even having to ask such a question. This morning the first thing I see when I come into my office is the mag opened up to the wonderful two page pic of the guys on my chair. She's learning!! Later!

Well kiddies... in ONE week, I'll be at Lolla... waiting for SG to take the stage. Ummm... I promise I'll try my hardest to drag my eyes away from Chris for a couple of minutes, so I can check out what the other guys are wearing and doing. I can't promise a set list, though... sorry. But I WILL be dragging a disposable camera into the place with me, so I can fight my way to the front and try to get some pix. They'll probably turn out like shit... but at least I'll have 'em.

Soundgarden and tool, what a dream... that reminds me of something. the first time I heard chris sing never the machine forever, it reminded me of tool and their song sober. not the whole song (because they are pretty different tunes) but just the part where he sings 'follows me down the river, shadows me through the sky...'. it sort of sounded like when maynard (of tool) sings 'there's a shadow just behind me, shrouding every step I take...'. the connection is probably only a product of my skewed imaginings, but kim was having trouble with the lyrics for that song, and he is a tool fan, so maybe the connection may be there; even if it is only subconscious. ------------------------------ From: j_crocke@unity.ncsu.edu Subject: packages received so far, i have received: Caryn Rose's Brandi Roach Erin Schowalter Nadia Standard & Rachel Quoi and add mine in their too.

Aside from Ben's taunting to the I'm glad to see that ben has not lost any of his vigour with respects to live shows and audience reactions. I'm sure that by now, with his punk-type attitudes in mind, he has become tired of being seen as the opening attraction for what seems to be 'the metallica and friends music festival'. it would be disheartening to go out on stage and use up huge amounts of energy, and then find the audience hasn't moved, except to yell "play enter sandman". but my question is: did he spit on anyone? :) for australian listers, I heard from a fairly reliable source that the screaming trees will be here some time in october. it would be wonderful if soundgarden happened to make it down here at the same time, for what would be a great double bill - or a triple if you include you am I :) also to brisbane listers (and I know there are a dispropotionate few of us here), skinnys got in some new sg shirts yesterday. they have the pn picture on the front breast in a cool silver silhouette, and a huge pn disc on the back. at 25 dollars, not a bad deal at all. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: LAWNMOWER MAN Subject: Props for SG Hello everyone. I'm new on the list, so I won't make too big of an ass of myself by ranting about SG quite yet. I just wanted to write and give a few props for Soundgarden concerning their Lolla performance. I read what others have said, and I agree the most with Greg Bensimon. I was at the front of the crowd by the time SG went on. Nothingman and I went down at like 6:30 in the morning and were at the raceway by 10:30. That left WAY too long before any decent bands went on to just roam around. But anyways, the crowd was hell during SG. I got kicked in the head so many times I lost count. Being tall is no advantage when people are crowd surfing. I had gone primarily to see SG, and they didn't disappoint. They music was great. Boy, was Ben pissed. I ended up watching him more than everyone else, just because he was funny. Chris was really intense, and Kim was just kinda there. He was funny, too. Someone hit him with a bottle, so what does he do? He moves up on the stage. Unreal! I think SG may be getting tired of being the "opening act" for Metallica, but I saw Chris on MTV saying that Metallica was pretty much the reason that they were doing Lolla this year. SG absolutlely rocked. It was worth getting crushed just to be that close. I wanted to stay there for Metallica, but I knew I would die, so we got a bit further back. Metallica absolutely rocked. The music was incredible and the band was lively. The opening set for One was a literal blast, as pyrotechnics went rampant all over the stage. It was good to see Metallica play a show with all hard material, basically. I was a little scared they might be softening up in their concerts, too. Back to SG, they did a great job musically. I wish Ben would have been slouched over like he was on Motorvision and that Kim would have moved more than his fingers, but I don't care. I got to see Soundgarden!!! Woo-hoo!!!! Anyhow, it's cool to finally be on the list. Chris PS The shirts are finished. I saw them, and they are pretty okay. They look good for the design that was decided upon. Nothingman should mail them soon, I think, but I'll let him do the talking. Later! ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: but you can't grow feathers in the rain...
