If I could make a duct tape juicer or go to = > > hand luggage, maybe we might have something there. = well spoken, chris...well spoken... :) incidentally, for those who have read this interview-- 1) what's up with the song chris mentioned from his 4-song BHS demo..."sounds like days"??? is this a pre-title version of "fell on black days"...anybody who knows please share da knowledge...i'm betting it was a direct reference to a demented dream chris had about competing on "The $25,000 Pyramid..." "Ok, word number two...um...oh boy...this is a type of...uhh...it looks like a...ahhh....ok, the word sounds like days... ummm...yes, and it's is a brand of...uhh..." "BUZZ!!!" >;-> 2) is it just me, or did chris never answer the "boot camp" question of who it is talking on the intro??? he said how they did it (ran a tape through an overdriven radio) but he never said what the tape was or who was talking on it! i STILL agree with the folks who say it sounds like ol' ross p.... later... - -- ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

FOLKS: sorry to go into tangent-land, but if you're in the local record store in the near future browsing heavily in the "S" section, take the short walk over to "n" and look for nudeswirl's self-titled lp. you will not be disappointed. and heck, while you're in "n", hop over to "m" and load up on morphine albums, and as long as you're there, just... oops...sorry...i'm done. soundgarden is cool. :) later... - -- ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

Croslin" Subject: Goin' South Hey folks, My first post to this list was to ask if SG would be touring this fall. Despite answers to the affirmative, I can't wait that long. In the true spirit of rock and roll (and with inspiring stories from this list), I am making the 12 hour trek from Ann Arbor Michigan to Newport Tenn. to see the show tomorrow. I haven't paid my rent, and various other bills are being neglected in order to afford the rental car and tickets. As a matter of fact, we don't even yet HAVE tickets yet (ticketmaster said many tix remain-I hope they're right), but that is not stopping our little adventure. I'll let you know how we did.!!!!!!!

(c: Maybe I'll need a "BEN, SPIT HERE!" sign with a nice big target on it. SOMMS meeting update: If anyone's gonna be at the 23 July Lolla in New Orleans gimme a buzz. Lolla ticket prices: I was reading a Lolla info sheet at work & I see that $1 of the ticket price is given to charity... didn't say which one/s though. Probably the 'keep the bands in beer' fund or 'fix the stage lights Ben breaks' fund or 'keep the ticket prices high' fund. riding you all the way, ray (c: ------------------------------ From: endless_nameless@prodigy.com (GRRL NIKI FREER) Subject: fresh deadly rarities hey all. today i bought the "fresh deadly rarities" bootleg. it's pretty good, but i thought it would be even better than it is. does anyone know anything about the "day i tired to live" single? is it worth buying? what's on it? later, endless nameless ____ sitting here like uninvited company wallowing in my own obscenities share a cigarette with negativity sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes and drawing flies....
