And from what I've heard, Oregon is left out too. So all the fine folks who wish to see the likes of Soundgarden will have to drive, walk, bicycle, swim, whatever to George, WA. Yup, not only will the people from Idaho and Montana be coming to George, so will the denizens of B.C. and Oregon.

The shirts that the guys are wearing alot these days with the "90"'s on them is from a company called Shine 90. They make some useless snowboard apparel and more usefull shirts and off-mountain clothes. Well, the gloves are okay. They also make some funky hats.

(Snowboarding) ------------------------------ From: RAINYDAY13@aol.com Subject: My idea of both shows Hello all! I finally got to see SG! The Lolla show was ok. I got a good seat in the grass for most of the day, at least I could see the stage!When SG came on, I moved up as close as I could without getting surfed on. It really pissed me off that everyone up front was there to party and roll over people, not to see the bands. But from what I could see Ben seems to be really pissed for most of the show. He kept cursing his soundman , he must've had moniter problems. Once he screwed up & everyone in the band just gave him a wierd look at the same time, it was kinda cool! Chris got pissed at some chick throwing bottles at the stage! ( stupid bitch!! ) And when they were done , they just walked off the stage! no goodnight, no see ya, fuck yall or nothing. But the music was pretty good! They only played for about an hour! I'll never forget it! It was my 1st SG experience. Monday's show in Atlanta was my 2nd SG experience! We got there early, so did all of Atlanta! I was about 20th in line! I got great seats once I got inside. I plopped down beside the fountain, between the flower pots(in case anyone else was there), & waited!! When SG came on the place was packed, most people there were not true SG fans. It was that obvious!! They had the same intro & opened with spoonman, just like at lolla. Most of the first songs were the same as well. Ben got pissed at the soundman early in the show. He kept making signs to him & spitting on the crowd. His mic went out once and also beat up his speaker. I have a strange feeling that either Ben is going to leave or his soundman will ...soon!! I heard Matt miss a couple of beats during the show! And once they all screwed up! Chris sounded great after a couple of songs! No shirt again! I saw skin twice in a row. I just can't handle that much excitment!! He wasn't wearing the fork necklace , no jewelry at all. He looked a little skinny, Pease eat more Chris. Come Home with me I'll feed you. hehe! Anyway Kim Jammed.It seemed like every member of the band was in competition with each other, it was weird! I think I was the only one there who knew every word to every song. At one point they got into a jam so heavy, the crowd was just dumbfounded, I was in heaven!! I was disappointed that they didn't play anything from Louder than Love or UltraMegaOK. Jesus Christ Pose was the best yet! If you missed the Atlanta show, you really missed out! Oh yea, on the way back to catch the bus, we met a guy that caught Matt's drum stick(lucky bastard)!Looking forward to SG experience3!!! Just thought I'd tell you all my thoughts! I looked for you other list people at the shows, didn't see you! I was wearing a metallic blue dot bikini top, & blue jean shorts at the Lolla & the cool SG tour shirt (with the weird face thing on it)& jeans at the atlanta show! Just in case you saw me there!! Bye yall!! Rainy! ------------------------------ From: UnknMan@aol.com Subject: New Orleans Lolla semi-review JUST got back from New Orleans (well I showered first) & I must say... Soundgarden surprised many with a great performance. Chris did very little talking despite introducing "My Wave" as something like 'this is a song about doing what you want & but bothering me when you do.' That's really about it. He griped at a fan & had security take care of him/her but I'm not sure what happened. All in all the band was in good spirits... Ben was his slinky-Gumby-bouncy self & went as far as doing an aerial with that famous guitar player one legged split which was cool. He was in the leather pants & a white tee. Cornell (shirtless the entire show despite very little heat) sounded superb except a small problem in "Let Me Drown" when he sings 'mmmeeeeee!' & Kim leads into his solo. Kim seemed reserved as ever all though he did walk around alot. Matt, well Matt plays drums so there isn't much he CAN do (c: He DID play as you'd expect: like one of the best drummers in rock today. They brought back "Waiting for the Sun" which was a definite highlight to the show. Me being the only kid in the pit that knew the song I was given the job of teaching the other kids when to jump & bob. It was cool. On another note: the pit was quite tame. I'd been in much rougher pits & I didn't see any blood this time with the exception of a torn eye piercing getting caught &..... removed. setlist in order: Spoonman SWMGEC Let Me Drown Waiting For The Sun Pretty Noose My Wave Ty Cobb FOBD Rusty Cage BHS (solo) Outshined Mailman JCP The sun went down right about when they did FOBD & that calmed the crowd down to the dramatic effect of very little crowd surfing. Didn't see any woo girls... saw 6 Soundgarden tees worn... didn't see many folks that knew the words. I was the ONLY one singing along to Ty Cobb (which wasn't very violent pit-wise) & saw few people that appreciated the solo version on BHS which I enjoyed. I'm happy to hear such an over-played song performed differently. The band seemed to jam alot more too... adding extra riff rotations in Rusty Cage, Outshined, JCP (as usual), My Wave (which was violent & must have lasted 8 minutes), etc. Anyway... gotta be at work in a few hours so... riding you all the way, ray (c: ------------------------------ From: The Guitarist-2001 Subject: Re: burden video...its awesome At 09:19 PM 7/14/96 +0000, Stella wrote: > They showed a lot of stuff that I was suprised MTV let >them show.

Good point. Being an Indian, I have faced harassment a lot. Now I have never been to North Carolina but I have friends who live there (who are Indian) and they routinely tell me that a majority of the people that they run into have a bias against them. This is just what they tell me. If that press report is true, then that girl should have left when Kim asked. I am giving Kim the benefit of the doubt. But waitaminit...what if the judge orders Kim to do two months of jail time? That most certainly would suck.

(if you really wanna know more, go to http://www.oceanstar.com/patti ). anyway, this message came through the list yesterday and i find that sg and specifically 'no attention' are being used to discuss a recent interview with patti. weird to see this elsewhere. weird to see the perspective of someone who doesn't know the band (he only has 'superunknown' and DotU), but obviously likes and respects them... anyway, i thought this might interest some of you. if you want to discuss this with him, please email him directly, since he obviously isn't here (though he asked for info on the list and i sent him to the web page [advertisement: http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden] to read the digests... anyway, here goes. food for thought if nothing else. on a related note, i found myself defending Kim on a terribly chi-chi, closed, invite only, super-super-indie-cred list i'm on for some reason. i don't know why, except i occasionally enjoy the discussion; i'm certainly not indie enough for these people. anyway, a discussion about kurt cobain's suicide led into a flame of sg and kim, which led into someone talking about kim's arrest and ended his post with, 'hoping for the death penalty'. stupid fuckers. i'm tired of indie cred. i no longer apologize for being mainstream; dammit, i know what i like. yeah i like soundgarden, and pearl jam, and fuck, i even like oasis. so shoot me already... - --caryn - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: babu@electriciti.com (Douglas K Penn) Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 22:23:30 -0700 Subject: Re: Arena (pt 2) This is the second half of my babbling response to Patti's recent Arena interview. Apologies to all Soundgarden fans, professional semanticists, and fellow Patti theologians. Douglas - - ---- How cute. Again, Patti deflects adulation. She doesn't really expand on this topic [fans' love of her] much in any of the interviews I've seen. Patti knows how the business works. Two or more songs from Gone again deal with how the record business sucks the blood and fire out of artists (GA, Summer Cannibals, About a Boy). It's off topic, but I've been listening to Soundgarden's new release. Compared to GA, "Down on the Upside" is very consistent. It doesn't really veer to far from what the audience is expecting. There are no "folk" songs on this album. As comparison to Patti and this interview, let me toss out the following lines : "I've got war on my mind blood on my hands And love on my head So open your hands open your mouth Let it be said You know I've got it made in my mind Don't waste my time it's not going to change So say what you want spit it out loud Into my face And I'll pay no attention (repeated 10-20 times) They're gonna tell you where to walk When to smile and just what to say They say have your own fun Make your own mind And don't make no waves But if you got a handful of change Don't throw it away it's gonna come So say what you want, suck all my Suck on my brain And I'll pay no attention (again 10-20 times)" - - --"no attention" Lyrics and music: Chris Cornell If you haven't heard this song, it rocks. It's a rocker. It kind of rolls and then slips into a sullen groove with the chorus, "And I'll pay no attention, pay no attention, no attention, no attention...etc.". To me, the song is a defiant stand against authority. somewhat cynical perhaps in it's worldview. paranoid perhaps. very dark. All these terrible things are happening to him, but of course, he knows what's going on, he's above it all, he's taking the high road. He'll just pay no attention. Pay no attention, rather than f'in bite your freakin' head off!! it's that kind of attitude. unleashed adrenaline. The early stages of a certain de-evolution, let's say, from a hard heroine habit to a slight beer and reefer dependancy. My whole point of bringing up this song and these two musical groups is their attitude toward rock n' roll and the music business. In GA, Patti sayz, referring to Fred: "fame is fleeting God is nigh we raise our arms to him on high we shoot our flint into the sun we bless our spoils and we're gone we're gone Refrain Here's a man man's own kin he turned his back and his own people shot him and he fell on his knees before the burning plane and he beheld fields of gold his land his sun and he arose his blood aflame the clouds pressed with hand prints stained" Kind of reminds me of "Pissing in a River". Again, a certain futility. Again, a story that elucidate a higher meaning. It's not her own story. It's like "Horses/Land" where she takes a wounded soldier, doing his duty to man and god, and transcends his experience. And this is where my vocabulary and academic training fail me. Both songs seem to talk about a certain futility, not being able to change the world. Not allowing the world to change yourself. Both songs have a higher road, of sorts. Chris Cornel of Soundgarden prefers to ignore the pain of life (the war in peope's head, the spitting in faces, the telling to walk, talk, etc.). And this denial _feels good_. In her other "rocker," "Summer Cannibals," Patti tells the tale about "souls a withering", "uummm what a treat", "just got too damn rough and I pushed away my plate", and then: "and said boys I've had enough and I laid upon the table another piece of meat [herself] and I opened my veins to them and said come on _eat_" So Patti sacrifices herself. Instead of feeding off of other people, she turns the tables, so to speak, and offers herself up for grabs once again. It's similar in sentiment to GA's closing lines: "Hey now man's own kin he ascends into the wind [sowing seeds] grateful heart grateful limbs grateful man he's gone again" Again? Will he appear later? There's an optimism here. A renewal. And again, I get lost on semantics here. The Soundgarden song "no attention" attempts to end on a similar note, but falls short: "But if you got a handful of change Don't throw it away it's gonna come [....] So say what you want, suck all my Suck on my brain" Enough for now. So when Patti deflects questions about adulation, this is what I think about. When she refrains from adding to the "punk priestess who adored bob dyan and all men" theory; this is what I'm thinking about. Cheers, Douglas PS: Hope this squeezes through sizewise.

Nobody's Rankings were the same as the final result, the only person who came close was Ray whose first 4 faves were the same as the end result's.

I'll try and keep this short since Kelly did an extensive review of the proceedings in Atlanta. I have to agree with her observations on the Underground. The posters for the concert should of read "soundgarden at the mall" It was a bit distracting to see people underneath the band buying overpriced Olympic souvenirs. Strangest concert venue I have ever been too! Think Soundgarden standing on an overpass on the interstate-the pit being the roadway and the rest of us being on the next overpass looking at them. That is what it reminded me of. Long Long Wait. Got there at 4pm (heard and saw the soundcheck through the fence very close which was cool and yes, close up Chris looked just fine in those black jeans!) Soundgarden didn't actually hit the stage until 9pm!!! Opening band sucked(lead singer called us cunts at one point that always endears you to people) Anyway, from where I stood left of the sound board right at the railings looking straight across at Chris-the sound was excellent. Highlights for me were BIMH, JCP and Let me drown. Chris's voice was in great shape, Kim's guitar clean and clear and Matt and Ben together on JCP were fantastic! The crowd around me was a mix of people age-wise. Everyone knew the songs in fact we had several sing-alongs on Searching, my wave, Ty Cobb and OUtshined. People knew both the old and new stuff. No pushing, moshing or drunks.... You'd have to be an old fogie CEO of a company to afford to get drunk at $4.50 a beer! The only bad audience members were these two woman with big hair and bad teeth that weaseled their way up behind me towards the end of the show. They both had the most obnoxious Minnie sue Mouse voices and the extent of their loud conversation was: "Oh Chris is so fine" " I'd do him, would you do him?" "to hell with my old man I'm doin Chris!" Don't hold your breath honey!!!! Overall, definately worth the trip!! A true endurance test standing in the heat for 5 hours before I got to see Soundgarden. That's the reason why us old folks sometimes stop going to concerts it's not that we are tone deaf all of a sudden or don't enjoy music anymore. It's hard to find orthopedic Docs and the corns and bunyons hurt standing that long :-) I'll on a roll anyone want to invite me on another road trip to see Soundgarden???? toni BTW: the Olympics were in Atlanta also.......secondary to Soundgarden of course but I did check them out over the weekend. Too much sports shit for me!!!! ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Road Trip...

Kim is really worried about that sort of thing--I read in Entertainment Weekly that he leaves the tv on, the bathroom light on and the bathroom door closed so they would think he was in there. "Just so nobody goes through my stuff," I remember him saying. It can really make a person act differently when something like that would happen to them--especially if they've gone through so many precautions to prevent it.

Croslin" Subject: Newport Lolla Trip Everyone was so prompt in their responses about Sunday's Lolla show in Tenn. I wasn't sure I should even respond, but here goes... I had fun. I'm glad I made the trip. Soundgarden is one of my favorite bands... but Sunday's show seemed flat to me. Like many of the other bands I saw on Sunday, it seemed like the SG was on a mission to get through that damn set list and get off the stage. To be sure, there were fine moments-JCP, Mailman, Rusty Cage and parts of of Searching and Ty Cobb all gave me those feelings of musical satisfaction. Spoonman, FOBD, Pretty Noose and Burden all sounded kind of forced. Their seemed to be a lack of chemistry at times between the members of the band and I couldn't discern much enthusiasm at the fact they were performing-it seemed a lot like they were going through the motions. To be honest, there were even some musically sour moments (vocal on Pretty Noose, Burden, out of tune sounds from instruments in FOBD). All in all, for me (and apparently the band) the thing was kind of a struggle. NOW... This was not an easy thing to write to 500 folks who treasure SG. I'll repeat again-Soundgarden is one of my very favorite bands. I'll be seeing them again. I realize that this was a busy weekend-between a birthday and an arrest and who knows what else and I can appreciate the effect that can have on a group of performers. It was also incredibly warm-another hurdle. But you know, I'm not here to make excuses for anyone or argue with anyone who's take on the show is different from mine. I am a well-experienced audience member. After over a hundred shows of rock and roll, I am happy that most have met or exceeded my expectations, which are not necessarily high. I go to see a live performance because I am drawn to a certain chemistry that I hear in the songwriting and recording (and no, I don't expect that live performances will match the record). What I saw Sunday appeared forced and was weak enough in spots that I wouldn't call it a great performance. It was O.K., not Ultramega O.K. I imagine I'll get burned for this, but I had to express an honest opinion...

First, I live in = Atlanta, and I was at the show here. The set list is as follows: 1. Spoonman 2. Searching with my Good Eye Closed 3. Let me Drown 4. Waiting for the Sun (Doors) 5. Pretty Noose 6. Burden in my Hand 7. My Wave 8. Ty Cobb =20 9. Fell on Black Days 10. Rhinosaur =20 11. Rusty Cage =20 12. Black Hole Sun 13. Outshined =20 14. Mailman =20 15. Blow up the Outside World 16. Drawing Flies=20 17. Applebite =20 18. Jesus Christ Pose Next, I also feel compelled to comment on the recent incident concerning = Kim Thayil. I say knock the bitch down. To many people let others = mistreat them. I agree that violence is not the solution to many = problems, but sometimes it is the answer to others. I seriously doubt = that idiotic drunks could have been reasoned with, and for that matter, = why should Kim have to waste his time standing around dealing with them = anyway. Especially after his room had been broken into. Those people = probably only knew that he was famous, not who he was, or what band he = was in. I do not think that Kim should have to apologize for wanting to = be left alone. If he were not famous, then what those people did would = be considered assault, afterall, they did start the whole incident. = Being drunk and stupid is no excuse to harass others, even famous = people. I say more people need to be beaten for their stupidity and = inconsideration, eventually they will all get the idea and change their = behavior. Mold the masses into a better conformity. Trisha ------------------------------ From: ThNrthFace@aol.com Subject: A call to action. Hello, Yeah, I was the one that said we should gang up on this Heather person (if you can call her a person). I think the whole wedding party should be slapped. They started this whole incedent, and it is their own fault. If they weren't assholes in the first place, this never would have happened. Yeah, violence usually isn't the answer, but some people will not understand anything else, especially in an innebriated state. So, if they won't back off, beat them off. People like this are usually animals. The last time I checked, animals didn't have the power of reasoning. It's like, when your dog/cat/whatever shit on the floor, you don't sit them down and discuss the reasons why they shouldn't shit on the floor, you sternly inform them with some actions or strong words that they messed up. See, they understand the body language, but not the language itself. If I was in that hotel lobby at the time, I would have jumped in and stood up for Kim, like most of you would. And if they wouldn't stop, I would bitch slap every last one of them. So unite, one and all, and join the Anti-Heather Mifflin campaign. 'Cause, "We want you." Damn, this heat is driving me insane. It's so hot, I walked outside and spontaneously combusted. Heheh, maybe I should go now. Ready to beat to hell anyone who tries to mess with Chris, Matt, Ben, and Kim, Aaron (the list thug) "Aaron, go beat that boy to shit, he flipped me off and took my picture."-Kim, words said probably at one time or another, but not in that exact order. ------------------------------ From: Moonsta693@aol.com Subject: Special Report:Kim's in Jail What I heard happen was that after the show in North Carolina, Kim went back to his hotel room, and found it trashed, with most of his belongings gone. he was harrased by drunk people from a weding reception, and when that girl tried to get a picture, of course he couldn't have been in the mood for it. she probably just pushed him over the line, what do you expect.

When I got back after reading my ton and tons of e-mail I came to the conclusion that I missed a real fun, controversial week with the sommsters. next, I was just curious which albums and songs are everyones faves. I have to say I'm in love with "Louder Than Love". It must be Chris' sexy voice or something. (I warn you skip the obsessive parts if you don't like it!) I think "Power Trip" is the very best song. The way Chris screams into the microphone turns me on. His voice sends me into another world, I picture him lying naked an a bed of black satin sheets, Just kidding.........actually I picture that all of the time! :) This one is for Shroom!!! I saw in a past letter you wrote about how Chris kissed Eddie, or something to that sort. Then you wrote you wished it was Dave Navarro. Oh My God, I really do think we are soul sisters! I think that would be so incredibly hot! Of course you know I am obsessed with Chris but Dave Navarro rates right up there babe!! Boy do we have impeccable taste! Hey you sommsters going to the Irvine Meadows show a week from this Saturday. Can you believe it is less than two weeks away? I have been getting so excited knowing that in a short time I will be seeing Chris in person as well as the band. Although I'm not that close I am going to try to bribe one of the security people to get closer, cause after all they are humans and I'm sure they wouldn't mind some extra dough. If not , at least I'm not in the lawn section. Who knows maybe I can pay off the tour bus driver to kidnap Chris and take him to a deserted wherehouse where I can seduce him, Shroom, I'll have to give you a call! Anyways,late, -Jessica Cornell ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 194] ****************************************
