Anywhoo, I wanted to go searching through al the downtown used CD stores. I mentioned to him a couple of times about how I was looking for the rare BMF/SOMMS and how the previous day I had just received my first copy form the Blessed SOMMS goddess. Anyhow, we were rootin' around this one shop, and what do I come across? Another BMF/SOMMS. I was pretty happy, then I found Gruntruck Push (cool album) Anyhow I was done. He bought the Best of Cream or something like that. Anywhoo, went biking and done some other stuff. When we got back to his place he asked me what SG was like, and I said pretty heavy. He wanted to hear it, so I played Jesus Christ Pose, then Rusty Cage. He actually like them. Blew my mind. He has never really liked really heavy stuff. Oh yeah, I also played Ty Cobb. He liked that too. Later all. Greg ------------------------------ From: jgrotelu@herbie.unl.edu (grote) Subject: thoughts on "burden"... hey all...here's a new thread for ya... am i the only one who has been surprised at the relatively tame radio/mtv play of "burden in my hand"??? when i first heard dotu, and still today, i feel that burden is by far the most radio accessible tune on the album. sure, butow is catchy and beatlesque and all, but i just don't see it as having the same mass appeal as burden. my roomate/bandmate isn't particularly fond of sg, but upon his return four weeks ago from a 3 1/2 month jaunt across europe, he overheard me listening to dotu (which he had never heard before). he rolled his eyes at most of it, being a more rootsy-rock lemonheads/gin blossoms type listener (oh well...:) ), but his ears did perk up during burden. he said it was by far the best sg song he's ever heard, and i caught him humming it the rest of the week. i could definitely understand the appeal...burden is one of the few true strum-based rhythm tunes that sg has...very different from most of their stuff. i also told my girlfriend the day after i bought dotu that "burden" was going to be one of her favorite songs of the summer...knowing that she really doesn't even like sg that much...and i was right. she LOVES it. after that, i was firmly convinced that burden could break it big because it's also one of MY fave sg songs ever, so it crosses some serious musical thresholds. (my girlfriend likes abba and the cranberries... *shudder* :) ) however, i wonder if i may be wrong... burden hasn't taken off like i thought it would. in fact, i'm already hearing butow on various radio stations (so soon after burden's release????) and am hearing the dj's give rave reviews to the tune. could butow be dotu's "black hole sun???". (incidentally, the "girlfriend factor" seems to indicate that the answer is yes...as much as she likes burden she LOVES butow) not that i care if it does or not, but the music biz is just so funny to me...i just laugh when i see what marketing can do for fairly average songs while quality stuff is laid to rest forever... i don't know...butow is a good tune and all, but i guess i just don't really have much of an ear for it. it's probably about right in the middle of my song preference rankings from dotu...but i just don't think it has the same texture and emotion of tunes like overfloater, t & t, boot camp or ty cobb. oh well...that's why i can't listen to the radio more than 10 minutes at a time, i suppose...me & top-40 just ain't a winnin' combo... :) later... - -- ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

Hmmm... my mom is pretty good about my SG thing. She can actually pick out specific songs by them (mostly from UMOK and BMF). It's my dad that I have problems with. He calls Chris, "That Cornball guy." And whenever I mention SG, he's like "Oh yeah, that band with those scummy looking guys in it. Oh wait... that's EVERY band you listen to. Heheheh..." And you people wonder where I get my sense of humor from. But the absolute worst is whenever I'm around my parents and SG comes on, my dad has to dance to them. I'm really really bad about announcing "HEY!! IT'S SOUNDGARDEN!!" whenever I hear them... it's like an instinct or something. And double damn me straight to hell... that's always my dad's cue to start his "Soundgarden boogie." He doesn't care if we're in the living room, in the mall, or in the middle of a mechanics shop... he boogies. And even though I seldom ever get embarrassed by anything... dad ALWAYS manages to make me blush. This is the usual conversation: me: "PADRE!!! Stop that RIGHT now!! STOP IT ALREADY!!!" him: "What's the matter, pumpkin? Don't you like Soundgarden? That Chris Cornball... he's SOOOOOO cute!!" AAAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!! Why me?!? Ummm... yes, I am stuck living at home again... yes, I am 22 and I should be out doing my own thing... and yes, I should be working right now... but dammit, I'm bored. Heheheh...

They are just plain fruit of the loom t-shirts with something printed on them. Anyway if we make more shirts in the future, the company I work for has expanded to the screen t-shirt business. They are good quality shirts too, I could just work out something with the company. That way I would just be serving as a liason not, holding any actual funds. All the money would go directly to the company. Plus we offer services similar to the kind you would find at a mailbox place. So there would be greater and more expediant shipping options available.

Cheese's wish covers gave me the idea to post a few of my own U2: Sunday Bloody Sunday This song only needed to rock a little more to be realy kewl when U2 did it. SG could realy make it rock! chris has the perfect voice for it. Matt's great at drumming the way this song requires it, very Loud!!! (think back to the Ultramega OK days) and ben would give it more bass, it needs more bass. It would be good, oh yes very good. Nine Inch Nails, Head Like A Whole Head Like a Whole is kicks! It would sound better more rock and less techno. NIN gets close in a few of there remixes but SG could realy fierce it up. Matt could drum the whole thing where NIN used sythisizers and give it that real feeling that it lacked (if you doubt matt could match a sythisizer beat for beat then listen to Jesus Christ Pose) Sponge, PLowed: As if this song needed help, it would just be kewl to here them play it Dire Straights, Money For Nothing: now I know at first glance you might think this a strange song for them to cover but if they slowed it down a little, gave it a new beat and a steady bass line, you would have a realy kewl song Creadence clear Water Revival, Bad Moon It needs to be a litle less country and a lot more rock. "soundgardenized" it would be much heavyer, with major distortion and a hard drumbeat. It would rock!!! Summer in the city, artisit unknown to me (I'm stupid) This would be the ultimate!, I've had this cover playing in my head all summer long. I don't know if thats the real title of the song but the words are something like "hot time, summer in the city, back of my neck gettin dirt and gritty" I could just hear chris wailing that out, maybe adding a few vocal fills like some "yeah's" or maybe some of his old, realy high "Whoooooooo's". Kim's playing lead and adding guitar bridges evrywhere while chris playes the rythem heavey. Ben's bassline would be something realy wild but still in tune with the rest of the guys (like on burden in my hand). I can just hear it! realy! I only wish I new the real title of this song and who does it... if some one could please tell me I'd be realy happy. ------------------------------ From: Neuromute@aol.com Subject: armegeddon Karen wrote: >You all will have to tell me about yourselves.

"escaping from jail" .. maybe i was dreaming i was kim thayil ? ..hmm does anyone in soundgarden skateboard or jump over fences?! :) curiouser and curiouser jenny p.s if you have recieved 2 similar (uh.. nearly identical) posts from me *Sorry* i got a 'delivery failure notification' so i reposted the same message.. ------------------------------ Subject: SG merchandise From: seth With the talk about the Kickstand t-shirt and having recently seen the Soundgarden shirts that were available at Lolla, I was thinking about potential Soundgarden merchandise for the upcoming tour/tours. If I remember correctly, the only SG-related stuff for sale at Lolla was the shirts, one with the DOTU album cover on it, and one that said "Tour '96-'97" or something like that on it. What would be cool to have for sale at the upcoming shows? Personally, I'd like to see some shirts with the old SST-era "S" logo on them -- like the one Matt wore during the Pink Pop festival -- since it was brought back this year with the PN video. I'd love to have a hat with that logo on it. What else would be interesting to buy? Stuff besides t-shirts and hats? Any thoughts on any type of merchandise and/or designs are welcome... seth ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 209] ****************************************
