It was Lollapalooza, and Soundgarden was onstage... And the weird thing is, only three people were there.. In spite of this lack of an audience, Soundgarden played beautifully.. and they played Boot Camp and Never Named along with some songs that they played on the Lolla tour.. And then Burden In My Hand came on the radio and they all stopped playing and we all listened to it and then they started playing again. I guess this was cause they like listening to themselves when they're on the radio =) And I was bootlegging the whole thing, and the tape came out great.. and Ben was talking about Launch.. it was one of the most fucked up dreams.. but I was depressed when I woke up in my own bed.. Oh well.. It was still a pretty good dream. ------------------------------ From: Josh_Garza@teachnet.edb.utexas.edu (Josh Garza) Subject: Re: what the hell?!?!

However, another Sabbath cover would be cool seeing how good Into The Void is. Maybe Supernaught or Black Sabbath would be way cool! On the subject of SG covers, has anyone heard the Ohio Players version of Fopp cause I aint. Is it funky like the SG version or not? And what does Fopp mean anyway? Is it just a dance step or what? And did anyone get to hear their cover of The Beatles "She's So Heavy"? It was supposed to be cool. As for my SG unplugged set list, which they will never do incidently: 1. Burden In My Hand 2. Toy Box 3. Switch Opens 4. Fell On Black Days 5. Mind Riot 6. Somewhere 7. Overfloater 8. Black Hole Sun 9. My Wave (jazzy version! - a bit like Swing On This by AIC) I reckon it would soon unreal. With trumpets and stuff! 10. Power Trip 11. Like Suicide 12. Seasons (with the whole band playing as well) Well there ya go.

Now, I'm not a big fan of video bootlegs, but this one is just great. The audio is great, and whoever shot it is onstage, so you get closeups of the band.. Gun is kinda fucked up (which is the beginning song), but the rest of the bootleg is great. This is the best video boot I've ever seen =) Well, I'm gonna go and bask in my soundgarden glory =) ------------------------------ From: Stolen.Prayers@helix.xiii.com Subject: I realize I didn't say anything about DOTU singles but if I remember correctly, when you called that A&M 800 number thinge for Superunknown clips it let you listen to Spoonman, The Day I Tried To Live, My Wave, and Fell on Black Days.. and all those songs were released as singles.. Black Hole Sun originally wasn't intended to be released as a single.. TDITTL was going to be the 2nd single for Superunknown but BHS got a lot more airplay, so they went with that song for the 2nd single. So I think BUTOW for the next single, then Never Named.. that's going by the 800 number thinge.. unless another song off DOTU gets tons of airplay and SG changes their mind =) just my two cents and maybe some cheese, too chow unkind@cowland.com ------------------------------ From: Eliza J Polly Subject: shopping trip today, after lots and lots of digging in a teeny store, i finally found a never-before-touched copy of Fresh Deadly Rarities and it made my day.......just wanted to share the joy. - --eliza ------------------------------ From: oponfam@cnsnet.com Subject: Throat Surgery? Shroom asked if we thought Chris would have surgery if it was necessary to keep singing. I think he would. I don't think he'd give up his career if there was a way to fix the problem. Oh, I also love Shroom's idea of a blow up Chris doll, although I'd have to find a place to hide it from my hubby. Hmmm, wonder where that blow up stem would be. (sorry Seth, got carried away) I just got another idea for a product, but I better shut up. Hint: it would need batteries and would be an exact replica of....never mind. Geez, I need a real hobby.

Brian said: >Ok, kids, its official. The list is no too damn big! There are no not one >but two admitted attorneys on this list, (not counting Grote, who will >abandon yellow journalism for law school anyday). This is bad. While there >are a disproportionate number of lawyers in American society, there should >not be two attorneys COOL enough to actually have subscribed to this list. This makes me wonder what we as SOMMS people do. I know most of us are high school & college kids (like me) but even those kids often work. Me being the number cruncher statistic person I wonder the demographics of my beloved SOMMS. You know: average age, male to female ratio, persons under/over the 15-25 age group, favorite band member, jobs, spoken languages, percentage from specific countries / continents, favorite type of cheese, etc. Hm... if I were to set-up about 50 simple, 1-5 word answer questions would enough people respond to make my 'survey' valid at all? I realize all the non-N. American / non-Aussies (who seem to be the largest list voices) lurk & don't say much... would they spend the few minutes to answer my questions? Hm, probably not, but if you ARE non-N.American or non-Aussie & ARE interested give me a buzz. And if you are let me know too I guess. I'm just interested in communicating with the apparent list minority. Also I have a week off of school (FINALLY) with a broken down car (DAMMIT) so I'll be spending all my next 7 days at work or home /c: Um... -struggles for Soundgarden-related material- I sold a DOtU cd today (c: Or & to everyone that wished me happy birthday: thank you very much.

I can see it now: ben on lead guitar, matt on rhythm, chris on drums and kim on bass and vocals. that would *rock*. to frank, the idea of soundgarden merchandise is cool, but I think that there is another area you could be focusing your attention on - hater. I recently bought their shirt (with the cover art on front), and I think you could do a lot for them. maybe if they release something in the future you could see your way to working up some cover art or shirts or something? it's probably pie in the sky, but it can't hurt to ask. as for sg, I have only one idea for a shirt. I agree that their next line (commercialism warning here, steve) should focus more on their early history, stuff before superunk. of course that wouldn't be quite what management has in mind, but you could sell a truckload to us. my shirt would have soundgarden written in lowercase on the front of a white shortsleeve. the back would have a big bmf wheel (and as good as dancey's original is, maybe a new kozik rendition of the old favourite would be more than interesting?), with "ol' big bad ass circle of power's comin' to get you!" inscribed underneath. in the absence of a shirt bearing seth's papal visage, it sounds like a good list shirt to me :) lastly (primarily aimed at australian listers), I have heard from three separate record stores here in brisbane that burden is coming out *today*. I almost wouldn't believe two of them together (brashs and the record market), but brisbane's best record haven - skinnys - says that today is the day. so mark your calendars and shop around on your lunch break, because we could luck out. very lastly, to behold the absolute physical manifestation of soundgarden's music live and uninhibited, don't forget to tune into the dave letterman vs. jackie chan bout this wednesday. turn the volume down, turn up your copies of badmotorfinger, sit back and watch the drunken master himself run up some very high walls. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: holy bible on the nightstand next to me...

Hm... standard baseball style shirt - button up - on the back "T. COBB" and his number (I know numbers weren't used until the 20s in New York but at the end of his career I believe Cobb wore 4) - "SOUNDGARDEN" across the front in standard baseball jersey style with a DOTU-type lettering - a patch on the sleeve (the UmOK-era symbol) - road grey & no pin stripes (c: Color scheme should reflect the colors that highlight the DOTU album. I know, I know... this would cost ultramega bucks, but I like the idea (c: UGH! Just read Steve's post about the same dang shirt idea listed above. Oh well! the whole merchandising situation: I'll second the motion on no band photos; I personally like the Kickstand tshirt & that general idea. And I'm not for printing the band name... I'd rather people not know what my shirt relates to & them ask. I remember the looks I got all through high school wearing my generic black tee with "BAD RELIGION" in red across the front (c: I also like including song qoutes but not song titles. Also black & white tees are old, cliche & boring. I'm all for off-whites, tans, browns, drab greens, greys; I like 'dirty' colors. I like this idea: A shirt idea for Never the Machine forever would be great. The back could read: 'check mate, watch machine die' while the front could have an artist's rendition of the song / the machine / whatever. Something like a menacing metal dog with 'corporate America' (or whatever you think the machine represents) scratched on it standing on a chess board with a pawn about to 'take' him. The pawn could have 'Soundgarden' or something to represent it symbolically ('youth' maybe) on it in little letters.
