Unlike 'Superunknown', how about we keep this to ourselves? Well, I know I look forward to singles mostly because if they're released on disc, then you often get b-sides, i.e. stuff you haven't heard before. We know there's a wealth of material we _don't_ get to hear on the albums. Singles help make up for some of that. There's also something cool about hearing soundgarden on the radio, especially after your friends have made you take out the soundgarden tape. -- Ben "Could someone please get me a glass of milk?" ~ Chris Cornell (Words not necessarily said in that order...) <~~~ Shroom's disclaimer Ben Timberlake You know . . .

(ok, i DIDN'T take it quite as far yesterday, but defending oneself with the same meaningless argument is just asking for it) you are talking about songs that have instruments thrown into them for the hell of it. jesus, why limit it to sax and trumpet? i could pick up a fucking piccolo and completely ruin a song if i just threw some crap-track over an otherwise decent tune. additional instrumentation can add a lot IF well-arranged. what i'm saying is...don't blame trumpets and saxes for poor sound when it's the skill of the player and the art of the arrangement that matter... > Orchestral arragnements, on the other hands (which often > exclude wind instruments) sound a lot better. Don't get the two mixed up. umm...do you have any idea what you're talking about? brasses aren't even classified as winds in an orchestral setting. saxes are woodwinds, as are clarinets, etc...i don't know of many full orchestras that don't include winds...by your (faulty) definition or the actual one. orchestras that leave out traditional sections of musical arrangement are considered to be functional musical groups and are not referred to as orchestras anymore without some special designation, fyi... sorry to get flame-ish here...(especially without you, shroom!) from now on this stays off the list... incidentally...who is this ".bug" character? certainly a considerate, conversational individual, that's for sure... another .bug-ism: > Simply state that they're a Rock band (one of many). anyone willing to group sg in as "one of many" anything has some serious explaining to do. > Simple.

Castillo" Subject: sg and a phat j When my friend and I went to see Soundgarden at the Irvinepalooza something happened that under normal circumstances wouldn't be so strange, but this time it really bothered my friend. First some back ground: She is into soundgarden BIG time-(don't mean to step on any toes) but she comes damn close to giving shroom a run for her money. For her birthday I took her to see Soundgarden at the IrvinePalooza. We've been known to spark up a doobie every now and again. The point: At the concert, we got stoned and so we were pretty high when Soundgarden came on. I was more so than she was but nonetheless, she was too. Anyhow, we were talking about the concert the other day and she was kicking herself in the ass because she had gotten stoned. Normally this would not be a problem with her, but because it was SG live, she was pretty upset. I know for a fact that she appreceiates SG's music in a very major way even when she is sober, so I didn't understand what the problem was. It's not as if it dulled her experience or anything, but her point was that she shouldn't have done it because she KNOWS she could have had an equally satisfying experience sober. So I just wanted to know what other people think of this. This was triggered by someone who said a song grew on them after they heard it high.

All day, from the time I got there until the time I got out, I couldn't wait to get back in my car, pop in BMF and crank up the radio. When I finally got to, I think I went a little overboard, 'cause now I have a HUGE headache. Or I guess that could be from the gum I chewed all day because I couldn't smoke. But anyway, does anyone else feel like they're all alone when it comes to SG in public? I only have one class with a fellow SG fan and that's in Spanish where I can't speak in English and I don't have a clue as to how to talk about SG in Spanish. I actually do have a SG question for you people in sommsland. What stores do you go to that have all this SG stuff? I'm in a little town that nobody's heard of and they don't have any SG stuff (e.g.: T-shirts). I'd like a shirt, even though at school we have to have our shirts tucked in at all times or we get kicked out, which IMO is not the appropriate way to wear a SG shirt, but I'll live with it if I could just somehow get 1 SG shirt. I'm sorry about this being sort of vague on real SG content, but I haven't said anything to the "list people" in a couple of days, so I had to post something to feel worthy.

T&T happens to touch me greatly and it would just feel weird to see it on Mtv or hear it on the radio. if it happens, it happens. oh well, big deal. but in my mind, i'd rather not see it happen. that's all. mind riot ____ warm and sweet swinging from a window's ledge tight and deep one last sin before i'm dead a sucking holy wind will take me from this bed tonight and bloody wits another hits me and i have to say goodbye... - --chris cornell "tighter & tighter" ------------------------------ From: abj3@psu.edu (Ravi Jolly) Subject: BOOTS/Chris Cornell's SEASONS/Kim Thayil Update?

Ever listen to the Stooges album, Fun House? Now *that* is an awesome album, with both power punk and jazz. I might even venture to say that Face Pollution was influenced by the jazzy sound of this album. I know that Kim, for sure, is a big Stooges fan.

I haven't seen the video yet, but I think the cover is a still from that. soundgarden is typed in large blue letters, while the 'burden...' is scrawled in white handwriting. the flipside has a cool picture of the band at the top; matt on the far left, chris and kim close together in the middle, and then ben on the right. I know most of you probably already have seen the tracklisting, but here it is again: 1. burden in my hand 4:50 2. karaoke 6:01 3. bleed together 3:54 4. birth ritual 5:50 karaoke is hard to define. I don't know if I like it or not. it wasn't very cool the first time around. the beginning (crashing cymbals and chaotic guitars) was kind of interesting, but the main riff was a little...obvious, at least to me. littlejoe (who has lost his voice) likens it to a kiss song. but after a couple of listenings, karaoke becomes a bit of a grower. the groove matt and ben work up is decent, and the lyrics are not too bad, especially the reference to fourth of july. still, it isn't one of their best bsides. in any other rock band's hands, it would be a masterpiece, but like much of dotu it doesn't seem to challenge the listener nor the band. interesting fact: karaoke is produced by chris, *matt* and adam kasper. bleed together, on the other hand, is cool. despite it not having much of a real "soundgarden vibe", the whole band is spot on musically. it's is just a really cool rock song. matt plays brilliantly, and the guitars are solid. chris' voice, like in karaoke, is filtered, but still sounds good. what kim does with his two-bar lead is excellent, and the chorus is awfully catchy. overall, it sounds a little along the lines of never named or an unkind; not sludgey/hypnotic like limo wreck or room, but more uptempo (but missing the wackiness of face pollution of she's a politician). maybe a poor man's drawing flies? so while it is cool to have new music from the band, and even though they are obviously enjoying themselves, neither are soundgarden classics. I know that sounds dumb, as they *are* bsides, but there have been much better bsides than these. neither is as good as cold bitch, kyle petty or birth ritual. both are written by chris, which these days seems to elicit a more of a pop sound from the band, as compared to when he wrote blind dogs. neither is great, but neither is bad. but I think that ultimately you have to respect both songs because of the heart and energy put into each. in any case, it beats two live songs :) ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 215] ****************************************
