They are just as disgusting to me as the Big Haired, glittery televangelists. Being one who is relatively well educated in religious philosophy, I would like to exchange views with Kim on this matter. Also, being one who believes in some sort of higher power, I would like to know if and why that makes me a "pig". Cornell expresses his beliefs through a powerful medium in music. Although, I agree with some of his views and disagree with others, I think it's important for everyone to educate themselves and develop their own beliefs. Just because Cornell expresses certain beliefs does'nt mean a SG fan should adopt them, but respect them for what they are; the views of a talented lyricist, musician, and high school drop out.

I, being the one of two known Buffalo Somms members, have formed the GBASOCOS (I don't really remember what the initials mean, but damn, doesn't it look important). The purpose of the GBASOCOS is to drink copious amounts of alcohol (The infamous Molson Variety Pack: official beer of SG) at various concerts in the GBASOCOS area with any and all - known and unknown - GBASOCOS members. Concert #1: (Saturday Aug. 31, Molson Park, Barrie, ON) Neil Young Oasis Screaming Trees Jewel Gin Blossoms Spiritualized coming soon: Concert #2 (Tuesday Oct 1, the Marina, Buffalo, NY) Pearl Jam Fastbacks email me for info.

I feel that if Chris himself saw the article....and knew that the media was publisizing his mothers chosen career..(only for the fact that it's HIS mom) he might not be too happy about it. I think that it might embarrass him somewhat. It's already evident, whenever he is asked about how he feels towards what his mother does for a living.... Just my .02 cents... SGardnGrl. Where have you heard that he's embarrassed about his mother's choice of career? I didn't get that impression. ------------------------------ From: Scroggin Subject: Re: homemade forks..

There have been some...technical difficulties with the video capture equipment. Without going into excessively boring detail, the software I use insists on saving the video clips as AVIs with a proprietary CODEC, and I can't figure out to convert them to something everyone can see.

My mom just got back from Paris and she brought me some cool stuff. Instead of bringing me some lame T-shirt with Paris all over it, she brought me some European versions of Superunknown and DOTU, which I could never find where I live. Anyway, I know the obvious difference on Superunknown, but does anyone know what makes the DOTU so special? On the front it has a sticker that says Limited edition (it's in French, but that's what it says). There's no apparent difference in the disc. The cover is incredibly shiny, like it has some sort of stuff on it, it's not dull like the U.S. one. The only other difference I can find is on the inside of the cover, where it's black on my older one, it's white on the Euro one. She also got me the BIMH single, which I couldn't find here. And ya' know the best part? The company that she works for paid for all of it! And for all you people out there with parents who just don't understand, I thought I'd tell you just how cool my parents are (at least in the music department). Besides the incredible stuff above, my dad actually likes SG. He owned a copy of BMF before I did! And on Saturday I got stuck in a car with him to Oklahoma (4 hours from where I live) and he actually let me take control of the radio. I, of course, played SG all the way (both directions) and I even saw him drumming out Matt's parts on the steering wheel on some of the songs. And as if that weren't enough, he found out that I am trying to learn how to play the guitar, and is now offering to help teach me some basic stuff (he used to be in a band) and let me use his dad's acoustic guitar. Considering his dad died in February and it has lots of sentimental value, that's pretty damn incredible. Well, I've had a pretty good last couple of days, so I just thought I'd share some of it with ya'. Amber P.S.

On Mon, 26 Aug 1996, caryn rose wrote: > apparently there *will* be a faq someday -- rumor has it it'll be an > official state holiday in australia when it finally gets finished. > members> thank you caryn. for all those listers yapping about our heels for an unofficial soundgarden faq (and I know there aren't many of you), I will now make a super-official announcment. in fact, this one is the absolute last one. if it doesn't come through this time, then I'm going to give up and hide out in brazil for a while (I'll have to pick up coco on my way through). the faq, which should have been finished a *long* time ago, will be up and running on seth's superior soundgarden site by the 4th of october. I know that sounds a long way away, but some school work is looking like it might take precedence (if my real priorities don't get in the way). the first version will hopefully be up on the 26th or 27th of september, but there are likely to be a couple of little bugs that need ironing for the 4th unveiling proper, a date chosen for you-know-who's birthday celebration and the coinciding birthday page. with that in mind, could listers (if you don't mind giving me a kick in the ass to get me moving faster) please send me any questions that you feel *must* be up considered on the faq. I, and my silent partner, already have a list worked up, but input would be appreciated. also of import are the new developments at the imusic soundgarden site. in an effort to catch up to that other soundgarden homepage, the designers appear to be on the verge of dumping their current design, evidenced by the flashing "coming soon: the new soungarden website" banner. and as I type this, I have received mail from the official list about the new soundgarden mini-mart (I wonder who came up with that one?). the shirt on display is kind of cool, as long as you like caricatures. they also have a new hat, with the newly-resuscitated sst-era logo on the front. hang on, weren't we talking about caricature shirts only a week or so ago? looks like someone might be listening... ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: the fire is spreading...

Slaves and Bulldozers: This is still one of my favorite songs on BMF (My knees still get weak every time Chris screams "Bleed your heart out). To me though the song is about the PR/Marketing aspect of the recording industry, especially perhaps the print media. "Every word I said is what I mean" could be about being misquoted and/or misinterpretted. "Buying lies and stealing jokes and laughing every time I choke" could be about interviews/reviews, too. The "laughing every time I choke" part could also refer to bands SG was competing with when they first started out. "Virgin eyes and dirty looks on what I have and why I took" sounds like feeling judged. "Counting all the hands I shook" is obviously a statement about selling themselves (PR-wise). And I think my favorite part "So bleed your heart out, there's no more rides for free. Bleed your heart out, I said, what's in it for me" also sounds like being tired of marketing themselves, or paying their dues, whatever. Tired of having to do things they don't want to do in order to "make it". Even the title says that to me: feeling like "Slaves" to the situation, and being "Bulldozed" by the critics/media/industry. Ah-hem, on to #2. 2. Production quality of DOTU vs. SU. Personally I don't know how the quality of these two recordings can really be compared because they are so different from each other in terms of "feel". On the Launch CD-ROM Kim talks about this: LAUNCH: In terms of the new record, Down On The Upside, what was the overall approach? Did you have a specific sound you were going for? KIM: The biggest change was that we wanted to make a record that sounded a little more natural. The previous record might have been a little too slick for some people's taste. We liked the previous record; we've enjoyed every record we've ever made. We just wanted to make this a little more natural-sounding and that really starts with the drums and that's the foundation for the whole recording. I'd be curious to see how many people on the list who became SG fans BEFORE SuperUnknown prefer DOTU and how many who became fans AFTER SuperUnknown prefer SU. Anyone who wants to email me privately and tell me when they discovered SG and which of these two albums they prefer, do so and I'll compile the results. Personally I prefer DOTU, and I became a fan with Louder Than Love, but the sound on BMF is the sound I'll always associate with SG because thats when I first saw them live (over, and over, and over). Let me know what you all think. By the way, for those of you who have Launch, have you checked out the Web stuff? They have the full transcript of the interview shown on the disc, which goes into a lot more detail. Boy, she does ramble on (sorry, its been a few days since I got a digest and I was jonesing). Guess thats all for now.

Burnett" Subject: NO CODE I hope i can squeeze this in, before today's post goes out, and yes, I will have a string, or tie, or what's the word, the one where this post is soundgarden - related, whatever, bear in mind i'm rather hammered........ I GOT THE NEW PEARL JAM...... at 12:00 AM, I was in line at the blockbuster music in downers grove illinois to buy the new pearl jam, and meet some idiot named freak from our local radio station (Rock 103.5) who was to be there for the festivities....in case you're wondering, people from radio stations are long haired losers like a lot of us......... anyway.......it TRANSENDS MUSIC......and im not saying that as some 14 year old neo-alternative fag with my bush cd in my pocket, but as someone who LISTENS to music, not just listens to music.......... the beauty of the album is its versatility.........jeff, stone, and mikes guitar riffs are extremely powerful....not powerful in a pantera sort of way, but in the way that strikes a chord inside of you.......they go from punk chords, to neil young hard rock chords, to tom petty type riffs, and beyond. and, much like our common bond, SOUNDGARDEN, even more important than the looming guitar riffs, lingering high above everything else, overpowering all the amplified sound, is eddies VOICE......he controls the mood. he booms above all the other components of each song. the album is so different from song to song. so far, who you are is my favorite. its one of those we are the world, lets eat shrooms (hi shroom) and hug our dad type of jams. plus the album itself unfolds into four different sections, with another sleeve inside that contains like 10 polaroids of all the shit from the cover....very cool. not one you'll find at the discount rack at best buy a year from now, with RATT or something. anyway, flame away, i don't give a fuck. buying this album must be like what it felt like buying sgt. pepper 30 years ago. it makes you feel proud to be a piece of shit from the 90s. oh yeah, the tie, or string, or whatever......it's like i told tonerkins........think of it like this......new soundgarden album, new pearl jam album, no tour dates for either of them........................................................................ ............... they did it before........ and for whoever feels they have to choose sides.......give it up.......stop being cliche....cause you know a sg/pj tour would be the greatest combination of all time.....screaming trees can open...................thank you and i'm out...................THE BIG JOE - --------O But it all makes such Sense to me i need room to breathe I work for the goals that i set Wasted time it weighs on my mind You can bet I can't wait one minute more - -----CIV ------------------------------ From: Josh_Garza@teachnet.edb.utexas.edu (Josh Garza) Subject: Re: 'official' website wat is the decal of.......? ____________________________________________________________ houser@uscom.com,Internet writes: hey i was just on the 'official' soundgarden web site and they had this new section called the mini mart. they had a couple of t shirts and a hat and decal for sale there. the group caricature is interesting. check it out. - -- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- TeachNet, College of Education, University of Texas, Austin Texas - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ From: Scroggin Subject: ..something cool im real sorry seth but i've got something i thought the list should know and its not SG related..please dont kick me off the list. ok , i was looking at the Bill Nye The Science Guy Page and the have a sound clip of Mudhoney doing the theme song for the show, they also have a little bit to say about SG and the "sound" episode,,,hey , i guess i did have something SG related to say after all cherio' - -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -what is democracy???? - -i believe it has something to do with sending young men off to die. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ From: overfloater@thenexus.com Subject: a thought...a theory....a brain wave EP>A bite of an apple, a small piece, a glimpse of "Apple" , a tribute to MLB's ack that msd up big time.. anyway, they have a song called "come bite the apple" dont they? i always think of that when i hear about applebite.. ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: my theroy on SOMMS.

I do. I believe Nothingman has one as well. By the way, Nothingman, if you receive this, please come back. I personally don't hold any sort of grudge against you. You took on more than you could handle and rather than disappoint everyone, you did the best you could. It almost sounds like something I would do. Anyway, I forgive you. And even if everyone on the list doesn't, what's the worst they can do to you? Flame you? I assume that you're still churning the shirts out. -- Ben Ben Timberlake You know . . .

Hello Everyone!! ok....ok... I am all caught up on digests and some what caught up on back mail ( sorry!! ) I wanted to post this while it was fresh in my mind...... so here it goes! A couple of days ago someone made the comment about getting hats done on the list...instead of.....or along with new shirts!! I would like to volunteer myself to undertake this new task.This is kinda wierd because I had approached Seth with the same idea ( getting hats done with the fork logo ) about 2 weeks ago after he recieved my home made list shirt....as I explained to him and now I will explain to you all....a close friend of mine owns an Embroidery shop here where I live.He does VERY good work and is VERY dependable.I know that he would give me a good deal on anything that I would need.Of course the prices would depend on alot of things.... how many hats... what type of hats...( cotton or wool )... and the cost of doing the design... ( which I think that I can get him to do for free ) I will look into what he can do for me then I will post the prices to the list... and I guess we can go from there! ( and of course he does samples.. which I would be more than happy to send out !!!!!) I also can get shirts done through Jeff's ( the Embriodery guy ) friend..... He is also very good and dependable...and Jeff seems to think that I shouldnt have a proplem getting the shirts for under $8.00.( but I hate to say all that when I havent talked to the guy myself!!!!) I know personally that the shirts that he uses are good quality shirts and he does good clean designs!! I know that you all are a little sketchy about doing this sort of thing again... but I am NOT NOTHINGMAN!! I think that there is a few people on this list who can vouch for me on that one!! Also if anyone wants to help... hey great...!! the more the merrier!! you could come down to the shop and hoop the hats and trim threads!! ( what a glorious job!!).... I guess what I am trying to say is this... I am offering to undertake this job!! I won't let you guys down!!!!!*** JEZZ now I feel like I am running for office or something!! " If I am nominated I will promise too............"hehehehe!!!! No seriously though.. I will look into the prices of these items and I will let you all know then I guess we can go from there!!! DEAL??? WHOA.. thanks for the listen!! Dena :)~ ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 225] ****************************************
