Take the name "Badmotorfinger" for example. Does this title mean that the band are trying to tell us that they are poor mechanics? There you go, then...

I know personally that the >shirts that he uses are good quality shirts and he does good clean designs!! I was thinking... Maybe there should be several people doing it. Like one in the US, one in Canada, one in Australia, etc. Because I know it's really expensive to mail stuff (one of my friends mailed a t-shirt to Australia and it cost her $13 in postage). I work for a silkscreening company (well, I work in one of their retail divisions) and I asked my boss and he said that he'd charge approximately $10-$12 Canadian per shirt, depending on how many were ordered. Oh yeah, if I do do them, I wouldn't even be able to touch the money because money orders and cheques could just be made out to the company, NOT ME. Oh yeah, they also do embroidery on hats... Or silkscreening on hats... One thing though, all artwork has to be approved before they'll do the shirts, hats, whatever, so if I got them done, the list would have to appoint someone who could look at the design and make sure it was what the list members wanted... Anyway, I'll stop boring you now. Erin. ------------------------------ From: ShRooMGrLz@aol.com Subject: PJ, Ma Cornell, and phone numbers... Well kiddies... I've been really quiet all week, 'cuz work is driving me crazy. Or should I say 'crazier'? Anyway... I just thought I'd babble to y'all for a bit (I'm not quite coherent yet, so bear with me). I went to buy the new PJ album at midnight last night because I've been dying to hear the song "Mankind." Stoney sings it... and he's great. And I still can't believe that the ALMIGHTY Eddie Vedder actually ALLOWED someone ELSE to sing on a PJ album (sorry Justine... love ya, hootchie!). Anyway, I'm sure that you people are sitting there groaning "Get to the fucking Soundgarden point already, Shroom." Ok, but first I have to ask some die-hard MLB and some PJ fans on the list one question. You know how on the No Code cover they have a bunch of the pictures from the trading cards? Well, there's this one picture that caught my attention (which I DIDN'T get with my CD, damn me), and I'm wondering what y'all make of it. It's not actually on the cover, it's of one of the eyes when you open the cover. Say you've got the cover unfolded, and you're looking at it so all the pictures are right side up... it's in the second column from the right. Just above the fold, and in between the pictures of book spines and some guy in a suit. It's actually just a drawing of an eye. That's Andy Wood's eye, isn't it?!? Actually, the more I look at it, the more I realize that asking that question was pointless, 'cuz I KNOW it's Landrew's eye. Ok... sorry for babbling. On to the mother of God... umm... I mean Karen: I received a tape in the mail yesterday from Erin, whom I love very much (thank you thank you thank you, Erin!!!! You rule!). On this tape was the usual stuff that I miss because I don't get eMpTVy and Much Music... videos and interviews (poor me, heheheheh). Okokok, I'm getting to the point. On it was some coverage of the '94 (or was it '95? God, what year IS it??) Grammy's that I somehow managed to miss the first time... don't ask me HOW. I almost had a heart attack when I saw Chris standing there with his arm around this older lady... and I KNEW it was his mom before they even announced it. She just said something aboout how she was proud of Chris going from playing the drums with bands in the garage when he was 16 to getting a Grammy. Then the interviewer asked if he had introduced his mother to any celebrities. Chris said "I was trying to catch up with Tony Bennett. I was gonna try and hook them up." Karen just laughs and laughs! It was really groovy. So no, he's not embarrassed of his mother. He took her to the Grammy's with him, like any good son would. I have somehow just gained even more respect for the man... and I didn't think that was possible. I guess this kinda makes up for him being a hypocrite about the shirt thing. =) >SOUNDGARDENS home phone. Im sure you've all atempted this before >>no, we haven't. shroom asked for it as a joke. Ummm... yeah, but you know if the fan club had said "His home phone number is (206)555-5555... would you like his social security number, too?" I definitely wouldn't have balked at taking it. =) Would I have called him? Ummm... maybe?? Ummm... ok, maybe not. I really don't know what I'd say if I DID call, though. Probably something stupid like... "Hi this is Shroo.. ummm... Dena from Happy Daze hydroponic nursery. We need to confirm a past credit history on a Mr. blahblahblahblah..." Or something like that. Heheheh... ok, I wouldn't call. But only because I know that someday I'll be able to corner him in person and get pictures of him. =) Call me psycho, but I know the day is coming. Maybe not THIS year... but soon. Very soon. Heheheh... ahhh, the power of being deranged.

I drove to two different bars, 45 minutes apart to try to get that CD tonight and missed the bastards at each one. Ironically, I missed them because I had to close Blockbuster last night. Anyway, I listened to temple of the dog while driving around and was thinking it _would_ be really cool if sg & pj toured together because not only would that be a really great show, but maybe it would inspire them to do some more collaborative work. Also, maybe some of you tour-wise people can answer this one. Soundgarden's last date in Europe is Oct. 19. Isn't it pretty unusual for bands to tour in late fall/early winter. Soundgarden would need a fairly large venue and those are typically outdoors. So it follows, that we wouldn't see them touring until early spring. (Unless they did clubs, which would rock) But, they're also going to be in OZ in May, n'est-ce pas? So, does anyone have an informed guess as to when Soundgarden would headline tour N America at the earliest? It does seem a bit greedy to want them again so soon after lolla, but I would have to say that I feel a bit cheated by that 'festival.' Finally, to add to my misery, at the second bar I went to, I was exposed to some really crappy Van Halen cover band. Feel my pain. -- Ben Ben Timberlake You know . . .

I became a fan with Black Hole Sun. Yah, I know, whatever. I _definitely_ prefer DOTU to superunknown. SU is a fantastic album, but DOTU just kinda beats it out for me. I guess it would be because DOTU is more reminiscent of Badmotorfinger, which is easily my favorite sg album. On production: I like the production on DOTU better because it has a more vital studio feel to it. I _like_ hearing studio noise. It calls to mind, dare I say it, late Beatles and Led Zeppelin production. Jimmy catching the airplane on Physical Graffiti (Before boogie w/ stu?); the laughing on Maxwell's Silver Hammer. The production on Superunkown is impeccable, but decidedly different from that on DOTU. I'm glad they did SU slick, I can't imagine it any other way, though I suppose it would be interesting to hear. Oh, for example, I prefer the video version of FOBD because it's less mixed and you get them warming up and stuff. And the demos from SU on Stolen Prayers are also more rough around the edges, a little more simple. -- Ben Ben Timberlake You know . . . Northwestern University . . . for kids!

I saw this I think either just before Lollapalooza started or right after. Anyway, he said that after Lollapalooza, they would take some time off, then head to Europe for a couple of months, then come back to the U.S. and do a regular SG tour here, sometime in the November/December time frame. I don't think they were planning to continue touring into next year because I also remember the interviewer asking if they would go into January/February. He kind of agreed, but then repeated November/December. So I dunno. Like I said, it was a long time ago, but that's what I remember.

Well shit and fuck! I've been at a loss the last few days cuz my SOMMS Digest is having growing pains and hasn't bothered to show up at my mailbox door, and I don't know what the hell the threads are lately. So I guess I'll just tell everybody 'bout my SG collection. Yesterday, I scored big. My music supplier got me: "Hands All Over" b/w "Come Together" black vinyl 12-inch single with Jason Everman taking Hiro's place in the group photos on the cover. "Seattle 1990, Live at the Bumbershoot(sic) Festival" all pre-BMF tunes w/Ben! "Rusty Cage" b/w "Touch Me" and "Show Me" CD single promo w/ green group photo on the CD. # ???? of 5000. Some dumb fuck scraped off the single number (why would someone do this!!!), but my supplier is gonna try to find me one that still has the number. "Outshined" edit and LP version CD single w/ BMF logo on the CD. "The Day I Tried to Live" b/w "Like Suicide" acoustic and "Kickstand" live August 93, promo. "Pretty Noose" LP version CD single promo. "Spoonman" promo broadcastable video. and best of all: "Kaiser Keller's Cellar Show #27, featuring Soundgarden" which is a real treat! This video is marked as "Producer's Post". It's "hosted" by Alain and Natasha from ELEVEN (you know, Jack Iron's old jazz band--heh heh heh ;>)and they're acting out the parts of two German TV-celebs who have a TV show that features cool music. Well on this particular show, SG are the guests of honor and they first do the newer "Pretty Noose" video as if they were live on the show. I'm sure many of you have seen this on MTV--Alain (as Kaiser Keller) introduces the band and they do the song. After the song, the band cops a squat and Kaiser (Alain) and Natasha proceed to interview them. THIS IS NOT the same interview that's on "Into the Upside". That was a serious interview and the one they do on the video is totally tongue in cheek (or wherever Shroomie would like it!). After the interview, the *original* "Pretty Noose" video is shown. That's right-Kozik's version! I love it! So that's it. Quite a haul for one day! And now these will join my SG collection of: "Screaming Life/FOPP" CD "Screaming Life/FOPP" music/tablature book "Ultramega OK" CD "Louder Than Love" CD "Louder Than Love" music/tablature book "Badmotorfinger" CD "Badmotorfinger/SOMMS" CD "Badmotorfinger" music/tablature book "Supermainstream" CD "Superunknown" LP and CD "Superunknown" music/tablature book "Songs from the Superunknown" CD "Alive in the Superunknown" CD-ROM "Fresh Deadly Rarities" CD "Down on the Upside" LP and CD "Into the Upside" "American As Fuck" featuring Johnny Cash doing "Rusty Cage" (I count this as SG-YES!)
