I don't know how many of you are x-files fans, but the odd tower/silo thing looked just like something they used in one of last season's episodes. about the weird (pew) jet that flies over the band, I don't know. maybe kim tool a new angle on the songs's lyrics and was trying to work aliens into it. also, can anyone tell me what the "orange marmalade set" is? ben makes reference to it during the interview on the pn single, and I'm wondering whether it is his own little term. he talks about how he includes my wave, the day I tried to live, head down, pretty noose and she likes surprises. I personally can't see much of a connection between most of these songs, and the rest of the band sniggers when he says it, so maybe it was just (to quote kim) tongue-in-buttcheek. and by the way seth, have a nice day. it is your 21st birthday after all . ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Aleko Subject: Re: heretic, burn at the stake...

From: jsimpson@mail03.mitre.org (Jamesetta Simpson) Okay, this is not SG related, but since it concerns member of the list I feel justified in posting this. East Coast members, is every one OKAY.. For you that don't understand, the East Coast of the United States has being hit with bad weather for the last few weeks. We are having bad flooding. I live in the higher areas of VA, but this morning the water on the roadways was half way up the wheels of my Jeep (a very high Jeep). Roads I have never seen flooded in the many years that I have been here are closed. I know we have members who live in areas recently hit by Hurricane Fran (Dee Dee you still doing okay).

Maybe, I'm not just a fruitcake." Well, maybe I didn't get that excited, but right at the point where I was feelin' pretty good, this girl in the next little cubicle leans over and goes, "Oh cool, isn't SG that new Black Hole Sun band?" I could've cried. Was this an isolated incident, or does this happen a lot to you people out there? This list is going to be my support group against idiots like that. A different Seth ------------------------------ From: ShRooMGrLz@aol.com Subject: My padre disses on Chris, and my Matt dream... Well, my padre gave me the ultimate insult this morning. I was babbling to him about my trip to Seattle in October because (did I mention this yet?) I got my airline tickets in yesterday. ;-) He listened patiently to me for about 10 minutes, and then he asked me "Shroom, pumpkin... why do you want to go all the way to Seattle just because that Soundgarden band is there?" So then I start in on how I'm not JUST going to Seattle because SG is there... I'm going to meet my friends, and basically just get away from TX for a week. Ok, and SG being there is just a little extra incentive. =) Padre just sat there, sipping his coffee and said "Sweetie, I don't know what you see in that Cornball guy. He looks like death eatin' a soda cracker." WHAT?!? Jeeeeeez... do you people see what I'm having to put up with here? Living at home is bad enough... but to have my parents insult MY beloved Chris ;-)... well, that's just too much. Heheheh... Oh yeah... I wanted to tell y'all about this dream I had the other night. Dena and I were at a SG show, and we were sitting onstage beside Matt's drum kit on this couch. Picture the Motorvision setup, except Matt's hair was longer (like in TDITTL poster). Dena and I had the same perspective that the camera gave of Matt (his left side). Anyway... we were just kicking back, watching Mattster fly on his drums... and I kept thinking to myself "Damn, it must be fun to be a drummer!" Then all of the sudden, I was Matt!! It was so cool! I was just whaling on these drums, and I knew I was him, because I could see my (Matt's) blonde hair flying around my face. I was doing all the requisite Matt-drumming-stuff, like throwing my head back and making all kinds of faces. I could see Chris over my drum kit, and the crowd past him. I thought to myself "Yeah!! It IS fun to be a drummer!!" Then I glanced to my left, and I saw myself and Dena sitting on the couch, watching me. That's when I messed up, and lost my right drumstick. I just lost my grip on it, and it flew out of my hands. Oops. I knew I couldn't play the drums (I'm not coordinated enough), so I should have figured something like that would happen. I thought to myself "Hmmm... maybe being a drummer isn't all it's cracked up to be." Suddenly I was back in my body, sitting on the couch again. Matt was himself again, too. He was like "What the fuck? Where's my drumstick?!?" One of his tech's brought him another one, and they went on with the song. Heheheh... it was a really vivid and cool dream, I can't even begin to tell you guys. And it was neat, because Dena was there (my partner in crime). I'll bet you people weren't aware that I'm the ONLY person on the list that knows what she looks like. =) I'll also bet that a bunch of you people don't care. =) Anyway... I just thought I'd share all that stuff with you. Oh, did I mention that I only got three hours of sleep last night? =) Okokok... I'm going now. Love me, bye-bye...

I have the address, (and my tix came in the mail the other day) , but I can't find Lawrence street on any of my little maps. What area of town is it in, major attractions, landmarks, anything that will help me get my bearing so that I can get a hotel close by. Or, better yet, when bands come to town, is there a certain hotel they typically stay at? I know here in Indy there are usually 2 or 3 places where celebs stay. I have relatives in Chicago but they don't know where the Aragon is either. Please help!! Also, has anybody seen the most recent issue of SPIN? I think it just came out yesterday, but there are a couple of pretty negative letters about SG. (The authors obviously have no taste in music.) Anyway I kind of have mixed feelings about it. I hate for people to say bad things about bands I love but, on the flipside, if there is like this backlash forming against them, then maybe the "true" fans, who really "get it" can have them back for ourselves. Personally, I hate it when bands get really popular and all these little "trendies" jump on the bandwagon. It makes it harder to get tickets and it usually makes the band withdraw more and you end up not feeling the same connection with them. And these are also the same people, in a lot of cases who now go to shows and throw stuff at bands. PEOPLE LIKE THAT SUCK! This is what happened with U2 whom i used to love as much as I do Soundgarden but it's like they became popular and their music started to suck and they just became "STARS". I mean I know its good for the bands personally to have tons of people who buy their music and come to their shows but ... Also, there is a cute, eventhough not very clear or large pic of Chris in the mag with an article about Rock the Vote. Its from when he had - yes yes yes - long hair!

Carlyle) Subject: Soundgarden Live! Just thought Id drop the list a quick note. It was announced last night that Soundgarden is returning to their home away from home--Salt Lake City (utah), on Nov. 6th. No opening band has been announced. Now here is where it gets weird. Theyre playing in a very small "arena". Saltaire only holds around 3,000. Last time they played in this area they played in front of over 8,000 (Ogden, golden spike arena). I cant figure this out--have they really lost that much popularity? I thought for sure theyd hit the Delta Center, which holds up to 10,000. I mean a couple of weeks ago the Smashing pumpkins played the delta center, and nearly sold the damn thing out (interestingly enough, the pumpkins sold more tickets than Kiss). Anyway, can anyone shed some light on this--is this a "back to the bars tour"? O.k. so every cloud has a silver lining--right? When medium to large bands do play Saltaire, sometimes they sell out so quickly that a second show is immediately added. This has recently happened with Primus, White Zombie, and Rage vs. the Machine. Im salvating at the possibility of two Soundgarden shows in a row! Anyone else who wants to see Soundgarden in a smaller arena might get their wish this tour.

Hopefully, next time we'll do it more the way we want and figure out ways of making it more exciting for us and the audience." They are expected to do as the Pumpkins did.. maybe this is finally the way THEY want to do it. I happen to think it is awesome and hope they do tons of small to mid-size venues. I don't think it has anything to do with their popularity, just that they went thru a tour that did not make them happy, and they want to do it differently this time, not the expected way. just my $.02 - -eliza ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: and I learned that I was a liar...

In a smaller venue the show, the energy, the crowd, and the band are much more focused. And they just did a large venue tour. So they are doing what they want to do.
