If you guys want to, you can all send me some money ( say fifteen dollars or so ), and if enough of you are interested in really sending the money, I could print up a fatty design. All I would need is the basic design for that somms shirt. I know the fork the somms net log and all. So yeah send me your reply if you're intersted. I've done this before, unlike that nothingdick guy that spent all your hard earned cash on sg rarities. thanks! clockwork@sisna.com COCHRAN_BONNIE/SBCTC@ctc.ctc.edu wrote: > > Geoff wrote: > > < summer, so I don't know how thoroughly this has been discussed, > how many people did get shirts??

Shawn, I agree, but I just got a pro shot multi cam video from lolapalooza 92 live in Seattle and they opened with Gun which is cool, then came JCP and that just kicked it into high gear. The audio is great, the video is great as well, Here's the tracklist: Gun JCP Outshined Big Dumb Sex Ugly Truth Rusty Cage Slaves and Bulldozers (with smells like teen spirit sung as the chorus) Searching With My Good Eye Closed If anyone is interested in getting a copy, get in touch, lets work out a trade alister Does anyone know the exact date of Lollapalooza in Seatle 92? ------------------------------ From: Nigel Wilks Subject: Re: IMPORTANT: New SOMMS t-shirt opportunity No T-Shirt has arrived for me in the UK yet !

Great idea! I am looking through my scrapbook now to find the sexiest pic I can find. If all the "head" priestess slots are taken, can I be a hand maiden? hehehe Deb ------------------------------ Subject: TBAs have been announced (kind of) From: seth I was just perusing the official website (as I sometimes do), and they've actually updated their tour date page without telling anyone, those sneaky characters. I've updated the dates on the unofficial site to match the official ones, though the venue names are slightly different in some cases (I verified the correct venue names in Pollstar). The part of the schedule that's been changed/added: Nov 24 Nashville, Tennessee, Municipal Auditorium Nov 26 Houston, Texas, International Ballroom Nov 27 Austin, Texas, Austin Music Hall Nov 29 Mesa, Arizona, Mesa Amphitheater Nov 30 Irvine, California, Bren Events Center Dec 01 Los Angeles, California, Universal Amphitheater Dec 04 San Francisco, California, Warfield Dec 05 San Francisco, California, Warfield And by the way, my apologies if this was already posted to the list; after wading through 200+ pieces of mail, everything's a blur. seth ------------------------------ From: Challand Subject: Artists Wanted! This is sort of not Soundgarden related - Is anyone on the list an artist in some way? I am working on a webpage called Fire. Fire is for everyone who is interested in the arts. But first I'm looking for artists who would like their work to be displayed in it (for free!) It can be anything ranging from paintings to computer graphics to drawings to even music, sounds, or videos. Please email me if you're interested! challand@sk.sympatico.ca ------------------------------ From: jcho@discovernet.net (Joshua Cho) Subject: Speakin' of t-shirts When I ordered my Lolla tix from the T-master WEb page, they were offering Soundgarden t-shirts, which of course I ordered. They showed a picture of a shirt that said "Kickstand" on it and had a pic of a little bicycle or something. Cool, I thought, that's one of my favorite kick ass songs! Anyway, Lolla came and went and my shirt arrived in the mail. But the shirt I received has a big red CD on the back (black t-shirt of course) that says "Pretty Noose/LP Version 4:12 . . . For promotional use only - not for sale." All this shit is written on the CD. On the front there's a little image of the band standing. Did anypne else get this shirt or know anything about it. It actually looks like a promo shirt that they gave out a press conf or sent with the single to radio stations. Did tehy fucking sell me a promo shirt that was free to the press (I get shirts like this in my industry (motorcycle press) and they usually end up as rags eventually.) Josh C.

I read about the soundtrack just yesterday, but I forgot who exactly's on it. Most of the Seattle groups like Nirvana, Tad etc. are gonna be on it, and of course our beloved Soundgarden with their (old) track "Nothing To Say". sabrina ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: Lollapalooza 92 vid!!!!!

BTW, Blind Dog mentioned (digest 25th Sept)someone mishearing the lyrics of BIMH as " I lost my hair today." The first time my boyfriend heard the song he was convinced Chris was singing "I shot my load today"!! And when FOBD was played on Radio One's now sadly defunct Rock Show, Def Leppard thought "sure don't mind a change" sounded like "shit on my chest" !! Just thought I'd share that with you.

Favorite all time lyric "you look like you've been losing sleep, said the stranger on a train. I fixed him with an ice-cold stare and said I've been having those dreams again. In one dream there's this girl I love and we dance ev'ry waking breath and in the other they've thrown me in a cell and they're trying me for her death. I'm only young and young in love as i hold that girl today, but I'm old and tired in the cell and I've nigh-on withered away. y'see my babe has gone away too long and I'm choking back the tears. Dishevelled star in a burnt out bar and i'm talking in my drink. She promised me the world and more. How could she do this to me? And now mine's tumbling down around. But at least my eyes can see. And those stars in the sky are for me so as this fagged-out tinseltown waves so-long to the sun, I lay here calmly on my bed and the trigger of my gun. And should that no-good woman show up dancing from a dream, I'll squeeze it tight and not think twice and relish ev'ry scream." 8. Favorite all time song A Day in the Life 9. Favorite SG album Badmotorfinger 10. Favorite pizza topping mushrooms 11. Favorite ice-cream flavor that chocolate crunch stuff. 11a. Favorite Book The Art of War - Sun Tzu 11b.

I was just wondering how many people have a copy of the Launch CD ROM mag with Kareoke on it. I got it today and was surprised to hear how good it was. Also, to all European SOMMSters who happened to have seen SG, was Kareoke on the set list? Let me know! -Fett ------------------------------ From: overfloater@thenexus.com Subject: hehehe I was just remembering sometime a long while ago when I was flipping through the used cds section of Music Shack and I found a cd by a really cheesy hiphop band (not to offend hiphop fans, but you can tell it was cheesy because it was someone I'd never heard of, and most stuff that's not popular in that genre sucks, and if you can prove me wrong on that, I'm sorry and I take it back) I forget the name.. but the name of the CD was (get this) LOUDER THAN LOVE.. I nearly shit my pants when I saw it.. Go to one of those MUZE things sometime, and look up Louder Than Love and tell me if it's still in there :> ------------------------------ From: Cornell Subject: Stop Can we end this DoTU vs. the rest of the soundgarden catalog discussion. I'm disappointed that many of you aren't too fond of DoTU, but why did any of you expect it to sound like any of their other albums? Compare all of them, and you'll find that no two albums have the same feel. You can't expect a new SG album to have a certain feel that was on a previous album, y'know? All in all, each album is different. Ultramega just plunged straight in hard rock, blowing the doors off of anything else. LtL was where they started to experiment, but it was still pretty damn cool. BMF was a HARD album, unlike anything I've ever heard. Superunknown's strength came with the experimentation, and the order of the songs (especially the way it moved from the swirling sounds of my wave to the soft chords of FoBD....). Down on the Upside's uniqueness lies in that it doesn't pander to conventional hard rock bullshit. Sure there are some rockin' songs (Pretty Noose, Ty Cobb, No Attention), but the best part is the way there are songs unlike anything you've really heard from Sg (Zero chance, Never the Machine Forever, etc.). On the other hand, I can see how someone who loves BMF could be disappointed for lack of straight up, kickass songs. Still, you must remember that unlike many other bands, Sg's albums all sound different. Gregg - -- "Fall into single file line" -- S.
