I'm from Milwaukee. Originally Lazer103 was this heavy rock station, and dabbled with a lot of metal too. Now they call themselves a "Pure Rock" station. Ha! More like "Pure Butt-rock"! They stopped playing old Soundgarden, and occasionally I hear Fell on Black Days, but mostly now it is BUTOW. The stange thing is that they still play a lot of Metallica...so why can't they slip in a Rusty Cage or Kevin's Mom, eh? Well, we know where their motivation lies...$$$. The other station, "NewRock 102.1" only plays shit alternative like No Doubt, Green Day ect. And it really pisses me off when they stick SG in the same class by playing BUTOW or Burden, which in my opinion are not characteristic of our favorite band at all...There are really no good stations here except for 96WKLH which plays Pink Floyd and Zeppelin occasionally, and this blues station. I don't think there are ANY good stations in the country anymore.My Aunt always tells me about how the alternative stations in L.A. during the late 80's kicked ass when she lived there...But they're gone now... ------------------------------ From: TSmith@lakefieldcs.on.ca (Timothy Smith) Subject: Toronto show After reviewing the concert list, I noticed that there was a show in Toronto, Canada.

I have a few free minutes now so I thought I'd jump in w/ my 30 liras worth--aka 2 cents--on this whole grunge label, what is what isn't thing. First of all, thanks, Toni, for defending those of us who are actually adults on this list and for doing it so humourously! If the strained peas are waiting for you, then listers better remember how old the Gardeners are! BdMtrFgnr, that was really a cut to say play the music to some old guy in his 40's! You think it's all an age thing? I have to disagree loudly! Nate said it well when he said how up until 4 years ago it all sounded like so much noise to him. Nate, my man, well put, b/c I said the same thing back in 92 when a friend was trying to get me into PJam by playing Ten whenever she could. It was just so much noise to me.....BECAUSE OF WHAT I WAS USED TO LISTENING TO! I have since developed much more eclectic tastes, but still have a tendency towards well-produced, smooth sounding bands w/ what I call a BIG sound...clean, clear, etc. So this "grunge" stuff was quite a change. It's been raised on the list that Sg isn't a grunge band. Do any of these bands really want that label? It would be interesting to find that out. Yes, I agree it is an attitude more than a sound. If I had to come up w/ some other label for Sg I'd say metal, but w/ a difference. Maybe intelligent metal or something b/c of the lyrics and some of the music. Is it really so important to label a band tho? I like some that I can't classify but some of them happen to be Seattle bands. Inflatable Soule is NOT grunge in any way, shape or form...unless you look at how a couple of the members dress and even then grunge is not something that comes to mind. 50 Paces is another example--they aren't a metal band, they don't play typical grunge stuff. Sweet Water...Sky Cries Mary...Seattle bands but not "grunge". I guees the point I'm trying to make is this--is it really so important that: A) we come up w/ a label and B)we even have agreement in some of this stuff? I say that b/c a few of these little discussions have been a tad disturbing in that there's a few people who come right and say someone's OPINION is WRONG. It's an opinion and opinions aren't things that are right or wrong. It may be different from yours, but since when does that make it wrong? And here's the usual disclaimer that all of this is MHO, think what you will, comments would be welcomed! have a day....ciao...deb ------------------------------ From: Seth Ward Subject: Underplayage now/Radio Hello This is going to sound backwards, I'm sure, but I would kill to have a radio station that played a lot of SG. You see, I live in the dairy state, and there are more country stations here than even pop radio. There is one station (93.7 The Edge) that plays stuff from SU or DOTU every so often, but they are more interested in Alanis and junk like that. Yuck Yuck Yuck. Is it too much to ask for a little rock and roll every now and then? These radio people must be aware that there's a huge market for this. I'm afraid that as "alternative" radio moves closer and closer to being cheese again, I will be stranded in the wilderness of big trucks and cheap beer without a lifeline. Two questions for anyone in my listening area (please, thank you). 1. Does REV 105 have a better playlist than the edge? I have heard it both ways. Do they have any plans to boost their signal so I can actually listen to them? That would be nice. 2. Wisconsin people: What is the frequency for that station near Marshfield that mixes up 70's stuff with 90's? Last time I was down there I heard them play Pretty Noose then jump right into Tom Petty (the man). Now *that* is a radio station. Any input would be greatly appreciated. A different Seth P.S.

Of course. I think that a lot of people love bass. It's just that bass is just kind of, well, subconscious(for me, anyway). Especailly when a band has such an excellent bassist as Ben Sheperd, the bass just kind of blends into the rest, giving the song a more soulful, deeper feel. In my opinion, the guitar is to the body as the bass is to the soul. Of course, that's not always the case, sometimes the guitar can have as much or more to do with the "soul" of the song ("Like Suicide", acoustic version, is a good example) as the bass. Or maybe I'm just fucked up. the most important fool Jeremiah ------------------------------ From: BdMtrFngr Subject: Re:(2): BUTOW overplayage...

I mean, would you say that Nirvana sounds >like >Alice In Chains or that Tad sounds like Soundgarden, for instance.... hairy eyeball continued this thought most eloquently, but in the interest of brevity I won't re-post his entire message. I think his opinion is clear in the above. I agree with many of his points but not with his overall conclusion. I should start by saying that I am no musicologist. I cannot speak with the certainty of a teacher of music, but I know what I hear and I know what I like. Music is a wonderful paradox. On the one hand it is purely mathematical, and objective. You can play a 1-4-5 chord progression using different chords but it will always be a 1-4-5, and all 1-4-5's will always be related. On the other side of the paradox you have music's wonderful subjectivity. The same song can sound totally different and evoke different emotions between two different people, and very often both people experience something different than what the author intended. That being said, IMHO I definitely hear similarities between many of the bands known as "grunge" or "alternative" or whatever you want to call it. It may not be a mathematical similarity, but I do get common feeling from all these groups. I definitely hear similarity between AIC and Nirvana, because both of them have written stuff that sounds like Pink Floyd. And I also hear and feel similarities between PJ and SG. These are my perceptions. But, if the only thing all these bands share is their hometown, then how come they have collaborated on so many side projects together? I.E. Temple of the Dog, Mad Season, CC appearing on AIC's SAP E.P. I don't believe that all these different musicians could have collaborated so successfully without some musical synergy. Not to mention that many of them by their own words, trace their origins to the two original Seattle "grunge" bands--Green River and Malfunkshon. But the beauty of music is that it can mean different things to different people. I don't think any one opinion is THE correct one, including my own. Sorry if that was long-winded, Paul ------------------------------ From: dumo13@erols.com Subject: hater and Ben Shepherd Yo! I'm really glad to know that you folks are alive with this raging debate thing going on! This is the list I had hoped to read!!!!!!! Two things: 1) I went to order the Hater CD and the wench at Waxie Maxies took my order... she just called a week later to tell me that it's out of print and they can't order it. Is this true? If so, where can I get one? 2) YES, JEN, I LOVE THE BASS!!!!!!!! Ben Shepherd rules. I would go as far as to say that the man has completely influenced the direction of soundgarden. DOTU screams Ben Shepherd. He is a completely inovational bassist! Never has there been a bass player who can play the rockin' groove in alternate tunings like Ben!! BEN, YOU KICK ASS! Check out the bitchin' tone he gets too, gotta love those Mesa's! Well, that's all for me, the lone Shepherd fan.

I have two questions for anyone who may be able to help: 1- Why does SG play "Searching with My Good Eye Closed" in D when they play it live? The song on BMF is in B (tuned, accordingly, BADGBE [with a low B]). I think I remember Chris saying somewhere that it was so they didn't have to fuck around with that tuning live, but "Rusty Cage" is in that tuning, and they play it in the original key live. 2-What guitars and amps does Ben use with HATER?

From: seth > Here is the track listing for the HYPE soundtrack. > > Looks like a keeper to me :-) Oh, it definitely is. The strange thing when listening to it is realizing how different "Nothing To Say" is when compared to everything else on the disc. Most of the other songs are so poppy and upbeat. Of course, the Pigeonhed track is also different than everything else, just because they're...well...different than everyone else. Weird stuff. I love it. (I'm not sure if Kim contributes anything to the track, though). And there is a "hidden" track 23 on the disc: there's about 1:19 of silence and then about 20 seconds of the Grunge Lite version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." At least someone at Sub Pop had enough of a sense of humor to include it (and if you buy the disc and look at the liner notes, you'll see the whole thing is tongue-in-cheek grunge humor). I'll scan the cover (and the photo of Kim in the liner notes) tonight and add it to the Web page ASAP. seth ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: HYPE!!!

I was reminded of how LA used to have good hard rock radio stations a couple of years ago. I was watching a TV show last night, and for a short time, they played AIC's What The Hell Have I! Anybody remember that song? You don't hear songs like that on the radio anymore(at least I don't). You don't even see those videos on eMTyV anymore. Remember Prong's "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck"? or Henry Rollins' red-painted body in "Liar"? What about the scary, cool Tool videos? Even Danzig, with "Her Black Wings". I could've sworn that he had very long sideburns in the video. Here, in LA, Riki Rachtman has a radio show, and recently dubbed Glenn Danzig as "The Satanic Fonzie". Very Funny. More videos and songs are popping into my head! Remember... Helmet---Milquetoast Anthrax--Black Lodge Slayer---Seasons In The Abyss Corrosion Of Conformity--Clean My Wounds Suicidal Tendencies--Institutionalized I Mother Earth--Rain Will Fall Flotsam and Jetsam--Waiting Through the Darkness Pantera--Hollow Megadeth--Sweating Bullets Butthole Surfers---Who Was In My Room Last Night?

I really miss those days when radio and video outlets played lots of hard songs. - -- Orange Coast College Costa Mesa California ------------------------------ From: Monnica Lewis Subject: RE: radio station Y'know, I heard some theory once that "popular" music is tied to the economy and people's overall feelings about the standard of living they have. Supposedly, when the economy is bad because of a recession or something, songs that are more "heavy" (i.e. metal, gangsta rap, "grunge") get really popular. But when people have a brighter outlook, they tend to listen to more "light-hearted" music (No Doubt, Green Day - - hmmm light-hearted punk, if you can call Green Day punk anyway). A few years ago we did have a downturn in the economy and then that "war thing" in Iraq etc. But recently the stock market's been booming, minimum wage was raised, yadda yadda. But, that's it- - just a theory. Which may be a good explanation of why DOTU has a less heavy feel, in the ears of some list members, (myself included). Maybe Chris, Kim, Matt, and Ben feel more positive, if not about the overall future of the country/ world, maybe at least about their own personal situations. Things have been pretty good for them, it would seem, not that I know them personally or anything, but that's my little opinion. Feel free to rip it shreds if you want.

And that is not the weirdest dream I've ever had. For instance, last night the Smashing Pumpkins were at my house which was right in the middle of MTV Studios and I wanted to get a picture of me with Billy, D'Arcy and James (the new drummer wasn't around) but I couldn't because I couldn't get my hair down? Very weird. And then Billy was walking along the street adjacent to mine singing Muzzle really loud, and then the police arrested him and I went down to the station to bail him out. It was very weird. And Billy was wearing this huge short-sleeve plaid shirt and black shorts, not Zero.

What the hell is the matter with ya! Don't listen to shit radio stations or don't listen to the radio full stop. If I listened to the radio all the time with the bullshit radio stations we have I'd go insane, so I listen to CD's or tapes and listen to what I want whenever the hell I feel like it. - ------------------------------------------------------------- "Loosely or tightly Everything Fits Even The Wrist On Your Arm" Applebite - Soundgarden - -------------------------------------------------------------- GD - -------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: "Greg Dunbar" Subject: Sorry This is off the topic, but can any Tool fans tell me about the new album. It's not out here for another few days. - ------------------------------------------------------------- "Loosely or tightly Everything Fits Even The Wrist On Your Arm" Applebite - Soundgarden - -------------------------------------------------------------- GD - -------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 263] ****************************************
