With all that has been going on in Soundgardenland, we got behind on our newsletter and it took a bit longer than expected to complete.

I wish I could go to the Chicago show!!!! I'm 16, and have had my driver's liscense for like 3 months, I wouldn't be able to drive down to Chicago without my parents kicking my ass. When I saw Chicago on the list and not Milwaukee I was pissed for a week straight. I can't believe they did that. At least Rush is coming to the Bradley Center (which is crappy for concerts). 91.7! That station is strage. It's good at like 4 when I come home from school with heavy blues. But during the morning it plays country, and techno at night, I've even heard gansta rap. I don't know whats up with that radio station. QFM!!!! 93.3! ROCK OF MILWAUKEE! THEY KILLED IT! ------------------------------ From: Eric Gardner Subject: #16 goes to...

Eric ------------------------------ From: michele@waterw.com Subject: Mistake Hi list Earlier I posted that the tickets to the electric factory were sold out but I was lied to mislead ect. I found tickets so if you live in the Philadelphia area I am sure you can find them too. Just don't give up I didn't alot of people said they were but if you search hard enough you will succeed but who knows if they still have them for sale now, probaly do. Anyway I just want to share my joy will the whole list. Woooooooooohoooooooooooooo! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss! I am going to see Soundgarden in my area. In the clubbish style atmosephere. Alot of less people to be squash up against. Oh the crazy happy woman will be on her way. Just wanted to share the pure joy with you all. Hi Foo! Oh if I told you the dream I had about me getting tickets n then waking up n getting the you would probaly think I am nuts. Ok well I had a team on this project getting me tickets. I had a dream that same dream again about Chris n it the end I always end up in a dark like alley. Ok as if this were to happen the guy kissed me n put two tickets in my hand. I was awoken by my ma cuz she knows how much it means to me she was working on the ticket thing too.She said she got them. Ok I am 22 n I live with my ma. As if that has any thing to do with this. I just think this is weird But my whole life has been weird like this. So as for Frued n Soundgarden dreams I happen to know a little about this Freud likes to make almost all dreams sexual from what I have read even spiders are sexaul to his theory. The guy tries to make everything related to sex in dreams or disturb things in your childhood past. I don't believe this.

IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO ENTER A FLAME WAR, DO IT IN *PRIVATE* EMAIL. I am sick and tired of reading these pathetic little posts about how much you disagree with someone on a personal level. Or how upset you are because someone insulted you. That's just it, it's you and the other party. I DON'T CARE!!! THE LIST DOESN'T CARE!!!

That being the case, I think he should invite SG to play at the Inauguration Ball (God forbid it should be Fleetwood Mac again). They could either play Slaves and Bulldozers "Every word I said, is what I mean" Or, they could play, The Day I Tried To Live "And I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar" Paul "There's two kinds of people in this world, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig." --Blondie ------------------------------ From: Seth Ward Subject: SST Superstore Greetings, The other day, while stumbling to the alarm clock I stepped on my Flower cassette and completely destroyed it. Yesterday, I broke down and went to the evil music store in town and repurchased (is that a word?) on CD. Anyway, upon opening the package, I was once again greeted with that little piece of paper from SST records that lets you order really obscure stuff at bargain rates. Has anyone actually ordered anything from this "catalog"? Does this place still exist? And, if so, do they have access to singles and stuff like that? If you have gotten anything from them, or at least know that is possible, please let me know. It would make my day. On a different note, I also bought the Hype soundtrack (because you guys recommended it so highly) and I Love It!! Probably listened to it ten times already. Kind of a good old days set of songs. Later A different Seth P.S. Let me be the first to admit that I am a freshman in college and I joined this list shortly after I got my internet account. Let me further admit that I am relatively clueless when it comes to the way the net *works*. However this is not an apology on behalf of myself or others. I am doing my best to get it all figured out. I have only gotten one flame so far, but _lots_ of positive feedback from veteran Sommsters on some of the stuff I have posted. Also some great private conversations. This has been very helpful to my learning. So far I love the Internet and I think this list kicks ass. I think that if people want things to be more intellegent and mature, then maybe they should give advice to newcomers (as some have been doing) instead of just bitching about them (I mean, us). Finally, I am glad to see everyone getting along again today. Much more fun that way. Sorry if this part was not really related.

I also want share this about myself.This past summer I Purchased a Mini-hifi system.I have it programmed to automatically power on and play BMF every mourning at 7:00am.Track 1,Rusty cage with the volume cranked up to 100db.It kicks my butt out of bed better that any alarm clock I've ever used.I don't have any neighbors in my building so it isn't bothering anyone.I live downtown up above a Karate Dojo.

I don't get Much Music here anymore. Did anyone tape the two Spotlight shows featuring Soundgarden? I'd love to get my hands on a copy. Please e-mail me privately. Thanks Monnica ------------------------------ From: Luck's Last Match Subject: stuff. (this will get to SG relation, have patience.) first of all, Dukes of Hazard rocked! (how do you think i learned how to drive?) second of all, i'm younger than shroom, but i feel like i belong to the generation before hers- namely, the flannel generation...It's wierd because i always do stuff to be different, but it seems like the stuff people do nowadays to be different is so popular they are just conforming. what does this have to do with SG? Well, music is part of culture, and it seems to me that every time i meet someone from either generation (i let them stereotype themselves) and tell them that SG is my favorite band in the whole world, they just shrug, never saying SG sucks nor yeah, SG rocks...it's wierd. seems people are afraid to claim or disown sg--non list members this is. Has anyone else encountered this? Also, the tea party rocks!!!! Yall canadian people keep me updated when they come out with a new album, and if yall know where i can get a tea party botleg, let me know! ok, i've stopped talking about sg, time to go. predney. -j "Stand up and everyone will see your holiness" -Soundgarden. ------------------------------ From: Paul_Faraguna@dbna.com (Paul Faraguna) Subject: 10/9/40 I hope Seth and the rest of the list will forgive the irrelevancy of this message--just this one time. Today, October 9, 1996 is the 56th birthday of John Lennon, and the 21st birthday of his son Sean. I just wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday. Rock on, John Paul ------------------------------ From: Kendrick Kay Subject: importance of lyrics? Do most of you SG fans pay much attention to the lyrics of SG's songs? I love SG because their music is energetic...not really because of the lyrics. When I do pay attention to them, I find that they are sort of despairing, but vigorous and violent as well... ------------------------------ Subject: Where's Martha Stewart when you need her??? From: tonerkin@usa.pipeline.com (Tonerkin) You guys are really bad influences on me. I was perfectly happy to have whatever SG CD's and tapes and what not I already had. But NO! everybody getting this and that vinyl and what about this other CD over here. So in my travels around the city today (checked out the hotel I reccommended to make sure it hadn't turned into a rat hole......It's cool Eliza! ) I stopped in at Reckless Records and I spend my future Birthday money. I got the 12" Rusty Cage poster sleeve vinyl( I will admit when I saw the poster that clinched the deal) Loud Love 12" promotional single, Loudest Love (Japanese Import CD), Burden in my hand single CD with poster and on the $1.99 rack...Truly- Fast stories from Kid Coma (sorry Hiro that it was on the cheap rack) Did I do good???? No I probably paid way too much for things BUT hey I don't have too many bad vices, don't gamble, chew tobacco or spit in public !! And baby just got a new pair of shoes when school started!!! So it's my turn! I want to turn my bathroom into my Soundgarden shrine (it's the only room that is mine alone) so all the posters, pictures etc. are headed down there. It will hurt me to take my Godzilla stuff down but I want to stand clean and naked in front of my shrine and bow three times every morning. Damn, you don't think the posters will turn black, curl up at the edges and fall off the walls when I get naked do ya???? Any one else have Soundgarden stuff proudly displayed??? any decorating hints Christy?? toni ------------------------------ From: Jeremiah Emison Subject: SG dreams and skinny Chris The other night I had this weird dream that C.C. moved into the room next to me. We passed notes through the wall, but I can't remember what they said. I went into his room later on, and he was lying on the bed, wheezing and gasping, and looking extremely skeletal, so I turned him into a magic fish so he would be ok. I think there was more, but I can't remember it. This dream was probably brought on by all the talk about how people are so worried about how skinny he looks in those pictures(what a genius at dream interpretation I am!), coupled with exitement on my part on actually getting to see them _twice_. He's probably just suffering from the rigors of touring, and will ne ok once he has a rest. Well, that's all I have to say about that.

But they did. Ah, yes, it's all coming back now. That was the only song they played from LTL. I don't recall it clearly enough to remember if they played An Unkind in it, but perhaps. Somebody should go through the boots they have from that tour to see if that happenned elsewhere. Can someone who has seen them recently tell me if they play it live now?

Soundgarden and stuff is the key phrase....this is not simply a rote information source for information @ SG, try SPIN for that....it's about the thoughts, feelings and emotions that originate from the collection of musical notes and words that comprises Soundgarden's work, mixed with the personalities, marketing and other variables that make us fans. This list transcends the band itself... (for those interested in the reflective philosophy behind pop culture...check out William Gibson's new book Idoru.

I'd also just like to give credit to Ben's tremendous bass playing on all the new songs(yes, in particular, BIMH). If I were a bass player and not a guitar player I would want to be just like him.

Truly! Perhaps we'll hear some good stuff from the rumored-to-be-upcoming album. anyone notice that their song, "heart and lungs" made it into "singles", but it's not on the soundtrack. i wonder how much more attention they'd get now if they had made it. (don't we all? hey- everyone should be a sellout!) this single has the original "WARNING: explicit lyrics! parental discretion is advised" on it. yeah, i can imagine my parents screening this for me..."honey, what's this 'big dumb sex song' about? i don't understand what these kids are getting into nowadays!" hell, my dad thought 'pretty noose' was too heavy! not like we need these stickers at all, but does anyone know why we/i rarely ever see them anymore? dan going home now to listen to "come together"... ------------------------------ From: Lee Christensen Subject: Re: limited addition??????

CD I'm listening to this week "I was Cruel" Magic Dirt ------------------------------ From: Michael Groark Subject: SOMMS I am so happy. I just found a copy of SOMMS at record store that sells used CDs in Boston. I just could not believe it. It was right there in front of me for only $15. Who would sell a collectors item like this? So whoever that guy is that takes notes on who owns SOMMS, you can add Mike Groark to the list. By the way does anyone know how many copies are in print.

Yes.. we all saw that BUT... DOTU was sold over 1 million copies (lp, ca & cd) in the US alone yet every cd that comes from the warehouse is STILL in digipak. Maybe it's limited to 6 million copies in dipipak (c: The DOTU UK (clear wax) lp IS quite rare. Only 1500 in existence according to the press release & this I believe. My import company has ZERO available & they've had ZERO available ever since the day I made my first order on them. $30 would a 'reasonable' price for it by the way since it's no longer in print & originally retailed for $21.97. I found an old Skin Yard record (with Matt sorta on the front banging on his kit & his hair hanging down) on 12" vinyl for $8.98 but I didn't buy it. Is anyone interested? I'd be happy to pick it up next chance I get if it's still there. Anyone? if I knew something else I might actually know something, ray (c: ------------------------------ From: "Jamie C." Subject: Spoonman and Singles i just saw Singles for the first time in a couple of years. i enjoyed it more this time around..... i really dug hearing that early version of spoonman in the background. cool guitar sound----> raw, unpolished-like, you know? i was thinking......... there hasn't been many times where i like the cover version of a song better than the original. (ie: lake of fire and plateau and oh me are better when their done by meat puppets instead of unplugged nirvana) but i gotta say this...... "girl u want" is pretty shitty when played by sg....but it's worse when it's played by devo. (note: i really like girl u want. but it's a bad song. kinda like blistered by hater. or the reflex by duran duran. or we only come out at night by the pumpkins. they suck.....but they kick ass) i wrote a real bad song. it was a sg-type riff with some real bad vocal parts. it was called "mellotron" in honor of sg's use of that fine instrument. ten years to Rome ten waves pushing home a face in the window mellotron. there's some lyrics for ya.... -:) <------anyone noticed that looks like alphalfa???? anyways, i thought it sounded pretty sg-ish, but it really sucked. that's my story. ******************************* "Two of us, that's dangerous" ("Kingpin" Billy Corgan - Frail And Bedazzled) ******************************* +jamie c.+ ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 269] ****************************************
