Hello all!  I was just wondering if there were any musicians in L.A. 
that were looking to play music.  Let me know. : )

Well, I finally decided to check out the page and I clicked on that stupid
bug thing as well ( by mistake). One minute I was with SG, the next
I had a full-blown picture of a wasp in front of me. Some other links
included an insect homepage and another site on butterflies.

I really don't get it either.
What's this connection between SG and bugs? Do they have this secret
obsession with insects we don't know about? The only 'connection' I can
think of right now, is the fact, that a bee once stung Chris's eyelid, while
he was driving his motorcycle, but I hardly think this would make him like
these insects even more!
And why does that insect in the beginning eat the globe?

The pics at the beginning are quite cool. Anyone noticed that the pic
with the blue background a lot of people like, is similar to the one
in "Seconds" magazine? The only difference is that Chris is lying down
in the magazine version, but he's still wearing those corny 'Statue of Liberty'
sunglasses.

And one thing that annoys me (that noone has mentioned yet) is the fact
that the favorite song poll, doesn't even include all SG songs! They have
most of the B-sides, but they don't have Cold Bitch! Tsk, tsk......

And to end my post with yet another question: does anyone know anything
about the two new SG songs that appear in the lyrics' section and are
supposed to be unreleased? I hope they'll be new B-sides.

well, that's all for now...

Subject: New Songs

I'm going to cry. Just when I thought I was finally closing in on having
every song SG has ever released in any form (i.e. demos, boot legs, etc) I
hear there are two more songs I am missing??????????? <sniff, scratching head
in frustration>

Would someone give me the information on "Ocean Fronts" & "Clean my Gun".
Where are these songs from? Are they available? Can I get them? Has anyone
heard them? Please let me know.

Also, does anyone out there have the B-sides to the various "Outshined"
singles? I would like to set up a trade for taped copies of them if any of
fellow SOMMSters would be willing to help out.

P.S. FINALLY got a SOMMS disc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's pristine. Looks like
it's never even been listened to!!!!!!!!!!!

Subject: Truly show

Hi all-
I finally was able to see Truly paly last night @ Moe's in seattle. I
didn't hear about the show until about 9 last night, otherwise i would've
contacted other seattle sommsters. (sorry guys!) It's the first show
they've played in 9 months. Aside from some technical difficulties-they
were amazing. All of the songs were from their last album, with only 2 new
ones, so I guess there's no new cd coming soon. It was a small crowd, but
Hiro looked very chipper. Everyone coming to seattle sommsfest on oct
25th-bring earplugs! My ears are still ringing.

Quote of the night: The drummer to the audience in between songs: "I'm
going to pull a Chris Cornell & take off my shirt." ouch.

	Can anyone confirm that the Irvine date has been moved to San
Diego?  
	Caryn-  I was at that show and I dont remeber Chris using a
Fender. I have some pictures at home and now I am curious.  I will have
to check it out.  Chris usually uses Les Paul's by Gibson or a Les Paul
look alike.  I read that he likes the raw sound of the cheap wood.

what riles me, justin, is the fact that that's EXACTLY what they're trying
to do -- not just 'tapping in', but CONTROLLING.  it probably drives them
nuts that we're over here without any interference or control and that all
they can do is subscribe to the list, period.  the list is ours; even the
web page is, in a sense, ours.  their web page and their 'chat boards'
(ugh, thankyouverymuch) will always be inferior because they are lacking
what makes our community great:  *US*!  are we going to stay up all night
typing articles for their page?  no.

i might view them more kindly if they acted like they  had a clue what
we as fans wanted, or if they even realized that most fans out there are
still using a 14.4 modem and can't see their stupid image maps and that
their STUPID BUGS which have NO POINT WHATSOEVER are a drain on resources.

on a slight tangent, the bug thing made me think of one thing and one
thing only:  the bee scene in 'singles'.  ;-)  i love that scene!

soon to be featured on the page:  a picture of shroom in front of the
'singles' apartment building, standing in the same spot that chris did.

soon to be featured on the page: video stills from the first and only
live ToTD performance. ;-)  (well, it'll be on five horizons too. ;-) )

you're right, he does.  Brydon wrote me and said that chris *did* use
fenders that tour, and it wasn't a jaguar, but rather a jazzmaster (which
does look similar, so i'm vindicated).  i'm certain about the show, so
maybe it was just during a few songs?

Or rather, SG in Oakland.  Last time I was there, the
Henry J. Kaiser arena was in Oakland, across the bay from SF. 
Maybe they moved it and no one told me.  And what's with this 
one date only crap...I was actually going to conquer my fear
of crowds and go to both of the Warfield shows (which are no 
more).

Thu	Dec 5	San Francisco	Kaiser Arena		7900		
Sat	Dec 7	Vancouver BC	PNE Forum		4000		
Sun	Dec 8	Salem		Salem Armory		3250		
Tue 	Dec 10	Seattle		Mercer Arena		5000

...no further details, but the radio here is reporting that the tickets for
the seattle date go on sale *next* saturday, october 26. 
shroom, dena, you'll probably be despatched as placeholders at the various
ticketmaster locations around town.

KTMS local squad, write me to discuss ticket buying strategy.  I have my
secret ticketmaster locations that produce excellent seats (8th row for the
who!) if you get there early enough.  List Thug and brother, we know you
have your own sources.

next stop, vancouver!!

done any other stooges covers before?????

shroom, are you familiar with this one?  i think you'd love to see chris
sing this too... <evil grin>

From: seth <saperl@MIT.EDU>

According to Ticketbastard's website, tickets for the Nashville show
are currently on sale. Could someone from Tennessee please try to find
out when the tickets first went on sale? I'd like the info for the Web
page. I put down Oct 4 temporarily, and in the grand scheme of things
it's completely inconsequential, but it'll drive me crazy until it's
correct. :)

thanks,
