Re: Temple of The Dog seattle SOMMSfest report go to where the reptiles roam... ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker Subject: Hi Ho, Hi Ho! I videoed an all too brief interview with Chris from The Hit Mix (Sky One) yesterday. It took place when they were over in the UK. Chris looked very, relaxed and affable and even made more eye contact than usual. I haven't the patience to stop and start the video so can write down all he said (sorry :-)!) but one thing made me laugh. When asked for what must be the trillionth time if all the Seattle bands still hung out together, Chris replied that they all lived in the same house, shared a giant 30 foot bed with their names on the headboard and wore matching nightshirts and nightcaps!! Where's my Snow White costume?!!! I think Kim would have to be Doc, Chris would be Bashful, Matt is Dopey (b/c he smokes all that weed) and Ben would be Grumpy! UK Deb BTW Have you kicked me off this list Seth, I haven't received a digest since last Wednesday!? ------------------------------ From: Lacher001@aol.com Subject: chicago tix This is for whoever is in charge of the chicago show.

Mohanty" Subject: Info about Blow Up the Outside World single B-sides I just found out what the b-sides for both parts of the BUTOW UK CD and the 7" singles that will be released on Novmeber 4th from my local import store. Here they are: Blow Up The Outside World (Part 1): 1.Blow Up the Outside World 2.A Splice of Spacejam (previously unreleased) 3.Gun (live)* 4.Get on the Snake (live)* *recorded live at L.A.'s Whiskey-A-Go-Go in 1990 Part 2: 1.Blow Up the Outside World 2.Dusty (Moby Remix) Blow Up the Outside World 7": 1.Blow Up the Outside World 2.Dusty (Moby Remix) I think that "Splice of Spacejam" is a track similar to Jerry Garcia's Finger when SG was recording the extra music for the CD Plus at Space Studio. Note that the live tracks might be recycled b-sides from some of the Louder Than Love singles. Also, one of the CD's will be the limited edition digipak similar to the Burden and Pretty Noose singles, but I'm not sure if there will be a poster included with though.

Click here > for more information. there's m ore information about ToTD available on seth's page, http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden/releases/totd.html ToTD have only performed officially three times (or so), as well as a couple of spontaneous reunions during lolla 92 (when both soundgarden and pj were on the bill) and one other time. you can read all about that also on my pearl jam page, five horizons, at http://www1.ixa.net/horizons i just got word that Pearl Jam performed "Hunger Strike" as an encore at their show in Dublin yesterday. ARGH!! of COURSE they never do it here... a nice treat for the european fans, but i'm gonna be killing myself until that tape gets here.... - --caryn ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: seattle SOMMSfest report well, everyone got tickets for the seattle shows, even a certain person who overslept and had to make it to ticketmaster in her pajamas. (no names -- but her initials were VA) key arena was selling the tickets without a service charge, as the List Thug reported, so we went there at around 6:30 am. people SLEPT OUT OVERNIGHT for these tickets, which i personally found a little excessive, but what the hell. the classic rock station annoyed us all night with their 'soundgarden ticket countdown'. "2 hours and 10 minutes until soundgarden tickets go on sale." SHUT UP! do you have to tell everyone? ;-> last night we attemped to have SOMMSfest gathering #2 at my house. unfortunately, this was shadowed by the following events: o shroom and dena getting their car window smashed while parked in the parking lot behind silver mgmt ;-((( o the list thug parking his car in a tow-away zone ;-((( otherwise, a lovely time was had by all and we're gonna have some great new video stills for the page. ;-) including one of kim in a santa claus hat! this morning we made it to the record fair -- a total wipeout this time around. tomorrow is dena's birthday, so everyone wish her happy b-day. they were off to bainbridge island today, so if ben hasn't taken them out with his shotgun, we're probably going to celebrate at the ok hotel tomorrow night. later, - --caryn ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: go to where the reptiles roam...
