They have a pre-order discount, so if you order 'Down Under on the Upside' before Jan.12th they'll only charge you $12.59 (regular price: $13.99). Both these prices seem quite reasonable, considering you're getting 2 CDs. Their URL is: http://igg.com e-mail: igg@igg.com sabrina ------------------------------ From: "B.

Monnica :-) ---------- From: eric & staci To: somms Subject: the olsen twins and the case of the missing black hole sun special effects/ help with lyrics. Date: Wednesday, January 08, 1997 10:44PM Anyway, help me out guys: "Throw yourself away Give me little bits of, more than I can take if it sits upon your tounge or naked in your eyes give me little bits of, more than I can try." Does anyone know this lyric? It isn't any Soundgarden song I've ever heard but I don't have them all. I've been wracking my brain but I just don't know (even thought it seems familiar). It kinda sounds like a Tool song I've heard, dee dee? Any input would be appreciated. Staci ------------------------------ From: Vincent Varkey Subject: Spin Online, Moby, and Soundgarden I was searching through Spin Online last night when I found something very interesting. Last month, Julia Chaplin of Spin magazine interviewed Moby and this is what he had to say (this is Soundgarden related): - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spin: Why the change? (referring to the change from Moby's techno style in the past to the more hard rock or punk styles on his new album "Animal Rights") Moby: I guess over time I lost interest in electronic dance music. Soundgarden is one of my favorites of the old school Seattle sound. I re-mixed three versions of their song "Dusty". One is a experimental jungle mix, one is a Led Zeppelin version and one is a slow sad blues mix that was Chris Cornell's favorite. He went back and played additional guitar on it and now its a new song. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did anyone know about there being 3 different versions of Dusty? This is news to me. So what do the rest of you think about this? Comments welcome. - -vincent ------------------------------ From: Taylor Holmes Subject: Re: PN Grammy Nomination KAISERVRBL@aol.com wrote: > > Not that it matters, but to me it's almost kind of insulting to be nominated > for a Grammy. > > The Grammy awards are a totally money "flavor of the moment", that celebrates > the shit that ruins good music(i.e. commercialized, homginized, lobotimized > horse shit to be consumed by our mostly braindead & lethargic society) God, I could'nt agree more with the above statement. > Soundgarden, it's members, & it's music, reflect none of these things.

For all of you who passed on the Fresh Tendrils info. to me I wanted to say that after I posted my last message I pulled out my SUPERUNKNOWN and listened to Fresh Tendrils and it's a BAD song (bad = very good). I think I've alway's tended to stop and FF at Kickstand (never really liked that song) and ended up missing a gem like Fresh Tendrils. Thanks again, Staci ------------------------------ From: lackluster.hero@thenexus.com Subject: BM hey all.. i was just at the local record store.. actually, 2 of em.. ;) and i saw something i might mention to the list, someone apparently went to the store and sold all of their lolla '92 bootlegs.. they had lush and jesus and mary chain, pearl jam, and soundgarden.. i heard it was bad quality, so i didn't buy it (also, i have enough soundgarden bootlegs from that period of time) :) i lucked out on a vinyl of jawbox's "for your own special sweetheart", but i'll save that for the jbx mailing list.. (wish they had one) ANYWAY, it was only $8, used, but seemed to be in pretty good condition, if someone wants it, i'll go get it for ya (but reimburse me the $8). :) lackluster.hero@thenexus.com ------------------------------ From: "Steven Russell Jr." Subject: Fairfax Video Contest! Hey List! Ok, I have one video mailer and one video tape left...I also have everything set up to do a dub. So...... I've decided to join the list people who've done a Somms contests. Can you say bored? hehe :-) This one is a little different than the send your name in variety (/me waves to no. cal)...you're gonna work for this one :-) What you win: A copy of the Fairfax, VA 11/20/96 video sent to your home tomorrow afternoon. The Contest: Simply name the band, the album title and the song whose lyrics are below. Easy huh? But there is one small catch, I also want to know the name of the studio the song was recorded in. It's easy if you think about it. Yeah, this is real tough for 95% of you...but well worth what the winner will be paying. Zip! Someone will win this... Lyric: "Some friends of mine just the other night went to hear this cool cat blow They said he sang so good that the roof fell in and he didnt even stop the show They don't remember the place, but they remember the face...." Bonus Question (for ties...be creative, these are hard...I'll give credit for originality) What month and year was this album released? A valid (but trick) question if you know the answer. The album above was the *most* anticipated album when it was released. It was HUGE! in terms of sales and critical praise. Another band released their album the same day. It was a huge follow up to one of the most successful Metal albums ever. The album, um...sucked...was a major critical and sales disappointment and so began the bands downhill slide. They were buttrock before the term buttrock was invented. Name the band and the album. Rules: none really...although, .you must enter before I wake up tomorrow afternoon ;-) That will give digest people time to enter. Good Luck!

Anyway, i was just thinking how *COOL* would be having Soundgarden on The Simpsons (it happened with Smashing Pumpkins and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, why shouldn't with SG ?), with Homer busy drinking tons of beer with Chris, both saying "Oh, Beer.." at every draught,completely fucking drunk, Lisa making a Saxophone-Guitar duet with Kim, Bart and Ben making spit-competitions using Flanders as target...oops..what would Matt do? I can't think of anything right now! Help me please, Simpsons and SG fans!!! (don't kill me Seth, *THERE IS* a little SG content here...) ok, something serious now... i just couldn't find the movie HYPE anywhere, so i suppose it's only an American thing...if someone has it, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE(shall i go on?)

I > would really like to see that--where did you see it? > you also pluralize "CDs". Is there more than one version of the BUTOW > single? Oh yes, the BUTOW single. I got that and... I was disappointed. The moby remix of Dusty was the only thing in the package worth the money. The rest (two live tracks and that "...spacejam" travesty) weren't at all awe-inspiring. I hate live tracks on singles anyway, IMO its what bands do when they can't think of any proper songs to put on a single, and as for that "...spacejam", well, I never thought I'd ever dislike a song by Soundgarden, but that was awful!! It sounded like they were tuning their instruments before recording something - and they had a cheek to put it on a CD for #4.99 and sell it to their fans. Pah!! Anyway, enough of that, I've recently acquired the "Spoonman", "Outshined" and "Flower" singles I've been looking for for ages just for the bonus tracks, and they're all good. Lastly, Haooy New Year to all you sommsters - and I hope y'all had good Christmasses (everyone I know was ill over Christmas!!).

To any other sommsters who are wondering what's on this poster, it's the same shot of the band that appeared on the cover of Rip last summer.

Some would contend that SG seems to be moving in a more >commercialized direction... I don't now who, though.... :) hmmm.... but I assume if someone contended this, it would have nothing to do with their Grammy nomination, since they've been getting nominations with every album (except LTL) since UMOK. Although I agree with Lance on what the Grammys represent, I always found it strange that they first nominated SG when they weren't exactly 'popular'. Of course they most probably did it to seem 'cutting edge'......."hey look everyone, we've nominated a band on an indepedent label.... we're not commercial after all" :) Carolyn wrote: >Oh Sabrina, I wish we knew this before!

I really didn't want to post that IGG thing actually, 'cos I knew something like this might happen, but I also know there are a lot of people out there, who don't have the $40 to spend on the tour package. I hope that none (or hardly any) of the sommsters on Carolyn's or Georgia's list will ditch them in favor of a mail order company. I've had a lot of people ask me about IGG, and even if some of you change your mind and decide to order from them, I don't think IGG has *that* many copies of the tour package, since they claim it to be 'limited edition' and there are about a million other people out there that get the IGG update. One last thing: the tour package apparantly isn't listed on their homepage. I didn't know this, since I only get their e-mailed lists, so if you want to order the package, don't bother going to their website; just e-mail them (igg@igg.com) The price they're asking for is *extremely* low though..... does anyone remember how much bmf/somms first cost when it came out? sabrina ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 3 Issue 9] **************************************
