Anyways, some of you know that Riki has his own radio show here in LA. He was talking about getting a new job--being the host for Rockline. It's a shame we don't get it here in SoCali. Maybe Riki will do an interview with SG. They seemed compatible together. Better than those old-fart radio-show hosts who don't even know about the band their interviewing!

He said he felt uncomfortable surrounded by all the big-shot musicians arriving in their limos, and the only reason he went, was 'cos 'his manager' (why doesn't he just say Susan?) persuaded him to go, saying it's a good chance to thank his fans, friends and family. He agreed and said that he couldn't hide from award shows forever, or else people would think he's a snob. From this I conclude that Chris enjoyed the Grammy award show at first, 'cos it was new and exciting to him, but that at one point he got fed up with all the hype surrounding it. I'm sure he still appreciates it to some extent, but I also think he'd prefer an award given to him by his fans (through magazine polls or something). I don't know about the rest of the band, but I'm sure they feel the same way. sabrina ------------------------------ From: psyche Subject: Re: the day i tried to win...

Any artist/record company relationship involves compromise. I'm sure it was the record company's idea, but I am equally sure Soundgarden just said "yeah, whatever". They probably want to concentrate on the things they do best and leave that stuff to the record execs. They aren't Fugazi and they've never been shy of saying they wanted to be on a major label. Same with the fact that these bonus tracks aren't anything new. If and when Christi et al are ever released it will be because *the band* wants them to be released. Although I'm sure A&M would be more than happy to put them out. But from a practical point of view, the Australian market probably isn't big enough to justify an ep of exclusive, unreleased tracks.

Well Im up for a huge week of Soundgarden, Im going to see them in Newcastle as well on the 29th Jan. and then the Hordern on the 30th Jan. And last night of friend of mine mentioned a rumoured surprise support gig for the John Spencer Blues Explosion, not sure whether this is in Sydney or not and these Blues Explosion guys havent announced any gigs as far as I know, I havent gotten hold of this weeks Drum Media to check yet...... so that is a bit exciting and could be another chance to see SG. I'll keep you all updated if I find out anything more. I cant stand You Am I either, and the other support are the Fauves, honestly they could have come up with better than that, how about the Hanging Tree or Harpoon or oh oh Savage Garden (he he he).

As far as unofficial sites go, seth's is the best i've seen so far. It's a amazing how ONE fan can have so much SG info on his site. I have not yet seen a PJ site like this, and they're pretty damn popular. Not to diss other 'unofficial' sites--they're good too, but I have seen nothing yet that compares to seth's. I can also say that they're's nothing too artsy-fartsy on his site. Downloading images is not so damn time-consuming! GO SETH!

I deem a song a "classic" when it manages to stand the test of time; when it it still has a profound effect on me after many, many listens. Most of the other songs took a while before making onto this elite (?) list, but I find that BIMH is a worthy choice. I know it sounds pretty trendy, but I feel that it is the best song on DOTU, IMHO. Still under consideration: "Here Is No Why" (SP), "Under The Bridge" (which has been passed over a couple of times), Say Hello 2 Heaven (just realized its impact on my young, circa 1992, grade 10 life), and "The Bazaar" (The Tea Party) there. just wanted to share that. - -- +jamie c.+ * --------------------------------------------------- * * "in your sad machines....you'll forever stay..." * * (billy corgan) * * --------------------------------------------------- * ------------------------------ From: lucas king Subject: Chris Cornell Interview I wrote earlier about a Chris interview I dubed off a local radio station.

Prices in the market cannot be blamed on the dealer if the market is buying it at that price. Yes, prices did become too high for the album. But people still paid. And I have yet to see a Butchers priced at $300 to $500 NOT move for an extended period of time...in all my years of collecting. this is a forum for fans, fair prices are usually tolerated, but when Dena in her spare times combs used record stores in her area to find copies of SOMMS which she then sells to this list for COSTS and POSTAGE, we're not going to accomodate a price we feel is unfair. we live in a capitalist society, save me the lectures, this isn't a forum where we take advantage of each other. *that's* what we're talking about here. just because you can take advantage of someone doesn't mean you should. *shrug* >> Please! The only reason why the price of this Promo is so high is because A&M releases it it limited supply, for radio only, then says "Please don't sell this disc!". What does that do? Drives people to spend large amounts of money which raises the fan hysteria which increases the fan base which sells more records. The only reason why this is priced so high is because fans pay that amount of money for it. So who's the real fan: the person who buys it at cost and sells it at cost OR the person who pays little and sells for a lot. It's moot because in the end, you're both just part of the corporate plan in the end to promote the band(which, yes is a promotional and marketing strategy...maybe you can work with me at a label sometime). I'd just rather be a paid pawn than just a pawn .

I mean the artists who get nominated and then whine about it. Actually I disagree that the Grammys represent commercial rather than artistic accomplishment, at least as far as Soundgarden is concerned. UltraMegaOK was nominated in 1988 and it was far from commercial. Soundgarden seems to represent "risk-taking", or maybe "political correctness" to the Grammys. My whole point was that just because they are nominated it doesn't mean they buy into the whole scene. >All in all, it's an accomplishment for the band and... there >will be lot's of free beer... Now you're getting it:)) Kathie ------------------------------ From: Carolyn Hanel Subject: I have the Aus bonus CDs.......Down Under on the Upside After yesterday's post to the list I heard nothing from anyone about = them actually having one of these disks, so I'm assuming they aren't yet = out in America? Well, they're here in Australia. Georgia has hers too. Just thought = I'd let anyone interested know a bit about it: The CD looks exactly the same as the plain DOTU, except on the spine as = well as 'down on the upside' it has, in upside down writing, 'down under = on the upside'. And inside the CD cover are two CDs, not one. The = first one is the same as the standard DOTU - a dark purple colour = picture of the band. The second one - bonus - looks exactly the same = but the CD is red, not purple. It has the songs listed on the actual CD = (as DOTU has), the same as Seth had posted the list, and there is a bit = of info about each song on the inside back cover. No lyrics for them = like with DOTU. Cheers Carolyn the Mischievous Frenchwoman I think it's turning back around, and I think I like it......Soundgarden ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 3 Issue 13] ***************************************
