Although I don't personally find any SG songs "freaky" or "scary", as such, i can see what you mean about this song. It has got a feel all of its own, which is in its very nature, quite dark and sinister.

Keep in mind that when you post to the list, everyone is getting a copy of it. Also, remember that the majority of people on the list are young adults so please don't post like you are some 12 year old kid...like this: ****************************************************************************** > YO, > > HEY, WHAT THE HELLS WRONG WITH BEING A SOUNDGARDEN FAN NOW??

Thanks and if you have any questions about our list, don't hesitate to ask. listadm...uh concerned citizen, - -vincent ------------------------------ From: crose@intermind.com (Caryn Rose) Subject: mailing list etiquette to follow up vince's message, and also to address people who keep wondering why they are getting a bad rap, here's some general information i pulled off of the net: Mailing List Etiquette Mailing lis etiquette is for the most part the same brand of common-sense etiquette you learned at your mother's knee. Be considerate of others. Do not type your messages in all upper case, which is considered SHOUTING. Use the same grammar, punctuation and style as you would use in any ordinary document. Yes, the email world uses its own vocabulary of cutesy acronyms, but don't overuse them, or you will descend into self-parody. If you are responding to a previous message, quote the relevant portion so that your reply has a proper context. Do not quote the entire message. Be aware that list participants may come from all over the world. Don't assume that all your parochial references will be understood. Be tolerant of spelling and grammatical errors -- not all subscribers use English as their first language. Make good use of your email program's subject line. On large lists, readers often scan subject lines and delete the messages that don't interest them, so make sure that your subject line accurately describes your content. Try to avoid asking questions that have been asked and answered many times. Some mailing lists maintain a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) file. Read it! Read the list for a week or two before you post a message -- this will give you a good idea of the tone and content of typical posts. - --------- I realize that some of you do not have web access and therefore cannot view seth's great soundgarden page, which could answer many of your questions. If you don't have access and have a specific question, ask the list, someone will probably be glad to send you the information. Also realize that this list has been chugging around for a while now, and topics that may seem exciting to you may have already been discussed ad nauseum here, hence the reason you don't get an enthusiastic reaction. on the subject of .sig files (my own pet peeve from when I need to go on digest format): Subject: How long can I make my .sig? Ideally it should be as short as possible while still getting across whatever you feel is important that it contain. The very best .sig of all is probably just a single line with your name and email address. Remember that while an ASCII graphic or witty saying may be cool the first time, it's going to be boring by the time someone sees it five times, and if it's large enough to attract the eye, will get annoying very quickly. Unlike news, where space is relatively cheap, so larger sigs are more forgivable, and four lines or more is typically the norm, mailing lists feed into a person's private mailbox. Thus, each subscriber is paying for every byte you send them, so if too much of that is a .sig which contains no useful information, but is just repeated over and over, many people will quickly start to feel less favourably inclined towards your contributions to the list. Subject: Can I post binaries, or other large files to the list? Almost always, the answer to this is no. Mail sent to mailing lists is going into subscribers' private mailboxes, some of which are not set up to handle really large pieces of mail. Typically, you should put large files up on an ftp or web site, and then post an announcement to the list with instructions on how to access the files. If you do not have access to ftp or web facilities, contact the owner of the list, and s/he may be able to help you out. There may be a few cases where posting such material would be appropriate, but you should definitely contact the list owner first and make sure you have his or her approval before doing so. - -------- if you ask questions nicely, don't shout on the list, and don't send twenty one-line posts in which your .sig file is the longest thing in it every day, we're happy to have you. Just some basic common internet courtesy. - --caryn ------------------------------ From: PFilipek@aol.com Subject: no attention If that SG cover thing is still going to happen, TBA, my band, would be willing to do "No Attention".

I thank you all for your help and info. I contacted all of those places, but I kept getting the same answer. No longer available. But I persisted and launched my own search to find the elusive Screaming Life book, and I find it!!!!!! For anyone looking for this wonderful piece of Seattle history, call 1-800-331-3761. This is the number for Harper Collins Publishing. Snail mail: Harper Collins Publishing P.O. Box 588 Scranton, PA 18512 There is supposed to be a compilation CD that comes with it, but I didn't receive it. Now for me, this is no big whoop because I wanted the book more than anything.

Attention kiddies... I know that a bunch of you are new to SOMMS, so take heed. Everyone has been *amazingly* tolerant of all the inane crap that has been posted here in the last month or so... but it has to stop. (And no cracks about the inane stuff I post, I've done my time on this list and therefore earned the right to post meaningless crap. ;-) If any of you had posted last year, you would have been RIGHTFULLY flamed to hell and back. I know that we're all trying to be nice and get along here... but I'm tired of it. The "has alot of time on their hands" post was too much. As a fully authorized SOMMS deputy, I'm afraid that I have to announce this: ***Post anything like that again, and I'll kill you.*** Oops... that was a KTMS post. I meant to say, don't post things like that anymore please... or else I'll have to get the SOMMS Sheriff (thuggy) to kill you. Killing is out of my jurisdiction. I can only break kneecaps and such. *sigh* Two more quick things... as to the "scariest song" thread, I don't find any of SG's stuff frightening. Exhilarating, yes... scary, no. My favorite song for the last month has been "New Damage" with Brian May. I had thought that "Beyond the Wheel" gave me chills... but THIS song just knocks me over. Chris really went off on it vocally. I'd *love* to hear him do it live... just like this version. =) The second thing is in reference to the SiCA webpage. I know I had posted that I'd have it finished by today... but I'm running into some snags, so I'll work on it this weekend, and have it up on Monday. Thanks to everyone who wrote and asked about it. =) You guys are the greatest! :::still imaging Chris in wet boxers... but have added a hot tub::: Shroomy "Shroom, even though you're the official SOMMS hootchie, I'm afraid that Seth is just infinitely sexier than you... so I'm taking him with me to Hawaii instead.

I know, I know...it's too early. Anyway, today I was in CD Exchange (Ok place in town where I picked up Fresh Deadly Rarities and Stolen Prayers) and I was paying for a Bjork cd for my friend's birthday present, when the guys who work there started talking to me. They asked if this (Bjork) was all I was getting and I said yes; there's no new SG stuff. (Actually, if anyone's interested in Fresh Deadly Rarities, they have one there. Just email me if you are, and I'll see what I can do. It's an excellent boot.) Anyway, the guys are like,"Oh, we're getting in this new, live cd from them. It's a double cd." Naturally, you can imagine my reaction to this. I had to know when it was coming in and so on. (not for about 3 or 4 weeks) Anybody know anything about this? Also, they told me they were getting in a poster they had had before (but sold) of Chris. It's of his face, of course. I was obviously interested in that too. Then, to top it all off, this guy standing next to me started talking to me and asking me if I like SG. "Well, yes I do", I replied. He then goes on to tell me that he has a poster of Chris with his hair flipped, bare-chested (Louder than Love cover, I informed him) that he got from the band a long time ago when his band opened for SG when they came to San Antonio! WOW! I didn't really care about the poster, but the band-thing was pretty cool, I thought. Then I had to leave, because I was already late to class. Oh well, it was interesting/fun. Um...by the way, #Somms is oh so lonely.

You are more than welcome here. We oldtimers would just lapse into an endless flurry of inside jokes if new people didn't join us and start new threads. However, Caryn and Shroom are absolutely right: there's a right way to do things and there's a wrong way to do things. The right way would be to follow Caryn's etiquette suggestions. The wrong way would be to flame her. As much as I like to fancy myself an impartial listadmin, my judgement is swayed by the length of time you've been on the list and the amount of Soundgarden-related content you've contributed. Caryn and Shroom, for example, have what amounts to permanent immunity (and don't you *dare* let this go to your heads, you two) -- they've both been around long enough and contributed enough that they would have to *really* push me to remove them from the list. With new people, however, I am far less tolerant, and am becoming less and less tolerant each day. I almost always give everyone a second chance, but after that, I have no qualms about removing you from the list. Respect your elders. Or at least have the decency to use private email if you must flame someone. On another note, the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of you have Web access. I know this because your subscribe requests all come from that lovely little form on the Web page. I urge you to read what the site has to offer before you post. If there any problems with finding stuff on the site, I'd be more than happy to direct you to the right place.

The Alternative NRG version of "New Damage" is far heavier and more powerful than the BMF version (not that the BMF version is a skipper by any stretch of the imagination).
