Hi SoMMSTERs!! Well...I checked the #somms-channel in UnDERNET out, but it seemed to be VERY quiet there. Actually I've been there for about 2hours and nobody came. :( So is somebody of you on IRC-net sometimes? I'd love to meet somebody of you and have an enlightening chat. =) Usually I'm always in #soundgarden on lunchtime or late noon (central european) which is morning or lunchtime in the States and evening and nite in Australia...so...visit me!!! I look forward to meet someone of you!! btw..my nick is Zap. ;) Sebastian listening to: say hello to heaven/temple of the dog - --- [no starring at the clouds] - -- ------------------------------ From: "Mark" Subject: True words of wisdom Taylor wrote " and may we all try to learn a little about *getting along with people*, which is one of the most effective tools in life."

There's also an interview with Chris that has an in-depth focus on his lyrics. There's some soundclips and a videoclip from BUTOW, too. And... there's a link to SETH'S site! :) Here's the url: http://www.musiccentral.msn.com/ThisWeekIn/Features/Soundgarden012397.htm It's *definitely* worth checking out. ~ Wednesday ~ ------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker Subject: Upside Down on the Upside Found a new rock magazine on the newstands of London this week. Monsters Of Rock!! But, hey, nevermind, there's something here on Soundgarden! Yeah, sure... It turned out to be a crappy and inacurate - not to mention *very* late - article/review of Down On The Upside. Did you know that "most of the music has been written by drummer Matt Cameron"? And that Karaoke is on there too!?! Even the pictures suck - unless of course Ben really does have red eyes. The editor asked for feedback on the first issue. I was verrrrry tempted :-) UKDeb ------------------------------ From: Rita Bonofiglio Subject: Toronto area SOMMSters Hey, If there are any TOronto area sommsters out there with good bootleg collections, can you please email me privately and let me know where in the city you got them? For the love of all things soundgarden, i can't find one store in this city with good sg bootlegs!! thanks, - -----rita ------------------------------ From: endless_nameless@prodigy.com (GRRL NIKI FREER) Subject: Re: Sexiest SG songs...

When Chris sings "and now I >send you a message of love..." it sounds COMPLETELY sarcastic and inverse... >and since I happen to find sarcasm a complete turn-on... this song just works >for me. ;-) The way that Chris draws out the 's' in "send" and "message"... >all I can say is *purrrrrrrrrrr*... now, i promised myself i wouldn't write anymore on this topic, but this particular description of possibly one of my favorite SG songs brought me back to the SOMMS board. "Mailman" is amazing, it really is. The words speak sadness and anger and hatred and love and every emotion almost. it's just one of those songs, the kind that make you lay on yr back and close yr eyes and drift away into another world. same with Slaves & Bulldozers and Beyond the Wheel and Incessant Mace. The person i am currently half involved with is one of the most sarcastic humans alive, i'm willing to place a bet on that too, and it is amazingly sexy at times. so, shroom sums it up here for me. and the refrain of "i know i'm heading for the bottom..." which just drops in tone at the end before exploding into "but i'm ridng you all the way..." is something indescribably sexy, especially right before the end of the song, where the whole chorus turns into a scream. *sigh* = ) mind riot pssst! shroom! how's ultramega unknown coming along? = ) ____ and if i'm condemned let me rest on my pillow and dream of those moments so few and if i'm blessed i'll be chasing your shadow there i go...nowhere... nowhere but you... ------------------------------ From: CL Miller Subject: fluttering homo does anyone have the tab for fluttergirl? the last time that i checked on the page, i didn't see it. if you could, please let me know. i have a good part of it figured out in standard tuning, but it sounds like it's in "g" tuning or something. thanks. even though i have only been on the list for a few months, i have to agree with seth on his clarification with the caryn and shroom mix-up. think about it people. if you work at a job for a long time, of course you are going to have more clout than someone who is just starting. i would certainly expect my superiors (as vaporous as they tend to be) to allow me a little more leeway than i would an employee i just hired. if this thread already died. . .my apologies. thanks for the reply on the "sommscovers" site, Seth! a question though: how do we get a track to you for posting? do i somehow feed it into my pc or do i send a tape or do i sing it to you over the phone? if i just need to look at something in my computer to find out, please forgive my ignorance. scariest soundgarden song? 4th of july gets it for me thought it was the end? creepiest soundgarden clip? "every word i said is what i mean" when chris sings this in a lower register, i get chills btw, is sub pop 200 worth the $16 that my local come-a-lot store is charging? i found the set-list on the sg site, but i was just wanting personal opinions! thanks! chris "the lives we make never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead." ~~c. cornell ------------------------------ Subject: Fan Club From: kalyssa@juno.com (Katie E Williams) ok.. this may sound like a really stupid question.. but to send a check to the fan club do you make the check out to "Soundgarden" or "Knights of the Soundtable".. the web page and cd's don't say.... ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: photos from 1992 http://www.rust.net/~jenifoto/sound.htm -- neat photos of chris in action! and she does sell some of them... shroom, you need to see these...

There are two ways we can go about this. Either way, I think we should make a compilation cassette. We could have a Web page with just short samples of the covers on it or we could do the full-length tracks as RealAudio or MP3 files. Either way is fine with me, but I'd like some help. In other words, I don't want to make all the sound clips from the cassette -- it would be great if people could make their own clips using their computers and then email or FTP them to me (I can provide FTP accounts for anyone who prefers this option). The easiest way to make clips is to first record your song onto cassette and then plug your cassette deck into your sound card (or audio port, if you're using a Mac or UNIX box) -- there should be sound recorder applets already on your computer. seth ------------------------------ From: Jennifer Kern Subject: your lucky day! Hello everyone!!! Well, I went a little crazy on a SG shopping spree, and failed to realize that I had purchased two copies of the Black Hole Sun 7 inch picture disc. I'm feeling very generous and thought I would give it to someone who would like it, and who hopefully doesn't already have it. Anyone who's interested email me privately at: jkern@speakeasy.org. If several people would like it, I'll draw names. Email me by this Tuesday and I'll announce who will recieve it on Wednesday. Hope you all have a great weekend!! JEN ------------------------------ From: Rebekah Henderson Subject: The sexiest SG songs. Well, the Good Word of Soundgarden is an ever growing and changing book. There's always new installments as the years pass. But I have some songs that I think are sexy in their own ways. If you open up the book of Ultramega OK and find track 11, you'll come upon the song of Head Injury. I find Chris' voice very sexy when he says "You got a kiss for me, sweet and frail. You got a fist for me, sure to impale. My hand on my head, your words are like arrows. My hand on my head, my mind growing narrow," in a monotone voice. Very nice. If you look in the same book and track 12, you'll see Incessant Mace. This song is very swanky and sexy, due to the music and once again, Chris' voice. Now, please open up the book of Superunknown and find track 12. This is Fresh Tendrils. When Chris sings "If it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eye" all I can say is "Chris, you would be the "it" in question!!!!" We'll now carry on to the book of Down On The Upside, track 11. This would be Tighter & Tighter. The lyrics "Tight and deep. One last sin before I'm dead. A sucking holy wind will take me from this bed tonight" and "And I hope it's a sweet ride here for me tonight" are very sexual. Please stay in the same book and go on to track 14. This will bring us to Overfloater. I think the bass and the Rhodes piano are very sexy in this song. I find the overall sound of the song to be very mischievious. Well, those are my picks for the sexiest SG songs. They're in no particular order. Please obey the Good Word of Soundgarden. May Soundgarden be with you. Rebekah ------------------------------ From: Mike Lecocke Subject: Cash video I saw the funniest thing on tv today. I walked into the living room, and heard the familiar words of Rusty Cage. (It's very important that you know that I heard before I saw.) Well, I found this very strange (all of this was going thru my head in about half a second) because the voice was not that of The Holy One, but of someone else, very different from Chris. Yea, if you haven't figured it out already, it was the Johnny Cash version of Rusty Cage. I guess I was so surprised because I had NO idea he had made a video for the song. It was pretty much just Mr. Cash singing in a studio. Not much else, although I do believe that Tom Petty is playing guitar (I swear it looked just like him.)in the video. Anyway, it was really funny because I hadn't listened to the song yet on Lance's (what a man, that Lance) tapes, so it was a complete surprise. A good one though. I just kept wondering what Chris' face must have looked like when he first heard it... :) Later, luv Margret *I wonder what Ben thought of it* ------------------------------ From: Eric Gardner Subject: puto, err...I mean BUtOW I always start out with the best of intentions...to compile the names, draw one and send the thing out. Inevitably, I wind up putting things off over and over as I fall behind. That said, the BUtOW promo single goes to none other than our heralded list admin. Praise cheeses.
