It totally surprised me to see that the movie has come to this sleeply little town, in the middle of nowhere. I guess this gives hope to other people in sleeply little towns who probably thought the same thing I did, "Will I ever get to see this movie?" Keep hope alive, and your prayers just might get answered by the Mighty Soundgarden Gods. Peace. stella ------------------------------ From: Eric Gardner Subject: freebie #22 The next item not up for bids here on The Price Sucks is a cd for Matt Cameron fans. It is the Tone Dogs Ankety Low Day cd, with Amy Denio, MC Drummer and someone else who's name escapes me at the moment. I originally did buy this for myself, unlike most of the other giveaway items, but I just can't get into the music. (I realize this makes me an unworthy SG fan, so there is no need for anyone to point that out) The usual crap: email to enter, winner picked at random. Winner (only) must provide a shipping address. Once notified, the winner has 5 days to claim his/her prize. Entries taken until Saturday, February 1st. ***Make sure you understand all of the above before entering*** Eric ------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker Subject: Request for Request Can any sommster help me in my hour of need? I have tried every way I can think of to get hold of a copy of Request Magazine October 1994. Their back issues department said it was one of their most popular issues ever and sold out really quickly. I wonder why? ;-) Now, someone who is, or was, contributing to Seth's site scanned in the cover and some of the pix (including the one of Chris and Susan)and sent them to Seth. So, whoever you are, if you are reading this and want to send me a xerox copy of the article, I would be *eternally* grateful. And of course I would type it up for the website so everyone could enjoy it. Fingers crossed. UKDeb ------------------------------ From: Georgia Kennedy Subject: 3 hrs of power interview with Kim I set myself up to tape the said interview, but because I pressed record and went to sleep, I didn't calculate the timing properly, and only ended up with 4 of the Festering Five tracks. He talks about the movie "Hype", Seattle before and after ("it was a lot quieter"); american radio; deciding to play guitar at 16 because he was a KISS fan, and thought "I could do this"; being a college radio DJ in the early 80's; the incredible personal thrill of playing with idols The Ramones, at the big day out in 94, and becoming friends with them. Tracks 1 - 4 are as follows: The Beasts of Bourbon - "Saturated" MC5 - "Rocket Reducer" Richard Hell - "Liars Beware" The Ramones - "Carbona Not Glue" Then the tape cuts out. Hope that's enough!! georgia ------------------------------ From: psyche Subject: ty cobb Since there still seems to be some confusion regarding what the next SG single will be, I will state more clearly what I know of this promo single. 300 Ty Cobb promo singles have been distributed in the UK only. Promo singles are actually only meant for radio stations and the like, but as usual, promo stuff is being sold at extremely high prices at select record stores and mail order companies. Since A&M bothered distributing these singles, I will assume that Ty Cobb will most likely be the next release. Anyway, more on the promo: I'm not sure if the song's edited, 'cos a little sticker on the cover says: Limited Edition, 300 copies only..... "hard headed fuck you all"... so it doesn't sound too censored. If you do want one of these promo singles, you'd better start saving: they're going for around $30 (which is fucking insane, considering it's only one song). I have no idea where you can get them, but I know you'll have a good chance, if you're a mail-order club member of some sort (or if you're a dj). sabrina ------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker Subject: VERY URGENT - your chance to ask SG a question Kerrang is off to Australia to interview Soundgarden and they are offering readers ' a chance of a lifetime to probe Chris Cornell and co'! The catch - you MUST phone in with your question, name and address TODAY Wednesday 29th January. If you want to do it direct, call the code for the UK + 171 312 8943. Now my mind has gone *completely* blank!!! So if anyone wants to email me with an original and/or burning question, I will phone up for you (please tell me your real name and address) - or if lots of you reposnd I'll try and fax the Kerrang office instead. They haven't discovered email yet!

I heard he did his "festering 5"; > his top song being something by thin lizzy. Sorry I didn't get to this earlier, it was before the long weekend and we went up to Noosa to enjoy the beach, surf, sand and the girls.....too bad it rained....oh well still good to go for a swim :) Kim did play his festering 5 on the 3 hours....basically 5 songs that he likes/infulenced him or whatever the hell he feels like playing :) In order played they are: 5)Beasts Of Bourbon 'Saturated' 4)MC5's 'Rocket Reducer' 3)Richard Hell and the Voidods 'Liars Beware' 2)Ramones 'Carbona not Glue' (not sure about the first word :) 1)Thin Lizzy 'The Rocker' And for all those wondering what the next single is, or if it will be Ty Cobb, 3 hours of power ALWAYS play Ty Cobb...ever since the album came out and yes after Kim's little visit..Ty Cobb was played once again...somehow tho I don't see it getting air play anywhere else (other then JJJ) I have the whole thing on tape if anyone is REALLY intersted in what was said...mail me if I get enough requests I'll type it up when I can. Personally I didn't think it was that great..Kim talking about why he picked the songs he did and not much else really. seeya Lee ***** CD of the Week: 'Republica' by Republica "Turn it UP and Play it LOUD let the blood rush to your head!!"

I was sitting in my Fundamentals of Data class, mostly asleep, partially listening to my teacher go on about dot matrix printers, and he mentioned Near Letter quality which I guess is retyping a document, slightly offset, so the letters come out better looking, and he said and I quote, the letters bleed together to make it look better. Ha! I love that song and I was sitting there smiling and singing to myself and freaking out, and me friend Shakalaka was looking at me all funny, but I can't help it, cuz Bleed Together is one of my alltime favorite Soundgarden songs. :> "Give me Liberty or give me head!" - George ------------------------------ From: Nicole Lalanne Subject: Melbourne BDO/Festival Hall Further to Greg's response... - ----------------------------------------- At the BDO in Melbourne, after SG finished their set, a promoter came out and said something like 'I regret to inform you, but SG are unable to do an encore'. When SG came out for their encore at Festival Hall the following night, Chris said 'They wouldn't let us do an encore last night (BDO), but we're going to do one tonight...' - - Nicole ------------------------------ From: tonerkin Subject: Big Shiny Sex I just popped the Outshined single in the CD player and as I walked away from the CD player I found myself doing that little hootchie cootchie dance that we all do when we are alone and I relized what an incredible sexy groove Outshined has in that bump and grind sort of way! Than I remembered a long time ago one of our members(the name will not be revealed to protect the not so innocent) went to a strip club and one of the dancers(?) used Outshined as her music during her interpretive dance if I remember correctly. So I guess Outshined just became my vote for sexist Soundgarden song. toni Thanks Jen for my prize!!! ------------------------------ From: Vince Varkey Subject: New Chris pic.. I went to Seth's site yesterday, and there was a new picture of Chris Cornell on there. It was taken when he was about 17 and it has to be one of the funniest pictures I have ever seen of the guy. Imagine Chris Cornell with his long hair, the body of a teenager, wearing a tattered Nirvana shirt..on a skateboard. Yep, I am *not* kidding. I would love to go up to Chris now, and show him that pic. Check it out. It is from FullForce or something like that. vincent ------------------------------ From: Vince Varkey Subject: in an hour of chaos arises a new thread.. I was thinking of all the cool threads going on as of late, when I suddenly thought of one of my own. What song of Soundgarden's, upon hearing it, made you realize that SG was not just "another" band and that they were something special? Mine would have to be The Day I Tried To Live. I first got into SG by purchasing Superunknown and when I heard TDITTL, I just *clicked* with the music and the guys..and I guess the rest is history. Anyway, what do you all think.. - -vincent ------------------------------ From: AvAndrea@aol.com Subject: Sexiest Songs Hey Folks! I'm been thinking about this sexiest song thing for awhile and I definitely agree with two popular choices: Mailman & Tighter and Tighter. I think the vocal effects on Tighter and Tighter are what really do it for me on that one and Mailman was immediately my favorite song on Superunknown the first time I listened to it. I, like many other ladies on the list, am quite partial to the sarcasm here (is this some kind of indicator of how dysfunctional we are?:>). Someone also mentioned the Fell on Black Days video version. That song used to stop me in my tracks every time I saw the video. I even taped it off of Mtv one night (something I haven't done since I was, oh, about 12). I love the way they slowed it down and Chris' voice sounds SO sultry! Another one I haven't seen mentioned (I apologize if it has been) is Let Me Drown. I'm going to go out on a limb here and call this a *love song*. The chorus reminds me so much of how it feels when you're SO into someone and you just want to be completely submerged in their entire being. And finally...one I haven't seen mentioned yet (unfortunately it's not even a SG song) is the version of Helter Skelter they did on this last tour. It absolutely blew my doors off when I saw them in December! I'm still considering those five minutes a bonafide sexual experience (although that may be personal problem :>). I recently got the video of the Fairfax show and am now able to hear/watch that in the privacy of my own home which, I'd like to point out, my boyfriend should be *very* worried about. It's been great reading everyone's responses to this thread and the scariest/joyful one as well. I couldn't really think of a scary one and they're all joyful to me in their own way. Yesterday or the day before Jamie wrote: I have been reading all the post on the scariest, sexiest, and emotional songs from our beloved SG. Most every post states in one way or other that SG music is mostly dark and brooding. Which I agree with completely. But tell me why is it when you see them in concert your mood is far from dark and brooding. If SG is all dark and moody why the great high when we hear them live. Don't get me wrong I agree that their music is mostly dark and I love them for it. But yet they give us such an emotional high when we are in their presents. In a strange kind of way this is what makes their music joyful to me. It makes my heart glad to hear something I feel expressed in such a creative and honest way even if it's something dark or depressing like death or loneliness. I think a person has to work hard to find genuineness in anything these days and when you find it in music and lyrics like Soundgarden's, the emotional release, whether it's sadness, anger, pain or ecstasy brings you a certain joy in that you are actually *feeling* something. And seeing the people who bring up these emotions in person is definitely a certain kind of high. When I saw them last month, I had been driving for over twenty hours straight, I pulled into my driveway, ran to the bathroom, took a shower and immediately headed out to the show. All I thought about while driving down the entire west coast was if I can stay awake, Soundgarden is the light at the end of my tunnel. I was as tired and beat as I have ever been but when they came on stage some kind of reserve energy came forward and took over. It was very much like an artificial high only about a thousand times better because it was pure emotional release. Very much like sex actually:-) Okay, I've rambled on long enough (I drank too much coffee this morning--sorry!)

I also have a copy of the video to "who do I kill" that came out in an issue of rock video monthly. Is anyone on the list a current or former member of rock video monthly. All of a sudden they just stopped coming in the mail. I would like to get in to some kind of rock video club again if anyone knows of one. ------------------------------ From: BdMtrFngr Subject: Re: New Chris pic..

Well, to tell you the truth I got that particular BUTOW single with the Dusty remix on it by mistake(damn CD Universe....I ORDERED THE OTHER ONE!!!!!!!!....) Oh, anyway I was reluctant to listen to it at first. I figured it was some guy bucharing one of SOUNDGARDEN'S songs by turning it into a rap song. But I listened to it and I was impressed. When the guitar riff came in and then Chris's voice accompanied it chills went up my spine. Even though I wouldn't put it on my top SOUNDGARDEN favorites, I'll give Moby credit.

Anyway on the front it could have a baseball player in one of those old-fashioned uniforms doing a kamikaze-like head first slide into home plate and running over the catcher. Underneath it would just say SOUNDGARDEN and on the back it could say "hard- headed fuck you all". That would be cool. Actually this might be a good idea for a thread.

I liked what you said. Soundgarden really does give us so much with their music even to the idea that it is dark and gloomy. Who better to feel miserable with than SG. Who better to have a good cry with than SG. Who better to feel excited and emotionally charged with than SG. Because they were with you during the hard times you can get emotionally high when you see them perform live.

Aside from the songs that were played out on the radio from SU, the songs that made me think SG were "not your average band" are Like Suicide, Fourth of July, Mailman--basically the really dark songs on the CD, which were most of them-! Even though the SG makes a lot of dark songs, I don't get depressed about 'em. There are other bands who write dark songs that do that, but not SG. I guess you could say it's like good blues music. There's a lot of soul and great guitar--what's to be depressed about? okay, I'm just a ramblin' girl.... Aside from great lyrics and tunes, Chris is a damn good vocalist, and that's rare in this day and age of 3-minute pop stars that only last in MTV's Buzz Bin.
