From: "Shawn David Kennedy" Well, I figured I better get in on at least a couple of these threads that have been going around on the list. For the "Song that did it for me" thread, I would have to say it was "Rusty Cage" that really got me hooked. The first Soundgarden song I ever heard was "Hands All Over", and I thought that it was really cool, but it wasn't until "Rusty Cage" that I really REALLY got into them. And on the "Sexiest Song" thread, I would have to agree with Lance and say "All Night Thing". That is just a really smooth song. But for just a hardcore SEXiest song, I would have to say "Big Dumb Sex". Even though the song is a parody of a sex song, it still has just a raw, primal quality to it that makes you feel DIRTY. (and that is a good thing!) Well, I just thought I would throw my ideas at 'cha. ------------------------------ From: Tiffany Saint Subject: Margaret's Eyes and Julian's Knees Margaret: I don't see how anyone could think Chris Cornell is ugly! Especially after hearing the beauty and power of Soundgarden's music. I mean, don't you think that spiritual beauty is part of what makes him so attractive? I do. Maybe for some people it's all physical, but for me it's all tied together. Today I was listening to BMF at work, and I was so struck by some of the lyrics that I had to take a break and just live the music or something. This is even though I have heard the same lyrics hundreds of times. "I don't remember half the time if I'm hiding or I'm lost But I'm on my way" *And to Julian: Generally, a sender of spam is in need of some serious damage. I hope I don't have to go over there and break some kneecaps over this. Just a friendly reminder: this is a mailing list, not a garbage can.

It's gonna kick ass when SG come around for their '97 tour which i hope they actually do. The Nov. 9th show they did here was awesome. I just wish I could've met the band like the rest of you that went. Also, for Bleed Together, i was playing in standard tuning, not the other one whoever replied to me mentioned. By the way, is anyone else going to the Metallica concert tomorrow night? Ahhhhh! One more day!

For me, I don't have to be in any particular mood to listen to SG, the music itself puts me in those moods. It's so powerful that if I listen to 4th of July on a sunny day when I'm feeling happy it has the power to make me feel depressed and sleepy and calm. All of Sg's music does that for me. *To all of the people that replied about the interview - it's coming, I promise! Be patient! And a question - today I found a BUTOW single on green coloured vinyl, and I was wondering just how many of these are actually out there. There were a couple more in the shop, so if anyone is DESPERATE for one it *MAY* be possible. :) Tessa. ------------------------------ From: JAMES COLES <808state@pixi.com> Subject: Meeting in Hawaii Hi! I'm new to this,I don't even have my own E-mail address yet, so I'm using my husbands. Anyway, Soundgarden is here in Hawaii for 2 shows (which I am both going to) I'm going to meet up with Vikki & Eileen in Maui on saturday.This is my first soundgarden concert,I had tickets to the Seattle shows that were postponed, and returned home bummed , so this is very exciting for me!! Let you know how things go. :] Aloha. MURK (I can't wait any longer!!!!)

I haven't posted in months - just sitting back and reading. I don't know if I'm late on this thread or what, but it is SG related (unlike, unfortunately, some of the latest posts). Here goes: Songs I skip over: "No Attention" and "FOBD (demo version)". When I first heard "No Attention" on Self Pollution Radio, I didn't really like it. When I heard it on DOTU, I REALLY didn't like it. It seems inferior, (at least musically), to SG's other songs, because of the groove factor. Most of SG's groove-oriented songs are either crunchy and/or choppy, or else revolve around a rubbery bass line that dips and swoops. A prime example, I think, of a good groove based song is "Girl U Want". That song's backbeat just piledrives me into the ground. "No Attention", on the other hand, just seems to miss the groove. I dunno...I just get the slight auditory feeling of dislocation or something. The demo version of "FOBD", while certainly interesting, doesn't really match the stripped away version on Superunknown. It seems clumsy and weighted down. On the other hand, I couldn't believe that people were dissing on "Kickstand", "Half", and "BUTOW". "Kickstand", while certainly not outstanding track of the year, is a nice, short, manic burst of energy. It even brings me back to the BMF days, sometimes. I remember someone, during this past summer, dissing on "Half" and how it sounded all "weird and Indian-like". That's the reason I do like it. I think it's great that Chris is cool (and secure) enough to let someone else write/sing songs on the albums. Some people just don't like diversity, I guess. Being a big Beatles fan (as I'm sure the guys in SG are), I was ecstatic that Chris employed the wavery vocals on "BUTOW". It totally reminded me of Lennon's vocals on the Beatles' later albums. Every time that track comes on, I feel like Chris is singing to me underwater, or through some thick fog. It's an incredible experience. So, having admitted my profound love of the song, I have 1 thing to say to fans who don't like it: Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?! What gives?! It's a great song! Ahh...to each his own... I think it's great that SG is able to conjure up such diverse elements/moods on their songs/albums. BMF, for instance, has the aforementioned manic energy that seeps throughout the album. The music blazes along, propelled by the spear-like thrusting of Chris' higher registers. SU, on the other hand, is dark, brooding, and rhythmic. Ben, Chris, and Kim's massive riffs anchore the groove, while Matt's wild caveman swinging (and careful knocking about) hammers the whole thing home. And on DOTU, the whole ambient/atmospheric vibe is totally awesome. Listening to the latter part of the album while just lying on your bed half asleep is an unparalled experience. Whenever I do that I feel like a feather, just curling and floating among the musical ebbs and flows of SG's incredible music. OK, I need to get off the drugs... Thanks for listening to me ramble, but SG is SO AWESOME, and they're 1 of the few bands that have actually improved over the years/albums, and ya know... See ya, Dun-Wei ------------------------------ From: "Steven Russell Jr." Subject: Soundgarden takes the summer off :-( :-( :-( Hey List!

I listen to SG mostly always. My mood only dictates which CD I am going to listen to. When I am a little down or just feel like kicking back and relaxing I will usually put on SU, Alive in the SU, or DOTU. When I'm pissed off or doing something like cleaning the house or just want something with a bit more energy to it BMF, LTL, OLTOK. Why would you have to listen to another band when this one provides it all. I to find myself in a rut with music. I have to force myself to listen to something else. Usually it is Alice in Chains' Sap which just so happens to have Chris' vocals to one of the songs. But a slight different type of music. Songs that make me HAPPY? Probley Birth Ritual, All Your Lies, Power Trip, all of BMF, Like Suicide, TDITTL, FOBD, My Wave, MM, Limo Wreck, Tighter and Tighter, and Seasons. Why do all these songs make me happy even though half of them are depressing as hell? Because there my favorite SG songs and depressing or not when I hear outside of my home as well as inside I get really happy and excited. Funny SG songs. I don't find the songs themselves that funny usually-with a couple of exceptions. The stories behind or that go along with a particular song can be funny at times. Or the song will make you think of something the band members said or did. I always think about this article I read about Chris getting in a fight with his European beer because he couldn't open it. It was a very funny article. After cussing and fussing at it for a couple of minutes he ended up stabbing it with his knife and it spilt all over him. The tour manager that was in the room at the time said (this is not verbatim) "Good job now it is all over your pants." And like the true smart ass we have all grown to love and admire replys.."Atleast now it is doing something besides sitting in the God Damn can." I thought it was funny. I gotta go and see if there is anything new on Seths web page. And I'm lost behind, words I'll never find.-CC "Seasons" Lisa Beckwith ------------------------------ From: Rita Bonofiglio Subject: the mood question: what mood do you have to be to listen to soundgarden... well lets see, considering i am a mood-less blob most of the time, the question should be, what mood does soundgarden put ME IN...simply, they make me happy, i find thier music to be the best therapy on earth...dr.cornell, dr. cameron, dr. thayil and dr. shepherd always seem to be able to ease my psychopathic tendencies...you know when i feel like "blowing up the outside world", i just pop in the cd and i am immediately at ease, calmed, relaxed...hearing dr. cornell express my mad thoughts in such a wonderful way always takes me far away from yucky reality. now that you all think i'm nuts...the following songs always gurantee a smile on my face...full on kevin's mom, no attention, head down, big dumb sex (funny funny funny!!) beyond the wheel (good screaming, releases frustrations) and well every other song they sing... thanks for listening to otherwise useless information about my life... - -----rita b. ------------------------------ From: "Jason Thompson" Subject: Re: Rockabilia ; Re: Be nice to Kickstand >OK, I'm letting out my secret.

They don't actually have the stuff in their catalog, except for the shirts I'm told. They have to order the rest of it. If you order from these guys, basically you'll wait about 6-8 weeks to get a yellow slip of paper that tells you they couldn't get what you wanted. I don't think they refund money either. I ordered about 6 SG things from them, and all I got was a BMF keychain, and a yellow slip for the rest. Just wanted to save you all some time. A good alternative would be Goldmine, Caryn mentioned it before. Seth wrote: >I am really surprised at how many people disliked Kickstand so much. I >always thought it was a highlight on SU. I know we all get our opinions, so >I am just posting on behalf of this quick little gem. I agree that Kickstand's a rockin song. I don't know what Chris wrote it about, but to me it's simply getting pissed off about getting stood up on a date. For me it's one bitch in particular, who stood me up twice, then asked me out again and stood me up again!! (Pretty Noose??) The lyrics with relevance to me are: Kickstand, you got loose and I threw up..( this one's kind of sexual, so I won't elaborate) So do it right do it right come stand me up (obvious) come stand me up ...I got the urge to ride your trike (another sexual undertone) It's a great stress reliever for me, anybody else who has been stood up recently should try listening to it with this in mind.

No, really congratulations Seth. You've done so much with that site, I find a dozen new things on it every time I go. Great job! And thanks for supplying a mailing list so all SG fans can talk to each other every day and find out important and new info. Hey, that's what we're supposed to talk about on SOMMS? Seriously, guys, when I joined SOMMS I was so excited my hands shook on the mouse as I checked the mail everyday. This was the coolest things I had ever seen! And it still is, I look forward to it every day. But there is one thing that saddens me. As a newbie, I have not felt hurt, insulted, or left out. I have never been flamed. And I thought I wrote my thoughts down in posts. And I'm sure that I've probably asked a million ridiculous questions not thinking about it. But, no one's let me have it. I don't think that we're all as bad as we think. I like everyone on here, EVERYONE. Let's just take advantage, as I've said before, of our common bond, SG, and forget our differences. This may sound like a cheesy 'love everybody' message, and it kind of is, but people, let's at least try to get along. I'm sure that at least everyone on here has something important or special or unique to say about the band. And just like it's been said a million times before, if you don't like it, IGNORE IT. I've only been here a couple of weeks, but I know not to take anything insulting to heart. And I know by writing this, I'm not ignoring it, but we need some help, before Seth shuts us down, starts unsubbing people, etc. I just hope that we can put things like this in the past and begin talking about the greatest band in the whole world. Phew, now that that's off my chest, I feel better. Actually, I feel Soundgardelicious!!! You didn't know that was a word, did you? In regards to songs I skip, I'd have to say none, except for occasionally I will skip songs I hear on the radio often, for example- BHS, FOBD, etc. Songs on BMF, UMOK, LTL, etc. I never skip, b/c I only hear them when I play them myself. And, here's a most peculiar SG dream for you. I'll try to make it as short as I can. I am in a local music store, and as usual looking for a SG that I don't have. I happen to mutter out loud my frustration when the body next to me comments, recognizing the voice I look over to see Ben!! I course, as this is a dream, I don't gush and sputter and become tongue tied like I really would, but strike up an interesting and intriguing conversation on how far he can spit. He then asks me to join him for lunch at the local Friendly's so he can have mozzarella sticks. He says he likes to spit the cheese out at the waitresses. So we go, and the waitress comes over. She has a goatee! Wait, it's Chris with his hair in a bun, and a pink apron. He asks to take our order and suggest we have the New England clam chowder, the red kind. I pass, and Ben whines until Chris writes down mozzarella sticks. Chris leaves, and I tell Ben I want to put money in the juke box, so I go and look for it, but I can't find it. When I come back, it's no longer Ben, but Kim smoking three ciggarettes and has a keg of beer on the table. When I sit down, he asks me if I like "Prison Sex" (by Tool). I answer, "Of course" and I ask him if he likes Marilyn Manson. He says he thinks he masturbates too much. Chris comes over with our food. Both are soup, which Chris says is the new house specialty, Nazi soup. We get up and leave, and Kim takes me to his car. His car happened to be one of those big foot truck things. Kim gets in and starts the car, but I'm still trying to climb up the wheel to get in. He backs up and I get squashed. He leaves, oblivious to what happened. The ambulances come, and out comes Matt in full paramedic gear. Except it was designer paramedic gear: Calvin Klein. But, when he comes over he asks me to sign his pants. I ask why, and he says so he can remember this moment forever. So I sign his pants and he starts humming "Hello, Dolly". Then, he moves to signal to the ambulence to come over and get me, but we don't find it anymore and he looks at me and keeps humming, as it fades away, or whatever dreams do. That was one of the silliest dreams I've ever had. I don't know how my mind ever came up with that anyway. That's it for now. Smile everyone, it really is possible.

Try Soundgarden! Hey... The other day Rebekah said something about how listening to SG gave her more energy. The same thing happens to me when I hear SG, Hole & a few other bands - listening to them gets my adrenaline going. I think it's a combination of the powerful music and the fact that I feel a personal connection to their lyrics. In a way this ties in w/ the "what mood are you in..." thread. Well, I don't have to be in any particular mood when I listen to SG, but there are certain songs I'll tend to play over and over again when I'm in certain moods. It's funny - if I'm really pissed, or I'm really happy, I'll listen to "Ty Cobb." When I'm feeling particularly indignant I'll tend towards "Mail Man," TDITTL, "Limo Wreck," or "Rusty Cage," sometimes "Drawing Flies." If I'm in a more somber, melancholy mood, it's usually FOBD, "Zero Chance." Sometimes if I'm angry w/ myself, it's "Outshined," but I also listen to that one when I'm happy, mainly because of the music. To me, most SG songs can reflect many different moods, depending on how you interpret them. One more thing... about what Deb said the other day - I completely agree, and couldn't have said it better myself. :) And BTW... CONGRATS, SETH!!! ~Lorraine "You can try to suck me dry but there's nothing left to suck Just you try to hold me down come on, try to shut me up" ~Courtney Love ------------------------------ From: taylor@stratos.net (Taylor) Subject: Threads.... Deb wrote: >Alot of people say they listen to Sg every day. I used to. In fact, >I'm the sort who gets into a musical rut--is anyone else like that? You too? I had to put BMF away for awhile, I had listened to it so much and just got so sick of it. And I love BMF! So I started to listen to some different bands, to mix things up. As far as songs and moods go, I sometimes use SG as a mood enhancer, but I find myself using some of the songs as mood combatters! When I'm down, Like Suicide, Let Me Drown, and Mind Riot are really good for helping me feel better by letting me wallow in it for awhile. And when I'm having a good day, almost any of the songs complement that. 4th of July puts me in a good mood (bizarre, but it does). I love the Light a Roman Candle part, what a rush.

Oh, and here's a scary story... I got back from my computer-destroying weekend in San Antonio, opened the door to my room, and almost stepped RIGHT ON TOP of my "Screaming Life" album on *ORANGE* vinyl. I guess my parents had decided to put some "more important" stuff in their safety deposit box, so they pulled out MY precious vinyl, and SLID IT under my door for me. AAAUUUUGGGHHH!!!! I don't think I need to mention that there were only *600* copies of "Screaming Life" released on orange vinyl, do I?? Needless to say, I had a screaming fit when I saw how close I come to destroying it... and then I crawled onto my bed, cradled it in my hands... and literally CRIED with relief for awhile. Now wasn't that just a lovely lovely story? Hey, have I mentioned Chris' sexy body in awhile? Goodness fucking gracious, but that Chris Cornell is mighty scrumptious looking. Again, if anyone has any naked pictures they'd like to share... please remember that my e-mail address is Shroomgrlz@aol.com and I'm always happy to receive nude pictures of Chris Cornell. *hinthinthintbigfuckinghint* =) (and big hugs to all my friends I've been missing like crazy) Shroomy "Shroom, since Chris and I feel that your being deprived of internet access for over a week was just plain WRONG... we want you to have these naked pictures of Chris. This one of him in liquid latex is a favorite of mine. Oh, and don't tell him... but right after he left on the last part of their tour, I happened to find some pictures of him and Matt in some rather... compromising... and luscious... positions. I guess he thought he could actually HIDE something like that from me, but don't worry... I made sure that you got copies of all of them, too." ~ Susan Silver (Words not actually said in that order, but damn wouldn't it be nice?) *The Official SOMMS Hootchie Disclaimer* Photos of Chris given to me by Silver Mgmt: - - Chris asleep, nude (of course), with his teddy bear "Bobby Brady." (Don't ask.) - - Chris in the shower, and doing his Madonna impersonation. - - Chris (wearing sexy women's lingerie) licking a picture of Dave Navarro (who also happens to be wearing sexy women's lingerie.) - - Chris, sporting the latest in bondage gear, and doing his Danzig impersonation. (If you've ever seen the end of the second video for "Mother," you'll know what I'm talking about. ;-) - - Chris in the pink leotard and tutu that was a present from Mattster last Christmas, and doing his MC Hammer impersonation. - - Chris eating an ice cream cone. (Hey, the guy doesn't have to be naked for the picture to have pornographic qualities, right?!?) ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: #somms hottub open. now. (shroom, GET OFF THE GODDAMN PHONE!) sg content how many members of soundgarden does it take to change a lightbulb? discuss. - --caryn ------------------------------ From: Aferdity@aol.com Subject: Come Together Over Me....NO THANK YOU!!! Well, I was sitting here catching up on all the digests that I haven't read and one that caught my attention was how Toni didn't like Come Together because of the way the guitar made her skin crawl. Well, personally, I liked the song before that one awful day......I was coming into the living room the and I heard the familiar melody of Come Together and I was Like, "Hey, I know that song." Well, when I got in front of the TV, it turned out that none other than Mr. No-Nose,Can't-Pick-Which-Color-My-Skin-Should-Be, Hope-My-Hair-Doesn't-Catch-Fire-Again Jackson singing it. AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!! Now, if you think it is annoying when Soundgarden sings/plays it, you should hear MJ croak that song out. I didn't stick on that channel for very long because it may have drove me to suicide!!! Consider yourself lucky Toni that you never had to experience this because now everytime I hear that song, whether it be Soundgarden's cover or the Beatles, I have this really yucky image in my head of MJ doing his little dance step, you know the one: turn and kick and walk 2-3-4 and grab my crotch :(~ Well, I'll stop now because I'm making myself sick to my tummy!!! Just thought I would throw my two cents worth in. Take care and be sweet!!! Stay Cool, Kelly :) ~*~*~Song Of The Day~*~*~ *Nothing To Say* The Reason: "Nuf said!!!! ------------------------------ From: Mickster99@aol.com Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Friday, 7 Feb 1997 can you give me some new tour dates? ------------------------------ From: Greg Dunbar Subject: Re: moods >Do you need to be in just the >right sort of mood to listen to Sg and if so, what sort of mood is it? What >makes you think "I gotta listen to Sg today?" Haha! Soundgarden, the band for every mood! I listen to Soundgarden lots, and I get in all different moods all the time, and the songs always seem to 'work' on me. There's some bands that I just have to be in exactly the right mood to listen to : ie. Primus, Paradise Lost. However with Soundgarden I can just chuck in any album and it makes me feel....well good I suppose, it does to me what I expect from music. I think that Chris said something along the lines that Down On The Upside has almost every emotion in there (or something). I couldn't agree more! What other band could follow 'Zero Chance' up with 'Dusty'!? Definitely no concept albums for the Soundgarden boys! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------- "My mind is open to new ideas.
