My oh my... I take off for a couple weeks, and all kinds of crazy stuff happens, hmmm? ;-) Ben is having fits on stage and Chris gets a tattoo. How interesting. Is it Armageddon? What the hell is going on?!? (As I type this, PJ comes on the radio... and as usual, I immediately see Mike McCready naked in my mind. Thanks alot Caryn and Chris, love y'all. But why couldn't it be Stoney?!? ;-) About Chris' tattoo... why that man would choose to ink his perfect body after 32 years is beyond me. It's an awfully romantic idea, though. I can't help but wonder if Susan got a tattoo, also. I've heard it's the latest rage. ;-) I'm such a snot sometimes. IBfuckingM sucks because they hire idiot repair technicians. I got my computer back yesterday, and it now has power... but only 4 megs of RAM. How in the hell am I supposed to run ANY programs off of 4 megs of RAM? I was already struggling with 8!! IBfuckingM sucks, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. The person who sucks the most is Jonathan Simpson... he's the tech who is responsible for me having to send my computer BACK to IBfuckingM to get back my other 4 megs... may he unknowingly end up dating Lorena Bobbitt's sister. Question: How many SOMMSters does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer: All of them. 1 SOMMSter to post the idea about everyone voting on what color the new bulb should be, 600 SOMMSters to argue for two months about what color they want, 1 SOMMSter to post the price of the new bulb, 350 SOMMSters to actually send in their money to finance the replacement, and 1 SOMMSter to run off with all the money for the new bulb. ;-) (Hi Nothingman, you poop.) I hate being away from all the fun. If anything really interesting happens, someone please please let me know. I feel so far removed from everything... it's driving me crazier. Blah. Life is harsh, Chris has a tattoo, and Kim is still going bald. (Hi Velvet! Send me that picture of Chris and Dave in the hot tub together already!! I'm dying for it!! ;-) Luvs to all my friends... Shroomy "Everyone thinks that this tattoo I got stands for Susan's birth sign, but it actually means 'I worship Shroom Girl' in ancient Arabic. Shhh... don't tell anyone, because otherwise Susan would find out, get mad and then ground me. I hate being restricted from doing fun rockstar things like playing the guitar and getting harassed in public places. And when my friends come to the door to pick me up to go snowboarding or something, Susan tells them "No, Chris can't come out and play because he's been a bad rockstar, so he's grounded for a month." I love you Shroomy, but I really hate not being able to hang out with Eddie. He gives the BEST hickies. But the tattoo is all you, babe." ~ Chris Cornell (Words not actually said in that order, but damn wouldn't it be nice?) *The Official SOMMS Hootchie Disclaimer* :)= <~~~ The Official SOMMS Hootchie rendering of Eddie Vedder... :)~~(: <~~~ The Official SOMMS Hootchie rendering of the Official SOMMS hootchie and a certain inked rockstar... ------------------------------ From: Ross Filipek Subject: Re: I need you building bridges in my way...(ha! get that one, perlman!)

Not only that, but he shares the first name of my favorite pissed-off-at-the-world bassist. Mr. Ben (jammin) Timberlake, step up and claim your SAP. I must note that Ben was the first runner-up, the actual winner (first name chosen) was not officially entered. It is a long story...and details will not be forthcoming. Eric ------------------------------ From: Eric Gardner Subject: #24 Let's steamroll right into #24, a Who Do I KIll? promo cd single from Hater. This could be the next freebie for the many Matt Cameron (MC Drummer) fans, even though it also has BS (BS = Ben - I hate your stinky guts, fuck me?...no, fuck you...FUCK YOU - Shepherd).

The track list is: 1.Fell on Black Days 2.Kyle Petty, Son Of Richard 3.Fell on Black Days (Demo) 4.Motorcycle Loop (Short Version) 5.Fell on Black Days (Live) I ordered it once but it was out of stock. That sucked. Information obtained at Steven Russell Jr.'s SOUNDGARDEN Discography: www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~swr/sg1.html I'm given blood tonight, I dont care how I dont care why. I'm given blood tonight, I feel just like I could give it all. ----Bleed Together---- Sean ------------------------------ From: Rebekah Henderson Subject: Seth's page. I have been unable to get into Seth's SG page. It says the server is down. It's been saying that for days! I can't see the Chicago pics. :( Is anybody else having this problem?? May Soundgarden be with you. Rebekah ------------------------------ From: Rebekah Henderson Subject: Picture discs? I know everyone will be shocked by the question I'm about to ask and I'll be sent into exile by all of you guys, but what is a picture disc?? I'll start packing my bags. May Soundgarden be with you. Rebekah ------------------------------ From: "mcinturff, dylan" Subject: Matt's kick pedal According to DW product literature, Matt actually uses an accelerator nylon strap pedal. Maybe this has changed, but actually a lot of people don't like chain drive pedals... including me.

(cd+shipping to Peru). please email me if you can help. thank you. by the way, i had very little hope in a surprise soundgarden show in L.A. after the Hawaii ones (one can dream) but now all hopes are lost, they're not doing any more shows now that i'll be up there and they won't tour South America (now that's a surprise). so i guess i'll have to wait another year to have a chance to see them. enrique ------------------------------ From: endless_nameless@prodigy.com (GRRL NIKI FREER) Subject: in disguise as no one knows... hey sommsters- quick attempt at a small thread start... for those of you who can still listen to BHS, which version do you like better; the original long CD version, or the new solo version cc did during the past tour? personally, i totally favor the CC solo. even though we all know he would have chose to not sing that song one more time if he really wanted to, this version instills such a deep feeling inside me. it seems so passionately hurt and sad and filled with deep sincerity of feeling... i dunno, the way the words were slowed down and the notes he hit were lower nearly the whole time, and then how right near the end of the 2nd chorus he hit the higher, louder notes... to me, its one of the most amazing versions of a song i've ever heard. i hope someone else cares to comment on this, or i'll be just talking to myself... mind riot ------------------------------ From: KENNY BECKWITH <"beckwith@gte.net"@gte.net> Subject: nothing particular Just got back from the music store and I am know the proud owner of a SG poster that has all the band members on it(my first SG poster I might add) and also Screaming Life/ Fopp CD. With SL/F I have completed my collection of SG main stream CDS,(APPLAUSED NOW) but now I have to continue with the other things. I also bought the newest issue of GoldMine and unlike who posted earlier about not finding anything I found a couple of posters and some other imports. All I need is money and then I could actually afford the things in the magazine. Only two more months and I can get a job. About SG taking the summer off. I think they deserve a rest. If not and they were still touring they would be tired and pissed off and nobody wants that. The more time they have to themselves the more they will stick around making the music we can't function properly without. If anyone is looking for the BadMotorFinger/SOMMS set I know where you can find it but the only catch is you have to bid for it. I think the minimum bid is something like 14.99. The bid has to be in before the 27 of Feb. E-mail and I will tell you where it is. Do you perfer the old SG or the new SG? The early wailing of Chris or the more low key croonings of now? Or does it just depend on your particular mood? For me it is the whole mood I am in. Anthing that is work or requires energy to do the earlier SG.SL/F-BMF. Sitting around or thinking the newer stuff. SU-DOTU. But if I had to pick I would choose the younger SG. Know that I have put everyone to sleep with my ramblings I will go. Lisa B They saw you today as you were leaving.

No analog dubs/trades. Your list gets mine. tx Will willr@star.net ------------------------------ From: SJordet@aol.com Subject: lots of stuff Okies, I've got a question and a few other things to say that I find interesting but really will not go anywhere conversation-wise. Question first: I just - I don't know, "enrolled" (so I'm not exactly eloquent today) - in the BMG (Big Money Gamble) music club about six months ago. Geeze, these guys take forever in their delivery - but that's beside the point. I was looking through the little booklet thingie that shows which albums they have, and Soundgarden was NOWHERE to be found. Now, I know for sure that they have been carried by BMG (Buy More Garbage) before, because I was looking through the discs at Cheapo a month or so ago and one of their Badmotos said "Mfd. for BMG Direct Marketing, Inc." I also saw all of their albums produced on A&M for, um, solicitation in one of their ads a couple years ago. Are Soundgarden still with these guys and they just aren't being sold, or did SG dump these guys, or vice versa, or what? It's not really something to worry about, but that little gerbil inside of my head is doing overtime to try and keep up with my rabid obsessions over tiny things. The conversation going around about Chris and sex with him...I think most of you are right. Not very many of us would actually have a night alone with him, because, even though a lot of us who think about that don't even know him, we still care for him and want his respect more than his libido. I also think that part of what makes him so goddamn attractive and appealing is beacuse he's married. Not because if any of us did have a fling with him it would be decietful and more exciting, but because we know he cares about things in an emotional way and is mature and caring enough to devote his life to those things. At least that's how I feel. It's kind of funny and strange when you're going along and reading all of these SG realated messages, when all of the sudden you go to the next message, hoping to read something about a fight Ben got into or a new single or EP Soundgarden are putting out, when you realize the post you're reading isn't actually a post and has nothing to do with Soundgarden. When you reach the words "..a new jock-itch formula that works on contact to soothe and cool..." you silently curse the world of advertisement for interrupting your train of thought. =) I was listening to 4th of July the other day, laying on my bed with me feet up and my eyes closed, and realized - this is an amazing song. There are no words you can use to describe the feeling this song gives you - it's almost like an orgasm. =) Absolutely gorgeous this song is, a masterpiece in it's class - and all others. One last thing. I know that we've just kind of gotten over the whole Kickstand conversation, but I'm resurrecting it briefely (don't hate me). I've always looked at Superunknown as a kind of trip I take. It gives me the simulation I'm swimming under dark water, but it's only water in a dream. Kickstand, although I have never eally cared a whole lot for the song, gives me the feeling that my upper body has come out of the black liquid briefly, only to be sucked under again by the strong undertow of Fresh Tendrils. Therefore, I find it necessary, as a kind of ritual, to listen to the song along with the rest of the album so as I don't drown in the emotion of the rest of the other songs. Well, I'll shut up now, Benlover ------------------------------ From: Ross Filipek Subject: Re: Matt's kick pedal Hmmmmm. I've never seen that before. I've found that DW product literature isn't terribly accurate when it comes to *any* of their endorsers, though. For example, when Matt still used DW shells, DW ran an advertisement in Modern Drummer which diagramed "his" kit. Almost all of the shell sizes (and colors) were wrong. But then again I haven't paid much attention recently. I know he used to use the Turbo chain drive, but I'm sure he owns a bunch of every model of pedals that DW makes. Hell, I would too if I got them free. But you're right; the nylon strap pedals feel great.

Almost all of the shell sizes (and colors) were wrong. >> That's probably because they were diagramming ONE of his many kits. Most pro drummers with major endorsements usually go all out---and remember, Matt's got studio work, live dates and all sorts of side projects (the jazz side-projects in particular) to deal with. I heard hes got a way with power toms(*winking* at Shroom ;-) ---Al ------------------------------ From: "merlin.dwc@internetmci.com" Subject: cancelled tour blues :( I think the question was: If you had a choice between SG never doing another album & never touring, what would it be? That's easy. Seeing Soundgarden live is an experience like none other. The feeling you get from it is incomparable. Some of the best days of my life were the days I went to their shows. The day I heard there wouldn't be another tour I felt so dejected, and I was pretty mad too. I don't get it. What about what that Chicago station was doing? Giving away free tickets & stuff? Isn't that sorta like false advertising? I don't know... maybe it's not true. What does everybody else think? Is there still some forlorn hope of a tour? I just saw them back in november, but it's never enough, you know? ~Lorraine "Nothing seems to break me no matter how far I fall nothing can break me at all..." ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 3 Issue 40] ***************************************
