From: everglade@juno.com (Robyn E Nachtsheim) Just heard the lineup for the WHFStival (Washington, DC) which includes the Prodigy among 19 others. They ususally have surprise guests and un-announced performers, so I am hoping maybe since Prodigy will be there, maybe Matt will be on drums???? I hope! Maybe even a Soundgarden Swan Song? Understand- I have no verifiable basis for this suspicion, as of yet; and I know it's probably unlikely- I just wanted to throw it out to everyone for comment. And maybe- just maybe- they will surprise us. ------------------------------ From: Anders B-N Nergaard Subject: Soundgarden in surround Remember that Seth said you'd notice something new in a SG song if you listened to it on another stereo, headset etc.? Well, I just bought a surroundset... Let me just tell you, you haven't heard Spoonman until you've heard it in surround; Ben's bass coming from behind and Matt's drumming completely surrounding you, WOW! This made me wonder if any SG songs were mixed for surround, does anybody know?

No clue why, but it was 657, to 2157. Thought I would just let you know. Although, I don't know how 2157 people could vote for Gavin --Marie >> Well, thats cuz the more intelligent Chris fans didnt have time to vote cuz they are too busy working for a living and going to college and doing other more important stuff than voting for stupid ~no~ contest contests!!!!

I'm kinda in an emotional rut. I just bombed my Chem. test and when I say bombed I mean BOMBED!!!! So I popped in some SG and it got me on my feet again. A little goes a long way baby!!!! Not to mention I have a picture of Chris hanging in my car!!! It always brings a smile to my face and chills over my body :) !!! Anyway, I've aquired some new posters: one is of the guys standing in front of somewhere that reminds me of Las Vegas because of all the lights and man do the men look fine. I think it's because they inhanced the color or whatever they do but their eyes just seem to stand out at you. Yummy!!! and the other one is of the guys with Hiro and they are all laughing and happy, which made me sad and deppressed. Oh well. The other day I sat down to watch some concerts of SG that someone was so kind to send me and I couldn't becasue it made me sad. See, I'm really emotional and NO!!!, it's not that time of the month or anything!!! I guess it was becasue my Mom's b-day just past and she would have been 47. Time does something to you!!! Oh, I was listening to Toy Box and when Chris says "Buired in dirt her torso lays..." I pictured the ending of BIMH. You know where the girl is just half buried ing the sand. Not that it means anyhting but I just thought it was weird. Does anyone else ever picture parts of other SG videos to songs? Well, thanks for listening to be babble!! Ya'll are the best!! Take care and be sweet!!! Stay Cool, Kelly (c: P.S. Still looking for the Flower video and the meaning of life!!! HAHA!!!

Anyway, sorry but.... whoever posted saying that PJ and Nirvana have programmed rage...are you sure??? I know they have played the Unpluggeds (sic!) of both these bands numerously, and after these they usually have on all the clips by that particular band and I have never seen the aforementioned bands programme. Also to whoever posted about having a SG J-files...they did do it - when SG came out for the BDO :) Anyone who wants a SG special on Rage....write to them saying so!!! Replies I have got in the past attribute a lack of specials to the fact that they are a small team. Maybe all us sommsters could volunteer our services to them ;) Also they have told me that they cannot play MTV unplugged specials anymore b/c of the amount of money it costs to buy them from MTV and ABC cutbacks :( **Please** people...vote for JCP to be played on Recovery for all us Aussies that cannot afford to or do not wish to get MTV!! The URL escapes me, but surely you know it by now!

Like on my headphones on most songs....Kim' s guitar is mostly right side, Ben's bass is like mid left & top, Matt is far left, Chris's vocals are low & mid center and his guitar is like mid right, and then they fill in the holes between with all sorts of extra vocals, guitars, and other sounds.... Its pretty intricate and detailed, and very cool.

Andy "Fill your head with crazy sounds" >> ------------------------------ From: Pkscar@aol.com Subject: Soundgarden ROCKS!!! I'm so happy I get to corrospond to other Soundgarden fans. I have 3 cd's and working on getting the other 3 as well as TOTD. I can't believe they broke up, but I still love their music. ------------------------------ From: Big Daddy Cool Subject: First Post and a request Hi there. I joined this list recently, just after the "event," as they say. I discovered Soundgarden with the release of "Singles," and then shied away from the hype and mania surrounding Superunknown until I heard from enough "real" people (i.e., those who didn't run and buy Hootie and the Blowfish immediately after buying Superunknown) that the record was worth it. Now, that cd, as well as Badmotorfinger and their latest, are staples in my list of music to introduce to others. I lucked into one of the last copies of DOTU in vinyl at my local Tower... the day after they broke up. That day, I went home, popped in "Just Like Suicide," and sat in the dark with a beer. Then, I ran around the room screaming "Ty Cobb," putting the fear of God into my neighbors. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had the boot "Blow up the Outside," which is from the last tour. I would love a copy of it, and have lots of U2, Pearl Jam, and some other stuff to trade. If you have a copy, and would help me out, please E-mail me privately. BDC ------------------------------ From: "B. Kinser" Subject: Re: Soundgarden in surround I love to listen to Badmotorfinger in surround. Switch your reciever to Dolby Surround and then switch off your front speakers and the center channel and just listen through the rear speakers. On Rusty Cage, you will hear Chris scream and the begining of the lyrics and then no singing. It's almost like a a Rusty Cage instrumental. You can't believe the elements of a song that can be picked out by manipulating the levels of your surround processor. You can isolate vocals and instruments thus creating your own little remix.

IF the Sonics make it to the finals......any takers on the same bet as last year???!!??!!!!!!! Maybe Kim should move back home and than he could root for a winning team and buy a nice house right next to Billy. toni (to anyone reading this and thinking...toni talking sports talk ??? Don't worry I haven't lost my mind...I am just stuck at work everyday with a rabid Bulls fan and he is starting to get to me. Funny thing is I haven't converted him to a Soundgarden fan....YET!) ------------------------------ From: "Saskia Becher" Subject: Searching for .......Hype Hey I have two questions....For those of you that have seen the Hype video there is a bit where Chris starts singing Searching with My Good Eye Closed that starts off real slow and goes on from there and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find an audio copy of that version??? and where I can find somewhere on the net (or someone) to order SG bootlegs as I have found one (Stolen Prayers) which is good but I would like to get more....... Sassy ------------------------------ From: MICHAEL APPLE Subject: A Coupla Comments Date sent: 30-APR-1997 18:11:47 That surroundsound thing is pretty cool. I ought to listen to Soundgarden that way sometime. It'll be the closest I'll ever get to being at one of their concerts. :) Try listening to "Lightning Crashes" by Live on Surroundsound. It's really cool. The guitar moves back and forth through the speakers. I listened to it on my big "recording engineer" headphones and I swear the guitar sound tickled me. :) As for that Gavin Rossdale win over Chris in the razor contest, it should be obvious why Gavin won. Little teeny-bopper Gavin Rossdale fans probably voted a whole ton of times in a row for him, by tapping "back" on their browsers, then voting again. Soundgarden fans are too mature to do that. (Okay, well, I admit to voting twenty times for "Room A Thousand Years Wide" on the official site, but I really like that song! :) Later, Michael Apple ************************************************** Pale in the flare light The scared light cracks and disappears And leads the scorched ones here And everywhere, no one cares the fire is spreading And no one wants to speak about it. - "4th Of July", Soundgarden ************************************************** ------------------------------ From: Cornell32@aol.com Subject: Re: Rolling Stone article Very high praise from RS in this article...so why is there not ONE SG album listed in the new RS as one of the 200 most essential albums of all time?

Although, I don't know how 2157 people could vote for Gavin --Marie >> Gavin probably cheated. :) You know how when you listen to certain music, all your problems go away and everything is perfect for awhile? Is it like that for anyone else? Are there any SG songs that touch you so deeply they make you cry? There used to be alot of songs that did that.. even Ty Cobb. Don't ask. I was having problems. :) Guess what I did? After my ceremony, I went to Specs. I walked to the back to see if there was any new SG posters, and what did I see? No posters, but... SG T-shirts, and... a SG hat! Aaw.... The hat was kinda tan, with a red bill and red lettering that says Soundgarden across the front.. kinda ugly, but still. One shirt was white, with Small red letters spelling Soundgarden, and a black and white group pic on the back. Another shirt was black, with a small silhouette of the band in even blacker stitching, and something about the Pretty Noose LP on the back... the one I got was black with the cover of DOTU on the front, and DOWN ON THE UPSIDE on the back. Has anyone else seen these same shirsts before? Oh, who CARES...My very first SG T-shirt. I'm so proud. :) I have never seen anything so beautiful... One thing, though.. they didn't have Ultramega OK or Louder Than Love anymore. They DID have the Fell on Black days single, though, which I want to get... It only has Fell on Black days and the demo version, right? Oh, and, does anyone know where I can find "She's a politician"? I saw this thing at Specs... it was a 2-part CD thing.. it had interviews, posters, and I THINK it might have had She's A Politician on there, and some other songs.. has anyone else seen this? ------------------------------ From: DodeRoad@aol.com Subject: Re: A Coupla Comments In a message dated 97-04-30 23:15:08 EDT, APPL1115@SPLAVA.CC.PLATTSBURGH.EDU writes: << Try listening to "Lightning Crashes" by Live on Surroundsound.

You know how, at the end, when Chris is screaming Black hole sun, black hole sun, in the background? Well, when you listen to it through my headphones, it switches speakers in the middle of those words, so it feels like the words are traveling right through your head. You can really FEEL them going inside...Its not a nice feeling. :) BTW, I just discovered Rhinosaur. :) I just started liking it, I never payed much attention before... hmmm. Does anyone really like the song No Attention on DOTU? I kinda do.. And does anyone have Alive in the Superunknown?
