Hi all, I've seen the score of that contest " what is looking better" : facial hair (Chris Cornell) or clean shaven (gavin rosdale). I KNOW it is a stupid contest which doesn' t make sense, but after seeing that f---ing score (657 for Chris and 2157(!) for Gavin), I feel bad note to have voted... I haven't seen the pictures yet, but I can't understand this score : there's no need to be a girl to see that Chris is gorgeous. Sincerely, Nicolas. PS : does anybody can E-mail me to let me know where I can find the 2 pictures - just to check... ------------------------------ From: alister@aztec.asu.edu (ALISTER WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM) Subject: Do not trade with this person!!! HCUX80C@prodigy.com Attn. Everyone on our list!!!! Do not trade with this person, they totally flaked on a trade with me and have not returned any mail from me. He's one of those guys that says he's going to ship on the same day as you do and then never does, as well as the type that claims they never got your pack. But when you ship them a copy of the groundtrack courtesy of ups that was signed by him, he does not return your e-mails. Nice story isn't it? I'll be sure to post his name address and phone number tomorrow! cheers, alister P.S.

Just finished watching Benny and June. TOTD is heard singing Pushing Forward Back. Does anyone know if TOTD is on the soundtrack? If so, who else is on it? Oh yeah, there was a SG spotlight a month or so ago and they didn't play flower. I've got it taped and it has - Hands All Over, Rusty Cage, Outshined, JCP, BHS (no shit,) My Wave, Pretty Noose and Burden In My Hand. It's a 2 parter and is pretty good. BYE.

I've got Windows 95 and it keeps asking me what program I want to use to open them. No matter which one I pick, it doesn't work. If anyone out there can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks Taylor K. ------------------------------ From: DustyGrrl@aol.com Subject: Re: Jesus Christ Poses I was gonna get off in a compare with this pathetic MM video I saw last night, but changed my mind. Instead I will say thats what Ive always loved so much about SOUNDGARDEN. They have never tried to cram a bunch of garbage down peoples throats. Their stand alone songs, riffs, fluidity, and talent was what they had to offer and was all they needed to offer. >>In a message dated 97-05-02 05:42:41 EDT, you write: >> Subj: Jesus Christ Poses >> Date: 97-05-02 05:42:41 EDT >> From: APPL1115@SPLAVA.CC.PLATTSBURGH.EDU (MICHAEL APPLE) >> To: SOMMS@MIT.EDU >> Date sent: 1-MAY-1997 16:29:03 >> Whoever mentioned that thing about the Bush video with the inverted >> cross in a jar of urine, I agree with you completely.

What do I have to say about that commentary? WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT. Come on now, the site is more than games and finding out what Chris' name is on different records. They say such stuff like 'archived for perusal by the truly bored'. They also have the nerve to rate it lower than the imusic site(at least that's how I saw it) which, in my opinion, has less SG info than seth's site. It just goes to show that the folks at Rolling Stone always do half-ass research. Here's some of what Leslie posted: > Hey y'all.. > I *know* there are some other big Kyuss fans out there besides me, but even > if you aren't, I thought some would enjoy reading these comments from > vocalist John Garcia about SG. > > Which album of theirs do you like the best?

I was in Foundations > Forum, how lame is that -- some schmooze fest for Kyuss, and Badmotorfinger > came on 95.5 KLOS and I was blown away. First off, I almost agree with him. My love for SG began with Badmotorfinger, the start of the 'Ben Years'. I do like Louder Than Love, tho, but as for the first two(including the double EP CD), I'm not a big fan of those. As for 'Badmotorfinger' coming on 95.5 KLOS, that radio station used to play SG, but they've changed formats(again) and now play mostly 80s rock and bands such as Counting Crows. Yuck. Some of you SoCali sommsters may well remember 105.5 KNAC, which was the ONLY station in LA who had the balls to play JCP, as well as other rarely-played SG tunes.

Prodigy Delays Tour, May Get Help From Soundgarden Drummer March 20 [7:55 EST] -- If you were hoping to catch The Prodigy live while "Firestarter" is still fresh in your head, you'll have to wait a bit longer. The band has just pushed back its U.S. tour, originally slated to kick off on April 14 in Chicago, and says it will now wait until at least June before it comes to the States. The band says it want to complete its upcoming Maverick Records debut before touring. When the album, titled "Fat of the Land," hits stores, it may feature the work of Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron. Our colleagues at MTV Europe report that Cameron may turn up in sampled form on the album, noting that Soundgarden and Prodigy headlined a recent Australian tour together, during which the English band apparently formed a sort of Matt Cameron fan club. The Prodigy is not talking about this report. - --------- End forwarded message ---------- ------------------------------ From: MEXUM@email.usps.gov Subject: Susan Silver Anyone have any idea what Susan Silver's middle name is? ------------------------------ From: Andy Subject: AIC Has anyone heard about the upcoming AIC tour?

Kyuss is one of my favourite bands too, they're all breaking up huh? I hope Monster Magnet doesn't come next. Speaking of Kyuss and Soundgarden, they both did a cover of Black Sabbath's "Into the Void". Kyuss' was released after they broke up, on Man's Ruin Records. I posted about this some time ago. Well I didn4t manage to get it so if anyone out there has heard it, PLEASE post a little review or something. How does it compare to Soundgarden's version?

I thought it was so sincere for him to write us, and now I feel sort of better, knowing that there is still a strong or stronger bond between the guys than ever before. And yes, a thanx to Seth for everything, kepping us on top of things, and most of all, bringing us all together. I would have never have met half the people on her if it weren't for you. SUSAN. I admire that woman soooo much. What she does is one of the hardest things in the music buisness, and she does it soo well. I think she's a good example of hard work well done. My vote....Chris. Gavin has an old look to him. Actually, It must have been the whole bush newsgroup who even came up with the idea. anyway. QUESTION> Where can I find hype!? Is it in the stores, like Suncoast?

(not the one with the pull-out yet, though) for $2 cause the guy couldn't find the price to charge me, so he says "i just made it real cheap." = ) AND the guy also has a Matt Cameron signed and used (it's quite busted at the end, the tip is separated from the side by this huge split) drumstick. he's asking $20. am i a total cheeseball if i get it? i dunno, it's really cute "Matt Cameron, Soundgarden- Rock on!" it says. i love my blond matt so much! yr too cute mattster!! And i'm getting a Ty Cobb single next week too. the place is so cool, I've really cleaned them out lately. and they also had the Screaming Life EP on black for like $20, and I got mine for $8, so what a rip- off there. they do overcharge, but the stuff i've bought has been damn worth it. As for seth in a rock book, i can't remember the name now, but there's this way huge book in this bookstore with all this information about each "rock band" in the past forever, and it has a who they were influenced by and who they've influenced section. it says SG was influenced by sabbath and Zep and they influenced Nirvana and PJ. = ) and it also has a "stay away from" thing so the guy can bitch about the albums he hates most. His hated was the combo CD release of SL/Fopp. he just hated it. basically said it was awful. Okay, so then in the index section thing, it had all the bands in the book and websites for them! So i find SG as fast as possible and YES! WE ARE LISTED!! and *above* the official site too. only the two sites were listed, but seth's was up top. made me very very happy. seems like the site has gotten a lot of recognition lately- great job seth. do you like all the attention? = ) later, a happy mind riot ____ i feel the hurt surround me please dissolve me she's resolved to be... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOUNDGARDEN 1984-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 3 Issue 109] ****************************************
