>Has anyone heard of or own any Doughnut albums.

No, but have you heard the song Donuts on the Garden of Souls boot?
Who on the Sub Pop label actually originally sang tha song?  Anyone? I am
just a little curious about it.  Really a very stupid song, but amusing in
the same respect.

Subject: gotta spread the news.....

today, after months of searchin, i finally got my SOMMS cd......I got it in
a mail-order from a Seattle used cd store...... now, i paid 60$ for
it......a lot of you told me that i was gettin screwed big time, cause
soundgarden cds cost a lot more in Seattle...  Y'all were right!!  2 days
after gettin mine, i saw another one in Montreal for 50$ (canadian....about
40$ US)......sigh..........

HERE'S A SUGGESTION:
wouldn't it be cool if there were some kind of page only dedicated to cool
soundgarden moments that we live???  i bet we could fill it up real
quick.......

see ya later....

Subject: Questions and Frustrations...

I was reading something the other day and it was saying how Lollapalooza was
going to be SO different this year.  More alternative and weirder bands than
last years "Mega-Metal" line-up.  Okay, my question is why do they say that
SG is so metal this time around and when they played the '92 Lollapalooza
(which I wasn't able to go to)  :(  they were considered so alternative?  I
was just curious because they played songs from BMF at both '92 and '96.
 Please comment.  Also, they other day my brother was singing along to BIMH
and instead of singing, "Follow me into the desert as desperate as you
are..."  he sang "dust-pretty as you are..."  I thought this was sort of
weird so I kept listening to that part over and over again and it does sort
of sound like it.  I know the word is "desperate" so please no one send me
the lyrics.  <not trying to be rude or anything>  Well, I've babbled
enough!!!  Take care and be sweet!!!

Stay Cool,

Pretty Noose I thought he was saying I got the mood today insted of you

One of my fav SG moments was getting the humongey poster of Chris (from the
SPIN mag shoot). This thing is really big & really cool.  Thanks again u kno
who u r!

Another fav was the FDR tape I got from Benlover. Benlover where the heck are
you anyway???

Then the radion station calling ME and giving ME a free black vinyl DOTU. I
guess after requesting SG everyday, the figured I would really like it.  I
dont know how they got my phone # tho, hmmm.

You knew this would happen, right?

Funny, I seriousy thought that the chorus of Ty Cobb was "I'm here to fuck
you all!"

Always thought that would be a cool song if your gonna go postal & shoot 40
or 50 people at work.

Subject: More mixed up lyrics

ALso during spoonman when Chris is saying come on we like it all, I
think that is what he is really saying, I used to think it was "Come on
while I get on, come on while I get off". Heh. Also during my wave,
where he say's keep it off my wave, it sometimes sounds like he's saying
"keep it off my wife". Then there is the obvious mix up of, "She lived
like her mother" during Like Suicide.

Dave isn't the only person who thought Chris was saying "I got a feeling so
down."  I thought he was saying that too. :)  During Spoonman when he's
saying "come on, like it all", I thought he was saying "come on, knock it
off"!!!

May Soundgarden be with you.

oh my...the first few times i heard that song, i was sure it was "Oh god
I'm being sold out"

i was, just like my lil sis nikki said, too lazy to check the lyrics at
the time and convinced myself those were the words..

Subject: Re: More mixed up lyrics

I used to think when chris sings "and all the little pigs have god" was "have
gone".
and that's the most mild one I have..... the rest are simply ridiculous!!

when chris says "there is a churning storm" I thought he was saying, "there
is a turning stone"

how about when chris sings "she sits on the top of the greenest tree" I
thought he said "she sits on the top of the penis tree"!!!!!!!  ;-)

I'll write more later... but I'll leave you w/ my biggest embarrassment to
date (not w/ lyrics though)....   In BHS, during the ending guitar solo.....
when kim hits a hight note... I used to run, pause my cd player, and go
answer the damn phone.... I'm such a retard!!  =P

Subject: Re: Questions and Frustrations...

            Lollapalooza '96 was considered a metalfest, I think, because it
was such a "male dominated" event . Bands on the bill were comprised
primarily male members -- and they expected the attendees to be male by a
large majority (but that was not the case at all).  Metallica was also a big
reason for the metal label -- I mean they were the main headliners.
 Soundgarden has always been on both sides of the metal/hardrock fence.
 Remember -- they've toured with pretty heavy bands before ( Guns n' Roses,
Faith No More, Skid Row, Metallica, Corrosion of Conformity, etc.).  It's
understandable for that label to be stamped on Sg, especially by those who
have not experience their full and diverse musical range.

For the Canadians... At first I thought it was "Degrassi's always

A friend of mine thought CC was singing "Thanx for the show" instead of
"Face Pollution".
