There are a lot of lyrics printed on various pages all over the place that are not correct. In the case of Show Me, I don't believe the lyrics were ever given out by the band, so what is printed is someone else's interpretation, and not necessarily correct. Ever notice all the weird changes She Likes Surprises went through on Seth's page, or HIV Baby? Jen Grover-- you know you're obsessed with SG when you have a dozen different SG t-shirts in your closet and more on order. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 16:43:33 +0000 From: Fiona Thiessen Subject: you know your obsessed when.. ok my uni doesn't have a good enough browser to see shrooms site so sorry if these are on it.. btw thanks nikki, I have been taking myself and life a little to seriously lately :) ... you look up the steet directory for streets named after SG members, the streets Sound or Garden and check out their stealability status. ... upon finding no Sound or Garden streets able to be stolen you consider getting a Soundgarden street sign made (I've checked it out, I can get one made :> ) ... someone who considers you stimulating and intelligent conversation explains to you which are the ivy league schools in the US and you say to him "I want to go to cornell uni just b/c I like the name" :) ... your spell-check corrects names like Thayil, Cornell and Soundgarden for you. sorry I deleted my digest...

Can anyone find Stolen Prayers or Supermainstream on CD and forward it to me (at a cost of course). It's shitting me hearing about these unreleased songs and not getting to hear them. And you can trust me about paying you and all that, I've dealt with people on the list b4 and never let them down so don't be shy. If I screwed people I'd be dealt with cause I know too many people on this list. Oh yeah, If you've got a good quality copy on tape even that would be cool, especially if you're in Australia to cut down on postage cost and that. Well, hope that someone can help me...cya! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Come on you wimp, paddle on to "THE SEAS OF CHEEZCAKE" http://www.cbl.com.au/~greg - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 17:53:11 +1000 From: spoonman Subject: SG boots Hi, I would like to trade Soundgarden bootlegs.

Hell, what does a person need two kidneys for? I could live without one.... I'd probably have to give it to Matt first, though.

Someone say something, anything, damn the list is quiet. Maybe Seth took everyone on vacation with him? The other day I had to get a tooth filled. OUCH, I know. Anyway, my dentist is one of the coolest people I know of. He lets me listen to whatever music I want to when I'm "in the chair." Naturally I pulled one of my SG discs - Superunknown,& he puts it in for me, gives me the Happy Gas and leaves me alone for about 20 minutes "to relax" When he comes in and starts working on me I was so engrossed in the music that I barely noticed him... until I hear him softly singing "I know I'm headed for the bottom, but I'm drilling teeth all the way" This got my attention and I said "duh thu lithn to thoungarthen", the gas has a funny affect ya know. He acted like he didn't know what I was talking about (maybe he didn't) He kept on working & I kept on listening. All of a sudden he was done, the gas was off, & reality swirled back around me. I said "You can't be done, the disc isn't over yet. Superunknown was starting at this point and he said "I'm done for today but come back in two weeks (for a cleaning) and I promise you'll feel 'Just Like Suicide' when I'm done!" This totally blew my mind, my dentist is a SG fan. Just thought you all would find this to be cool!!!

My side of the arguement is that it's always been a soundgarden song. Can anyone help me out and tell him that it WAS ALWAYS A SOUNDGARDEN SONG AND PEARL JAM CAN'T CLAIM IT!!!!!! I called him up last night cause my radio station said that Eddie Vedder broke Mike McCready's coller bone! just blabbing, -Rachel ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 12:29:26 -0400 From: Rachel Potter Subject: obsession2 I forgot this one: You know you're obsessed with sg when you have told all of your family members and friends that you're going to cornell university!!!!! <--- well...

Anyone know how he contributed to the album? ~Matt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 13:13:16 -0400 From: Matt Artis Subject: If you have a web page......

Thanx! ~Matt ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 12:14:52 -0400 From: Rachel Potter Subject: JCP video vs. the anti-christ Last night i was sitting on my bed watching MTV and thinking about soundgarden, and a Marilyn Manson video came on. I've been really pissed lately because i'm a huge sg fan and i've never seen the jesus christ pose video. And just then a Marilyn Manson video came on. And i was thinking that JCP was banned cause it's contents on christ (correct me if i'm wrong) and here's this discusting guy with cuts and scars all over him who advertises himself as "the anti-christ". It just really pisses me off that MM can have videos on MTV and a good clean band like soundgarden aren't allowed to have the JCP video on! Just sounding off, -Rachel ++++++++++++++++++++ Jeff Spicoli or Chris Cornell? ++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 14:01:43 -0400 From: Dan Barkman Subject: Re: JCP video vs. the anti-christ It just really pisses me off that MM can have >videos on MTV and a good clean band like soundgarden aren't allowed to have >the JCP video on! AMEN! - no pun intended. Right on, I kinda like MM but you are dead on it. How can they show some of that shit & NOT show SG. - - I guess the world isn't fair afterall.

You know you are obsessed with soundagrden when you compare every guys nipples with Chris Cornell's. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when you refer to lyrics when you talk to people. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when you didn't know you where that obsessed. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when your hard drive crashes n your main concern is you lost all those pictures of the band. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when your own mom encourages you to get a soundgarden tattoo AFTER the band has broken up n she really thinks tattoos are kind of disgusting but only because she thinks it will cheer you up. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when people hear about the band breaking up n they feel sorry for you n try to be really nice to you. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when you sit around thinking about merchandise they should make with soundgarden on it. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when you get really pissed of when people refer as the whole band as Chris Cornell. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when people such as heather mifflin piss them off n you want to kick their ass.(so you join KTMS.) You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when you want to put lots of posters of them as many as you can find on the floor n just roll in them. You know you are obsessed with soundgarden when NEED to a fix off of them or you are afraid you might have soundgarden withdrawls. Ok I feel really pathetic now that's enough from me. I am just a babbling fool really, Michele ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 18:07:29 -0400 From: Kelly Hendricks Subject: Curious... I know this is kinda a stupid question but I was wondering if anyone out there knows how I can e-mail Silver Management or A&M Records. I have a couple of questions that I would like to ask. Maybe it will work maybe it won't... Please let me know if you know anything. Thanks!! Take care and be sweet!!! Stay Cool, Kelly (C: (Aferdity@aol.com) P.S. You know your obsessed with SG when you get the BMF tattooed on your left back shoulder (you know where I mean) just so when people ask you what it is you have a way to talk about SG!!! Okay, that wasn't my real reason. I got it because it's a damn cool logo thingy!!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Jul 1997 08:52:55 EST From: Saskia Becher Subject: SG Tattoos I've been approached by a couple of people about my SG tattoo and that got me thinking (aaaahh!:*)) Do a lot of you have SG tattoos?

When you make sure to bring all your SG posters and music when you spend a week at your camp. When local record stores immidiately tell you that they have no new Soundgarden stuff before you're half-way through the door. When you want to name your dog after Chris's dogs. When even your friend who only listen to Bach and Mozart know the lyrics to Exit Stonehenge, FLutter Girl and Big Dumb Sex. When you accidently walk up to this guy that looks just like Chris, and even though youknow his name isn't Chris, you accidently call him that anyway.

Hello Soundgarden fanatics, Ive been away from somms awhile. So many crazy things going on. I have not listened to Soundgarden But tonite I listened to them. And it made me feel warm and happy. And wonder what theyre up to. You tell me its just music. Because I think its something more. Carol ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 21:33:28 PDT From: Winged Vermin Subject: obsessed thingee/Mtv Sux/Filter [yeah again sowwy] You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when..... ......you leave beer out on Christmas eve <> Didn't Mtv never used to play Marilyn Manson? MM used to hate Mtv [i do believe the line "T.V fucked by plastic queen"is aimed at Jenny McCarthy and her ilk], then they sacked their guiarist [but he rok-ed so *snivel*] and sold out to the corprates. Mtv dosn't like things that make you think, thinking is far too complex for the Mtv sales demographic. Mtv therefore try's not to show vid's that make you think and steers as far clear of bands like Soundgarden and Tool as possible. Also the JCP vid is longer than Mtv vid slots tend to provide for [this could easily contribute to the "example" that was made of it] and Marilyn Manson have Trent Reznor as a friend and Boss. <> WARNING: FILTER BEYOND THIS POINT Richie and Brian do the drumming/programming on the album[s], they work as a duo in studio. The new filter album is due out in september [yay]. Filter have also contributed to the SPAWN soundtrack album in a colaboration with Crystal Method, the track titled "[can you] trip like i do" can be accessed as realaudio/AIFF/wav at the SPAWN soundtrack site: http://www.music.sony.com/Music/ArtistInfo/Spawn/ there will very possibly be a video released for it [and Filter vids are always different] there is no word yet wither Matt Walker will be touring with filter again, but it is possible You're right Filter rule and so does SPAWN = ] _______________________________________________________ Get Private Web-Based Email Free http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Jul 1997 00:44:31 -0400 From: "Carol C." Subject: u no u r obsessed u no u r obsessed: when you write poetry about soundgarden. you buy vinyl to hang on the wall. you wear your soundgarden shirt for 3 days, sleep in it and all. a soundgarden boot can make your day. sometimes you worry, and hope theyre ok. you know them better than your neighbor next door, if you had to to meet them, you'd eat dead bugs off the floor.
