I bought the Screaming Life book (with CD stuck inside the back cover) in a regular record store here in merrie englande - no trouble. There were of tons of copies on the shelves. So, to answer your question...it's not rare :-) Though I don't know if the book is still in print.

I saw the episode when it was first on. Those were the only two references to Soundgarden. ***Overall message of Soundgarden's inclusion on the episode: Members of Soundgarden look cool. In the first episode of "Suddenly Susan", there was a mention of Soundgarden. Susan (played by Brooke Shields) has hangover and the music reviewer says he's reviewing the new Soundgarden, puts the headphones on Susan's ears and blasts the music. This makes Susan jump up and clutch her ears in pain. ***Overall message of Soundgarden's inclusion on the episode: The music of Soundgarden, administered at high volumes and close proximity, is not a good remedy for hangovers. your in-depth television analyst, BadBen Ben Timberlake KILL btimlake@nwu.edu YOUR btimlake@aol.com TELEVISION!

Now, I know that forwards aren't allowed on the list. But when I got it, I thought it was a SOMMS message, and I figured this might count as soundgarden memorabilia... if you put a BMF sticker on it or something. >1.4oz Jar >HOLY WATER > >Send $25.00 check or money order to: >{make payable to CPR} > >CPR International Dept#2 >15900 Crenshaw blvd. #1310 >Gardena California 90249 > >allow 4-6 weeks for delivery > >COOL huh? Don't ask STUPID Questions! Oh, also, I was flipping through that new Raygun book that compiles some of the most interesting design from that pub and its sister magazines. Anyway, when I opened it, I happeed to flip right to the page Soundgarden was on (the index says page 83, but there are no page numbers, so that's pretty useless). There was this pretty cool picture of Chris leaning on a wall with his head. I don't understand why so many photographers always wanted to picture the guy as if he was contemplating suicide. In a way, I almost think that portrayal is worse than the shirtless, sex-object depiction. The page also had a quote from Kim, remembering Frank Zappa (Raygun, Oct. 1995): "I never got into _Apostrophe_ or _Overnight Sensation_. I think it's because when I was 18 at the University of Illinois, they were having a punk party and these frat types were wearing long underwear and drinking Everclear and Kool-Aid out of a garbage can; they were listening to _Apostrophe_ and singing all the lyrics. That ruined my first impression, unfortunately." -- BadBen Ben Timberlake KILL btimlake@nwu.edu YOUR btimlake@aol.com TELEVISION! "Ready or not, like it or not, here they come again.

When i heard this i though "no fuckin way, and that sounds like a early Pantera album tiltle or something", well i totally by accident found out the source and who [possibly] actually is releasing an album in 1998 called "Power Trip". It seems Monster Magnet are releasing "Power trip" in 1998, go figure, 'spose that sorta connect's with John McBain Being in Hater and WCC and formerly in Monster Magnet, fucking strange rumor though......the below is off a Monster Magnet web site, supposedly from A&M <> oh yay, Wingd ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jul 1997 10:23:27 -0600 From: "Jason S.

The mix on Ultamega blows so bad. Why don't they rerelease it? I mean, every SOMMSter will buy it, so they'd make money right there. Companies remaster stuff all the time, look at every Ozzy Osbourne release ever or Screaming Life/Fopp. Now, I know remastering only smoothes out the analog wave, and that remixing is more trouble, but all they need is the original tracks, or better yet, reunite the band (Hiro and all) and rerecord it. Once you have the individual tracks, it may still take some time, but since they already fucked it up once, it shouldn't take as long the second time.

One that I was suprised to see is a picture of Kim, Ben, and Chris in a Peavey add. Kim's holding some Peavey guitar sitting on a Peavey amp. That was odd, but I also found this really cool Ernie Ball add where the whole page is black and the Kim's picture is in a frame in the middle of the page. I was tearing out pictures for like 2 hours while watching Conan and then Later, but it was worth it. Ohh I almost forgot the whole reason why I wrote this. If you want a poster of the Peavey add send 2 dollars to: Box SG, Peavey Electronics 711 A Street Meridan, MS 39302 All you Ben lovers, Ben has a whopping 0 (yes, zero) votes in my Soundgarden poll, so go vote!!!

Is this the guitar-intro from JCP? Can someone confirm this? And watching Badmotorvision for the 13235 time, I noticed something new. Mind Riot. I actually find this version to be better than the original. (But what does Kim do during it? I can't seem to hear him.)

I am a girl and I get that way sometimes when I hear: 1. Ty Cobb 2. Pretty Noose 3. Black Hole Sun (i think i'd pick this one) 4. Jesus Christ Pose (because it makes me think of all those "wannabees" that think that they are high and almighty..) 5.

Actually, I believe it's Thigh-il. That's how Kim says it in the "spell-it" sound file on the Unoff page. By the way, where are those spell-em sounds from? They're funny to me for some reason. Because that pronunciation so surprised me when I first heard that sound, I made it a point to ask Kim's dad when I talked to him in November. I'm pretty sure he confirmed the "Thigh-il" pronunciation, but it was pretty noisy when I was talking to him. Trying to make the world a better place for pronunciation. -- Ben Ben Timberlake KILL btimlake@nwu.edu YOUR btimlake@aol.com TELEVISION! "Ready or not, like it or not, here they come again.
