(about $6.40) And one Down on the Upside double clear vinyl. (about $19) My question is, are any of these rare? (esp. the DOTU album) How much are they worth? Did I pay too much? Are any of you interested in them (+ Fell on Black Days vinyl single with Kyle Petty, Son Of Richard, there were two left)? I'm willing to trade them for stuff I haven't got (CD-boots, tapes, posters, videos, singles, SOMMS etc.) If you're interested, email me. "Fill your head with crazy sounds" Andy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Aug 1997 11:35:47 -0400 From: Maria Joseph Subject: Re: Lyrics I think that the whole song of "Blow Up the Outside World" is pretty powerful, especially the chorus: "I've givin' everything I need I'd give you everything I own I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone I've given everything I could To blow it to hell and gone Burrow down in and Blow up the outside world" Also the lyrics to Boot Camp seem to attract me..Some on Pretty Noose strike as powerful also: "And I don't like what you go me hanging from" and also "Pretty Noose is pretty pain..." and then "I don't care what you got, I don't care what you need, I don't want anything, and I don't like what you got me handing from..." And there are tons more to point out on that CD. Some powerful(ly sung, especially) lyrics would come from Karaoke when Chris goes, "I'm gonna show you someday" four times and then hits the chorus lightely. For the Superunknown I'm just gonna name some songs: all of them. I think that every song on that album has at least a great verse that strikes as powerful.. esp: "With eyes of blood and bitter blue how I feel for you i feel for you" "get yourself afraid, get yourself alone, get yourself contained, get yourself controlled" "How would I know that this could be my fate" "Hang my head, drown my fear, till you all just disappear" "Head high got to smile" ............just to name a few lyrics. From Outshined: "Show me the power child, I'd like to say, that I'm down on my knees today, It gives me the butterflies, gives me away, till I'm up on my feet again, I'm feeling Outshined." ..And many more from that album. And then there's the chorus to Big Dumb Sex.. but there's more on that album too.. Kick Ass.. -Maria, I changed my screen name ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Aug 1997 12:02:58 -0400 From: Maria Joseph Subject: Yesterday.. ... I went to a local "independent" music store to get a 5.99 cd of Screaming Life/Fopp.. I went there and the cd went back up to about 14.00.. so I picked it up and began to walk around to see if there was any sense of SG life in that store.. it should be of course.. so I go to the books, for what I dunno, I wasn't looking for anythinng in particular, when I saw that SG book by Chris Nickson called New Metal Crown.. There were two of them so I picked one up to glance through it and thought I'd get it for school (in which I will explain later..) So I put back the cd and I got the book instead. It was about 11 bucks... then I remembered about a little poster type section in the store. It had all these covered pieces of cardboard on the floor standing up and I wasn't sure what they were so yesterday I decided to take a look and found out that you can touch then and that they were posters.. So immediately I looked for SG, thinking that it'd just be the same poster I have.. but no.. It had all kinds of posters I've never seen before.. Fell on Black Days, DAy I tried to Live, etc.. I saw this one with Chris' face on it and another that had like 2 or three in them.. and they're only 5.99 so I will most definetly buy them all... I checked that store for the vids but I didn't see them the last time so I will check again later... I said that I'd get the book for school because I am supposed to be reading books for English over the summer and for my non-fiction selection I was gonna do that CD book on sg, but finding a quote was the hardest and it winded up find a lot of quotes so I thought I'd give the "official" book of SG a try.... Also.. yesterday I was riding shot gun with my dad and I was station surfing of course and I came around to 98 Rock and they said SG would be on the way.. I was excited but not very because I kinda figured it would be Rhinosaur.. so when they were done with commercials SG came on and it was Outshined!! I was so psyched! I had never heard that on the radio before.. I've on heard BHS, BIMH, Rhino, and I think PN.. also BUTOW.. So of course I sang along with it.. also.. about half an hour ago, Singled Out was going off playing their credits and Outshined played :).. uh.... hope you guys like my new name.. I thought RockChic0 was boring.. so.. I will post again later, some things that were said in interviews.. for entertainment purposes. Don't let it get out of hand like that other post I sent out that included the AIDS joke. Ok, well, then, later. Kick Ass -Maria, simply obsessed and out-of-control.... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Aug 1997 12:55:16 -0400 From: Catherine Veit Subject: Re: FAVOURITE LYRICS hello again mike, you probably don't remember me but hey, i forg ot what boot i sent you..hope it's good.

I SAW THEIR SHOW LAST DECEMBER IN LA AND OF COURSE IT WAS INCREDIBLE, BUT MAYBE NOT AS GOOD AS THE SHOW IN 94'. LET ME JUST START BY SAYING THAT CHRIS LOOKED INCREDIBLY FINE( DRESSED IN BLACK JEANS & WHAT LOOKED LIKE A WHITE UNDERSHIRT) OH MY GOD I WAS SO HARD. THEY PLAYED ALL THE GOOD SONGS FROM SUPERUN.. ABOUT 4 FROM BADMOTOR... & OF COURSE FROM DOTU. TOWARDS THE END HE STUCK IN HANDS ALL OVER WHICH WAS A SHOCK BUT AND ENJOYABLE ONE AT THAT. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS HAD TO BE TY COBB & HELTER SKELTER. THEY THREW THEIR H2O, THEY INSULTED THE CROWD IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! WAIT.. NOW A NEW MEMORY IS POPPING INTO MY HEAD.

Rebekah :) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Aug 1997 15:10:43 -0400 From: Maria Joseph Subject: Just to clear it up..sorry to bring it up again Hey, you lovely SOMMSters in which I love you all so dearly and so equally the same! I know that we've been over this, but I wasn't sure if it was completely settled.. it's about Chris' ethnicity or heritage or whatever. I do want to confirm that he has Irish blood. Chris was growing up as an Irish Catholic.. which in one part would mean that he has an accent.. whether it's not noticable all the time or not, but he does have a small one when he talks sometimes.. Please don't start a debate with this. I just wanted to help :) -Maria, still reading the book.. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Aug 1997 15:22:42 -0400 From: Nadezhda Ball Subject: Re: 13/11/96...also known as the best night of my life okay fav lyrics, hmmmmmmmmmm.................. 4th of july-whole song searching with my good eye closed-whole song Especially: "stop yer tryin to bruise my mind, i can do it on my own. stop yer tryin to kill my time, it's been my death since i was born. i don't remember half the time, if i'm hiding or i'm lost. but, but i'm on my way." if you were mine to give i might throw it away.-ugly truth from tears to forget i suckle life. it's love and it's beauty i scream from life these tears to forget everyline from slaves and bulldozers tighter and tighter and i hope it's sweet ride. cuz i feel i'm going feel i'm slowing down. sleep tight for me, i'm gone. if i keep going i think we'll have every sg song jesus christ pose (no not becuz i think it's denouncing jesus, i know better) head injury- i think song's lyrics are just so phat he didn't he did nothing perfect he did nothing quite well he did nothing perfectly, much better than i can tell and a whole bynch of lyrics that you guys already submitted if i keep going i think we'll have every sg song this here is in response to rita wow that's so cool that that was yer last concert to see them in. ah! it was like salt in the wounds when you mentioned the shows in nyc. i had tickets to the last show. i was excited bcuz i was gonna go back stage, but then i turned the cornert to see that the soundgarden show was cancelled. the last sg show i saw was at lollyforloozers, it was aweful, they played a really good set, although i can't remember for the life of me what they played. all i can remember is blackhole sun, cuz chris had to do it by himself for some reason, and mailman. there was a mosh pit and i didn't wanna be in it. all the fukers that were there were these metallica fans. i like metallica, but not the dumb ass fans. i wanted to see my boys and sing along and have a good time, but all i got was a face full of mud and assholes touchin my tits and thinkin they can push me down for the sake of proving their manhoodliness. i was so upset. that was my first and last time seeing them. i was so upset i went back to where my friends were sitting and started to cry one) becuz i got to see my boys, and we were in the same place at the same time, we might as well of exploded. two) i couldn't see my boys, all i saw were lil blurs on stage. three) i couldn't hear shit through the screams for metallica to come on stage. my friend nefty came to get me and put me on his back, and then i moved to his shoulders. i was so happy. a horrible situation turned into a good one.hey i'm just happy that i got to see them at all and even though at the time i wasn't into all their songs they did make me go home and listen to bmf again.

He seems colorful enough. It's just that he has a strange and disturbing sense of humor. For some, disturbing is the only way to go. If I met Ben, we'd do something creative together, like dig a hole. Then we'd find hanson and beat the living cream cheese out of them with our basses. Then we'd go pick up Sid Viscious and Les Claypool and walk the path of world domination in a big green van. No one would be able to stop us and the world would be forever stained by our selfish actions. Or maybe we'd just get drunk and give eachother humiliating haircuts. I've seen it happen before . . . Along the lines of lyrics, I'd have to say that it's one of the factors that severely attracts me to sg. Some songs have obscure meanings and can be interpeted in a load of diverse manners. Others aren't as complicated (Big Dumb Sex). My favorite lyric would have to be, "Damn the water/Burn the wine" from Let Me Drown. I enjoy it because I can't tell what the hell it means. It's fun though. -Jimi ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Aug 1997 16:15:37 -0400 From: Nadezhda Ball Subject: if you guys remember this i will love you forever okay i just sent out a post regarding musical backround and where i first saw soundgarden. but then i realized that i was lying! i did not first see sg on mtv. well of course i saw them in singles like i said. but whatever. does anyone remember that show, almost live, it was on comedy central. i would go to my friend's house and watch it all the time. well it was a bunch of middle aged people trying to play off that they're young and hip, but they're all going thru a mid life crisis. bill nye the science guy was on it. well whatever. they had this segment called the lame list. it had a whole bunch a grungy boys standing a round and they'd ask them questions like.... when yer girlfriend yells at you for leavin the toilet seat up? and then they'd all yell LAME! and then they'd ask questions like.......... when the hypotenuse of a triangle doesn't equal pi or something along the lines of that? and they'd all just look around all confused and shit and go huh?and then they'd ask questions like.......... when you run out of beer when mudhoney plays in yer loft for a party, or something like that? and they'd aall go LAME! LAME! LAME! as they bashed their heads. well guess what boys and girls, kim thayil was on the lame list. i remember liking him cuz he stuk out like a sore thumb. i was like who's dat indian guy? he had me all confused and shit. well one night i was at my friends house about 3 or 4 years ago and we were watchin headbangers ball(ah the memories) and soundgarden was on. my two friend's just started talking about chris's hair, back and forth about shorter or longer and then they asked me what i thought. i had no fukin clue who this guy was! so i just nodded my head. then they took a shot of kim and at the same time me and my friend liz jumped up and pointed at kim and started jumping up and down and saying that's the guy from the lame list! that's the guy from the lame list! well that's the first time i can remember seeing all of soundgarden, but i didn't still know it was them. it takes me a long time to register things, i'm not dumb or anything, i just realize things much much later. whatever's clever.

"search and destroy" is a cover; the original is by iggy and the stooges, and it's on the album "raw power." if i may, i'd like to insert a plug here for the stooges, one of the greatest punk bands of all time. i'd bet a lot of sg fans who haven't heard the stooges would like them. get the album "fun house" first. it's kind of a punk/jazz mix, sort of like "drawing flies" and "room a thousand years wide." vasant ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Aug 1997 14:34:44 -0700 From: Dave Subject: Re: Speech problems?

Ben kept throwing these stupid-ass unclear temper tantrums as they said (they didn't say stupid-ass unclear) and he would wreck his bass or spit or turn his back or walk off stage and that sucks! If you pay good money to see a rock classic, u don't want yet another bass player after Hiro to go insane.. (Jason wasn't all that peachy according to the band)........ But..

Well....that is, until I *actually* sent it, then I knew I should have written that it that the skit didn't actually get on the air... Okay then.....I'm in the *best* of moods and good humor, so all of the above is me giving shit to myself....but thank you all!

Should I be beside myself And not even stay. And I'm lost behind Words I'll never find And I'm left behind As seasons roll on by" They just get to me.

CATS4KIM ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Aug 1997 00:52:03 -0400 From: Maria Joseph Subject: Soundgarden/Billy Corgan I've noticed that awhile ago it was brought up about Chris being a better singer than Billy or whatever. Well.. I was reading and noticed some possible "rivalry" (I did use quotes.. doesn't mean it's happening) or maybe even "hostility" (it doesn't mean it happened) between some of SG and Mr. Corgan. Kim kinda made a comment (more than likely he was having fun) that he said a little to loudly.. loud enough for Billy to see Kim later and in front of some of the band say that Kim heart him deeply in his heart.. And.... Since I am the person I am.. that loves my SOMMSters (as it says in my profile that we rule), I will once again provide you with another kewl interview.. if you have read this.. you don't have to read it. So once again I will provide this little interview/story with you... Enjoy and don't get all rowdy like you did with the last interview/CC tips post I did :) .................I will begin at the part theat Billy comes in.. Here's the play: CHARACTERS: Chris Cornell as Chris the Bored Man, Kim Thayil as Kim the Accussed, Billy Corgan as Billy the Hurt Boy, and Matt Cameron as Matt the Astounded Quick-Lined Superdrummer SETTING: Hotel (the bar of course) and Breeder's dressing room (at the Big Day Out fest) In the lobby bar of one of the tallest hotels, Cornell and Thayil are settling back with a couple of beers when Billy Corgam from Smashing Pumpkins wanders through, and decides to join them for a strawberry margarita. Corgan chatters about the pain of his life, the supposed incompetence of his band (everybody rolls their eyes), the lifesaving virtues of Jungian therapy, bands that suck. Cornell gets up to leave. Corgan tells Thayil how important Soundgarden used to be to him, and he baits him by saying that the Pumpkins sometimes do a cover of Soundgarden's "Outshined" that segues into a Depeche Mode song or something. "Im thinking of making my next album really new wave," Corgan says, "like '83-'84 new wave, not like Berlin. I spend all my time doing things that may be a bit tangential, but I think I'm going to go back to the core, the heart music. Echo and the Bunnymen." This is standard stuff to anybody who has read even a single Billy Corgan profile, the basic curriculum of Pumpkins 101. But Thayil isn't buying. He's sore. "Don't you see," Thayil says, "you're this incredibly talented guy. People like your music. You have a good band. You sell a lot of records. You don't need all this... stuff." "What sign are you?" Corgan asks. "What do you mean, what sign am I?" Thayil says. "What difference could that possibly make?" "C'mon," wheedles Corgan, "when is your birthday?" "All right, goddamn it: September 4th." "Aha!" Corgan says. "A Virgo. You're argumentative." "Damn right, I'm argumentative, "Thayil says, and takes a long, angry pull at his beer, "which you should know because I've been arguing with you for half an hour, not because of any sign." "I'm a Pisces," Corgan replies. "We pick up on those things." A minute later, Corgan, still probing, finally finds the key to Thayil's heart: "I hate how in magazine pictures, they always stick me somewhere in the back." Thayil explodes: "What do you mean? You write all the songs, and you do all the interviews. You play the instruments on the album. You control the band to the extent that most people think of Smashing Pumpkins as the Billy Corgan Experience, and all you care about is some photograph?" "But I hate it," Corgan says, "it means they don't think I'm the cute one." "Ooh," Thayil says a little too loudly as Corgan walks away, "I'll bet he's going to call his therapist in Chicago, wake her up at four in the morning, and tell her about that big, mean bear who made fun of him." The next day at the Big Day Out festival, Thayil is talking to Kim and Kelley Deal in the Breeder's dressing room, when Corgan walks past wearing a long-sleeved Superman T-shirt like the one your four-year-old nephew probably owns. "You hurt me deeply," Corgan says, touching the giant S on his chest and pouting. "You hurt me deeply in my heart." The Pumpkins go on to play the best set anybody has ever heard them play, their usual passiveness and precision overlaid with an unfamiliar scrim of anger that throws their musc into brilliant relief. Matt Cameron is a little astounded. "Kim should rent himself out as a tour shrink," he says. Not that I'm saying anything.. just telling a story I read. It happend though.. Nothing special.. Kick Ass, SOMMSters! -Maria, still reading.. I'll tell you if I like it or not :) ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 9 Aug 1997 to 10 Aug 1997 ***********************************************
