(snif). oh well Bob "The stars aren't aligned, or the gods are maligned- blame is better to give than receive..." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 17:11:04 +0100 From: Anders Nergaard Subject: KERRANG! I just read this Kerrang! article regarding A-sides on Seth's site. [...] You might be wondering about the title, too - calling the last testament to an awesome band 'A-Sides' , when it's obviously not. But look in a dictionary: Asides - " to be at one side away from the main part of the group. Words spoken so that only certain people will hear." In a word, Soundgarden. [end] Certainly something I haven't though of before. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Kim has supposedly put down his guitar recently to do some work for us real fans. He already compiled a listing of songs for "A-sides" (I don't know why "NTS" was on it and not "HD"!) and has talked about releasing an all b-sides compilation. Maybe Kim is out there listening to us at SOMMS and is looking for ideas. Well, here's my idea. The first thing that would be released is a video with all their unedited music videos on it (Flower/ Loud Love/ Hands All Over/ Jesus Christ Pose/ Outshined/ Spoonman/ Black Hole Sun/ Superunknown / Fell On Black Days/ My Wave/ The Day I Tried To Live/ Kickstand/ Pretty Noose <2 versions>/ Burden In My Hand/ Blow Up The Outside World) Also on the video (if there was room), would be a few live songs that were either rarely played live or only played live once. That video would be released two weeks before the date of the b-sides collection. They might also be able to make the video a dual one. For example Vid #1=Music videos/ Vid #2=Live performances-interview clips-misc. stuff. It would go for about $30-35 american dollars if it were doubled or $15-20 if it were a single video. The cd collection would have to be a quadruple release!! The cd's would just contain b-sides off of singles and ep tracks, along with comp. and soundtrack takes ***Here are ALL the versions and every official release that could be compiled*** (Incessant Mace / Heretic / Tears To Forget / All Your Lies / Sub Pop Rock City/ Toy Box/ Big Dumb Sex / Fresh Deadly Roses/ Heretic/ Come Together/ Ugly Truth / Big Dumb Sex / I Awake / Big Bottom / Into The Void / Girl U Want/ Stray Cat Blues/ She's A Politician/ Slaves & Bulldozers / HIV Baby/ Rusty Cage / Show Me/ Touch Me/ Big Bottom + Earache My eye / Outshined / Cold Bitch/ I Can't Give You Anything/ I Don't Care About You/ Can You See Me/ Homicidal Suicidal/ Fell On Black Days
