You're thinking of the samples on "Hand of God"

Chris does the preacher in "Hand of God". It says that somewhere on the
site. And whoever did the narrating on Searching with my good eye closed
is credited on bmf booklet. Why do you people care?

WELLL.. what a night!!!

before going to go see Radiohead, which totally blew me away, i decided
i might as well pop into Rockinghorse Records 2 to see if the SOMMS disc
justin mentioned to the list was still there.
i called up the store earlier in the week and they said that they
couldn't find it and it must have been bought already..

i kinda gave up and forgot about it until tonight when i was in the city
for the radiohead show and it was late night shopping and i thought i
should see for myself, maybe pick up some other SG stuff i could find..

well I DAMN WELL FUCKING FOUND SOMMMMMMMMMSSSSS!!!! after having a heart
attack in the store (the guy was looking thru a pile of discs, "lemme
see if i can find it..hmmm let's seee.." and i was like "HERE IT IS!"
and grabbed it off the guy hehe) i was giggling and carrying on and
grabbing my friends arm and i kept saying "oh my god i found it!!"

i paid for it ($30) and finally got myself Flower too ($10).. there was
an interview disc thing for 27 bucks and i put my foot down.. lee (from
this here list) gave me SUPERUNINTERVIEW today too.. it's almost like
christmas, i tell ya.. heheh

but anyway, i'm rambling here.. to cut a long story short i was dancing
all over the city streets of brisbane swinging around this little bag
and occasionally laughing and saying 'i've got it!' hehehehe
*embarrassed slightly*

and not 5 minutes later who should i run into....
JUSTIN from this list! yes, the person who tipped me off about SOMMS in
the first place.. i told him i'd praise him on here.. i know ya said not
to, justin, but this CD has made my day, my week, my year.. and i have
YOU to thank for it! it was excellent luck to have met you and to thank
you in person.. thank you thank you thank you!! :) :) :) :)

anyway, i've done enough silliness on here.. sorrrrry but i've been
waiting for this day for years..

add me to the list! cos i now have SOMMS!!!!

Koggle

ps. uh keep on keepin on w/ the directory thingo whatsit.. hehehe

Subject: Soundgardenless, double take, and goodbyes...

To clear things up, I'm not soundgardenless but my room is.  I'm getting ready
to move so I had to take all my sg stuff off of my walls.  The only sg thing
still hanging is my '98 calander and a poster in my closet (but nobody knows
about it so shhhhhh....)  Anyway, it's depressing sometimes to go in there now
and know what it used to look like.  Oh well...  The double take thing is not
about a person (I couldn't think of anything else) but it's about a song, so
I'll explain...I usually keep my cd player on shuffle and i have 3 sg cd's in
there at a time.  Well, I turned on my cd player the other night and the first
few cords of BHS came on so I turned it off to hear what was on the radio and
the radio picked up exactly where my cd left off.  I was like, "Okay, I'll
listen to the damn song!!"  Not that I have anything against the song but I
guess someone or something thought I should hear it, so I listened to it.
Just thought that was kinda creepy.  The goodbyes are for everyone that has
made my stay here at SOMMShotel a cool and unforgettable experience.  Like I
said, I'm getting ready to move and I can't take my computer with me and also
school is so overwhelming right now I haven't read SOMMS in forever so I'm
saying, "Adios" to everyone.  I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that
helped me find cd's and other odds and ends that I couldn't find down here.
Ya'll have been great!!!  This is the last bull-shit nonsense ya'll will hear
from me (at least for awhile)!!!!  Take care and be sweet!!!

Stay Cool,
Kelly  (C:

 duh. >>

     Okay.  The person in Searching... is Damon Stewart.  In the sleeve notes
it clearly says, Narration- Damon Stewart, not narration on Hand of God- Damon
Stewart.  Why would they include him in the credits for an album that came out
five years later.  And it's also impossible because they also say who the
saxophonist was and the pianist if I remember correctly.  Susan Silver is
undoubtedly the single dumbest suggestion I've ever heard.  I don't think her
voice is that deep and if it is that deep we should start giving our opinions
on her background (i.e. she must have been born a male to have a voice that
deep. jk), not who the narrator was in the song.

The bio on TOTD was written by Jeff Ament. Ames is from his art company
that he does with his brother under the name Ames Bros. They did all the
artwork for TOTD, as well as for MLB's double CD and most of PJs
memorbilia...

Subject: Tighter & Tighter

Hey y'all,

Does any one else on the list here ever actually listen to Tighter & Tighter
more than twice with the CD player on the repeat button??? I have, and
the first time I did this was about 6 months ago. T&T is to me what
Soundgarden is in total. To me, this is their song. It's a wild, wild, song...
but deep. As I read the lyrics, I have the impression that Chris is kinda
recapping SG's career. For example, there are references to snakes, and
where haven't we seen that in a SG song? There is a "everything is black,
or burning sun"...which is screaming out BHS reference. If anyone is doing
a Song of the Month or Song of the last 6 months, do this song. Or, if Seth
has quit the SOTM, I am willing to type out a page or two about T&T, and hell,
if you don't like this song, it's better than most of their songs....

Another idea for the Song of the Month, is Sunshower...most of the list
seems to enjoy it...for various reasons. And just because it ain't as heavy
as Pretty Noose, doesn't mean it isn't a good song. I enjoy listening to it
because there is that kick-ass guitar solo that has that real climatic feeling
I've never really heard/experienced before.

Enough of me, back to da show.

Dave
