We're running out of uploads on the rarities mp3 server and I doubt the account will remain if it's all take and no give. Please contact me if you have something to contribute.

Well it's hard to say, I would gess they know what day it is but then we don't know what kinda relationship they've had since the split up. For all we know they might see each other on a regular basis, so it might not be that big a deal for them. Logic would dictate that the day means something to them too, I mean we're talking about a period in their lives which spanned over 13 years. It's not something you're very likely to forget within a year! I'm pretty sure they know what day it is.

I've got some shitty news. i've got to vanish for what could possibly be quite a while, i've got some way heavy shit going down and i'm being barred from email and anything computer by my father. i can't explain it here, it's too strange and not soundgarden related at all besides the fact that my father blames soundgarden and this list for all that i've become. that, to me, is a compliment, but he's decided to make me take drug tests and AIDS tests and stuff like that because he thinks i've become irrational and insanely stupid and drugs is the only reason why. [so he thinks.] there's a lot of crazy shit going on. so i've got to vanish for a while. on April 9th, just like the rest of them did. SG this is a sorrowful day, but i'm reveling in your musical beauty instead of wallowing in my personal grief. thank you boys again for it all. don't write me here, don't write me at the other address especially because i have zero access to it. and don't worry about me [my friends on the list, that is] because all is going to be fine. i hope. i will miss you all, i've been here since june 96 and leaving even for this while is going to be hard. i love you all guys, i'll be back, i promise. con mucho gusto, niki [mind riot] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 12:41:05 EDT From: Nothng2Say Subject: Re: **APRIL 9th** Actually I don't think the date April 9th will mean much to the guys, 'cause it seems like it waas all downhill leading up to this day last year. April 9th was just when they chose to announce it to the world, I'm sure the decision was made well before. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 21:42:59 +0200 From: Anders B-N Nergaard Subject: why? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 18:27:31 EDT From: UnknownGrl Subject: breakup well... it's happened we've survived a year without them.... There's not much more i can say. -Rachel ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 16:24:25 PDT From: Star Pancake Subject: Suckage turns 1 Happy birthday to all things that suck (no offense to my teacher I just threw a birthday party for).Happy birthday to that scar on my arm that just barely reads, "Soundgarden"...Happy birthday to that scar in my soul that doesn't read anything but "oh my god I cant fucking believe it". Happy birthday to the fucked up half of my life...Jesus, I can't believe it's here. I've been anticipating this day in dread for a month, and then, *poof* it's here. I think I'm in shock... I almost wish I didn't care so much. I feel like an idiot because my bud Arden is supposed to be the big Soundgarden freak in our school, but I seem to be feeling worse than her... I dunno. It's just wierd, knowing that exactly one year ago, so many people's lives out there (especially us) were changed forever. Chris, Matt, Ben, and Kim, you were all so fucking amazing, I feel like I did a year ago. Totally speechless. Since then I have acquired 6 of their current 7 albums (EVERYTIME I COME ACROSS SCREAMING LIFE I'M BROKE!!!!), a wall of tributes, memorization of nearly all of their songs... and a love so great I can't express it, because people get jealous. Also sprouting from my garden of fondness was my own Soundgarden website (not even close to being as cool as Seth's) but it's a nice retreat... it is currently undergoing a certain period of mourning, as it is shut down until May 9. April 9, 1998...wow. I can't believe it. pUnKy !~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~! !"Whatsoever I've feared, has come to life.."! !~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~! ~~~~~ {{{{84-97}}}} ~~~~~ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 20:17:45 -0500 From: Amy Subject: April 9th This is a somber day. But not as bad as one year ago when I heard the news, which first made me feel sick and ultimately (a couple of weeks later) made me break down and cry. Consolation comes in the knowing that their music is immortal and will always be there. Pleasure comes in having their music---which you identify with, you use as an escape and, most importantly, you enjoy.

It's just been another day, but a weird Soundgarden story played out today that has made me *very* proud of my mother! For anyone out there who thinks their parents aren't cool, pay attention. She was at a bar that has some machine that you can play different games on. She and 2 other women were playing a game like Wheel of Fortune. The clue "Artist and Album" came up. Well they each took turns guessing letters and while some other girl was guessing, my mother figured out Soundgarden. She didn't tell them though. She waited. Then when they got more in the album title she guessed it too. What makes this so remarkable to me is the fact that the album wasn't Superunknown and it wasn't Down On The Upside; they're 2 most recognizable albums (in terms of titles) in my opinion. The album was Louder Than Love! She got it! She now has the most points on that game (51,000+)! She was only one who knew who SG was. I've taught her well. :) Some people may view this as a stupid story, but I think it has special meaning. I've probably only said Louder Than Love no more than 2 or 3 times around my mother in the past 2 years, and she remembered it! I got to thinking about how many times people here have probably casually mentioned SG, one of their songs or albums to someone and it stuck with that person. Maybe it turned them on to SG. Maybe they're listening to SG right now and getting some sort of meaning out of it or feeling really good about the gem they've just discovered. It makes me feel good that this happened on this day. To me, it's just a feel good story and it succeeded with making me feel wonderful about Soundgarden! May Soundgarden be with you.

Where was I when it happened? Asleep, but I heard it on the radio thing something... Show. I dunno. Anyways, my comp was acting gay and not working so I had no access to the lisp, err list... When I did get back online I had a few 400 messages.. Oh well that was then this is now. We can look forward to Chris's solo thing, and other stuff I guess. So whats up with the undernet #somms channel? Any one go there anymore? I'll be there tonight by micelf having a vigil or sorts. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 22:16:03 -0500 From: Bill Flanders Subject: I can't wait.... until the clock strikes 12:00 and no more of these messages are sent.
