NOT AGAIN?!? at least we now have a final answer and nobody to say "no! it's james!" oh well, did everybody just pickup and go? whatever happenned to the SG fan covers page? i think that would be a really cool idea. if i knew how (and had the time to update it) i would even do it. yeah and then chris or matt'll hear it and he'll, like, track us down and ask someone to be in a new band their forming. no, not really. but the fan cover site would be kinda spiffy. charlie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 May 1998 19:11:03 -0500 From: Gary Rees Subject: AND ITS BEEN CONFIRMED... Have been getting all these new messages because I confirmed my Subscription? hmmm... I dunno....Well, anyway, speaking of fan covers me and my band " Naildriver 665 " ( i know sounds pretty lame...) did a cover of Rusty Cage and taped it on a Handheld tape recorder. It sounds pretty shitty, but we made the song sound alright. Oh yeah here's or lineup: Me- Guitar & Vocals Mike Schull- Guitar& vocals Elliot Strange- Bass Josh Fischer - Drums We're just a shitty little local cover band right now that covers Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Man or Astro-man, Pantera, Metallica and Alice in chains. We only played one live show that was way back in February fo our high school's battle of the bands to about 150 people on the Auditorium. We got a OK response...

Hey sommsters!! first off, i just want to express what a huge amount of joy and happiness this list has brought to me in the past two years (almost) that i've been on here. i have never experienced anything like this group and i highly doubt i ever will again. you've all added to my life in ways that no one i know can relate to because well, they just didn't have this kind of thing to go back to. i mean, the saddest times of my life have been played out for me in the past few years and being on here and hearing others and listening to a shared love with you all......it's been a comfort like no other. i couldn't have asked for anything else like this, and i thank you all so very much for it. [end unprovoked gushing] i don't know, i just feel very far from soundgarden lately. i know it's perfectly normal to not listen to your favorite band because you just get tired of hearing that same few songs over and over....but this feels weird. i don't feel much when i hear them. i know i haven't played them out for myself, that's impossible. ;-) i still love them, i feel so undeniably close to them, but i feel something missing again. it could just be me in a weird frame of mind, but this has gone on for a while now. maybe i just miss their presence, the fact that they were a band not *are* a band. but i won't go into that anymore than that sentence. but i sit here and listen to WWC and i *love* the music to death, find myself swaying back and forth and feeling like the sixties has come to me through the music that i listen to now. it's really strange, i feel like i live in this completely different era than anyone else i know. like, i have friends who like SG marginally and like some old stuff....but i just feel different. [if anyone feels like i've gone insane in the last few months, please let me know ;-) ] the clock is ticking in my head and i'm in a race against it and who knows what's going to happen. i'd just like to thank you all for being in my personal race and rooting me on with your $2 bets to show. = ) thanks guys. a point to this post? if you don't get it, i can't tell you. mind riot _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Niki, I just finished reading your post and I can't even tell you how much I relate. I thought it was just me, the past few weeks choosing other stuff over Soundgarden consistently, whether it be in my walkman or just to listen to at home. It seems the only time I hear Soundgarden now is when I'm listening to compilations or soundtracks which they happen to be on, or the radio (which still gives me a small thrill). I tried to blame the constant prescence of Yield or Vitalogy in my CD player on my excitement over the upcoming Pearl Jam shows but somehow that seemed hollow. I don't know if it is because the more our boys branch out and become involved in other projects the more distant the feeling of Soundarden is to me. I could blame it on not hearing anything new from them, but I'm always picking up singles and bootlegs that provide new listening material. It is hard to find a reason why the music that has meant so much to me for years has somehow lost the ability to touch parts of my soul that nothing else could reach. But perhaps all I (we) need is a break. And hey, this evening after work, I put on Mailman, stopped what I was doing and screamed along like I hadn't in a while. I've rambled too long....back to the Corona, Heather ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 17 May 1998 to 18 May 1998 ************************************************
