Gee, Mike, it seems like only yesterday that we learned Hiro has left Truly and I alerted you to a rare calendar containing SG that is for sale. Today we have tales of Chris sightings at a Seattle PJ concert along with an affirmation that he is recording in LA. There have been numerous reviews of Matt's exploits with PJ, reports of Kim conducting a live radio show, and I recently fished for info concerning a Ben Shepherd/Pete Krebs rumor. Granted, there's not a whole lot of news out there to be reported right now, but some of us are still trying to keep abreast of things and let others know what we find out. There has been an overabundance of cereal fillers and insoluble roughage on here lately, but maybe your delete key finger's a tad itchy too.

I'm dubbing every single video SG has ever made, including both versions of "Outshined" and "Hunger Strike", and putting it all on to one video tape. I'll be sharing it with the person who got this whole list into an unholy uproar. That person only meant well, and it's only people like that, who get scrutinized to this extent, that I have chosen to share the SOUNDGARDEN video party with!!!!!

I'll tell ya! :) just when i thought this would all stop....we have to endure another lecture about how to be better people. JEEZ already. nothing personal Koggle but can't we just talk like who we are about something we really like without having to worry about someone scrutinizing our way of doing it? i give up...oh well. i won't say anything more.

Kim hey kids. hmms... i dunno what to think of these posts about "stopping the flaming" and blah blah blah. i just hope people stik to their word. maybe we'll get SG stuff bak... who knows... but most of you kids are hella luky, concidering the fact that you guys had somms, when the band was around. crap... i remember gettin DOTU and seeing their website addresses, and i was just like, "damn it... i wish i could go there". i didnt have the internet until like err, may ??? and by then, when i went to all the websites, it was just mainly bout the breakup. mans... Anywhoski... someone mentioned "FANactic", and i had to say my five buks about it. man, i remember when i first saw that crap about FANactic, and i was askin my friend Roscow, "hey who would you interview" and we thought about it, and i was all, "man, you'd interview Rob Zombie", and then i thought about who i'd interview, and i was just kinda blank. i KNOW it was someone from SG, but who?? and then i remembed the interview from guitar world with kim in the "profile" section, and it was after the breakup. man!! kim sounded SO smart!! i was just in awe... cause i usually only found SG articles, but no kim. and then when i got hype!, i loved watching the parts where kim was all talking... he just rules in general. so to cut to the chase, i know i would wanna interview kim... he just seems so damn cool... and not to rip on any of the other guys, i just have this vibe about kim... Sorry kids... theres my rambling... well, i hope this is a good start off to more SG related posts... and lastly this: for all who hated me before for my "language" and my "non SG related posts", i think ive cleaned up a bit, and im proud of myself for that... no, i will never stop using the word "anywhoski", but i think my posts are better... this is cool beans, oh yeah, yesterday (july 31), i turned 15!! wahoo!! the ones with the 5's are good years... aww yeah... chat yall up later!! adios an d keep on truckin!! peace, love, hope, faith, soup and s o u n d g a r d e n always groovy, kathleen : )) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Aug 1998 13:49:57 -0700 From: niki freer Subject: Chris' Voice Matt asked me to forward this to you guys.

(/start sarcasm) Yes, I just LOVE to make people pull their hair out. I get up early in the morning just to publically FLAME people, as I get my jollies doing so. I find addresses to music bulletin boards and mailing lists, and just imtimidate any unlucky bloke who stands in my way. To hell with private mail! Not when I can flame in a way that'll make sure EVERYONE sees it! And I continue this throughout the whole day until I pass out on the keyboard, where even then I flame in my dreams! Muaahaahaaaaa!!! (/end sarcasm) In other words, no, I'm not trying to get on everyone's nerves.
