For those interested who didn't see Niki's email, Seth's site (gee, does anyone not know the URL?) has two .au files of the song. Yes, like everyone's said, it is heavy. You know how in Mailman Chris is practically spitting his words out.. how you can almost imagine his teeth gritting and an expression of anger on his face..? it is the same as this. Except there's no "hello don't you know me" (which doesn't sound too harsh at face value), it's like "you'll never _____ without me".. in your face, thems the facts, you're doomed. It's also a tad slower. It's sort of like Come Together's (the Soundgarden version of course) speed.. no, it's slower.. I guess it's slower and heavier sounding than any other SG release.. anyone know of songs comparable in speed that my tired brain can't recall? An mp3 would be heavenly but until i find the boot, or until a shock release happens, i'll wear out these au files. :) Thank you Mr Perlman!

But i can see all the Mailman comparisons too, especially on the vocals. You know the break in S&B after Kim's solo, where he's almost whispering and then kind of breaks into a howl a few lines later? Thats *kind of* vaguely what you could hear Christi as doing too. But its not howling, it's the grinding "you'll see.... you'll see...." kind of horror movie-level psychotic / Mailman kind of growl. [yeah kogg, a movie psycho is perfect!] And I absolutely adore mailman and S&B, so Christi is right up my alley. I believe when i first heard the song i went nutso for it. Hell, i even transcribed the lyrics for the site that someone posted a couple days ago!! :) i can't say how right they are, maybe i or someone should go back and do a clean up job?? I'll think about it. mindriot ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 09:36:38 -0700 From: Mark Miller Subject: Duct tape on the morning news? I was getting ready for work and watching the morning news and this story came on about a guy who makes stuff out of duct tape. He was in NYC selling the stuff and they showed him making a wallet out of duct tape. CC was way ahead of his time. I didnt see if he had any duct tape shorts like Chris in the Loud Love? video. Oh, he was sellin the wallet for $15. I think a roll iof duct tape is what, like $0.99? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 13:43:15 PDT From: The Koggle Subject: Re: Christi.... finally.. heh >i awake live. or the beginning of gun. their come together was funny but >it's >not one of my favorite songs. you think Come Together was funny? i think it's cooool.. I haven't heard the version on the album that has Thank you for lettin me be myself or the Me and my Monkey song(know what i mean?!) i have it on a boot.. so maybe i've been spoilt by the way coooool version.. But anyway i'm a huge Beatles fan so any connection between the two is like semi-temple of the dog-ish for me. But yeah i awake live.. and the slower parts of gun. I agree with what Niki said about the part of S&B after the solo.. it's like that.. Anyway i feel like i'm rambling pretty bad today.. i'll leave it here.. heheh Kogg ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 14:38:33 PDT From: Ryan Gilbert Subject: Must hear Christi Hey everyone. I've been dying to hear this "Christi" song. I've heard that it's on Seth's site, but I'm kinda new here so I don't know it. Could somebody please send me the URL. Also, does anyone know what songs are gonna be on B-Sides? _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

First of all, is it going to exist? Second, who here has heard anything of substance about the album other than rumors? Third, for an upcoming album by a band of Soundgardens magnitude, don't you all think that we would hear more than rumors concerning the album? Basically, I want substantial proff that this album is being made. I'm tired of the rumor mill surrounding the B-sides project. Some input from all of you would be great, but as stated earlier, no rumors please. I want cold, hard facts on this album. Thanks.

I have no idea what songs are gonna be on it though. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I'd be willing to upload it, but I have exams coming up so maybe in a couple of weeks? It's the live version off the Reading Fest boot, encoded in 128 kbps. Sound on a scale of 10 is about a 5.5 or 6. I'll let you all know as soon as I get it up.
