Duh the one they banned way back when for "explicit content," it would be quite ironic, since they play stuff thats much worse....so I say Jesus Christ Pose. -Nick aka Spackle >> I agree.

However, it would be difficult to pull off and even if we did get the votes, I'm not positive MTV would play the video. I'm not joking. They might think it was an error or would just decide to ignore it. Just a thought.

She is a looooooooong time Somms member. Whenever she and Chris have their "lunch" I'm sure Vikki will let us know. She has always been one to share her experiences and stories with us quite eloquently. And for all you green-eyed monsters who want to accuse others of lying. You are behaving like quite an ass! Be happy for someone's good fortune...the good fortune may smile back at you! I'm old I can say these profound things!! toni Watch out for spies!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 17:27:06 +0100 From: Deborah Baker Subject: A&M to sue Universal (very loose connection to Soundgarden :-) Sorry, this is a bit off topic, but I came across this news item, which might interest some of you. Deb HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, the "A" and "M" in A&M Records, are expected to file a $20 million breach of contract suit against Seagram and its Universal Music Group, claiming that the label has been destroyed in the months following Seagram's acquisition of PolyGram. Alpert and Moss founded A&M Records in 1962 and sold it to PolyGram for $500 million in 1989. A highly unusual provision in their sale agreement mandated that the integrity of the label be maintained for 20 years. But as a result of the $10.4 billion acquisition of PolyGram by Seagram's Universal Music Group last year, A&M has been folded into Interscope Records, and most of the artists are being jettisoned from the label's roster.... ....Alpert and Moss would like to see A&M Records restored and stand again not merely as an imprint but as a symbol of an artist-friendly outpost.

I would be totally for it if I thought it may be worth my time but it ISNT..... so save yourself the trouble and write to VH1 rock show or 120 minutes or something...... youll get much more success..... ~*Sloanie*~ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 17:39:51 EDT From: Kyle Daly Subject: video >apparently the name of the show should be "Total >Request if it just so happens to be a new and "hip" videos that the kiddies >will like, Live" instead...

I mean,=20 even if it doesn't work out, it's not like it would be hard or take that muc= h=20 out of our time to vote for a video. About voting for JCP, it's not entirel= y=20 likely that we'll get a video, so I don't think it would be wise to vote for=20 a video that was banned from MTV. If something's banned, they probably won'= t=20 make an exception and let it back on the air just because newer videos are=20 more risqu=E9. Flower or another rare video would probably be a bad idea to= o=20 since MTV wouldn't want to go through the trouble of digging it up from=20 whatever archive it's hidden in. I say the best bet would be any somewhat=20 common, unbanned video that isn't Black Hole Sun, since that's the song=20 everyone's heard and the video everyone's seen (notice it's always on=20 people's top 10, 50, or whatever lists, no matter what kind of music they=20 play--like when N'Sync had that favorite video list thing). I think the lis= t=20 we could choose from is Outshined, Rusty Cage, Spoonman, My Wave, The Day I=20 Tried To Live, Fell On Black Days, Pretty Noose, Burden In My Hand, or Blow=20 Up The Outside World. Any video I didn't list is either too uncommon,=20 banned, or, in the case of Black Hole Sun, too common. =09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09-Kyle ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 15:02:47 -0700 From: alexandre nanoglou Subject: frangais Salut Y-a t'il des francais(e) sur ce mailing list ecrivez moi !!

To hell with that! I say, scare them into better music! :). That's how I got into Soundgarden anyway....well, actually, I was repulsed by most of the songs on Superunknown when I first listened to it. Maybe we'll get some new fans by this voting stunt? If we're really going to do this, pick a date, and give the link of the voting page to the list. I doubt we'll even come close to 25 votes, but at least we tried. My vote goes for Pretty Noose, not-the-one-where-the-band-is-playing version, since I've never seen the whole thing. /\ /\ 'o' -The Cat- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Ask The Cat page: http://come.to/askthecat -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

This Monday, the popular internet game, Hollywood Stock Exchange will re-open to include the Music Market. I played this game for a long, long time (and am damn good), and this is just making me want to play more. How the HSX works is that certain movies and actors are valued at a certain amount of dough. For more info on financing, just go there. But for this music market, I'm sure Chris Cornell's album will be up there to bid on. All in all, good healthy fun, and be sure to check it out: http://www.hsx.com Its down now, but it will be back up soon. Dave P.S. My user name is CCornell, so if you want to check up on me, go for it...I'm around 12000 (out of 250k+) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 24 Jun 1999 to 25 Jun 1999 ************************************************
