Weird Huh. As a fan of a band that isn't/wasn't at the height of popularity (like Nirvana or Pearl Jam or *shudder* Backstreet Boys), I should be pleased to hear this story.. but to tell the truth, it's kind of dumb. Why did you share this? Sounds embarrassing.. something you did when you were younger that you wish you could just erase its existence (like my SOMMS posts during my newbie-era).. Which brings me to another point (sort of).. it IS good that alot of new people are out there after information on Soundgarden, but you know there are heaps of places to get the SG basics from online and you should check them out. Go to your favourite search engine and ask away! We aren't all that mean to be wary of the newbies.. I can see that the current newbies will one day be wreaking havoc (my spelling sucks) on other unsuspecting newbies.. It's just how it goes. Kind of like semi-initiation i suppose.. a testing of the waters, finding your place. But that's just my point of view. Some people are nicer than others, some people are more tolerant than others.. etc etc.. As for interpretations... I love em. Most people on the list hate them and it ends up being 5 people writing them, 2 people responding to them and 10 people saying "who cares". But by all means, let the cycle begin.. (see, as you experience the same events on the list more than two or three times, you start to be a bit cynical and weird.. or is it just me...?) Chat yall up later.. peace, love, soup, keep on truckin, yadda yadda heheheheh ;) Kogg ps. Yeah Australian TV rocks for cool videos (like JCP) since the better video shows are shown in the wee hours and are basically uncensored.. You'll find very cool stuff played at 3am.. better than what you'd find on Video Hits on a Saturday morning (kind of like rumaging through second hand bins in a tiny hidden away record store as opposed to going to HMV) At least it used to be like that.. i'm not really up to date with tv programming lately. Rage used to have 'Seattle specials' on every now and then and they included a chunk of glorious SG... ooooh aaahhhhh *going to the VCR* (oh yeah, bite me, the guy who hates the action stuff in emails.. live a little. Plain text & no emotives sucks) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 09:51:37 GMT From: -The Cat- Subject: Re: JCP on Australian TV, and I didn't even have to get a thousand SOMMster's to request it!! >From: Mansel Ismay >Reply-To: Mansel Ismay >To: SOMMS@MITVMA.MIT.EDU >Subject: [SOMMS] JCP on Australian TV, and I didn't even have >to get a thousand SOMMster's to request it!! >Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 12:57:20 +1000 > >Low and behold, it's 1:00 am in Newcastle Australia, and none other than >the video for Jesus Christ Pose is on tv!!

So if Chris could read this,I'd have sung him the "Alice Mudgarden" song: "You ain't right - You ain't right" Anyway, you may say that if I want to go to cool shows, I'd better move to Seattle. That's what I'll do some day, but who can promise me I will see a SG ever?.... ********************************************************** OSMOLOVSKI ZVIKA (KONSTANTIN) * * sosmolok@techst02.technion.ac.il * * SMELL THE JUNK- * http://jump.to/kotik * * * * MORE BEER - MORE FUN * ********************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 12:52:34 +0100 From: =?iso-8859-1?q?johnny=20utah?= Subject: I agree with Lizzy. I've been a SG fan now for about ten years, but I've only joined the list a short while ago. However, it seems that people are desperate to overdo the veteran thing and knock new people who were probably into SG before them anyway. Dates shouldn't matter and subject fascism should really be avoided. So, although it makes sense that older people on the list will be frustrated, and Jen is certainly right that the ancient SOMMS archives should be checked out, I feel that ignoring unnecessary posts would be alot easier, and then we can get on with discussing lyric interpretation, or new info, or whatever it is that makes different fans tick. _____________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I heard a SHORT clip of it. IT's...... Blow Up.../Sunshower. yep, it is. Pretty much right along those lines, drama with some bells a la Black Cat but not as hyperactive as those bells. just softer bells. anyway i dont have the computer for long and i wont be on again until Sunday so DONT barrage me with comments. That's all i heard of it, about 3 lines of the song and it sounds exactly like its written. Cheers Interscope, mindriot ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 15:16:35 PDT From: Joe Franks Subject: Re: How I got into SG I got back yesterday from a weeks vacation. I saw a message that said something like "what was the song that got you into SG?". It made me think about when I first started to like SG and I just decided to write it down at the risk of being beaten up by veteren SOMMSTERS. I've only been on the list for about 3-4 months. Sorry it was kinda pointless putting it in. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

It has BIMH, shes a politician, bleed together and a UK interview with chris on it. Anybody know how rare/valuable this is, and anybody interested in a trade? i just got down under on the upside as well (woohoo!) but thats not to trade. i wish i had just bought it when it was out. i also saw the JCP video on rage. This was on before when Manson was first on rage during his oz tour. The one last saturday was repeated. later rob ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 13:59:23 +1000 From: Nathan Hurst Subject: Hi Can somebody please tell me how i get off the mailing list.
