Now I can understand why Chris' management/record label would not want fans with advance copies of the single or album to copy them and pass them round. What with mp3s and cheap CD recorders, it would be so easy for someone unscrupulous to start pirating the album and making money off it (I'm *not* suggesting that anyone here would). But you would think after the long wait - made more unbearable by the various release dates they've thrown at us (remember October 1998?) that came to nothing - they would be damn pleased that US radio stations are so eager to pick up on the single and play it a month in advance. Oh well, back to Ricky Martin....

The new schedule went up yesterday. Chris is not on it. I know it's not out of the realm of possibility that he might go onstage with someone else and do a song or something, but even then you might have a very tough time seeing that since there are numerous bands going all at once over 4 full days and nights. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 05:09:33 EDT From: Mike Liacone Subject: Pure sarcasm i can feel an "original thread forming soon, something along the lines of "what kind of soundgarden tattoos does everyone have?" or "i think all of the soundgarden catalog is about andy wood and heroin" please forgive me for this most useless post, i just had the urge. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Jul 1999 00:02:03 +1000 From: Mansel Ismay Subject: Weird funky shit. Hey here's a topic if anyone's interested, what the weirdest experience = you've had involving SG or indirectly involving SG. I'm talking dreams = and shit here. D=E9j=E0 vu, or whatever. I was once had this weird dream, that I went to an SG show, and it was = like, the whole arena was pieced off into thirds, with the middle third = being the best and the other two just being of average value. I was in = the low value sites. The opening band was You Am I, that seriously went = off. Then when SG came on this huge thing came over so that only the = middle third could see them and the outlying thirds could barely see = Matt's Hi-Hat. But then I was invited by Chris up to the microphone (I = don't know why) and Chris said "Fuck this Seattle shit (Sorry bout the = blasphemy =3D/) " and we started doing beatles covers. Wow that was = weird. Another recent weird event, I swear to god, Matt Cameron in one of my = few posters jumped out at me, and we started talking and he invited me = to his place (In the poster) and we spoke to Dave Grohl. I was stoned at the time. =3DP -Mansel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 10:19:36 -0400 From: johnny utah Subject: Okay, so I was just rubbing it in about the graves thing, it's nice that people know the article I referred to. But although Chris may have been joking, he certainly would love to shed this 'perfect guy' image which some of you guys taint him with, he is just a regular guy. On a different point. QOTSA are the band formed by Joshua Homme after the fantastic Kyuss split. When he came back after playing a tour with the Screaming Trees, he wanted to tour with some of his new demos. Before the band became Nik Oliveri, Alfrdo Hernandez, and Dave Carching as it is now, John McBain, and Matt Cameron obliged to play the first shows with Josh due to the Desert Sessions link. So, that is how Matt got to play with Josh and the Queens. BTW, if you get a chance to see the Queens, do it, they rock.

Newbies don't have to be a problem or an annoyance. i would even propose a two week period in which a new member does not post, just so that they get used to the information that circulates. hell, maybe they'd even learn some new amazing things about Soundgarden that way. flame away... --Mike-- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1999 20:13:06 -0400 From: "J.C."

Okay then, flames ahoy! The only thing that annoys me on this list is oldbies(sic) who persistantly post crap like this complaining about new people. If you spend two weeks getting used to the information that circulates on this list you'd get the impression that as long as you patronise more than five people with your post, you're set. And for gods sake don't share your thoughts on Soundgarden, that is *not* what we want to hear on a Soundgarden mailing list! I don't know where you lot get the idea that because you've been on the internet for longer and/or know more anally retentive trivia about SG that you are somehow *better* than everyone else. We're not impressed. Jeez, get a life already. There's my contribution to the "pointless messages that no one wants to waste valuable reading time on." Hopefully I adhered to all the posting rules I picked up after my two week innitiation. Jay. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I mean, its like cabin fever, a bunch of 15-30 year olds stuck in a cottage with nothing to do, with every single topic of Soundgarden expired, we now talk about each other. Which is...getting cool. :) For me, cause its funny seeing how stupid each post can get. But enough of my ramblings. What my real purpose for here is to ask a question, and start a thread. I was on 5H as of late, and I noticed that Ed did a Who tribute concert (very cool Ed, props to you). But I mean, wasn't PJ supposed to be in studio right now? Well, I guess they aren't seeing how Stone is also in New Mexico producing an album (I could be wrong on the name...oh well). But, what the hell is Matt doing? Is he writing material for Wellwater, spending time with A & R, vacationing in the South Pacific (as he should, by golly, the man deserves it!), or jamming with Chris, Kim and Ben on a super secret project (I wish.). So, what's he doing? And what do you all think he'll be up to later? Wellwater tour? I personally can't wait for the next batch of stuff he'll come out with.
