Do you think you could still be a SG fan? This made me think of Mr. Holland's Opus (which, a bit of trivia here, has one of Ben's sisters in it as an extra in the last scene. See if you can spot her.) It also made me think of the times I have enjoyed the physical sensation of the vibrations as part of the SG experience. I recall being just a bit high one day, cranking up BMF and spending all of JCP with my hands on the wall near the speaker, feeling the bass and drums in the wall radiating all the way up my arms (my neighbors must love me), and another day cranking up DOTU and lying on my back on the floor for BIMH feeling the bass throughout my whole body. Bliss. And have you ever put your hand in front of the speaker and felt the puffs of air coming out? I won't get into the visual pleasures of watching SG videos or looking at pictures (we all know about that), but a deaf person could still have the pleasure of reading the articles and interviews, which still bring me much pleasure and laughter. So, yes, I would still definitely be a SG fan. Why not? Beyond sensate pleasures they have influenced my life and my thinking. Those things don't leave you.

That kind of reminds me of seeing SG in concert-- as SG took the stage with all the noise and commotion of them coming out of the darkness and all it was totally evident how *loud* it all was. Ben's bass vibrated the whole hall.. it was totally enthralling to think that SG's music was physically moving me and everyone in the arena. A whole new level to SG, and a whole new little thread that turned out to do some good.. :) -Arden Jen wrote: <> _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

This weekend all used CDs will be $4.97. No fair taking any rare soundgarden before I get there tomorrow at 2. I know we've discussed Soundgarden / Pink Floyd connections before, but I was reading an online chat w/ Chris and Matt the other day and they were talking up that influence. I hear PF in several songs (BHS, BUTOW) and in some of those soaring guitar solos (like that incredible bend at approx. 5:38 in Like Suicide). Where else do people hear the PF influence? If you can't tell, Floyd is one of my favorite other bands. (and, though it makes me cringe I'll include a directive with this: please don't let this become a specifically PF topic. If you've got something pertaining only to Floyd, feel free to email me individually to avoid an incredibly irritating slew of backs and forths on list.) Actually, other favorite bands of mine brings to mind what whatshisname Guerinot (Chris's new manager) said about the sound of Chris's new album. He mentioned that it sounded like radiohead which actually gives me hope about the album. I'm hoping he didn't just grab a bunch of popular bands' names and toss them out there in the hope of generating interest. Ono of the trademarks of radiohead's music is its intricate layering. We have heard that SG could layer (as could Chris individually, as heard on seasons, Like Suicide acoustic) I can't wait to see what this could mean on the new album. Though I've gotta say I'm not too excited about Eleven's participation on the album. I'm sure they're fine people and I have actually never listened to Eleven's music, but I didn't really dig their influence on Ave Maria and (which was the other one, I forget.). Fingers crossed. Also, a request or suggestion, of sorts: when replying to a post, could you *please* quote only the relevant portions rather than the entire message. I'm gettin' tired of scrolling through 30 lines of repeated text. Also, I don't know what kind of mailers they are, but maybe you guys with the fancy html code in there could turn that off for the list. I think enough people still just have ascii mailers that it would save some space and time. Ben Timberlake No, btimlake@aol.com probably not. btimlake@nwu.edu Sorry.

Hey all I would say the influx of newbies is pissing me off, but it's more like annoying posts are pissing me off, regardlesss of how new the posters are to the list. It would be great if things were a little happier on somms... aFter reading >the postings from other folks on the list, it would seem that those who >feel >as extremely as you do are in the minority. This list is a Soundgarden list. Perhaps there are many people who would be more than happy to go off on another tangent with you, but it's not how it's done. It works better, and it IS better when we try and stick to SG related stuff. What if there were 10 or so people on SOMMS who loved soundgarden (i refuse to type it in separated all caps.. what are we trying to do with that?!) just as much as they loved bonsai planting. They assume that the two go together - just because they feel the same way about them - hence they refuse to stop talking about bonsai plants. Do you think the list would then be interesting to people who are just after SG info?? This example might be extreme, but it's the same as Days of the New. From the posts we've seen, it's obvious there are SG fans who adore the band (Days of..), and just as equal SG fans who hate them. The fact that the singer might look/sound/smell like Chris doesn't make it SG-related. There are however other bands that ARE related to soundgarden.. bands that former SG members are in for example. Nobody here is proposing turning >this mailing list into one of general music discussion, but let's be >honest-- how many of us listen to >S O U N D G A R D E N to the exclusion of all other recorded music? My >guess: not one. Maybe not, but that doesn't mean we should all throw tidbits of our other musical tastes into SOMMS. My guess is that this is the only list you're on? If you have an unignorable desire to write about one other band, don't hesitate to join a list for that band too.. it will make everyone happy! >While it's true that this IS a forum FOR S O U N D G A R D E N >enthusiasts, the assertion that all postings should be DIRECTLY related to > S O U N D G A R D E N is unfair and difficult to enforce. Unfair? You join a SG list and you're unprepared to write about SG?? I think it's YOU who is being unfair.. It is only "difficult to enforce" when people like you kick up a stink about it. It is quite easy to enforce in my opinion. >Bottom line: givn that this IS a forum about music, if a drastically >specialized one, all subject matter to that end interrelates in some way; >you can't avoid it. it's not a forum about "music". it's about "soundgarden" i tell ya! Drastically specialised?? good lord.. Can you just understand that this is a SOUNNNNNNNDGGAAAAARRRRRRRDEEEEEENNNN list and no one else is quite as bitter and tantruming about it as you are. Sure, there is interrelation, but who is to say that every band (even outside of Seattle) is 'related' to SG? i'm sure you could come up with a lame example. "her dog's name is fluffy, chris's hair looks like fluffy", but do you really want to stoop so low in an effort to bring your favourite hip hop band into conversation? Seth can, should, and (presumably) will police the >ranks. It's not our job to do so. What are you talking about here? Seth does police the ranks, but i guess over the time i've been on the list i have noticed that most people fully understand how the list works and help out with enforcement. I don't think Seth minds cos other list members probably say exactly what he would anyway, but who am i to say, really.. It's only "our" job when it gets out of hand. >And if all of the above logic fails, just >lighten up!! It's really not that big a deal. Personally i think it's you who should lighten up.. You subscribed to a list that has been established and running fairly smoothly in the same way for approximately four years and you want things to change? Fat chance..

Bonsai tree planting and manicuring has nothing to do with music (that's a common sense issue). Days of the New has something to do with music, and the relation doesn't stop there.
