In fact when I first heard it I wondered how people could find it "upbeat", it still sounds poignant to me. Then again, Fluttergirl was never one of my favorite songs. I liked everything except the word Fluttergirl. I always hoped it was just a working title, and that he would come up with something better, because I really like the rest of the lyrics.

Its a nice song, but Follow My Way really grabs you. And I kind of wonder if it wasn't written with us in mind, asking us to hang in there with him through this period of change.

Second of all I don't instanly worship Cornell MINDLESSLY, he earned my respect & if he can (which I have no doubts torward) he'll keep it. If Chris put out a single with NSYNC, would you still praise him?

H.I.V Baby Notes: SUB POP Single of the Month Club release. Limited to 5000 copies, first 1500 pressed on grape vinyl. First recordings with new bassist Ben Shepherd. Both appear to be different versions than what appears on the Born To Choose compilation and the Badmotorfinger release. "The 'H.I.V Baby' single was a special bonus Single's Club installment, it was sent out to club members in September of 1990, between I think after #23. We sent the black ones to Club members, not the weird purple ones." - SuzyD I found me a purple one (used).. :) My first coloured SG vinyl. I paid *quite* a bit more than what it says here, but it had actually been reduced from another higher figure.

How much i swear i hate the official site, but there i am every week clicking "CCTV" in disgust. but this time.... ooooo the pleasent surprises. first-- wow, justin, thank you for the review. i've heard many things so far about this album, mostly differing from one end of the spectrum to the next, everyone's got a different favorite song. but you put a great spin on it. i miss the songs of the week / month / eon. anyway. hey guys. go download cctv for this week. there is a very forward, very audible, very loud clip of "Follow Me Down" right smack in the middle of it. and wow. His voice sounds fantastic, the song sounds like a winner to me. I am truly excited to hear the rest of the song, and the rest of the album. sigh, finally a bit of relief from the thudthud of two tons of dead fluttergirls hitting the bottom of a rubbermaid garbage can. no, i will not get the mp3s of the album. shrug. call it a pet peeve. -mindriot ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 23:36:24 EDT From: Niki Freer Subject: oops. i happened to say follow my way or whatever instead of when i'm down. when i'm down is the clip on the CCTV. yum. apologies. --mindriot ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 21:47:23 -0600 From: Fluttergirl Subject: Re: CCTV strikes gold I HATE the real player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know Justin did it first, and my originality is wasted after this, but I really did want to do this before him, really! :) Anyway, you all must be wondering how I have this. I can't say, but lets just say 'Elvis' helped me out. hehe. Anyway, let's get on to the point. Chris put out a great CD, but this probably won't be commercially successful IMO. Unless Preaching's video is done by McG (who does all those flashy Sugar Ray and Smash Mouth vids) as it is defintily guaranteed heavy rotation on MTV. People expect a rock CD. Chris put out a musicians CD. People should know by now that Chris is a musician, not a rocker. His tracks on EM are sure to disapoint many people that expect Chris to have song after songs grind out heavy guitar while not really using his vocal talents. Chris goes from funk, folk, acoustic, rock (many varieties..), jazz, blues, soul and many more. So, based on the reviews I read, they want Soundgarden, not Chris. If they want Soundgarden, go buy DOTU. Chris can't do anything but make his own music without the three other gents.. Can't Change Me I reviewed this when it came out. So, I'll just say its Beatle-esque. Chris does a lot of harmonies, but is not the strongest song on the album. It is, a good song, but Chris can do better, which he shows on the rest of the tracks. *** 1/2 out of ***** Fluttergirl I'm using one word here cause that's how I know that song. I reviewed it as well, but I love the new version. They lyrics of FG don't really convey a SERIOUS thought of leaving the girl. In his mind, he's left her, so now he wants her to leave him. I think every aspect of this song kicks some ass, and shows a new side of Chris, the fun side we never really got to see in SG. **** 1/2 out of ***** Preaching The End Of The World You know those songs that they use in dramatic movies, in the trailers? The ones that show happiness and a lot of hugging? :) Well, I can so see this song in it. Very Beatle-esque as well, voice does many, many turns on it. A beautiful song, and well placed. The drumming is quite good, as Freese has a number of nice fills. It is what I call, an epic song, and this and Steel Rain share this. The ending is climatic, and reminds me a lot of Tighter and Tighter. One of my faves, that prolly won't stop. ***** out of ***** Follow My Way As close to Soundgarden as you can get. Chris screams to the backdrop of guitars and some digital doo-dah that was put in. It sounds like something like Zero Chance, with a dab of An Unkind in it. Its a good song, the lyrics are ok. He screams too much during the chorus, like he's trying to make a point, which is redundant. The "lowly, slowly" part and the instrumental before make this song listenable. Again, and again. Probably a single. **** out of ***** When I'm Down I'm a big fan of Jeff Buckley as of late. I agree with Justin wholeheartedly that this song sounds like him. But I don't want this song to be a whole, copy of Buckley song. It isn't. I always wanted to start on jazz, and was told Miles Davis was a good starting point. After hearing this song, I think I'll pick up a copy of Davis. The whole song gives a great atmosphere, one you'd expect Chris in a smokey, jazz bar. Natasha playing keyboard, Alain doing the background instrumental, and Chris, standing, singing. There's tables filled with couples, drinking cocktails, humming to this song. Chris is doing hand movements, during the middle, when he uses his voice, people get goosebumps. If people hate rock, and want to experience one of the greatest voices known to man, this song is for you. Actually, I think Chris had Susan in mind when he wrote this. As well, remember when he talked about using his voice harder and writing songs that were "too personal"? A classic example right here. ***** out of ****** Mission A song I don't really care about when I first heard it. The intro blew me off immediately. There's gonna be gripes about that stupid "laugh" as Justin said. As time went on, and I talked to 'Elvis' some more, I realized, this is very TOTDish. I wonder if Chris had this in mind when he wrote it. *** out of ***** Wave Goodbye 'Elvis' said this, and I agree, that this is very uptempo then I'd imagine. The guitar comes close with to Fluttergirl with the reverb on the guitar. And come to think about it, its faster than you'd imagine, but a tad bit slower than FG. There are times, like at 1:27 and 2:30 where the soul of Buckley is inside Chris, and his voice gets the high octave that I miss. Yes, Chris hits em high on this. It does have a bluesy atmosphere to it, as Chris is mourning softly, but the organ that Natasha plays picks it up a bit. I won't be "waving goodbye" to this song anytime soon.. ***** out of ***** Moonchild The second song I didn't care much about. Take this and Mission out and you have the greatest album I've heard yet. The chorus seems, too forced to be liked. See Mission for more. ** 1/2 out of ***** Sweet Euphoria I talk about personal experiences a lot that I can connect with songs. This is very Seasons-ish. Chris, and a guitar. He doesn't use the hard voice we all know until the end. I can't really talk about the song, as its well, you have to hear it. It's...perfect....the lyrics seem hokey, but you must hear it from him to understand. ***** out of ***** Disapeering One I've played clairinet for a few years when I was in school, and when I heard this, I was like "that's a oboe!". I'm stupid. It blends, and like Sweet Euphoria, I'm biased as I can connect to it. What it lacks is the crappy instrumental inbetween the chorus and the second verse. "Painting of Christ....nailed you down" is a great, great line. I can see Chris singing this with a smile on his face..:) And yes, Matt does a nice number on this, not a "Wishlist on Letterman" song, but not a JCP version either. Glad to have him collaborating again with CC. Too bad Kim wasn't plucked from obscurity (oh come on..you know without us he'd be nothing) ***** out of ***** Pillow of Your Bones 'Elvis' said this song and Steel Rain ended the record perfectly. I don't know, its very TOTD-ish. A very Wooden Jesus feel to it. The chorus is something that you don't expect. A soft, light duet with Natasha (who isn't credited with vocals, dammit) and a nice echoey voice that Chris is slowly loving to use. I like this song, for its chorus, not the verses itself. It could have been done better. *** 1/2 out of ***** Steel Rain Justin made a point, with Boot Camp, but you know how we generally agree that Boot Camp ended DOTU perfectly, and I believe that Like Suicide and S&B ended their respectful albums nicely, this one ends EM perfectly. A song, in my mind, for Susan. A very, very lonely song. I wish this song would be a video, as I could see Chris singing sadly again (as I did in BOTOW) but, alas, the American public don't need to be depressed this decade again. The ending of the song, indeed is weird, and could have been touched up on...but a remarkable song. It gives me shivers now, that I'm listening to it. **** out of ****** Total Score - 4.2 out of 5 (rounded up) So, I tried to give it a fair review, as I was harsh on some songs. Thanks for listening.

Secondly, this is a prime example of things not to post to the list. Take care of this between yourselves. No one on SOMMS care who's right or wrong, or who started it. Thank you, Matt P.S. So I don't sound like a hypocrite, I'll add some relevant content. The Raygun Chris article is very good. Very insightful on the album, his life, and possible reuinons "we just needed some time apart from each other."

I downloaded real player, right? The free version. I went to the official chris website, and tried to download fluttergirl, but it said the file isn't there and may be "outdated or inaccurate." Then I went there again tonight, and tried to download the CCTV thing, and it does the exact same thing. I go to other websites and I have no problem with the real player, and I even tried deleting mine and downloading it again. Can somebody please help me?
