RE: interviews and comments from Stacey in the UK Re: Soundgarden Interviews. ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Geoff Kleemola Subject: CD+ playability Happy New Year one and all. I finally got a CD-ROM drive of my own for christmas. It's a long story, so I'll simplify it. I got a Creative Quad-speed "MPC2" CD-ROM drive. I had tried it in the store and it played the SG CD+, so I bought the drive. I get home, and after a series of trips back and forth to the store and eventual-motherboard-replacement, I get the drive and software installed. 486dx2-66 12megs. It DOESN'T play the DISC!! I tried all that Corel bullshit too. It told me in a rather ambiguous way that my drive could not play CD+ discs. I went back to the store, and copied the driver from the system on which I had played it and brought it home and it works fine. So, the moral of the story is, if it does not play on your drive, do not give up. I am going to post drivers that work on my website as soon as I can. See you all later... >>>-------------------------------> Geoff Kleemola gkleemol@io.uwinnipeg.ca U of Winnipeg Psychology student http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~gkleemol <-------------------------------<<< ------------------------------ From: Tony Dawe Subject: Re: Soundgarden Survey On 7 Jan 1996 rc@gcc.cc.md.us wrote: > Well, you could say he writes the best damn songs this side of the sun, > well if he writes the best songs this side of the sun, what about the other side of the sun? the foo fighters? \|/ \\// \|/ \|/ \\// \|/ \|/ \\// \|/ \\ (0o) // \\ (o0) // \\ (0o) // ***************************************************************************** Tony Dawe gbf2033@infonet.st-johns.nf.ca smashingpumpkinsgarbagesoundgardensilverchairholeliveourladypeacepearljam moistageofelectricmatthewsweetjimihendrixmarilynmansonradioheadtragicalyhip stonerosesweezertripingdasiesevercleartheoffspringfoofightersteaparty ------------------------------ From: "920460- JUSTINE J. EVANS" Subject: Soundgarden Hi I'm new. I must sound like a total retard but what are the bands that people on this list like other than the obvious Soundgarden. Does anyone else think that Andy Wood was a god? Does anyone else think Jason Everman was never really a musician but thought it was cool to learn how to twang a little guitar music? Who else misses Hiro from the lineup? Has anyone heard of the Gandharvas, what does their name mean? Does anyone else like Mudhoney or Green River? How can I get a hold of SOMMS? Okay, that's me Starla ------------------------------ From: Baldrick2@aol.com Subject: Susan Silvers THIS IS FOR EVERYONE who has been E-mailing me & asking for info on SG (and particularly Susan Silvers). ALL info I had on SG came directly from the Rolling Stone and Spin interviews. I don't have a scanner & don't have time to post every word that CC had to say on: "meanings of lyrics", "his relationship with Susan", "his childhood", "his school record", "his agoraphobia" etc. etc. etc. I got 7 letters asking me for the meaning of "Fell On Black Days" alone...come on! And I"M not the one who said Chris once had agoraphobia, HE DID! I think I've posted at least ten times on how you can get these back-issues. Doesn't anyone else out there buy magazines? BY THE WAY, the January 1996 issue of RIP has a great article (with photos) on Susan Silvers.

Well, kinda, but wouldn't it be kinda awkward to have two bassists? But if anyone could pull it off, sg would be the band to do it. > How can I get a hold of SOMMS? Go to MIT and find this guy named Seth Perlman. Find out what room he's in and there should be a copy in there. -j aka Philip Fetters, "He Who Walks Between" aka The Equalist aka Chicka Jackeen, A Livein Thesu (Per Unkn Own).

It's got tons of reverb and distortion and feedback. I never really noticed it before, but the other night I was seriously tripping myself out with it. I must have played it 20 times in a row. >>>-------------------------------> Geoff Kleemola gkleemol@io.uwinnipeg.ca U of Winnipeg Psychology student http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~gkleemol <-------------------------------<<< ------------------------------ From: scsmeyri@ucsalf.ac.uk (stacy.meyrick) Subject: Soundgarden Interviews. >I have a topic for discussion.

What's anyone else's >thoughts on this phenomena? Anyone else notice it? To be quite honest, I couldn't care less how an interview perceives a band. If the music is there, and with Soundgarden it certainly is, what has to be said about it is irrelevant. I think interviews are too pretentious anyway, rather than focus on the music, it takes the individuals and turns them into "idolised" characters. And I'm sure Chris Cornell wasn't so "idolised" before his fame. I think all media, whatever nationality you fancy, works in the same way. "Obviously the guy is British b/c the book is dry and boring.". That's somewhat hypocritical Deb, because you've just read my text. If it was dry and boring, you wouldn't have got this far. ------------------------------ From: "Mercyhurst Prep Library" Subject: RE: interviews and comments from Stacey in the UK Thank you for your view, Stacey. I've read my sahre of Sg interviews, and most do say how dour oruncooperative the band is, which is a total shame. They're human, and I think what happens is an interviewer rubs them the wrong way so they clam up. They dislike the attention, etc., anyway. To tell you a little story, back in June 94 we were granted passes by Silver Management, for a show we were going to. "Luckily" for us, she had sent the band the first issue of our zine and they liked it and the tour manager also called to confirm passes and tell us they liked it. We were more nerved up about meeting them than we've ever been about anyone else we've ever met, and mainly b/c of the "bad rep" we garnered from the press. Fitting right in w/ that rep was the fact that DC told us before the show that any after show stuff was entirely up tot he band, he could not gaurantee we'd even see them. To our surprise and relief, we not only met them, but DC let us stay with them as long as we liked and the band was probably among the most approachable and friendliset we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Were was the dourness the press promulgates? I don't know! Kim barely shut up the entire time, and he's supposedly so taciturn. No matter what your opinion of interviews is--you really don't like to read what they have to say, what they think, etc?--IMHO, they've been dealt a raw deal. The author of the book in question did not go to the band for any info; he used only pre-existing interviews, etc, which is rather boring if you've read the other sources already. I was disappointed w/ the book, thinking it was something new for Sg fans, and it's really not. Sorry if my comments were hypocritical--I didn't mean them to be taken that way. I am wondering, tho, what others think of Sg's image in the press, Brit and otherwise! /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Mercyhurst Preparatory School Keeping you connected in 1995! /\/\/\/\/\(C)1995TMK/\/\/\/\/\/\ ------------------------------ From: ktdempsey@CSUPomona.Edu Subject: Re: Soundgarden Interviews.
