With a different title. RK>We just had a seminar sort of discussing those issues. Oh, RK>headfuck. But sometimes a cool title helps a song. If Smells Like Teen Spirit were called Fuck Off You Stupid Bastard, then I doubt it woulda been as popular. And sometimes when I 'm looking for a new band to listen to, I look around the CD bins, and when I see some cool titles, or ones that catch my eye, I get it, and a lot of times it isn't bad. A lot of times, you can tell what kind of music it is by the titles. This helps a lot when you're sorting through the bargin bin ($.25 tapes and $.50 Cds).

I like them. Except the singer is kinda a weenie, but so does Billy Corgan, but let's not start that discussion again. I like them both. But anyway, I have Whenever You're Ready, and the cover looks a lot like a Mudhoney cover that I saw in a store once. Does anyone know why that is? Are they related in some way? I didn't know Flop was from Seattle...I'm just assuming they are since you kinda implied it.

Just like i call olive green grunge green. Hey, anyone that could make a shirt like this for me?

How are things in the great Southeast??? How are the rocks hangin?? I will add aunt vs ahunt?? or however ya'll say it!! I will think about any weird midwestern thangs we say! I work with an older lady who came from rural Arkansas and she told me when she first moved north she went to a grocery store and ask the man for a "poke" which in Arkansas is a bag. Up here a" poke" is intercourse. Of course the man gave her quite a look!! And they eventually got it straightened out. She didn't go into to many details! Hmmmm! maybe she did get a poke!!! Speaking of that t-shirt. In the movie Toy Story the bad neighbor kid wears a shirt with a skull very similair to that shirt. And he is quite a punk!! Problay like Chris was at 9!!

Anyway, looking around the CD shop I found the newly imported Truly CD. Grabed it after reading about it on here and its not bad. Look for it in Rocking Horse 1 if you are in Brisbane and want a listen. BUT the big news :) New album was listed as released May 21st, and straight after that. Touring in MAY!!!!!! So looks like SG are coming to visit us down here once more :) And usally if they come down here it means a world tour so everybody wins :) WOOOO only have to wait till May for the tour :) seeya Lee _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ SONIC E-mail ar303921@student.uq.edu.au Turn it UP and Play it LOUD!!

How can you forget slaves and bulldozers, limo wreck, and jesus christ pose. btw, has anyone counted along and figured out the time signature for limo wreck? I counted 17/8 but I could be wrong, whatever it's in it has got to be the weirdest time signature on earth. Especially the way matt plays it. They should get an award for the strangest rhythm.

I made sure that she understood that we would both want to come around and hear it in the store; and (b): that she was going to put in a request for an instore appearance with the band! now, I nor littlejoe are going to hold our collective breath for this one, but the music store does have a good track record in guest appearances (monster magnet, the tea party and others). so it looks as though soundgarden have warmed up to the prospect of starting all their world tours here in australia (can't complain there). and once they have simultaneously played and released their new stuff here, we'll send in the reviews :) ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: LITTLE JOE Subject: I sure jumped..

I can vouch for this. All I can add is that they get to Australia on May 14. Chris and Kim are staying at my place, and Ben and Matt are staying in blind dog's basement. They told us they like to stay in touch with their fan base and don't go in for those fancy hotels anyway. Besides, they need somewhere quiet in the suburbs to practice all their new songs. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: don't let me drown...

All those songs have strange time signatures, but "She's a Politician" is *impossible*. I mean, I can't even begin to imagine the time patterns in that song. Perhaps I should rephrase my statement. "She's a Politician" is the *hardest* SG song to play on drums. Now that's not to say Matt doesn't kick ass on every single song, it's just that (imho) this one's the hardest to follow. At least for me it is. Btw, good to hear from you, Clown! Ross P.S.--Most of "Limo Wreck" is in 15/8. That's what Matt said in an interview with _MDM_. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Sat, 17 Feb 1996, ClownWithBazooka wrote: > Or something not of this earth, as for the list of some of matt's best > drumming.
