I really think we should have 'somms@mit.edu' on the shirt. How mysterious is it to have just SOMMS on there? Any real fan is just going to think some guy has made a cheap rip-off t-shirt of the e.p somms, and any non-fan isn't going to care enough to ask. If we have the full address on there people are going to want to know what it's all about. That to me has more mystery. After all it is supposed to be the mailing list t-shirt, shouldn't we have something that defines it as such? ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: of more than I can take...

It seems lots of us have plenty of cool shows on tape and it would be good to get together some sort of a framework for seeing what's out there and knowing who you can trade it off.

It should be very simple to set up. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: Nadia Macias Ch Subject: Re:hmmm....

Ok... I know this really isn't worth posting, but for some odd reason I feel like protecting my already questionable reputation on the list. For the record... the previous statement attributed to me was a post that I found on the Soundgarden newsgroup. It wasn't even from an AOL subscriber. I don't know how many of you kiddies subscribe to the SG newsgroup, but it can be pretty entertaining. Although not quite as much so and the NIN newsgroup, or the Pearl Jam newsgroup. It seems alot of people think that Eddie Vedder was on coke when he attended the Grammy's recently. I don't know why I'm telling all of you this. Anyway... I'm going to go back to bed, as I am officially on spring break, and have absolutely no use for consciousness at the moment. In fact... I'm probably not even coherent right now. Oh well... Shroom PS... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANA!!!!! I'd sing, but I don't think that torturing you would be very nice.

And what a great job you did. Well done gentlemen. Jamie ------------------------------ From: Geoff Subject: Re: The real Matt So what info do you have that suggests that it isn't from Matt? There's nothing in the message that suggests that it isn't from him. Nothing you mentioned, deb, contradicts what "Matt" said. Just because Chris and Matt are in LA mastering the album does not mean he did not send a message. You know of course that you can send email from anywhere in the world. The message did not even mention Seattle. If anything, Matt might be more likely to be browsing the web in LA; since it is not his home, he would be more likely to be bored. Anyway, I am going to reserve judgement until there is more info. Many of us would like to believe that the band is watching and approving, and the rest are afraid of being a fool. The message is highly ambiguous. Of course anyone can claim he is Matt, but so far we have no proof that he is NOT, (ie. errors, flaws, fallacies) unless someone has some other info.

I am a Spanish Soundgarden Fan and I have some questions: I read on a musical magazine that the band made new songs for the Superunknown album and I wonder what happened with the rest of the songs that they didn't use for BMF. I mean, maybe these songs are as good as those which were included on the BMF album. Are these songs lost or have they appeared as b-sides or something? I know that the band wanted to do new things, and they didn't want Superunknown to be the BMF second part, but it would be interesting to have all these lost songs on a compilation album, like Smashing Pumpkins did on Pisces Iscariot. Secondly, I'd like to know which are the effect pedals that Kim Thayil uses on songs like Outshined and the BMF in general. What do you think about the differences between BMF and Superunknown? I think that the songs they are doing lately are a bit more "commercial" that those great songs on the BMF. Of course, the new songs are excellent too and I love them but nowadays it would be imposible to hear a song like Jesus Christ Pose on the new album. Anyway, forget that, God save Soundgarden! P.D.: I've heard a song of the new album called "Burden in my hand"; it's GREAT!!! ------------------------------ From: "Mercyhurst Prep Library" Subject: SNL and Sg Wow, is is a Monday or what???

I'd sure like to see him up close, but the only thing I'd get out of meeting him is just being able to say I met him. What is there to say that he hasn't already heard? Damn, I'm getting pessimistic. If I were a guy on this list, I could probably do without all of the chris fantasies. Damn, I'm a female and I could do without them. I can never get a guy to admit to having fantasies about him, but I'm quite sure it happens. So I'm just going to say one thing and then I'll shut up (tee hee).

Is sell out equal to appearing at SNL? If so, why? I mean it's a great show(sometimes) and I dont think Sone Temple Pilots was selling out when appearing at the show. It depends on how they act, and playing some songs on TV is not to sell out. I would have loved Soundgarden at SNL.

Nothingman -And I wish I lived in Seattle so I could talk to Matt. ------------------------------ From: Geoff Subject: Re: SNL and Sg I was under the impression that the term 'selling out' referred to changing one's sound for money. ie. Large record companies saying "We'll give you so much money if you make an album like we say". In other words, compromising artistic integrity just to make money. I think anybody who knows anything about Soundgarden, knows that they will never do that. In many interviews, the band states that they always wanted to make money making music THEY enjoyed, and that was what they were doing. Making a public appearance does not constitute selling out, unless you change your lyrics or compromise in any other way. I can't think of any songs Soundgarden have done which compromised anything. All the hair frarmers sang all these sexual innuendo-filled songs in the 80's, and SG came out and said "I'm gonna fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, you...". The song was basically pointing at them and laughing, but still - no compromise. Soundgarden has maintained from the beginning that they would never compromise, and maintain to this day that they will never compromise.

What I mean to say is, I just cant see Soundgarden on SNL.. oh well :> and I do think that that dude who wrote that letter to Seth IN ALL CAPS really was Matt, cause a fan who would have that information would be a pretty big fan, and I doubt they'd go around impersonating Matt :> I can't see that either :> Besides, Matt can bring a laptop to LA with him, in fact he probably did, I mean there's no law that says MATT CAMERON IS FORBIDDEN TO BRING A LAPTOP COMPUTER TO LOS ANGELES WITH HIM. heehe :> well im gonna shut up now.. bubye foreshocks ------------------------------ From: Carolyn Subject: Re: can we just get it settled?

What's good for the goose should also be good for the gander. - or should that be the other way around? :-) As for a female reaction, here's mine: Firstly, I don't particularly mind some sexist comments. Hey, I'm female, and I like to be paid a compliment! :-) And secondly, I like admiring men's looks. There would be nothing worse than to not have any guys to perve on! BUT I would just like to let you know that while Shroom might have lots of support from some females on this mailing list (she mentioned that there are lots of other Chris perverts who have emailed her), that not ALL of us are so obsessed. Isn't such obsessive talk the kind of stuff we giggled about when going through puberty?

The nail that held the picture threw the wall was through the characters forehead. I said "It's Kim Thayil!" as soon as i saw the picture.

Well... at the risk of further ridicule and flames from some of you people... I'm going to post something else I found on a newsgroup. The NIN newsgroup, to be exact. ATTENTION ALL AOL-HATERS: THIS DID NOT COME FROM AOL. IT CAME FROM THE NIN NEWSGROUP. Sorry, 'bout that, but it seems that there's a bunch of people out there who despise AOL. I personally don't care where people get their posts from, but I thought I'd announce that it was newsgroup related, anyway. Ok... back to the post... I guess some chic wrote in to it, and requested that someone send her Trent Reznor's e-mail address. This person wrote back, and expained to her how it would be impossible for just anyone to get Trent's e-mail address. But the person was so kind as to list two different ways to go about getting Trent's address. I suppose this would work for Soundgarden, just as well. Not, of course, that I'm suggesting it. But the post was funny as hell.

Ummm... just thought I'd share that with y'all. You're welcome. BTW... how many Matt impersonators do we have e-mailing the list currently? I know it's a long shot, but I wouldn't be a damned bit surprised if the real Matt is e-mailing us. In fact, I'd say it was about time someone from the band acknowledged our presence(s), and Seth's excellent web page. Although that first "Matt" letter was kind of simplistic. I'd like to think that the real Matt would be a little more articulate than that. Well, it's something to think about.

He stands alone as one who's known, The fame that lies in wait. His band Plays on with heart, The drummer drums with speed. His world is torn apart, By fame, fortune and greed. His fans all chant the tunes, That go down in history. They surf the pit like wild baboons, They shout with love and glee. His identity erased, By the need to rebel. To ever change to stay the same, His name is Chris Cornell.
