(i think it's high time i 86 this joke.) did anyone realize that the platters song "on broadway" and superunknown have very similar progressions? i don't know if this relates to anything, if anything. ------------------------------ From: DKAASC@tevm2.nsc.com Subject: Banjo FROM: Kazam Ali Personal Computer/Network Specialist Computer and Network Support SUBJECT: Banjo Nothingman wrote: >That would be a saxophone.

I can't speak for all soundcards, but generally speaking, most soundcards (especially Soundblaster cards) for computers have a line input on the back of them into which you can plug a stereo lead in, or a microphone socket into which you can place a mono lead. These sockets tend to be 1/8" ie. usual Walkman size sockets, so you might also need an adaptor as well as a lead. A typical setup might be a simple cassette recorder with stereo 1/8" lead hooked straight into lead-in socket... Then it's a simple matter of recording. If you're on a PC there's tonnes of programs on the 'net which will record from the input of your soundcard, then you can fiddle with it, cut, paste, amplify, add reverb etc.etc. Spool cassette through to correct spot, set software up, hit record on computer and tape deck. .wav files are those usually recorded through Windows, or at least a PC. .au files I think are associated with Silicon Graphics machines. Generally, either will be snapped up by the listening public, as there are utilities to play either type...

From: seth I was looking at the list of things I said I was going to complete in January for the unofficial SG page and now that it's April, most of those things are done. The only things I haven't done yet are make video clips and implement a chat room. I don't intend to do the chat room, because I seriously doubt it would get used much, and if people want to talk Soundgarden they can join this list. I *will* do video clips, that I promise. Does anyone have any ideas for cool things they would like to see added to the page? The FAQ is in the works, and though it was thought up a long, long time ago, it looks like it's going to be done soon, thanks to some brilliant friends. I was also considering adding a guestbook, so maybe I'll do that this weekend. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the page belongs to all of us, so if you have ideas, tell me! seth ------------------------------ Subject: the shirt From: seth I just made a high-resolution version of the fork image (I admit it, the fork image was mine) available to Nothingman so he can take it to the shirt place for production.

So your friend shouldn't be offended, but he/she probably will. The song is from Chris' perspective looking at all the entertainers who use the 'Jesus Christ Pose' in videos etc. If you read/listen to the lyrics it makes perfect sense: And you stare at me In your Jesus Christ Pose Arms held out Like you've been carrying a load And you swear to me You don't want to be my slave But you're staring at me Like I need to be saved In your Jesus Christ Pose Arms held out In your Jesus Christ Pose Thorns and shroud Like it's the coming of the Lord And I swear to you That I would never feed you pain But you're staring at me Like I'm driving the nails In your Jesus Christ Pose And you stare at me In your Jesus Christ Pose Arms held out like it's The coming of the Lord And would it pay you more to walk on water Than to wear a crown of thorns It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich Than to bury you poor In your Jesus Christ Pose Seth's website has an audio in the multimedia section in which the band, mainly Chris, explain the song.onefellswoop On Fri, 5 Apr 1996, Vasant Ramamurthy wrote: > Does anybody know the significance of "Jesus Christ Pose"?

(Eric, THANK YOU! it sounds great). Anyway I know you've been pining for a decent review of it, I've listened to the song six or seven times so far, and I want to write a good one (I've been thinking about this for an hour). Unfortunately I don't have the lyrics figured out yet :( I'm gonna try to do my best to do that tonight, but I suck at lyrics :( But here's the best review I can do, under the circumstances. It starts with this slow, jangly guitar riff... just Matt on the cymbal, a bass note, and the guitar riff, which sounds like it's being played with a bit of wah.. It reminds me of Alice In Chains' "What The Hell Have I". There is some other guitar playing some notes underneath this. Then the band kicks in. Chris is singing this kinda high. The song is kinda heavy, not like Slaves And Bulldozers heavy but The Day I Tried To Live kinda heavy. It sounds like Matt is playing quite a bit on the toms. There's also a guitar solo in it, and the background vocals in the chorus is Chris's voice, I think. It's not a very fast song, but it's not slow, either. The best I can do is say in tempo, it falls somewhere between Spoonman and Black Hole Sun. I'll try to figure it out with Mr. Champagne's metronome on Tuesday. Certain parts of the song.. the rhythm the guitar is playing reminds me of (call me crazy) Nirvana's "In Bloom". Of course, you all are probably gonna hear this and shoot me or something :> The chorus is "And I don't like what you got me hanging from" repeated three times. I'm trying to figure out the background part, the singing part anyway.. oh, he's singing "hanging from" in the background. Well, you all know that I'm a complete idiot, and the fact that I've been hanging around Mr. Champagne and sniffing paint fumes since 10 this morning doesn't help :> I'm gonna go try to figure out those lyrics now. foreshocks ------------------------------ From: foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com Subject: Bear with me part 2 Ok, this is what I have so far.

The line that I interpreted as "pick it up and get this mother gone", well, I think that's a result of paint fumes. :> also I think I got the second line right. Not very good, I know :(, but Chris is singing this a lil higher than I thought, also I really suck at this.

I thought it was excellent thus I kept listening. Then I thought, "wow, this really sounds so much like sg" but I didn't think it was because it was a song I had never heard. DJ never said who it was (idiot). I ran inside my casa and called the station - low and behold it was Pretty noose...I asked him if he was going to play any other new stuff from the new album and he asked what was it I had to hear....(would he actually have a copy of the new album already?) I asked him to play me anything and I would be a happy camper :) (which actually is an underestimation) He basically told me to keep listening tonight and wishes are on their way....So I plan on sitting here like a dork, playing darts, drinking lots of beer and waiting.....(of coarse recording!) Well, I just wanted to share my happiness..sorry for the rambling.

Anyway, I haven't had a chanceto listen to it a whole lot, but I will, and I will post a LOT about it. I remember the "I don't like what you've got me hanging from" part. But I will try to get some lyrics also, and I will write my own review.

It's one Missing's also available on (boot cd) 'Supermainstream' which I've seen only once in stores (Bill's Records & Tapes in Dallas... but he's awfully expensive) & 'Cliff Poncier' (sp?) available on a booted 7" (I think) which I've only read about. >of the refrains.

He did all of these around the time Singles was being cast (my guess) but I'm sure everyone already has figured all this out... Does anyone else admire Cornell's ability to rock on the coffee cans? (c: (That's what it sounds like he's playing on the Spoonman from Singles.) Ah... today at work (record store) I was playing Badmotorfinger & some moron said & I freakin quote, "my mama is better than Soundgarden." I sorta giggled & asked to purchase any material she had recorded because I sure as Hell love hearing music better than Soundgarden (just really do these days.) He said she didn't ever make a record so I frowned & asked if she'd do an instore... (c; How many days until DOtU is released? 46 I think... Pretty Noose hits radio in just a few weeks and the single'll be in stores shortly thereafter. I'm, dare I say, giddy... ray - -'I woke the same as any other day except a voice was in my head.
