The Guitarist-2001 ------------------------------ From: Eric Gardner Subject: giveaway #5 No big whoop, just a videotape compilation of SG shit. Both PJStarr tapes (old HBB stuff, the GnR Pay-per-View set, videos for JCP, Outshined, Spoonman, Rusty Cage, My Wave, FoBD, Hands and Loud Love...and, oh yeah, BHS, plus misc interview and award show stuff) plus Louder than Live and the two songs from the SNL show and whatever will fit from the Berkeley 94 show. Well, they can't all be SG colored vinyl...:) Usual rules apply. Eric ------------------------------ From: rea47935@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (Rick Agrait) Subject: album rankings Well, it's been two months now since DOTU was released and im sure all of your opinions on the cd have changed since it came out. I remember the album ranking posts that appeared after the release, and I was thinking about what the album rankings would be now. Im sure most people on the list dont want to read post after post of: "my album rankings are: 1) 2)" etc etc. So I was thinking if you want to submit your album rankings just e-mail me at: rea47935@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu and tell me your rankings. I will then soon afterwards post the result, a combined album ranking made of everybody's posts, to the list. Therefore not clogging up the list with endless ranking posts. I do ask that if youre gonna send me your rankings that you at least have 4 of the CD's, otherwise it wouldnt be fair. - -Raul you know youre obsessed with soundgarden if youre willing to compile everybodys album rankings and then post statistics on it. ------------------------------ Subject: BiMH video From: jsimpson@mail03.mitre.org (Jamesetta Simpson) Visually stunning, it uses the camera as a paint brush and creates a beautiful image. Colors, lines, correct composition, it's all there. Nothing a third year art major couldn't do. For all it's prettiness, there is nothing new to it, it's all been done before. All the band members look good - so much for not wanting to look sexy. The video making business has become very cookie cutter. They may be sinking more money into them, but they are putting out the same old ideas. Rock'n'Roll should be cutting edge, one step from going to far. It should be the rebel that knows dying is part of the game, but not today. Don't get me wrong, the BiMH video is very nice, but it's just so trendy, there was absolutely nothing to get your blood moving. I want SG's music/videos to start fires in me. Wouldn't it be nice to see "Ty Cobb" done with out changing the words. Maybe have Kim down a can of Molson at the end and well it at the camera.

I'm pretty sure it was for BMF but I wasn't really paying attention.. But didn't that movie come out in 94 or 95 or something? I'm surprised they didn't use an SU poster.. Oh well... Maybe I'm reading too much into a movie that had a poster as its one redeeming characteristic...

You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when..... you wake up and Burden in my hand is in your head You insist on not wearing your new SG shirt to dinner, just because it might get dirty(even though you can wash it) You have your whole closet just filled with soundgarden shirts and jackets You have every tour shirt from every concert they ever did You start to quote lyrics to people (ex. I'm hardheaded so fuck you all; keep it off my wave.) you start to learn the guitar, just incase Kim might twist his wrist, or break a finger, so you can jump in and take his place. ok, that's all for now!

You beg the list if they know how to get the fork necklace like Chris's? you turn around and give them the WHOLE history, from 1984 to the present. your little sister knows each one of the members by first name your parents start liking them your parents know each of the songs by heart you start refering to yourself as Chrissy's mom, and kim's mom.(right rachel?) your conversation on your first date with a new guy starts out, "so, do you like soundgarden?" you post way to many obsessions that apply to you. when you ask the question i'm about to ask now.....did anyone tape the Burden video? If so, e-mail me about it. I want a copy for my soundgarden video collection(that's another obsession!) I shot my love today, would you cry for me?

C'mon, it's not TOTALLY Impossible. It would rock. >Gregg I agree 100%!!!! The only thing is I'm not sure how I'll feel about the band now that they have a new bassist. Justin Chancelor took over after Paul D'Amour left last year. Their newest, Aenima, should be out 10/1/96. As for touring together, there's already a rumor going that Primus and Tool may tour later this year.

(note: i'm working in central standard time here, since that's what i dwell in, y'know...) seth mailed out the initial "welcome to the soundgarden mailing list!" post at 9:18 a.m. on july 28, 1995. (THE BIRTH OF SOMMS!!! [sob!!! sniff!!!]) here's the cool part...the first actual posting (subject: "soundgarden! (of course!)" ) to the list came at 9:32 a.m. on the same day, and it was posted by...ME!!! that's right, grote be da man... >;-> incidentally, the next post was from ahmed osman at 9:55, followed by moon druid at 10:33...there were actually quite a few posts on the first day. i really had no idea that i was the first post...i suppose that i came into work at 9:30 and checked my e-mail right away, saw seth's message and responded promptly like a good netiquette-junkie should... anyway, what this means is that there's gonna be some changes around here, people...from now on you will address correspondence to me as "HIGH AND MIGHTY, MOST OMNISCIENT AND WISE GROTE, CREATOR OF ALL HE SURVEYS INCLUDING THE FIRST POST TO THE MOST HIGHLY REVERED OF INTERNET MAILING LISTS, SOMMS@MIT.EDU." just kidding... :) seriously, congrats to seth and each and every list member on making this list, web page, and the entire community that we have going here what it is today. as a lister who has been lingering since the beginning, i can honestly say that everything about our whole little family just keeps getting better...the list members are great, contributions to our ever-growing sg network are informative and humorous at the same time, and seth has proven to be one of the finest listadmin's and web page gurus in the free world... it's good to be a somm-ite... :) later... (this also reminds me that i haven't changed my sig file since i joined the list...i've had that damn thing since january of 1995, so luckily it fit nicely with my eventual entry into somms-land and i haven't had to change it. oh well...since that quote stands as my fave cornell-ism ever, i ain't changin' it 'til the neighbors complain...) >;-> - -- ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

The A&M rep came in a few minutes later and so I asked him, and he said that he hasn't heard of it either. So he looked in his book, and there was nothing to be found. So, now I'm confused, because someone mentioned a promo sheet for it. Hmmm. Well, I just thought I would share with the group what I've found. Remember to boycott Molson, folks.

The artwork is superb, and I love the Seasons lyrics, nice touch. You rock dude! I hope Chris is at least half as impressed as I am. If I were Chris (and sometimes I wish I were) I would be thankful that so many people who consider themselves to be close to the band thought this much of me. The CC page is a really nice homage without all of that embarassing gush that sometimes accompanys fan generated complements. It's a great way to be wished a happy birthday! Chris when you read this, just realize that we all think that you're an important figure in our lives. We don't take your music lightly. Happy Birthday! As always, The Unofficial Page rules.
