Is that the one you mean? Well, how many can there be? I can scan that. In fact I was going to but forgot. Shroom, should I send you a personal copy or just send it to Seth for the web site, or both?

But that's pretty cool cuz I'm now a member and it didn't even cost me. Cool early xmas present. One idea on how they got everyone's address. If you've entered any contests on the official site, they usually ask you all the info like address and name. And then Dena commented about the fan club selling the tee's for cheaper than at the concerts. I could have also saved $15 bucks. What a rip off. stella ------------------------------ From: overfloater@thenexus.com Subject: a note pinned on your back, painfully exact HEY THERE, I HAVEN'T POSTED TO THE argh damnit caps.. Anyway, like I was saying, I haven't posted in a bit but I had this really cool dream last night :> Ok, well, tomorrow is my pal Johny's 16th birthday party, and he's having three bands play: my band, as well as two other rather famous bands from Poughkeepsie, Dissolve and Withdrawn. Well, I had a dream that I was at this party and who the hell shows up but Soundgarden and Jawbox :> And I'm all freaking out, saying What is going on here?! I never see Kim or Chris or Ben, but I run into Matt and we're just talking about the list and stuff :> He was a nice guy but he was pretty short too, I remember that :> And I have a pencil and paper with me but I forget to ask for his autograph (duh) heheh :> and it was just weird, and Jawbox didn't play after all, which I was quite upset about :> Uhh.. Merry Christmas... I got the '97 SG calendar... I haven't seen it yet but a friend picked it up for me... I guess Chris is on every page :> That just cracked me up :> Well, I'll shut up now.

I'm on a PJ mailing list..and in that list WE do not talk bout stuff like Eddie Vedder is God or something crap like that...What we talk about inthere is very much similar to what we "discuss" here in SOMMs...and i truly enjoy the experience on being on both SOMMs and the PJ mailing list.'Nuff said. I LOVE BOTH SOUNDGRADEN AND PEARL JAM!! Sorry bout that..... Merry Xmas people....

Phenomenal!!! Incredible beyone words. Here are some of my personal favorite highlights: 1) They played an *AWESOME* version of Head Down--UNBELIEVABLE Towards the end Ben went behind the drum kit with Matt and joined him in playing the drums. Kim did an excellent solo. WOW 2) During Slaves and Bulldozers they went into Me and My Monkey--too cool!!!! Once again the boys f*cking ROCK! 3) They didn't play Room a Thousand Years Wide but they DID play Nothing to Say!!! and Search and Destroy!! 4) During the end of JCP Chris stood on his guitar and played it with his feet. 5) Kim did the play the guitar behind the head trick--Ben was in rare form--I don't think I have EVER seen him smile so much. It was crystal clear that our boys were having one hell of a great time during the show. Ben and Kim were constantly joking around with the crowd and eachother. Chris was mind blowing. Artis the Spoonman is just incredible to watch. It was an *awesome* show!! The Presidents of the U.S.A. and Pond opened for them again. I was really impressed by them. It was a wonderful night and I wish I could do it all over again!!!

(does this make any sense???) 'search and destroy' was a dream come true for me. i know, it seems silly, but i have been an iggy pop fan since, i dunno, 1978? and it means a lot to me that a i band i love so much also loves music that i love so much...it's like i understand it at the same level, i dunno, kind of how i feel about the eddie vedder/pete townshend connection...something we have identically in common despite the fact we don't even know each other, it's something we can connect through... i am now dedicating myself to becoming a kim thayil groupie. i don't know, these last two nights i spent most of my binoculars time just watching kim's hands on the guitar. (is that green guild his main guitar? does someone have any stats on this? i once knew someone who could tell what song pearl jam were about to play by what guitar stone was using...). seriously, though, i thought his work was EXCEPTIONAL. and how they ended the shows with kim making feedback on top of his amps, back to us, body arched, hand coming up behind him to make the heavy metal devil symbol, then how he would go side-stage and come out with his beer and salute us all. ;-) the second night, chris also joined in on the feedback, i climbed on top of a chair arm to watch, he climbed up on the drum riser, turned the guitar upside-down and stepped on it, rocking back and forth, to make his feedback contribution... ending by snapping the head off of the guitar (les paul)... my other thought was about chris' voice, how there were moments during these shows where it felt like his voice was just entering my body and wrapping itself around my heart. not in a romantic or sexual way *at all*, i was just so moved by the qualities in his voice, especially during 'searching' or 'hands all over', or especially 'nothing to say'. i wanted to fuckin' cry during 'nothing to say' from the sheer joy of it all. what else. the pearl jam guys were at the show on tuesday (this from a confirmed source who works at silver mgmt), hence the reason the damn presidents name-checked them every six seconds. ryan went and checked the set list yesterday so we knew that 'search & destroy' was gonna be followed by 'nothing to say'. we had called seth on my cell phone earlier and i called him during "s&d" but of course it was so fucking LOUD i have no idea if he picked up or not. ;-( i checked it after "s&d" and it was disconnected. SETH????! ;-) both nights an artist created these amazing oil paintings of the band onstage. i grabbed him backstage after tuesday's show and asked him if he was selling, which he was (but chris has first dibs, apparently). got his card -- we'll see what happens... aaron had a big KTMS sign last night (though he couldn't fit the whole address on the sign so it just said 'somms@mit.' underneath it). no idea if they saw it, but i think ted (matt's roadie) did... other highlight was me throwing water at the stupid hootchie doing an interpretive dance to 'pretty noose' who ended up sitting on the barrier in front of us. chris wanted to bring tomatoes the next night. ;-) finally, i was really touched by erin haley's gesture of giving us the after-show passes, totally unexpected (and i mean *totally), we were just happy to wave 'hi' to her. ;-) nice hat, erin. ;-) it was fun to be there and hang out and have soundgarden buy *us* something (free drinks and leftover nachos! candy canes and candy kisses). and ryan got to talk to artis! - --caryn QUOTES OF THE EVENINGS: "Aaron, go suck up." -- v. anselmo "aaron, now who was staying at your hotel again?" --caryn "fuckin a!" --artis, to ryan "yes, someone is sitting in that chair" --all of us ------------------------------ From: ddba@pop.mindspring.com Subject: Re: SOMMS yep...jeremy crocker won it...course he isnt even in town to know he won...damnit all :) ill keep watching tho guys and keep yalls address and hopefully soneday everyone will have a copy...

Anybody? My guess is Matt. I just ran the video and paused it a few times and I couldn't tell who had a stand in. Matt would be the easiest I suppose as he is the least 'distinctive'. Hey, don't flame me, Matt lovers :-)- it's just Ben is so tall, Kim has that hair and Chris...well, I have spent many a happy hour studying Chris in *great* detail :-) There's just one very short part where the camera closes on on Ben and Matt's backs and Matt's hair doesn't look quite right, so maybe that's it? Though I did notice earlier in the video that Ben seemed to stumble a couple of times, like when he and Chris and Kim were all walking in line down the dune and silhoutted against the sky, so I wondered if he had twisted his ankle or something and maybe the jet scene was the last thing they shot so Ben had a stand in. I think we should be told! :-) Talking of videos, in the Musician article that's just appeared on the web page, the band refer to an alternative version of Outshined which was much better, in their opinion, than the one that got released. Does anyone know anything about this? I second whoever it was who would like to see them release a compliation video of their videos - they could include the 'missing' ones too. UKDeb ------------------------------ From: Geoff Subject: Looking California... The second Outshined video was released in Canada. I'm not sure if it was released elsewhere, but MuchMusic claimed it was released in Canada only. I do happen to have it on videotape, and an mpeg clip of it will appear on a website near you in the very near future, along with a clip of the original version. They'll probably be ready for Seth to post by the time he gets back.

To me its the same thing as the one released except it doesn't have the guy running around in a big hamster wheel. And instead of chains it looks like chris is playing around giant rolls of fly paper. Laugh now but I swear to you that's what it looks like. If shroom hasn't updated her chris pic of the day, you'll see a picture of him in the canadian version.

Sure they're popular, but hardly "Mainstream" popular. Its kind of like the Grateful Dead. They sold out every concert they played and were a part of this whole counterculture type thing, but they weren't mainstream. And I'll bet more people were familiar with the Grateful Dead (of course they were around longer too) than could place who Chris Cornell is. *Popular* does not mean *mainstream* in my opinion.

I see your point Kathy. The problem arises with interpretations of "mainstream", which is hard to define and relatively subjective. I totally agree with your Greatful Dead analogy which makes a good point. Maybe SG is not completely "mainstream" as I had said... but I do think that their current music and social perception is much more mainstream. I mean, many of the DOTU songs are much more radio/MTV freindly and, at least around here, they are in *heavy* rotation on the cheesy alterna-pop radio. Soundgarden finally perform on SNL and are mentioned on cheezy shows such as 'Suddenly Susan'. However, I suspect that the mainstream has evolved more to Soundgarden rather than Soundgarden evolving to the mainstream... or maybe a little of both... after all, the guys are not as young and full of rebellion as they used to be. Anyhow, good points Kathy.
