Well, I know someone who has that CD and its called "Songs from the Superunknown". It has the songs "Fell on Black Days", "Superunknown","Like Suicide", and two previously unreleased tracks. One of the songs is called "Jerry Garcia's Finger" but I can't remember the other one. I was also wandering when the CD "Down on the Upside" was released. I was thinking it was released in March of '96 but, someone was trying to tell me it was released last summer or the past September. ------------------------------ From: Myra Haza Subject: FOPP FOPP IS A DANCE!!!!!!! ------------------------------ From: Laurie Casey Subject: Close Encounters with the Cornell Kind Hey, does anyone know what kind of car Chris drives?

GAVIN ROSSDALE IS NOT EVEN CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - -Amanda age 13 amanda@pppmail.appliedtheory.com ------------------------------ From: Georgia Kennedy Subject: "bonus" ep's In light of this recent flurry of mail (lots of it from/to myself), and a couple of recent postings to the list, I decided I'd mail my thoughts to the list for comment/discussion/abuse/ridicule. I'd like to think that the concept of re-releasing cds with bonus eps six months or so down the track is from the record company, and (hopefully) pretty much out of the band's control. Of course, that may not always be the case, but I'd like to think my faith in a band like Soundgarden remains intact. A good example is Badmotorfinger. I bought a copy of it as soon as it was released, heard about the SOMMS ep and bought another copy, a third copy from America (US pressing as a gift from my best Dad), and then got another copy again when it was released as a collectors box set in the form of "Supermotorfinger", along with my third copy of Superunknown. While I don't begrudge shelling out $30 or so dollars each time this kind of thing happens, mainly because I'm really interested in keeping up my collection, and also because I have a pretty good, well paid job, not everyone is quite this lucky. And now the saga continues with Down on the Upside, as with this Aust tour ep, I'll have three copies of that one as well. I suppose this also raises the issue of the actual sale figures of albums, because although the "physical" amount of copies sold is correct, theoretically (in a sense) the figures are wrong, because people owning multiple copies means the total amount of people "exposed" and attributing to a bands sales and popularity is distorted. So, what does everyone else think? I don't suppose there'll be any real alternative offered to people like me who do this (the record companies will continue to do this kind of thing forever), but it does raise an issue of artist control over this. Georgia. ps - is this where I put a soundgarden lyric? ------------------------------ Subject: Re: 2 ?'s From: seth > 2.

Soundgarden did not "create" the music for Road Rash -- I would imagine there is some sort of musical score for the game that someone else did.

In fact I had been thinking of offering that thread because I have a few of my own. Let me start with SuperUnknown. Every time I hear this song it makes me think about the experience of being a parent. I have two kids, 4 and 2 years old, and since they were born I've often felt like I have embarked on a journey into the great unknown - and the song seems to really describe how I feel. And bear with me. I'm well aware that these lines have deeper meanings than what I'm giving them, but we're talking "personal" interpretations here. Let me go verse by verse: "If this isn't what you see It doesn't make you blind" As a parent things aren't always as they appear to be. Sometimes you can't figure out what's going on, medically or emotionally or behaviorally, but it doesn't mean you're blind, or stupid. "If this doesn't make you feel It doesn't mean you've died" I love this line. When you are exhausted and overwhelmed sometime you feel like you must be dead, you feel kind of numb, but you have to go on. I picture myself sitting like a lump during a particularly wild day, watching my kids (both boys I forgot to say) going nuts, thinking "I am so tired, this doesn't even bother me". "Where the river's high" For me this means high emotion, being on the edge. "If you don't want to be seen (wishing I could hide from the kids, get some privacy) You don't have to hide (No, I just have to get my time some other way) If you don't want to believe (I can't believe he did that! I can't believe *I* did that!) You don't have to try To feel alive." Of all the joys of having children, feeling more alive is my favorite. I don't have to "try" to feel alive. Just watching and being with my kids makes me feel alive. "Alive in the Superunknown" Perfect description of the whole parenting experience. I don't know if it ever gets less unnerving, if I'll ever feel like an expert, but right now every day is an adventure. Even after the second was born, and I thought I knew all about babies, his personality was so different that it was like starting all over. Now, this isn't a bad thing. It sure makes life exciting. I definitely see this as a positive song. "First it steals your mind" For me describes the first few months with a new baby, feeling nuts. "And then it steals your soul" This is when I fall head over heels in love with the child and they have my soul forever. You get the idea (I hope) so I'm going to skip the next "If this doesn't, it doesn't mean" part since the ideas are similar, just the ambiguities of dealing with life and small children. I love this next part: "Get yourself afraid" I was always pretty much of a daredevil until I had kids. Now I know the real meaning of "afraid". I think parents have pretty vivid imaginations when it comes to horrible things that could happen to their kids. "Get yourself alone" (Something I think every stay-at-home mom dreams of) "Get yourself contained Get yourself control" For me those last two lines describe the process I go through when one, or both of them really piss me off. Rather than kill them I get "contained" and "control", or "self-control", as I think he means here. "Alive in the Superunknown First it steals your mind And then it steals your...soul" Even the music and the feel of the song fit in with my feelings about it. Any of you with kids (or without kids, I don't want to discriminate) take another listen and tell me what you think. Sorry this is so long, but its been waiting to come out for some time now. Hope I didn't bore you all. I have a personal interpretation of Zero Chance too, but I guess I'll do that another time.

I don't see how that means they are "moving in a more commercialized direction". I imagine early in their career being nominated, even if it was for the horrid Grammy, was exciting. And they really can't help it if they get nominated. Chris did make a comment when accepting the award for Black Hole Sun that he didn't think the song was Heavy Metal, and they definitely don't seem like they've kissed ass in the past at the ceremony. Shit, what's wrong with winning an award? People who turn their nose up on things like that need to do an ego check. I've been amazed every time they've been recognized by the Grammy people, because you're right, they don't fit into that whole scene. But they don't have to fit into it to be honored by it, or to benefit from the recognition. And if they didn't think so they wouldn't show up. Let's wait and see what they do this year. Sure we all know the Grammys are a sham, but so is every other award like it. Who knows, maybe they throw one hell of a party.

Which is which? from memory, I think the order on the record itself is 665, beyond the wheel and then 667. if you are asking which is which, then I don't know :) > Second, SG gives thanx to a bunch of bands, including Faith No More and > Screaming Trees. Is there some kind of connection there? I imagine that various members of each band knew each other before the recording of ultramega. chris also (I'm guessing that this was later) co-produced and sang back up vocals on _uncle anasthesia_, an early screaming trees record. > Third, who is this Hiro Yamamoto guy? When did he leave and Ben enter? And > why? all these questions and more are answered within the pages of the ugly truth, which you can find at www.sgi.net/soundgarden/faq. the short answer is that hiro was soundgarden's original bassist, but left around the time of louder than love. why he left is not certain, but there are a couple of clues outlined in the faq. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: "Jamal O.

I was kinda surprised that Soundgarden actually Contributed music for the game. Anyone out there have a clue why? - ---------- From: David Miller[SMTP:pjdave@flash.net] Sent: Monday, January 13, 1997 10:50 PM To: somms@MIT.EDU Subject: RE: 2 ?'s Is this the Road Rash for Sega?
