It's mainly Steven Fisk describing the new record and there's also a bit on the history of the band. The beginning of the article is also quite amusing :) I've already typed it up for someone, so if any sommsters would like to read it, just let me know, and I'd be glad to send it to you. sabrina ------------------------------ From: Mercyhurst Prep Library Subject: stuff, wit and Sg This is long but please read and consider and yes, I do pose a Sg question at the end! I agree, enough of the newbie stuff. They ought to be as welcome as any of us and frankly, I agree w/ the posts some of the newbies have been making lately. It's not up to any one of us to judge who's a better/more dedicated Sg fan simply b/c of how long someone has been on the list. I've been on 1 1/2 years, what's that make me? I don't know the older stuff, I'm in my own category, we all are. Some newbies have not been treated very nicely--would any of you want to be treated the way a few of them have been?? Think about it! I think--tell me if I'm wrong--that I try to act like a peace-maker or at least a voice of reason, even if it does go unnoticed. We're all entitled to our 2 cents right? So here's mine. Seems things get to a certain point on this list and then we find ourselves in a time warp of repeating claims, same subjects, etc.--I'm better than you b/c sort of crap. Certain people lash out when they reach their limit of tolerance and they cop a 'tude. We're like a big family, falks! We're like a bunch of siblings! Just think about it--we're like the Cornell family! I could care less about who does what for the list and that sort of thing. We're not here to impress the world w/ what great fans we are! The amusing thing is, the person who copped that just yesterday told me I'm the type of fan who drove her out of the music biz. I'm quite complacent compared to some of my fellow listers--I don't drive vast distances or go into debt to see Sg, etc. Now just let me say this so you can see what I mean about how the "I'm better than you" stuff --AND PLEASE NOTE--THIS IS SAID AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW FAR WE _COULD_ TAKE THINGS! I keep this stuff to myself, only a few people know it. I can tear apart a computer and put it back together and it works, plus I can upgrade my own equipment at work, and I'm a network admin, and Karen Cornell is a personal friend of mine, plus I know her kids pretty well too, so I'm a better fan than any of you. What a bunch of crapola! I'm not a better fan than anyone based on who I know or what I can do w/ computers. I don't care a whit about guitar tabs like some of you, I don't know the old stuff--does that make me a lesser fan? My point, and yes, I'm repeating things I've said in the past if youcheck the digest--this list is for Sg fans to talk about the band, to meet other Sg fans, to exchange info and experiences. It shouldn't matter if you've been on the list from day one or just found it b/c you just got a computer--I do all my stuff from work!--the MAIN THING should be that you are a Sg fan!!! Period. ****OK, let's now try for some new strings! Do you need to be in just the right sort of mood to listen to Sg and if so, what sort of mood is it? What makes you think "I gotta listen to Sg today?" For me, it's sort of a mood-related thing, like I somehow feel either defiant or just plain ready to conquer the world. I'll put aside my Sg tapes for a while and then all of a sudden, one day before I leave for work I pause and grab bmf or su b/c I just need to have that fix! *****another string--are there any Sg songs that put you in a really good frame of mind, which ones and why? My 2 cents for the day! later.....ciao.....deb ps--I'm so happy!!! My friend Lin and I have been signed up to go to Germany and Austria in June and last night at a trip meeting, she won an over-night stay in a medeival castle on the first night there! We're staying in a castle, we're staying in a castle! Just had to share that b/c I'm so jazzed about it!!! ------------------------------ From: Mercyhurst Prep Library Subject: tee available!

Do you need to be in just the >right sort of mood to listen to Sg and if so, what sort of mood is it? >What makes you think "I gotta listen to Sg today?" No not really!! I think SG helps create my mood more than me being in a mood and needing to hear certain songs. Like our favorite driving song "Rusty Cage". When I'm in the Jeep and "Rusty Cage" is coming at me - my mood is free, open to the four winds, ready to tear up the road, and laugh in the face of the law. Now of course if the law would stop me I would more than likely be in a "I fought the Law but the Law won" mood.. But if FOBD is playing my mood will switch to sadness and put on BUTOW and I'm a crazed and happy fool dancing my heart out on stage with the band. Maybe that is why I like SG so much they have a song to fit all the moods my strange (but wonderful) emotions go through. >*****another string--are there any Sg songs that put you in a really good >frame of mind, which ones and why? Again "Rusty Cage"!! I guess this song is just one of my all time picks. It just makes me feel so damn good about everything.

What makes you think "I gotta listen to Sg today?" Being that i'm from a town named Holstein i felt obligated to comment on the mooooooooooods thread. I personaly will pick a song or a cd that may enhance the mood i'm alredy in. Like if i'm feeling recluse or dark i may put in Stolen Prayers or UMOK, but if i feel like a million BMF or Fopp will do nicely. Songs are the same way, good mood = SWMGEC or BiMH. While if i feel like releaseing some energy, Ty Cobb or BtW or TDITtL. The coolest thing is that i can always fing a song to match my mood. I might even sit there and switch between cds for an hour just to listen to the sad songs or the loud ones. >"I gotta listen to Sg today?" every day my friends biff ------------------------------ From: Redodin@aol.com Subject: Re:Something I would like to thank Benlover for (her?) cosiderations.That was very, very nice of you! I have been a soundgarden fan since BMF, though I was ignorant to their band history(well, some of it) untill I joined somms. Fact of the matter is that this is of great help to me on my newborn desire to find Soundgarden collectables and rarities.It also proves that newbies should not whine about acceptance.Well alot of different people got out of hand and the best thing to do is to ignore those people. I think Seth laid down the law so all of us STILL bitching and complaining might want to stop if they do not want to continue their existance on this wonderfully dedicated list.What a privelege! Thank you Seth and fellow mates.Truly.

Hiya, Just doing the same chores I did last week on my day off(what is with these people in my house I just washed the dishes last week and I have to do it AGAIN!!! :)) I have my housecleaning music on. Just a couple of things came to me as I was stripping the beds while the Moby BUTOW remix played. I had a vision of Sommsvention in Los Vegas. A bad meeting room in a Vegas hotel crammed full of sommsters. Huge Video screen with a slide show going on (Courtesy of UKDeb) of Chris pictures and all the hootchies up doing a cootchie cootchie dance(to this remix) in front of the screen in ecstasy. Or doing Ecstasy....whatever!! Don't be afraid to come to Vegas; Matt, Ben, Kim and Chris....we are harmless...well maybe not to each other but to you we'll be nice!! Also I listened to Come Together again since it was a fave of both Seth and j. And guess what??..... I still don't like it! I'm funny that way the guitar sound just grates on my ears and nerves. I can't listen to a Melvins CD for the same reason it just makes my skin crawl on hearing. Even the little snippetof them in Hype had me spuirming in my seat. I don't dislike Come Together because I like the Beatles version better and yes, j I am old enough to remember it first. I love the Rolling Stones and I really like Soundgarden's version of Stray Cat Blues!! Especially Chris singing "I bet your Mama don't know you can stratch like that!" meow!

Makes you want to get up and throw something. Very Punkish. Face Polution, Ty Cobb and Kickstand are kind of fast get up and do something energetic type of songs. Atleast to me. Great to listen to after a drilling day at school. Especialy Ty Cobb. You can close your eyes and pretend your telling all your teachers Fuck You All! Totally relaxing. A release of fustrations. Is the Birth Ritual original demo version that is found on some singles any good? Or is it pretty much the same thing? I have the one from the Singles soundtrack and it is one of my favorite songs.

Luck's last match wrote: >And the Italian guy had a good point about BHS, but i would like to see >the translation of that interview, as well as know what song was dropped >from SU. Sure you can! And here it is! It's from an italian magazine called "Il mucchio selvaggio"(the wild heap[of people]) May 1996 n.220, a really trustworthy source.. QUESTION: "When you have an idea for a catchy song, you try to change it in order to avoid commercial success?"[they have talked for a whole page about commercial success of other Seattle bands like Pearl Jam...] CHRIS: "Sometimes (laughs). I think that doing so i destroyed a song on the new album. This is the reason why it's not on it. It had a very catchy melody, it was nearly a pop song, but we played it with a fuzzy, punk rock approach, and at the end it didn't work.It came out less interesting than if we had a different approach." QUESTION: "It's too late now?" CHRIS: "To re-do that song? Not really.I guess i've been hypercritical.My idea of how the song should have been was different from the way I approached it during the recording phase.I showed the band an aggressive guitar, because unconsciously i had realized it was merely a power-pop song.At the end, it was me being unsatisfied, even if it was all my fault.Now it's only a sort of scratchy fast punk rock song i don't like really much." So the song was not actually dropped from SU but from DOTU(as i wrote in my message...) The interview is huge...49(!) questions, to most of which Chris answers extensively. So Chris doesn't name the song...i just can't remember clear, but i think that somwhere i read it could be called Cristi(i got nearly 40 magazines with more than one hundred pages of interviews...am i allowed not to remember everything?). I beg you to forgive me if that's not exact. Anyway, this is an extract from another italian magazine, oh ,sorry, European (Metal Hammer) October 1996.I think this is the only interview in which the questions are longer than the answers...the band should have been really upset for something! QUESTION: "On the album(!?!)there's a song called "Castle All Write" which is far from your usual way of composing songs.Why?" CHRIS . "You gotta ask Matt, it's him who wrote it.Hey Matt..." "Eh, Uh, oh yeah" (a grown dull Matt Cameron(?!?) enters for a short time the discussion) MATT: "Experience, solid dynamics,syntony...it's from these that we tried to bring more musicality in the album. The other guys liked it, and chris put great lyrics in it...[hey, it looks like he's reading from a small note as in school!!!] CC:"It was a so funny song that when our next record will be out everybody's gonna like it." So, what's this "Castle all write"?Does anybody have a clue? Let us know!!! Valerio "the italian guy" hey,was it a good translation?I could send to Seth MANY new interviews of good italian magazines.Anyway, let me know! - --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Taylor Holmes Subject: A bunch of meanies...

Then he had the nerve to go on about it for the next minute or so. Ugh. I wanted to call in and flame the guy, but I decided I better not pull over. UGH. It makes me mad just thinking about how dumb people are. While I'm on the subject, I was sitting in the library with some friends today, and of course, the name Chris Cornell comes up and everyone looks at me. I talked about him a bit and announced that I can't WAIT to see them again live on the **crossing fingers** summer tour. Then this guy looks at me and says,"You like Chris Cornell?
