To Buckley fans, be *sure* to check out a band called Geneva...their new release is coming out in a couple of weeks...and the similarities to both Buckleys is very freaky...

Someday I'll have to figure out what they would be in that case. (Am I bored?) As it is they are: Desmond Dekker--Devilhead--The Dickies George Harrison--Hater--He Said Sisters of Mercy--Skin Yard--Smashing Pumpkins Sonic Youth--Soundgarden--Split Enz (!) Tears for Fears--Temple of the Dog--10,000 Maniacs The Walkabouts--Wellwater Conspiracy--Paul Westerberg and my SG and related vinyl is in a sacred place all its own, as are the tapes and videos (stacks of which are threatening to take over my living room).

The EMP launched its website (at www.experience.org) on Wednesday, and fans can now delve deep into the histories of musicians from the Pacific Northwest like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Jimi Hendrix. One portion of the site, dubbed "Northwest Passage," lets users follow the personnel links between bands like Mudhoney, Love Battery, Soundgarden, and Mother Love Bone. Elsewhere, you can read Jimi Hendrix's hand-written lyrics to a number of classic tracks. The experience also enables users to create their own music by strumming a collection of vintage guitars or by assembling a band of your own and mixing their sound in the studio. As we reported in June, the EMP plans to erect a 130,000 square foot interactive music museum in the Emerald City. The project sprung from the imagination of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, whose love of Jimi Hendrix drove him to plan the museum the celebrate the music of the Pacific Northwest. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jul 1997 11:10:58 -0700 From: Fetal Bliss Subject: Off-topic, or frivolous SG?

Yeah, later, Scott Every word I said Is what I mean. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jul 1997 11:45:50 -0500 From: NIKI FREER Subject: Re: cc solo announced....

You know you're obsessed with Soundgarden when.... I go to sleep I have to be watching Louder Than Live or Singles. You see I have this tv and vcr, and when the video is over it automatically rewinds it, and the tv turns off by itself. So when I'm watching my LTL or Singles as I fall asleep, I have to have my 5 SG cds in the 5 disc cd player, and then when the videos are over I can listen to SG while I'm sleeping. (This probably made no sence at all) My Dream...not that you care... I've been having a lot of Soundgarden dreams lately. But Ben and Matt never seem to be in them. It's always Chris and Kim. Anyway in my dream there was this big stage in my back yard, and they were playing on it, except I could only see Chris and Kim. When the show was over about 5 fans ran to Chris's car, which happened to be this black bronco. And Chris was signing autographs, and no matter how hard I tried, there seemed to be this barrier. Like invisible glass, and I couldn't get to Chris, and he couldn't see me. Oh yeah this was in his early days, when he had long hair, black shorts, burley black boots. Anyway, I was really sad...as I watched Chris and Kim walk away. I saw them walk under this bridge by my house. I was sitting down and crying. They walked back by, but they didn't see me, but I could see them. They both jump in this little black corvette, I run over and this time I could get to Kim and he signed an autograph and we talked briefly, but his face looked different. I still couldn't talk to Chris, there was still a barrier. As they drove off I yelled, "Chris" this time he heard me, looked back and smiled, and kept going. So I walk in the house later and there is Chris and my dad talking in the living room. Chris was still wearing the same thing, and my dad was wearing these funky guatamaleun pants. I was freaking out, I didn't know what to do...so I run upstairs to get a camara, except I couldn't find it. I run downstairs and Chris has suggested to my dad that they change outfits. Weird huh? So theirs my dad with no shirt, black shorts, and boots. (Chris wears them alot better, might I add) Then I sat down, and Chris comes over to me and we start chatting for awhile, about really weird stuff. ************************ Anyway dreams over and I wake up, so I go downstairs, and my dad's sitting downstairs drinking coffee with just those black shorts on. I started freaking out, and told him about my dream...he thought it was pretty weird. Ok I'm finished, thanks for reading this really boring post if you did, just had to get it out. Thanks! Later...

Today I was watching MTV and the stupid special about women in the Citadel came on. I was about to turn it and all of a sudden the beginning of Flower came on. It was pretty cool. It makes you wonder why MTV doesn't play any Soundgarden videos anymore. Oh, and on the Cable Guy, Matthew Broderick's friend, (what was his name in the movie?) was wearing the Superunknown shirt. No one cares but I was bored. _______________________________________________________ Get Private Web-Based Email Free http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jul 1997 11:39:17 EST From: Saskia Becher Subject: Hello, We are Soundgarden I bought a video recently called Hello, We are Soundgarden *cheerin and waving at Kirk!* and it has some mad stuff on it. I was wondering if anyone else has this video. The videos have a blurb at the beginning - Title,when where how, produced by blah blah directed by blah blah etc. Interesting stuff...

But often they are around my stereo with the other CD's I listen to. Not only that, but sometimes I just take a CD out of the player and put it into the case of the CD that I put in after (so basically, most of my things are mixed up).=20 =20 At the moment, my NOW CD is in the Spoonman single case, the Spoonman single is in my Bouge De L=E0 case, my Bouge De L=E0 CD is in my= SuperUnknown case, my SuperUnknown CD is in my MADE in the 80s case, my MADE in the 80s CD is in my Noir Silence case, my Noir Silence CD is in my DOTU case, my DOTU CD is in my Songs From The SuperUnknown case, my SFTSU CD is in my Myl=E8ne Farmer case, my Myl=E8ne Farmer CD is in my Temple of The Dog case (the CD is currently in my CD player) and for some reason, my Singles soundtrack is in my Miss Saigon case. All my other Cd's are not mixed up at the moment, but geez...I really need to do some cleaning with my CDs= huh?

The first site they discussed was Seth's site and commented on the amount of info it had and they even mentioned the wordsearch puzzle. They also mentioned the interaction between fans and they spoke of the mailing list. What was even cooler is that they kept talking about all of the cool pictures and sounds you can download and they called it one of the best sites featured on the program. Just thought it would be nice for this good news.... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jul 1997 23:45:41 -0500 From: NIKI FREER Subject: Sacramento 12-4-96/ TIFFANY! hey guys! today i picked up a copy of a video of the 12/04/96 show in Sacramento, CA. i've never heard of anyone mention this one being available as of yet, so i figured i'd let you guys know it's out there. but please don't ask me to copy it, cause i can't. = ) sorry. and i haven't watched it yet, but when i do, i'll let you guys know how it is.
