I was super excited to get this and have been wanting it for a while; FoBD is a great song but I mainly bought it for the B Side: Kyle Petty, Son of Richard.

Of course, just my luck, as soon as I flipped the disc over to listen to it, about 40 seconds in that song hits a skipping loop or whatever it’s called. Really sucks, but maybe a cleaning or two will help. Still super psyched to own this!

Honestly I heard more songs off of Higher Truth than Soundgarden or Audioslave material because of my age

In the lead-up to the Scream tour, Chris Cornell performed a series of shows throughout October before wrapping up the album's pre-promotional run on December 2, 2008, with the Orange Lounge Sessions—a professionally filmed performance recorded with a direct soundboard feed.

MSN originally distributed the video. Unfortunately, I lost the original video file years ago, but I still have the original audio source.

I only used "Part of Me" and "Watch Out" in the reconstruction I uploaded yesterday, so I wanted to share the complete audio exactly as it was recorded.

Setlist

1. Part Of Me
2. Watch Out
3. You Know My Name
4. Scream
5. Hunger Strike

As far as I know, this performance and the Hollywood show were the only professionally filmed concerts from this period, making this one of the very few surviving documents from the early Scream era.

To everyone who was disappointed with the reconstruction I released yesterday, I understand. My goal was to create the most linear and complete viewing experience possible. If I still had the original pro-shot video of this performance, I would have uploaded it instead. Unfortunately, that file is gone, but at least the original audio survives.

Enjoy!

I just finished the audiobook of Kim's memoir yesterday. I burned through it pretty quickly after starting it, and I really appreciated his insight into the group. I will admit to wanting a bit more from the book, but I don't think any book on Soundgarden was ever going to completely satisfy me.

Kim's honesty really shines through at all times, but he is also really respectful to the other members of the band without coming across as bitter at any point. I found he seems to have more of a preference to the Hiro years over the Ben years. I was hoping for a bit more insight into the Badmotorfinger, Superunknown and Down on the Upside stretch, but its not that surprising that he has less to say about that time because he had less impact on the writing process then.

Kim provides some opinion on Temple on the Dog and Audioslave that I liked without being too arrogant about not being a massive fan. It does seem like that Soundgarden had a special relationship as a band, but he and Chris seemed to sort of grow apart after the break-up of the band and Chris may have tried to distance himself from the rest of the band a bit even after they reunited. Chris moving away from Seattle and divorcing Susan Silver seems to have driven a bit of a stake through the band that they may not have 100% percent recovered from, but there are still some points made that Chris maintained a nice friendship with Kim most of the time and that sort of warmed my heart a bit.

Kim provides some nice perspective on the final few days with Chris. He did provide some information that I hadn't heard previously.

Overall I enjoyed any new information, and I would've loved to hear any more thoughts from Kim on his time in the band. I don't really foresee another member of the band writing a memoir, but I guess time will tell.

Anyone else finish the book lately and have any thoughts?

I don’t know how many of you relate to his words—words filled with darkness, misanthropy, and rage, but also tenderness, vulnerability, and love. His music resonated deeply with so many people who saw themselves reflected in his songs of pain—whether in the 90s with Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog, or in the 2000s as a solo artist and the frontman of Audioslave. Songs like "Fell on Black Days," "Let Me Drown," "Outshined," and "Seasons"... His story and his music taught me that a man can open up—that he has the right to open up and share his emotions and his vulnerability—free from taboos about masculinity or the other bullshit that tells men not to ask for help and to always remain stoic and unfeeling like Scott Galloway and Jordan Peterson that teach that women find men with less money less attractive, that you as man need to be always strong, confident and and repress emotions and all this toxic quotes. Chris didn't belong to that world. His music is raw and speak from his heart.

Desmond in the couch pit. This house will forever be filled with Chris Cornell’s voice💐

I remember seeing Soundgarden perform at my college right before they released Badmotorfinger.

I had to go digging through the archives of my school newspaper, The Student Life to confirm.

Greetings, I've been going through these CD-ROMs I used to enjoy in the 90s and screen recording the cool stuff to share and preserve on the interwebs forever, and so I present to you: Soundgarden as interviewed by Launch CD-Rom Magazine in 1996.

A very cool little time capsule!

Visited a old friend on his birthday today.

Hello! I’m not sure if this is the right sub to post on but it’s adjacent so I figured it’d be alright.

I’m looking for the 2014 tour superunknown tee in either small or medium. The only two I have managed to come across so far have been XS or possibly a reprint (which I don’t mind just not for the price it was). The shirt has the anniversary modified superunknown album cover on the front and a print on the back with tour dates. I’d prefer US but also be interested in a Europe/international (if those exist). Please reply or dm!!

15 years ago - on the initial leg of Soundgarden's reunion tour. We miss Chris every single day.

Here is my ninth art tribute to this beautiful man that we all miss dearly. We love you and miss you so much Chris. 💚❤️‍🩹

Title: “You Know My Name,” by me.
Done on Procreate.

I've always thought of Down on the Upside as being similar to Pink Floyd's The Wall or NIN's The Fragile. All 3 albums followed the bands most successful record. And all three were more experimental than their previous release. You could maybe throw The Beatles White Album in there.

Which got me to thinking, what if Down on the Upside were a double album? Any thoughts on what tracks would be on each side? I think of it like this...

Album 1

1. "Pretty Noose"

2. "Rhinosaur"

3. "Zero Chance"

4. "Dusty"

5. "Ty Cobb"

6. "Blow Up the Outside World"

7. "Burden in My Hand"

8. "Bleed Together"

9. "Kristi"

10. "Karaoke"

Album 2

1. "Never Named"

2. "Applebite"

3. "Never the Machine Forever"

4. "Tighter & Tighter"

5. "No Attention"

6. "Switch Opens"

7. "Overfloater"

8. "An Unkind"

9 "Boot Camp"

I mean stuff like different scales, reading tabs, time signatures and other complex stuff related to music theory

Just had to share this especially with what's been going on in the world recently.

"The wreck is going down, get out before you drown.

Hello everybody! I have compiled "Superunknown" into a full live album. I tried to keep the flow as best as possible with seamless transitions through songs, typically using crowd noise to connect them. I hope you enjoy it, and all feedback is encouraged!

Stopped for a drink on my way into the Tyler Childers concert and look what was playing.

Made me think, whilst listening to one of my favorite musicians on my way into see one of my other favorites, that I can’t be the only fucker who loves both.

Aesthetically these are very different sounding artists, but tonally and spiritually I know that they share so much. Certainly lyrically!

So, what’s your favorite Tyler Childers song?

Loud love,

I was digging around and had forgotten I had this. Yes, that is a nickel.
