In other random Soundgarden news bassist Ben Shepherd has completed his solo album with the help of Adam Kasper.  Shepherd is still trying to figure out how he is going to release it.

It's a greatest hits, but it also includes songs that haven't seen an official release before. 

He says, "This is, however, an endorsed retrospective of our singles career, augmented with some deeper album tracks that were always fan favorites even when they seemed not to be radio or video friendly....... For you this album collects our most fan friendly songs along with what we regard as strong album tracks that garnered the greatest screams during our lengthy history."

Telephantasm came via UPS today.  Was looking through the book and found this:

"This is not a replica of A-Sides, nor is this the long awaited B-Sides album that I assure you is forthcoming and full of Soundgarden originals that have never before been compiled, nor collected under the Soundgarden rubric.  Nor, is this the collection of oddities and covers that will constitute another collection we have planned." - Kim Thayil describing Telephantasm. 

So they have at least 2 more releases planned, and more if they really decide to record.  9

I never said it was a long term plan, because obviously that would be silly, but the record companies will milk this for all they can while the games still sell.

I gotta hurry and buy this album. Hardcores are noticing that at least some of these songs have a different mix.

As long as this Guitar Hero/Rock Band/etc. thing doesn't die down, this looks to be the future of music.

Holy fucking shit, already platinum?  These guys knew what the fuck they were doing with this. 

My problem is the few stores I have gone into HAVEN'T HAD THE ALBUM.  They have Guitar Hero with the album packaged inside, but not the standalone album.  I have no idea what stores have it.  So I ordered it on Amazon and it should be here any time. 

That's my recommendation James.  They have the 2cd/1DVD version it for like $14 or something like that.  It's dirt cheap.  I got it with 1 day shipping for $20. 

The record companies are going to be eating this up.  It's the perfect way to guarantee sales on albums.  Unfortunately, these games don't come out every month.  So we are really only going to see the biggest bands awarded this kind of opportunity.

I agree with Slash.  It would have taken time to finish, but Axl would have kicked ass on any of those songs. 

No way in Hell could I see Axl singing on a Slash solo album.  I just can't see it.

Someone mentioned that Kim could possibly be mistaken for Saddam Hussein in that picture.  16
