Cats
Name:Catherine Veit...or CATS4KIM as i am more commonly known on the list.
i close my letters with this name to acknowledge a man of whom i have
a great deal of respect and admiration for.
Email:Lilricky81@aol.com
Location: i currently preside in Orange, CA....20 min from LA....10 min from
Disneyland... my family is a legacy when it comes to Disney related
employment...me my dad, sister, cousin have all been members of their
organized mafia ...as the cast likes to call it.. needless to say, i carry
all the inside dirt.
you may also come to know Orange
as the birthplace and mecca of ska related music... it seems ironic,
to be an intense fan of a band whose members spent their lives
detesting what my community has to offer musically. but let me just
say for the record, if there was to be a bloody protest, i'd be there
front and center with burning torch in hand.
Occupation: hmmm, let's see...no career yet anyway.. a couple crap jobs here
and
there while still attending school. as i look down the road, i'll be
focusing on either criminology in general, or forensic studies. but
these days i prefer to watch classic episodes of I LOVE LUCY..(hence
my screen name and addy "lilricky" duh!!) with a grape BLOW POP in one
hand, and a DR. PEPPER in the other.
SG discovery story: probably the very first time i heard outshined
on
the radio. at that time i was about 3/4 sold on sg and their tunes...
the real obsession didn't evolve until i finally decided to buy BMF
almost 2 years after it's first release... then came SU not too long
after. i've been on my hands and knees ever since.
Live Experiences: i find myself most fortunate to have experienced sg's music
live... most memorable being DEC. 1st 96'.... as an symbol of my undying
love and spontaneous behavior, i was determined to be the first to sit
my ass down in
line the day tickets were sold... they went on sale around 10am, i
arrived at 4:30 with my blanky... and could you fukin' believe that
there were already two other people in front of me...what a
disappointment!! so no pit, but my seats were still pretty decent.
the events of that night are too intense and lengthy to post here.
on the other hand, July 94' show was probably one of the worst nights
of my life....bad cold, bad neighborhood, bad seats (possibly row tripple
"z") and on the way home we got on the wrong freeway headed for
Vegas.
Favourite Album/songs:it's difficult to narrow down the 2 greatest rock opus'
ever composed...even though both albums are complete opposites
musically and arrangement wise ....so i didn't bother..my favs are both
SU and BMF. fav sg songs of all time would have to be:
beyond the wheel, mailman, nothing to say, flies, rusty cage, slaves,
gun and suicide for kim's solos.... jcp, and 4th of July.. home to one
of my fav lyrics "jesus trys to crack a smile, beneath another shovel
load." the hell with rock lyricist, chris is a poet....the next Edwin A.
Robinson! (my fav poet!)
Other Bands: AIC, rage, ministry, melvins, L7, social distortion, rev. horton
heat, weezer, TORI AMOS, boss hog, sonic youth, morphine, babes in
toyland, rollins band, white zombie
Comments: i just want to thank soundgarden for every b-side, a-side, live
preformance, lame MTV interview, mag article, and online chat that
they've shared with us for the past 12 years. you and your music hold a
special place in all of our hearts (especially mine!)
i love u kim!
