Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning

September 21, 1999 was the release date for Chris Cornell’s first solo album, Euphoria Morning. A wonderful and beautiful album that had some fans scratching their heads. The music was unlike anything that Soundgarden had ever performed. Despite some songs that were written during the Soundgarden years, such as “Flutter Girl” which was a Superunknown outtake, the album was a venture outside the world of rock. Cornell’s vocals and lyrics are some of his best work. The music covers everything from slightly alternative to piano lounge. Some of the stand out tracks are the single “Can’t Change Me”, the piano driven “When I’m Down”, the acoustic “Euphoria Morning” and “Wave Goodbye” a tribute to Cornell’s friend Jeff Buckley.

Paltalk Presents LateNet with Ray Ellin

With their high ticket prices, drink minimums, dinner reservations, and parking constraints, even the most frequent of laugh-seekers will agree that comedy clubs have an element of exclusivity that is off-putting.

Soundgarden - Like Suicide

One of my favorite Soundgarden tracks. Both the studio version from Superunknown and the acoustic version found on Songs From The Superunknown (or “The Day I Tried To Live” and “Black Hole Sun” singles) are both great, each version having their own vibe.
