Both tracks were recorded at Evergreen State College's 24-track studio in June 1989.
Everman left Nirvana in July 1989 following a stressful tour and joined Soundgarden the following year as Hiro Yamamoto's temporary successor on bass.
In April 1990, he played on the band's cover of The Beatles' "Come Together", which appeared on an EP called Loudest Love.
Everman appeared in Soundgarden's Louder Than Live home video.

Chris Cornell said about the recording of the album, "At the time Hiro had excommunicated himself from the band and there wasn't a free-flowing system as far as music went, so I ended up writing a lot of it."
Yamamoto was becoming frustrated that he wasn't contributing much, and opted to go back to college.
Cornell also said, "It seems an odd time to quit.
We're doing real well.
We don't haul amps or do such long van rides any more."

Applied mathematics is a field of mathematics which uses mathematics to solve problems of other branches of science.
The contrary notion is pure mathematics.
There are many fields:
Approximation theory: Sometimes it is not possible to get an exact solution to a problem, because this might take too long, or it may not be possible at all.
Approximation theory looks at ways to get a solution which is close to the exact one, and which can be obtained faster.
Numerical analysis and simulation: This field investigates various algorithms to get approximations for mathematical problems.
The study of numerical linear algebra and validated numerics are also included in this field.
Probability and Statistics: How likely is it that something will happen? -
If a coin is flipped 100 times, and lands heads up 53 times, is this coin good for games of chance, or should another one be taken?
Optimization is about finding better solutions to problems.
In ecology certain things are known about populations of animals or plants.
This is usually called Population model.
Biologists use them to tell how a population changes over time.

Baseball is a team sport which is played by several professional leagues all over the world.
In these leagues, players are selected for their talents and are paid to play for a team.
One of the most popular professional baseball leagues is Major League Baseball, which has teams in the United States and Canada.
Another league is Nippon Professional Baseball, which is in Japan.
MLB baseball is spilt into two leagues, the National and the American league.
For instance, the Italian name of the city of Rome, the capital of Italy, is .
English speakers call it "Rome" to make it sound more English.
Another example is the city of Moscow in Russia, which sounds like Moskva in Russian, though it is written much differently because Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet (it is written in that language as ).
Still, English speakers call the city "Moscow" because it is easier to say.
Most of these changes were made a few centuries ago.
In some cases the original language was different to the modern one.
Turin in the Piedmont province of Italy was called  in Piedmontese, the native language of the region, but is now officially known as  after its Italian name.
The English and French name for Florence, also in Italy, is closer to the original name in Latin () than is the modern Italian name of .
Anglicization has both a political and cultural dimension.
Most Welsh and Scottish Gaelic place names were once anglicized when they were under English rule.
Now that they have their own local parliaments, they changed the official names back again.
In Scotland, however, few people speak Gaelic, so in most places the English versions are almost always used.
On the other hand, in Wales, where there are plenty of Welsh speaking people, all road signs need to be in both English and Welsh.
In American and Canadian football, offensive tackles (OT, T) are a part of the offensive line.
As is other offensive linemen, their job is to block the players on the defense from getting to the offensive player who has the football.

Rij-Rousseau was born in Candé.
From 1890 on, she lived in Paris and moved in an artistic circle with painters of the "Ile de la Grande Jatte" in Montmartre.
She was a student of Maurice Denis and Paul Sérusier.
Sérusier's had ideas about the relationship of music and painting.
She used these ideas to form the theory of vibrism, which is a combination  of Synthetic Cubism of the pre-war period and Larionov and Goncharova's Rayonism.
Juan Gris was a close friend of hers.
From 1911 on, Rij-Rousseau showed her works in Salon d'Automne, Salon des Indépendants and Salon Tuileries.
In 1920, she was a member of the artist circle called Section d'Or.
She  often traveled to South France, especially to Céret, and also to Germany, Belgium and Switzerland.
Her paintings were displayed in Zurich, Brussels, New York, and Boston.
In Aubusson and Beauvais' manufactories large-size tapestries designed by her were produced.
In 1925, she was awarded a gold medal for one of them in the first Arts Décoratifs' exhibition.
Also in 1925, Rij-Rousseau founded the Association of Modern-Age Female Painters.
She exhibited with Suzanne Duchamp and Marie Laurencin, among others.
Aside from Colette, Rij-Rousseau's biography was published in the book, Führende Frauen Europas by Elga Kern as a representative of French art.
Her fame did not last long, and in 1956 she died lonely, impoverished and forgotten in her great-niece's house in Savigny-sur-Braye.
Her final exhibition in Château de Blois in 1959 attracted little notice, and the whereabouts of the 70 exhibited paintings are still unknown.
Her estate has been scattered throughout the world.
Paintings are trafficked in N.Y., Chicago, London, and Paris.
Some works are in Parisan museums, in Blois, and in Grenoble, but especially in private collectors' homes.

Of Mice and Men is a novella (short novel) written by John Steinbeck.
It was published in 1937.
The story is a tragedy about two ranch workers called George Milton and Lennie Small.
It takes place in the 1930s, in California, United States.
The book is based on Steinbeck's experiences of being a ranch worker.
The title of the book is taken from a poem by Robert Burns called "To a Mouse".
When the novella was published, it was very popular and it became a best seller.
It was chosen by the Book-of-the-Month Club.
Of Mice and Men is often banned in schools because of the bad language, racism, questionable morality and violence.
It is on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century.
Lennie Small - a main character who likes soft, pretty things like mice.
Sometimes Lennie gets into trouble, and he needs someone to take care of him.
George Milton - the other main character, takes care of Lennie like a brother.
Lennie makes George's life difficult.
When Lennie gets into trouble on a farm, George must decide how to help him.
Lennie accidentally scares a woman and George decides he must save Lennie before the other workers can kill them.
Curley - the son of the boss, a mean man who is newly married.
He is very jealous and protective of his wife.
He takes an instant dislike to Lennie.
Slim - a tall man who is a jerkline skinner, that is the driver of a mule team, and everybody takes his opinion to heart.
He is the only person who Curley respects.
Candy - also known as the "swamper", is an old man with only one hand.
Candy also offers to work for Lennie and George if and when they get their own land.
Aunt Clara - who used to take care of Lennie.
She has died before the story begins.
She is a background character who is mentioned in the story, but of no special importance.
Crooks - a stable worker, called the stablebuck.
He is the only African-American on the farm and the other workers discriminate against him.
He has to sleep by himself.
He has been kicked by a horse, and his back has been painfully injured.
Curley's wife - a lonely and flirtatious "scarlet woman" is the only character in the story without a name.
This shows her purpose in the story: Steinbeck said that she is "hot."
Carlson - the cynical ranch worker who serves as an example of someone who went 'mean'.
He also convinces Candy to allow him to kill Candy's dog which serves as an important plot piece for the novella's ending.
Of Mice and Men is a story about friendship and loneliness.
It also talks about the American Dream: the hope that in America, anyone can become rich or famous if they work hard.
Of Mice and Men was made into a movie several times, the first in 1939, only two years after the publication of the novel.
This version of Of Mice and Men stars Lon Chaney Jr. as Lennie, Burgess Meredith as George, and was directed by Lewis Milestone.
In 1981 it was made into a TV movie.
This version stars Randy Quaid as Lennie, Robert Blake as George, Ted Neeley as Curley, and was directed by Reza Badiyi.
The most recent movie version of Of Mice and Men (1992) was directed by Gary Sinise (who also played the part of George).
He was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
The role of Lennie, was played by John Malkovich.
Both men had played these roles on stage in the 1980 Steppenwolf Theatre Company production.
Europe is a Swedish rock band.
The band was started by Joey Tempest and John Norum in 1979.

The Book of Tobit (or Book of Tobias) is a book of biblical scripture that is part of the Catholic and Orthodox biblical canon, put forward by the Council of Carthage of 397 and confirmed for Roman Catholics by the Council of Trent (1546).
It's listed in Article VI of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England.
Likely written in the second century BC in Palestine, Tobit is regarded by Protestants as apocryphal.
Also, it has never been included within the Tanakh (also known as Old Testament) as canonical by ancient Judaism.
However, it is found in the Greek Old Testament (the Septuagint), and Aramaic and Hebrew fragments of the book were discovered in Cave IV at Qumran in 1952.
Tobit goes blind and feels hopeless, but recovers his sight through the advice of an Angel called Raphael.
Also mentioned is Tobit's son called Tobias, who is traveling eastward to collect money, accompanied by the Angel, Raphael, who tells Tobit of a woman named Sarah who is looking to get married.
Her earlier marriages were not completed because shortly beforehand the man would always die mysteriously, which saddens Sarah.
This time, though, the man does not die and in the end Tobit and Sarah are happily married.
The story of Tobit is important for its teaching about guardian angels and for the need to always remain loyal to God during difficult times.
The Forbidden City, now known as the Palace Museum, is a large historical palace and an art museum in the historical center of Beijing, China.
The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is very important to the history and architecture of China.
The Forbidden City was the palace of the Emperor of China from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty.
For almost 500 years, it was as the home of emperors and their houses, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.
The name "Forbidden City" is a translation of the Chinese name Zijin Cheng ().
The name Zijin Cheng was used for the first time in 1576.
Another English name for Zijin Cheng is "Forbidden Palace".
The word Zi means "purple" in Chinese.
It means the North Star.
This is because in ancient China it was called the Ziwei Star.
In Chinese astrology the North Star was the home of the Celestial Emperor.
Because the Forbidden City was the home of the emperor on Earth, the Chinese thought that it was Earth's equivalent of the Ziwei Star.
Jin means "Forbidden" in Chinese.
This was because no one was allowed to go in or out of the palace without the emperor's permission.
Cheng means city.
The Chinese don't call the Forbidden Palace Zijin Cheng anymore.
They call it Gùgōng (故宫) now.
This means the "Former Palace".
The museum that is in the Forbidden City is called the "Palace Museum" ().
After Zhu Di became the Yongle Emperor, the capital of China was moved from Nanjing to Beijing.
In 1406 construction began on the Forbidden City.
The construction of the palace went on for over 14 years and more than a million workers had to work on building it. (
1406-1420)

The Book of Zechariah is a book of the Bible found in the Old Testament and the Jewish Tanakh thought to be written by the prophet Zechariah.
The name "Zechariah" means "God remembered."
We don't know much about Zechariah.
The book itself tells us only that his grandfather was Iddo, a priest who returned with Zerubbabel from Babylon.
Chapters 1 to 6, written in 520 BC, start by telling the nation's history as a warning to the people.
Then come eight visions, which show more about the history of Israel.
These are to give the people hope.
We are then told about the crowning of Joshua the priest.
This showed that their religion was being restored.
Then Zechariah tells that the kingdoms of the world will someday become the kingdom of God's Messiah.
Chapters 7 and 8 were written two years later.
The people were keeping days of sorrow to remind them of the loss of their city 70 years ago.
They are told that now they can now have days to celebrate the return home and can be assured that now God is with them and will make them happy.
Chapters 9 to 11 tell of a future time when the nations around them would be destroyed by an army, but Jerusalem would be kept from destruction.
This seems to have been talking about the coming of Alexander the Great with his army which happened in 332 BC.
Tyre was taken by building a land bridge from the shore to the island city which was thought to be safe from capture.
He also destroyed the city of Gaza.
But Alexander did not destroy Jerusalem when he came there.
Zechariah said that after these wars the Messiah would come.
Most Christians read the predictions in chapters 7 to 14 as talking about Jesus, either directly or indirectly.
These chapters helped the writers of the Gospels understand Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection, which they quoted as they wrote of Jesus’ final days.
One of these quotes is from Chapter 9, verse 9, "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, your King comes unto you: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon a donkey."
All four Gospels tell of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey and two of them say that Zechariah told of this ahead of time.
Books of the Hebrew Bible
The book begins by telling of God's judgement on the Kingdom of Judah.
Three times God says  "I will sweep away" in Chapter 1 verses 1 and 2.
This tells of total destruction.
In the Bible repeating three times makes the warning stronger.
The mention in Chapter 1 verse 2 of "humans and animals ... the birds ... the fish" reverses the creation order in Genesis Chapter 1 verse 28, showing the creation is being undone. "
From the face of the earth" is a reference to the Genesis flood story in Genesis, where it also tells of an undoing of creation.
This is very strong language of the coming destruction because of the sins of the people, corruption and injustice.
In chapter 2, Zephaniah also warns of punishment for many of the surrounding nations.
These will also be destroyed.
The nations mentioned include Philistia, Moab, Ammon,Cush and Assyria.
In Chapter 3, as is common in prophetic literature in the Bible, a "remnant" survives God's judgement in Zephaniah by humbly seeking refuge in God.
The book ends in with hope and joy, as God "bursts forth in joyful divine celebration" over his people.
The Song of Songs is a book of the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh, and also in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
It is one of the five megillot (scrolls).
The Song of Songs is also known as the Song of Solomon or as Canticle of Canticles.
It is known as Aisma in the Septuagint, which is short for ῏Αισμα ᾀσμάτων, Aisma aismatôn, "Song of Songs" in Greek.
Verse 1 seems to show that the author is Solomon, since it says that it is "Solomon's Song of Songs", but this could also just mean a song for or about Solomon.
So, who the author of Song of Songs was is still an often-discussed question.
If Solomon wrote it, it was probable that it was written in around the tenth century B.C. when Solomon was king.
In fact, the mention of the cities of Tirzah and Jerusalem so close together (6:4) has been used to say that it was written before King Omri (885-874 B.C.), even though people still do not know exactly why Tirzah was talked about.
However, many have also said that the language in the Song of Songs is proof of it being written much later.
Most people think that the similarity of language, style, tone (mood), perspective, and repeated words show that it was written by one author.
But others who do not think the Song was written by one person, or even from one time or place, say that this was because all of the Song's parts came from the same literary tradition.
"The Song of Solomon" by artist Tamar Messer, who is from Israel.
The Book of Isaiah (, Sefer Y'sha'yah) is a book of the Bible thought to be written by the Prophet Isaiah, who lived in the second half of the 8th century BC.
The Book of Isaiah contains many prophecies about ancient Israel, its people, and its enemies.
Tradition says that all 66 chapters of the book were written by Isaiah, but other theories say that some chapters were written by one or more other people.
This is mainly because they were about a later period and the text doesn't mention Isaiah after Chapter 39.
Isaiah, the son of Amoz lived in the Kingdom of Judah during the time of four kings from the mid to late 8th-century BCE.
During this time, Assyria was growing to the west from what is now Iraq towards the Mediterranean, destroying first Aram (modern Syria) in 734–732 BCE, then the Kingdom of Israel in 722–721, and Judah in 701.
The defeat of Jerusalem by Babylon and the exile of its top people in 586 BCE followed.
Chapters 40 to 55 are given to the Jews in exile, telling them about the hope of return.
This was the time of king Cyrus the Great – in 559 BCE he became ruler of a small kingdom in what is today Iran.
By 540 he ruled a big empire from the Mediterranean to Central Asia, and in 539 he conquered Babylon.
Isaiah's predictions of the fall of Babylon and his talk about the glory of Cyrus as one who would help Israel mean these prophecies are about the period of 550–539 BCE.
The Persians ended the Jewish exile, and by 515 BCE some of the exiles had returned to Jerusalem and rebuilt the Temple.
This is what the final chapters of Isaiah are about.
The first 39 chapters are messages about how God will judge his people for their sins.
All of the countries nearby are also to be judged.
Mixed with this are promises of God helping those who obey Him.
Chapters 40-57 tell about how God will deliver and comfort His people.
This will include the coming of a Messiah who will suffer for others.
This will bring forgiveness and blessing.
King Cyrus is said to be God's servant also to bring about the release of the Jews from exile in Persia.
Isaiah was one of the most popular works in the time from the building of the second Temple c. 515 BCE to its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE.
Isaiah's "shoot [which] will come up from the stump of Jesse" is mentioned in the Psalms of Solomon and Jewish books about the end of the world.
They thought it refereed to a/the messiah and the messianic age.
A very important part of Isaiah was the Songs of the Suffering Servant from Isaiah 42, 49, 50 and 52.
God calls upon his servant to lead the nations.
He is treated badly but sacrifices himself in accepting the punishment due others, and is finally rewarded.
The earliest Christians interpreted Isaiah 52:13–53:12,as a prophecy of the death and victory of Jesus, a role which Jesus himself accepted according to Luke 4:17–21.
Isaiah was held so high that the book was called "the Fifth Gospel".
Isaiah is said to be the prophet who spoke more clearly of Christ and the Church than any others.
Quotes from the book came into English literature and to Western culture in general.
Some of the text was included in Handel's musical masterpiece "Messiah" and in everyday phrases as "swords into plowshares (making weapons into farming tools)" and "voice in the wilderness" meaning someone whose advice is not taken.
The LORD is an everlasting God
The Book of Nehemiah is a book of the Hebrew Bible, thought to be a continuation of the Book of Ezra, and is sometimes called the second book of Ezra.
It is thought to be written by Nehemiah.
It is about the return from exile and the rebuilding of Jerusalem.
The Book talks about the struggles the Israelites face, such as when they rebuild the walls of the city, non-Israelite people are angry.
Another problem is the fact that people are not obeying Jewish law.
The Book of Obadiah is found in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the Christian Bible where it is the shortest book, only one chapter long.
It is thought to have been written by a person named Obadiah, which means “servant (or worshipper) of the Lord”.
Obadiah probably wrote the book sometime between 850 and 550 B.C.
