On January 1, 2010, Cornell alluded to a Soundgarden reunion on his [[Twitter]] account writing: "The 12-year break is over and school is back in session. Sign up now. Knights of the Soundtable ride again!" The message linked to a website that featured a picture of the group performing live and a place for fans to enter their e-mail addresses to get updates on the reunion. Entering that information unlocked a video for the song "Get on the Snake", from 1989's ''[[Louder Than Love]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1628964/20100104/soundgarden.jhtml |title=Soundgarden's Chris Cornell announces reunion |last=Kaufman |first=Gil |date=January 4, 2010 |work=MTV News |publisher=MTV Networks |access-date=January 10, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100114021623/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1628964/20100104/soundgarden.jhtml |archive-date=January 14, 2010 }}</ref> On March 1, 2010, Soundgarden announced to their e-mail subscribers that they would be re-releasing an old single "Hunted Down" with the song "Nothing to Say" on a 7-inch vinyl record.
