I've been looking at some lives that some other bands have done. That's definetly what Yello needs to do too, or they could realease the video of them at MayDay (I'm quite sure that it is one, some place). Chris

I guess their older stuff (from early-mid 70s) is supposed to be a bit more catchy and 'ground-breaking'. I'm going to try to pick up their first couple of albums and decide from there. You have to admit though, "Betty's Body" is kinda catchy. And it's one of their newer tracks too... Are there any Residents fans on this list? Cheers, Rob

Hello everyone! I'm on Jonas Wårstad's Yello mailinglist and in a news mail today, he said that Yello's new album probably will be released early next year. I can't wait for it! I have also made some new Yello backgrounds (much better than the previous). If you "love it, you need it" just send me a mail. By the way, Suite 904 (the single version) sounds very much like a live. A pity that it isn't. Chris

The Residents (was "Dadaism in Dieter's lyrics")
by Rob_King 20 Sep '02

Well, I think we are all forgetting how much of a important influence the Resident's music were on Yello. After all, they did attempt (and succeed) in getting signed to the Resident's label at the time in the early 1980s. I bought my first Residents CD this past weekend, called "Petting Zoo", released this year. I recommend it to listees who are not afraid of listening to avante garde-ish, odd music. It was a compilation of some of their more accessable work from the past 30 years. Although the music style is a bit different, the lyrics are hauntingly similar in style. That is, they seem to tell 'stories' of sorts, much like some of Yello's output. However, most of these stories don't seem to make a lot of sense (on first listen, anyhow). I will note that none of the Resident's songs on the CD were love songs, so that's one style that Dieter and Boris came up with on their own in later years. Anyhow, I just thought I'd throw that into the mix. Cheers, Rob
