Zebra video, anyone?

>From: Laurens van Graft > >"NO MORE (choice)WORDS" as it is just like trying to kick the "ZEBRA" >in the as*! Anyone has the Zebra (How How) video in mpeg format? That is the format used in DVDs. Size and quality should be that of DVD. When I first saw the video in MTV, the as**ole was pink. Then next time MTV had removed it, if I remember correctly. I would like to have the one with pink as**ole. ;-) Please upload to "ftp://ftp.funet.fi/incoming/audio/" before Xmas.

Durch Die Nacht
by Rory Filer 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

Well I just finished watching the whole hour. And as luck would have it, I got 50 minutes of it in full-format DVD so it was nice seeing it again big size. Quite touching in some ways and disturbing in others. I wonder how they selected Bryan Ferry of all people. If the artist had to be from the UK there are plenty of other choices that might have been better. I couldn't help getting the feeling that Bryan was thinking "I only have to put up with this for a few more hours and I can fly back to my cozy apartment in London". Would be interesting to know who picks the guests on this show and how? For me, the best part of the hour by far was the first part up to where they got to the restaurant where Dieter plays the guitar. It really "jumped the shark" at the clothing store. Not knowing anything about how these outings are planned some of the choices seemed very strange. What? Did they want Bryan to buy some clothes or something? The only thing that made it bearable was Dieter's charming way of bringing things down to earth - e.g. hamming it up in the clothing store and breaking the awkward moment playing guitar by comparing himself to a bellydancer. There might not have been any awkward moments, though, if it had been an artist other than Bryan Ferry. Mr. Ferry seems to be a melancholy fellow indeed. And reticent, too. The billing for this particular episode of Durch Die Nacht mentions that words to the effect that "a friendship starts to grow between the two men". The only evidence I saw of this was in Dieter's store where the chat was free and interesting and Bryan expressed an interest in visiting Argentina. I found this the most enjoyable part of the program. After that, Mr. Ferry seemed to draw into himself more and more. He liked the Maybach, though. And what was the stuff with this Christophe guy? He grabbed focus and never gave it back. Like one of those overweight cats that comes into your library and sits on your book when you're trying to read. All in all though, a great and intimate visit with two great musicians which reveals much about their respective personalities. Really nice and I hope we get to see more - a documentary of Dieter's life in Argentina would be cool. Cheers all Rory

Re: [Yello] Bootlegs, Copies, 2nd Hand items, and being a fan...
by Tasha 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

I am pretty sure I have mentioned this in a previous e-conversation, but sometimes I go to gemm.com (global electronic music m-somethingorother). That's where I find my cheap Russian releases... .. . and the $400+ "gold" Yello cd/dvd (don't even remember other than it was outrageous and I think someone on this list had it free) Regarding the ebay e-conversation - I have been having computer issues and missed part of it, but I too think I got suckered on the whole dvd thing. But as my dvd player isn't working right, (i seem to have lots of problems with electronics!) I wasn't sure if the problem was the obviously bootlegged dvd, or just my player. my two cents - yello bootlegs don't bother me, this issue is so gray these days, and I know this will sound lame - but really folks, how much money could I possibly make selling YELLO bootlegs? How much money could these people possibly be taking from Boris (as Dieter obviously doesn't need any). I love Yello to pieces, obviously, and would gladly but dollar bills in their waistbands of their pants if they would let me. My personal opnion on bootlegging in general is that there should be a certain amount of profit involved before it is considered a crime. How much profit - I dunno. $500 a year? If you just copy stuff and get twenty bucks for it, you are not making a profit. well maybe that was more than two cents but there it is. ---------- Original Message ------------- Subject: Re: [Yello] Bootlegs, Copies, 2nd Hand items, and being a fan...

I have notices an increase in the number of people interacting on the messageboard, as well as the YELLO FORUM (you can find your own link) but there haven't been any additions to Jonn's photo gallery of us YELLO devoutees. There are only nine images. There's got to be more than nine of us out there! I don't know about you folks (guys and gals, dudes, hombres, Mensch, ...) but I like to be able to put a face on the name of whom I'm communicating with, and due to the internet, therre's a lot of global communication. Unfortunately, I can't travel as easily as an electron, so there ain't a hope in Hades that I'm going to be able to meet all/any/most/some/one of you face to face. I actually had fun creating my photo on my front lawn, even though it was -29 C (-20.2 farenheit), with the moon shining iin the background http://homepage.mac.com/jonathankamm/YelloSites/PhotoAlbum46.html See you all (at least you'll see me)....

Re: Yello Digest, Vol 21, Issue 3

Ok, here's my two cents. Whenever possible, buy legally made and distributed material (DVDs, VCDs, or whatever), even if it costs more and/or you have to wait longer for it to be delivered. However, if a product exists and the distributors (for whatever reason) are unwilling to release it to your part of the world, then I don't think its wrong in a moral sense to acquire it through ebay, newsrooms, or whatever. That said, I want to stress my belief that acquiring anything bootleg should be considered only as a last resort. Anyone who takes the time and effort to contribute something positive to this world, such as misters Blank and Meier, should be fairly compensated for their works. Actually, if anyone is to blame for loss of revenue (in this instance), its the music distributors who hold back the release of Yello material in certain parts of the world and creating authorized stuff that will only play in certain regions. A lot of people who buy bootlegged stuff aren't out to screw the artists, but are otherwise loyal fans who simply want the same access their favorite artist as everyone else. About the profanity...its just tacky and shows disrespect to everybody.
