Nice photos alright. Couldn't get to the cooking article - seems like you need a subscription to log in with. It's all in German too so that puts paid to it for most of us. I liked Blue5 and Blue6 the best, but Dieter needs to straighten a couple of his photos! /RF ________________________________ From: yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of VIALLE Gregory Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 1:45 PM To: 'The moon: beautiful.

Re: [Yello] YGSYTAE on 150 gram?
by Charles Bronson 27 May '05

27 May '05

Regarding below: "I have all the early Yello albums on Vinyl and CD and the newer stuff on CD. I even purchased the recent German re-pressings of Clara Qui Si, and You Gotta Say Yes.. on 150 or 150 gram vinyl, but I'm not planning on opening them. " Did you mean Solid Pleasure instead of You Gotta Say Yes... in regards the 150 gram vinyl? I bought SP and Claro but have not heard of You gotta available as a reissue. That would go nicely with the promo poster for that album I just bought at eBay (awaiting its arrival). By the way, a friend of mine runs a shop in suburban Chicago, Illinois, USA: The Old School Records. To my pleasure and dismay I learned he was stocking the Claro Que si reissue...mad 'cause I just bought direct from HitThing and paid up the ass for postage (twenty euros, yikes) and at a crummy exchange rate. Old School is selling for only $23. Any US fans can let me know if they want it becuase the store will ship it. I don't know if I can plug his shop on the list but I will give you the info direct at your request. Dave Gilleran

No doubt you guys will know that the new album from Royksopp is due out mid June !? Already being play in Southern Ca. Pretty good, from what I have heard already. For those of you not in the states (Which I think is most everyone) Try _www.KCRW.COM_ (http://www.KCRW.COM) Go to listen and find morning, evening or weekend becomes Eclectic, or Open Road, interesting shows with hundreds of new and different bands. Lots of fun and always something new to discover. Peace all. Russ Southern Ca.

Really looking forward to the remasters and new album. Chris

Dave here, Ever since getting on this list I've been trying to remember the 1st time I heard Yello. I was absorbing so much new music in 1983 after discovering that used record stores existed. I know it was '83 and I've narrowed it down to three possibilities: 1) "I Love You" on Detroit radio WLBS 2) "Pumping Velvet" on Detroit public radio WDET (a definite memory and an amazing jolt when I heard it) 3) or, the most likely one: seeing "Solid Pleasure" for $3.00 at a used store...I picked it up, because, hey that cover! Saw it was on Ralph (Residents fan) and asked the clerk to play it. Those first notes of "Bimbo" hooked me in three seconds. No way I wasn't buying that record. I used to put dates (that would help to remember) on the inner sleeve but long ago sold that copy when I got the pressing on UK Do-It instead and wanted to keep only one (curses...wish I still had it). As for stats: 38, male, Chicago, Illinois. I have an extensive collection vinyl and CD and am currently on the hunt to fill any collection gaps via eBay and my many friends running local stores (I worked in record stores for ten years). I'll never match Jon Kamm's collection, though he has helped me by selling a couple items. My desert island pick would have to be Solid Pleasure. From: "Jonas" <zetterman(a)home.se isn´t Matt Johnsson = The The ? As for The The, I prefer Soul Mining and the 12-inches surrounding it and the 1st LP, Burning Blue Soul. The others, fo r the most part, have aged less well.

Re: [Yello] World Y'd - Drummer here

Hi, J Pagan - I'm a drummer in four different bands - one reggae, one classic rock, one jazz and I'm one of two drummers in Blues Patrol - an excellent Blues Brothers tribute band, with, the BEST looking "Jake" ever, and a BETTER car than the one in the movie! LOL www.bluespatrol.com - have a look. I've also done tympani and orchestras, as well as being a bagpiper and eventually the Pipe Major in a Pipe Band. So believe me - I've had my weird share of outfits - and music - and guess what? I love it, say thankya. My percussive influence is mostly Yello (of course), followed by Bob Marley, and Ozric Tentacles, which MANY people think is some weird stuff. NEVER hang your head in shame - everybody likes some form of music, and in my experience, for every person who doesn't like your style, there are three that do ;-) And you wouldn't BELIEVE how many people I've turned on to Yello. I play "Oh Yeah" - they say "Wow - I remember that", and then I give 'em a listen to Stella, or Baby, or One Sec, or whatever, and they're hooked. Anyway, my point is - if you love what you do, love what you play, and love what you listen to, never hang your head..... Okay, time for a group hug ;-) RohanOz

I'm 35/m from North Carolina, US. Only recently, having spent the vast majority of my life anywhere in and between San Francisco and Seattle(yeah it's a bit of a change of scenery and people). One Second was the first album of Yello I heard-turned on to it by another friend. Hard to say which album is my favorite, as I'd have to create my own "best of...." that'd take tracks from just about all their releases. My more-ish favs are Zebra and Motion Picture. Other artists that get my nod are Art of Noise, Kraftwerk, Adam Starr, The Orb, The Fireman (that little known Paul McCartney release), tangerine dream, Chemical Bros., Sneaker Pimps, Groove Armada, and gee.......a million others.

Hi Chris Welcome to the list. I bet listening to The Race while watching a 'cycle race would be awesome. I'll have to give that a try myself! As for The The, I enjoy the music almost as much as Yello, though the lyrics are hard to take sometimes. I picked up an album of theirs about 5 years ago (can't recall the name) with great expectations and only liked 1 track - a nice acoustic one. Start contract to the cacophany that was the rest of the album. In my view, only Yello has the staying power to be able to produce fresh music after all these years.Someone else on the list said Yello is a parody of its former self. I disagree with that, although the music has clearly changed. Be careful about saying stuff like this though. I once made a comment that I thought Boris was having "issues" during the production of Pocket Universe and it provoked a couple of irate responses to the list! Watch what you say! Generally, this is a good list with usually excellent content.

I'm also a musician. Hell, I even get paid for it,(it's my primary miniscule income) but I wear tails and white tie when I perform (blech!): yes, I'm an orchestral musician. (hangin head). I always wanted to do electronic music. I even took a course while in college, but all my play money went into hi fi gear instead of keyboards etc. "The better to listen to Yello with," said the big bad wolf. Hey Rory, I was visiting Vancouver w/ some friends in the mid/late 80's and managed to find Luv A Fair. They played the BEST music. It was very early in the evening, and the put on Si Senor the Hairy Grill. I about had a heartattack I was so excited. My friends dragged me out of there before things got good. --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Check email on your mobile phone.
