Go the mailing list and the forum!
Yello everyone I will certainly be participating in the list as well as the forum when time permits. I have already missed out on a few days of Yello at the forum, mainly due to time. I think its great to have both options, and what about if Julz of John could combine the recent posts from the forum into the mailing list??????? Ford Fairlane is a great movie Shaun, I don't have pay TV but I do have a video shop nearby. I must be honest and say that Unbelievable is probably one of my least favorites, it just never really felt like Boris at his best. Has anyone got the cassette of Flag, I listened to it today in the car and it sounded like shit, I then put in YGSYTAE and it sounded loud and crisp. Both cassettes are original. Any ideas why? Who's heard Dieter sing 'The privilege of Waiting on 3rd street pt1'? Who knows of dieter singing a song called something like 'Gotta Be'? Maybe a duet with someone else? CU Paul
I've had tapes get squealy, literally, when I've played them over and over and over and over (like YGSYTAE). They get wound too tight, supposedly you can kinda tap them on a table and shake them lose, but I've never had much luck. Lots of times tho, they will sound fine in some other tape player. That's when I left one at home and my mother found it and liked it! My mom can be pretty cool! (except she likes Yanni too, eewwwww) -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Paul Jones Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 12:47 AM To: 'yello@mailman.xmission.com' Subject: [Yello] Go the mailing list and the forum!

You can use fast wind to loosen up a tightly-wound tape. You can also get a tape head demagnetizer. An old tape player will pick up lots of magnetism over time - one good way to magnetise a piece of metal is to rub a magnet against it, and cassette tapes are rubbing against the playback heads all the time. Demagnetising the tape head won't immediately make your problem tapes play perfectly, but regular maintenance will prevent this from happening (and don't loan your tapes out, either). [ That's when I left one at home and my mother found it and liked it! [ My mom can be pretty cool! (except she likes Yanni too, eewwwww) Hey, Yanni isn't 100% bad. His first couple of albums were genuinely impressive pieces. Electronic orchestral. But then he decided that he wanted to date John Derek's ex-wife, Linda Evans. (John Derek [rip] is the guy who married Bo Derek, she was his 4th wife and actually lasted until his death). Somehow, Yanni thought that by writing sappy songs for Linda, he could win her heart. Well, it actually worked, and they did date for about 9 years. But those of us who were fans of Yanni, enjoyed the first few good albums, and went to several very impressive live performances - we had to run screaming from the sappy stuff that came out later. For a performer using electronic instruments like synthesizers, who recorded in multi-track digital studios when they were brand new, Yanni managed to create a really powerful live show. He hired several musicians to learn all the parts of the music and play them live, instead of using sequencers. That way, the musicians could interact and keep the music in sync with each other, rather than to a computer clock. The first tour I saw had a live drummer and three keyboardists, including Yanni. The next tour had an even larger band, with electric violin, a horn section, vocals, keyboards, and drums. Groups like Tangerine Dream had more computers on stage than people - at least in that era. I imagine that Yello live (which I've never seen) would be best with a full band of percussion, ethnic instruments, and real drums instead of simply playing the Logic Audio files from their studio.

I guess I been pownd! oh well. I will chalk it up as education. But I still don't like it when I accidentally happen to hear Yanni. Hey, if Kraftwerk could be such innovators, and I thought their last album was total crap, then I can accept that Yanni has / had talent also. Like my dad used to say about Liberache - "I'll bet he cries all the way to the bank" - when people like me make fun or criticize. touche. I think another potential reason some of my favorite tapes started squealing, is because they tended to spend more time in my car, which was never parked in a garage - you get the idea (hint HOT Texas sun). I was always losing those little pieces of felt the tape rolled over and never knew how to fix it (or was too lazy, proabably). -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Laurens van Graft Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 9:29 PM To: The moon: beautiful.

That little white piece of felt is(was) rather critical, as it helps press the tape against the playback head, ensuring that you get the best possible sound out of the tape.

Pop ups are advertisements that just open and flash across the computer randomly and usually in the middle of trying to conduct a transaction and messes up or delays what you are working on... I do have pop-up blocker if I use Netscape, but I don't like Netscape and then I still get some pops. I never would have known a Mac or PC made a difference. I don't have the ipod or mp3 thingies either. Well, the household has an mp3 player but i never figured out how to use it and don't even know where all the wires and plugs are. My AM/FM/TAPE walkman works just fine for me (until I lose those little felt thingies)! Do you or anybody know if those CD walkmans that advertise themselves as being "jog proof" actually work? -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+tourguide=austexecotours.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Laurens van Graft Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 8:36 AM To: The moon: beautiful.

Only if they have lots of oversampelling ie: 10 or more seconds, it corrects skips that way. I wouldn't bother, just stick with the MP3 Laurens van Graft The Grip Guy All your gymnastics grip needs right here!

The most inportant thing I found With Cassett tapes, and their Players is that the tape heads and pinch rollers on the tape player have to be kept clean! every 10 hours of play, clean the heads with a cotton swab(Q-Tip to plug a product) and the pinch roller. I often notice that some of the top coating of the tape gets left on the roller... you can see a brown patch in the centre of the black roller the width of the tape. If this gets too thick, the tape actually sticks to the roller and voila, a dead tape! Laurens van Graft The Grip Guy All your gymnastics grip needs right here!
