Subject: (yello) I Love You

While we are on I Love You. I have this
    LP: 1984 IT (Stiff; STLP 1017)
          3:11  I Love You (alternate mix?)
          3:30  Lost Again (alternate mix?)

And that I Love You is more like the one in Essential Yello
than the one in You Gotta Say... CD (German).
I'm not sure about the Lost Again -- it is different anyway.

Hi!

Someone told me Yello made a cover version
of Tina Turner's Nutbush City Limits, released
on the sampler CD "Trans-Europe Swiss-Italian
(techno)-crossover". Eh? Never heard of it,
I got a chock!! He told me the version was crap,
but anyway, Yello made it!!!

Also, what is Eleonore (Meier) actually saying/
singing in Jungle Bill (single versions) - something
like "I can't sing, no dancing" or whatever. This has
been annoying me for ages!

OK, Merry X-Mas!!!!!!!

Hello everyone hope your holidays went good and a Happy new year!!!
  Well Im still jealous of Georg I cant find On Track anywhere the local
record store had it and its one that I dont go to often and they had it and I
missed it by a week and if was laying around there for a while he said (Im so
bummed!!).
 I was lucky to find the song on a Dj service CD.  It is very dancy so I dont
think its what it sounds like but at least I get to hear something.(usually
they totally re edit the songs so I wonder what the real one sounds like?)
  Also I dont know if any of you listen to Inga Humpe but on her Oz CD he
thanks Boris and Dieter who know why maybe they're friends.
    happy new year    Julian
oh Ps  the Dj service CD is from  "Direct Hit"   Sector 6

Subject: (yello) genre question

One of the things that amazes me about yello is their ability to integrate
such a wide variety of dance music.  You find everything from ska to mambo
to techno in the same song, and it all sounds natural together.

Recently I have been really getting into one particular thread in Yello's
music that I don't really know how to define.  Fat brass sounds, catchy
trombone riffs...  sort of big-band meets salsa, I guess.  In particular,
the cuts that come to mind are "The Race" and "La Habanera" although there
are lots more.  My question is this:  from which sources do Yello borrow to
create this particular hybrid?  I know it all kind of runs together, but I
am interested in finding a more "distilled" source of that sound.  Is this
too vague?

Along those lines (but a little less Yello-related), is there anyone out
there who can recommend some good rock/pop/punk bands that really use brass
instruments well?  Right now the things that come to mind are the Clash, Les
Negresses Vertes and the New Bad Things... a pretty disparate group but I
love that sound...

Thx,

i thought it was just a general latin american style rhythm, with a lot
of mambo thrown in for good measure... and it sounds great! i love 'On
The Run', especially loud when driving fast.
through most of ther albums there has been a south american motif be it
in the song titles or the musical style (eg Pinball Cha Cha - a
combination of the two). to me its a very particular, stylish rhythm; i
like it & hope they continue with it.
cheers all

I _love_ this style!   Flag and Baby had plenty of it, and I'm dying for
more...

Oingo Boingo used to have a great brass section, up until their last album
(where there was virtually none).  They're about the only rock group I've
ever heard that used brass in 99% of their songs, and it added some nice
"flavoring"...or something. :)

Subject: (yello) how's your recall

Anyone recall an article in the late '80's that referred to Yello as the
"Swiss Devo" ?

Also, there was a short run series about two years ago on FOX that was called
"The Edge" . A SNL/ Mad TV sort of thing that featured Julie Brown
("Homecoming Queen"-not "downtown").

The theme song was a variation of "Si Senor The Hairy Grill" (guitar only). I
wrote FOX to  1. Applaud them for having a trace of good taste  2. Ask if the
proper royalties were being paid.

A week or so later I saw the show with a different theme song???

Good to see so much activity coming from this newsgroup. Keep it up!

>Yello as the "Swiss Devo"

I wonder why? I happen to have this Total Devo CD which is far from
good. For example, drum sounds are way too hard and monotonous for
my taste. Yello instead mostly does have very ''kick ass'' drum sounds
which are powerful but not ever annoying as the traditional hard snare
Devo is using all of the time.

But, it was a small disappointment to hear such standard drum on Yello's
Tremendeous Pain song of Zebra. Though, that drum is not as hard as
Devo's.

If you like banging your head to wall, you like Devo. Would anyone
like to get the Total Devo CD I have?

Actually, that's probably Devo's worst album!  Yeck. :)  Their sounds have
changed several times from the 70's to the early 90's, like most
bands...not always for the better, but sometimes.  Not sure why someone
would compare them to Yello though...I might see some vague similarities in
their innovation and quirkiness...

Hi!

First, A Happy New Yello Year 1997!!!

Secondly, I would like to give you a preview
of my updated Yello Page, at:

<http://www.algonet.se/~jonwar/yello.html>

It does not only consist of my famous (?)
non-LP tracks list anymore, but I have now
started on a complete discography. I've got
some good cards up my sleeve for this page,
and I won't tell you what they are, but I can
assure you some surprises later on.

I know that there are alrady some Yello discogs
on the net, but mine will be a little different...

Finally, a comment on a "Yello Club". We already
have one: the mailing list. What else do we need?
We're the true Yello fans, aren't we? The only thing
missing is an *alive* official Yello page, to inform
us about coming releases - this is our real problem!

Regards,

Jonas Warstad

Yeah, I feel compelled to speak up in Devo's defense here...  Even though
they put out a few terrible albums their classic stuff is incomparable to
anything else.  I wouldn't necessarily connect them with Yello, although
Devo did a lot of pretty cool video stuff too...
