PS.  I think if the 12" collection could be like the Pet Shop Boys B-sides
double, and better yet like the Japanies Depeche Mode's X1 and X2.  That
probably would be asking to much.  Oh well we can dream.

Subject: SV: (yello) Yello (MP3)

Hi, my name is Niclas Jacobsson and I have been lurking around sometime now.
I have a friend with an ftp server. He could setup an account for the list
that we could use. The connection is pretty fast (2Mbit).  Sorry for my
lousy english. :)

I have had a couple of positive responses to my initiative. What I would
propose now is to find simply a popular mp3-server and send those files
there. How about one of the servers that can be found on
http://www.execpc.com/~pmj/mp3/ ? Has anybody had any experience with those
servers yet?

Subject: (yello) Blender

From the results of the survey, I was interested to discover that
"Blender" was the worst track for a number of people, personally it was
the best (narrowly beaten by Sometimes Dr. Hirch). I thought I'd explain
why I like it.

A tense, mysterious beginning, low bass, then a helicopter. Has it taken
someone away? Or dropped someone off? The bassline is wet, precise
percussion, if you listen carefully you can hear the sound of life.
Laughing, living, blending...

Random Tox, speaking to the housewives of the world, selling to girls,
sales talk, but it's not fooling her.

Vacuum cleaners suck, and so can the life associated with mundane living.

What makes her come alive is leading, dominating, living life on the
edge, who needs to be tied to kitchen appliances when there's a welcoming
world in clubland, she dresses to kill, she controls, she doesn't need
him, but he's privileged enough to share the experience with her, he
drowns in her power, her purity, and she takes it right to the limit.

This is the song for me, very powerful, very emotive. I'm also lucky
enough to have such a woman in my life, she's at home with the mundane,
but in the night she leads. I love to see others reactions to her, the
way she dresses, what she's not afraid to do, she has power, but whatever
technology is created for her life, she will always beat it's
sophistication. I'm hooked on her, she's changed my view of the world.

As the song says
"They always know who I am, what I do
She gave me no wink
Just a smile of her hips
And a sip of my glass"

Maybe that's why you guy's don't like it? It confirms the power women
have. Me? I just go with the flow!

Jungle Bill from the same album is another powerful track, I noted quite
a number in the survey put this as the worst album. For me this album
speaks of the power of the woman. I feel very comfortable with that.

BTW, A typo on my reply to the survey: Pat Metheny, not Pat Methenty!
Enjoyed that survey!
Best regards

Hi Yello-Friends,

        I am Looking Forward to Some New and Exciting Tracks By Yello. I Do

Hi,

        There Was Some Concern About the Existence of Tracks from Existing
Albums on My Site.

        These Tracks are Available for Those of Us Who Want to IntroDuce
Yello to Others Can Use this Site.

        All Activity on My Site is Monitored Daily. Those That Abuse YELLO
will be Banned from Access to My Server.

        I Think This is Fair Enough. The Other 12GB of Music is NOT
AvailAble to AnyOne, Is It Not Clear Where I Stand???

        I am Going to Create Another Directory on the Site Right Outta The
Yello DIR for Those Who Want to Introduce to Your Yello Friends Some New
Music That We May Want to Purchase. Please Get Us Some SAMPLES!!!!!!!! I
Will Toss A Couple of My Favorites in This Location for Starters.   Please
Put the Name of the Group or Artist in the Front End of the File-Name Before
UpLoading, and Also Breif Us All from the List Telling Us More About the
UpLoad!!!!!


This Should Work-Out Great!!!!

Subject: (yello) SAMPLE Some NEW Stuff

Hey,

        This Group Obviously Has Excellant Taste in Music. I am Sire I Am
Not the Only One OPEN to Discovering What Else the Other Yello-Lovers are
Listening to When Not Listening to Yello.

        Like I Had Mentioned Earlier. My Site is Up, and Open to You People.
The Directory for SAMPLES of Other Artists or Groups will Be a Sub-Dir of
Yello Called SAMPLE OTHERS.



I Started the SAMPLE OTHERS Area with a Couple of My Own Other Picks:

MARS LASER "The Eleventh Hour"  NEW AGE   (VERY VERY Feisty Synthesizer
Music for NewAge)
        -Those with the Reproductive Systems Should Scope Some Mars
Laser!!!!
        -The Eleventh Hour Album Has Several Tracks with the Q-Sound
Encoding Technique On. NEAT!!!

Mars Lasar Released His Debut Albbum in 92 Called   "Olympus". Since Then 3
Others Have Been Released     "Eleventh Hour"   "Escape"     adn the Most
Recent "Sapphire Dreams"

Both Olympus and The Eleventh Hour are VERY Rich in Dynamic Content. I Also
Think That MARS LOVES 1st Octave Alot!!!! He Goes Out of His Way to include
Plenty of It!!! (Yello Like)

The Second Song:

Cirque Du Soleil   "Let Me Fall"   New Age   Mellow to VERY Exciting
Synth\Ambient Music.
        -They have VERY VERY Clean Ambient Recording.
        -"Quidam" is a Great Album to Start with.

This Group Deos the Music for the Famous Circus Acts Outta France Called
"Cirque Du Soleil"
        -WonderFull Circus Production. The Music\Costumes\Acts are
UnBeleivable!!!!
        -Each of Their Albums is Actually a SoundTrack to Their Particulair
Productions.
        -Found in Either New AGE or SoundTracks.

**Don't Know Whether This Will Catch?? If it Deos Though, I am Looking
Forward to Experiencing the Music That Others on this List are
Enjoying!!!!!!

PLEASE SAMPLE These Two Artists and Many More (I HOPE) from My
Yello-FTP-Site

Just a small correction.  It's Mars Lasar.  Not Laser.  His music is
wonderful.  Also look forward for a future album by him with his wife singing.
Forgot the name of the group that he is going to call it, but if you really
want to know I could look it up.
Also lets not forget about William Orbit who is a genius to me also he is
producing the new Madonna album.  (probably will be the best one with William
producing and all).

Not being a "lyrics" person- I hardly know what the song was about. I chose it
as my worst track simply because I *did* notice the lyrics. I thought the song
wasted a fantastic hook by utilizing the blender metaphor.

    I agree. The first time I heard it I tought "hey, what in the

I don't know if Yello appeals more to males then females, but one of
the reasons this list is dominated by males is probably because there are
much more men on the net then there are woman.

Perhaps, perhaps not.
I could think the reason is the www. People just browse. If it is
not browsable, then it is not interesting enough. Most of the women
come in to network after www.

Also, generally, how many man/woman collects some particular musician?
I think more men than women collects records.

I'm in believ that collecting is for filling (partial) loss in social
life. Even heard about it in some TV-program. Generally women has bigger
social life than men and simply has no time to get interested in, for
example, to some particular band.

So, that is a good reason why we have more men than women here.

Juhana

I think the point is that it should be the decision of the artist (in this
case) yello,
whether they want to distribute free previews of their work this way or not.
Whether MP3s benefit them or not is not really important. You wouldn't want
somebody to make decisions on you behalf, just because they think something
is better for you.

I'm especially interested in a song called "Rednecks". If anybody has this

I think both replies to this topic have touched on some pertinent
aspects of women and collecting. I think there is  line drawn where
women can simply appreciate something for what it is; where men
have to "own" it.

Regards, FG

P.S. some other questions I would have liked to see:

1.  What is your sign?
2.  Is Yello your most collected,second most,etc
3.  How many (approx.) pieces to your collection?

     The Grammy contest has pop up screens for the catagories, who knows
