                                           As an unconventional musician
and performance
                                           artist, Dieter Meier enjoys hu=

                                           Together with Boris Blank, he
exercised
                                           considerable influence on and
helped to shape
                                           the European and American tech=

c) one of my favorities in music

2. When did you became a fan?

a) in the period of 1985-91

It's an awesome album.  It shows Boris Blank at the peak of his musical
perfection.  Pure euphony.

4. Do the members of your family like Yello?

a) yes, I think it helps to understand their music better

6. Do you like to watch their videos?

a) yes, I like it

   And probably worth while listening to more than anything else.


> 2. When did you became a fan?
> a) in the period of 1985-91
   'The Race' swept me of my feet.


> 3. Do you like Pocket Universe?
> a) yes, it's a very good album
   One of the best for as far as I'm concearned!


> 4. Do the members of your family like Yello?
> a) yes, they like it
   Especially my brother. But still, I'm the freak when it comes to Yello.


> 5. Do you like to read the information and articles about Yello?
> a) yes, I think it helps to understand their music better
   I like to read the information, but I'm not sure if it helps me understand their
   music better (I'm not even sure if I want to fully understand their music, I will
   always stay a listener having my own thoughts and feelings when it comes to
   music, like with other forms of art, I like to be provided with just the product,
   the title and the general philosophy behind it and let my feelings and mind
   drift away from there... they hand me the material, but the power is mine).


> 6. Do you like to watch their videos?
> a) yes, I like it
   But I only saw about 3 or 4 of 'm.


> 7. What do you like more about Yello?
> a) their music
   It will always remain the most important aspect to me.


Groeven,
Olaf.

Subject: (yello) More love

Hello mailing list.
    Whoever said that discussing wives and girlfriends has no place on the
Yello mailing list is completely correct. That, however, doesn`t stop me.
I`ve just seen GI Jane and I`ve now fallen in love with Demi Moore. She is
gorgeous, hard as nails and swears alot! What more could a 28 year old
maniac want??
    I was talking to this excellent girl last night. She was also gorgeous
and I nearly fell in love with her. But then I got too drunk and all I can
remember now is that she had blonde hair and her nose was pierced. Such is
life.

Subject: (yello) Hello Yello ;-)

Hello,

i am new here in this list.
My name is Stefan Vallbracht and i come from Germany.

I'm a great fan of all music from Yello.
But from the first time i heard Yello i know
only a few people who knows Yello and there music.

So i'm glad to find this listing !

What about new realeases from Yello ?
What about Concerts with Yello ?
Did anybody knows anything news ?

But to hear music is not the only thing for me.
I'm an musican too and I think you'll find
influences of Yello definitely in my music.

Perhaps you should visit my WebSites:
http://www.airman.de

if you want.

And sorry for my english ;-))
