What is senseless? Is that a new movie? Is it released yet?

Subject: (yello) Being Serious and New List

Hello Guys and Gals,

There are a number of items in the 95 digest which I feel need a response.
Firstly, it would appear that the daft humour of James is rubbing off on Daniel!
We now have a 'divine intergalactic mystery' and sarcasm relating to 'To The Sea'!
I can see why Jonas is suggesting a 'serious' list. Don't get me wrong, I like a
joke like anyone else, but you really must make it clear somehow so I don't waste
my time giving you comments that are not really wanted. We can all wind people up
by posting all sorts of nonsense, but that is not the purpose of this list, is it?

Secondly, the fact that this digest (95) only arrived on my desktop today is a good
example of why we need postings more often. Nathan says that this 'list' subject
has been done to death. This is the first time I've read about it, mainly because
the 95 digest spans 7th December to 10th December (except for poor Daniel who's
still back in 1st Jan 1996 - Happy New Year Daniel!). I know a lot of you are not
on the digest and get mail every day, and subsequently can respond and debate
quickly. I personally don't want individual mail that needs to be filed daily, but
receiving four days worth is a bit too much. You see, we all want something different!

And finally..... I can't see anything wrong in Jonas setting up another list.
Those who go there and like it, will use it, and those who don't like it, won't.
As he has said, he won't stop posting information to this list, so what's the
problem? I haven't looked around for other Yello lists as this one has so far been
interesting and fun. How many other Yello lists are there?

And finally, finally - am I still in line for the prize? (1949!)

Move (to another list if you wish).....Dance.....Be Born
Mike

Subject: (yello) yello blasphemy!

This was seen on the Art of Noise mailing list. Just thought I'd let everyone
in on it as I've been a fan of both since their inceptions and this guy's
thoughts pissed me off:

...Number two, if you want to hear AoN get thoroughly ripped off, go listen to
"Essential" by Yello.  This album is soooooo much an AoN rip it's sad.
After Yello made it big with "Oh Yeah" they dropped off the charts here in
the U.S.  I can see why.  This album, a greatest hits collection I believe,
has blatant elements from just about every AoN track in the catalog.  I mean
race car samples, drag race announcers, guest spot samples from The Fat
Boys... you name it.  There are three or four tracks that could have easily
been named "Roller 2" "Roller 3" etc. for their similarity to "Roller 1."
There are horn samples that are very "Dragnet" and others that sound very
"Kiss."  There are moments of brilliance on the disc, but the best tracks
often are ruined by stupid lyrics.  Almost every song is about driving, or
includes the word "games."  Sad really... they had so much potential.

Subject: (yello) 2 Lists

Just some thoughts:

1)  If Jonas wants to start his own list, let him.  It's a free world.

2)  Unless Jonas vets each message he may find it difficult maintaining his
list as a "serious" list.

3)  I subscribe to the digest version of this list.  It takes me only a
couple of minutes each week or so to read the messages (except when there
is really heavy traffic).  It means I am not 'up to the minute' but that is
not so important to me.  The digest version is not for everyone, but some
who find it tedious clicking through dozens of more 'lightweight' e-mail
may prefer it to leaving the list altogether.

I hope that whatever happens with the lists, the quirky, lighthearted,
fun-loving  nature of all of us Yello fans will prevail.

Cheers,
Chris

I saw Dieter in a Talkshow here in Germany !
He told that a new album will come next spring !
Also he mentioned the film they are making the music for.
 think he was there promotional for his ReWatch.
I saw a small film about the production of the ReWatch.

So, unbelievable, but all the things i read in this mailinglist seemed to be true ;-))
