Hi everybody,

For a couple of days Yello Strom (an affiliated company to Energie Baden
Wuerttemberg) have been offering electricity in Germany. In wonder how they
could adopt that name, I would have thought "Yello" was a protected name.
Anybody any idea?

Greetings Kay

I can't speak to how trademark law works over there, but in the States a) you
have to explicitly trademark the mark (which as far as I know Yello hasn't
done) and b) the protection that gives you only works in cases where the use
of the name might cause confusion in the marketplace (I don't think Yello
sells electricity in Germany, nor is anyone likely to think they do based on
Yello Strom's use of the name :-).

"Mello Yello" is a popular soft drink in some parts of the United States...

LIkewise, I'm not aware of the how things are there, but if Yello applied for
international trademarks I bet there'd be more confusion. Anyway here in the
US several companies can have exactly the same name, and have it registered.
this is only possible if said companies literally have nothing to do with
each other. On a local and state level, for example, say, a flower shop in
Dallas, SF, LA or some back country village in Montana can all have the same
name, and register the trademark in their states. Likewise a butcher shop can
register the same name because their business has nothing to do with flowers
and does not create any competition between them. Once articles of
incorporation are filed, however, the corporate gene pool starts to dry up.
the companies can still keep their names, but ONLY if they cannot be
connected to each other in any way. Also of importance, many names and
slogans cannot be trademarked, copyrighted, or patented because they are too
common of a name, an everyday word used in X worldly language, or too many
versions exist as to create unneccessary confusion among the masses. Another
area is copyright, which is far more difficult to explain, and has greater
controls on names and products. However, a large corporation could possibly
own several types of busineeses with similar names or trade words and gain
control of the use of all of them in one shot, as such is happening in the US
with corporations now owning TV, radio and print publications within the same
market.

Dear all:
In listening to Pocket Universe, really listening for the first time, I
thought about the opening and closing spoken word pieces and I thought
Dieter's his voice was just the kind of thick rich kind of forign sounding
voice that corperations are always looking for to talk about them in
comercials.  I can visualize him hawking Hondas or even Audis, or Xerox
copiers or something.  Has he ever done any ads?

I forgot to mention the comparison part in my last email.  Concerning Dieter
as a possible pitchman I was thinking of a comparison between him and Ken
Nordine.  Ken Nordine is a very well known (if you heard his voice)
commercial pitchman who also does albums of interesting material.  His most
well know was an album called Word Jazz and one called Son of Word Jazz back
in the early 60's.  He work is spoken work poetry (similar to Ginsberg or
Keroac) with background music.  In his early work he used sort of tripy
jazz, nowadays he has kind of spacey background to his work.  From
everything I've heard he is a very well respected artist, despite his
commercial work.

This sounds very interesting. Are these albums easy to find? And is Ken
Nordine the voice in most of the movie trailers? This sort-of-Dieter-Meier
kind of voice.

Subject: (yello) Yello vs Rammstein
Date: 21 Aug 1999 12:32:36 +0200


Hi

A few days ago I listened to my girlfriends brothers records and found an
album called "Rammstein live at the Max" when listening to the song
"Sehnsucht" I found it very very familiar, it contains the weird arabic
sounding voice from Nr5 on the Pocket Universe album. It=B4s probably a
common synth sound but it would be funny if Rammstein listens to Yello and
samples them. It would be so tremendously great if Rammstein and Yello made
a song together. Rammstein are not only a brutal hardrock band, they
contain a lot of synth and construct their songs after a kind of eurodisco
blueprint, where the disted guitars act like sequensers.=20

Rammstein has the same kind of cinematic qualities that yello has not
really so obvious but close. The emotions Rammstein create are also of a
very different kind than the ones you are given by Yello. I have became
almost addicted to Rammstein while doing my workouts, they can give you a
very controlled agression that I have never experienced in any kind of
music before. I guess many of you have heard "Du Hast" (You hate/have) if
not I recommend you all to do that. I have to point out that I am not a
metall fan but "Du Hast" is a song most people can listen to and enjoy.=20

Rammstein have been victimized for being nazis, that is hard for me to tell
if they really are but interpretation of lyrics can lead to almost
everything. I mean if I say that "The race" is song about sex, it=B4s
probably hard to prove that it isn=B4t. I recommend you all to try to find
Rammstein songs and listen to them without prejudice.

Thank you for reading my very strange hangover thoughts of the day.

One more interesting fact about Monolith. The same samples of Russian
Orthodox song were used by Army of Lovers (Swedish pop-band if somebody
doesn't know) in one of their last songs called Requiem (1995). It was the
same (not similar) samples ( much smaller piece though)! Strange fact, isn't
it?

Subject: (yello) Hi!
Date: 29 Aug 1999 15:15:24 +1200


Hi fellow Yello fanatics (sounds kinda catchy...).  Just joined the mailing
list, and kind of glad to find other similarly afflicted human beings, at
long last (excuse the strange punctuation, English is my first language,
after all ...).

I'm a fairly long term Yello fan (of some 13 years), and was horribly struck
down with the bacillus Swissus Groupus Yellous after seeing two rather
strange looking blokes wearing angels's wings and prancing around a strange
looking set on the one and only Eurotube tv prog in 1986. (The Tube for
those that don't know was a horrific 1980's music show on the UK's Channel
4, and EuroTube was a showcase for music happening all over Europe at the
time.)

The music?  Well, I'd heard nothing like it before, and the next day me and
my younger brother, who was similarly struck senseless by this extraordinary
sight, pottered off to our local record shop (HMV) and bought (between us
... it seemed only fair since buying two seemed a wee bit ostentatious) the
gatefold sleeve double twelve inch edition of Goldrush (for that was the
tune, mlud) ... and I've never looked back since. (My younger brother has
since fallen under the mystical influence of Sir Cliff Richard ... strange
lad).

Anyway, I thought that I would throw my inhibitions to the wind and join
this exciting mailing list (although with only two mailings on the last
edition, I may be talking to myself ... no change there, then).

Still, some thoughts:

My top 3 Yello Tunes:

1. She's Got A Gun (Live at the Palladium N.Y.)
2. Haunted House
3. At the moment it's: Monolith, Ballet Mechanique, Desert Inn, 3rd of June,
Tool in Rose, L'Hotel ...

Top 3 Yello Albums:

Not possible, Guv ... I go through phases ... although at the moment, I am
listening to Pocket Universe and Claro Que Si quite a bit, but this might
change.

By the way, it took a couple of listens for me to get into Pocket Universe
but since I've gotten into it I find it to be as good as certainly
everything up to Flag (Baby and Zebra, although fine in their own ways with
some fantastic bits, as a whole I found kind of (dare I say it) average
Yello LPs!!!).  So put me in the 'I think that Pocket Universe (apart from
the mad Dieter bits) rather cool, actually' camp.

And thats about it for now.

See you soon ...

H

Haunted House and Tool In Rose are very good for my part too, I hope they

Hi,



I love the images, Yello's music can create in the mind,
The beautiful landscapes of sound.
It is just wonderful, and good driving music :)

I am thinking of making, a Yello Interactive Multimedia CD
With Video , Images,  Sound clips, rare clips  and some of my
own Yello remixes..
This will be made in a flash presentation,
what does everyone think?
Any ideas?

A juicy bit about a new album by our duo to be released in november... it

2)
