From: James.Gillett@iceland.co.uk Subject: (yello) Cult film Date: 01 Dec 1998 13:24:47 +0000 I hope Yello's film becomes a mainstream film rather than a cult film. Yello's music etc. is for everyone to enjoy - and I hope that the film isn't made just for Yello fans. By mainstream, I don't mean that Disney would buy the franchise and then start distributing 'Lightmaker' toys in outlets all around the world, It's just that I hope as many people who aren't Yello fans get to see it.

Very good descriptions of Yello I think. They are certainly unconventional and anybody looking at one of their videos would think them an odd couple. So on the face of it, quite a good title for a Yellow album. There may be a deeper meaning of the word 'Eccentrix' though. Daniel. OK. Hint understood. I take it you meant 'rubber', being a continental phrase for condom? Is there really a town in France called that? Not the sort of place you'd want to tell people you were visiting!

At a more deeper level, again we come back to that argument about what is normal in music. The dictionary definitions of music, often refer to some kind of ordered sequence of sound, (perhaps someone can also define the definition of music to the list..). A personal view is that it is at a very fundamental level; - hard to state where the boundaries of music end and the boundaries of sound begin. I think this is the argument that Boris would put across himself. - "Any sound is music to me," Before getting into the age old argument about what is "art," I suppose I just have to accept that to most people, 'Yello's' music, is eccentric, in that they are not sound prejudiced, - they will use any sound as long as it works in the track. Then again, they do do 'dance' music. They are both original and yet conform. I know for a fact that many bands, who regard themselves as original would not dare put the sounds/ sampling that Boris incorporates into their music. Infact - and here to me is the crux of the matter - there seems to be a duplicity in many bands that say - "there's two guitarists, a drummer and a singer - and we're more natural than any band that's around....at least we sing from the heart...as opposed to all these anonymous bleeps that are produced by electronic bands...." But are they more natural? Surely a band that; if it likes the sound of a basketball bouncing around will use that , or " a wet newspaper slapped against a wall, " is at least being "more" honest and saying"Yes, we like that sound, and we're gonna damn well use it," as opposed to the many, many bands who were once mates, then started a band, and *then* (God forbid!) started doing "gigs." It's just that to me Yello's approach to music seems entirely natural, even if it's way off the scale of what is accepted as a normal form of music. Does this say something about society's taste? In terms of artistic taste, there seems to be a very powerful mechanism of conformism at work today - spreading across fashion, music, and perhaps everything we can describe as artistic. The greater the uncertainty the higher the level of conformism between the people involved. Let's be honest, - in the working week,or when people enjoy themselves at the weekend, - most people really do not care about what I am arguing about above - (which includes about how all artists create their work.) The luxury of being able to discuss music at length over the Net, is entirely relative to other people'sidea of luxury. Indeed, music is certainly low on the list of priorities when you have certain responsibilties and commitments. Perhaps the conformism of the club-culture is very much a bi-product of the reality of everyday life - and Yello's music, which while being a pleasure to listen to - is distanced from this daily routine of survival, - hence my guess that someone from Mercury came up with the title 'Eccentrix.' Just a thought.

I've started a new Yello mailing list, using the excellent = service offered by OneList (www.onelist.com).=20 I feel there's a need for a new list: for the "busy" fans who don't have = time to read lots of more or less relevant postings, but who still want = to stay in touch with other Yello fans and read news whenever there are = any. One advantage is that I get information directly from Yello Office, = and I can also answer most questions.=20 I don't say that one list is better than the other, it's just that = different people have different needs. If you want to join my new and more "serious" list, please go to my main = Yello page at: http://www.algonet.se/~jonwar/yello.html It only takes a few minutes to register at OneList, but if you're = certain that you want to join and don't have the time to register, then please just send me an email with "join Yello" as the subject, and your email address followed by your name (all on one line) in the body of the = message, and I'll do a "mass" registering on Sunday. I accept this "quick" registering until Saturday 12 Dec, 6 pm CET (Central European Time). After that you will have to register yourself at OneList (which is = really easy). Everyone is welcome.

Does this mean that all fans who regard themselves as serious will be subscribed to one list only, or the other? Will we all be on both, getting mixed messages, cross posting, posting replies to the wrong list (this list is configured reply to sender remember), getting just the same amout of irrelevant postings that any list will get as natural noise. Sorry, but I don't advocate it, if this list does 'split' into two, I will not be able to afford the time to attempt to work out which message came from which, and who I should reply to. In the shorter term it'll confuse all and increase the noise (we've not all been on the 'net for 5 years plus), and irritate the hell out of me. If it happens, I will unsubscribe from this, and not subscribe to any other. It was suggested on another list and rejected out of hand, and the mesage volume constitutes 2-3 _digests_ per day on average. Other views (flames?) on this welcome, echoed to the list membership please. The list is the members, not the owners/organizers.

I got the impression (though it certainly wasn't explicitly stated as such) that Jonas list would be primarily a means for him to distribute news items or announcements on Yello, and not a general discussion list. If indeed it is an announce only list (probably moderated to control the quality of posts), and all messages posted to it are cc'ed to this list (by the list server), then I'd support the concept as a good idea. (Jonas should also repost newsworthy items that appear on this list to his list.) Separate announce lists are a great idea in my opinion, and I wish more music related lists had such companion lists. I know I'm on several other music lists where the volume is so high that I tend to rarely read them (they get automatically filed) and I miss out on the newsworthy items among the noise. I know Lazlo (the owner of this list, yello-owner@xmission.com) has such announce lists for other lists he runs. Perhaps, if the above was Jonas' intent, the new list should be created by Lazlo so subscribers can find both lists in the same place and chose which is best for them. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic tmetro@vl.com Newton, MA, USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mathias af Jochnick Subject: RE: (yello) New mailing list Date: 09 Dec 1998 11:28:38 +0100 Nope, I don't see the point with another list either. /Mathias # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Eric.Schader@gambro.com Subject: RE: (yello) Ages Date: 09 Dec 1998 12:20:01 +0100 > I was actually born in the early 1992.

My guess is that most of the people interrested in joining a Yello mailinglist are already subscribing to this one, so I don't think it's going to be like 40 extra messages a day just because there's two lists. As already said, there's just so much news you can discuss and then that's it. And when the noise is off, then my guess is that it'll be a relative quiet list. And that's probably good for those getting loads of messages every day. (Unlike me, I might add.) I'm subscribing to both list, but I don't mind the *noise* on this list. I only think it's spices things up -Making a little Yello-cozyness. In my mind this is still the main Yello list (in fact I'm working on a special 'recommendation' for this list, to put on my site, -waving to you Lazlo :-) ). My only hope is, that people will keep from crosspostings. Hopefully we all have enough netiquette to respect, and support the idea of having two lists. Let's give it a chance. You have my support, Jonas. And btw, now when you get more time from not reading *noise*, one can hope that your book will be out sooner :-) PS Jonas, don't let James in on your list. He'll ruin it.

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.

Date: 10 Dec 1998 21:12:17 EST 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.

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.

Anyway, at onelist the mail as such always start with a "from" line, giving the name and = email=20 address of the sender. And it always ends with the following text: To unsubscribe from this mailing list, or to change your subscription to digest, go to the ONElist web site, at http://www.onelist.com and select the User Center link from the menu bar on the left.

For you they are boring. So one thought came to my mind. Dieter is the director of these videos. You find them dull. So he is a wretched person, yes? Let's see. The music is the first thing, right? Lyrics is not important as much as the music. The proof of it is that when you're listening to the music, the first thing you're noticing is music, isn't it? All the music is composed by Boris. Dieter's voice isn't so strong to call him a good singer. So he is a bad director, he is not a good singer and he never have an influence on the music. He is NOTHING. (As for me, I don't think so) It means that if Yello could split or if Boris could make another collaboration, then nobody would care. Best, Olga (Patient).

Of course if someone lacks in one area of talent, it doesn't mean that person is devoid of ANY talent. Is Dieter totally in charge of making Yello's videos? Most artists prefer to get professional directors to do their videos, and even though they have some influence on the style, it's the director who really makes it happen. It sometimes takes someone completely independent from the making of the music to bring a new vision to making a great video. I recently saw a little documentary on Busta Rhymes, and the director he likes and often chooses to direct his video. If any of you have seen them (especially the new one for "Gimme Some More"), they are fascinating works of art; their own genre; and completely unlike any other "rap" or "hip-hop" video. They embrace images that both compliment and heavily contrast the music being played. So don't 'throw the baby out with the bathwater.' Any of you might strongly dislike Yello's videos, but that shouldn't take away your love of their music. davy # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: David John Subject: (yello) More News Date: 22 Dec 1998 23:57:13 +0100 The mysterious person by the name Oliver has mailed me this: At 25.1.1999 is the official date for "Excentric."

I've seen a 1-track 'gold' (Ooooo!) recordable acetate of 'To The Sea' for sale from a fairly well known UK music mail-order company. I enquired about this with sales staff and they said it was a master copy of the single used in the recording of the UK single. However, due to it's fairly low price (?35) - just how 'rare' is this? Are there any recording experts who can clarify whether this really is rare, or if its one of several master copies used in production.
