    aren't they a slimmed down version of Big Fun?

    Where are they from then?
    
    Mark
    
    PS Yep, they're nearly as insipid as New Prats!
    

    RE .2
    
    They're from Bournemouth.  Where all my heroes come from, like... 
    Oh I can't remember any at present.
    
    RE .1
    
    I think they are worse than Big Fun.  They are produced by SAW, whereas
    Yell thought of doing this song all on their own!  I'm sure they think
    they're cool.
    
    I once met a person from the west country (Wincanton, Somerset) and he
    thought Michael Jackson was the leader of fashion.  He really wished he
    could wear the leather suits with the straps and buckles, just like
    Michael.  It seems that Yell, and Big Fun are like that.

    Hey Mattyb
    
    I'm from Bournemouth! I suppose you thought everyone there was still
    over 65 and rolling around in bathchairs and listening to Max Bygraves!
    
    I don't think that Yell are representative of the music scene in
    Bournemouth (which is pretty varied). Bournemouth has a hell of
    a lot more clubs than Basingstoke or Reading, no disrespect meant
    to commuterland Yuppies! :^)

>>      (no disrespect meant to country bumpkins)

        Like Neil Young ??

        oblig thing ----> -;)

        - Tim

    Sorry, I really like Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch etc.  I used to
    go there a lot when I was little.
    
    Also just 'cause I live in B'stoke doesn't mean I like it.  I almost
    hate the place, and that's why I'm moving back up north.
    
    What I meant was nobody famous ever came from Bournemouth, Tinita
    Tikaram (Yuk!) comes from Basingstoke, and Tessa Sanderson (Javelin
    thrower) comes from Reading.

    RE.5
    
    Does Neil Young go `Ooo Arrhhh'?  If so then he's a country bumpkin.
    
    
    
    Matty

    Can anybody post a Tessa Sanderson discography here please?
    
    Bob

    And a javelography aswell please.

    Lets get back on track!
    
    You must agree that `Instant Replay' is a vast improvement on the
    original, and tat's it is obvious that Yell are going to be the
    biggest, most talented band since the Beatles.
    
    Does anybody have the record?  Is the b-side `Born To Be Alive'?
    
    
    Matty

    I remember hating "Instant Replay" the first time round, and I had an
    instant replay of that feeling when I heard it this time.
    
    
    Rod

    Yeah but don't you sense these guys have something better to give the
    world?
    
    
    Matty

    
    I take back anything that I said that might even possibly be construed
    as support.
    
    These lads are appalling! Back to the building site boys!
    
    Mark
    
    They can't REALLY come from Bournemouth, or maybe they were expelled!
    :^)

    I think they're fab.
    
    After watching them on TOTP last night I can't decide which one I would
    like to be.  The one with the blond hair looks sooo cool and macho,
    while the other one has such a great voice.
    
    
    Matty

    
    They seem such lovely boys.

Instant Replay is pretty harmless really. I thought it was just a remix.

Mark.

    
    
    I heard somewhere that they do their own choreography - I mean the
    way they punch the air when they sing "I got to have it"  - such
    an innovative dance style.
    
    And re last, yes Instant Replay is pretty harmless....what's nauseating
    is that these talentless lager louts in tight trousers will become
    millionaires before the end of the year!
    
    
    I think I'll go home and dig out Joe Jackson's "Pretty Boys".

    Well, why didn't you have a go then ?
    
    Mark.

    RE -1
    
    > Why don'y you play then
    
    That's not the alternative.  Talented groups are the alternative, such
    as the stuff coming out of Manchester.
    
    
    Matty

    
    Other than New Order, who can you mean?
    
    Mark

    What what what!  The man who knows his SS$_normal  can't think of Mancy
    bands!!!
    
    Mikef

    
    There is no  truth in the rumour about SS$_normal and myself having
    a knowing relationship. I only had an idea about where it might
    be! 
    
    Mark :^)
    

    re .19...
        
    
    The truth is Mark, I have played in umpteen bands for years, some
    very good, some not so good.  But I don't *look* like these guys.
    I'm not suggesting that I had/have the talent to make it, but I do
    know that these guys certainly don't.
    
    But as the wee man says, they got the look.  An that's all that
    seems to count these days.
    
    A good example is the Dundee band Danny Wilson.  I haven't heard
    a more talented band for years, but they're not "pretty boys", so
    bang goes the hype.

    Hey, I don't want anyone to think that I *really* like Yell!

    I don't think so, it might clash with the Bros one that you sent
    me - even though that one's facing the wall.

RE. 25

This 'band' obviously DO have the talent to make it because they HAVE.

OK, maybe this talent is to play crappy happy songs, and look pretty. It sold
their records. I don't particularly LIKE this sort of music, but I certainly
don't dislike it either.

Stop complaining, and start convincing Joe Public he should buy your records
instead of theirs!

Mark.

    I don't know why, but when I'm in a nightclub and a record that I don't
    like comes on, I just can't dance.  The vibe dissapears, and I get
    depressed.  Silly really.  When I go the the *club* in Basingstoke I
    have moods depending on what they're playing.
    
    The DJ plays some house, and that's OK, and then some early 80s synth
    pop, and that's great, and then invasion of SAW.  That's when I go to
    buy a round!  I get really depressed when they play the 60s mix LPs.  I
    like the 60s stuff to listen to but, for me the music of today has the
    right vibe for me.
    
    The point I'm trying to make is that throw-away-music doesn't have any
    place for me.  I just can't forget what I'm dancing to.
    
    
    Matty
    ps. serves me right for going to Martines.  I'm not going on Wednesday,
    that's for sure.  (I hate valentines day - nobody loves me - Boo hoo)

    
    
    >> Stop complaining, and start convincing Joe Public he should buy

    Unfortunately, to get to Joe Public you have to get to a record label 
    first, and then get on the Radio 1 play list etc etc...

    
    The streets are littered with talented bands Joe Public never got
    to hear because they just didn't have "the look".

    re.34
    
    Luck? luck? luck? (he repeated for the second time with and even
    deeper sense of incredulity)  I actually feel quite sorry for them,
    they really ought to receive some sort of compensation for being
    such prize p!ll0ck$, that or get imediate psychiatric (sp?) help.
    
    Paul

    I have got to agree, this group are the worst thing since 'BIG FUN',
    I much prefer the original version by 'Dan Hartman', I think it's
    an insult to him. Does he know it's being re-issued by these plonkers?.
    
    
    
    Martin

    OK,
    
    Who is worst : Big Fun or Yell!
    
    I vote for Yell!
