Norman ------------------------------ Subject: From: Hughes Paul J Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 13:15:43 -0000 Dean - what about a similar bit of drumming on 'Coup D'Etat'? The milk bottle solo on the extended remix of 'You Can't Blame Louis' also takes some beating! Does anyone share my massive appreciation of the earlier, instrumental tracks - particularly 'Mr Pink', '88' and 'Pursuit of Accidents' ? Let me know..... Keep on Funkin' & Up The 'Ammers HUGHSIE ------------------------------ Subject: songs on the radio From: "ZTAVENDL" Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 13:06:18 -0000 Hi Level heads, just like to say that my dad reckons the first Level 42 song he ever heard (he's not really a massive fan, but he appreciates the fact that the band as a whole were truly great musicians) was "43", on the radio years and years ago, when working on my mum's car. Now, I assume this is true, but apart from "Lessons in Love" and "Sun goes down", I have never heard a Level 42 song. Thought I might of interested some people there, probably not, but hey who knows, perhaps Jazz FM do play great music! ------------------------------ Subject: new subscriber... From: sbocskey @ webtv.net (S. Bocskey) Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 08:59:36 -0500 (EST) ....I think this forum is fantastic. I've been a Level42 fan since '85. "Something About You" brings back great memories of spring break in Florida in '86. Friends and acquaintances have heard of Level42 but don't know much about any other releases except "World Machine". I D.J.'d in clubs in my early college years (will hit 33 this year) and I hold "Starchild" responsible for blowing my vehicle's speakers on the 60 mile trip home after an evening of spinning in '88!.....8^]. I love the music/lyrics! It has been fun to read all of the other entries in the newsletter and I feel better that there are others in the world who feel the same. CHEERS from Michigan - USA! Keep it up! Check out my website! http://community.webtv.net/sbocskey/BOCSKEYBITS ------------------------------ Subject: Happy Birthday Mike From: "Jose Planken" Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 16:46:03 -0000 Hi All, First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE- (yesterday, by the time people get to read this) One more year before hitting the big 42! Just to let everyone know Mike's-and Post Pop Federation's-performance on wednesday night was great. There was a super relaxed atmosphere as the interior of the Bartok lets you just sit back-in some very old comfy furniture-and enjoy the music. I was really surprised at how few of us actually turned up for the gig, compared to what we're all used to from the Mark-gigs. I'm sure lots of you will all have very valid excuses for not being there, but let me just stress the point that Ray Persaud made two Digests ago: Level 42 didn't just consist of Mark King. Anyway that's enough of me trying to be bossy and trying to make you all feel a little guilty, No Seriously, as I said, we all had a lovely night and it was an honour to be in the presence of a person whom is so talented, yet so calm and level-headed as Mike. Thank you, Mike, You are inspirational! Take care, everyone, stay funky! Jose ------------------------------ Subject: NEW TO THE NET From: jakeenan Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 18:49:35 +0000 Hi My name is Jules and I have appreciated L42's sound since 1985- despite the fact that I have made only 2 purchases from their vast collection (yes I know, it's shameful). They are "Something about You"-7", and the recent CD "V.Best of L42". Listening to this takes me back to the 80's when music WAS music ( T for F, Spandau's, Duran's, The League.....etc)!! "It's Over" is the ultimate L42 track for me. Class or what. If there is a song to get melancholy over, this is it! Essential for chilling to after a tense day of teaching. "Leaving Me Now" is another I can't resist--dulcet tones of MK are AMAZING!! Must be going..... JULES ------------------------------ Subject: Did someone say something???? From: "Brian Flint" Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 11:50:08 PST Mr. Fly, Did you something to me a few days ago. If so, I wasn't paying attention. Let's see what I can Lie to all of you about today. Oh, who was correcting my grammar? I aint cared no more from that. I finally recieved my fretless in the mail. or was it I hath recieveth el basso??? Anyway, I can't afford much, but it's real nice. Proof again that the cost is not always proportional to the quality. sO TOday is St. Patricks day, the day when all us americans pretend we are Irish. Now, I'm Scottish by decent, so the thought of being Irish for a day isn't too exciting. We should have a St. Wallace day or something. Maybe Bagpipe day, I don't know. But any excuse to drink Miller beer dyed green seems to pique the curiosity of most of the red necks around these parts. I wonder what flavor the combination of green dyed Miller High Life and Skoal Long Cut is. A common past time that I'm sure the idiots around believe is Irish in heritage is adjusting carburators. Don't get me wrong, they do have jobs, but hauling lumber isn't exactly a Drinking game. It is however more closely related to ireland than they realise what with all the forests Ireland USED to have. Other activities will include the annual (quarterly actually) Check Point game. The player that successfully navigates through the most sobreity check points is the winner. The losers are usually awarded the consolation prize of a Court Date. The younger folks have their activities brewing as well. The common game is called "Breakin the Law". They start drinking (even though underage) early, then spike the girls drink with their favorite incapacitating drug and attempt to have their way. It appears that even the once revered hard work of acheiving a one night stand has gone by the wayside with soda fountains, walks in the park, and, well, swing dancing. Now the losers can just drug the girl they fancy and avoid all the tedious small talk. Well, it's always fun to count how many felonies are commited in a twelve hour period of time. So, now that St Patricks day is over, I hope we all can reflect on some goodness that improved our lives over the years. peace and be merry.

From: Sean Green Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 19:23:39 -0600 Well, Just as a fun little activity, I recorded a demo of "All Over You" using my MIDI file that was made a while back. Anyhow, you are free to check it out at: http://www.flash.net/~questps/All_over_you.ram Please let me know what you think about the file. The sound quality will suck a little because of the compression of Real Audio. Even so, it's kind of fun to listen to. I recorded this on the home studio system, all the music, vocals, and playing is done by me. Hope you like it. It's kind of fun. ~Sean -- *********** "The MIDI Extreme" *********** * http://www.flash.net/~questps/midi.htm * *** For the best MIDI files on the net!*** ******************************************
