From: "JENNY LINDSKOG" Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 12:21:04 +0100 The problem isn't, as obviously some ppl think, that we don't care about what Mike does. As far as I'm concerned, Mike's a part of Level 42 just as much as Mark is. It's the fact that I don't hear about him. Just the other day, someone wrote about Mike playing a concert. If I'd known about it some months ago i might have been able to plan ahead and travel to London to see him. However, I live in Sweden, I don't expect Mike to come here and play and even if he would I'd still wouldn't get to hear about it until it was too late. I can't even get his new records so I don't know what to say about his new stuff. He was great in L42, wonderful voice and lovely keyboardplaying. When ppl find out when and where something happens to Mark you can bet your lily ass that the list hears about it the next day. It could be the same with Mike but apparently it isn't. Why? If all of you who are complaining about Mike not being recognised as a great artist made an effort to tell the list about what he does, when he plays and start new discussions then things might change (!) for the better.

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. >> Whoosh!! That was just a tad bitter! Hey Brian, sounds like you could use a vacation in some nice urban locale with cultural diversity, friends who don't let friends drive drunk and the sex crime laws are enforced!! Seriously, wherever you are, get the hell outta there!!! Even if it's just for a day!! I understand how you feel about St. Patrick's Day. SOME not all people make it an excuse to get sloshed without giving a care about how crude, boorish or even violent they are when they get drunk. So maybe you can start your own celebration (I always thought Scotland's patron was St. Andrew but I'm not Scottish so I wouldn't know) and show 'em how it's done. And maybe you can find the folks who know how to mark St. Patrick's Day without losing their minds. They are out there. I've met 'em. Peace:-) ------------------------------ Subject: The Prince's Trust Concert Volume 2 (1987) From: RPERSAUD12 @ aol.com Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 13:20:22 EST Hello, This is for anyone who have the DVD copy of the Prince's Concert-1987. Take a look at the inlay booklet and see the bit written by Mark King. There is a slight mistake. It says the he was from MANCHESTER. Did he take a slight detour before the IOW? Hello again to all the people who turned up to the Mike Lindup night at the Bartok. All the best! Raymond ------------------------------ Subject: RE: The Prince's Trust Concert Volume 2 (1987) From: RPERSAUD12 @ aol.com Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 13:23:30 EST Sorry, I meant the part written about Mark King and not by him! Cheers Raymond ------------------------------ Subject: Instrumentals From: "Martin T. Best" Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 18:27:15 -0000 Hughsie, I'm with you on this one. My favourite L42 tracks are instrumentals - POA, F&E, Mr Pink, 43 - it's how the band started, after all. I think too often bands feel they have to have lyrics just for the sake of it, and the results often bear this out. It's gibberish, mostly, and often unintelligible. Unless you have something unusual or different to say, let the music do the talking. That's a cue for me to shut up, then. Regards, Martin www.sniffout.net/home/martinbest p.s. Sorry for the delay in getting the Phil Gould pics scanned - I have to rely on the charity of others for my scanning, but I will get there... ------------------------------ Subject: Schofield From: "Martin T. Best" Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 18:32:15 -0000 Anthony R: Dennis Chambers' two drum tuition videos were shot with the John Schofield line-up you mentioned. Utterly awesome. I've got a dodgy audio tape of the soundtrack. DC really is on another plane - self-taught, too!! Regards, Martin. ------------------------------ Subject: drumming From: "James Wild" Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 00:12:01 -0000 Hi all, Reading the recent posts about cool drumming by Phil brought back a memory of when I first really noticed how phil gould was a musician and not just a drummer in a band. It was 1984-ish, i was still at school and had been into L42 for about 2 years, but had only heard them on radio or vinal. Then Channel4 (british tv station) aired a short series called "Play at home" involving bands of the day, and one show centered around our hero's returning to the IOW, to a youth center and teaching/jamming with local youngsters. Interspersed through the show were various bytes of live performance, including a drum solo by phil, which absolutley changed my world. Ammazing!!! Not long after I persuaded my dad to buy me a ticket to the next show at Portsmouth Guildhall. Never looked back. Incidently, if anyone knows how I can get hold of this footage(including the rather cheesey rendition of tie a yellow ribbon)) please let me know. Keep on livin' it up.

Let me know..... I certainly do!! Knowing how hard it is to vote on a favorite song (allways depends on time of day/year...), but still I think PoA is the best. It has so many fantastic details, the `flow' of the song is great and I love Mark's vocals ;-) bye now Bass regards, Huge Rademaker Get your Free E-mail at http://come.to/level42 ____________________________________________________________ Get your 100MB FREE Internet storage!
