Yngve snakket om at vi hadde fått vårt første ikke-norsktalende medlem når Philippa ble med... men hun kan jo både lese og skrive norsk. Hvis noen føler seg tråkket på, og ikke forstår norsk, så si ifra. (hmm, hvis noen ikke forstår norsk... hvordan skulle de da forstå den setningen... ehh..) Siden folk synes det er en god ide med en fan webside, så har jeg begynt å lage den. Tine: jeg tenkte adressa for websida kunne bli "http://listen.to/velvetbelly" Høres den grei ut eller? Christian: flott at du fant noen bilder, er veldig kjekt å ha litt bilder å bruke ved design av webside. Om du har tid, mulighet, og gidder, så hadde det vært fint om du kunne fixa de bildene du har tatt selv over til elektronisk format. Ellers tar jeg gjerne imot alt av ideer og forslag. - ------- Daniel.

Guess to whom? I don't have to tell you that, do I? I would suggest that we make up a couple of tapes to them and mail them to their manager (I got the address). On the tapes we could put songs that we want them to hear and/or something spoken that we would like to tell them. I can do the mixing, so if you got something to contribute please mail it to Yngve Hauge Sollivegen 54 6400 Molde And I'll mix the tapes and mail them to VB before Christmas. If you could get the contributions to me within Dec 18 I would be very happy :) We have to show them that we are out there, so this is our first opportunity ... - -- Yngve ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 21:41:13 +0100 From: Philippa.Demonte@bmg.co.uk Subject: [VS] Blackout Hello I've just been playing Blackout for the past 3 hours - thought I would never be able to stop playing it!!! When you first start the game, it plays "Trick"...and then later on, there's a juke box with the Lucia album cover on it.....only, when you press the button to play it, it's not Velvet Belly, which is disappointing. It's a really bizarre game - more like being in a film where you decide what happens....I tell you, computer games have come a long way since the days of Pac Man and Frogger, heh heh. Has anyone else played Blackout (or read the book)? - Philippa ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 00:50:25 +0100 (CET) From: Yngve Hauge Subject: [VS] about the english thingy Hi again :) It would be nice to keep to english 'cause maybe some poor soul within the next 2 weeks would like to get updated on what's going on around here. My best friend is currently on a too lousy link to even consider reading mail, but she'll move shortly and by that change provider. So then we'll get our first subscriber from over the pond. I'll post to Ecto about the list shortly as well, so we might get more americans on cause of that. thanks, - -- Yngve your humble admin n.p Over the Rhine - Good Dog Bad Dog n.r C.J.Cherryh - The Goblin Mirror ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 01:11:29 +0100 (CET) From: Yngve Hauge Subject: [VS] About the VB/Biosphere tour + photos Anne Marie wrote me earlier this week and told me they were really happy about how the tour did develope, and that it kinda depressed them that it was over so soon. What I do regret the most from this tour is that I only had the chance to see them once. I wanted to go to Volda as well, but something did come in the way. I loved the way the whole show was built up, and the setlist couldn't be better (except for maybe a joined version of Drowning Sun and maybe a The Landing/Flowers combo - the last song is maybe my alltime favorite VB-song). It was kinda nice to see Anne Marie wear something that didn't make her that much of a middle point, though she'll always be that :) My only wish now is that my photos turned out ok, cause my lens is not always very nice kinda like. I did take about 50 pictures, so some of them should be nice. I've promised to mail them to VB, if they are ok + the pictures from the concert here in Molde in November last year. - -- Yngve ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1998 01:23:33 +0100 (MET) From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ms_Elin_Gyda_Sj=F8lie_=28Dreaming_Girl=29?= Subject: Re: [VS] About the VB/Biosphere tour + photos On Sat, 28 Nov 1998, Yngve Hauge wrote: >What I do regret the most from this tour is that I only >had the chance to see them once. I wanted to go to Volda Bah! ;-P Stop complaining. I didn't even have the chance to see them once. *sob* Stupid exams! I do hope they will visit England some time in February-May next year. I will defenately try very hard to see them if they are in London...

I didn't even have the chance to see them once. > *sob* Stupid exams! Poor you :( I really hope they'll tour England very soon. It would be very nice if they at least could do a couple of concerts in England and then a couple in the US - maybe at Bottom Line (I did see Happy Rhodes there, and really liked the place - maybe mostly cause I got to see Happy :) Right now I'm very envious about my friends in New Haven, who got to see Veda Hille 4 times in 5 days last week and one of those was a house concert at their place. It would really have been cool to get VB to play an accoustic set at the gathering this Summer - sort of a house concert, but outside :) and then to something completly different. My top 10 for 1998 (no particular order below No.1 and 2) bought CDs this year .... nothing much is happening before new year anyway. 1. Happy Rhodes - Many Worlds Are Born Tonight (she is the goddess of music with a voice like noone else) 2. Tori Amos - From The Choirgirl Hotel (so .... where do we place her?) 3. Over the Rhine - Besides/Good Dog Bad Dog/Patience (cant pick one) 4. Kate Jacobs - Hydrangea (country folk) 5. Susan Werner - Time Between Trains (folk) 6. Throwing Muses - From the Doghouse (guitar-based prog rock) 7. Susan McKeown - Bushes & Briars (irish folk) 8. Ingrid Karklins - A Deeper Passion (american pop mixed with lavian trad) 9. The Nields - Play (pure funny and lively rock) 10. Heather Nova - Siren (she is a master of ballads) Lots of great new discoveries this year - Susan Werner, Kate Jacobs, Mila Drumke and Tara MacLean (I haven't got CDs with the last 2 yet). Not all of the CDs on this list are new this year - Ingrid Karklins (I haven't got her new one yet) and Over the Rhine (none of the 3 CDs have been released this year). The list might change somewhat before the year is history, but not very much. The Happy Rhodes album might end up my favorite CD of all time. It continues to grow on me after 3 months. All artists on the list above are highly recommended. I've tried to genre them as good as possible. - -- Yngve n.p. Over the Rhine - Besides n.r.
