OK. Normally I'd just ignore reading something like this as just a ranting of an uneducated fool, but I've got to get this clarified. I concur. Very unlikely to be true. It has long been my observation that, despite the allegedly amicable split between yello+now and Mr. Tapes and Effects, that Señor Pero'n has had a visible descent into bitterness. The fury of "A Hit Song" simply cannot be ignored. And this contrasts the increased quality and soul and depth of sound from the "remaining members".
It's almost comedy, no? Well, /almost/. We'll get a laugh one day when it's revealed that the blurb was penned by ol' Chucky himself. "Carlos Peron was the founder of globally renowned cult act Yello...." _THE_ founder? Hm. That doesn't sound right to me. "...initiator of the world___s first ever video clip, The Evening___s Young from the group___s second album Claro Que Si." I'm not sure what this even means. First ever MUSIC VIDEO, certainly not. First ever VIDEO CLIP... well, The Evening's Young isn't exactly a video clip so much as a .... music video? Which brings us back to doh doh doh doh.... Kind of a confusing statement at any interpretation. Does anyone have any light that can be shed? "Following the fifth Yello album You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess..." Solid Pleasure..one... Claro Que Si..two.. YGSYTAE... FIVE! Perfect. Fifth album.... fifth album..... Well, it's official. I'm going back to remedial math, since I clearly cannot count properly..... OH NOES! I'S MISSING TWO WHOLE ALBUMS AIN'T NEVER HEARD OF! "... which was released as the world___s first ever Compact Disc in 1983..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD seems to indicate otherwise. Have not done a definitive scour. Anyone else have data? "Carlos left the group to embark on an ambitious solo career." Spin. Probably goes a little something more like this: Boris, increasingly adept, finds Chucky both superfluous and redundant, as well as a major downer. "Many music critics agree that Yello lost their raw edge with the departure of Peron." Spin, again. Methinks more appropriate would be that Yello was relieved of a very seriously negative cloud with the riddance of ol' Chuckles. Since The Great Alleviation, as I am now calling it, I have seen a very steady increase in refinement, quality, and soul in what I opine is the world's most colourful band. Ah, ah, ah, ah... made a funny.... most COLOURful band.... Because they are colourful characters.... and the band name is a colour, mostly.... snort. Guffaw. Sniff. Anyway. What, is there no edge to Tied Up In Gear? No edge to Si Señor The Hairy Grill? I /beg/ to differ. Especially with the latter. It doesn't get much grindier and shoutier and /edge/ier than that. Even Moby's Animal Rights doesn't touch the rolling, screaming, howling, bumping energy of SSTHG. Corncobs, I get a bit bumpy just thinking about it. Right. Chucky Peron? Pass. --gcr
