Hi. So as we all know there are many rumours about what
is going on with George's
career at the moment. I decided
that rather than sit back and fuel the rumour mill, I'd ask
Shirlie for some official answers.
1.
Are you (meaning collectively) at AEgean willing to
confirm or deny the tour rumours?
"At this moment in time I have
no tour dates or confirmation
that George is going on tour.(sorry)"
2. Will The Strangest Thing be released on Sept. 1
in the UK?
Any plans to release in America? (Amanda falls to the ground
laughing in hysterics...)
"'Strangest Thing
97' will be released on an EP including 'You
have been Loved', 'Father Figure' and 'Praying For Time'. The
EP will be
called'You Have Been Loved'. It will be released mid
September in UK and Europe.
You are going to hate this next piece of
news, take a deep
breath. It will not be released in America or Canada. This has
nothing to do with George as you may of
guessed."
3. Is George working on a new album?
"George is not working on a new album at the moment. But
lots
of other projects.I cannot give info on these yet."
4. Is there really a Wham! Greatest Hits CD coming out next
month?
"Yes
there is a 'Wham Greatest Hits' album . I do not have a
finalised release date though. George is in the studio at the
moment
remixing 'Everything She Wants'."
5. Is there a release date for Trigger's single?
"Triggers release date for
'Chameleon' is the 8th September."
(If you can imagine it, mix The Prodigy with like Sarah McLachlan,
you'll get
something along the lines of Trigger. AG)
AND AWAY WE GO...

Hi Everyone!
I am so excited that I finally get
to share my story with all of
you!! Reason: For the last 4 days, my stupid server has been
down, and I was going nuts because
I wanted to send this, and
now I finally can!
Anyway, yesterday, I had to go shopping for now cross-
training shoes (like
you care, but keep reading.) I went to the
mall and into Lady Foot Locker, where I can usually find
something. I was in there
for over an hour,trying on TONS of
shoes, but with no success. I was getting really frustrated
and had to listen to some
over-played crap over the intercom
thing. I was getting ready to walk out and go to another store,
when all of a sudden,I
froze. Was I hearing things? Was I
dreaming? I couldn't believe it--I was hearing Star People!!!
Yes, 'tis true. In Foot
Locker, of all places! I immediately got
a HUGE smile on my face and weird looks from the girl who
was working there. I stood
there, singing to myself, trying not
to make it too obvious that I was dancing around. I was stoked.
Then I had to run over to
Jamba Juice to get a fruit smoothie,
seeing that the temperature had broken the record highs, about
100 degrees. I walked in
to hear, yes, once again, STAR
PEOPLE!!! I could not believe it! I started laughing and singing,
once again, trying to keep
the dance movements to a minimum,
because there were some cute guys behind me. I was dying to
get home and tell you guys about
my day with George, but I
had one more stop to make.
I went in to Big 5 to see if they had any shoes that I would
like.
After looking around for about 15 minutes, I finally found
an employee and some shoes to try on. As I was sitting there,
trying
them on, FAITH starts playing!!! Can you believe it!!!????
I sure couldn't! I started laughing again and singing out loud.
There
was a kid and his dad next to me trying on shoes, too,
and they were giving me some pretty funny looks, not to
mention that
they were actually laughing at me! I didn't care.
It was George!! For the third time in one day!!!
I guess I, too, had to have
"Faith" in finding a pair of shoes.
It was at Faith-playing Big 5 that I found a pair that fit me just
right. Thanks
George!!!
I wish I could always be accompanied by Him whenever I went
shopping! ;)
-Jena :)

Hi
guys...
Thought you might be interested in a passage I found in today's
Sydney paper:
"Wham bam thank you man:
Pop music's oldest young man,
George Michael, has announced he'll be back on the road soon
for his first tour in six years.
Initial details out of London
suggest the trip, which kicks off in America early next year, will
take in Australia some
point further down the track. The shows
will feature Michael updating some of his old Wham! hits as well
as some 'surprise
duets'. A source close to Michael told the
London Sun: 'George will be very 'hands on' and will oversee
every detail of the
show. He has a very clear idea of how he
wants it to look. It will be very cool and stylish."
Sorry if you've already
received this news, Amanda... but I
couldn't control myself. ;) I think it's interesting that George will
be starting his tour
in the US - doesn't he normally leave that
country 'til last and start in Japan/Asia first so he can perfect
the show? Could
it be due to the fact that the US has had the
poorest sales for Older? Personally, I think it's a good idea...
the US might
have made up for half the sales of his previous
work, but it doesn't anymore... it's about time he paid more
attention to the
countries where his albums *still* reach number
one.
(You're probably exactly right, he can tinker with the show here
in
North America and have it perfect for Europe and the East.
It could also be Fony orders to bolster the initial GH sales. But
hey,
no complaints, the sooner the better. AG)

*HI*
Before
I forget, thanks Amanda for convincing George to tour next
year (we hope). *smile*
(Told you I was capable of anything...
AG)
I've heard lots of people complaining that they really don't like
the Star People remixes. I was wondering if any of
the DJs, or
other music lovers who subscribe to this list, had attempted
their *own mixes of George's music? Did you use
pieces of his
remixes or did you take pieces from his cds and 12"?
--Just wondering. If anyone has, maybe you could
share a snippet
with the rest of us by way of the internet.
Take Care,
Rene'
(Somewhere in my tapes box there is a
Too Funky remix I did
for a fashion show I co-produced, and I know a friend who's
had a go at Star People. And, I think I once
remixed the Wham!
Rap. AG)

Hi
all,
In regards to my earlier post..I just wanted to let u all know that
it's easy to get the original shutdown screen
back. I changed
mine back to the original screen & it's very easy. So.. if
anyone else wants it, mail me.
BTW, has
anyone gotten confirmation from Aegean that George
will be undergoing a world tour? (I can hardly complain about
him snubbing
Vancouver until I get the facts.. :O) )
(An official no at the moment. AG)
Cya,

Greetings from Portland, Oregon (U.S.A.) I've only been a part
of
YOGMÆL for a couple of days now, and I've already found
some great Yog items that I was looking for thanks to quick
responses
from fellow G.M. fans. I knew I could count on you
all for help :) One of the people that helped actually lives here
in
Oregon--(Thanks G.L.)
I've been reading all of the stuff in the archives (I'm only about
half way through) it's very
interesting! (Great job Amanda). I
thought I was his biggest fan (since I first heard "Young Guns"),
guess not.
According to the stuff in the archives, there are a
lot of items that I don't have, it will be fun to see how much of
it I can
actually acquire. One of my hobbies is DJing, so, I
was wondering what everbody's favorite G.M. remix is--mine is
probably the
Deep House Mixes of "Killer" or the Forthright
mixes of "S.T.W."
Oh yeah, one more thing, If anyone is
interested in a copy of
Andrew's CD "Son of Albert" I do have one for sale or trade.
Well, I've rambled on long
enough, have a "Killer" day
everyone, Trevor

High evriebudy!
It's been a while since I have
posted!!
Then again, for a while there I just couldn't fucking shut up.
Guess it goes in spirts.
Oh, miss Silver, I
found you yet another name. I was riding
by a church the other day, and saw this huge sign that said:::::
AG
I was
like "huh", not being a church goer, I never knew that
some were called "Assembley Of God" or, AG. Now, aside
from
that, do you really want to know how I feel about 3
issues a week? YM is my fav mailing list, and I have
subscribed to almost
all of them. I think, just because I am
used to it, and you add in's always are short, so if it is a long
post, I can just
read what you said, and get the gist of it.
Like people are probably doing right now! =-)
(OK, then I'll switch to 5
shorter issues a week. AG)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE RUMOR!!!!!!!!!
Rumor is, is that George has
been seeing sexy Spice Girl
Geri. Anybody hear any of that? I was talking to some
Englishman that was on vaction where I live,
and he happend
to drop in where I work, and I asked him about George, and
all he really had to say was:
"The chap
had a real fall out with his record company. But
now I hear he's dating with one of the Spice Girls, the one
with red hair.
Whats her name?"
Then, I saw it on a web page too. Confirm, deny? Interested?
Yeah, I know you are. =-)
(OK, now
I have heard he has seen her in a state of undress --
NEDA YOU STILL OWE DETAILS ON THAT!!! -- but hey, this
is Geri, so who
hasn't... But on a more interesting note, isn't
she the one who's undecided on her orientation? AG)
Take Care,
George.
