YOU'VE GOT YOGMAIL!!

Hey all, it's your friendly moderator here as per usual, filling up a fewlines with my various ramblings. What can I say to justify it? Well, I justreally miss my days as editor and music writer for my high school newspaper Iguess. I'll have to share the Georgely aspects of those with you sometime. Anyway, those damned profs won't lay off with giving me work...so once morethis issue lacks anything other than your postings--which is NOT AT ALL A BADTHING--and saves me the agro of having to write filler.
BTW, I mentioned our friendly mailing list today in a "Please elect mespeech". I went to a meeting for an on campus club, and for a joke ran for aposition, which gave me about 2 minutes to come up with a speech. In tryingto think about relative experience, I rambled about my high school stuff, andthen just couldn't resist adding that I run the George Michael E mail mailinglist--figuring I could maybe snag some votes from any faithful present--towhich someone responeded--after the Philistines laughed at me--"I've gotfaith". But no, I didn't win, alas, I have you fine people to worry aboutright? SO let me get to work...

PLEASE NOTE: SPECIAL ISSUE GOING OUT TOMORROW!!!

AND AWAY WE GO...

umm, i'm not supposed to mail personal replies here am I?

(Everything is currently running on this address Mike, so it's OK. AG)

Anyway, not only do I know who Donna DeLory is (one of Madonna's two "famous"and ever-reliable back-up singers, on tour and often on record), but I have aSINGLE by her! Praying For Love. And it's even reasonable! Though I can'tsay I listen to it much... Too bad she didn't drag the big M in for backingvocals....

(OK, so we have a winner, not only was he the first to respond, but he wasalso the only one I never directly mentioned Donna to. Anyway, send me yourmailing address Mike, so I can send you your prize, which is a dub of Donna'swhole CD--including the track Madonna wrote and produced for her, and evendid vocals on--so what if it's illegal, this is good press for her! I have45 minutes of tape available on the other side for Yog stuff, so tell me whatyou need. Thanks for indulging me, I would go so far as to say Miss DeLory'salbum is as close to a Faith as ever I've heard one, in that I have never hadsomeone hear that album and not like at least one song. There is not onenon-George album I can recommend any more highly. Anyone else out there havea fave artist they want to plug whom you think we might like? For therecord, Alicia and Jo answered this one too. AG)

I was just wondering if anyone is aware that all the Virgin Megastores havethe import of Spinning the Wheel, mind you that both imports are availableand have been for about 3 weeks now.
Just thought ya'll like to know you can purchase it there.=)

(Well great, but you still can't get them in Canada... AG)

And AG, I was hoping that we can arrange having a copy of both versions ofthe video sent whenever you have time. I don't have much time to watch MTVand when I do, I'm only really watching the Real World and Road Rules. I'mjust DYING to see the two versions. Please tell me whenever you're able todo the copying and I'll send you a money order for the tape and shipping andhandling.

(I have only the album version regrettably. I'll have to e Much to get moredetails on whether or not they even have the remix. At any rate, I have timeto do dubs on weekends for everyone's future reference... Note to anyonewanting audios, the cost for a single cassette --all inclusive (using MaxellXLII tape) surface mail is $6 US within the States, and for some reason $5 USinternational, I have no idea why, but that's what they told me at the postoffice, and I w/power!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Infact, you might say I'm quite -- I don't know--GLEEFUL!--about it!!!!:):) I--alone--that > And she accuses me of power tripping... For the record, I was actually guily of libel not slander.
Luv you Alicia! AG)

Anyway--I had planned to let all of you in on a concert story of mine...butnow I think I wait...and just ask a question: Just what kind of Shakespeareanbug bit AG--methinks it was a BIG ONE!!!!!!!!:)

(Methinks it was actually someone else's posting--sorry can't rememberwho's--that inspired me. Speaking of bugs, I have just been bitten by thebug that causes one to make a late night Burger King run suddenly, wonderwhy? AG)

Donna Delory is one of Madonna's back-up singers, who has a terrific voice inher own right! She has a solo album out now--and another coming out duringDecember!:)
Do I get full credit and a prize now?!?!:)

(NO, only partial credit, you of all people should have known that the truefull credit answer would include the line "Amanda's fave female singer", andspell her last name correctly... but I will find some goodies to send yourway my dear, I mean for that "terrific voice" comment. AG)

P.S.--Anyone who knows AG & I knows I AM THE GEORGE MICHAEL IN THERELATIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Infact--AG often responses to me callingher Andrew!:)

(OK, long story, but she's kinda right, I do tend to pick up the phone andhear her hella cool voice say "Hi, is Andrew there?" YOU are the GM? OK,let's see what happens when you get YM whilst I am on exam leave... AG)

As far as the Bronco goes--I'd drive you a mile or two, then you're on yourown!!!:)

(Really? That's not what you said last night... BUT FOR THE RECORD,YES--AND AOL MEMBERS CAN VOUCH FOR THIS--ALICIA AND I ARE ALWAYS LIKE THIS,IT'S WHEN WE GET POLITE SOMETHING'S WRONG... AG)

Take Care All,
Alicia

Hey guys, Amanda, Kelly, Elena and the likes! :)

I gotta question for all those Canadian and receiving Much Music...Doesanyone, and I mean, ANYONE know if our lovely copy of MTV (although, I findit much better than the crap on MTV US, but not as good as the lovely stuffon MTV Europe) will be showing the MTV Europe awards? If you know anything,please let me know. I am presently praying that he will show up and thatwe'll get to see it. Although, you never know with George or MuchMusic whatthey're up to! :-)

(I have no idea. I know they ran the first ones like 8 months after thefact. 'Course the last time they ran a GM spotlight they totally re-ran theone they showed 6 months earlier, even forgetting to change the "tentativerelease date" of his new album to "Older released 1996". Alas... I for onetotally blame SookYin! AG)

Thank you...HUGS AND THE LIKE..
