[total-madness] Especially for Q............
It's not Madness but a lot of you out there will be interested. In this month's Q magazine, in the opening pages, Jerry Dammers writes an open letter to the magazine as a result of their review of "Stereotypical", the recent Specials' compilation. Basically, he is setting the record straight about a few of the songs he wrote such as "War Crimes" and "Niteklub". As he is not well known for doing too many interviews, any insight into Mr. 2-TONE is definitely worth a read The Carden (as opposed to The Madness) __ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores.

[total-madness] Phil Jupitus.........You're Wonderful
Ladies and airheads hee-hee, Friday night, I went to see Phil Jupitus live at the Olympia in Dublin. Not only is he totally hilarious and well recommended but he played a barrel load of Ian Dury tracks before he came on. I was delighted because I was able to slip a copy of my fanzine backstage which has Ian Dury on the front page. Completely unrelated but has anybody who has the bootleg (don't mention those, Vince!!) of Madstock 3 noticed that Carl sings the verses of "You're Wonderful" to a different key than the recorded version and the Euro '96 version. It's totally cool and draped in emotion. Bye, bye, get lost, xxx Incey-Wincey-Vincey __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Messenger - Talk while you surf!

1. For those subscribed to my fanzine, I'll be posting issue 5 to you during the week. It's a 48 page special including a fab article that Lee has written on Ian Dury especially for you. For anybody going to the gig, I'll bring it along on saturday. Hope that's okay. If anybody would like a copy for the first time, please mail me off-list. 2. Now I know that I'm almost three weeks out of date with this but I've been on th net very little lately to get my chance to say what I thought about Young Guns, so I just thought I'd like to add in a few things: - Anybody notice Lee's reference to Madness becoming like a "Runawa train" which was one of the rumoured titles for "Wonderful"? - If Dave Robinson thinks that he wasn't pushing the band too far, then what does he think about bands releasing studio albums only every two to three years these days. Surely that's proof. - I liked Carl's comment about "you don't need lots of stuff, just the 7 of us on stage". I personally can't stand the way bands like U2 spend horrfic amounts of money on special affects to try make their own performance more memorable. - Yes, Carl had too little to say but I've always felt that Chris is much better putting his thoughts to pen. - Suggs had far too much to say with his same old stories. That one about the Melody Maker advert for a new band is wearing thin. And as for that story about sitting on the floor of Lee's flat on the Caledonian Road..he has spent so much time on that floor that he must have the sorest arse in Camden. Must explain some of his funny dancing in the early days!! The only overtold anecdote was why the band split up"Health reasons, we got sick of each other"or each other's stories Suggs!! - Nice to hear Mike talking about life in general / his move to Buddhism. Hadn't heard that at all. - Woody's points about The Madness wre interesting. When do we ever hear anything controversial about the band? No wonder there has never been a proper biography about them. - I was really happy about the emphasis put on Madness lyrics. Always good to hear them get recognition for that as well as Mike for his unique piano playing which I can only really remember Jools Holland doing before. - I didn't like Suggs' comment that they should have broken up when Mike left. Just because the singles and albums afterwards were not commercially successful is not a reason to regret them. Does that make 'Wonderful' regrettable. I hope not, big man. - Although it was good to see Madness have a documentary of their own it's unfortunate that they were lumbered in with those other groups. Soft Cell only had one successful album. Bye bye, get lost.. Vincey Boy __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[total-madness] Lyrical wizards
As I said in my e-mail i think that Madness wrote some cracking lyrics. Anyway, I hate pointless polls as much as the next person, but why don't people mail me off-list with their favourite line from a Madness song. It's not a poll as few will have the same lyric in common. I'll just send one e-mail with the person's name and favourite lyric at the end of the week. In the meantime, here are some of my favourites: - The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose. That classic line from "One Better Day" gets me in places where I didn't even know I had places!! - "He said goodbye to his wife and child". What other band in the world would put such a lyric in a song and come to think of it, what other band has dedicated two songs to the homeless??? - "If you don't fit in, you'll fit in here". The classic line which almost sums up madmeets! Tee - hee!! When Suggs puts his mind to it, he can write a good lyric. This one of course is from the "Three Pyramids Club" title track. I just wish he'd put his mind to it more often. - "Plucking up the courage to speak". Taken from the demo of "Listen To Your Father", this is a line which sums up the awkward father-son relationship where you find it difficult to say what's on your mind. - "When your race is run and you already know". Almost an ambiguous line from "Yesterday's Men" for a band who knew their time was soon to be up. - "Just shut your mouth for 5 minutes and lay back on your bed". Taken from the Crunch! unreleased gem "Going Solo". Only Lee Thompson, Eminem or The Prodigy could get away with this lyric. Smack my Kix up!! Blah-blah, The Carden __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[total-madness] The Name Of The Debut Velvet Ghost Album Is......
Ladies and gentlewomen,
I thought I'd send a non - contraversial e-mail for a
change ("about time too, Vince")!!
Anyway, the great news is that Mr. Cathal Joseph
Patrick Smyth has decided that the winning entry for
the "name the album" competition is
"The Father, The Son And The Velvet Ghost"
Not only that, but as was not originally the plan,
Carl has decided to use this as the actual name for
the album, which is an added bonus!!!
The lucky winners are Stevie boy Chapman who gets the
Madness vinyl clock, which is made from the dutch 12"
version of Complete Madness and a 4 issue subscription
to Madness Unsugged (that second part is really sad
Vince!!) and some bloke called Vince Foley who gets
the handwritten lyrics for a newly written Velvet
Ghost song. I suppose that the main thing is boasting
to your friends that you've named the album. Steve,
can you mail me off-list.
The other entries were
In the beginning The Communicator
Reflections of tomorrow Goosebumps grooves
Walk with the ghost Chips and gravy
Whenever Today is a gift
Holiday in Holloway The first shout
The ghostly geezers Diary of a madman
Quietman The velvet mafia
Magic in the air The church of.
A Lil' Smash Vaporous
Good to see you Sweet soul brother
Forget the madness Phantom fantastic
Time out Path with a heart
The iron fist in the velvet glove
Velvetghost.com The spirit of Ireland
(Waiting for the) ve;lvet ghost train
When pieces of rind get lodged in the mind
The weak and the strong Welcome to the darkside
The first ghost Smooth manifestations
Insights to my soul Drunken whispers
On to the ground Paranormal activities
The man who haunted himself
Hopefully, we can do the same again one day, hoping
that the Velvet Ghost album will not be a one - off.
Not only thanks to Cathal for letting me run the
competition but also for letting me be the first to
announce the name of his debut album. I am
unworthy

[total-madness] Don't Quote Me On That.......
Hello boys and girls, Now I know how Carl felt back in 1980.. First of all, let me apologise for the following e-mail. I don't want this to carry on as a long running childish argument, but I will take exception with anybody misquoting me. Saying that the band won't give a damn about us being ripped off by Virgin compilations is not the same as saying that the band don't care about their fans full stop!! Lee, Carl and Chris in particular have been very good to me in the past and I know that they all care about the fans. That's why three of the band receive the weekly M.I.S. bulletin every week. However, it is clear that what I was saying (below) was that the band won't lose any sleep over yet another Virgin compilation. Who can blame them, they have more important things on their mind. If we are going to be over-the-top about this, I can always reproduce the interview from Record Collector last year where Carl defended all the greatest hits cds. This is not a criticism of Carl, it must be stated. In response to my "BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT!" line, it was stated that bootlegs should not be sold for profit. Where did I say they should be sold for profit I spoke out against this in my previous e-mail. Am I missing something??? Don't quote me on that! Also, in your e-mail on monday, Jenny, you stated that the list does not endorse the sale of bootlegs and "I'm sure most of us would agree". I'm afraid Jenny that you'll find yourself in a tiny minority there. Most of the people on this list would possess a bootleg cd amongst their collection which is proof of that person's own endorsement. Finally, the list has been on a slippery slope in recent months with nothing happening with the band. Chris Mountain quite correctly pointed out at and after the Rhythmstock weekend that the list needs fresh ideas. Exactly, and I reckon a very interesting thing would be if people listed their own bootlegs, so the rest of us would know what is missing in their collection. For example, somebody recently offered me a French gig from 1986 on cd. Never knew it existed actually. But you won't know if you don't discuss. It's one of the reasons why people get the MIS bulletin instead of being a member of the list.

What's that phrase about "getting a taste of your own medicine". What the hell is this? Portraying Madness as a band that doesn't care about their fans?!?! This is just totally unbelievable... especially after all the things they have done for us. BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! Bootlegs, in my opinion, should not be sold for profit... unless that money goes to the band. It's one thing to have a copy of a concert you paid to go see, it's entirely another to make X amount of copies and profit from a band's performance.

[total-madness] Bootleg Bull***t
I just thought I'd put an e-mail out on the bootleg topic seeing as my name has been bandied about a bit and also some of this politically correct waffle is getting right on my nerves!! I sent an e-mail a few months back on justifying my own sale of bootleg cds. To summarise, I do three issues a year of my fanzine Madness Unsugged. Each costs £500. Subscriptions and sales bring me in about £230. Without the sale of these cds, I'd be losing £800 a year. In fact the next issue has an extra 16 pages which between extra postage and photocopying costs will cost me an extra £100. I didn't need to do that, it's just misguided devotion and some socialist zarjazz silliness on my part. Selling these cds is my only way of recouping some of the cost. I also did it to take it out of the hands of somebody who was making ridiculous money and conning people and me. Point nuimber 1: "You're depriving the band of revenue"No, no. The likes of Suggs singing "I'm only sleeping" on the Danny Baker show and Madness doing "lovestruck" on TFI Friday, as appear on the Nutty Sounds cds that I sell, are hardly going to be on your shelf in HMV and Virgin next Monday. Point Number 2: We as fans were badly ripped off with "The Business", forking out about £23 for nothing new, not to mention the other joke compilations. So Virgin and Madness losing money is hardly goinmg to make me cry. If Virgin had any intention of doing anything with the kind of material that appears on "First Step Behind", they'd have done it on "The Business". If somebody was selling bootleg compilations of "Wonderful", that would have been a different story. Point Number 3: With the various compilations, Madstocks and short tours to large audiences, Madness have mastered the idea of Profit Maximisation with Effort Minimisation since 1992. The compilations since then have seen them take money unfairly from fans although I do know that it is the decision of Virgin to do these (mind you, have you ever heard any of the boys returning royalties???). Again no tears shed for the boys. Oh by the way, do you think Madness give a damn about you when you get ripped of by Virgin's compilations and digitally remastered rubbish?!?! What's that phrase about "getting a taste of your own medicine". BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT! BOOTLEGS ARE GREAT!

Starting off with a big hug for Marti Pello and wearing the blue pin - striped suit from Abbamania and 'I am', he sang a shortened version of the song with two backing singers helping him with the lyrics 'Hit me, hit me' to give the song more kick. He even added in the lyrics 'Hit me baby one more time'!!! He also sported a rather tight haircut which didn't match his fat face!! Anyway, BIG SLOPPY KISSES TO ALL YE ON THE MADLIST!!

Ladies and assassins, It gives me great pressure and great pleasure to announce the Crunchstock! awards: - Best new phrase for being drunk: "Scat-arsed"do you really need me to elaborate - Best song on the night: "Here he comes" and "Saints and Sinners" - Best cure for post Crunchstock depression: Believing the rumours circulating on friday night that there would be two Velvetstocks in september - Best thrill: Talking to John Hasler - Biggest mistake: Apparently (the Ayatollah Foley tells me)I said something to John Hasler like "Hey, I need this plastering job done, are you still in that line of business?" - Biggest surprise: Finding that Cheryl's friends' gig turned into a secret party for two blokes from Blur afterwards. Drummer is sound, guitarist is a tosser. - Best geezer: Swanny (sorry Scat but you'll have to relinquish your award for one weekend!) - Biggest regret: I had this plan to jump on stage afterwards and shout on the microphone "Please leave in a noisy fashion and could the last one out turn the lights off please", but somebody was spitting in my face so I had to wait around. - Worst Irish accent: Simesy..and nobody in Ireland says "To be sure, to be sure". Spank you! - Best anecdote: I met Vince Foley in Oxford Street and told him he had to bring me up to the MTV studios in Camden to meet Kelly Brook, who I'm a slight fan of, ahem!! Anyway, he says "you can't, she's on holidays this week". I had to head off to Croydon for a bit,so on his way to Camden on the tube, who is sitting completely opposite him?.Kelly Brook.

Re: [total-madness] Madness Cover versions
Funny you should ask that Steve. The night after the Dury gig I was in a bar in Camden at Dingwalls and was talking to the Canadian barmaid. I was explaining why I was over here but she hadn't heard of Madness. "You know 'Our House', 'House Of Fun'" was my reply. "That was the mini - pops who sang those songs, wasn't it?" was her reply. Suddenly I was no longer on the pull! A band called "Splodgenessbounds" (no that's not a mispelling!) did a b - side called "One Sock Beyond", a slightly altered version of Madness's second single...

[total-madness] Suggs' vocals
Ladies and layabouts, Hope you're well (eight days till Crunchstock!) I think some people have lost the plot on the Suggs debate. Marti Pellow may be able to reach the high notes, but his voice is very one - dimensional. Suggs can sing catchy fast songs and also melancholic numbers. This argument about Suggs singing in a cockney accent the whole time is a bit misguided and outdated. What about 4a.m. / If I Didn't Care / Elysium / Dreaming Man / I Was The One / Green Eyes / So Tired and the masterpieces of the Keep Moving and MNM albums such as Yesterday's Men and Prospects. I don't think he shows limited singing ability there.hardly singing in an Ian Dury manner. Can't you just imagine Marti pellow doing an awful predictable cover version of Yesterday's Men. I truly belive that when it comes to singing sad songs, Suggs' voice can't b beaten. Some of the points put forward made it sound like the writer's hadn't listened to a Madness album since Absolutely where I'd be the first to admit that he was limited nad talked the lyrics. Where Suggs messes up is on the live scene, but I think his singing on 'Wonderful' is both varied and better than anything from any Madness album. Marti Pellow is a choir boy who got lucky and there are plenty of prototypes of him in boybands. Suggs is distinct, cockney accent or not. Quality singing is not about singing the high notes. It's about having an interesting voice and no Marti you haven't got that. Till next time, Vince Carden. __ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages get email alerts with Yahoo!

Re: [total-madness] Suggs Demoes/b - sides
Boys and babes, I've never heard of any Suggs demos really apart from the white label Three Pyramids Club promo where some of the songs have little differences. The only one I've heard is the "Straight Banana" demo where the chorus is slightly different. As well as that, there are shouts of "Nuclear Weapon" instead of the title track, almost reminding you of the Specials masterpiece "Man at C A". If you can get your hands on that promo cd, you'll hear slight differences on tracks such as "Our Man". Maybe, Simon Roberts will know if there are any demos about. Can I also say that it used to really annoy me when Suggs used to say that he enjoyed the half of the "Lone Ranger" that Sly and Robbie produced whereas the Barson / McPherson produced tracks were a nightmare experience. Bullshit!! "Green Eyes", "4a.m." and "She's Gone" were miles better than the crap that Sly and Slyer produced such as "Off on holiday", "Cecelia" and "Haunted". He said in one or two interviews about Sly and Robbie that "I really liked that stuff they were doing with Chaka Demus and the pliers". I won't even respond to that McPherson..

[total-madness] Wait till you read this............
Hello Rhythmstockers, Crunchstockers and Smashstockers, Recently I sent a warning to the list telling everybody to avoid a certain Andy Gleaves. Well, I'd like to add a few names to the list...Jury (well you knew that already), Muscat, Madame Barso and Caz Smash (cross the street immediately if you see this one). I am of course about to share with you the worst and scariest of the mad filled dreams. I really hope that Caz Smash does not take the lyrics "In my dreams I have a plan" to heart because if she is looking for any of this to come true, I for one will not be turning up on the 14th of July for fear of bumping into her. Caz Smash No. 1.Woody comes along with a John Major mask on and sets light to Suggs' house. Scared??? She has had this one three times!! Caz Smash No. 2.Mike comes to her house, knocks on the door and then brings her to a gig on a kids tricycle, but instead of playing a gig, all the band were just smoking hash. Bedders kept having a go at her for only buying one copy of "Drip Fed Fred". (MR.C - So Bedders knew they released the song...now now Mr. Carden, stop slagging off his part time involvement!) Caz Smash No. 3.At the DFF video shoot, Chas picks her up and starts swinging her around by the legs. Disaster strikes when he falls over a lighting thingy and smashes all the bulbs! So Adele gets really angry and orders five of them to go to "Do it all" and buy some new light bulbs. So off they go walking from Camden to Wycombe (MR. C - You wouldn't even cycle that distance Caz!!) and got there but there were no light bulbs. So Carl started crying but Caz wasn't very sympathetic and Suggs told Carl to "Fuck off!". Suggs then dragged her down the paint aisle and proceeded to paint her face like in the "Grey Day" video. Jury No. 1.She dreams about turning up at the school graduation with all her classmates dressed up as Woody and Lee from the "It Must Be Love" video. (MR.C - I thought they taught you about the birds and bees at an earlier age!!) Muscat No. 1.Madness are touring Malta, Italy and Sicily when on the night of the opening concert, Suggs comes down with a bout of the flu and Carl pushes Mr. Muscat up to be frontman. Suggs' health improves and he comes on stage halfway through. As the Muscat is doing so well, Suggs keeps him with him ( MR. C - maybe it's because of Suggs' habit of forgetting lyrics!). Included in the set is a weird version of "Razor Blade Alley" with himself, Suggs, Lee and Carl exchanging verses!! Whereas in that dream Mr. Muscat was the 8th member of Madness, Wee Stoo seems to think Anna Kournikova is the eighth member. That can be the only explanation for him e - mailing me with the details of his little rendez-vous in an elevator with the Russian pin up tennis star. I've already forwarded his e - mail to FHM and the perv police!! Thanks Stoo, I really need those kind of e - mails. You should get "American Pie" on DVD Madame Barso No. 1.This one starts off on the Christmas tour with the venue being a small pub (MR.C - ha!ha! so you're dreaming of Madness 10 years down the line...) Mike sees her and gets her up on stage. She spends the rest of the gig with him by the keyboard (MR.C - Did you teach him how to play "Drip Fed Fred" properly!!) It then moves on to the Royal Bank Of Scotland in Camden. She's sitting with the band having a drink but it's just her and Mike. She tries to get up but Mike takes her hand to shake it and won't let go. On her way out the band tease Mike about her. Well there you have it. "The maddest fans in all the world, how could you do this to me?" Till next time, Vince Carden Madness Unsugged.We'll even pay you to read it! __ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

It must be love 1992 - no. 6 House of fun 1992 - no. 40 My Girl 1992 - no. 27 Nightboat to cairo (March 1993) - no. 59 (per Guinness book but Vince 'If I didn't care' Foley tells me he reckons it was different). Ghost Train re - release (January 1987) - no. 73 2. On the issue of making profits from selling cds of the band we love, I quite agree. There is only one reason why I sell the Nutty Sounds cdsto make up for the loss of approximately £230 per issue that I lose on Madness Unsugged!!! Yes, I know.. £230!!Subscriptions don't even add up to the cost of my fanzine's front cover which is £265. The ironic thing about it losing me lots of money is that I was originally going to call it Zarjazz!! But yes, I agree with your point and it brings me onto another point which I covered in the latest issue of my fanzine: There is a low life scumbag who goes by the name of Andy Gleaves and lives in Bolton. The self titled 'Madness specialist' only specialises in one thing...theft. I sent him almost a three figure some for collectors items. I got nothing despite constant reminder letters. In 1992 he was investigated by police after complaints to Record Collector magazine where he advertised. He's still doing the rounds though and I've heard about five stories from other fans who have had dodgy dealings with him. I bet this tale will bring back bad memories for others. For the lucky ones who haven't had dealings with him, avoid him like the plague. Spank you very much!! Vince Carden --- Andy Clayden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I collect live reggae tapes, and have always wanted to get more of Madness live. I don't follow the argument that someone suggested that live recordings would harm the "official" studio product sales. I'm sure most people, especially the "casual" buyer, would want the genuine studio cut. I deal strictly on a tape trade basis, no money is exchanged just a tape for a tape, and would love to see more Madness and other 2-Tone live tapes circulated in this way. The Marley/reggae trades ring is vast, but not so with Madness. I have seen people offering to knock out live Madness CD-Rs and videos for anywhere between £7-£20, which I think is wrong. There's no harm in swapping live recordings, but to make a profit from it is disrespectful to the band. While I'm writing I have a favour to ask that I know someone here can easily help with. I haven't bought one of those Guiness Hit Singles books for years, so would appreciate if someone could fill in the missing chart positions for me. I vaguely remember most of them, but I'd like a listing of all singles, including re-issues after the Ghost Train to DFF. Thanks in advance!

[total-madness] A load of poll - ocks!!
Hello all, Some time ago, Jenny asked me to put the results of three polls I had in my fanzine whenever I had the results. Here goes: Asked to name their top 5 tracks from the new album in order of preference, the results were as follows: 1. Lovestruck 2. The Communicator 3. Drip Fed Fred 4. Johnny The Horse 5. Elysium 6. Saturday night, sunday morning 7. The Wizard 8. 4 A.M. 9. No Money 10.If I didn't care 11.Going To The Top The Communicator easily got the most number one preferences whereas 'Lovestruck' featured in 90% of everyone's top 5. Confirming my own belief that most fans who like 'Elysium' think it's the best song on the album, this track had the second highest amount of first preferences with most people who voted for it having it as their favourite.. Going To The Top was not even in 10% of the top 5's. I'm sure 4a.m. would have finished higher if we all didn't hear and love it before. And now to a hypothetical poll. If there was a fourth single, what would you like it to be? 'If I didn't care' was the only track not deemed single friendly. 'Saturday night, sunday morning' marginally pipped the forgotten a - side 'Elysium' for second spot. 'Going to the top' and '4 a.m.' easily finished joint last: 1. The Communicator 2. Saturday night, sunday morning 3. Elysium 4. The Wizard 5. No Money Finally, in the poll to see which Suggs album did readers prefer, 70% voted for The Three Pyramids Club. See ya on the 16th.

[total-madness] Divine waste of time!!!
Hello there, 1. Got Divine Madness yesterday. What can I say? Digitally remastered my arse!! I still can't believe I wasted £17. Basically, none of the tracks sound any different. It's only good for one thing. It'll probably win the band a few more young fans again. It has certainly received more shelf space than 'Wonderful' and was one of six albums that HMV were playing all day yesterday. I reckon subscribers should check its chart position next sunday night. It might go top 20 or 30. The back of the cd box is different, the mini - booklet is different, the album of course has 'Lovestruck' and 'JTH' and the cd itself is sort of a brownish red colour very like the recent cds. Just don't rush to the shops tomorrow to buy it. 2. That was definitely Chalky in the headbutting scene. 3. I think 'My Guy' got to number 30. I'd like to think Bedders regrets his involvement in it. I still have him on video saying Culture Club were a favourite of his. Yuk! 4. Quite the opposite to what was said earlier, I applaud Chas for picking the 'Velvet Ghost'. Anybody doing something outside of Madness should not pick a name that is trying to borrow from the band's legacy. It will also be very interesting as his music will be so different from Madness than that of any other related act. Calling bands 'The Madness' and 'The Nutty Boys' were two very sad regrettable decisions. 5. Suggs' wife was also in a band once called 'The Rubber Biscuits'. 6. For those interested (and that certainly doesn't include me), why don't you set up the 'Total Madness Ageing List'! Ha!Ha! One last jibe.

[total-madness] Le Madness / Nice guy Woody
1. Yes, there was a band called the Wasp Factory who themselves were named after a book of the same name. Apparently Elysium is named after a book too, "The Elysium Treatment". In the end they opted for The Madness because when they used to go to France, the French used to call them "Le Madness" (apologies if the last anorak fact provokes more french e - mails like we've had recently!!) 2. Daniel Woodgate is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He hates people being in awe of him and he loves talking to fans. I accept the point that he and the graphic designer aren't the most nutty in the band, but when he pens a song he tends to write masterpieces only - "Elysium", "Michael Caine", "Los Palmas" etc. He really looked after two mates of mine in a big way recently and if you ever met him you'd take to him Vince Carden Madness Unsugged.definitely worth a read __ Do You Yahoo!?

[total-madness] Telly tubbies
1. The vinyl clock is the 12" vinyl of Complete Madness not a picture disk but the tick tocks are .."definitely worth a listen". Some recent tv stuff: a)BBC Ceefax page where viewers can send in their opinion have recently let fans discuss their favourite Madness single. You can e - mail yours to them at [EMAIL PROTECTED] b)Seamas 'Mad Not Mad' Beaghan was on Later on Jools Holland last week playing the keyboards for "Death In Vegas". c)I didn't see it myself but some tv station showed Suggs presenting Ian Dury with his award at the 'Q' awards within the last week. Luckily a mate has it for me on video. Did anybody else catch it? d)Everybody seemed to enjoy 'This is your life' simply because it was Suggs, but that shouldn't blind our judgment. John Hasler, Chalky and Toks, Dave Robinson (are the band still on talking terms with him?) and Elvis Costello should have been on it rather than the braindead 'Porky Spice'!! Also, the Chelsea link got more coverage than Madness!!! e)Two weeks ago Channel 4 teletext reviewed my fanzine. Of course my stupid cousin who didn't even know of my musical interests before then told me when it was too late. Did anybody else see it? What did it say? Just to answer Graham Hewson's question. I for one will most definitely be at Carl's Fleadh set. How could anybody not go? It'll be great to hear "You're Wonderful" make a welcome return to the live set. Finally, two mates told me that Liam "John Lennon rip off merchant" Gallagher slagged off Suggs' version of "I'm only sleeping" in 1995. Does this ring a bell with anybody? As a fan of the Beatles, I find Oasis version of "I am the walrus" offensive. Also, none of the remaining Beatles have anything good to say about Oasis whereas John Lennon had good things to say about the Maddies. Anybody remember what Gallagher said?

[total-madness] Time, he may change his time, he'll outage his time.......
Time. so important that the Velvet Ghost once wrote a song about it. Well, today I received a Madness clock from www.vinylclock.co.uk only three days after ordering it. It's basically vinyl turned into a clock (i.e. just the LP with some clockhands added on). You can get them on 7", 12" and LP and they make a great piece of memorabilia. Mine is the Complete Madness album and cost me £14.99. Yeah, I think the Velvet Ghost project is something serious to look forward too. Being the most motivated and least lethargic member of the band (not that achieving the latter is difficult), he'll release new material quicker than you can say "You're Wonderful". Also, from "JTH" to "The Communicator" and from "We are love" to "Michael Caine", he has easily the most diverse songwriting skills in the band. Rather patronisingly, the NME reviewed the "Electric Ballroom" gig and said it was like going to see your mates play. That's what it will be like with Carl as more than any of the 7, he treats the fans like mates and so deserves our support. Speaking of 7, am I write in saying that somebody listed 7 as their least favourite sleeve. I know we're all entitled to our opinions, but ..okay okay we're all entitled to our opinions so I'll leave it at that!! Finally, I now know why we Maddies wear sunglasses. Fear that Suggs will wear bright green clothing like he did on last saturday's edition of "Question Of Pop". Yuk! Vince Carden Madness Unsugged __ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo!

[total-madness] Commisserations, Cancellations and self adulations!!
Today's "sunday people" reports that Robbie Williams is organising a tribute album to Ian Dury, with the proceeds going to cancer. On a different note, can I just point out one thing I'm getting sick of about the Madness comeback...the amount of cancellations: - Hackney Empire 20th Anniversary gig - Dublin leg of the Maddest Show On Earth - Promotional Day for Drip Fed Fred - Madstock 5 - U.S. Tour and plenty more. It's all getting a bit tiring and makes you think twice before booking anything. Most of it is down to bad organisation. Who was stupid enough to think that the Hackney Empire was big enough? Surely permission from the local council would have been the first thing to organise for the promo day. With the last single being launched three months before its release at the greyhound track, why did the band only give two days notice to fans to turn up for the video shoot? "But don't ask me, I'm lost too". And now on a slightly jollier note, Record Collector have reviewed my fanzine!! Yippee.. Vince Carden Madness Unsugged __ Do You Yahoo!?

[total-madness] Dublin / Madstock Replacement
Silvia, 1.If there's a Madness appearance in Europe in June, we'll be doing well, let alone Dublin. Also, tribute bands have stopped coming over here in recent years after milking it with to many gigs too too soon. I could probably help you with accomodation etc, if oyu want to e - mail me off - line. We could even have a Dublin Madmeet. 2. If, as Adele's e - mail suggests, there is no Madstock or any gig in London, it would seem that the chance of the biggest ever meet - up has been lost. Something else must be done instead to get the fans together. Any ideasSCATTY, are you out there?

[total-madness] Spellbinding offer - JTH Vinyl / Irish Mad Meet
Gentlemen and Virgin records haters (!), 1. It gives me great pleasure to announce that the first Irish mad meet was a terrific success. All four of us had a great time! The Vince Foley titled O' Meet took place in Bruxelles bar with the juke box that contained 'Complete Madness', Various Ska compilations and the original versions of Under My Thumb, Apeman and Goodbye Blackberry Way. I also have a new nickname from a guy who overheard our chat."The bloke who hates boybands". As I speak Vince is at a Sting gig probably listening to some waffle like "Save the trees" or "Yoga's great" or "My accountant stole millions from me", so our most sincere condolescenses, VJF. 2. Spellbound Records (Tel:0181-6880419) have two or three copies of Johnny The Horse on 7". It costs £10 or so. As they are made for jukeboxes in Japan, they only have a white ordinary sleeve, but will be major collectors items in years to come. Vince Carden Zarjazz Unsugged __ Do You Yahoo!?

[total-madness] Remembering all so unclearly!!
To answer Gary Saunders query: You won't get Remembering Oh so clear or Ghost of Reverend Greene anywhere unless some of Chas Smash's demos go missing again!! The other unreleased songs from 1986 which you can get are only available as live bootlegs, because they played them in Birmingham and Australia and other places. Also, I think "Remembering oh so clear" is the greatest Madness notion. I'm convinced it is not a song, only a poem that Lee wrote for the M.I.S fanzine. I actually asked him about it recently and he couldn't remember any song from 1986 called that. Also, the words look more like poetry than lyrics. Lots of verses yet no chorus. It could be that people are getting the track mixed up with "Remember the day", which was the original demo for "Nightmare Nightmare", later used by The Madness.

[total-madness] Four track promo!!
Ladies and gendermen,
Got a four track promo today:
- Drip Fed Fred (Conspiracy mix)
- Elysium
- We want Freddie (pity the public didn't)
- Light of the way ("shite of the day" as some fans
might call it, but I don't agree!!!)
It cost me £20, and is CDR - acetate. The front sleeve
is just an ordinary paper sleeve, white with the track
names and times and other useless official info. Still
worth looking out for at fairs and places.

[total-madness] Some harsh truths
There has been a lot of post mortems recently about the anti climax of the whole comeback. Can I bluntly offer a few reasons why things have gone wrong: - People so identify Suggs with Madness that the idea of a Madness comeback wasn't that interesting. His solo albums made it feel like they hadn't been away, even though we all know that there is far more to Madness than the Hastings crooner. - Suggs got up a few people's noses with his (almost) three cover versions from his first solo album. Madness have been affected by this. In fact some members of the band wanted to stick a cover version on the album to have as a safe single, but as one of them said, it wasn't possible because of Suggs solo career. Lee actually would have liked "Lola". This second point should prove my first point too. - Madness went over the top with the cabaret act. It felt like they hadn't been away, whereas Blondie's comeback got a lot of attention because they had made a clean break. That's why Q magazine wanted to cover the Blondie comeback but not the Madness one. A comeback about 1994 or 1995 would have got a top 5 album, lots of attention and some hit singles. - 4 years ago, I wrote in a fanzine that "You're Wonderful" should have been the comeback single. It really would have made the public stand back and take notice. This really was something unexpected. - Albums need promotion. Whereas you can blame radios for not playing the singles, albums need promotion. Let's make a comparison. The recent Pet Shop Boys and Eurythmics albums had posters everywhere. Nobody will tell me they're bigger than Madness. Virgin can't argue with this point. In 1995, Madness sold out Dublin's Point Theatre to an 8,000 capacity. In 1999 no promotion resulted in about 1,500 tickets only sold. Proof of how vital promotion is. - Johnny The Horse as a single was a cock up. It's a great song but the singles markets are for kids. DO WE THINK LOVESTRUCK DID AS WELL AS IT DID BECAUSE 10,000 30 - 32 YEAR OLDS WENT OUT AND BOUGHT THE SINGLE. No, the kids did, and JTH is a song that isn't as immediately as catchy as Lovestruck, so adults would only appreciate it. Also, singing about a homeless guy being kicked to death is no longer trendy in the current music scene. - The "old boys getting back together tag carries a lot of scepticism. There's nothing the boys can do about this. - When JTH flopped, that was it. CD:UK and other kids programmes didn't want a band who couldn't get in the top 40 and radio stations likewise. One mistake and you're gone. Drip Fed Fred was too late. - Music has changed even within the last four or five years. I remember radio stations wouldn't play Take That at the start of their career, as it was deemed sad. Now these manufactured puffs (sorry boy bands) are the trendiest things in music.

[total-madness] Let me show you the Light of the way
Just to add a few bits and bobs to compliment Vince Foley's review of the Light Of The Way Mix: 1. Not is it only gospel like in its musical style but the theme is almost religious like : "For I have seen the light of the way". The heavy rejoiceful vocals almost conjure up an image of the Hollywood blockbuster "Sister Act" or Blur's hit "Tender". Sounds like the kind of reflective upbeat song that somebody would write after coming out after a long spell in hospital and everything in life seems great. 2. Two and half minutes long, but it should have been longer. It stops as it is just getting started. 3. The piano is closer to that of the piano solo in "You're Wonderful" rather than Mike's tinkling sound in "Lovestruck". 4. Here the vocals are far more important as the music firmly takes second place. All there is on the musical side to report on is some fairly ordinary play. 5. Both "Dreaming Man" and the other Smyth composed masterpiece "You're Wonderful" left us scratching our heads wondering why they weren't album tracks (even singles?). However, like "We are love", this song has found its place in life as a b - side, I think most people will agree. Well worth the listen, but I don't think I'd go so far as to say that "We want Whoopi Goldberg for our leader". Enjoy! Vince Carden Madness Unusugged __ Do You Yahoo!?

[total-madness] Better Fred than dead!
And now to add to Vince Foley's review of "We want Freddie": 1. Not since the demos of Michael Caine and Uncle Sam has there been a version so worthwhile to listen to and yet so far away from the final version. 2. Lee's vocals start off as if you've put the song on at the wrong speed. You try to correct the speed only to realise you're playing it on cd!!! 3. The vocals early on in the song sound very like Lee on his Crunch! material especially the unreleased gem "Round Trip" with more of those Wild West vocal performances. You can almost see him sitting in a saloon lighting a cigar before some gunfight showdown!! You can easily see why Lee thought the song would be ideal for Ian Dury. I've always thought his vocal efforts for Crunch! resembled the King of the blockheads. You can so imagine Dury singing the Crunch! number "Pop My Top". Good golly Miss Molly, you sure look tasty... 4. This seems to be the version that Suggs bases his own vocal version on when he doesn't have Ian Dury around. 5. Nothing could beat the album version. The demo really lacks the variety of vocals that the album version brings. 6. Mike's solo is absolutely class here. It has a lovely echo and would almost haunt you. Would sound great as part of a theme tune for "Tales Of The Unexpected". 7. Whereas the conspiracy mix ends with the chorus, this ends with the choir boy - like singing. All in all this is not a very commercial version. Has too many unnecessary additions but you'll split your sides when you hear Lee singing "Cock - a - doodle - doo"!! 8. There are one or two funny things added into the lyrics on the cd cover, which you can all find for yourself, but Lee sings a few lyrics differently: - There are scumbags here amongst us. - Only break your knees. (BBC would have loved that) - To the king you must concede. - Peace shall not prevail in Purley. Oh what fun you'll have. Vince Carden Madness Unsugged __ Do You Yahoo!?
