“Byrdie:

"The worst thing is this new system is much slower and tedious than the old one was.
I am no techie."

I suppose that I _AM_ a techie and yet I get fed up with that kind of crap all the time. I'm old-school though, from the times when it actually mattered to optimise your products.”
“Hi Lisa,
When sparks fly,
a Kimmie track no?
Your dad sounds cool.
I'm probably of a similar age!
For me, electrics to electric guitars was a simple jump.
”
“Steve,

My father was an apprentice sparky before he became a record company exec and married my super mod chic mother. He's so proud about it, too and nearly kills himself trying to re-wire things around the house!

I've always secretly liked that Billy Ocean song "lover boy"....which is a bit embarrassing actually.

This is for all you Madonna haters out there. I think it's hilarious:

“Hi everybody - thought I would see how things were going here and as expected, not much is going on here. Nice to see a message from Steve and also from Alex. Hope you are all having a great time, and also tha twe will meet up here again some day. Or even better, in London like back in 2004 (seems like a lifetime ago). Anyway take care and let's hope for new album next year. Would be nice. Bye ”
“She's recorded a duet with Fibes Oh Fibes, and in a recent interview, she says new album coming out next year.

Good to see you here, Steve!!”
“Hi all,
Sorry,its been a month,many thanks for all greetings.
I was away from home for a few months and had bad pc problems, like none,then had to re apply for broadband and install the wireless etc.
I hate that stuff,its taken weeks.
The worst thing is this new system is much slower and tedious than the old one was.
I am no techie.
Lisa,yes I was a sparkie till I was 17(2 years)but still playing guitar on frozen Yorkshire building sites,£5 a week to work,£5 a gig to play,it was a simple choice!
I then played with loads of acts including Sir Ocean as you said,I should have written them down as I forget some classic acts now.
What is Kim up to these days?”
“Weee! That IS something weird, posting a message here. Is there anyone out there? Has the wild planet become a desert? Was it just a dream sequence? I remember Pierre telling me one day that he might leave Kim for a while, but he always comes back to her. I had the same impression, but I writing on that wall, it seems a million miles away now. I've been waiting for Kim's comeback in music for so long, and now that she did it a few years ago, it feels like if through her music, she gave me the key to give an end to that chapter of my life: my childhood. I'll eternally be grateful for the feelings she gave me with her music and hope she's enjoying a wonderful life in her barn with her family and friends. And, I hope that all the wonderful persons I met here are enjoying their lives too. That KW saga went on on the Internet because people like Pierre wanted his dream to continue without an end. You did with maestria and a lot of creativity, Mr Webmaster. What you created here is really the most beautiful hommage to the singer. And who knows, maybe in 10 or 20 years, we'll be back here, speculating on her next comeback ;-)

Wish you the best


Alex”

“I don't like Mariah, but I love this song and this stylish video clip shot in Paris! Sigh... I wanna go back!

“My dance around the fire tonight is dedicated to you, Steve! Happy Birthday!”
“Happy Birthday Steve,may all your birthday wishes come true.”
“Happy Birthday Steve.

I didn't know you were an apprentice sparky and worked with Billy Ocean!
”
“Mike,

I think "disgusting" is a very strong word. Personally, I'm a little square - I think Madonna went a bit too far when she made the sex book. Then again, it was in the name of art, it wasn't pornography and what's wrong with nudity or sex? It's part of being human - and just like most normal women, Madonna really is selective when choosing partners.
”
“Ok Dave, the story behind AS:

"Yes it's true. Ricky was MISSING from the Band for many years. I think my decision HIT HIM real hard. He felt like a VICTIM especially when there were rumours going round saying, 'SHE HASN'T GOT TIME FOR YOU', and he reacted to this by saying to me, 'YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ON, Kim, and you're behaving like a SCHOOLGIRL. Don't you love me enough? I mean DON'T SAY NOTHINGS CHANGED between us.'

I replied, 'HOW DO YOU WANT MY LOVE?' He told me, 'I just want to be in the Band, that's all. Couldn't that be ANOTHER STEP in your career? Can you imagine THE THRILL OF IT, the two of us performing together again? SAY YOU REALLY WANT ME, Kim.' Well, all things considered, I said, 'You must know I'VE GOT SO MUCH LOVE for you, and I value all my BROTHERS equally.' And so with that, I allowed him back in the Band."

Any resemblance to living persons is purely coincidental and used only for dramatic purposes......hahaha.”
“lisa and T.J.
no offence meant! i agree with what you both said...i just had this mad idea as you can see in the last post xxx
over to you mike...pick an album of your choice and use ALL of the song titles in a posting on here! ”
“lisa and T.J
just "who do you think you are?" i was only comparing the 2 artists and "i wont change the way i feel" about madonna. i know im not "a million miles away" from the truth anyway.its not "too late" for kim to make a comeback,and im sure she will "try again" to get her music heard.....yes i believe "a miracle's coming" and the uk will sit up and listen. so anyway lets hope "heart over mind" rules the thoughts of all and kim's music will once again be prevalent so that all nations can be "touched by her magic". "i believe in you" kim and i hope that others can once again believe in you.for "the light of the moon" belongs to you and your.... "love is".................................forever holy ”
“Lisa, there is a great deal of difference between your parents finding you 'adorable' and Madonna. Surely, you realise that Madonna has been disgusting many times in her career, and now, living through her daughter in a public way is her latest shock tactic. The papers here do not approve, and quite rightly so.

Anyway enough about Madonna. Back to Kim. Dave mentioned "Love Is." It's particularly great to have Steve close the album. That seems generous of Ricki.”
“God, even on Kim's site we still can't get away from the tremendously untalented, desperate old fame-hungry hag Madogga. Do you all HAVE to talk about her like she's an actual artist, nevermind the only person on the planet!? And what the hell does she have to do with Kim or anyone else? It's thanks to people like her that Kim's recording relationship with the UK is non-existent now!”
“My God, I just saw the picture. It is disguisting. It doesn't look real, looks like it's been superimposed.”
“Now, Mike......

I copied Madonna's Like a Virgin look at the tender age of 8, and my parents thought it was adorable, not vulgar.

Neither of us know what kind of mother Madonna and Kim are. I'm sure they absolutely love their children though.

Agree, Madonna sometimes looks old despite how hard she works out and sometimes she looks very fresh and hip. Kim appears to be a bit more balanced though....

So long as both of them are genuinely happy thats all that really matters.

If Kim's happy carrying a little extra weight (as an average nearly 50 something woman walking down the street she would look amazing in shape, but unfortunately the media has such unrealistic expectations)If Madonna wants to defy the expectation of how a woman should look at her age, more power to her!”
“Hahaha, well you know what I think of Madonna. What's the point in spending all that time in the gym trying to look young, when there are parts of her that look older than 70?

But worse than that, getting 12 year old Lourdes to do her "Like A Virgin" image is disgusting!!

I really hope that Madonna fans wake up and not try to justify this.

Kim allows Nature to do what it does and that is a sane way to live, and of course, she's a far better mother.

”
“hi everyone just popping in to say a quick hello,i see the posts on here are getting a little sparse so i think i'll drop in a bit more and keep things going.well ive listened to everything that kims recorded now or at least i think i have lol and i can't think of a better album than "love is" i think that was her peak and every song on it is so good there's not am album filler on it.her voice is still sounding good aswell and she's looking good for her age unlike madonna(omg i wish she'd stop showing her bits it's gross...i mean i'm no oil painting but pleeeaaaase cover yourself up woman!!)
....over to you mike (no swearing) ”
