Questions for Bernhard Lloyd

[wii]

Now that you have started the Atlantic Popes project, will there be more released from this project or will you start a another one, or will you dedicate more time with Alphaville ? This is probably something everyone here would like to know.

http://www.alphaville.org

[Bernhard Lloyd]

Yes there will be more releases from AtlanticPopes :-)(I have been working with Max for 11 Years....there is a lot to release...)
and as far as I know today, there is no other project ;)
and there will be Alphaville-stuff sooner than you might think :-))

+0:-)

[Adiville]

Oh Bernhard !!!
Great news you're bringing to my eyes and ears :) !!!
So i heard it right at the party - 11 years... wow !
Ummm... what is "Bell II" ?
Guten nacht,
Adi.

@ville - forever and ever.

[wii]

Yes, this is great - so Bernhard, you will be more involved with Alphaville again? This is really good, some people out there thought that you were on your way out, and even more since the Atlantic Popes started, but I´m glad this is not so.

http://www.alphaville.org

[Bernhard Lloyd]

@alpha-x: I am Bell II. guess what it means?

@all: I suggest, that this should be the topic for all specified Questions for me,
if there are some. Will you get an answer?
Just be patient. <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Bernhard...
Why are you called Kalki, and where did that come from?:)

[Adiville]

&quot;Kalki&quot; ?!?
Where did that come from...<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

@ville - forever and ever.

[Avil]

Adi...I have no idea, that´s why I ask.

*I´m your best friend-the dream*

[Adiville]

No. I meant to say - where did it come from?
I never heard about this word/name &quot;KALKI&quot;...
Where did you hear about it?

@ville - forever and ever.

[Staffan]

common knowledge. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'm a danger in your paradise.

[Avil]

Yes, I understood that.
As Staffan said, it´s common knowledge.

Hi Bernhard! I'm a little synthesizer freak who would like to know: Are you creating all of your work on a computer now!? I remember you wrote something about using plug-in FX! If you're using the Logic software, how is it?? Co's I'm working with a older Hardware sequencer (roland) and I'm thinking about switching over to Logic! would you recommend it?? or should I invest in a new sequencer? (thinking Akai MPC2000) Best regards Sean Vindahl

[Adiville]

Oh... the good old ROLAND :)
I have a friend who is a ROLAND freak.
He says: &quot;Im in love with Rolanda !!!&quot; <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

@ville - forever and ever.

[Bernhard Lloyd]

@alpha-x: : Im a stupid girl... WHAT IS Bell II ?!?
Well, i didn´t promise to answer stupid questions.<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
@addison: What do Marian is thinking about that ???
I hope he likes it.<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>
How many hours are you on the web per day ???
Up to 12 hours....maybe more.... <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>
Do you like this or it's just for....working ??
It´s for working AND i like it <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
What do you think about AV fan's web sites ??
Well, i think they are absolutely amazing..especially this one.
:)<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_8ball.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>what more can I say....
@Avil, alpha-x: just remember what I said to the first question.... <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>
@spawn: Are you creating all of your work on a computer now!?
Yes, except the synthsounds.
I remember you wrote something about using plug-in FX! If you're using the Logic software, how is it??
Yes I´m using Logic on a mac. It´s fantastic. I can only recommend it.
Co's I'm working with a older Hardware sequencer (roland) and I'm thinking about switching over to Logic! would you recommend it?? or should I invest in a new sequencer? (thinking Akai MPC2000)
The only reason for me to buy a hardwaresequenzer would be if you play live.
Otherwise: Logic or ...maybe LOGIC <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Im ok <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
I asked you in HH what is your fave song and you thought that i was talking about other artist (not AV).
So.... what is your fave song by a non-AV artist ?

@ville - forever and ever.

[Avil]

Bernhard...Hahahahaha...I mean, that wasn´t so hard, was it?*lol*

*I´m your best friend-the dream*

[Avil]

Bernhard...
When did you and the other guys in AV meet for the first time? And I mean the VERY FIRST time. Were and how??
I would like to know this for the book.
What were you doing for work back then?


*I´m your best friend-the dream*

[SPAWN]

Thanks Bernhard! I'll look into it! I've never really trusted software sequenzing on a PC, as they always crashes! But if Logic is stabil and tight, I'll use it! Btw. What synthesizer is your favourite? I just love the Yamaha An1x. I use it in all of my work (also in our version of &quot;A victory of love&quot;) <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle> Hope you'll like it!

[Adiville]

Dear Bernhard !
A question :
Why do you publish and sale AP only on the internet...?

@ville - forever and ever.

[Bernhard Lloyd]

@alpha-x: I love the last Wolfsheim-Album...every song on it...and "summer moves on" a-ha.
We like to be independent and the net gives us the chance to stay like that...to sell the cd in normal recordstores, you need a big record-company....they are no fun<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>
@avil: I went to the same school as frank....so I met him when I was eleven...but we didn´t talk to each other then..
I met marian in berlin when I was 19 ...we met in a flat of a friend ....really long story...................
@spawn: hmm you are using a pc...you should also try cubase then...as far as I know that´s better for pc. i´m using a mac, very reliable for making music. MAC!!!!
I also got the AN1x, it´s great...but the NORDLEAD is better I think...it´s for sure easier to use...yeah go on with your music!
I found out: it´s not the equipment that counts, it´s the idea

+0:-)

[Adiville]

Funny... I just received a tape of Wolfsheim from a German fan...
Now i should really listen to it <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

[SPAWN]

&gt;&gt;I found out: it´s not the equipment that counts, it´s the idea&lt;&lt;

True, but I think the right equipment helps one alot with creating the idea

I agree that the Nordlead is easy to use, but the An1x is just as easy ... when you don't include hardcore matrix programming <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

[Avil]

AI love long stories...*lol*
But Bearnie,how did you and Mertens start to talk to eachother then?

[Adiville]

Bernhard,
I've listened to my Wolfsheim tape and its very good !
I can understand why you like them - its your music style :)

[Bernhard Lloyd]

Okay Bernhard! I got a question :)
German band Dune (Makes Pop-rave) Do you know them? and if so, what do you think of them!?
Btw. I know you love the Roland products, and you have most of them (the Great ones like JP-8 aso.) But do you also have the TB-303 in some corner of Lunapark?

Best regards

[goldkehlchen]

I would like to know, why the popes have no faces? Will there be photos from Bernhard and Max? That would be GREAT! Are you the purple or the yellow pope, Bernhard? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

That´s all
Babs

[mAjor]

Mr. Lloyd - What do you think of the DS#9 songs where you were not involved? Which one is your favourite?

[Adiville]

Bernhard,
about the DVD - i hope that you're planning to make a copy on a video tape..
sorry but i believe in videos... :)

[Avil]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat????
NO Bernie in the DS9 songs????????????

*I´m your best friend-the dream*

[Adiville]

NO...
You werent at the AP chat... <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>
Thats why Marian took me and Alessandra to work with him. KIDDING <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

[Avil]

adi: No I couldn´t get in to the chat...
That´s too sad!

*I´m your best friend-the dream*

[Adiville]

Naaaa... Bernie is ok.
He will make it up for us :)
He said that we'll see some AV works soon... (Marian + Bernd)...

@ville - forever and ever.

[Bernhard Lloyd]

Hi everybody
first of all I want to answer spawn:
Unfortunately I don´t know Dune. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
Yes I love most of the Roland-stuff, and
I still got the Jupiter 8 <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
but I never had a TB 303....and Lunapark-studio doesn´t exist anymore....since 1995.
@goldkehlchen: Well I won´t tell you if I´m
the purple or the yellow pope....but isn´t it obvious? There will be fotos....soon. I just have to convince Max.
@mAjor: defenitely "Moonboy" that´s a fantastic song.:)

Mr Lloyd,

I can say that all AV-fans wants a Alphaville DVD!!
All the AV-videos in high quality and much more on a
GOLDEN-AV-DVD!!!

[SPAWN]

mmmm... JP8 <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>
Okay! I didn't know about Lunapark! <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
Dune is quite good! Nice synthesizer sound and a lovely singer (Verena Von Strenge) <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Btw. I know you're not into Record labels, but Edel records, how're your feelings about them? do you know if they are any good!?

those popes seems very friendly. they are so sweet !
who designed them - max <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle> did you help <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

[mAjor]

Bernhard. I also enjoy Moonboy. The first time I heard it, I thought of a local South African band QZoo's (or Qkumba Zoo) Torn!

[Bernhard Lloyd]

Hello
@hardin: what a nice picture...reminds me on a long forgotten time<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
@spawn: Edel records is a very big independent company....they seem to be ok.
@alpha-x: the popes are designed by Max...I couldn´t do such a thing....and yes those popes are VERY nice...as far as I know them.
@mAjor: yes, moonboy is fantastic. Marians voice sounds incredible!

[Avihai]

Hi Bernhard, I wanted to know why Popes isn't

Yours,Avihai.

[Adiville]

Avihai : you can find the cd ONLY online !

Bernd,
what inspires you when you write music for AP/AV <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

[Stefan]

A question, which is turning in my mind for years:
When we listen to your songs it´s easy to hear, that you have a huge talent. Now, when I listen to the charts there are a lot of songs making millions, but they sound like easy to be made by you...have you never thought about making a hit in a few minutes and get the money for this?

[Stefan]

And another one: What is the best time on a day to make music for you? It sounds like the night...?

[wii]

Bernd:

Back in december 1996 at the first Alphaville party in Berlin, we heard a version of Wishful Thinking similar to the early live version, that was never released, with a similar intro that of the live version.

Is it possible to get this somehow?

http://www.alphaville.org/images/dance.gif

[SPAWN]

Hi Bernhard! As you may have already guessed, Am a little synth. freak! I was wondering if you're going to put some pictures out of your studio, on the AP site? would love to see your setup! <img src=icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>

<center>Kind regards

*We are the future - The future is now*</center>

[stardustdawn]

ok I have a question for Bernhard: you don't like to perform live, but would you ever consider travelling with the live band for some public appearances? I for one would have loved to have met you in SLC, even if I didn't have the opportunity to see you on stage.

[Bernhard Lloyd]

Hello everybody!
@avihai: AP is only available online:
www.atlanticpopes.de (Germany)
www.hotstuff.se (Europe)
www.adifferentdrum.com (ROW)
@alpha-x: that depends...sometimes it´s just the knobs of my nordlead telling my: "time to fiddle"....sometimes it´s the bad weather...sometimes it´s a good song on the radio....if I could only answer this question..
@Stefan: I know what you mean...I think the same sometimes. But the most simple sounding songs are the most difficult to create. Believe me!
Yes I´m a nightworker...I tried to change it , but I get this creative kick at 11.00 pm...whatever I do.
@wii: you are probably talking about the first demoversion produced in France....somewhere on a hidden tape in my studio. let´s see!?
@SPAWN: hi you little synthfreak...ther will be pictures...but it´s not at all spectacular.
@stardustdawn: strange suggestion to be honest....sounds like a waste of time all this travelling...not that I wouldn´t love to meet you ...but there are other possibilities like the Hamburg -party....what do you think?

[Adiville]

ok ok - here is a real question :
all the instrumental songs are your work, right?
Patricia's park, Joyride, colors, brothers in china, Thats all (of course)....
Can you tell us a little about 1 or 2 ?
the idea behind it, how you worked on it...

@ville - forever and ever.

[syntetico]

Well,i was in New Zealand for 3 weeks,and just came back to the hell of London.
I was listening to AP there,and it was great...
I guess "World" had the best effect,and now my girlfriend is addicted to AP now...good news.
Anyway,just to finish quickly,i want to say that i love this album,and Max's voice is great,and yes different from Marian's one...but who cares,the result is here.Good music,good lyrics...and a moment of happiness everytime i listen to this album.

Thanks Bernd,thanks Max.

ps: Is max french or not???

love you all.

[SPAWN]

Hi Bernhard,
I'm about to buy a "new" sampler, and I'm thinking Yamaha A3000 or the Akai S-2000. (both used!)But the problem is I don't really know them! Maybe you could help me as you have good taste in equiment. (I only know my Emax II) Your help would be Appreciated alot!

Kind regards the Synth. freak! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

[syntetico]

well Spawn,

Both of these machines are good,it's just a matter of money!!!
i think Akai has a very strong experience in the domain,but Yamaha is also well known.

If i was you,i'll go for Akai

Syntetico

[SPAWN]

Thanks syntetico, but I've made up my mind! maybe Akai is leading regarding samples but the A3000 is much better than the S-2000 regarding ease of use, quality of sound, and FX! I checked them out last night at a friend of mine who owns both. <img src=icon_smile_kisses.gif border=0 align=middle>

[Bernhard Lloyd]

HI @ ALL

@SPAWN: I don´t know anything about the Yamaha sampler. The leading companys regarding samplers are AKAI and EMU.
I´m an AKAI addict...since 13 years...although I´m using basically the samplecell inside my Protools TDM-System nowadays.
If you are used to work with emax, you should really think about another EMU-sampler...don´t know which one...cause they are considered to have the best sound.

HI AGAIN!
@stardustdawn: well I don´t know Stardustbunny...but why not?
@avil: I know sweden alittle bit...it´s anice country...so why not?
@alpha-x: You should ask my wonderful girlfriend if it´s worth to jump out of the window because of me....but why not?
@alpha-x again: I´m serious now! brothers in china and colors are basically Marians work.
Patricia´s park is by Ricky
and my stuff is always an expression of the mood I was in...not that much to say about it, at least not for me.
@syntetico: Thanks a lot for the compliments, and let your girlfriend be addicted...it´s not unhealthy
Max is not french, he is german, but he usually spents half of the year in France an speaks nearly perfectly french. He loves the fench culture like I do....hmmm the food.

I dont know what you guys eat in Germany but the PIZZA at the Aquasport hotel was a real killer! What do you say? :)
ICE is one of my fave songs in this album and as a romantic song i gotta say that it sounds great in french!

[AV_defender]

hi bern

i was just wondering that..if i could take 16 years of your life(like make you so much younger)and send you and all the ones you want to have with you back to the 80´s,would you say yes or no??


and tell me:what was it like being young and famous in 1984??

your defender

[wii]

Bernd,

I have a question:

The succes and the experiences of 1984. Would you like to do all that over again?

http://www.alphaville.org/images/dance.gif

[AV_defender]

willy
your question was better expressed than mine..

your defender

[syntetico]

well Spawn,let me know if you are interested in making some music together one day,and everbody is welcome,we could make songs all together...and call it "The Utopian Project and the 12 works of wonder"...

Syntetico


...You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia...

[SPAWN]

Well I’m not that interested in Emu systems anymore after they began working with Creative Labs. I think the sound is to cold and clean for me…. yes I know, I’m weird! <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle> I love my Emax II but I only have 1MB to work with, and the memory chip kits aren’t available anymore. <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle> That's the only reason I'm looking for a new sampler. But If you’re a Akai addict?? Maybe I should take a closer look at the S-2000. But I’ve heard that it’s not that great to work with…. Bernhard help!!! I need a Akai man’s opinion on the S-2000 <img src=icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle>

[SPAWN]

@Syntetico – I’m always interested in working with other people, so who knows… maybe in a near future :) but our own work has to be completed first. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> (work that will be available on www.eturnia.dk When I’ve figured the Linux Mandrake software out! <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>)

[syntetico]

Sure Spawney!!! there's a hell lot to do even for me...
I have to go and see my friend Robert Enforsen (ex-elegant machinery,Enforce...)in sweden at the end of this month in Malmoe,so...
But why not,in a near future for sure.

And hey Bernd,the french culture is not only the food---there are some nice other things to do and see,and also the girls are pretty...hehehehehe
Take care all of you

[Bernhard Lloyd]

Hi everybody
this is the third time that I try to post a message to this certain topic. Hey Willy, the system doesn´t want ma answers...the third night in a row..doesn´t matter ...next try.
@wii/AV_defender: You probably know "Back to the future"....Yes if I would have the chance to go back and correct a few things in the past....I would do it.
But it wouldn´t make sense to do it again...that would be boring. Like in this other movie (I don´t know the english name) where this guy has to repeat and live the same day over and over again.
1984 was fantastic, and I wouldn´t talk to all of you, if it wouldn´t have happend. But this is 2001...and it´s fantastic as well.

[Bernhard Lloyd]

WOW it worked!
so more now.
@spawn: I don´t know the S 2000. I only worked with S1000/1100/3000
But I think it´s easy to use, very logical...but if you are used to handle an emax, you should stick to EMU....different philosophy of handling.
And they all sound the same these days...more or less.
@syntetico: Yes I know more than just confit de canard....and don´t remind me on the french girls...that makes me nervous.<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hey-hey i see Bernd,french girls are making you nervous!!! especially in the south isn't it...life is spicey out there,and the girls evn more!!! anyway Bernd,"confis de canard" is quite good,but there's a hell of a lot of things to try.
Fresh fish in Sete,near Montpellier (where i come from),you can't stop eating different species of sea food,and belive me,in summertime,it's damn good,let me know if you come there one day!!! i'll show you what real food is Bernd...hahaha.

Here I am *Waving* so here's the question:
Do you and the other band members ever pull practical jokes on each other and if so what kinds, did anyone get mad? What do you think was the best joke ever played, And who were they played on and by who? HeH!

Cruising in cocktails...

@Nicka: I do not have alterior motives to embarass you...you paranoid person you...I think it would be cool to know if The Greatest Bernd and Marian and/or other band members have played jokes on each other...like put toilet paper all over each others houses or anything like that

I was thinking about something less crazier like making fun of someone because of something...
You know, one day you can say something really stupid and your friends will always remember it... <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Stuff like that... but if Trent wants to talk about Bernd and Marian in the toilet - go ahead <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> he he he ....
By the way, i see that you use Bernd's "@" to reply. COOL !

Well Mr. Lloyd, as you said, best time for your music-work is after 11 pm, so now my question: What are you doing before 11pm?
What is a typical B. Lloyd- day like?
How looks a good day for you, how a sad one?:)<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

[syntetico]

i guess Bernd's life is an Alphavillian one before 11pm,and an Atlantican one after that time...if there's still some energy left for sure.

Com'on Bernd keep concentrated!!!

I dont think that Bernd and Max will go so far with live concerts but what about some intimate parties with fans? with songs and some beautiful AP music... :)
We know how much you love parties, Bernie <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Is there any "holy" av-song, which is not aloweded to be coverd?

@Adi: I didn't know that people in Israel said mates too...I learn something new everyday..I wonder how many other countries say mates...I do know though that Americans have a different meaning to this word and I have a friend that picks on me often when I say mate to a guy, always telling me that I sleep around alot LOL I constantly have to remind him that mate to me means friend, not lover...(It is like an American saying instead of "Hey! Thanks mate" They say "Hey! Thanks man" He continues to pick at the way I talk anyway..Him and I have some interesting conversations..Torstein and I have fun with him picking back though...

@"The Greatest Bernhard" I was talking to me sister this evening and she asked me to ask you two questions...1. If she sent you a Christmas card...where would she have to send it...She's made these really nice cards for you and Mr. Gold but not sure where to send them....2. (Bloody hell I forgot 2...*drums his fingers on the desk*) Oh yeah! She was listening to AP and said "You know...they have two songs in French...You think they will ever do one in German?" I said I don't know...but I can ask...So mate...Ever think of doing one in German?

I heard it more than one time: Bernhard is more than a nice person and his girlfriend is even more than this, she was realy nice to the fans...

[AV_defender]

@Bernhard:i have a little question that i have asked basically all people who has children...tell me, whats it like being a dad and what was your feelings like when you got your first/second child?

also i'd like to say a big thanx that you appeared on the party, and thanx for the autographs=)

I'm just a shadow-You are the light

[wii]

I made this topic sticky, so it will always stay on top.

[hardin]

TO BERNHARD: Do you know if Marian Gold have any education. If so, what is he educated for?
Also, the same question of Frank... wich gymnasial education did he get?

[Adiville]

Didnt Marian study art ?
Stefan : It is just a rumour of course.
You've never met Bernd and his girlfriend.....

[micki]

marian studied art, and also passed High School...Frank studied music science (and Psychology) if I remember right...

[hardin]

ok thanks

[Agnes]

As much as I know, Frank has got a higher degree in public administration (he himself mentions it at his own homepage - only in German[wink])
But please, correct me if I'm wrong.

[wave]

[micki]

what does public administration mean?

[Agnes]

Working in certain offices (e.g. local governments, ministries, land registry, etc.).
But I don't know exactly what Frank really does. All I know is that he lives in Köln, but from 1991 or so he spent about 6-7 years in Paris to enrich his knowledge in arts.

[micki]

yeah, I've read that too...but I had also the picture that last year he moved back to Paris for a few months cause he liked it so much...I'm not sure though...

[Agnes]

As much as I know he left France in 1998, since then he lives in Köln.

[micki]

yes, he left France, but didn't he move back for a few months a couple yrs back or so, even when his main homeplace is in Köln...?

[Agnes]

I don't know any detail about it, but it can surely be true.

[Bernhard Lloyd]

@AV_defender: i don´t think that you can describe those feelings...it´s fot sure outstanding...especially when they are born...but in general for me as a dad it´s a feeling of responsibility....to let them grow up...to show them the world ...but i try to leave them their own perception....which is quiet difficult sometimes...and to be honest...sometimes they are just getting on my nerves[banghead]
betwen the second and the first child is no big difference....you just think that when the second child arrives: "i know how it is" BIG ERROR...everything is different
@hardin: marian, frank and me have basically the same education, we´got abitur, meaning we finished gymnasium....frank and marian did some studies ...but at least marian never finished...the last thing i know about frank is that he lived in cologne...haven´t heard from him for a while

[Adiville]

I know what you mean Bernd.....about the difference between the 1st and the 2nd child.....
My parents could never guess how different my younger sister will be - comparing to me.....
She is, what people call, SPECIAL :-)))
She's the most beautiful gift my parents could ever give me !!!

[micki]

oh yeah, tell me about it :) my dad thought I was a real devilchild, and that's why he was not so keen on the idea of a second child, but he was least expressed relieved when it turned out that she was obedient and beautiful - far from stubborn and ugly me :) sure me and my sis have a lot in common (like for example our little harmless maliciousness and yeah, she can be stubborn), but otherwise we are quite like day and night =) and thatä's good - who could stand two exemplars of me :)) and besides, it makes life more exciting!

Good luck with your kids Bernd!

[Alien]

it's great to have younger brother or sister.......

[micki]

yeah, it can b a real blessing, sometimes :)....then there are other times ;))...

[Feanira]

Alien, I don't think so. For example, my friend has yanger brother of 16 years old. And they are simply fighting for the computer when they try to shear it. Her brother is obsessed with computer games!!! Mad gamer!!!

@Bernhard: The new music on the homepage....are they from the new Album [question] [question]
