(Quick note... I was planning to purge this from the site during the Cull of 2025 since it's now almost thirty years out-of-date, but having now re-read it, I think it's an interesting keepsake... Younger folks have no idea how rare it was even in the mid-1990s to be able to chat to anyone on-line, let alone one of our musical heroes. The few of us who had internet access use dial-up modems that were prone to lose the connection at random times, and moved with the speed of an especially lethargic glacier. But by crikey, we had some fun back then!)
Saturday, 6th April 1996
What follows is a rough transcription of the Internet Relay Chat with Bernhard
Lloyd (identified as Bernhard) and Alphaville's manager K.P (identified as
d_manager). Be warned that - due to the chaotic and transient nature of the
net and IRC - it might not make a lot of sense; this can be put down to delays
between servers and the sheer excitement of talking to Alphaville.
Also, be aware that spelling and punctuation are in no way perfect. There may
be one or two swearwords. Finally, this is not the complete session: only as
much as I was able to capture.
By the way, "MikeC" is me...
Session Start: Sat Apr 06 22:07:54 1996

MikeC: Monika! Welcome!
Siska: hello Monika
Ron: Hi Monika
MikeC: d-manager: did you mean me?

MikeC: Uh oh, everything's gone quiet.
Outsider: I would just like to say how much I enjoy the band and its music.
bernhard: The picture on the centerfold is view into the mouth of the poodle
d-manager: hanks, outsider. Spread the message.
Dan-: oh.. it's a poodle!! :)
Monika has quit IRC (Dead Socket)
d-manager: Hi, Monika.
Dan-: bernhard: does it mean something?
MikeC: Dan: Surely you knew that it was a poodle!
Rui: it's only a poodle and yet it seems so scary :)
bernhard: RUI , defenitly back to analog SYNTHS
Outsider: Will there ever be a video collection released?
Siska: question: would you consider a fanclub meeting, if time/space available..organized by the Dutch AlphaVille Fanclub?
Dan-: I had no idea it was a poodle!
Ron: Bernhard: ok, here it is: If you had not scored a hit with "Big in Japan", and became famous, where would you be now, and would there still be an Alphaville?
Rui: Berhnard, cool!
d-manager: Have you ever been bitten by a poodle? It hurts.
MikeC: Har har!
Dan- laughs.. never by a poodle
Rui: hahahah! anything that bites hurts!
Dan-: but that poodle woudl hurt for sure!
MikeC: I do believe that they can be quite savage.
Reggie: I've been bitten by a dog much bigger by any poodle
dr_dream: about the new material, I read in a recent interview (in Expressen) that you where going "back to basics", does that mean that we can expect something like Forever Young ?
MikeC: Also, poodles aparantly don't shed their hair.
bernhard: Nothing means something!
d-manager: Poodles are bitches.
MikeC wonders why he's talking about poodles all of a sudden.
Outsider: Alpaville videos are wonderful, but I haven't seen any in years...
Dan-: but what does the poodle stand for in Prostitute??
MikeC: KP, not all poodles are bitches. The more savage ones are sons of bitches.
dr_dream likes "A fish called Wanda" they kill 3 poodels in that one :-)
Siska feels a bit ignored...
Rui: Bernhard, are you guys using Waldorf? Wave, Microwave, Pulse?
Ron: 2nd question: Are there any possibilities for an Alphaville video compilation of some sort?
d-manager: Call iup every bloody station and request them.
MikeC: Siska: Hello
bernhard: The poodle is a symbol
MikeC: clash
d-manager: Have done a compilation and you can soonb get it rhough the fanclubs.
Rui: KP, cool!
Dan-: a symbol to what? i am sorry if I am being dumb here...
bernhard: H E L L O S I S K A
Siska: MikeC: yes, hello
MikeC: A video compilation! Yeah!
MikeC: Siska: How are you?
Outsider: Great! A video compilation!
dr_dream: yes!
Siska: BernHard: jaja, hallo...
d-manager: is mike still wondering?
Prican has joined #alphaville
Ron: Great!
Siska: MikeC: I asked my question 5 times now..and your only talking about poodles...
MikeC: Hi, Prican
Outsider: What about a B-Side compilation? I'm wearing out my copy of 'Seeds'.
MikeC: Is that who I think it is?
d-manager: dan talks in a different language.what is it?
bernhard: DAN you only have to remember what you think about poodles
MikeC: P-Rican? Can it be?
Siska: MikeC: I said it like 3 times: I'm ok, thank you :)
Prican: Hi! I am really Elvin, from the mailing list
Siska: and how are you?
Prican: Fine, fine
Dan-: I think poodles are evil demons :)
MikeC: siska: I'm fine (but I only asked once!)
dr_dream: outsider: that would be great...
Dan-: d-manager: dan talks in russian as well
Rui: this is crazy, too uch subject at one time!
Prican: Good one! ;-)
d-manager: I can't hear the b-side compilation tears anylonger. its down to the record company I would say and we better come with something fresh than old. we keep it for later. Seen?
MikeC: Dan: you have poodles on the noodle
Rui: can we have someone moderate a subject at a time!
Rui: it's times liek these that we all miss Emma!!!
Rui: :)
Dan- grins.. Emma.. :)
MikeC: Miss Emma? Yeah, whenever we can
bernhard: WEe would like to do a B side compilation (I really like them), but who cares about a vidoe collection
d-manager: Yeah, forgot about it. He might be a spay.
Prican: I do care for a video collection!...
MikeC: Me too!
Siska: ...
Dan-: bernhard: well.. videos are very cool.. although I never had the opportunity to see any of them
Ron: Bernhard: I think most of your fans care, because very little of us have ever seen an AlphaVille video!
d-manager: poddle noodles. Hey, we make some money from that.
Dan-: but people tend to like videos
Outsider: I have only ever seen 'Big in Japan' on MTV in the US.
Reggie: brb
MikeC: The Alphaville Poodle Noodle Strudel
Reggie has quit IRC (leaving)
d-manager: than you better dont watch any videos.
Prican: Most of us don't have the chance to see AV, so that is a nice substitute
Rui: if you wore some of the clothes and make up from th eearly videos you'd hate videos too! :)
Ron: Prican: right!
Outsider: But I saw Forever Young, Big in Japan, Jet Set, and Dance With Me on Public TV
dr_dream: ron: on VIVA1 and VIVA2 (german music-channels) you see that quite a lot (at least the older ones)
MikeC: Bernhard, did you make videos for ALL the singles?
d-manager: yeah, viva seems to be supportive once in a while.
Ron: dr_dream: Yeah, I heard that. The only dish I own is one to eat from, however...:(
Prican: Maybe a live video is what we need. Since we may be away from a tour...
d-manager: we going to make a poddles video.
bernhard: IT WAS A JOKE! But we still think we could do better ones than we did in the past
dr_dream: ron: :-(
Rui: Bernhard, I was only joking of course.
Ron: dr_dream: yeah
d-manager: right so, we are working on a live video.
MikeC: With poodles?
Dan-: that's cool.. live videos for the masses! :)
Rui: Bernhard, as a teen I thought the images were very cool!
Dan-: mikec: get off the poodles!! :)
MikeC: You started it!
Outsider: I always thought that Alphaville wore the greatest clothes.
Dan-: rui: i think that Prostitute is far from an album for teens...
d-manager: a video about poddle noddle.
Dan-: mikec: it was just a question... :)
d-manager: what have cloth with teens in common?
Rui: Dan, I was referring to FYoung.
Dan-: no videos about poodle noodles!!!
Outsider: Prostitute is an album for anyone who is not afraid to think.
MikeC: Dan, that's coodle! I mean, cool! :)
Ron: Bernhard: Tough question: If you had not scored a hit with "Big in Japan", and became famous, where would you be now, and would there still be an Alphaville?
Dan-: d-manager: teens like funky clothes
shortwav has joined #alphaville

Shortwav: Bernhard, are you chatting from Germany or are you on tour somewhere?

Shortwav: Welcom Elvin...
dr_dream: Bitte, kein deutch !
Rui: okay, let's talk about FY...
Dan-: for the sake of those who don't know german, can we please keep this in english?
Rui: everyone ask Bernhard questions about the FY era...
Monika: Sorry, guys.
Shortwav: Dan, I second that!
Rui: let's try music first, then videos...
Ron: Bernhard: Tough question: If you had not scored a hit with "Big in Japan", and became famous, where would you be now, and would there still be an Alphaville?
Dan-: ron: you are not giving up are you? :)
Siska: Ron: bingo! second time :)
bernhard: I only want that somebody understands me
Elvin has left #alphaville
d-manager: If your mother wouldnt have... what would you do today?
Ron: dan-: I'm gonna hit the sack in a few minutes. This lag is killing me...
Dan-: bernhard: your english seems perfectly fine...
Elvin has joined #alphaville
Rui: we all understand the wonderful music!
Dan-: and we all know english here
Shortwav: Bernhard, Looking back do you consider FY to be far away and much removed from today's music?
Siska: d-manager: that was an insult
MikeC: Hi, Elvin. Are you receiving me, over?
Outsider: I enjoy the upright pianos in the FY video.
Prican has quit IRC (Connection timed out)
Elvin has quit IRC
bernhard: I can't answer this tough question, the only thing i can say is, that i won,t be here talking to you
Ron: bernhard: ok, thanks. Guess you have a point there :)
Dan-: I think that's a sensible answer and that was one heck of a question..
Outsider: The world would be a darker hell without Alphaville.
MikeC: Bernhard, what would you consider to be Alphaville's finest moment?
Monika: Outsider: Good point.
Dan- seconds Mikec's question
Elvin has joined #alphaville
Rui: videos, Bernhard, what was iit like making those early videos?
d-manager: hallo, Rui!!!
Rui: Bernhard, did you guys have input or did they turn out a little less than you guys expected?
Shortwav: Good question, MikeC!
sysop3: ..
bernhard: the pianos in the video were a joke cause there is no piano in FY
Elvin has left #alphaville
bernhard: The finest moment is always the present
Outsider: In one of my Forever Young albums (The one from Germany, I beleive) there was included a poster showing the band lying around on a boat. Was it a prop, or did it belong to one of the guys?
Rui: Bernhard, what is the truth about early management in 1984, making AV waer the clothes and make-up?
bernhard: Making those videos was much fun even if they turned out a bit naiv
Rui: Bernhard, yes, I agree.
Elvin has joined #alphaville
Rui: I think most bands have the first videos turn out very naive looking.
d-manager: Hi, elvin, where are you coming from?
Dan-: bernhard: i always wondered why Romeos turned out to such a different song from the rest of BTB... it was much heavier...?
bernhard: The truth is always a very long story and only in everybodys brain
Rui: Okay gang, let's move on...Afternoons in Utopia! eveyones fave! (it seems)
Shortwav: Perhaps, it would be interesting to Bernhard to know where each of his IRC guests come from?
Outsider: The early clothes were great-- kind of a medievel punk.
d-manager: agree
Rui: can we please try moving on towards Afternoons In Utopia. there should lots to talk about there!
MikeC: KP: Elvin seems to be having trouble getting on. To answer your question, he's from Puerto Rica
Outsider: I am from Maryland, America.
Dan- is from NYC, NY
d-manager: .great. lets p[lay there.
bernhard: WHEN we did that photo on that boat we were so poor that we could not buy a LEGO ship

Rui: Dr Dream! Lucky You!
MikeC is jealous of dr_dream
d-manager: drdream! We will meet you soon!
RallyCub has joined #alphaville
Outsider: One neat thing about Afternoons in Utopia, is that if you flip the tape just as Lady Bright ends on side 2, it starts immediatly at lady bright on side 1... coincidence?
Dan-: mikec: Ireland, Sweden.. at least it's the same ocntinent...
Rallycub: Hey guys!!
bernhard: i'm not Joking , never
Dan-: hi rallyclub
Rui: Okay, Bernhard...where did all the phantasy come form for AiUtopia?

Rui: yeah, that Steve!!!
Shortwav: Rui, are you involved in it?

d-manager: it's a fact.
Outsider: If you listen to it like that, Afternoon never end...
Rui: shortwav, to an extend, but Steve Blackwell is the man!
Elvin has left #alphaville
Dan-: bernhard: question: Why all the obsession with Dolphons in AiU?
MikeC: Outsider: That sounds like utopia to me
Outsider: If Alphaville ever tours US, you can crash at my place. :)
Dan-: Dolphins that is
Shortwav: Rui, yea! I've chatted with Steve via e-mail...
Rui: Bernhard, where did all the phantasy come form in AiUtopia?

Shortwav: Bernhard, what song, in your mind, is most prominent from BBlue?
Elvin: Great! Listening...
MikeC: Bernhard, what would you consider to be Alphaville's finest moment?
Siska: D-manager: I can't tell yet, have to find out reactions
bernhard: Dolphins are as men but more peacefull
dr_dream: bbreathtaking blue: patricias park, is there anything to say about that sond ? I dodn't like it at first..but now i just love it.
Ron will be back in 10 mins (feed the cats and walk the dog)
Rui: Mike, Bernhard said earlier that the finest moment is the present.
d-manager: much more peacfull!
dr_dream: spelling...
Dan-: bernhard: oh... good point! :)
Outsider: Dolphins always smile while men tend to frown.
bernhard: Ther is nothing to say about PP, otherwise there would be lyrics
Dan-: bernhard: Abotu Romeos... why did it turn out so different from most of the other Alphaville songs? so heavy?
dr_dream: guess your right...
Rui: Mike, no problemo! :)
Outsider: Will Songlines ever be released in the US? Or has it been released and I missed it/

bernhard: MY ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART: try everything, and communicate
d-manager: he smiles.
Siska: yes, mike :)
Elvin: Yes Mike!
bernhard: NO MORE ABOUT ROMEOS
dr_dream: bernard: what is your fav song on BB, it you don't like Romeos ?
Rui: Bernhard, being a studio wiz, is that the reason why AV never played live until last year?
bernhard: i like romeos, its just the bad memory, my favourite is SUNMMER RAIN
Shortwav: Bernhard, Understood. What's your favorite song off BBlue?
Shortwav: Bernhard, thanks.
Elvin: Summer is my favorite BB cur too

Adam: Bernhard: What was it like putting Euphoria together? It's my favorite song.
dr_dream: A-HA, thatis
MikeC: Outsider: Me too
Dan-: tv? what does tv have to do with the album?
DENLIN has joined #alphaville
Shortwav: Bernhard, those two songs sure bring a smile to my face...
Elvin: Ariana? this could go for hours...
Dan-: not the Ariana war again!! :)
Outsider: The cheer leader part in Ariana had me rolling... all I could think of was Marion singing with pom-poms...
MikeC: She Fades Away always makes me want to cry.
d-manager: a-ha came second.
Dan- laughs... that's funny
Elvin: That is SOME image!
Rui: hahahah! Marian with pom-poms! i like that!
bernhard: I don't like ariana anymore. the memory you know
Shortwav: Dan, a-ha did a tune called the sun always shines on tv.
d-manager: and softly the poddle wept in the background.
dr_dream: Euphoria is THE best song on Prostiture (maybe Apollo is better), I think it's about politic and the EU, am i right ?
Rui: KP!
Dan-: shortwav: oh! thanx...
Elvin: I guess BB doesn't ring well with Bernhard...
MikeC: KP: You are in BIG trouble! I'll set my dog on you!
d-manager: Yes, Rui.
Rui: no, BB is a bad time in AV history
Dan-: mikec: ok.. let it all out.. what is the big dog obsession? :)
Outsider: Euphoria brings to mind Atlantis.
Rui: KP. no more poodles!
Reggie: d-manager you should op someone else just in case something happens
Rui: until the end!
Siska: poodles are weird...German Sherpards are much cooler :)
d-manager: we hate poddles.
MikeC: I had a poodle called, um, The Breathtaking Blue.
Elvin: POODLES!
sysop3: DONT WORRY I AM OPS HERE
Shortwav: Rui, perhaps we should move on from BBlue.
Adam: I think Euphoria is about Atlantis also.
Rui: yes,...let's forget BB
d-manager: Dont you have poddles in Puerto Rica?
Elvin: We do... we do...
dr_dream: outsider: yeah, the sinking "perfect" world, just like the European Union (u have to live in Europe to understand this)
Rui: Bernhard, why the remixed versions on First Harvest. which sound amazing.
MikeC is now known as Poodle
bernhard: I don't really know what EUPHORIA is about, it is the longest song on the album and the story of the song is much longer
Outsider: I am folding laundry and talking to Alphaville... what a world.
Siska: AlphaVille Live in ... any chance?
Dan-: bernhard: what is the symbolism of iron John and his gold?
Rallycub: Bernhard: what are the new recordings like? sound, feel, messages - any hints as we are anticipating this?
Rui: and Marian is still smiling!
Rui: poor bernhard!
d-manager: Have been talking to ron about it and he connected us with some agent/promoter. We would love to play live. The Paradiso.
Adam: Bernhard: What would you like to talk about? I apologize for all the questions, IRC can be hectic. :)
bernhard: NO BB is my favourite album, maybe you astonished now
Shortwav: Bernhard, has anybody picked the new album up for release in the USA?
d-manager: Lately he smiles a lot.
Dan-: smiling means happy songs :)

MikeC: KP: There are in the Canary Islands
d-manager: Especially if there are some poddles on the slope.
