    Forum Update/Message from Mika

    in Mika News and Press

    Posted

    Hey all...

     

    Looks like the forum is back, after more than 36 hours down!

    Special thanks to StandardToaster for his efforts :) and to

    all of you for your patience.

     

    As you may have heard, earlier today, Mika learned of the problems we've been having with the forum and he wrote to tell us he would look into it.

     

    We received this message from him and he asked that we share it with all of you:

     

    "This is a message to you and to all the members of the MFC.

     

    This note is in response to the email with your account of the problems that you have been encountering recently. I am extremely sorry at the way the transfer of ownership of the MFC has taken place. Transfer of ownership aside, the MFC, in my eyes, is a self-created community that has been so supportive and pro-active over the past year that I want and aim to help it in as many ways as I can. This is why I purchased the website.

     

    I will openly admit that I am disappointed in the technical difficulties that have recently been encountered and was unaware of the many shortcomings that you have been experiencing because of the quality of the server. Please do not underestimate the extent to which I value everything that you have done and continue to do. In a way I am glad that this has come to my attention so strongly in the past 30 hours. For it means I can now make appropriate changes, not only to restore the MFC to the technical functionality that you are used to, but also make significant technical improvements. This will hopefully include more personal email and online community functions (such as personal fan pages). This has already been in the works and the server that we have been using has merely been a stop-gap. This does not excuse the fact that the website is down. I ask you one thing, and that is to bear with me while I find out what has happened and fix it as soon as possible.

     

    Please feel free to post this. I too am now waiting for some answers.

     

    Mika"

     

    So... as Mika said, please bear with us. The forum is back for now, and

    we're hopeful that the downtime is behind us... but you never know...

     

    That said, we're optimistic that the future of MikaFanClub.com is brighter

    than ever! :thumb_yello:

    Thanks for posting to the MFC Mod/Admin Team and to Mika! :thumb_yello:

    I've just read this message on myspace and i'm really happy, I needed this like you all I guess. I don't know the reason but while I read or hear something from him I can feel he's good and this is always a wonderful news for me :wub2:

     

    thank you Mika!

    Mikagasmic Thread Part 11!

    in Chat about Mika

    Posted

    Oh, sorry, I'm a bit late, I think :roftl:, but I know! This one is from Q magazine. There was a one-page article on the next page. I had to read it in the shop, because I couldn't afford to buy it at the time (Q is veeeeeeeery expensive in Poland :thumbdown:).

     

    I found the article on internet:

     

     

    He's pop's golden goose. Though rubbish at blagging kitchen units.

     

    2007 - How was it for you?

    A tornado.

     

    Funnily enough, Q are calling you the 'Phenomenon Of The Year'.

    [Archly] Are they now?

     

    Do you feel like a phenomenon?

    Nope. I feel very lucky. And I feel very surprised. It was amazing. I learned alot. I really learned alot about so many things.

     

    What did you learn, Mika?

    That I can be a bit of a bastard. I have to say that the success was a surprise, but the things that came as a result of the success were not a surprise. If anything, they were cliche and I didn't really get much enjoyment out of them. One thing I've learned is that when things are going badly, people will let you do whatever you want. It's when things are going well that you have to push for what you believe in: from the cartoon artwork of the single - which I do with my sister - to the vibe of a show, to the opening acts. I never pushed so hard for anything.

     

    That's because everyone wants to steer the golden goose.

    Yeah, and I'm not willing to play into it. I think it's obvious that I've turned into a golden goose for quite a few people. That wasn't intentional. Believe me. I don't think you make a record like the one I made with the intention of becoming a golden goose. Probably the opposite.

     

    But what about the wonderful world of showbiz? Wasn't it...

    ...As naff as I thought it would be?

     

    What you always wanted?

    But I get really embarrassed about **** like that. I don't want to be on the guest list. I'd rather wait in the queue.

     

    There must be perks. Didn't you get a discount on some kitchen units in exchange for posing in the brochure?

    [Naughtily] Mmmmm... Yeah... Never got them.

     

    What, never got the units?

    I never got the discount.

     

    So you posed for the brochure, and they charged you full price?

    I didn't pose for the brochure. I was basically trying to blag it and seeing if it would work. And it didn't. I probably had to pay more. For being a dick.

     

    How's the kitchen looking?

    It's a building site. It's taken seven ****ing months. I don't know how long it takes to build a kitchen... perhaps I've been sent to the bottom of the list for being cheeky.

     

    Cst your mind back. It's Grace Kelly's fifth week at Number 1. At what point did you think 'Enough already'?

    It was... surprising how long it went on for.

     

    Apparently some people would agree.

    I mean... I get a lot of that. But what am I supposed to do? I was considered this underground guy who was making credible pop music and as soon as it became popular, it made me victim to a lot of polarised opinions in the media.

     

    The Guardian said listening to your album was 'like being held at gunpoint by Bonnie Langford'.

    That got me alot of attention. [snickers] And thats the only thing I'll say on that.

     

    Do you know who Bonnie Langford is?

    I'm with Noel Coward on this one.

     

    In what sense, exactly?

    Oh, you know what Noel Coward said.

     

    About Bonnie Langford?

    No. Not about Bonnie Langford. About the press in general [he means: 'Criticism and Bolshevism have one thing in common. They both seek to pull down that which they could never build'].

     

    Brian May rode to your rescue.[May lambasted the writer of the review on his website.]

    Oh yes. He did.

     

    Are you andhe still internet chums?

    No. [Appalled] We were never... internet chums. We'd met a couple of times and he's... [cagily] a great guy.

     

    What have you enjoyed on TV this year?

    That's a funny one. That's more of a TV Weeky question, isn't it?

     

    Don't you write all of your songs with the TV on?

    That's true. You're right. It's often muted.

     

    So, what have you enjoyed on TV?

    I like Heroes. It's amazing. Don't ruin the end. I haven't been watching it on telly. I stole it off the internet.

     

    Kanye West says you're his fashion icon of 2007.

    That's nice.

     

    Don't you buy three of everything, clothes-wise?

    Yeah. It's become a problem, actually. If I find a pair of shoes that are good, then I get them all. I liked these silver shoes that I was wearing at my shows, so I got the entire stock. But I use them all. I'm far too cheap to waste anything, believe you me.

     

    I've read yo have a problem with restaurant staff, that they find you unintentionally rude?

    Yeah. I think it comes down to being an idiot in social situations; when it comes to communicating properly.

     

    What can we do to rectify this situation?

    Darkly Spend more time talking to you.

     

    The worlds your record shop these days. Bloc Party put a song on iTunes they wrote a fortnight earlier. Tempted?

    No. I don't believe in just writing songs and releasing them. I have a hard enough time putting new songs into a live show, because I feel you should hold them back. [sighs] Maybe I just have to learn to shut up and grow up a bit. [Laughs] Like, I'm an enormous Prince fan, but I got confused with the enormity of stuff he released...

     

    So it's quality control?

    Well, it's not always quality control, cos it can all be great. It just gets confusing. [Thinks] Actually, I saw Prince play at [small-ish London Venue] Koko. That was a showbiz perk. The one person I would pay to go and see. And I didn't have to pay.

     

    Which Heroes hero would you be, then?

    Oh! It's got to be the Japanese dude, come on. [Hiro's voice] Hiro Nakamura. [Thinks] I don't like future Hiro. He's like a fashionable waiter in a Japanese restaurant.

     

    Hiro is the best.

    We like Hiro when he's a goofball. When he's a cartoon charater. Exactly.

     

    :cool:

     

    I bought that magazine in London last 5th of december at Virgin Megastore....good times!:wub2:

     

    thanks for posting!:thumb_yello:
