(kind of) Date: 13 Sep 1998 13:33:09 -0400 (EDT) Hi everyone, I was in a record store (where they sell 45s) yesterday and came across one of "O Sole Mio". It had a picture sleeve and it said "Limited Edition Fold-Out Picture Pack". The sticker on the sleeve of the record (the little bag the store keeps the 45 in to protect it from any damage) says "Last copy" but I don't know if that means the last in the world or just in the store :D Anyway, I guess this comes close to being a genuine MWH poster. The picture is interesting. It reminds me of one of U2 albums (the one where their faces are close-up, the black bars on top and bottm of the picture). The picture is in black and white and everyone is standing on the roof of a building. Everyone is at different distances from the camera. From left to right: a smiling older man playing the accordian (kind of reminds me of the picture of Ivan's father on one of the websites), a person who appears to be the little guy in the Saftey Dance video (he looks like Ivan a bit!) complete with the t-shirt but wearing a bandana, jeans, and jacket liek Ivan. Followed by Bruce Murphy with violin then the Jenny persona (the older one), le Bonhomme (no drums), Ivan holding a baby, Stefan wearing the Freeways concert t-shirt under his white jacket, a little girl (I guess it's the younger "Jenny") in a ballerina costume, then a toddler then another guy (I guess it's Colin?). No one is looking in the same direction (although, most are wearing sunglasses or a big bonhomme head!). I can scan this for anyone who would like a copy. When folded, on the back of the picture sleeve are the lyrics and a balck and white picture of Ivan. The front has a really big O. I guess it's a play on the usual no hats logo without the slash and hat guy. B-side is "Lose My Way". ==== I was in Tower records yesterday and picked up a copy of their free magazine and saw a page ad by Oglio Records (hi Carl!). Tina Louise made an album?!!??!?!

And your > prejudice against Rastafarians shows through!!! ;-) I guess the above sounds pretty vague to anyone who hasn't heard CD9 yet. Let me elaborate. The 21st Century promo single contains an interesting little number (8, to be precise), which is a little snip of Ivan explaining why he dropped the hats logo. He says it gives off a negative energy similar to that of a NO PARKING sign. He goes on to mention that we get far too many of these negative vibes everywhere we look. (Hmmm, someone should write a song about signs being everywhere saying do this and don't do that and can't you read the sign.........naw, it'll never work.) Furthermore, he goes on to tell us that a group of racist Jamaicans are now using the hats logo (or a reasonable facsimile) to ban Rastafarians from certain establishments. Rastafarians are the Jamaican residents with African ancestry. That use of the hats logo was the final straw and Ivan will never use the symbol again, end of discussion. Where does that leave us devout MWHer's who have for so long been blinded by this crazy evil logo. It really sounds like Ivan strongly believes that the whole logo thing was a big mistake on his part and wishes he never used it in the first place. Now, I think about all those times I proudly displayed it in public and wonder how many African Jamaican's I've offended or perhaps put some poor suicidal soul over the edge because he/she saw one too many "DON'T DO THAT" signs. Gee, Ivan, we were only dancing if we wanted to....no harm in that. Is there?

But Ivan did see that connection and as a result it became a reason for dropping the logo. He explains this clearly on his "21st Century" CD promo. It's a bit weird but who knows, maybe there's some method to his madness.

It's like he might be saying, "there's pop music playing at this party", or "I'm the guy who used to be MWH". I don't think he's saying "this logo represents me or my band", though.

It also comes as no surprise that the most popular song downloaded is the safety dance. Every CD that has a version of the safety dance is downloaded the most. The version of the safety dance on CD2 seems to be the most popular version being downloaded by 1311 different people in the past 90 days. You can also access these songs via ftp at ftp.holdman.com using mwh for the username and password. I have not looked at the logs for these yet but I am sure it adds at least another 100megs It seems like the webpage is being spread across the web. Recently I visted a web site (http://www.audioforge.net/ - click on the rare and live links) that has a list of several sites with hard to find stuff. I saw a link for Men without hats and clicked on it and it took me to my site. :) It the future I might not be able to handle the load of downloads when it starts to increase. Is there anybody out there that has a fast connection and lots of disk space (about 300 megs). This way we could mirror my site and help distribute the load. your server would have to be able to serve about 200-300 megs per day.

Date: 19 Sep 1998 15:17:58 -0400 (EDT) ATTENTION ALL HATTERS!! The Men Without Hats Guitar Chord Archive is finally available! It's taken a long time but now it's here and I encourage everyone to check it out. It's not just for guitarists but all fans and musicians. Now you can pick up your guitar, piano, ukelele or whatever and play just like Ivan, Stefan and Colin. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~freyce/music/ Since I tend to be a bit of a lurker I'll take this chance to re-introduce my self to the list. My name is Christopher Frey, or Chris or "C.Frey" or just Frey. I'm a senior at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. I grew up in the east side suburbs of Detroit, have played guitar for about 8 years and love MWH. I'm majoring in History but have applied to U-M's School of Information to do archives, digital manuscript preservation, or something like that. I think Ivan is a brilliant writer, poet, singer, musician and hope this project will spread the awesome sounds of MWH. (btw, finally got the Spell and love it! "Chain reaction" is amazing. a lot of it sounds like the so-called "early synth era" of MWH! you know before the days of 21st Century and Sideways which made me realize "hey, we could TAB this..." ;-) ) Anyway, please check it out, and if you have comments, please reply to me directly as I get the sometimes slow digest version of the list. HATLESSLY, C.Frey PS My apologies to Charlie Garbowski if he's still here. Better late than never, huh?!

Did the Freeways LP come out in 85....5 years after its original release? Was this a remix of the one on the FOTE LP? And in the Freeways Live '85 in Montreal, why are they promoting Freeways and not Fote III. Did the Freeways LP sell at all? Can you still get it? (other than the bootleg) One more question....what is this new project Ivan is working on...with Rational Youth. One more question...sorry...but on the bootlegs, we have remixes of PGTW and Moonbeam from the singles. Were there any other singles that have remixes on them that we could somehow obtain? Any chance of getting the IVAN singles on there? Ok...I've fed the group some questions. collin from ithaca ****************************** And the old man looked at the young boy sharply in the eye and said, "How come out of all the houses in the village, yours is the only one left standing?"

Date: 22 Sep 1998 10:44:31 +0200 I own "The Very Best of Men Without Hats". It is a compilation of some songs of "Folk Of The 80's III" and "Rhythm Of Youth". It is (C) and (P) 1997 by CMC Records under license of Oglio Records. Nothing new, but a must to have. The Cover Art is not much different from "The COllection". The MWH Logo is a little bit smaller and the background is a little bit more orange. Very interesting are the Words on the inside which are: Dancing and singing they came back in 1982, who were these strangers without headwear causing the floors to move to a most unusual swaying rhythm? "You can dance if you want to..." of course we could, we didn't need them to tell us that, but what exactly was, or indeed is The Safetay Dance and does it involve the wearing of a condom or was it a more serious anti nuclear message as hinted in the video? Very little is written in the history books about the band from canada, who paved the way for alternative rock from this part of the world - would alanis morisette have received the same support without them? Canada after all isn't renowned for it's international names in Rock, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell are not many considering the Counry's proximity to the USA. So I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and puffing on my pipe this is what i discovered: Men without hats were formed in Montreal - Canada in 1980, the brainchild of singer Ivan and drummer Jeremy Arrobas, not the most usual set up for a group - one singer and one drummer so thats where the synth machine came in very handy and also explains their rather distinctive sound. Men Without Hats' first release was an EP on their own label titled "FOT 80's", not only did this grab a lot of attention in their homeland, Stiff Records in London, well known for their love of the creative, also released it in Britain as a single along with an edited version of "Antarctica". It's a highly priced collector's item these days. Just after this Jeremy decided he had had enough of life in the fast lane of pop stardomand quit, leaving Ivan to write the songs and work with brothers Stephan and Colin Doroschuk joined by Allan McCarthy on drums. In 1983 MWH released the annoyingly catchy singe "Safety Dance", whoch became a huge hit both in the clubs and on the radio, reaching No. 3 in the USA and No. 6 in The UK, not only launching the group in Europe but a new label - Statik Records too. Following the success of "Safety Dance" their debut album "Rhythm Of Youth" saw the light of day; it was a mayor success in the USA, reaching No. 14 in the Billbord Chart. Three more singles "Living in China", "I Got The Message" and the full version of "Antarctica" were released from the album, all of which have become cult classics. MWH's second album "Folk Of The 80's Part III" (whatever happened to Part II?) was incredibly well received by the rock critics and their fans alike and contained the hit single "Where Do The Boys Go?". All this was pre CD and a picture disc of the second album is also reported to exist on vinyl. The CD you are holding marks the first time that "ROY" and "FOEIII" has ever been released as a double package, in fact neither album has ever been properly released on CD before. A strictly limited edition of 500 copies of each was made in the UK in the late 80's - today they sell for between $700 - $1000 each. Treasure your copy of two of the finest albums ever produced in canada - maybe one day this too will become a valuable collectors item! Aouch, think this was my largest EMail ever written. For those who didn't know the cover inside - text, hope you enjoyed it. For those who did know the text, think you read it again...

A couple of things firstly I have never seen any mention of Antartica on the Stiff Label, I have read a couple of discographies of Stiff records, and none mention it., has anyone ever seen it ? Also if anybody wants my copy of FOTE3 on CD for $700 it's their's ! Also this month Men Without Hats are featured in the UK's Q magazine in the 'Where are they now' section featuring an interview with Ivan and is very, well fairly interesting. Apparently Collin Doroschuk worked in a circus for a while washing dishes for a 'dose of reality'. The thing about Where are they now series in Q is that the featured artist's alway talk up what they've been up to, so Ivan mentions he's formed the UFOria record label but fails to say that so far it hasn't released anything. Does anybody want me to transcibe the whole article ? Alan I own "The Very Best of Men Without Hats". It is a compilation of some songs of "Folk Of The 80's III" and "Rhythm Of Youth".

I'm the T lady and have become the surrogate 2-fer person. The 2-fer is not available in the US or Canada, but I arranged to get some via Mike Best in England (you're a god, Moose!). If you are interested in a 2-fer, email me privately *next week*. I'm in the middle of a pinch at work, a vet crisis, a remodeling my kitchen crisis, and I'm going out of town this weekend. AAAAACK! T's come in 2 colors (white or gold) and 2 sizes (XL or XXL). I am currently putting people on a waiting list, since some people who ordered in April then left on school holidays or whatever and haven't picked uptheir orders. Again, email me privately *next week*. I can't deal with any more stress right now. Thx for being understanding that I haven't jumped all over these emails before . . . :-) Laura # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info hats" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email hats@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: mike Subject: Re: (hats) HELP!!-from a new lister Date: 24 Sep 1998 18:29:42 +0100 >(you're a god, Moose!). yeah, I know!! }:-) # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info hats" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email hats@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Rod MacQuarrie" Subject: (hats) RE: hats-digest V2 #92 Date: 24 Sep 1998 11:46:07 -0400 I remember walking into a record store in 1985 and seeing the Freeways LP and cassette at the front of the store as a new item. They wanted like $24.99 for it. I never bought it because it was so expensive and had only a few tracks. Personally I think it was a bad marketing move and sent MWH down the road to obscurity. Rod In 1980, MWH released FOTE part I. 4 songs on an 10 inches vinyl. After the success of ROY (who was suppose to be named FOTE part II until one month before the release), and FOTE part II, Marc Durand (former MWH manager) decided to release the very first vinyl with different remixes of Freeway.

Date: 28 Sep 1998 19:08:42 EDT ' I also think that sometimes ivan's voice sounds rather notsogood when he performs live. i do not know why. notice on the video tape with some excerpts of the sideways show live how his voice is rather ....well- unmelodic?! sounds kind of like he is sort of talking and singing at the same time. does it in the ivan show that was recorded also. listening to david bowie doing it right now too. Ivan also messes up lines regularly live. he does it in the freeways show. Cause the way he writes is he says very similar things in different parts of the song. example: we can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind " " we've got all your life and mine " " night is young and so am i and so on it can be difficult to remember which one goes where, especially when one is in a state of mind sort of outside of time............. just my thoughts on the matter. anyone elses? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info hats" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email hats@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Toren Valimir Subject: Re: (hats) ?

Date: 29 Sep 1998 09:34:30 -0400 I too have noticed that Ivan has occasional "voice trouble" and misses lines live. Could he maybe suffer from at least mild stage fright? If you watch some live recordings he looks uncomfortable, misses words, and even appears to shake sometimes. If memory serves, at the Toronto show in 1997 he got several lines mixed up, particularly in Open Your Eyes. I also think he didn't look very comfortable up there. I dunno, maybe he does like to mix things up a little for variety or artistic license. Any more thoughts?? Brad > Does anybody know why Ivan's voice sounds so horrible in the ROY >Live boot?

Date: 29 Sep 1998 15:38:43 +0200 I have always been thinking that MWH live performances are very good, including Ivan's singing. I think that the way he sings differently (thinking more about phrasing (changing tones etc) than mixing lines) in concert compared to the studio versions is because he puts more emotion into the singing and I really like that. I was really happily surprised by the good live performance of MWH when I first heard of it (the boots). Many other synth band from the same period are not very talented live musicians and I had a fear that would go for MWH as well. The mixing of lines though, might, to some degree, be because of that Ivan doesnt manage to remember correctly. But sometimes I beleive it's intentional. /PJ. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info hats" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email hats@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: goreal Subject: (hats) sale/trade 21stCentury single promo??
