From http://www.indepthinfo.com/weekdays/tuesday.shtml The word "Tuesday", however, was derived from a wholly different religious tradition. Tyr or Tiw was the Norse God of War. When the Germanic Angles and Saxon's invaded England in the 500's they suplanted a culture that had been heavily influenced by Rome for several hundred years. The day, Tuesday, had already been named for the Roman God of War, Martius (notice in French, Italian, and Spanish - the word for Tuesday is still derivative of the Roman God - Mardi, Martedi and Martes - respectively). When the Germanic tribes conquered England, they layed their own lexicon over that of the Roman's so that the Norse God of War now supplanted the Roman God of War (after all the Norse God was obviously more potent). Thus they called the day of the God of War tiwesdaeg. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Thanks for answering my questions and giving me a little history lesson! :) So could this be applied to all the other references to Tuesday I keep hearing? Such as Amanda Marshall's album "Tuesday's Child" and David Bowie's song with a similar name (I forget which day of the week he used)? # 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 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 22:10:01 -0400 From: "Angela Tooley" Subject: (hats) On Tuesday > From Ivan's intro to the song for the Atlanta show (4/88 - anyone else > there??), Tuesday is the (Roman) god of war, and On Tuesday is an > attempt to "appease those gods.."

I wonder if they would let us come up to Canada and watch the creation of this new album/CD? We could do it 'On Tuesday'.

What I wanted to know when asking was, what is the current state of play in the world of synth-pop - not chart stuff (uh, does synth-pop get in the charts anywhere now anyway?), but via indie labels and the internet? It has been very interesting both to see what people listen to, and to follow up on some suggestions. Soooo, I just thought it might be interesting to provide a reaction - although I must emphasise this is intended in the spirit of generating a discussion, not to piss anybody off... First, I was surprised at how doomy things are. Synth-pop nowadays seems to have taken the kind of gothy, Ultravox part of the 80s aesthetic, and concentrated on the one hand on that aspect of the sound. (On the other hand, there is the verging-on-techno-but-not-quite, long-ish instrumental strand of stuff.) I suppose what I am saying here is - God, this is a "movement" that takes itself seriously. There is so little sense of fun to any of it. This set me thinking (partly to keep this on topic :-): are MWH doomy, gloomy and generally miserable? What about humour in MWH songs? Second, it was interesting to see how very, very differently people defined the phrase, "good-but-obscure synth-pop". Of course everyone has their own take on it - I was thinking of funny little blippy electropop records, myself - but we had everything from Gary Numan to Freur. So, this set me thinking, too - did anybody else follow up a recommendation and (more to the point) find anything new that they liked? Is that a deafening silence I hear?

There's a movie I once saw... During the intro text and a little bit into the movie the soundtrack was the INTRO from PGTW. You know, the "Can you hear me out there?" -bit.

I was in Montreal this past weekend and I stopped in MARS music shop (I'm sure Montrealians will be familiar with this shop) It is the small CD/record/tape/poster store that just moved on St. Catherines underneath Pharaprix.... anyway, the guy in there told me he was reading the mirror, a local music magazine, and that Ivan had a new CD coming out....not MWH but Ivan....and I'm not talking about the Spell.. Is there any truth to this rumor?
