From: AJP1313@aol.com Subject: (hats) thanks! Date: 07 May 1999 16:50:21 EDT While this is somewhat off subject, it does spin off of the list. I just wanted to thank whoever posted a note a while back about the Synthpop Network site (www.spn.nu). I've found out info on many great synth bands, both old and new, as well as a great associated dealer, www.adifferentdrum.com. They have Pop Goes the World and cd's by Rational Youth for anyone still looking for them, as well as tons of other great synth stuff. My credit card isn't happy with me after my last visit there. Anyway, again, Thanks! to whoever. -Andrew # 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: sjackson@synchrologic.com Subject: (hats) RE: Heaven Date: 10 May 1999 07:33:45 -0400 > -----Original Message----- > From: E.

Does anyone else find this suspicious? A year or so ago, I asked if there was a studio version of Heaven. No one replied. Then "moose" asked if anyone had the lyrics. No replies. Then E.

As for me, Heaven is probably my favorite song on the boots. It doesn't sound like an original Men Without Hats song -- I'm guessing they covered it. But who wrote the original?

Certainly there must be someone who can shed a >little light on the matter? I guess it's because the group were always mysterious-- I don't think they gave many interviews and that song was sung live. Maybe just for that concert. I doubt interivewers asked them "oh, what was that first song you sang at the concert?". Maybe it was meant for "Pop Goes The World" like how they sang "Jenny Wore Black". The lack of replies means no one knows what this song is. I mean, who would hold back the response if someone knew the answer? :) A question I have is whatever happened to Ivan? "Out of nowhere" he records an album and promotes it across the country bringing back memories of Men Without Hats and then....poof....he disappears. Much like this list. Before the chatter was great and now no one's talking :( I've heard of lulls in a mailing list but this one's been happening forever. So, I'll try my best at starting up some conversation. Usually people ask questions like "What's your 5 favourite songs?". I'll add a twist: "Which song of Men Without Hats and Ivan would you change?". It's not necessarily a negative question, this could be interpreted as "which song would you remix and how?" (this is only meant for fun so please try not to write 'you must never tamper with the originals they are fine the way they are bla bla bla') At the top of my head, I'd try to make "Mother's Opinion" faster just to see how it would sound. And on another note, I was on a job interivew and in the same building was a french bookstore (complete with french Simpsons valentine cards and a french Aqua biography!). I bought a book on Quebecois slang/idioms. It even gives you a history of the language which I found very interesting.

It's not necessarily a > negative question, this could be interpreted as "which song would you remix > and how?" So much to choose from, it's a tough question to answer, but for the sake of reviving the list, I'll try. :) The song I would most likely change would be "Cocoricci (Les Tango Des Voleurs)" from _Rythem of Youth_. A full 77 minute extended version on one cd. This is a great studying/nap/driving/working-to song and I could easily listen to it as background music all day. Oddly, it is not my favorite song, however I cannot see a bass-n-drum remix or cover of "Antarctica" or "I Like". It just wouldn't do. :) So a full cd version of "Cocoricci (Les Tango Des Voleurs)" will have to be it. And those of you who feel that this is too long, listen to the full version of "Thick as a brick" or Eno's "Thursday Afternoon". Length is no factor to a song, unless you don't want it to end.

I think if they would have done that live more...that would've been great. If Living in China was faster (like it is in I think the Washington Live one) I would like it better.

Sundstrom" Subject: (hats) What MWH song I would change. Date: 11 May 1999 21:45:36 -0600 Hi, My name is Steve Sundstrom. I've been subscribing to the MWH mailing list since about March '99, and haven't posted any comments yet, but I guess it's better late than never. I have been reading the debate about the song "Heaven" by MWH, and although I don't know the answer to where the song originated, I was wondering if anybody had thought about e-mailing Stefan Doroschuk of MWH and asking someone that I'm sure would know the answer. A few months ago, someone posted a link to the "official" MWH site that is actually hosted by Stefan. The link to the page is http://www.mpgang.com/mwhmain.html . I visited the page and Stefan has a link on the page where you can e-mail him directly with questions. I e-mailed him with a question, and he replied within a day or so. Needless to say I was very impressed. As to the question about what MWH song I would change, I would have to say that I would change 21st Century Safety Dance off of the album "In the 21st Century". I was quite dissappointed by this song, as it is more or less a "techno" song and doesn't really have much harmony. To tell you a little bit about myself, I had always known about MWH from their song "The Safety Dance", but wasn't a huge fan of MWH until around 1986 when Pop Goes The World was released, which I believe is probably their best work. MWH actually came to Utah, which is where I live, on a tour as the opening act for Icehouse, who was promoting their "Man of Colors" album. As much as I like Icehouse, MWH was a far better act to see and stole the show. Anyways, sorry for dragging on for so long. Take care. # 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: ADTooley@aol.com Subject: (hats) Songs I Would Change Date: 12 May 1999 00:36:08 EDT This question is interesting, I have to put in my two cents. On the Rhythm of Youth LP, I would have definitely put the entire version of "Ban The Game," like they did at Le Spectrum. It is such a tease to hear only the beginning of that song, I have felt that way long before I ever heard the rest of it. On the Folk Of The 80's Part III LP I would have re-mixed "Mother's Opinion" to be a little bit faster and a little more melodic ... maybe cut out some of that heavy background noise and brought up the piano. On the Pop Goes The World LP, I would change nothing except the album cover. For some reason I always thought that their choice of design was a poor marketing decision, and as a result this masterpiece album was terribly underrated and under-sold. As far as In The 21st Century goes, this entire album is poorly mixed. I would have put much more emphasis on Ivan's voice, which is so far in the background that something seems so wrong with that album. Men Without Hats's greatest assets were always Ivan's voice and their emphasis on a strong melody line. This album showed neither. I wish I had heard more songs that featured Ivan alone on piano or acoustic guitar. I think that would have lent itself well to their labeling themselves as "folk musicians" of the 80's. Synthesizers are all well and good, but their heavy usage was an 80's music trend, whereas pianos and acoustic guitars never go out of style.

I wouldn't characterize synthesizers as an 80's trend, considering how synthetic much of the music of the 90's has been. However, the 80's certainly contained a lot of that primitive, bright synthetic sound as opposed to the 'hip' warm morphing synth sounds and breakbeats that are so overused these days IMHO. I prefer the pure clean sterile synths found in Kraftwerk, Numan, and, of course, MWH! But I agree; Ivan's voice and contemplative piano melodies really work well together. -ralf # 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: Thomas Lang Subject: (hats) Hi everyone!

Primarily I'm looking for mp3s, album covers, and band photos so I can complete my personal MWH collection, but it seems like most of the sites that I try to access to find these things can no longer be accessed. 2) A related question for Richard: is there any hope of seeing the mp3 archive opened up again? I downloaded some of the music (maybe 1/4 of it), but before I could get the rest of it & the artwork, the site was shut down. Will I get another chance? Thanks to all for any info!

Well I just bought a new 8x burner and have gotten so many request for the CDs that I am going to be doing it again. I will be posting more information on my website at http://www.holdman.com/mwh very soon. Just wait a little longer.

The one that is currently on the disc has OK Quality but I am hoping to get the better one. I already have a High Quality version of Safety Dance and the sound was redone from the original song from CD (the Original version of Safety Dance had very bad sound quality) More Info soon to come -richard # 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: richard@holdman.com Subject: (hats) MP3 Archive open for MWH Fans for a limited time Date: 24 May 1999 10:13:15 -0600 A lot of you know that I use to run the mp3 archive for the MWH bootlegs. Well I have changed jobs and currently don't have the bandwidth I use to have. The MWH archive was getting hit very hard and about 500megs to 1gig was getting downloaded each day! Info about the site ended up being on mp3 lists and such. I have opened up the archive for the mailing list so you can download the mp3s if you want. In the very near future I will be selling a CD with all the mp3s on it with artwork for $15 - Anyway If you want any of the mp3s you can go there right now at http://www.holdman.com/mwh/offline - The offline archive has almost everything done by MWH - Please dont download the albums if you dont own them.

Also, it was easier to get the MP3s from the site instead of ripping them and encoding and sorting them on my PC home and at work. I look forward to purchasing the MP3 CD.
