Didn't get any response, but I also asked the same question to Stefan via menwithouthats.com. He kindly responded, saying that he had a recollection of the UK version having been released prior to Canada and the US, and that although it was some time in 1982 he couldn't provide anything more definite than that. The reason I was wanting to know this apparently trivial fact is because - and I don't want to alarm anyone here - we are therefore only a year or so away from the *20th* anniversary of the release of what is in my view the best album *ever* made. Don't know about anyone else, but that is a date that seems to me to be worth acknowledging / celebrating / recognising, and I was wondering if you good people had any ideas as to how we little band of MWH fans could go about doing that. Please think about it! Thanks... Second point; The Winnebago Song. What is it? Who is on it? Is it actually an MWH song? Just generally - what's the story?

Obviously, I am thrilled at the prospect of a new bunch of MWH recordings, and cannot wait to hear what Ivan and Stefan will come up with, and I also fully accept that part of the 'point' of pop music is striving for the new and *not* being in awe of the past. However, there are a couple of things that I think are worth underlining. First, as I said in my original post, in my opinion ROY is actually *the best* pop album ever made, bar none (partly answering your "no FOTE anniversary" point). That means that I have lived with and loved that fantastic collection of songs for (gulp, let's dare to say it again) nigh on 20 years. All of which adds up to a lot of perspective to attach to a record - and consequently, I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a step back from current happenings for a while and considering all of those things in some way. After all, as far as I am concerned, ROY still has relevance and meaning - hell, to my ears it still sounds *modern*! Second, I kind of take it as read that all the members of our little group here are by-and-large fans of the group, who basically support Ivan, Stefan et al and wish them well in whatever projects they undertake. On occasions, that will mean providing practical support and by extension we should therefore be trying to draw whatever attention we can to the release of the next album. However you tally it up, we're now in the 21st century (hey!), and we all know that in real terms, media attention counts for almost everything now. This being the case, I don't have a problem with some kind of tie-up between the two 'events'. Let's face it, we want people to buy MWH stuff (don't we?), and if something can be done to aid that through the creation of publicity, I for one think that's A Good Thing. Mike PS.

What > > happened to Tony?! Last time I spoke to Tony (about a month ago) he was still negotiating. I talked to Stephan about it as well and he had a few criticisms. But at least he did express an interest in it. One thing I believe may help is maybe a few more songs. As a result I've been working on my second contribution, Ideas For Walls, for a few weeks now. To anyone who was considering adding something but has changed their mind for whatever reason, come on, we need you!!! There's still decent time yet to create that masterpiece! One thing I have noticed is that virtually all of the songs so far have been from ROY so maybe this project could be some kind of recognition to 20 years of "*the best* pop album ever made, bar none" (tm).

Sounds like a reasonable idea to me, Steven. What do the people who are actually contributing to the record think? Interesting to note the balance of songs that have been chosen being so strongly in favour of the ROY period. I guess it just goes to show the extent to which, however much an artist might want to emphasise the importance of their current or most recent work, in the end they don't have much control of it after it has left their hands... and the fans decide whatever they want to decide... BTW, there have been a few changes at menwithouthats.com, including an alteration to the homepage (and reference to what I sincerely hope is not the possible title of the new album, complete with spelling mistake) and a brief update on the current recording.

What do the people who are > actually contributing to the record think? Looks like it's up to me to raise the voice of doom here... The idea was to make the project span all the albums and thanks partly to me we've succeeded. I'm the only one who contributed songs from PGTW and "Adventures...". Someone else had also contributed one of the instrumentals from Sideways. So Sideways, PGTW and Adventures are represented by ONE track each. I know that's not much but it DOES span all the current albums. We were even asked to contribute from the unrepresented albums if at all possible. Here's the bottom line: Let the cover project stand as it is! If we can get it released in time for the anniversary, fine, but don't even THINK of deleting non-ROY tracks or re-naming the album "Tribute to ROY" or something like that! Looks like my two cents are up. - Johan # 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: Jeff Schachter Subject: RE: (hats) RE: Who's here?

I was having second thoughts about that idea as well... Even if there was only one non-ROY contribution it would be unfair to that artist to suddenly change course. > So Sideways, PGTW and Adventures are represented by ONE track > each. Don't forget Flat Stanley's WDTBG! I think we still need a Freeways song though....

Quite impressive how long the list's been running well lately without ANY sign of the admin still watching over it.

(T-Shirts, MP3's, etc.) I only have the albums that are currently available. I was able to pickup ROY and FOTE on vinyl, but no Freeways. Anyway, I am really glad to be a part of this!

I'm also waiting for a couple new songs and hopefully some cover art. When everything is done, if Stefan doesn't let us release it commercially, I'll start burning copies myself. I don't know how much I'll charge, but It'll be just enough to cover expenses and wear-and-tear. If anyone else wants to contribute a song or artwork, let me know. I especially need artwork.

That's exactly what I wanted to suggest after reading the first paragraph. "Still in negotiations with Stefan", PAH!!! I'd say, chose an appropriate four letter word and do it with Stefan, our little wannabe. See, apart from MWH I'm very much into Sigue Sigue Sputnik and also on the mailing list (at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sputnik), and apart from releasing better stuff than ever right now (not just talking about it) they encourage ANY fan contribution. There has been a fan made remix CD, another one will follow, and they look into it THEMSELVES that their stuff gets put up on Napster. Tony James will spend a hell of a lot of his time to personally answer every fan email (I myself made a very brief technical remark about his newsletter and got a personal reply to that one, too). I could list more than that. Okok, I'm in a bad mood, but I still think I have a point here. ;-) All the best, Thomas # 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: "C.

People have strongly divided opinions on this issue. To those who desire the art, it can seem only right that they should be able to do as they see fit with it, whatever that may be (copying, championing or celebrating the artist). But how can artists survive if they receive no reward for what they do? No reward means the artist can't devote the proper time to creating quality art. By taking things into there own hands, the fan can dilute and saturate the art, and bypass the artist altogether. Some artists are very serious about what they do. We appreciate the Doroschucks for that very reason and I can understand why they feel protective, maybe overly protective, of their creations. In any case, today's artist exists in a world where they are losing creative control over what they do and that's just life ... Good or bad, that's simply the way it is. And it's just going to get worse. I can see a day when maybe the artist will produce one exciting piece of work and the fans will then take over in that vein and leave the artist begging on some street corner saying "I started that!" Oh wait, that's today!! (Now, where was I, oh yeah... Ideas for Wa ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha haalllls) Spooky isn't it? :-) Senz # 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: Subject: Re: (hats) Re: Who's here?
