This is a good time to say that issue #6 is ALMOST DONE! (Honest! I saw the blueline copy Monday). It will feature interviews with ABC, (yeah!), Heaven 17, A Flock of Seagulls, Ric Ocasek and Peach Union, plus a nice discography on Toyah! I love to (try and ) follow all the threads here.

Hi, Hatters! Especially for our new members, here is my short bio... I am Angie Tooley of northern New England, and I have been a Hats fan since 1983. In 15 years I have collected a lot of cool stuff, including the "I Got The Message" 45rpm picture disk. I am still influenced by the Hats sound, even though I listen more to bluegrass, folk, and country music more than anything else these days. (Actually, I find I have been listening to a lot of R.E.M. lately.) I am happily UNmarried, with no children. However I have a dog (Athena) and a cat (Mittens) whom I love very much. I also live with my mother's Yorkshire Terrier and Miniature Pinscher. I have a degree in Fine Arts and one in Business Administration, and I am going to college at night, working on a Paralegal Certificate. After that I will enter University for my Political Science bachelor's degree. The ultimate goal is Law School. I, along with a couple other list members who live in Montreal, am responsible for the production and organization of a proposed concert open only to "list members" and their friends and family. This concert will take place in June 1998, in Montreal. The ticket sales will pay Ivan's performance fee. Hopefully we will be able to get the brothers on stage with Ivan, but at any rate, it is understood that we will be hearing principally Men Without Hats songs. My other interests include taking road trips to Quebec, bass fishing, playing my instruments, painting and drawing, driving my new car :-), and hanging out with my friends. So, that's me in a nutshell! I hope to meet each and every one of you in person in June!!

This is my first post. I am more of a reader than a writer, but here goes.... My name is James. I am 30 year old Southern Californian. Being a fan of MWH since 1980-81 and pre-dating the Rhythm of Youth release, I would consider myself one of the true old timers. I was lucky enough to get exposed to the Folk of the 80's 10" (still have it!) and have been listening ever since. I first joined the mailing list about 2 years ago, dropped off, then came back to find all these bootlegs ect. floating around. That will teach me to not drop off again! Some of the more prized MWH items include the 10" of course, the Safety Dance picture disk 45 and the ROY picture disk LP. I would like to know some of the items that others on the list prize most. By the way, any ideas out there on the total number of that first 10" pressed??? I have yet to find one again. But I would guess it can be found in the northern USA and of course in Canada. Well, that's about all I guess. I am married, no children. I am a record freak, having several thousand, ranging from 78's to CD's and Country/Bluegrass to Punk. MWH are just one spoke in the wheel of my likes, but they hold a special place. I was just 14 when I got my first listen to "utter space" and it opened up my world to much of the music I enjoy today. Glad to see this group rolling along and hope it continues to have the interest to put out the Boot's and keep the Hats alive!

I have heard similar rumors similar to the boston thing, such as, a seattle coffee house gig under the same pen-name. I heard this from an aquaintence of mine, someone whom I no longer know nor trust, but that is a different story, that Ivan was performing right next door to a seattle club that had Pearl Jam playing that night. The rumor goes on to say that Ivan packed his coffee house, and Pearl Jam was standing outside trying to give away free tickets, no one was accepting. OF course I can only assume that this took place before pearl jam became a household name. Again, it's only a rumor, so I wouldn't place my bets on any truth.

My name's Colin. I'm 28 and live in England about 30 miles south of London. I am am a computer operations supervisor. I have 2 cats and have been married for two years to a non-hatter but I'm slowly wearing her down - she really likes The Spell! I have been into MWH since 82/83 when a friend played me his 12" of Safety Dance. So began my crusade of souring second hand record shops and such like to boost my collection. MWH wares are REALLY scarce over here. Before discovering the internet and this list especially, I had all but given up ever hearing another Hats tune. Now I have all the albums on CD x'cept FOT80's and also have ROY on vinyl plus several 12"s. Anyway, hope you enjoy your time on this list - even the bickering makes good reading most of the time!

This, if the record is produced properly, shouldn't happen and is therefore the product of some error in the recording process. When albums are edited/mixed in 'professional' recording studios you often see the engineer checking the mono-compatability with a cheap speaker somewhere, usually between the main speakers, or playing the rough mix on a cheap-and-cheerful tape player... Also most mixing desks have a 'phase invert' switch on every channel so that if 2 tracks do cancel themselves out you can correct the sound's phase. A very useful tip to you all (if you're ever in a recording studio that is!!). This problem can also occur if you record a CD to tape with cables that are wired up incorrectly, ie one of the stereo pair is back-to-front...

It was sunday, I was preparing to brush my two cats. I had my walkman on, I Know Their Name, italian remix from the soon to be released CD7, was playing loud and clear. As I was proceeding in the direction of the bathroom the phone rang. My older cat is very nervous, so he jumped betwwen my legs and I lost my equilibrium and tried to regain balance by grabbing a nearby shelf. By doing that, I only made a huge and almost full vaseline pot fall on my head from an upper shelf. The put broke and the vaseline poured over my head, covering it almost totally. Now I was not only losing my balance, but also consciousness. So I fell to my knees, and then forward in direction of the bath-tub. I didn't hurt myself (well...) because the bath was full of water - I always take my bath after I brush the cats. I now had the head, covered in vaseline and completly immerse in a body of water. After coming to my sense, I realised my walkman was still playing (aren't Sony great) and the music I was listening to sounded quite different (go figure). The "MWH feel" was still there but there was something else. I suddenly recognize it. I was hearing parts of "The Spell", backward, with the bass almost cancelled and some extra back vocals in chinese (female voice, almost Mitsou but two octaves lower). Isn't it incredible! After 10 minutes it becomes even stranger (that is, if you don't hold your breath). I repeated the experience with various type of music. It's really nice, but a bit messy. If you want more information on how to safely repeat this experience, e-mail me privately. Take care Claude # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info hats" in the message. # Postings must go to hats@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. # Men Without Hats discography: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?hats ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jan 1998 23:43:19 -0500 (EST) From: LORD HASENPFEFFER Subject: (hats) it just doesn't sound the same Claude!

I will then listen to it with headphones on and sing my own vocals to it onto VHS HiFi. He'll then get my tape and will digitally record and overlay my vocal tracks atop his original instrumental with his awesome PeeCee and software, add some backing vocals of his own and produce a final mix. Kewl? He's interested in mastering the whole disk if possible. He does that kind of work on a professional level although he'd volunteer his services gladly for this since Ivan will be getting a copy as well. It's a way he could finally thank Ivan for all the great music down through the years. I'd actually like to do a solo song too, if I can find the time. My initial leanings are toward "Messiah's Die Young" and / or "Mother's Opinion" but that's just my gut instinct right now.

Also, use survey guys were wondering if anyone had IVAN's email address, or means of contacting him? We'd like to pass on the results....

This includes all albums and EP's released by them, including FOTE and Ivan's "The Spell". All are 600 X 600 pixels but I've done my best to keep each one under 200kB without sacrificing too much quality. The next phase will be the 12" singles and 45's. The site is located at.... http://www.nucleus.com/~senz/MWH/MWH.htm ps. Welcome all you new hatters. :) 200 hatless humans is becoming impressive! The list has almost doubled since I joined 2 years ago. It seems we are succeeding in spreading the word! Keep it up, list!

My name is Tom Norman. I am 26 years old and was born in New Orleans, La. I first heard Safety Dance in '85 (New Orleans is slow) and didn't like it. I saw a really modern neat video on MTV around '88 and said "what's that!" It was Men Without Hats " Pop Goes the World". I liked this one alot. One of the few songs that I liked on the first listen in fact. I decided to try and find the ROY CD that I saw in a record store a few years back, but by 1989 it had been sold of course. In '85, I saw the ROY CD on display, "CDs are here!" and remember laughing because what kind of a fool would pay $45 for a CD. I didn't realize how good CDs were yet, and didn't realize what an "import" was yet. By '89, the joke was on me, cause I couldn't find it. Luckily, I grabbed a used copy of Pop Goes the World, got a new In the 21st CD, and found a used ROY album. As soon as I heard Antactica and I Like, I said "WOW". Too bad safety dance isn't that good (flame away here). After going back into the record store one day, I was amazed to find another white MWH album (folkIII). The guy in the store said, listen to this one, its even better than the yellow one, and I agreed after taking it home. At that point, I know their name, became my favorite hats song. by '91 or '92 I got on the GENIE hats topic followed by the mailing list here. I remember posting 100 times about how to find the ROY and FOLK CDs. I also remember being really upset that the list members would not give me a video copy of the Much Music hats spotlight. I decided around that time that If the list members ever gained my trust, I would BE SURE to share copies of stuff with other new members. I also made a promise to GRAB anything hats that I saw, if not for me then for other list members. By the way, I am one of the guys doing fan CDs and videotapes, we have 2 new people. :-) So if you read my story, you will understand that I will be sure to make sure that everyone has all the deleted hats stuff they want, because "I feel your pain". I was in your shoes in '91. With that said, presently, I am working on more copies of 1,2,3,5 at the moment. I know that some of you (and new guys) still don't have all the boot CDs yet. Give me some more time, I haven't quit yet. And 4,6,7 are on the way shortly. If you are worried that you won't get CDs, remember, the more backup copies we make for other listmembers, the better chance that you will get a copy eventually. If it was up to me, I would have them in your hands now, I know how you feel. Its nice to see the list jumping again. Oh yeah! Greg Sampson, I haven't forgotten about you, I will make your CDs next, you have been waiting the longest now.
