He's got a Mac, so you can't send him 'WinZip' files (although I've opened
them on my Mac with StuffitExpander). I don't know what compression software
he has...

I'm going to see what I can do about recording a cover myself. I'm not
sure of the song but Antarctica is at the top of my list.

Also, a potential title: "Covers for the Hatless: new interpretations of
Men Without Hats songs" or "Folk of the Millenium" =)

Since I was the man to get this whole cover cd going again, i feel it's only right if i throw my 2 cents in for a title for our cover album. Of course, I know we're nowhere close to that point, but I think it's fun to mess around with it.

Somebody suggested "Folk of the Millenium" which I totally hate just because if I see the word Millenium again I may kill myself.

When we were going to have that MWH concert last summer, sombebody on the list suggested a great name for it...and i'd like to re-suggest it again for the album.

They simply said, "HATS OFF"

..and I like that.

I remember that one.  I still like it and I still think ita great title for
it.  Back in "the early days", I suggested the title "What Happened to
Tony?" for a bootleg :)

M2 is now into the Ps and they just Played Pop Goes The World.

If you want you can download it from the link below.
http://www.softcom.net/users/holdman/Men_Without_Hats_Pop_Goes_The_World.mpg

The moonbeam video has been taken offline because I can only fit 50megs on
the web server at softcom.net.

Only one day left on my MWH test pressings. The bid is currently at $50
I originally paid $150 for these so anything under this amount is a total
steal :)

The website for the test pressings is

I must admit, M2 is playing a whole lot of Men Without Hats.  We all know
they are the best band ever to grace this Earth (No, not sarcasm, I just
like them WAY too much for my own good), but they are pretty rare.

On the same note, were there any videos made from the ...In the 21st Century
and Sideways albums?

Subject: (hats) Safety Dance Music Video and other random thoughts
Date: 17 Mar 2000 16:27:38 -0700


Well a lot of you know that I am capturing Music Videos from M2 and post the
ones by Men without Hats.

I thought for sure they would play Safety Dance but they skipped right over
it. Is that weird or what? They are suppose to be playing every single music
video they have. You would think they would have safety dance since they
played, I like, Pop Goes the World, and Moonbeam.

Luckily a friend of mine already had it. He also redid the sound so it
sounds a lot better. If you have ever seen it before on MTV or the VH1 pop
up video you know that sound was real bad.

Below is a direct link to the music video.

Please don't download the video below unless you own the Original Masters of
the video including the extra footage of IVAN tripping over his own shoe
laces dancing down the street.

http://www.softcom.net/users/holdman/MWH-Safety_Dance.mpg

-Richard

-----

A side note

They also did not play "Open Your Eyes" - I was hoping they would because I
really love IVANS new music. I would even dare say I like his "SPELL" Album
more than I like most of the Original MWH albums. It Rocks! I was very glad
to see that IVAN did not continue the sound of the sideways album. I love
the new synth sound he currently has and I love the up to beat synth version
he did of Safety Dance (which is not available on any album).

I can't wait until the next "IVAN" album comes out!

If Ivan is reading this I just want to say "The music you are making now is
your best so far! Keep it up!!!"

Subject: (hats) lossless compression for those that want it.
Date: 21 Mar 2000 10:37:31 -0700


Nobody has been talking about the Men without Hats cover project much
anymore but I figured this would be some good information for those that
need it.

I know we have been talking about what kind of format we should use to send
files to the person that is going to be making these cds (WAVE, MP3, CD,
Cassette tape superglued to a post card, etc.)

I have come across a really neat audio compression format that is lossless,
meaning you can compress the Audio File and Uncompress it and the quality
will be the exact same, bit for bit, as the original.

The URL for the program is
http://www-ft.ee.tu-berlin.de/~liebchen/lpac.html

On average it only compresses 1:2 but sending 25megs of data is easier than
sending 50megs for those that may have a slow connection.

I figured somebody on this list would be interested in this

See ya!

-Richard Holdman

---

LPAC is a codec (coder / decoder) for lossless compression of digital audio
files. "Lossless" means that any compressed file can be decompressed in a
way it will be bit-wise identical with the original. This is the main
advantage of LPAC compared to lossy formats like mp3 or realaudio. On the
other hand, lossy codecs can achieve higher compression ratios. For example,
mp3 at 128 kbit/s achieves a (fixed) compression ratio of 11, whereas LPAC's
compression ratios range from 1.5 to 4, strongly depending on the audio
material. Typically they are around 2 for pop music and 2.5 for classical
music. This may not seem much, but remember you will get back every single
bit, no matter how often you subsequently compress and decompress a file. It
is true that general archivers (Zip, LZH, gzip) are lossless, too, but they
often achieve nearly no compression on audio files.

LPAC is your choice if you want to save disk space without any quality
drawbacks introduced by lossy codecs like mp3. The LPAC file format (*.PAC)
is designed to be compatible and lossless across different platforms and
processors. There are versions of LPAC for Windows, Linux and Solaris. LPAC
Archiver is the user interface of the LPAC codec for Win32
(Windows95/98/NT/2000). The codec itself is supplied as a DLL.

Hi everyone,

in particular those who make their own music...
in particular techno! :)

I reserved my own domain name and I'm currently making a website for it.
It will be created with flash and I need some theme music.  Maybe about 20
seconds long or even 15.  I don't know yet.  I 'm hoping someone here can
create  a song for me.  If you charge, well, I hope the price isn't too
high! ;)

What I'm looking for is a fast version of a classical song.  I was
thinking either Tchaikovsky's 1st Concerto or his "Dance of The Sugar Plum
Fiary" (fast).  Since there are so many different types and hybrids and
varieties and flavours of techno, you'd have to e-mail me in private (if
interested!) to let me describe to you which sound I need.

thanks in advance.

P.S. somewhat releated to Men Without hats.  YEsterday I won tickets to
the ABBA musical opening up here in toronto.  I had to sing "SOS" live.
:D

Hi,

I just signed onto the list recently.  "Pop Goes The World" is one of my
all-time favorite CDs, and has been since it came out (a "Pop Goes the
World" poster is still prominent in my old room at my parent's house) and
*finally* obtaining Rhythm of Youth on CD after all of these years of
waiting, and not believing that it would ever be something that I could
find.

I don't imagine I'll have a lot to say so will probably do a lot of lurking,
but thought I'd say hi, introduce myself, and all of that jazz.

I know how you feel!
"Pop goes the World" has to be one of THE BEST albums ever made!
Just about everything about it is perfect!
.. btw.. *I* just managed to get the "Sideways" CD after 4 years
of searching! YESS!!!
Having got over the initial shock I have to admit the album ROCKS!

I got "Sideways" years ago -- it's never quite grabbed me.  Part of this may
be that "Rhythm of Youth", "Folk of the 80s Part 3", and "Pop Goes the
World" were all very much "soundtracks of my life" at the time as a junior
high and high school student (as well as many of my friends), and that
wasn't the case with "Adventures..." and "Sideways".

I did pick up "The Spell" at the same time I got "RoY/Folk" CD, and I'm
enjoying it a great deal, however.
