yes, I also noticed this, but for me it was too late
because I ordered MWH "Collection" CD from an used CD
store, then the "ROY" from Oglio Directly.

I don't know what's the problem between the band
and Oglio, maybe a licensing question.

But it this is the case, I don't know why MWH didn't call their lawyer to
fix the problem legally.

Yes, methinks this would have been the *first* course of action on Stefan's mind
to take.

Shoot first, ask questions later...

Couple of updates yesterday...
Mike

UPDATE September 9th, 2001:
There is becoming an increasingly good chance that once this album is
finished, we will then do a whole album dedicated to Safety Dance, as in, a
techno mix, a drum and bass mix... done by different DJs, to bring the song
a bit more up to date with today's club scene. It'll also include a new
version by us.
UPDATE September 9th, 2001:
We've been doing lead vocals and guitars. Things are going well, Ivan's in
very fine vocal form, we even have a title and a concept for the cover,
although we haven't actually settled on the exact cover yet.

It's a good thing "Safety Dance" is one of those songs you can hear a
million times and never get sick of it.  They have really milked it
for all it's worth over the years.  And in case that wasn't enough,
here comes more!

I was in Montreal last week and saw a movie poster for a movie called 'Nationale 7'.  Does anyone here think it has a connection with the song?

Well, as far as I understand, Nationale 7 is a major freeway in Quebec.
Both the song and that movie refer to it (my guess).  But I doubt the
movie is based on the song or anything related to MWH.  Stephen would
have told us about that one!

I did a check on this and the Nationale 7 is in France.

Super 87 is a freeway in the US (NY to be specific)
Europa 8 is in Germany?  Anyone know this one?

This is kind of goofy but I thought I'd share. I went up to Montreal this July and spotted an abstract Men Without Hats sign on the freeways of all places. Go check it out at this website:

When I was there last week, I saw a similar sign but with the man avec
chapeau but sans line.

well, the safety dance (a chunk of it at least) made it onto the fox show
'that 70s show'.  tonight's episode was the season premiere and flashed
forward into the 80s.  too funny.

Another siting:

I rented "Saving Silverman" (A horrible movie, BTW) last night and also
found a MWH reference.  One of the friends entered a talent show singing and
dancing to the "Safety Dance".

If anybody here on the list has Colin's solo CD Excerpts from Matter Vol III, you can check this out....

the last sound at the end of the 3rd track, "Life Still, Sleep Becalmed" sounds straight out of  the Pop Goes the World album. Just thought I'd mention it.....The whole CD is so mystical and not too much tie in to MWH at all....and then heard this sound at th end......like it would be in Lose my Way.....

For all of you living in Canada,

I was just wondering....how many different Hats songs have you heard on the radio since their inception?   I'm 22 years old, so I barely even remember Pop Goes the World when it was being played, not to mention Safety Dance......but did you guys get any PGTW album tracks on the radio other than the title track and Moonbeam? And how about ROY album and all others after or before?

Curious.

Collin

Has anybody heard anything as to whether or not MWH will possibly do some small touring thing upon the release of this new album?

To see them at a small venue would be absolutley amazing!

And on that topic, who on this list has seen the Hats perform and where?? I've never seen them.....

Did anybody see them do PGTW live or Sideways?

Subject: (hats) newest Hats fan
Date: 27 Sep 2001 08:01:52 -0700 (PDT)


OK, you guys are going to die laughing!  The newest
Hats fan is my 79-year-old grandmother.

I was driving my grandparents cross-country (long
story), and I brought some CDs that I roughly divided
into three categories: stuff they would like
(classical, big band), stuff they *might* like (Enya,
Chronos Quartet), and stuff I figured they'd hate
(MWH, MWH, MWH, U2, Duran Duran, MWH, MWH, MWH - you
get the idea).

So we get about to South Dakota and I'm about ready to
scream from boredom, so I put in the ROY demos.
Grandma asks, "Is this that Men Without Heads that you
like?"  Yes, grandma, close enough.  Grandma
continues, "Wow, this is pretty good."  I managed to
not drive off the road.

So then I put in The Spell, PGTW, and the Freeways
boot.  Grandma was totally jamming.  Grandma put in
her requests for Xmas presents: PGTW, most of the ROY
demo (she didn't like Treblinka or Rhythm of Youth),
and from The Spell, "That song that his little niece
is on."  She really liked "Editions of You," and
preferred the heavy guitar mix.

To save Grandpa's ears from bleeding (he "didn't care
for" MWH), I then put in the Glenn Miller CD that I
brought. It opens with "In the Mood," and Grandma
sighed deeply and loudly, put her right hand to her
forehead with her index finger and her thumb extended,
and proclaimed, "This is SO LAME!"

Who'd have thought it?

:-) Laura in NC

Great story, Laura!  Let's hear it for Grandmas!

They're the greatest!

Now how do I introduce my 84-year-old grandma to MWH?  I have no cross-country
road trips coming up...

:-)

I should also mention that my 2 1/2 year-old daughter LOVES Safety Dance.
 Not the extended version, though.  She bops up and down in her car seat
while we drive.  So cute!

I'm not sure if this is an actual play off of our favorite band's name or
not, but here in Atlanta a fund raiser is being planned with several local
top chefs called Chefs Without Hats.  There wasn't any in-depth info in the
paper on the title, but it seems to be a large event.

Well, maybe Ivan will release his jazz music and your grandfather will love
it :)
