That was how I felt exactly! I always liked "LIC" but not as much as I
did when I first heard "Collection". What a differnece!! Now I love
it. I should compare it to my vinyl one and try to find out why the cd
version is so much better.

Hello everyone!
I saw one CD UNIVERSE that they used to have a video of Pop goes the world, a
video of 13 or 14 minutes I think.
Have you ever heard or see this video????
Ciao!

Subject: (hats) I got the video tape!!!!!!
right after I replied to my e-mail yesterday and thought "I wonder when
I'll get my videocassette?", I went to check the (postal) mail and guess
what came? I was expectign it to arrive on Wednesday. Oh well, that made
my Monday happy!
First I'd like to say thank you oh so much Tom for that gift of music and
videos you so kindly offered to us. All that hard work!
The picture quality was amazing! For the videos and the concert clips.
Anyone know why Ivan has that stuff all over his face in the "Sideways"
video? And it was great seeing a fewllow list member on the tape, too! :)
I have a million things to say about the videos and other stuff on the
tape but in order not to risk spoiling it for others, I'll wait until
everyone has received their tape.
Do you realize how much discussion will start up once everyone watched
the tape? :)

At this time in Quebec (1990), they were a big fight agains't Gouvernment and
indians. These peoples was called "Warriors" and they were using paint in
there face.
I know that in one show in Montreal in 1990, Ivan was covered of paint too.
I have a french interview, I have to send to Tom norman ASAP...

Subject: (hats) Swing Dynamique?
Hi,
Does anyone have any more info on the band Swing Dynamique? An excerpt from
http://web.consulan.com/swing/article1.htm:
Forming a Django Reinhard tribute band might appear like an odd career choice for a musician.
...
Mike King ...says the decision to found a group dedicated to the music of the late, great Paris-based Bypsy
jazz guitarist was the result of a vision he had five years ago at a fruitstand in rural British Columbia.
...
There are also plans to record a live album, which will be released on Mainstream Records, the brand-new label
founded by Men Without Hats singer Ivan Doroschuk. The head Hat has also just signed on as Swing Dynamique's
manager.
...
About 95 per cent of the Swing Dynamique material is Reinhardt originals, though they currently do one tango
tune and end the sets with a swing-flavoured medley of the Jimi Hendrix classics, Third Stone from the Sun and
Purple Haze.
Jim

Got the video yesterday. Just have to say I think it is great and I'd
like to thank Tom and Si for helping me getting my copy.
Didnt know MWH was such a good live band. It's a pity I havent seen them

Anyone knows anything about the rare & live bootlegs?

Cool! Yes, its true. My birthday is November 12. I've been so busy, I
even forgot about it a couple of days ago. I'm still spending about 2 1/2
hours a day (or every other day) making videos. By the way, Carl's your
videos are finished. I've already started #20-#30 last week. I'm actually
on about #25 now. I should have ALL of these mailed by next weekend. Go
ahead and send me $10 if you are #20-#30.
Oh yeah, the master tapes are still "as I received them". I will let
you all know if I see any wear on them. I do realize that this is slow,
slow, slow. I am basically working from midnight to 9 am every night at my
company, and then I work for the hats fans another couple of hours every
morning until I hit my bed. Don't get me wrong, I love doing this! I just
want to explain why I can't do 3 tapes a day or something like that. My
boss has been hassling me over why I've got the lowest overtime ranking in
the department. Little does he know, I'm looking for another job (this
takes more time still).
I have some good news! I have some more hats footage to tape for
everyone. I have been slowly accumulating more stuff during the process of
making these videos. All the better for all of you! Now I can make some
audio cassettes as well. I will tell everyone 1/2 of what I have in mind.
The other half, you will find out in time.
Because Mike is in between jobs at the moment, I may be able to record
some cassettes for some people, later. I won't agree to this until I've
finished everyone's video, everyone.
Here it is:
1. I've got a near CD quality DAT copy of Freeways (euromix) and
Antarctica 1980. This is off of a sealed Freeways LP I picked up in Canada
around 1991. Thinking ahead, I put it on digital tape on the very first
play, therefore- CD quality, much better than the Gre. HAt. CD. I also have
the Rhythm of Youth CD, w/ other freeways tracks + freeways casstte w/ other
versions.
>-I am in a position to make a Freeways cassette for people who want
one<- This is side 1 or the cassette.
2. Someone has sent me a near perfect copy of Rhythm of Youth concert from
a CFNY radio show. He sent me his original cassette and I put it directly
to digital tape as well.
Safety Dance, I Like, WDTBG, Ideas for Walls, The Great Ones Remember,
Messiahs Die Young, Freeways, Security, I Got the Message, Moderne Dancing,
Things in my Life.
This is Side 2 of the cassette.
This is most of Mike's rare and live CDs anyway. Although I don't have a CD
writer, I can make some killer metal cassettes copies to hold us all until
Mikey comes through.
I was going to offer to tape ROY and FOLK CDs, but thanks to Carl, these
are soon available! Yeah! (Hey Carl, any chance of a Freeways mini CD release?)

Subject: (hats) new hatter
hello !
Ive only been on line for a few days and im really excited that there are
other hat listeners out there!
I first saw the hats in 1983 at Ontario Place (first tour)...i was so
impressed at that performance that i went to the first show on the "where
do the boys go?" world tour (toronto, aug 18, 1984) <i was only 15, and i
still have the newspaper reviews from it...> After that i tried to see the
Freeways tour (1985), but it was at a club that use to be called the
Diamond and it was licenced (3 years short of entry!!) The next time was at
Nathan Phillip Square in 1990 ( pre sideways) and then in 1991 (durning the
sideways tour)
I have a video of MWHs at the Spectrum in Montreal (MuchMusic) as well as a
little footage from the "where do the boys go?" tour.
If any one is intrested... i have copies of the ORIGINAL MWHs indie recording
(all on vinyl) ...id be willing to make cass copies....
If anyone has a rare CFNY (fm radio) recording of a 1983 show in
Toronto...please write me.....its the one thing id like to add to my
collection!
Ive always had a huge amount of respect towards Ivan and Stefan (and Colins
amazing Centrifugal Force CD ***new CF out in Spring as well as Ivans
forthcoming project !) and i think its cool that im not the only one that
was inspired by the hats music.
take care ....

WOW!!! You must be the most die-hard fan of Men Withouts Hats here!
What a collection! I am interested in knowing about the picture CDs
from the 80s. Picture CDs in Europe at that time? What pictures are
they? And which CDs? And how did you ever find them?! :)

What kind of music do you write? What have you done? Any of it got

I got lost in the last list changeover, but have found my way back.
Have read a few posts about some releases; i.e. Rhythm of Youth/Folk 80's III
2-fer, and Greatest Hats (is this the same as Collection?). Can
anyone bring me up to speed?

No, they are two different ones. The 2-fer is two albums together in one
package. Meaning "Rythm of Youth" and "Folk of the 80s part 3". Right
now, it's only going to be available outside of North America (I don't
know when it will be released). "Greatest Hats" is a collection of their
hits. It is the Canadian version of "Collection".
Whoa! I can see where the confusion is! :)

3 weeks ago, I received the Collection album from MWH (in import). I am from
Montreal, so I went to the store and I saw the Cd from the hats, It's called
GREATEST HATS. It is distributed by Aquarius (Corey Hart, etc.).
The difference is, they put Sideways, On tuesday and Freeways (Euro mix) and
they remove Messiah die young, I got the message (remix).
I didn't buy, I dont know if the images inside are the same....

Subject: (hats) Men Without Hats Day
Hey listfolk!
The coolest thing just happened. A friend from high school whom I haven't
spoken to in years called me up on the phone. He asked me if I knew why he
was calling. When I replied that I didn't, he reminded me that today is Men
Without Hats Day.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Tom and I were big MWH fans back in the
days of Rhythm Of Youth, and we decided (along with another friend and fan,
Dave) that November 14th should be MWH Day, in honor of the cute lyric from
"Things In My Life". The only custom for MWH Day was to listen to the first
album, of course. To this day (what, a dozen years later?) I think I have
only forgotten once. Until this year, when it completely slipped my mind.
Big thanks to Tom for reminding me.
Note: The Tom mentioned is not the famous listmember, though when I told him
I was on a MWH list, he laughed and thought about joining up (we'll see). He
was also really pleased to see the MWH homepages, etc., on the web. (It had
just never occurred to him to look.)
Anyway, to all of you -- Happy Men Without Hats Day!
- --Swahili Steve
n.p. Are you kidding me? What else? "Was it here, or yesterday...?"
Note to Lazlo: Regardless of whether or not the *size* of the digest is
cumbersome or not, the fact that I receive it only about once a week is cause
for some frustration. It's hard to keep up a thread under such
circumstances. Couldn't you please return it to a daily issue?

What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? Too bad November 14th
passed, but why not a Men Without Hats month? :) Just think of all the
things you can do!!!
1. Walk in a forest in the rain.
2. The "I Like" dance!
3. Settle down and get a dog and a wife.
4. Do the saftey dance.
5. Eat egg foo yung.
6. Walk around in circles singing.
7. Look for Tony!
8. Sing about the state of the art.
