Subject: (hats) Stillness

I don't know why the list has slowed down so much but as for me, ever since
the concert fell through I have not had much reason to write.

I am kind of disappointed with Ivan's decision not to do the show.  I
understand the reasons why he may not have been interested, but I think his
and his management's  handling of the situation could have been more direct
and personal
to the fans, written in a list posting or something.  It was, however, a
tactful let-down: their telling us that he would do the show if he could do it
as a solo artist with solo material.  But he and his management knew
full well that we wanted to see a Men Without Hats show.

I have  not heard anything from Francis so I will assume the entire plan has
been scrapped.

Maybe some other year, when Ivan realizes the true worth of his life-long
fans.

I think it as nothing to do with how Ivan value his "fans", I think it ha=
s to
do with doing what you believe in. It looks like Ivan wants to go forward=
,
nothing wrong with that.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

To add my 2 cents, I don' feel like we were mistreated in any way.  In my
opinion, Ivan's management did not email the list because Francis was our
spokesperson.  He went to the management representing us and then he'd tell
us what management said.  Also, I agree with Claude when he says he doesn't
see anything wrong with Ivan moving forward.  In the beginning we decided
that if Ivan wants to do the show it would be cool.  So he didn't.  A while
back, Tom said perhaps it is because of the time to get the band together
and rehearse.
Maybe when Men Without Hats records their new album, this idea might happen.
But I wouldn't expect a totally private show.

I'm very curious to know what is Francis' idea! :)


By the way, I'm not sure if I already said this, I was making a tape for the
car one day and was going through my CDs choosing which to record.  I came
across the "Freeways" boot and thought aboutt he discussion about listening
to "Freeways" in the car while driving on...well, a freeway.  IT'S TRUE!!!!!
It wasn't a night, but on the highway the song is perfect!  Then I happened
to be listening to it on the road (not the highway) and it wasn't the same.
It's perfect for the highway.  It's the words and the music.

Also, I was on my way to an interview and popped in my PGTW tape (I have the
feeling I mentioend this already).  WHAT A REFRESHING ALBUM!!!!!  I don't
know why, but it was so rejuvenating.  I guess I was depressed for a while
about job search (still looking!) and the music was upbeat.  Or perhaps you
listen to the lyrics about the environment and put things in perspective.

Subject: (hats) MWH vids.....again!!!

A number of weeks back, I asked if anybody had any MWH videos for sale. I
got a reply from one of you guys in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and I was
interested in getting the vids and cd's you were offering. Well, to make a
long story painful,...I've been out of town (away from my beloved computer)
and when I got back, all the messages I'd been saving had been
deleted...including the one that I needed to get in touch with that guy in
Oklahoma. So if you're out there - and you know who you are - please get in
touch with me.

Cheers, Vamp.

yes, daniele...

PGTW has always been a great one to throw in for a quick `pick-me-
up'...usually if i am going through a major change in my life (like moving),
or when i am picking myself up and dusting myself off, or just, like you said
earlier, for a refreshing change...

i wonder if this is available in diet...ooops, i thought we were talking about
SODA pop! ;-)

bad puns aside, well put, daniele:)

Subject: (hats) Ivan on MusiquePlus

Hello friends!

I was sure somebody would beat me to it (I taped it and watched it 2 hours
later). So a few words about Ivan's appearance on MusiquePlus. First, the
expected 1 hour interview turned out to be a very short half hour deal :-(

Since MusiquePlus are doing an 80's weekend, Ivan was invited as a member of
MWH, not as a solo act (he didn't say a word about The Spell). Highlights of
the show include THE explication of Safety Dance (more on that later) and a
performance of Safety Dance (this is not a typo). He was singing over a tape
(the same one used during the Spell "tour" if my memory is correct). He was
accompanied by one dancer (Sahara, Laura is happy ;o). Ivan's singing was VERY
GOOD. Nothing like what he did on the Erica Hem's show. The mixing was average
(the music in the background), but Ivan was so good that I didn't mind.

When asked if MWH was dead, Ivan's answer was: "I wouldn't say that". He then
talked about future projects. Stephan, who owns a recording studio north of
Quebec, is working on a country project with singer-songwriter Mack MacKenzie
(of Three O'Clock Train fame, another Montreal 80's band).

Colin will release "Centrifugal Force" this summer on Uforia. I don't know if
this will be a reedition of "Excerpts From Matter (VOL III)" (anybody knows
something about volume I and II?) or something new. In either cases I would
strongly recommend it. Centrifugal Force is the definite proof that talent
runs in the Doroschuk family.

Ivan then mentioned 3 other projects for Uforia: a thing called Naked Yoga
(trance-techno), another rock-techno project (no name) and a new band Ivan is
putting toghether (of the bass/drum/guitar varieties, Sideways take 2?)

They also talked about the fact that MWH always came up with something new,
different from their previous work. Ivan confirmed that he was interested in
exploring the new possibilities of music. When asked for his sources of
inspiration he mentioned Supertramp, Genesis, then Roxy Music... progressive
rock. He also said that in their very first incarnation (the pre-Arrobas era)
their main influences were the Beatles and the Sex Pistol.

They also played the Pop Goes The World clip. There you have it. I have taped
the show and will send it to Tom (Tom where are you?).

Take care all

Claude

Please excuse the traffic but my HD crashed and I have lost e-mail

CD and have lost my contact information for the kind gentleman that was
taking on the project.  Any information would greatly be appreciated.


Thank you, Mike

YAY!!!!  Trance-techno from Ivan.  That should be great!  Looks like Ivan will
be a busy little bee running all these bands.  Will he be running them or
recording them?

Thank you for giving us the details on this!

By the way, what is "Exceprts From Matter"?  I think this was mentioned before.

Subject: (hats) Some 80s music

Everyone,

We were very lucky to have Oglio put out the Men Without Hats collection
and 2-fer. But now I'm hoping that they'll put out more '80s music. I've
been after them for over a year to put out Ebn-Ozn's "Feeling Cavalier" on CD.

They wrote me back yesterday to say that they couldn't do it unless they
could guarantee that 25000 copies would be sold.

So I was wondering: how would I go about conducting a survey or petition
or signature list over the Net for '80s music lovers? I don't want to
resort to spam or anything like that, but I'd like to find the 25000
fans I know must be out there and communicate this to Oglio.

Any help that anyone can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
