Subject: (hats) Montreal

Hi everyone!

I got back from a weekned trip to Montreal and I'd liek to post a little
review of the hatless city if I may.  If you don't care to read this, hit
"delete" now :)

when compared with Toronto, I was always told Montreal was better and
Toronto was a cold concrete city.  I was always a little offended with this
but now that I've been to Montreal---IT'S SO TRUE!  Toronto is a nice city
but Montreal is nicer (more trees) and more european.  And more festive.  Oh
and the girls......;)  Anyway, unfortunatley, I wasn't able to meet any list
members nor do a proper MWH tour of Montreal but I did go to see the Olympic
stadium where the "Where Do The Boys Go?" video was filmed.  I saw a guy in
a car next to mine on the street who resembled Ivan.

HMV on Rue St. Catherine was a disappointment but that's nothing big anyway
:)  Except I was surprised to find a CD by Jeremie Arrobas!  For those who
don't know, he used tob e with MWH in the early early early days an dwrote
some of their songs.  The CD is called "Le grand manege".  When I saw it I
thought "COOL!  A little glimpse in the MWH world".  I wondered if I should
buy it seeing I have no idea what kind of music it was.  On the cd he
waslisted as playing the synthesizer so I assumed it would be techno or
something similar.  After hearing the "Rhythm of Youth" demo and the
"Freeways" ep why not?  Besides, it costed $7.  However, to my dismay, it
wasn't what I expected.  A good album but not my taste in music.  Not
techno, not electronic, more like the top 40 they play at sports bars (kind
of like country rock with emphasis on rock).  If anyone's interested, I can
sell it to them for $10 Cdn (the extra $3 goes to postage).  Which is a
bargain these days since the Canadian dollar keeps dropping like a brick.

I totally recommend Montreal for vacation.  I'm definitley going back often
and also for the Just For Laughs festival.

Daniele

Subject: (hats) Rational Youth

I just got two Rational Youth cds and I want to thank whoever recommended
them- and give another strong recommendation to you all to pick them up.
Go to www.gemm.com and you'll have your choice of sellers- I got mine
from Canada.

Oh- the German Import of Cold War Night Life has extra tracks- extended
versions of City of Night and Satrudays in Silesia.

Are you talking about Total Rational! here?

I have to also confirm this recommendation, I've been a fan since the
early 80's.  Actually saw them in concert this past Friday in Toronto, a
very good show in a very small club.  For more info see their website:

www.rationalyouth.com

If anyone has trouble locating any of their CD's I'd be glad to help out
where I can, the CD's are fairly available around here (Ontario,
Canada).

Subject: (hats) MP3 format.

Hi gang.

Except for Simon Berthiaume, I didn't have any answer regarding the fact that
I'm stuck with my old Windows 3.1 and I can't convert Wav file to MP3.

What I have to convert is remixes of Open your eyes, the brady bunch (weird al
safety dance) and other stuff from mitsou.

PLease let me know

Francis

Francis,

Do you mind using a DOS program?
I've got one that is command line driven, (not everyone's cup of tea)

Let me know, I'll get it to ya...

Subject: (hats) Update on MP3 site and CDS

Hello everyone - I thought I would update everyone on the website and Cds that
you should be about to order in a couple weeks. I have been out of town the
last 5 days (in San Fran and picked up a pop goes the world record for 99cents
at a record store) and I will be leaving again tomorrow for another 5 days.

I am trying to get the other cds in mp3 format on the website by tomorrow if
everything goes right.

- -Richard

Subject: (hats) Ivan Cd promo up

CD 9 is now up on my site at www.holdman.com/mwh

This is the 21st century promo disc with some interviews on it. There are
pictures of the front and back cover so you will have to download the JPG first
to see what tracks are what. I will be renaming the tracks and putting cd 6 on
the site when I get back in 5 days. Until then you can download the new files.

See ya!

- -Richard
