Subject: (hats) Is that Colin?
Is that Colin with the black hair in the black sleeveless shirt
doing aerobics behind the keyboards in the Le Spectrum de Montreal
concert video?
And is he too the "rapper" / keyboard player behind Ivan in the 1997
Montreal video with the buggy sunglasses?

Subject: (hats) Ivan likes tea?
What's up with the letter "T" being over on the side of the set in the
"I Like" video? It reads like "I LIKE T". Is Ivan *that* fond of tea?

Subject: (hats) Voivod Men
I have noticed many similarities between the Men Without Hats, "Sideways"
video and that of Voivod, "Astronomy Domine". Since Ivan and Voivod have
been known to work together at some level at some time in the past - the
specifics of which I am not sure - could it be that both of these videos
were directed by the same person? Or are these similarities accidental?

Subject: Re: (hats) Is that Colin? and the others too
The rapper/keyboard player in 1997 is Hugo Bugg.
the videos can not be synced with the cd files because the many of the videos
have audio mixes specific to the videos.
Anyone any ideas about the "T"?
My guess is it is in reference to Christianity, as the song has to do with
those people who claim to have it all figured out, exampled in the video as
preachers and military men- extreme examples of those who live in a reality
where everything is rigidly defined. But who knows? Anyone else?
Michel Langevin, the drummer of Voivod, plays the drums on the Sideways
album. So they could very well have made video similarites on purpose.

Oh yes, I remember that now. Colin is present in the video before
the soundcheck. I couldn't imagine how he'd come to look so different
before and during the show! Thanks for putting me back on track.
Um, so what was Colin's role regarding the shows promoting "The Spell"?

I'll be this isn't the case with all of them. I think it's still worth
a try. The question is, what kind of equipment would it take? I could
give it a shot with my two HiFi VCRs and my MiniDisc deck but...
>> Anyone any ideas about the "T"?

What does Christianity have in common with the letter T?

Before I saw the video, I only the lyrics to ponder. The lyrics seem
to refer simply to ignorant, rich, teenaged brats who think they know it all.
I find it disturbing when I see people having such negative opinions of
the clergy and the military. They make a lot more sense to me than people
who think the world is going to pop if North Americans keep eating
hamburgers.

Hmmm... Have you seen the Voivod video for "Astronome Domine"?
The camera swoops around and over and under the drum kit and the band
in much the same way it does in "Sideways" - but to an even greater effect.
It's pretty kewl. I have it on a videotape of MTV. (Oh, geez! I'm really
dating myself now by saying that! MTV hasn't played videos in years!)

I always thought that the "T" in the I Like video represented
'Tony.' In the line:
"They kidnapped Tony, hey, where did they go..."
I figured since it was his friend's brother or something, that he was
paying homage to him through this video.

Hey!
I have a good frame grabber. I don't think you will loose quality if I
convert the videos in MPG.
