Subject: (hats) The list seems to be seriously struggling

Are people alive here?  Does anybody have ANY feelings at all on songs or are
they all exhausted??.....God, it's weird, I mean, I'm a pretty normal kid.
My friends laugh at me sometimes when I say I'm on an e-mail list for an 80's
band, but I actually used to like hearing what everybody had to say here.

It has just seemed to dry up so much recently....ever since we couldn't get
the bootlegs....although i'm only 21 (actually, i just turned 21 about 9
MINUTES ago) I've been on the list for over 3 years.  We used to talk about
stuff, whether it was top 5 favorites, or what songs meant either literally
or emotinally. While, most of the time, I would read the e-mails, and
sometimes either not understand or not agree, often, I would hear songs in a
different way after reading some comments.

I'm not an e-mail junky so I understand if people don't check there mail
often....but send a comment or two (ESPECIALLY ALL OF THE NEW PEOPLE ON THIS
LIST)........you'll be amazed at the feedback you can get!

For example, why does Ivan say that whole "And the old man looked at the
young boy sharply in the eye...." speech on the live Great Ones
Remember.....was that cut off the original??

Collin,  Happy Birthday!

I agree that the hats list does seem to be seriously struggling.  But...it's
always seemed to come and go in spurts.  I'm as much to blame as anybody
since I almost never post anything to the list and I've been on the list for
a couple of years now.

I actually have been wondering how many MWH fans have heard music from
Rational Youth.  I haven't heard anything from them, but if they sound
anything like early MWH than I may have to purchase some of their cds.

Also, has anybody heard Stefan's new band's, The Makenzie Parker Gang, cd?
I've heard some of the samples of songs from his web site and quite liked
them, but haven't heard the full cd.

That's All Folks!

Subject: (hats) Hats Video

I had a pleasant surprise last week. There's a weird '80s group called Stump
that I like. Their music is very non-harmonic, and their lyrics are
sometimes goofy and sometimes surreal. The closest thing I can compare them
to is the Seinfeld theme song.

Anyway, I found a fellow Stump fan on the net, who mentioned that he had all
three of their videos. I had only heard about one of them, and had never
even seen it, so he offered to make me a copy of those three, and fill up
the rest of the tape with other videos he liked. There was a lot of
Kraftwerk, some NiN, Prodigy, Squeeze, and others, and the very last video
on it was Safety Dance!

It was cool to find another MWH fan in an unexpected place.

In Reply to an inquiry about the Canadian band Rational
Youth:
The have new stuff out that does not sound like MWH, but is good on it's
own, especially their Remixes for the New Cold War EP.
I have not heard their earlier stuff, but they were big up north around
the same time MWH was.
Sorry for being off topic, just trying to be helpful.

Every MWH fan should pick up Cold War Night Life by Rational Youth. You
won't be disappointed.

Definitely not; it's one of the classic synthpop albums. (I was one of the
hundreds of fans who sent an email to EMI Canada, begging for them to
release CWNL on CD, which they eventually did. Tracy Howe autographed my
copy dedicated "To my friend Anders"...) The new one, _To The Goddess
Electricity_, is pretty good too - sounds a bit like the old material
while also being modern. Don't know about _Heredity_ because I've never
even seen a copy... They've put a bunch of songs online at
www.mp3.com/rationalyouth - some seven or eight songs, I think. (Hope
you're not too annoyed with my trying to plug RY, but I *am* a loyal
fan and happen to think they're nice guys who deserve to sell a lot of
records...)

Later,

I remember covering "The Safety Dance" in high school... I sang to a
backing tape that a friend and I had recorded, using an Amiga 500 with
some SoundTracker clone and a live synthesizer (Roland JX-3P, I think?)
straight onto the tape - no overdubs! So, I sang, Jessica operated the
only stage light we had (a floor lamp) and Mats danced like an utter
loony. I think someone videoed it, but I've never seen a copy; the only
visible evidence I have is a photo *I* took of the audience! We got the
biggest applause of all the acts that night... (This proved to be the only
performance ever of Kentucky Fried Kitten, as we called ourselves; we
graduated six weeks later and moved to different parts of the country. I
don't think the three of us have been in the same room more than once
since then.)

If I ever find a copy - audio or video - of our performance, I promise
I'll sample it, make an MP3 file (or even an MPEG movie, if I can get a
good video grabber) and put it online for your possible amusement. Still
have the instrumental backing tape...

Subject: RE: (hats) Hats Covers

The one big issue I found with the covers is a lack of interest/motivation.
I TRIED to get a few of us together to do it, but I lacked the managerial
skills to keep everyone together...and the plan fell apart.  I'd like to see
one done, but it is VERY hard to organize a bunch of people scattered across
the world.  But, hey, I'm always up to give anyone a hand who wants to try!

There's a book on Pop Up Video with screen shots of all their videos.  The
last one is "The Safety Dance" :)

Subject: (hats) Men Without Hats on Jeopardy

I was watching Rock N Roll Jeopardy on VH1 today, and somebody guessed Men
Without Hats for the answer to one of the questions.....or the questions to
one of the answers......they were wrong, it was a different Canadian band.

It was Brad who answered it wrong, from that show Everyone Loves Raymond.

Just thought I'd share the free plug.
