Another siting:

I rented "Saving Silverman" (A horrible movie, BTW) last night and also
found a MWH reference.  One of the friends entered a talent show singing and
dancing to the "Safety Dance".

Subject: (hats) Colin Doroschuk sounds

If anybody here on the list has Colin's solo CD Excerpts from Matter Vol III, you can check this out....

the last sound at the end of the 3rd track, "Life Still, Sleep Becalmed" sounds straight out of  the Pop Goes the World album. Just thought I'd mention it.....The whole CD is so mystical and not too much tie in to MWH at all....and then heard this sound at th end......like it would be in Lose my Way.....

Subject: (hats) Hats in Montreal

For all of you living in Canada,

I was just wondering....how many different Hats songs have you heard on the radio since their inception?   I'm 22 years old, so I barely even remember Pop Goes the World when it was being played, not to mention Safety Dance......but did you guys get any PGTW album tracks on the radio other than the title track and Moonbeam? And how about ROY album and all others after or before?

Curious.

Collin

Subject: (hats) touring?

Has anybody heard anything as to whether or not MWH will possibly do some small touring thing upon the release of this new album?

To see them at a small venue would be absolutley amazing!

And on that topic, who on this list has seen the Hats perform and where?? I've never seen them.....

Did anybody see them do PGTW live or Sideways?

Collin from Savannah.

Subject: (hats) newest Hats fan

OK, you guys are going to die laughing!  The newest
Hats fan is my 79-year-old grandmother.

I was driving my grandparents cross-country (long
story), and I brought some CDs that I roughly divided
into three categories: stuff they would like
(classical, big band), stuff they *might* like (Enya,
Chronos Quartet), and stuff I figured they'd hate
(MWH, MWH, MWH, U2, Duran Duran, MWH, MWH, MWH - you
get the idea).

So we get about to South Dakota and I'm about ready to
scream from boredom, so I put in the ROY demos.
Grandma asks, "Is this that Men Without Heads that you
like?"  Yes, grandma, close enough.  Grandma
continues, "Wow, this is pretty good."  I managed to
not drive off the road.

So then I put in The Spell, PGTW, and the Freeways
boot.  Grandma was totally jamming.  Grandma put in
her requests for Xmas presents: PGTW, most of the ROY
demo (she didn't like Treblinka or Rhythm of Youth),
and from The Spell, "That song that his little niece
is on."  She really liked "Editions of You," and
preferred the heavy guitar mix.

To save Grandpa's ears from bleeding (he "didn't care
for" MWH), I then put in the Glenn Miller CD that I
brought. It opens with "In the Mood," and Grandma
sighed deeply and loudly, put her right hand to her
forehead with her index finger and her thumb extended,
and proclaimed, "This is SO LAME!"

Who'd have thought it?

:-) Laura in NC

Subject: (hats) Re: newest Hats fan

Great story, Laura!  Let's hear it for Grandmas!

They're the greatest!

Now how do I introduce my 84-year-old grandma to MWH?  I have no cross-country
road trips coming up...

:-)

I should also mention that my 2 1/2 year-old daughter LOVES Safety Dance.
 Not the extended version, though.  She bops up and down in her car seat
while we drive.  So cute!

Subject: (hats) Chefs Without Hats

I'm not sure if this is an actual play off of our favorite band's name or
not, but here in Atlanta a fund raiser is being planned with several local
top chefs called Chefs Without Hats.  There wasn't any in-depth info in the
paper on the title, but it seems to be a large event.

Well, maybe Ivan will release his jazz music and your grandfather will love
it :)

Subject: (hats) Ivan

Hey all,

Here's a funny question for you. I know that a new album is being made at
the moment and obviously that takes time, but what I want to know is this:
what does Ivan do all day? I'm serious. Maybe the good list members in
Canada can help. Other music that we never get to hear about? Is he ever on
TV / radio in any shape or form, other than when there is an MWH record or
The Spell?

Stefan has the studio and presumably has regular-ish employment as an
engineer for whatever bands choose to book there (is that right?), but what
exactly does Ivan do all the time? Or did The Safety Dance make enough money
for him never to need to get out of bed ever again?

Just curious!

Mike
