Recently: Cool Hand Luke - Nice soundtrack from Lalo Schifrin with a mixture of Lalo-isms a la Bullitt and some plain jane soundtrack fayre. Pretty good without being sensational Music for Sensuous Lovers by Z - I was determined to get more of Mort Garson's stupid records after hearing Electric Hair Pieces so here's another one. Two sides of stupid noodling with occasional breathy bits and filtered down moogy noises. Wierd (who bought this kind of crap when it came out?) but I like it. Black Mass - Lucifer - Ditto. More scary moogy noises and lots of high speed pieces. Cool but equally stupid. Quincy Jones - Big Band Bossa Nova - A nice proper LP this, with good tracks and the standout title tune (which I love). I've been after this for a while and am very pleased to finally have it. Richard Hayman - Genuine Electric Latin Love Machine - Moog madness on this one. Windmills of your Mind is excellent, the rest is far out and very very over the top. I am very impressed. Age of Electronicus, Moog (Eclectic Electrics of DH), Copper Plated Integrated Cicuit, Genuine Electric Latin Love Machine - Are there any more Command Moog records I should be looking out for? Okko - Blues and Electronics - Moogs and various grooves underneath them. Nothing special on this one IMO. Jon Murtaugh - Blues Current - More Moogs over jazzy grooves with a very serious and sensible attitude, not what's needed on a Moog lp. Mr Mutaugh should have taken a course in chemical over-indulgence to combat his over-intellectual jazz condition. The Nucleus - Galt MacDermot - Interesting slow breaktbeat jazz lp that claims its a soundtrack to some film. Very cool, if a little repetitive with all 10 tracks being worth a listen. And if you've read this far, can anybody recommend Galt MacDermot's Hair Pieces, Ghetto Suite, Isabel's a Jezabel, Salome Bey (Dude), Mystic, Mass in our Time, O Babylon, La Novela, Hair Cuts, Homestead Upright or The Karl Marx Play.

I think Richard Hayman's "Cinemagic Sounds" has a bit of Moog but it's almost imperceptible and certainly nothing like the monster that is GELLM. Interestingly, although all of those LPs were on Command, I don't believe any were actually produced by Enoch Light (he'd moved on to Project 3 by then). The only Moog LPs which he did produce were "Permissive Polyphonics" and "Spaced Out" on Project 3, though "Brass Menagerie 1973" (also on Project 3) rather inexplicably has Dick Hyman's "Explorations for Moog" as the last track!

He was 58. Liverpool police found O'Hara in the Wavertree area of the northern English port city. An inquest will convene Thursday. Formed in 1962, the Fourmost was managed by Brian Epstein, who also managed the Beatles. The group had half a dozen hit singles from 1963-65, including ``Hello Little Girl'' and ``I'm In Love'' by Lennon and McCartney. BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 30 (UPI) -- Allan Carr, the flamboyant producer best known for the 1978 movie ``Grease'' and the 1984 Broadway musical ``La Cage aux Folles,'' is dead of cancer. Carr was 62 when he died Tuesday at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. Raised in Highland Park, Ill., Carr attended Lake Forest College and Northwestern University. He broke into show business while still in his teens, when his parents financed his small investment in the Broadway production of ``Auntie Mame.'' After college, Carr helped create a television show for Playboy Enterprises. He also founded the Civic Theatre in Chicago, presenting such stars as Bette Davis and Eva La Gallienne in regional theater productions. He was an assistant to director Nicholas Ray on the 1961 movie ``King of Kings,'' but soon moved into management, representing such international stars as Peter Sellers, Ann-Margret, Tony Curtis and Melina Mercouri. Carr is credited with discovering actresses Marlo Thomas and Michelle Pfeiffer. He produced ``The First Time,'' starring Jacqueline Bisset, and ``C. C. and Company,'' starring Ann-Margret. He worked with producer Robert Stigwood as a creative marketing consultant for the movie adaptation of the rock opera ``Tommy.'' The collaboration eventually led to ``Grease,'' which established Carr as one of Hollywood's leading producers. In 1984, he won a Tony award for his Broadway production of ``La Cage aux Folles. Carr was well known in Hollywood for his lavish parties and was often photographed lounging about in a colorful caftan, looking like a potentate. Carr had undergone a kidney transplant in December, shortly after his third hip replacement surgery. A publicist for Carr says he was diagnosed with cancer about one month ago. Carr left no survivors and requested that there be no funeral service.

You can't use the word "reasonable", spelled correctly or not, when it comes to records like this. If you refuse to pay 30 bucks for any record, on principle, then don't buy it. But if you want a classic "collectable" record that you may not see again in any kind of shape - without paying a similar amount - then buy it and be glad you have it. Only if it's in good shape though. There's virtually no record that you might not find someday in a thrift store or in a record store where the guy doesn't really know what he has.

He has a deep abiding love of all things tiki, and agreed to do our cover for special labor-of-love rate! You can also see his amazing art at www.mendenhallgallery.com who represents him in Pasadena, CA. To share a few words from his catalog: "Well, I have to admit I don't really paint my paintings; a magic monkey does. He comes to my studio late at night, when it's very quiet. Mysterious things happen late at night when most people are asleep. I help the magic monkey, but he does most of the work. My big job is to get him to show up..... things have to flow from a place that is more subconscious and uninhibited... I believe to get ideas you have to nourish the spirit. I stuff myself full of the things I like: pictures of bugs, paintings by Bougurreau and David, books by PT Barnum, films by Ray Harryhausen, old photos of strange people, children's books about space and science, medical illustrations, music by Sinatra and Debussy, magazines, TV, Jung and Freud, Ren and Stimpy, Joseph Campbell and Nostradamus, Ken and Barbie, alchemy, freemasonary, Buddhism. At night my head is so full of ideas I can't sleep. I mix it all together and create my doctrine of life and the universe.... to me, the world is full of awe and wonder. This is what I put in my paintings." And he mixes it up in the most incredible ways! Other recurring themes are bees, Christina Ricci, Abe Lincoln, meat. If nothing else, buy the catalog of "The Meat Show." He also did a group show in 1996 at La Luz de Jesus Gallery, L.A. called "21st Century Tiki." alohadercci, Fluid Floyd Lou Smith wrote: > > Y'all might recognize Ryden as the cover artist on: > Les Baxter: Exotic Moods of Les Baxter > Jackie Gleason: Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason > Martin Denny: Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuck Subject: (exotica) Changing le Topic Date: 01 Jul 1999 11:48:20 -0700 (PDT) --- laura.taylor@us.pwcglobal.com wrote: > >>>Have it, but on vinyl...NEXT?

Nothing that you couldn't find in his own homepage though.... http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Moritz.Reichelt /masterpieces.html For a Californian artist Mark's paintings look kind of "English" to me, they look like Alice from Wonderland has travelled America. Contrary to most Californian artists, especially those who are prominent in JuxtaPoz, he's not so much into cruel, violent, "negative" things, which I sometimes see too much in that corner of the art world. If not handled by a master like Robert Williams such paintings can just be very bad and boring. Not so Mark Ryden: even if some of his motives are absurd, there is always a certain loveliness in them, that will - and I'm sure about this - have a big coming out in the next century. Same thing goes for Shag, btw. Mark doesn't have such a dominant graphic style like Shag has, which is very decorative of course, but sometimes the figures in Shag's pictures are a bit cramped in their individuality by the formal structures. Just a remark, that doesn't detract from my general appreciation for his work. Both artist have an incredible hand for the use of colours. Just my 2 cents about two of the leading Exotica artists today. -Mo # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: (exotica) 70s soundtracks.

My small collection (CDs >mostly) has some room to grow and this list has not let me down yet. Taxi Driver was one of the last (It's Alive 2 I think was the last) soundtracks that Herrmann worked on. His stuff I like, but the other part of it is taken up by Tom Scott. I have a "thing" about Scott. When they needed Jazz on the soundtrack, it seemed that he and Dave Grusin were the only people they called (Quincy Jones consciously stopped making soundtrack albums). So I have a built-in dislike of his stuff. i am willing to hear the soundtrack again, but... My recommendations: The Tin Drum - Maurice Jarre' - What a soundtrack this is! Beatiful orchestral work and very evocative of the odd tone of the movie. I have it on Celine Records, but it seems to have been reissued, as well it should be. Midnight Cowboy - While I don't need to hear "Everybody's Talkin'" any more (Mom, stop playing it!!!) it does feature John Barry's wonderfully odd "Florida Fantasy" and also "Jungle Gym At the Zoo" by Elephant's Memory. Live and Let Die - Yeah, but this is a McCartney song that I like! Also, it features some great music by George Martin. Super Fly - (Hello, Jane!) - I saw this when it came out, flipped my brother off and that was the end of R-rated movies for me for a while. Unexpected treat is "Junkie Chase", great action music. Curtis Mayfield songs, yes, yes. The first soundtrack album ever bought for me. That guy that I flipped off bought it for me! Enter the Dragon - LaloLaloLalo!

It's very light and humerous, with subtle washes of drum&bass tossed in, and too fast in tempo. I hope the DJs on this list have been giving this play. The majority of the rest of the disc is a bit more abstract and/or dark in tone, but this song always makes me smile and laugh. I wish I knew the original source recordings he sampled.

Date: 02 Jul 1999 09:39:01 -0400 >How's the Hollywood situation? the LP is unknown to me, as the Hudson >Brothers also are. To add to the commentary of Ben Waugh: The Hudson Brothers, Bill, Mark and Brett came from seemingly nowhere with a summer replacement show, which was synopsized by TV Guide as being a combination of "The Marx Brothers and the Beatles". Perhaps it was the British Invasion sound of the Marx Brothers and the slapstick comedy of the Beatles, but it would seem that their managers went into warp speed: - The mid-summer show - The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show (a kiddie show) - Appearances on the Hollywood Squares Apparently, they too had had enough of the squeaky clean image and changed their name to "Hudson". Their songs "Lonely School Year" and "Coochie-Coo" still haunt my memory and I HATE being haunted! I disliked them intensely then, but the standard twenty years has passed and who knows, they might come back in style.

He was 42. Initial reports suggested Brown died of complications caused by respiratory problems, but his cause of death had not yet been confirmed. Brown rose to prominence amid a 1970s wave of reggae singers that included Bob Marley, who introduced reggae music to listeners worldwide. He released a string of hit songs beginning with ``No Man is an Island,'' which he recorded in 1969 at the age of 12. The singer's most fruitful period came later, when he produced hits including ``Westbound Train,'' ``How Could I Leave,'' and ``Ghetto Girl.'' He earned a Grammy nomination in 1995 for his album Light My Fire. From the Jamaica Daily Gleaner... Dennis Brown is dead Cardiac arrest at UHWI DENNIS BROWN, hailed as the "Crown Prince of Reggae" in deference to Bob Marley's kingly rating, died at the University Hospital in Kingston this morning. A spokesman for Brown's camp said the 42-year-old entertainer had been ailing for several weeks, and his condition worsened last night when he was rushed to hospital. *Sylvia Sidney NEW YORK (AP) -- Sylvia Sidney, the waiflike star of the 1930s who specialized in playing victims and got an Oscar nomination in 1973 for a comeback role in ``Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams,'' died Thursday of throat cancer. She was 88. Miss Sidney made her professional theater debut at 16 and was still acting 70 years later, with a brief appearance in the 1988 hit ``Beetlejuice'' and a small role in ``Mars Attacks'' in 1996. She had recently signed a seven-year contract for a recurring role on the TV series ``Fantasy Island.'' After breaking into films in the late '20s, she became one of Paramount's top actresses. The others, Marlene Dietrich, Claudette Colbert and Carole Lombard among them, were tough and sharp-witted -- the way Miss Sidney was in person. But her film specialty was playing victims: the slum girl murdered by her fiance in ``An American Tragedy,'' the nice girlfriend of racketeer Gary Cooper in ``City Streets,'' the nice girlfriend of Spencer Tracy, falsely accused of murder, in ``Fury.'' Among the directors she worked with were Rouben Mamoulian, in ``City Streets,'' 1931; Josef von Sternberg, in ``An American Tragedy,'' 1931; Alfred Hitchcock in ``Sabotage'' (also called ``A Woman Alone''), 1936; William Wyler, in ``Dead End,'' 1937; and Fritz Lang in ``Fury,'' 1936, ``You Only Live Once,'' 1937, and ``You and Me,'' 1938. But she tired of being typecast as a victim, referring in an interview years later to ``the days when they used to pay me by the teardrop.'' She enjoyed her infrequent comedies, such as ``Merrily We Go to Hell,'' 1932, and ``Thirty-Day Princess,'' 1934. And she turned away from films more and more, returning to the stage in such productions as ``The Gentle People'' in 1939; ``Angel Street'' in 1941; ``The Fourposter'' in 1951; and ``Enter Laughing'' in 1963. ``I didn't leave Hollywood because of anybody but myself,'' she once said. ``I just got disgusted with myself. I didn't know who I was, as an actress or a person.'' Her return to the screen was in the 1973 drama ``Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams,'' in which she played Joanne Woodward's doomed mother. She was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actress. In 1986, she won a Golden Globe award and was nominated for an Emmy for ``An Early Frost,'' a TV movie in which she played the grandmother of an AIDS patient. In ``Beetlejuice,'' Miss Sidney played a cranky otherworldly adviser to a husband and wife who die and must learn the ways of the spirit world. Miss Sidney, a descendant of Russian Jews, was born Sophia Kosow in New York City on Aug. 8, 1910. She began taking dancing lessons at age 10 and was a teen-ager when she made her professional stage debut in 1926. She married three times, to publisher Bennett Cerf, actor Luther Adler and publicist Carlton Alsop. All three marriages ended in divorce. Jacob Adler, her only child, died in the mid-1980s of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease. After he fell ill, Miss Sidney became a volunteer for the National ALS Foundation. Miss Sidney also was an accomplished needlepoint artist and wrote two books on the subject. She has no survivors. A memorial service was scheduled for Aug. 9 at the National Arts Club in New York. NEW YORK, July 2 (UPI) -- Character actress Sylvia Sidney has died of throat cancer at a hospital in New York. She was 88. Among her credits in seven decades of acting were appearances in the 1996 comedy ``Mars Attacks!'' and the new version of ``Fantasy Island'' that ran briefly on ABC-TV last year. Sidney garnered her only Academy Award nomination for her supporting role as Joanne Woodward's mother in the 1973 film ``Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams.'' The role was considered a comeback for Sidney, who had been absent from the movies since the mid-1950s. Among her more memorable roles was that of Juno, the grumpy social worker from the afterlife in the 1988 film ``Beetlejuice.'' Born Sophia Kosow in the Bronx, N.Y., on Aug. 8, 1910, Sidney gained the surname Sidney when she was adopted by the dental surgeon her mother married after he parents divorced. She made her stage debut at age 16 and moved into movies in the early 1930s, acting in films including ``An American Tragedy,'' ``Ladies of the Big House,'' and ``The Miracle Man.'' She has no survivors. A memorial service is scheduled for Aug. 9 at the National Arts Club in New York. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Film director Edward Dmytryk, a member of the Hollywood Ten who served prison time during the Red Scare-era witch hunts of the 1940s and was blacklisted until named names of his communist comrades, died Thursday night. He was 90. Dmytryk, who worked with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, had been ill for a year and succumbed to heart and kidney failure, said his wife, Jean Porter. He died in his Encino home. Dmytryk was a rising young director at RKO Pictures in 1945 when he joined the Communist Party. He said he stayed ``only a few months,'' but two years later the House Committee on Un-American Activities called him and nine other Hollywood figures to a Washington hearing. All refused to answer questions about party membership. They were convicted of contempt and sentenced to a year in federal prison. When Dmytryk finished his sentence, he admitted that he had been a party member. He hadn't done it before, he remarked in 1988, ``because they would call me a coward; they'd say I was doing it simply to stay out of jail.'' In 1951, Dmytryk returned to the House committee and identified 26 people as communists. ``I didn't feel guilty about talking,'' he said later. ``I knew (the accused) would call me a rat. But I did what I wanted to do. I have never regretted.'' Dmytryk directed ``The Caine Mutiny,'' ``Raintree County,'' ``The Young Lions,'' ``The Carpetbaggers'' and other films starring some of Hollywood's biggest names. Like Elia Kazan, the recent recipient of a controversial honorary Oscar, Dmytryk was never forgiven for naming names by others who had been blacklisted. In 1988, the Barcelona Film Festival organized a symposium about Hollywood's blacklist, inviting Dmytryk and three others who had been blacklisted but never recanted. The trio would not share the same platform with Dmytryk and he was forced to sit in the audience. His onetime comrades excoriated him as ``scum,'' ``Judas'' and ``informer.'' Dmytryk replied: ``I didn't give any names that weren't known by the FBI.'' After the event, Dmytryk said: ``When I die, I know the obits will first read `one of Hollywood's Unfriendly 10,' not `director of `The Caine Mutiny,' `The Young Lions,' `Raintree County' and other films.''' Dmytryk was born Sept. 4, 1908, of Ukrainian immigrant parents. After his mother died, his father remarried and moved to San Francisco, where the neglected and abused boy sold newspapers to help support the family. At 15, he found work as a messenger at Paramount Studios in Hollywood and rose through the ranks to become a film editor. He began directing low-budget movies at neighboring RKO and drew notice for ``Murder My Sweet,'' which started the hardboiled private eye cycle and rescued Dick Powell from musicals, and ``Crossfire,'' an indictment of anti-Semitism long a taboo subject in films. After leaving prison, Dmytryk directed three films in England, then returned to Washington to recant and name names. Only then did he find work in Hollywood. After making a string of well-crafted, low-budget films for Stanley Kramer, the producer assigned him to the 1954 World War II drama, ``The Caine Mutiny.'' The film's success made Dmytryk an in-demand director. Small, tough and muscular, the director became noted for being able to deal with stars in dramas, Westerns or war movies. Among his films were ``The Broken Lance'' (Spencer Tracy), ``Soldier of Fortune'' (Clark Gable), ``The Left Hand of God'' (Humphrey Bogart, Gene Tierney), ``Raintree County'' (Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift) and ``The Young Lions'' (Marlon Brando, Clift, Dean Martin). Others included ``A Walk on the Wild Side'' (Jane Fonda, Barbara Stanwyck), ``The Carpetbaggers'' (George Peppard, Alan Ladd), ``Where Love Has Gone'' (Bette Davis, Susan Hayward), ``Mirage'' (Gregory Peck) and ``Anzio'' (Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan). Dmytryk later taught film at the University of Southern California, wrote manuals on filmmaking and two autobiographies, ``It's a Hell of a Life but Not a Bad Living'' and ``Odd Man Out, A Memoir of the Hollywood Ten.'' In addition to his wife, survivors include a son by a first marriage, Michael, two daughters, Rebecca and Victoria, and three grandchildren. Funeral arrangements were pending. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: (exotica) Nothing special Date: 02 Jul 1999 19:15:25 +0200 As I said earlier, Gothenbourg is now my new hometown.

The panel deliberated for a half hour Thursday before finding Theodore Nobbe innocent of felony animal cruelty. Nobbe had been accused of dunking Woody -- a friend's parrot -- in a drink, possibly a margarita, at a Clearwater restaurant last August. The bird was not injured. Animal rights activists had pressured prosecutors to take the case to trial, saying alcohol is dangerous to a bird and a parrot dunker deserves what he gets. Witnesses testified they did see Nobbe dance with the parrot, or more precisely, with the parrot on his shoulder. But Nobbe's public defender told the court parrot dancing is not a crime. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Ray Stevens, who wrote ``The Streak'' and ``Everything Is Beautiful,'' says he's cancer-free after prostate surgery. The 60-year-old singer had surgery June 15 at Johns Hopkins University Medical Center in Baltimore to remove his prostate. ``I'm very fortunate to have been given a clean bill of health following my surgery,'' he said in a statement today. ``The cancer was confined to the prostate.''

(AP) -- The voice of ``Sleeping Beauty'' is crying foul over a property dispute. Diva Mary Costa and others have filed a lawsuit over the hassle with mobile home magnate Jim Clayton. They accuse him of cajoling residents of the LaRue Condominiums into giving him access to his new home on Fort Loudoun Lake. Costa claims the easement affects her driveway. Clayton's behavior bordered on ``robber baronism,'' Costa's lawyer, Robert Crossley, said in a letter. ``She will not let you get away with it without a fight,'' he wrote of his client, a veteran of the Metropolitan and San Francisco operas who supplied the singing voice for the 1959 Disney movie. Clayton said most of his neighbors have been very accommodating. ``It's just completely without understanding that Mary Costa could not take the same position,'' Clayton said this week. A Knox County judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing Clayton from using the driveway until he can study the case.

(AP) -- Forrest Mars Sr., who created M&Ms candies and built one of the biggest fortunes in America as head of the Mars candy empire, has died. He was 95. The reclusive billionaire, one of the richest men in America, died of natural causes Thursday night in Miami, said Sharon Heffelfinger, a spokeswoman for McLean-based Mars Inc. She said no further information would be released. The candy giant began in 1911 with Frank C. Mars' small business in Tacoma, Wash. In 1940, his son, Forrest, devised a candy modeled after a British confection: a circle of chocolate covered with a crunchy coating. M&Ms -- promoted, as every Baby Boomer knows, as the candy that melts in your mouth, not in your hand -- were created as much out of meteorological necessity as anything. ``In those days, the stores didn't have air conditioning, the cars didn't have air conditioning, the homes didn't have air conditioning,'' then-Mars spokesman Hans Fiuczynski said as the candy turned 50 in 1990. The candy, originally sold in paper tubes, came in brown, yellow, orange, red, green and violet, later replaced by tan. Beginning in 1950, the candies were stamped with the trademark ``M'' to assure customers they were getting the real thing. Peanut M&Ms came out in 1954. The company now has 30,000 employees. Besides M&Ms, its candy brands include Skittles, Milky Way, Dove, Snickers and Three Musketeers. Other brands owned by the Mars companies include Uncle Ben's Rice, the Kal Kan and Pedigree pet food labels, and Combos, Kudos and Twix snack foods. Mars' sons, Forrest Jr. and John, are now co-presidents of the privately held company. In its rankings of richest Americans last fall, Forbes listed Forrest Jr. as 29th richest, Forrest Sr. as 30th richest, John as 31st richest and Jacqueline Mars Vogel, John and Forrest Jr.'s sister, at 33rd. The family matriarch, Forrest Sr.'s wife Audrey, died in 1989. The family became known for its reticence as well as its riches. ``Mars's assets are often underestimated because the company is as loose with information as its McLean, Va., neighbor, the CIA,'' Fortune magazine said in 1988 when it dubbed the family the richest in America at that time. M&M's were packed in World War II GI rations, served at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles and launched with 31 shuttle flights as of 1990. The rock band Van Halen's contract called for a backstage stash of three pounds of M&M's -- with all the brown and tan ones removed. The company had discontinued red M&Ms in 1976 because of the cancer scare over Red Dye No. 2, although the candy never contained the substance. Red M&M's reappeared in 1987. NEW YORK (AP) -- Best-selling author Mario Puzo, creator of the fictional Corleone mob family and winner of two Oscars for his screen adaptations of his book ``The Godfather,'' died today. He was 78. Puzo died, apparently of heart failure, at his home in Bay Shore on Long Island, said Neil Olson, his literary agent. Puzo had just finished work on his latest book, ``Omerta.'' The book is due out in July 2000. Puzo, who wrote seven other novels in addition to ``The Godfather,'' was born in New York, the son of illiterate Italian immigrants. After serving in World War II, he began his writing career -- starting out doing pulp stories for men's magazines. But his literary ambitions were much higher, and he published his first novel, ``The Dark Arena,'' in 1955. Puzo's next book was an autobiographical piece about the Italian immigrant experience. ``The Fortunate Pilgrim,'' was hailed by The New York Times as ``a small classic.'' But it sold fewer than 5,000 copies and Puzo, seeking the fame and fortune he felt he deserved as a writer, set out to write a best seller. He succeeded. ``The Godfather,'' which came out in 1969, covered a different immigrant experience: It focused on the Corleone family, Italians who came to the United States and plunged into the world of organized crime. The book sold more than 21 million copies worldwide, and spawned movies that became American cinematic classics. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro brought Puzo's characters to the screen; Puzo co-wrote the screenplays with director Francis Ford Coppola. ``The Godfather'' (1972) and ``The Godfather Part II'' (1974) both won best-picture Oscars as well as the Oscars for best script. Brando was awarded best actor Oscar for Part I and De Niro got best suporting actor for Part II. Part III (1990) was less successful but did pick up some Oscar nominations, including best picture. ``His talent was obvious,'' said James Caan, who portrayed the ill-fated Sonny Corleone in ``The Godfather.'' ``I had the good fortune of knowing him and working with him on 'The Godfather' and the misfortune of not knowing him better. He was a real nice man who will be deeply missed.'' After the success of ``The Godfather,'' Puzo was often asked if he had ties to organized crime -- and his answer was always no. ``It might have been preferable to be in the Mafia,'' he said in 1996. ``I'm glad I'm a writer, but it's hard work. Nobody likes to work hard.'' He co-wrote several other screenplays, including two Superman movies, as well as ``The Cotton Club'' and ``Christopher Columbus.'' In 1984, he brought out another best-seller, ``The Sicilian.'' Puzo's other books included ``Fool's Diet,'' a 1978 effort on casinos; 1992's ``The Fourth K,'' a futuristic political thriller; and ``The Last Don'' in 1996, a return to his favorite topic, the Mafia. ``The Last Don'' became another runaway best seller and was the basis for a highly rated television miniseries. In an 1996 Associated Press interview, he acknowledged his portrayals, with their emphasis on honor and family, made the Mafia a more romantic place than the thuggery or buffoonery of the real thing. ``They're not my Mafia,'' he said of the real-life mobsters. ``My Mafia is a very romanticized myth.'' He insisted that his research was done in libraries, not amid gangsters. ``Where would I have time to be in the Mafia?'' he asked. ``I starved before the success of `The Godfather.' If I was in the Mafia I would have made enough money so I wouldn't have to write.'' And anyway, he asked, ``Just because a guy's a murderer, he can't have endearing traits?'' Puzo spent the last three years working on ``Omerta,'' a book about a mob family on the brink of legitimacy. ``Omerta'' is the mob code of silence. ``It's vintage Puzo,'' said his editor, Jonathan Karp. ``He was a virtuoso storyteller right up to the end.'' When not writing, Puzo lived what he liked to call the ``bourgeois life,'' splitting time between his homes in Los Angeles and Long Island. He loved tennis, sports and gambling; Puzo loved to visit Las Vegas. Puzo is survived by his children, Anthony, Dorothy, Eugene, Virginia and Joseph; a sister, Evelyn Murphy, a brother, Anthony Cleri; his companion of 20 years, Carol Gino; and nine grandchildren. His wife, Erika, died in 1978. A private family service is planned for Monday, Olson said. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: SV: (exotica) Drasnin in Concert??

Third set was the MCE along with Drasnin (as musician) performing accurate and slammin' renditions of exotica standards which included Mambo #8, One Mint Julip, Peter Gunn, Soul Bossa Nova (Quincy sent the original score!), Tiki (from "Exotica Suite" - Denny sent the score!), an AMAZING "Touch of Evil" medley and two Yma Sumac songs from her "Mambo" lp (Taka Rari and another which slips my mind) performed with a GREAT operatic soloist that out-Yma'd Yma (according to Skip, who has toured her).

I wonder if anyone else here who has album covers or other scanned art on their sites has been able to get permission to use this copyrighted material. The gist of it is...no matter what the notification is, anything you didn't create you don't have rights to reproduce for public consumption. If RCA, Liberty or Capitol (among others) thought it was unwise to let websites show off their property, I would think a lot of us would be in BIG trouble. I could see the reasoning, too: they want to handle the funneling of interest in their products themselves. Still, I can imagine at least one person on this list might have actually got permission. If so, who did you go to? I have resigned myself to the task of pulling all album art off my site until I get permission. The ones I am really concerned with are the ones published by lesser known companies which probably do not exist anymore. There is no one to even write...yet to use the property now would technically be wrong (life of the creator plus 70 years I think). I will just have to wait until after 2030, I suppose... longer if they are still living! Actually, this is all for the best...I can create my own art now. However, it is sad I won't be able to reproduce album art whenever it strikes my fancy.

It also had a leaflet inside with a further 101 Dot albums (circa 1965) illustrated. The label certainly had a big foot in the schmaltz door - Lawrence Welk, The Lennon Sisters, Pat Boone, Mills Bros, umpteen Billy Vaughn albums. There are also offerings from a very suspect-looking banjo player Eddie Peabody, Welk's accordianist Myron Floren and ragtime pianist Johnny Maddox. Exotica on Dot?

Frighteningly, Hughie made at least one album, which I think was a Sing-Along Party at Butlin's, accompanied by the versatile (or at least all-over-the-oche-esque) Mr. Geoff Love. Record Collector recently had a feature on celebrity albums, and there were some crackers in there. But there's plenty more, I'm sure. For example, the truly appalling album by DEREK BATEY (host of "Mr. and Mrs."), the stomach-churning Brut-ality of "Henry Cooper's Knockout Party", and the arse-kicking coolness of Mike "Frank Butcher" Read's "Ugly Duckling" album, which has a FANTASTIC version of "Purple People Eater" on it... -- Pete (with eyes peeled for that Larry Grayson album). # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: Re: SV: (exotica) SCORE of the DAY!

Young guy -- shares a house with two roommates. Carl had said his late dad was an audiophile: Stereo Review subscription, thousands of classical records stored in plastic protective sleeves, the best equipment he could buy on a Methodist minister's pay, a shelf of record guides and books on recording techniques. Of course Carl made a beeline to the 50 or so records stacked upright near our turntable. He picked up a Breakfast at Tiffany's OST. "I love Mancini!" he said, studying the jacket. Then turning the record over in his hands, Carl sniffed it. "Oh vinyl. Nothing smells like vinyl. I grew up with it. It smells like my dad. I can't wait to have my own house so I can start buying vinyl again."

We left on Canada's birthday and were planning to come back on America's. I wish there was some irony there but in comparison to the others I experienced that weekend, that one fades to a footnote. First thing we got there, my friend's wife asked what we were doing there and why my buddy and I were apparently staying with them for three nights. It had all been cleared with her of course. This is not a guy who makes a move without her approval. But still, the ritual had to be observed. Luckily I knew there was no problem. My friend had told me many times "You're the only friend of mine that my wife has ever approved of". I went out on the porch for a smoke. My friend - let's call him Herb - followed me out with a pile of records for my approval. Sure enough, there were the records he'd told me about the last time we'd talked. Two copies of Esquivel's "Infinity in Sound", one pretty beat up but still.. I had this record myself but I was also there shopping for a friend and his used record store. "We could probably get ten bucks even for the beat up one", I thought to myself. Esquivel's "Four Corners". That was for me. Sid Bass "With Bells On". Had it but still, a cool record. An Art Van Damme ten inch. Cool cover. Sandy Nelson "Teenage House Party". Great cover photo. T-Bones "Boss Drag at the Beach". I love the T-Bones but there was a guy came to the store who paid big money for drag-racing covers. "Al Hirt meets The Green Hornet". That one's for me! I'm not a big Al Hirt fan but there the two of them are, on the cover and I don't have any versions of this theme. Let alone the theme for "Run Buddy Run". So far so good. Then we go inside and I start to look at his records. That's when the ironies start to pile up. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) weekend in Cleveland, part two Date: 05 Jul 1999 12:12:12 -0400 My friend Herb is a big big jazz fanatic. He reviews for various papers and has been doing that for years. Used to write for the Village Voice and Downbeat, still does maybe. What he likes to do is make discoveries and connections no one else has made before. Find an old "hot jazz" record where a guy is playing bebop before bebop supposedly began. And he's done it. And been acknowledged for it. For about ten years or so, before I rediscovered lounge, I was a bit of a jazz snob and considered all this stuff - which is now pretty well the centre of my taste - as at best, guilty pleasures and at worst, pure dreck. So I walk into Herb's house and we go check out the basement. There's records and books everywhere, in piles, on shelves, threatening to fall over at any moment and in no discernible order. As I try to get my bearings, I spy a very cool cover. "Music for a Jet Age" or something like that. With a cheesecake babe in an astronaut's outfit. I examine it excitedly and it's not only spacey and cheesy looking. It's Dave Pike! I turn it over looking to see if anyone's playing electric sitar. No. But Herbie Hancock is playing organ. I show it to Herb. "I'll take this one". He shakes his head and takes it back from me. "That's a good jazz record", he informs me. We go back upstairs. First thing I find up there is a pile of Marty Gold records. A few of the regular ones. I'll take them for the store but it's no big deal. Then I see this one I've never seen before "Marty Gold Swings Out West". Looks to be covering country and western tunes but still, I can imagine it's a good one. I put it on the little pile I've started to make. We're not going to go through his house for a couple of days yet but after seeing the basement, I decide that it's good to make a start on the process. Herb picks up the record and examines it. "Don't be so sure about this one". "What?" I exclaim. "It's Marty Gold". And Herb replies with the words that will come to define this weekend. "There might be some jazz solos on there". I shake my head in disgust, figuring I'll get it from him in the end and move on. Then I spy it. A record I've been looking for. Last time I asked a dealer at the record show about it, he told me I was the tenth guy to ask him that day and if he ever had it again, it would be forty five bucks. "The Party". The Mancini soundtrack. I would never pay forty five for it. Or twenty five. Probably not even fifteen. But here it was and the records were a buck at most. I try to contain my delight as I examine it. Herb sees me and shakes his head again. What??? "That's a jazz record", he says. "It's just Mancini", I protest. "A soundtrack. If that's not lounge, I don't know what is". He turns it over. "Look who's on it. Plas Johnson, Jack Sheldon, Ray Brown. It's a jazz record". "They're on half the record made in Los Angeles at the time", I tell him. "So?", he replies. "You're the guy who thinks Dave Brubeck barely qualifies as jazz." "Barely yeah, but it's still jazz". "If you're going to call it jazz, everytime a sometime jazz musician shows up, we're going to have a real hard time finding lounge records". "Maybe I have a spare", is the only consolation he can give me. As it turned out, he did. But that was not typical of the weekend's experience. possibly to be continued... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) weekend in Cleveland :intro Date: 05 Jul 1999 12:12:06 -0400 My friend in Cleveland had been phoning me for at least a year and telling me that Cleveland was rife with lounge. The records were cheap and nobody was buying them. He himself had started to pick them up for me after I had amazed him with the knowledge that these records now had value to some people. His basement was now full of them. He read off a couple of names, things that he'd got when the records were three dollars a bag. Esquivel was one of the names. If I came down, he'd take me to all the stores and sell me all these records languishing in his basement. If I gave him a quarter each for these records, I'd be doing him a favor. "Doing him a favor" echoed in my head as the weekend wore on.

Byron, I'm not sure what scans you had on your site--but I think you may be being overcautious about this. It's true that under the "new" US copyright law (post-1978), protection is automatic and lasts a gazillion years. Same thing for all you people out there in Berne Convention countries. But in the US, a lot of album art would be covered under the "old" laws. some links: http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/ http://www.benedict.com/ http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/circs/circ15a.pdf [27K] First of all, I think before 1978 the cover art would only be protected if the jacket actually had a copyright notice printed on it ("Copyright 1957 RCA," or whatever). A quick check of my records only shows the notice on about half of them. The next thing is that for works published before 1964, the record label would have needed to re-register with the copyright office, to renew protection beyond the original term of 28 years. If not actively renewed, all pre-1964 works would have entered public domain by 1992. For labels that don't even exist any more, I would be willing to gamble that no one ever bothered to do this. (Renewal is automatic for stuff after '64.) As far as "being in big trouble," it seems unlikely to me that anyone would START by sueing you for damages--even if they noticed or cared. More likely their lawyers would send you a cease-and-desist letter first. Also it would be very hard to prove actual damages, since in general we are talking about records where there isn't a reissue available which would be making the copyright-holders any money. Now in a more general sense, there is a question of whether traditional copyright laws will be able to survive in the digital age--where essentially everyone becomes a lawbreaker. . . But even on the more narrow question, I think posting some cover scans is probably legal for many pre-1964 records. yours legalistically, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Will Straw Subject: Re: (exotica) weekend in Cleveland, part two Date: 05 Jul 1999 12:12:28 -0400 Aargh, Nat . . .

Sheesh, who's next? Don't care for his post 80s loversrock (always been more partial to Gregory Isaacs) at all but his seventies output is high quality throughout. Of the handfull of albums I own by him, his debut "No Man is an Island" is a typical Studio One album of that period, lightweight in songs but rich in singing. It boasts a cover of Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head inicidentally. "Super Reggae & Soul Hits" on Trojan from a few years later is excellent, a nice version of Wichita Lineman amongst others. "Cassandra", cut for producer Niney, must be my favorite song of him., it just has an infective bouncy rhythm.

After a suitably Les Baxter-ish opening theme, the camera would dissolve to a cheesy set crowded with huge tikis, potted palms, African spears and other exotic paraphernalia. There, in an enormous wicker chair, sat one Colonel Hawk -- one of the TV station announcers decked out in safari jacket, bush hat, fake goatee and eye patch. In a phony British accent, the Colonel introduced daily chapters from old Republic serials like "Radar Men from the Men", "Panther Girl of the Congo" and "Zombies of the Stratosphere". Between chapters the Colonel related important bits of jungle lore -- like how to save yourself if you're ever trapped in quicksand. For years I roamed the neighborhood hoping to fall into quicksand just so I could put the Colonel's advice to good use! Oh, well. A bit off-topic perhaps, but I never hear "Quiet Village" without thinking of the old Colonel.

We were going to hit every branch of this one Cleveland store. "CD exchange" or something like that with eight or so branches. Actually it was two different stores. The store had once been owned by two brothers but they fell out and took a few branches each. Not that you could tell. They all looked the same, all had the same Dan Fogelberg records. But each branch had slightly different pricing policies. Sometimes they were all a quarter. One guy looked at the Temptations record and demanded fifty cents but let a Curtis Mayfield and a McCoy Tyner go for a quarter. And one guy just let me have the pile of ten records for free, as if he couldn't even bother with the vinyl. It was hot as hell and up until the end, I looked through a lot of crappy records for little payoff. And as I drove, I kept slipping in the snide comments, trying to soften up Herb for the next day at his house. There were a couple more Goodwills, with one memorable one that priced the records individually, asking three and four dollars for records that someone for some reason thought valuable. It's amazing how much outrage you can summon up when someone asks for three dollars for a record. Especially at a Goodwill store. Especially for a record you've seen before. At the last CD exchange branch, I did score a bit. Thirty six records for a quarter each. Herb had promised me that this was always the best branch and he was right. I could have saved a lot of sweat and just gone there but then I wouldn't have driven through "the belly of the beast" as Herb called it, and seen all those rotting steel mills. Which I like too for some reason. That night I slept a bit better. I also had a caesar salad with oil and vinegar dressing. I thought it was a Cleveland thing but the waitress told me that other places in Cleveland made a caesar with actual caesar dressing. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) weekend in cleveland part four Date: 06 Jul 1999 02:48:49 -0400 That first night, trying to sleep in Herb's house, was rather harrowing. First of all, I hate futons. I guess it's possible if you're the first person ever to sleep on a futon that it might mold itself to your body. But if you're the second person, you're shit out of luck. Second of all, I had to pee a lot. But I didn't want to deal with the one washroom upstairs. For lots of reasons. All leading somehow back to Herb's wife. So every half hour I had to go outside. Where I'd have a smoke for the hell of it. And finally, this "room" I was staying in, like all rooms in the house, was full of great records. Great records I wouldn't get to take. Like this other Dave Pike record with some kind of title like "Dave visits the third dimension". A record made for me. A record made to taunt me. I didn't so much fall asleep as eventually pass out. Two hours later it was light and finding Herb outside on the porch, I began my campaign to free up as many of these so-called "jazz records" as possible. But on this day, we were going to hit the record stores of Cleveland. We were also going to try and squeeze in a tour of "urban decay highlights". The guy I came down with was a particular fan of abandoned steel mills and other signs of industrial waste. Cleveland was the perfect place for him. First place we went was some kind of Sally Ann store. Herb warned me there wasn't much there and the records were a bit expensive at a buck. But he had done a little reconnaisance and put away a few for me. I picked up the records Herb had cached away. I remember a Jack Jones but not much else. I also picked up that album of Xavier Cugat Rhumba 78's that I'd once seen at a friend's house and always wanted, mostly for the cover. Four 78's, four bucks. Next up was a Goodwill store. It was supposed to have thousands of records but they'd just changed their policy and only had about a hundred. I only found one that I wanted. But what a one. George Cates "Polynesian Percussion". Never seen it before, only heard about it on this list. And having returned home and played side one, I have to agree with the assessment. A true exotica classic. (Is anybody still reading this? What do I care?

Herb made a face and groaned. "I can't take you there". "What do you mean? You've been telling me about that place for four years". "I'll tell you how to get there. But I can't go with you and wait while you go through all those records". Herb had told me about this place since I first met him. An old guy. An old store. Records piled everywhere. A buck each. The guy has no idea what he has. You just have to look. And the name of the place: "Records". "You start going through that guy's place", Herb complained, "and you'll never get back here". I promised to be back by the afternoon and not to spend too much money. I'd have plenty left to buy Herb's records, I assured him. It was so hot that by the time I got there, I didn't mind that it was locked up. All I cared about was getting a picture of the place. It was better than my wildest fantasy. In the middle of nowhere. A small wooden house with faded green paint. And nailed above the door, a wooden sign with the word "Records" painted on it. I have to get a website just to put a picture of that place up on it. There was a sign on the door with the address of two other locations. They were both around the corner so what the hell. Herb told me that the old guy only came in when he wanted to but maybe he just decided to go to the other places today. First place we looked, he was there. This time a brown wooden shack with a slightly smaller wooden sign. I bought forty records for a buck each and it took me about fifteen minutes to find them. The place was had about eight shelves, floor to ceiling, in a space of about 150 square feet. Plus some stuff on the floor. To find those forty records, I only looked at half of one shelf. It was a bit like going to a store and placing your order in order to fill out your collection. You want Command records? There they are, six feet of them. He didn't have every single one but he had a few that I didn't have and a few I'd never heard of. It was more "lounge" than "exotica" but still it was easy pickings. I should add that I mostly was picking up the Command stuff for my friend's store. I sort of figured I had most of the Commands I wanted. Which is why I'm now kicking myself. I gave my friend both of the "Dimension Three" records I found. We played them first off today. And damnit if that "third speaker in the middle" thing doesn't work. Like a charm. It's one of the best audio tricks I've ever heard. And to add insult to injury, most of the time that middle speaker is playing these absolutely wacked-out Dick Hyman organ parts. I'm going to have to get that record back. The best Command thing I've heard in ages. Anyway, when I got back to Harvey's and told him about what happened, he told me that I'd only scratched the surface. The guy also had a warehouse. Ten times bigger than the store I'd been in. I just hope I get there again before one of you guys on the list goes and cleans it out. parts seven and eight - "Herb's house" - later maybe... But have you ever heard this record by Phil Moore "Fantasy for Girl and Orchestra"? I had to fight for that one. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) Morning arrivals Date: 06 Jul 1999 09:36:19 +0100 What a satisfying morning it is when some nice pieces of vinyl arrive at one's door!

He was 72. He also appeared in movies, on Las Vegas stages and had his own television show in the late 1950s. In 1950, after Frank Sinatra declined to record ``My Heart Cries For You,'' famed band leader Mitch Miller offered it to Mitchell and he not only had a million-seller with that Columbia Records recording, but another million-seller with the B-side of that record, ``The Roving Kind.'' It launched a career that made Mitchell a household name in the '50s. He followed it up with ``My Truly Truly Fair,'' in 1952. He would go on to have 16 million-selling recordings. In 1953, Mitchell starred with Rhonda Fleming in the movie ``Those Redheads From Seattle,'' and a year later starred with Rosemary Clooney in ``Red Garters.'' From 1957-58 Mitchell starred on television in ``The Guy Mitchell Show'' and appeared on all the major TV shows of that era. In 1957, he released the No. 1 recording of ``Singing the Blues,'' and a year later topped the charts again with ``Heartaches by the Number.'' LAS VEGAS, Nev., July 5 (UPI) -- Novelty song hit-maker Guy Mitchell has died at Desert Hot Springs Hospital in Las Vegas. He was 72. Mitchell died of complications from surgery on Thursday. His wife revealed the death today. Between 1950 and 1960, Mitchell had nearly 40 hit records, most of them novelties, folk tunes and country songs. In 1956, Mitchell's cover of Marty Robbins' country hit ``Singing the Blues'' was the No. 1 pop single for 10 weeks. When Frank Sinatra refused to record two songs for Columbia Records in 1949 while the band was waiting in the studio, producer Mitch Miller called in Mitchell as a last-minute substitute. Those two songs were ``My Heart Cries for You'' and ``The Roving Kind,'' which became back-to-back Top 5 hits. LOS ANGELES, July 5 (UPI) -- Motion picture special-effects wizard John Stears has died at UCLA Medical Center. He was 64. The man who created R2-D2, the lovable ``droid'' of ``Star Wars'' fame, and the deadly Aston Martin car used by James Bond in the 1960s fell victim to a stroke on April 28. Friends revealed the death only today, saying they wanted to keep the news quiet until after services were held in May in Pacific Palisades and London. Stears, a Briton, had homes in Pacific Palisades and Beaconsfield, England. He earned an Oscar in 1965 for ``Thunderball,'' which starred Sean Connery and featured an underwater battle scene. He also shared an Academy Award in 1977 for his work on ``Star Wars.'' *Xavier Gelin PARIS (AP) -- Xavier Gelin, a French actor and a mainstay of popular French cinema for more than three decades, died Friday of cancer. He was 53. Gelin was the son of French film stars Daniel Gelin and Daniele Delorme. He played supporting roles in more than 20 films, including Gerard Oury's 1973 comic hit ``The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob'' with Louis de Funes. He also starred in Claude Lelouche's ``Adventure, It's Adventure'' and ``The Devil by the Tail'' by Philippe de Broca. Other hits include Claude Pinoteau's ``The Slap'' and ``The Party-2'' and ``A Simple Story,'' directed by Claude Sautet. *Mark Sandman ROME (AP) -- Mark Sandman, the lead singer of the Boston rock band Morphine, died Saturday of a heart attack at a concert outside Rome. He was 46. Sandman collapsed on stage in front of several thousand spectators at a music festival just before midnight. He was not known to have a heart condition or any other major health problems. Sandman, known for his deep, murky baritone, played bass and wrote all of Morphine's songs. Morphine is a guitar-less trio that includes Dana Colley on saxophone and Billy Conway on drums. The group started out playing loft parties and bars around Boston and Cambridge, Mass., in the early 1990s and built a solid cult following. Morphine released five albums: ``Good,'' ``Cure for Pain,'' ``Yes,'' ``Like Swimming'' and ``B-Side.'' Morphine has gotten heavy airplay on college radio, and its songs have appeared on soundtracks for the films ``Get Shorty,'' ``Beautiful Girls'' and ``Postcards From America,'' as well as on the TV series ``Homicide: Life on the Street.'' Victor A. Bonomo died at the age of 100 on June 26 in Bal Harbour, Florida.

(AP) -- The 20th century hasn't been all sunshine for Jimmie Davis, but as the singer, songwriter and former segregationist governor approaches his 100th birthday, sunshine is what he's best known for. After a lifetime of hit tunes, movies and politics, the simple song ``You Are My Sunshine'' is Davis' best known legacy. ``There are a lot worse things to leave behind,'' says Davis, due to celebrate his 100th birthday Sept. 11. ``I'm glad to claim it as mine.'' Almost 60 years since Davis first recorded the song, people send it to him in music boxes, he hears it on answering machines and he can find it in more than 300 versions and 50 languages. ``Along with 'Happy Birthday,' it's the most valuable music copyright ever,'' says Kevin Fontenot, a doctoral candidate at Tulane University, who is writing a book about Davis. For a man who left so many marks on the century, the century has left relatively little mark on Davis. He uses a walker now but every morning still dons a freshly starched dress shirt and tie. He performs several times a year, works in his home office daily and monitors his royalties. ``I came up expecting to work hard for everything I got, and I never saw anything that persuaded me that wasn't true,'' Davis says. The son of a sharecropper, Davis was the oldest of 11 children raised in a two-room house. By age 7, he was plowing behind the family mule and picking cotton. The hard work and lean living taught values Davis says he still has. ``The first Christmas present I ever got was a dried hog's bladder and a plucked blackbird,'' he says. ``We ate the blackbird and played ball with the bladder, and I thought we were pretty well off.'' Davis began his professional singing career at Louisiana College -- crooning on street corners. After graduation, the money he earned singing, even when added to his teacher's pay, wasn't enough to pay off school debts. For a steady salary, he entered politics -- first as clerk of court in Shreveport, then the state Public Service Commission. By the time he was elected governor in 1943, Davis was already becoming famous in music and films, playing the singing cowboy in a number of horse operas. But politics did not flow as sweetly through Davis' life as his music. Davis served two terms as Louisiana governor -- 1944-48 and 1960-64. In his first term, he set a record for absenteeism, traveling frequently to Hollywood to further his movie career. ``I should have done more movies,'' Davis says with an air of defiance. ``I turned down a chance to make millions to take a job that paid $1,000 a month.'' In 1959, Davis ran on a ``Peace and Harmony'' platform but was unable to deliver either in those turbulent times. ``I am unqualifiedly in favor of segregation,'' Davis wrote in a campaign pamphlet. ``The best way to maintain our historic way of life, as well as harmonious relations between the races, is to provide separate and equal facilities.'' As governor, Davis called five straight special legislative sessions to resist federal desegregation orders and, when the courts prevailed, set up grants to aid private school pupils. His views reflected those of most whites at the time, says historian Michael Kurtz, dean of the graduate school at Southeastern Louisiana: ``On the whole, he was a middle-of-the-road individual who supported keeping the status quo. He didn't want to rock the boat.'' But when things changed, Kurtz adds, so did Davis. Under Davis, Louisiana strengthened its schools, instituted teacher pensions, invested idle state funds and took early environmental action. He made a halfhearted bid for a third term in 1971. One of 19 candidates, he lost. ``It was the best thing that ever happened to me,'' Davis insists. ``It was after that I got to do what I really wanted -- sing, perform, live my life.'' Davis is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Hall of Fame. He started off singing blues. Early on, he worked with two black sidemen. In the 1930s, he had an integrated band, practically unheard of then. ``He was really ahead of his time in appreciating the blues,'' Fontenot says. ``And when you listen to those records, he's one of the blackest-sounding white men I've ever heard.'' But it was the sad, nostalgic songs, first called hillbilly, later country-western, that Davis became known for. His rich voice spun out ballads about lost love, lost times and unforgotten dreams. By 1929 Davis was recording for RCA Victor and singing at any juke joint that would pay. He says his parents ``worried because I wasn't making steady money. I had a song I really liked, and I promised them that if it didn't make it, I'd give it up.'' ``Nobody's Darling But Mine'' was his first big hit. Since then, by his own count, Davis has written better than 400 tunes and recorded more than 60 albums. Davis first recorded ``You Are My Sunshine'' in 1931 but was so unhappy with the studio band that he refused to release it. Eight years passed before he recorded it again. It became a smash hit that eventually sold millions. Recorded by dozens of artists from Bing Crosby to Gene Autry, ``You Are My Sunshine'' was a favorite of King George VI. It was played on Armed Forces Radio during World War II, and GIs landing in Japan found it already a favorite there. Davis says he has recorded ``Sunshine'' dozens of times, just last year with a children's choir. Others have tried to lay claim to the song. There's no question he wrote the lyrics, but Fontenot says there's some debate whether he was solely responsible for the tune. ``That's still the million-dollar question,'' Fontenot says. ``The tune may have had its roots in traditional folk songs, but there's no question now that it's Jimmie Davis' song. He owns the copyright.'' HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Singer Pat Boone said he loves appearing at Fourth of July parades because it gives him a chance to sing ``Happy Birthday'' to the United States. ``I feel like a human roman candle or firecracker,'' the 65-year-old performer said Sunday, waving the tassle-covered sleeves of his red, white and blue jumpsuit as he broke into song: ``Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, dear America. We thank God for you!'' Boone was the grand marshal at the 95th annual Huntington Beach parade, one of the oldest Independence Day celebrations in Southern California. The entertainer said his new video album ``American Glory'' will feature only patriotic songs because be believes American melodies promote respect for the country and good behavior. ``We need something like this in every American home,'' he said. ``If we don't sing those songs, and if our kids don't learn them, we're going to lose them all.'' # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peter Carlfors Subject: Re: (exotica) weekend in cleveland part six (of eight?)

Gauranteed to brighten up those cloudy days! This 74 minute long cd is commercial jingles, many danceable on the Ondioline with a wild and zany percusssive background. There are 99 tracks and one track contains an added treat, the Sitar. The first 33 tracks are the 2 minute plus commercial jingles the next 66 are samples used in these jingles with some great little 10 second snippets of melodies. The 33 2 minute moogy pop commercial jingles are really great pop melodies ala "The Commercials" on TV Toons. This is a wild ride of tremendous little jingles that would make perfect little breaks beween songs on your next moog compilation mini disc. Does any listee know about the Kosinus label? It looks like it has 59 other compilation albums with titles like "Jungle Jazz" and "Summer Colors" After listening to Good Moog and Happyland I'm ready for more. I got this cd reasonably priced from the amazing and wonderful Jack Diamond.

Both cds feature enough jazz ("Get a Move On") and thrift store lounge samples ("Blackpool Roll"), not forgetting sonic whimsy ("Ambiosound") to satisfy anyone who is interested in the the modern version of the music that is discussed on this list. So far my favourite track is "Shanty Town" which has to be the first sea shanty to feature big beats. Oh yeah, "Keep it Unreal" contains "Fish" which in a fair world, would be a massive hit.

You'd probably appreciate the story a bit more if you'd ever worked in the transport department on a film but basically... Scott Baio was acting in this film I was working on as a driver. You've never seen it or heard of it but just for accuracy, it was a TV movie called "The Trouble with Alex". Though Scott at this point was in his early twenties, he still travelled with his father Mario who was also supposedly his manager. Mario had not exactly been born to show business. Normally that might have been refreshing but not in this case. He had quit his construction business to devote himself full time to Scott's career but there's a reason managers seldom stay with a star all through a production. Mario had absolutely nothing to do all day long and so he became overly concerned with small details pertaining to his personal comfort. One of those details was his luncheon meat and the importance of keeping it at the proper temperature. Normally we would tie his motorhome into the main power supply and that would keep the motorhome fridge humming along all day, thus keeping his meat at the proper temperature. On this particular day however, the main generator was too far away so we had to use the motorhome generator. But the motorhome generator made a lot of noise and the soundman needed it shut off when we did the take. So my job was to turn off the motorhome generator when they were about to shoot and then turn it back on when they called "cut". (I'm sure you've all heard the joke with the punchline "What? And give up show business?") Now of course, with this kind of on/off routine, the luncheon meat was sure to suffer anyway but still we had to maintain the illusion for Mario that we were doing all we could to preserve his meat. So we do the last take and I turn the generator off. Then they call a wrap on that location and we begin the routines of moving to the next location. In a few minutes I'll be getting in the motorhome and driving it to the next location so I figure there's no reason to turn the generator back on. You don't drive with the generator on because the engine will generate the power at that point. And when we get to the next location, I'll tie the motorhome in with the main "gennie". But to my surprise, instead of getting in the car with his son and the driver and moving to the next location, Mario gets a sudden craving for one last slice of salami and returns to the motorhome where he is absolutely mortified to find that the generator isn't on. Outraged, he asks my boss for an explanation. And my spineless boss sputters an apology, which causes me to look askance. Mario catches my look and asks me directly "You don't agree with that, do you?" And I answer him honestly, basically giving him the above explanation and perhaps adding that I frankly had expected him to wait a bit before having another slice of luncheon meat. So he asks the producers to fire me. And they refuse, knowing, I suppose that they hadn't a leg to stand on. So a compromise is reached. I cannot come within a hundred feet - or yards - of either Mario or his star son for the duration of the production. What a hellish sacrifice that was but somehow I struggled through it. You asked.

It's not "ethnic" enough. Actually a movie of Herb's life has been optioned and if it's made, he'll be played either by Rob Schneider or my personal choice Dan Castellanata (or however you spell it.) Though I bare little physical resemblance to him, I have a notion that in the movie I would be played either by Gilbert Gottfried or if I'm lucky, Ben Stiller. In that version of the movie, Herb would probably be played by Jerry Lewis. And though Mary Steenburgen could do a fine job playing his wife, I would personally like to see Jerry Lewis and Sandra Bernhard team up again and Sandra could do this role in her sleep. And as for "Larry", the owner of "Records", I would choose Richard Farnsworth but Anthony Hopkins is a fine choice as long as you can get him to underact for a change.

Maybe this can be a prequel to the Cleveland saga -- Episode One, perhaps? Maybe Industrial Light and Magic can be persuaded to animate the luncheon meat. And to steer the topic away to something completely different: I'm listening right now to Arthur Lyman's "Taboo" album, and I was wondering whether anyone knew the background to "Dahil Sayo," the 11th track. (He does a very groovy Perez Prado-like mambo rhythm in the instrumental bridge.) It's credited as "Trad." but I've known it all my life as a ballad from the Philippines, complete with Tagalog lyrics. (Surprisingly, the Skatalites have a version of the song too.) In fact, Imelda Marcos would be persuaded to sing it -- I should say "sing" -- without much coaxing at every political rally. Can anyone help out?

In the course of making my film, I was in a lot of houses and apartments with a lot of records. Thirty thousand, fifty thousand, even a half a million once. I've been in the basement rec rooms with 78's lined up like a bunch of files and in dank basements with records seeping out of the cracks in the concrete. But all I ever did was point a camera at them. Until that day in Herb's basement, I'd never actually gone through a "collection" like that. Record by record. Piles everywhere. Sitting precariously on crumpling cartons. Under piles of books. Packed tightly onto sagging old metal shelves so that you can't slide them back after you've managed to slide them out. Piles to trip over. Piles you have to step over to get to other piles. Shelves so close together that you can't stand back far enough to pull the record out. Bare bulbs behind you so that your own shadow prevents you from reading the cover. Part of the time I got Herb to come down to the basementwith me. I needed help. There was no way I could go through all those records myself. Also, I didn't want to bring records upstairs with me that I had no chance of getting. I wanted Herb there so I could ask him about the odd one. I also wanted Herb there because I wanted the company. And I wanted Herb there because it was fucking scarey in that basement. I thought I'd seen a mouse the last time I was down there. When I told Herb about it, he practically tore his hair out. "That's all I need", he whined. He said that a lot. When I told him that I'd told his foster daughter - who was sure to tell his wife - he begged me to tell him that I was kidding. I knew it was a mistake to tell her but unfortunately I couldn't tell Herb that I was kidding. "No, I told her". There's a word in Yiddish "geshrei" that goes some way toward describing Herb's reaction to learning that I'd inadvertently informed his wife about the mouse sighting. Now his wife would have yet another reason to get on his case. She was already afraid to go down to the basement to do the laundry. But if she heard there was a mouse... On top of that, she would undoubtedly fear that the mouse - or mice - was eating the record jackets. As much as she hated all those records all over her house, at least she could comfort herself with the thought that they were worth something. But if the mouse started eating the jackets... "Mice don't eat record jackets!" Herb insisted. "I know that", I told him. Though I didn't know it for a fact. I just wanted to bring his blood pressure down a bit. "But she doesn't know it", he cried. He begged me to tell his wife that I was only kidding. I compromised and told him that if I ever ran into his wife again, I would tell her that I'd mistaken one of the cats for a mouse. I wasn't sure I would see her again. She sort of kept out of my way and only emerged when I would leave, at which point she would begin to yell at Herb until supposedly the moment I returned, when she would disappear again. Anyway, so we're down in the basement, going through the records and Herb is actually sort of enjoying it because he's seeing all kinds of records that he didn't remember having. And I'm asking him about this one and that one. He keeps promising me that he put away this cache of loungey things for me but all I'm finding is jazz. I don't ask him about the straight jazz ones - or at least straight jazz as I define it - but anything that seems to sort of fall in the middle, I ask about. I get nowhere with the female torch singers so I stop asking about them. I find lots of Latin stuff like Machito, Chaino and lots of Tito Puente. Even when I ask about that stuff, Herb often says no. Until I sort of lose my temper and tell him that at this rate, I'll only be leaving with the records he first brought out to the porch. From that point on, he occasionally catches himself about to say no and shrugs "Bring it up. We'll see". Not too encouraging. But I figure the more I bring up, the more I'll get. I remember bringing up a lot of Lalo Schifrin and a lot of Pete Rugolo. And a lot of organ jazz. Shirley Scott. Lots of Jack McDuff. Herbie Mann. Cal Tjader. A lot of Johnny Lytle and I love Johnny Lytle. (And so would you if you haven't heard him. Vibes and organ. Yum.) I'm trying to forget all I brought up because, not to give the story away but.. I didn't get that much of it. It's not that Charles Lloyd and Cal Tjader and organ jazz AREN'T jazz exactly. It's just that there's more of a connection between them and "lounge" and I figured that as long as I stayed close to lounge, I would eventually score. I also found A LOT of doubles. Even if it was straight jazz, I would bring up the doubles. And I had to bring up both copies - or as many as he had - so that he could decide which one to give me and which one to keep. I admired this Sonny Stitt record. He was playing "variphone" - a sort of electronic sax - but I have records where he plays that and I like them. But I knew not to even ask Herb about it. Five minutes later, I found another copy. "Herb, what about this Sonny Stitt. I just saw another copy". "Where?" "Back in that corner room". That room had been hell. I wasn't going back there, even for Sonny. "On the shelves?" "No, on a pile near the door". He went and looked. He couldn't find it. "I have to see it", he told me. Not that he wouldn't believe me exactly. He just knew himself and if he didn't see it with his own two eyes, the thought that the spare copy didn't actually exist would haunt him. Finally I told him to forget it. And he went upstairs. Five minutes later, I found a third copy! But I went back to the shelf where I had found the second one and I couldn't find it. And so it went. I was down there five hours. Pulled out a few thousand records off the shelves. Some of the rarest and most beautiful jazz records I've ever seen. Languishing in dark corners, never to be played again, I guarantee you. But if Herb ever gets a thought and he needs a record to prove his point, he needs to know that the record is down there somewhere. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) weekend in cleveland part eight Date: 07 Jul 1999 03:53:15 -0400 I probably lugged at least three hundred records upstairs. And then the haggling began. But before we could haggle, I separated the records into piles. One pile for all the doubles. One for all the "true lounge" as I saw it. The records I was pretty sure I would get. The records with, in my opinion, little connection to "jazz". A pile for all the groovy "fake jazz" records, organ records, vibe records, Latin stuff. And a pile for the stuff I doubted I would get. I think I also made a pile for the stuff that was neither lounge nor jazz. A reissue of the first Fugs record. (Got that one.) A couple of Impressions records. (Got those too. I'm a huge Curtis Mayfield fan, as you'll find out if you ever see my film.) And there were five records that I managed to hide in "my room", off the livingroom where the haggling took place. These were the records I had to get, the records I would insist on taking if it came to it. Once we started going through the records, I started breaking down the records into subpiles according to how much I was willing to pay him. A quarter, fifty cents, a dollar and "more than a dollar". And I had it all worked out. I'd pay a quarter for a "minor" lounge record or a good one, not in great shape. Fifty cents for a good lounge record or a jazz record not in good shape. A minor lounge record would be something by Frances Bay or Hugo Winterhalter or most of the Marty Golds or this Paul Weston one - "Music for Dreaming" - that I was only buying for the cover. A good one would be a Puente or a Prado or this one by my (and Jane's) hero Michel Legrand, "Michel Legrand In Rio", which I actually would have passed up until Herb told me the secret about that record. John Coltrane plays on it. Don't ask me how Herb knows but if he says so, it's true. And I was only getting this one because of course, Herb had three copies. (If you don't have it, it's got a great version of "Caravan" but I can't hear Coltrane's sound on it.) I didn't only put jazzy stuff in the dollar pile. I also put the Esquivels that were in good shape there. (The more beaten one was in the fifty cent pile. And in those cases, we agreed actually.) I also put the Pete Rugolo in the dollar pile. Not that I thought he belonged there but there was this beautiful one with some title including "Percussion" and I figured I had to compromise in order to get it. (I didn't get it anyway.) Almost right away, Herb took a couple of the quarter records and threw them on the reject pile. "I can get fifty cents for these", he said. And I felt like walking away at that point. That really pissed me off and later it would come to haunt me. But I kept going. There was all the work I'd done in the basement. There was my friend and his record store back in Toronto. And there was "The Party" which had become some sort of holy grail for me, even though I have the best cuts on a Mancini LP compilation. All I can say is that the reject pile was growing faster than my pile. There were a lot of records I refused to pay more than a quarter for that if I saw them tomorrow, I might pay a dollar. But I had come down there on the express understanding that I would get some records for a quarter. It was a direct quote from Herb. And I had also come down on the implication that I was doing him a favour. He had begged me to come down there for months. Help clear some of the records out of his house. Get his wife off his back... which I did but not in the way I expected. At one point, I went outside for a smoke and ended up sharing the porch with his wife who was shovelling down her dinner because she had to leave any second. I asked her if I could take her and the kid - who I'd barely seen either - for breakfast the next day before we left. No, she had to take the kid somewhere early. So I thanked her for her hospitality and with that, she launched into a lengthy discussion of Herb's failings. I defended him as much as I could, trying to highlight the humour in her stories. She actually laughed once. Later I found out that when she went back inside, she told Herb that I had said some nice things about him and then she smiled at him. "First time she did that in months", he told me later. And as thanks, he gave me some record he said he would have otherwise kept. The negotiations took about two hours. I got a lot of records but got rejected on a whole bunch more. When we were finished, I remembered the five records in my room and brought them out. "I have to get these five. After all the rejections, you've got to let me have these". Herb was unmoved as he examined them. "Dylan Jazz". Right up my alley. Probably bad, inappropriate jazz-influenced covers of Dylan tunes. And the band weren't even jazz musicians. The guitarist was Glen Campbell. Herb throws it on the reject pile. "It's not even jazz," I protest. Herb shrugs. "You really want a record with a cover of Like a Rolling Stone???" "It's not what they cover, " Herb parries, "It's how they play it". (Which is true but still...) "Did you see who's playing guitar? Glen Campbell" "That's why I want it", he retorts. (Someday Herb'll do a piece for the Boston Globe on the "free jazz" roots of Glen Campbell.) Must have number two: Jack Costanzo "Naked City" (The bongo king doing crime jazz classics? To die for.) Jack hits the reject pile. No explanation. Must have's three and four. Both by Pete Rugolo. One of them called something like "Music for Hi Fi Bugs" with pictures of bugs on the cover. Rejected. Some guy Herb likes is on it. Next Rugolo is the must-have to end must-have's. "Music out of Space" or something to that effect with this great picture of Pete in a space helmet. This one Herb takes to the turntable, looking for jazz solos to show me why he needs to keep it. When he can't find any solos, he puts it on the reject pile anyway. "I like Pete Rugolo", he tells me. "He did a lot of great arranging for Stan Kenton". I'm dying at this point. Must have number five. "Fantasy for Girl and Orchestra". I don't really know who Phil Moore was but I've heard his name on this list in the context of some classic exotica record. Never seen anything by him before. And this one I would want for the cover alone. First Herb tells me there might be some jazz content on it but when he plays it, he can't find any. The few moments I hear - the narration by "the girl" for instance - make me want it even more. Then he tells me that it's a very rare record and that he can't let it go for a buck. I'd already paid him three whole dollars for his spare copy of Alice Coltrane "With Strings" and two dollars for a couple of records so in desperation, I offered him three dollars for the girl and her fantasy. "I could get at least seven". No fucking way I was going to pay seven even if the record was worth a hundred. So that was that. Zero out of five on my must-have's. We added it up. A hundred records for fifty cents. Forty for a quarter. And forty for a dollar or more. One hundred and eighty records for one hundred and eight American dollars. epilogue to follow... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nicola Battista Subject: (exotica) Phase 4-- are they worth it??

I don't understand why you've got the hump about Herb though Nat. 180 records for $108 seems a very good deal, especially if they're picked out of someone's collection. And can you blame Herb for not selling a Dave Pike record at that price?

Don't have a clue how it happened. So this will not be as good as it could have been. That night my travelling buddy wanted to hear some live music. I just wanted to bitterly complain about my experience with Herb but I figured I owed him for putting up with the two of us and our day long haggle. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. For one thing, it was the first bar we went to in Cleveland that didn't feel like the college football team and their cheerleader girlfriends celebrating after the big game. But I was in a lousy, bitter mood. That moment where Herb threw a record on the reject pile because I was only offering a quarter and somewhere there was someone who someday would give him fifty cents for it. That kept running through my head and everytime it did, I would whine some complaint at my buddy. Herb kept telling me all through the ordeal that I shouldn't complain. "You're getting a lot of bargains here", he told me. And that was true, I guess. "But I didn't drive down here and stay in that house with him and his wife in order to get a bargain on some records. I didn't go through that basement for five hours so I could get some bargains. Sure I hoped that would happen and sure, I was determined to get the best price I could. But that wasn't why I came down here. I came down because I thought I was doing him a favor. I came down because for the last year he's been phoning and begging me to come down and take some records off his hands. I wouldn't have come here just to get a few bargains on records". At some point Herb had decided to sell me a Chaino record. "Jungle Echoes". Only after determining that it had no jazz solos. It was some kind of compromise after rejecting a Machito record I wanted. But he wanted a buck for it. Not the normal fifty cents I was paying for non-jazz. "I sold one of these to another guy from Toronto and I made him pay three bucks", Herb informed me as if to emphasize the bargain he was giving me. "What do I care what he charged that guy", I said to my buddy later that night. Indignantly. "What do I care what he charges some client of a dealer friend of his? There's no comparison between me and that guy!" "Sure I got some good records", I continued. "Sure I got some bargains. But I came down here to take a LOT of records out of his house and he turned me down on more than half of them. Half the records he rejected are going to go back down in the basement and never be seen or heard again." And so it went. All night long with my buddy and all night by myself as I lay on that frigging futon for one last night. I slept a couple of hours and awoke with a headache. Too much teeth gnashing I guess. But apparently I wasn't the only one who had thoughts running through his head all night for just as I rolled out of bed, Herb entered "my room". "I've got a few surprises for you", he said and then quickly added. "Not big surprises mind you. But I think you're going to be happy." He felt a little guilty and wanted to make up for things. The only surprise I remember was that Marty Gold "Swings out west" record which I had found my first night there. Somehow or other, that record had disappeared and wasn't around two days later when we got down to the actual purchasing. I didn't think it was a coincidence but Herb assured me he had just temporarily misplaced it. Oh and he decided he was going to "let" me purchase the Phil Moore record. And as he came up with those few modest surprises, we shared our respective versions of the previous day. What it came down to was this. Herb did this all the time. He'd been doing it for years. People came to his house and bought records. So there was this record-haggling "mode" that he just automatically went into, friend or foe. He'd tried to be as friendly as he could be but when he was in the mode, he was in the mode. Herb had assumed the same thing about me. He had assumed that I did stuff like this all the time. But I had never done it before. Sure I'd been around records a lot and done a bit of haggling at used record stores, on both sides of the counter recently. And maybe I had some kind of predisposition to haggling, not the supposedly genetic kind but the kind that comes from being a sarcastic, argumentative bastard. But even if I had done it before, I wasn't expecting to do it that weekend. Herb had figured he was dealing with a veteran like himself and met force with force. But even while I was trying to get records from him as cheap as I could, I hadn't come down there to engage in a battle OR a game. When I felt him go into battle mode, I had tried to respond in kind. But I didn't enjoy it. Not like he did. All we could do at that point was agree to disagree. "So maybe you will come back someday after all?", he asked me. "Maybe. If you need someone to run interference with your wife". "All you did was buy me fifteen minutes of peace. At the most", he told me with a pained expression. More pained than usual. "As soon as she comes back and sees you're gone, she'll make up for it". We went for breakfast. Herb didn't eat but he came to keep us company. And we talked about the previous day some more. I still wasn't satisfied. "Those Rugolo records. I told you I really wanted them. You told me they have some tenuous connection to jazz. Sure, maybe they do. But you and I both know that with all those great jazz records all over your house, you will never ever play those records again. Guaranteed!" Herb gave in a bit and nodded. "What can I say? So I'm a bit compulsive". And at that I smiled and gave up. But Herb wasn't finished. Back at the house, as my buddy and I gathered our belongings, Herb started GIVING me records. In return, I agreed to look for a few things he was looking for but I would have done that anyway. Herb GAVE me: An Art Van Damme ten inch with a cool Martini-depicting cover. A Nelson Riddle record that I always wanted for the cover. "Sea of Dreams" then it got a lot better. He gave me a record we had discussed the previous day but which he wanted big money for. Even though he had a spare. He believed it was too big a deal to give away for a buck or even three. He gave me "Eleven Against the Ice", a TV soundtrack by my sorta hero Kenyon Hopkins. Still haven't played it but I like having it. Can't imagine that an iceberg picture will have a crime jazz soundtrack but you never know. I was about to tell him that he had made me happy with that one but then he gave me another one. Something I hadn't even seen the previous day, let alone asked for. Quincy Jones' soundtrack for "The Hot Rock". Can always use another Quincy soundtrack. "Are you happy now?" he asked. "More than happy", I told him. But then I spied two copies of a record, leaning near him. "Were you going to give me one of those too?", I asked him. And he sheepishly admitted that he had been. So he examined them to see which was the copy in worse shape and then gave me Nino Rota's soundtrack to "La Dolce Vita". I told him he could stop with that one and so he did, with some relief. Who knows what else he was prepared to give me but at that point I wanted to hit the road more than get another record. And that's what we did. So what else did I get besides another lesson in the murky world of record collecting? Well in a few cases, it's hard to remember whether I got the record from Herb or from the stores but I'll give the highlights I can say for sure. Those Esquivels I told you about, one of which I'll keep and the rest'll go to my friend's store. "The Party". (And I think I'm about to get that Bill Plummer solo LP) A few Cal Tjader's including "Soul Burst". An early Townes Van Zandt. Don't know what that was doing there but I'm a huge Townes fan. It's sort of folk-rock for those who are unfamiliar. Van Dyke Parks "Discovering America" which I'm actually letting my friend sell. And I'm pretty sure I have a copy somewhere. I think we can get forty bucks for it but God knows why. A couple of Prado's and Puente's. Reissue of the first Fugs record. A bunch of Shirley Scott, Jack McDuff and Johnny Lytle, though many are probably too beat for a normal person. (But not for an "acid jazz" DJ somewhere.) The soundtrack for "The Subterraneans". Looks like a potential crime jazz thing. Ron Goodwin's "Music for an Arabian night". (Could be an exotica classic to go along with the George Cates and Martin Denny records I got elsewhere.) That "Al hirt meets the Green Hornet" which I told you about before. A stereo copy - in great shape - of the "I want to live" soundtrack to replace my somewhat beat mono copy. (I've always wanted to know. Among "serious" collectors of soundtracks or lounge/exotica, which is more valued? The stereo or the mono?) An almost complete set of Howard Roberts groovy sixties organ quartet records, some of which may soon be winging their way to England for that minor co-star of mine in Hugh's movie version of this past weekend. A couple of Herbie Mann's including "London Underground" where he plays the Stones tune "Bitch" along with Mick Taylor and Aynsley Dunbar. I also learned some lessons but I don't think I have the energy right now to figure out what they were. And right now, I'm sick of records, which can't be a bad thing. And we on the exotica list got our first serialized novella whether we wanted it or not.

(AP) -- Bob Lucas, a jazz pianist who played with greats such as Dave Brubeck and Dinah Shore, died Sunday of leukemia, two weeks after his final performance, with Eddie Fisher. He was 60. Two weeks ago, a frail Lucas, battling a 102-degree fever, accompanied Fisher in a performance in San Francisco that was filmed by Dateline NBC for a piece on Fisher's attempted comeback. Lucas discovered jazz when his father invited Louis Armstrong to stay at the family hotel after other hotels refused to rent a room to the black musician. Lucas passed up a scholarship at the New York Light Opera Company for life as a jazz musician. He came to California in 1968, playing at clubs in the San Francisco area. In the late 1970s he took over the foundering Russian River Jazz Festival and brought it back to life in a few years. Lucas was well-known for his charity work, playing at events such as AIDS and cancer benefits, dropping by nursing homes or anywhere he could gather an audience. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Thinkmatic@aol.com Subject: (exotica) The "Sleepwalking/Sensational" Guitars of Dan & Dale?

Originally considered to be a piece of furniture, and featuned in movies from the 1940s with women playing songs like "Tico Tico" on them, they gained popularity in the late 60s and 70s as a rock and roll instrument. Rocker organists like Kieth Emerson of The Nice and later of Emerson, Lake and Palmer and John Lord of Deep Purple redefined the concer rock sound with overdriven and distorted screaming Hammond B-3 organs. b) Lowery organs were the competition to Hammond organ starting in the 1950s. Lowery gained popularity with what is now called "Lounge" music with players like Lenny Dee. Also originally more furniture-like, Lowery branched out to include concert sized models for small professional venues. Many of these models were purchased for taverns and Elks clubs, where many still sit today. The later model Lowrey organs are geared toward home use. c) Wurlitzer organs were the answer to churches and other large venues thatr could not afford pipe organs. Wurlitzer started their keyboard business around the turn of the century with "Nickelodeons"; player pianos with built in drums and violins that were coin operated. They began to include small pipes in some of these machines, then they developed an electric organ. This is the sound most familiar to baseball fans too... d) any other notable organs include the Farfisa, a small portable and inexpensive solution for the small combo, it is the epitome of the 1960's garage and surf sound. The Vox Continental, which shares a similar niche, it was used extensively by Ray Manzarek of The Doors. And not necessarily an organ, but somewhere in between a piano and a synthesizer was the Mellotron. Used extensively by The Moody Blues on their In Search of the Lost Chord and Days of Future Passed albums, it used individual recordings of orchestras, strings of brass placed on magnetic tape under each key. When the key was depressed, a tape transport was engaged and the recording played for as long as 8 seconds.

I promise I will say something interesting about an actual record album again, someday. . . But the topic of "how long does a stylus last, anyway?" had come up before on the list--so I wanted to tell the story of something pretty amazing that I found out today. I have a Shure cartridge that I know for a fact got its last replacement stylus 13 years ago. Since about 1993 I've been feeding it a steady diet of thrift-store records, whose condition has been all over the map--a lot of them have been wrecked and filthy. Soundwise, I find that certain records seem a little fuzzy to me--others are fine--and I've been a little confused about how much was just the condition of the vinyl, or whether the stylus might be starting to be a problem. So I went over to the local tweako hifi place (the last place in town that is still into turntables), and asked them to take a look at it. I expected them to tell me it was totally shot, and that I'd be walking out of there with a new cartridge. (You can't get replacement stylii for this model any more, the folks at http://www.needledoctor.com claim.) But I was curious if mine was so worn that I was actually damaging records. Maybe I could still use it as a "beater" cartridge to screen incoming LPs? Well, they stuck it under the stereo microscope--and damned if that stylus wasn't still OK! The guy said, "this has about 25% of its wear left." If it was a tire, I could still drive to California and back on it. Frankly, when I looked through the scope I could barely see the wear he was talking about. Thirteen years! Playing the very records that Moritz was so horrified to learn were covered in crunchy mineral residues from our tap water. I guess diamond really is hard stuff. . . Now this is not to say that you should all go out and play your LPs with destroyed needles. . . after all this is a good cartridge that only tracks at about 1.3 grams--so the stylus/groove wear is at the low end of the spectrum.

All I knew about Borrah was that his band was the training ground for Richard Hayman, all three Harmonicats, Leo Diamond and probably some other guys too. But the name "Harmonica Rascals" just gave me this idea it was probably some dopey novelty act. So I only picked up this record out of a sense of historical completeness. Actually it turns out they are a lot better than I expected (at least in this incarnation--they go back in one form or another to 1926). Some of the songs are at the sappier end of things, but there are at least 4 tracks that get the thumbs-up from me. That's more than I can say for the typical Harmonicats album. They do an ominous cover of "What Is This Thing Called Love," and a great, jumped-up version of Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C Sharp Minor."

I believe the store I got the most at was called "River Records". Just make sure you don't ask the guy about Sun 78's. Unless you have all day and you like looking at photographs of record labels. The place sort of reminded me of "Records" in Cleveland except that the guy looks in the damn book everytime you bring up a record that hasn't been priced yet. But there was A LOT of good stuff there. Another good place was called, I think, "Shangri-La". That's the name of a cool "alternative rock" label down there. But they also have this new/used record store with a fair bit of exotica vinyl, at least when I was there. I can't remember if the store has the same name as the label but if you can't find the store, phone the label. While you're there, I highly recommend visiting Furry Lewis's grave. You can find out about a lot of this stuff if you pick up this alternative guide to Memphis, which I think was called something like "the White Trash Guide to Memphis" You can get it at this store on Beale Street.

Sometimes you don't know what you're missing until you hear it. Here's how I solve the when to change your needle question. I already have a bunch of spare stylus that fit my cartridge, which I bought about 6 years ago, convinced that I'd never be able to buy these again. So, first of all I'd recommend getting the extra needle now, just to have it. Occasionally I'll be listening to a record and think, "man, this record sounds like crap" , this being a comment on the surface noise, though I've been known to say this about content perhaps more frequently. In any event, if it's really bugging me I'll take the 30 seconds it takes to replace the needle. If I don't notice any difference, which is usually the case, I'll put the old needle back on. If the sound is appreciably better I'll know that it was then time to change the needle. Every one has their own standard of listening to or through surface noise. This being the case it only make sense that folks will have varying ideas on "when to change". Who needs a microscope when you've got ears! I assume most of us vinyl bargain hunters have a higher tolerance and hence should not have to change needles often if ever. For what it's worth .... I worked in a record store back when we actually sold new vinyl as the primary medium and aside from the occasional obvious defect that caused people to return their records there was still a handful of neurotic record geeks that regularly returned records with the most imperceptible tick or blemish. For the most part we simply took the record back rather that cause a stir. One time, however, this one particular customer came in with a record which we put on the store system to listen to the tick that was the cause of the customers return. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the record. "Wait, right there, did you hear that?" the customer spoke up. I backed up and played that section again. There was a faint tick, once, buried in the mix the music. Incredulous and in a bad mood to begin with, I told the customer quite bluntly. "You're not even listening to the music, your playing this waiting to see if you'll be able to hear if there is any thing wrong. If you were listening to the actual music you would never have noticed this." I'll spare you (and myself) an explanation of the consequences of this interchange. Suffice to say that since then this has become my credo in listening to records.

(Though as was pointed out, the company did also branch out into home organs, electric pianos, etc.) I have to confess that one of my earliest "Incredibly Strange" records was a totally funereal Jesse Crawford pipe organ LP--but in later years I've tended to avoid any pipe organ LPs except for George Wright's. (As someone on the list once wisely pointed out, you *really* want to avoid the ones with the word "reverie" in the title.) Hammond was the company that created a particularly rich and warm electric organ sound through the use of the "tone wheel." There is a long motor-driven shaft with many faceted disks on it, which spin very close to pickup coils. The number of nubs which go past the pickup per revolution determines the pitch. Also there are several wheels per note, representing different overtones; drawbars above the keyboard mix in different proportions of these overtones for different timbres. Another part of the "classic" Hammond sound isn't actually the organ itself, but the Leslie cabinet which was often used with it--a rotating speaker that gives a particularly nice vibrato effect. As far as I know, Lenny Dee used a Hammond for all his earlier recordings--though his was apparently hot-rodded with some extra effects, I don't know what all, but he got some pretty freaky sounds out of his. I believe the Lowrey organ used oscillator circuits to generate its sounds (any keyboardists know for sure?) rather than tone wheels, because it was known for the "note bending" sounds which Dick Hyman got so much mileage out of. In fact, I can hardly do better than to quote from the Dick Hyman interview in _Grand Royal_ mag #3: >Q: [discussing _Moon Gas_]Was there some kind of bendable effect on the >organ too? > >DH: Oh yeah. Well in those days I used a Lowrey organ which had--I used >this on all of Enoch Light's records too, and on everybody else's as I got >called, but in particular on this album--it had what they called a >"Hawaiian Guitar" effect.

This was Hammond's 1939 attempt to make an all tube oscillator organ. The whole thing was a commecial failure, because the 100+ tubes were constantly burning out or going off pitch. Nonetheless it produced some really indescribable, juicy sounds, especially in the bass. I know of at least three album sets on 78s which featured the Novachord, but only once did I find the jacket to one, filled with the wrong records!! Grrr. . . .

Sherwood died Monday at her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Sherman Oaks, California, of complications of Alzheimer's disease, family members said. She was 86. Born in 1913 into a carnival family, Sherwood began her 50-year-career at age 11 in vaudeville. Although audiences always responded to her visceral singing style, she chose to stop touring and marry Broadway showman Don Lanning in 1938. They settled in Miami, Florida, began a family, and went into the local nightclub business where Sherwood sang her way through the 1940s and '50s, pausing between acts to breastfeed her three sons. It was not until 1956, with her husband dying of lung cancer and a family to feed, that Sherwood's career took off. Initially passed over as too old to perform, she sang only at local events until she was hired by a Miami Beach club owner. Soon, people packed the bar to hear the woman with the glasses who banged on a battered cymbal while she sang. Television comic Red Buttons brought in Walter Winchell, who raved about her in his column and on radio broadcasts. Not long after Sherwood was earning up to $5,000 a week at the nation's top nightclubs and was signed to record an album for Decca Records. She played New York's famed Copa Cabana, made the rounds at the major clubs in Las Vegas and opened in Hollywood to an enthusiastic reception. Her style was described by Time magazine as ``flashy, richly sentimental, as unsubtle as her crashing cymbal and as unpretentious as her $49.50 dress.'' ``I dug up the cymbal because Murray Franklin didn't have a drummer,'' she once said. ``I started wearing a sweater because of the air-conditioning ... I wear the glasses when I'm walking through the audience because I can't see without them, and I don't want to walk into somebody's shrimp cocktail.'' She also was known for helping young, struggling performers, including Rickles, who said he was saddened by her death. ``I had the honor of sharing the stage with Roberta in Miami Beach ... when she was a star and I was struggling,'' Rickles said. ``With her help and Walter Winchell's, I started to gain recognition. She was one of a kind. Her style and personality will be missed.'' Over the years Sherwood's dozens of hit recordings included ''You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You,'' and ``Up A Lazy River.'' She became a favorite in the early days of television, appearing on ``The Ed Sullivan Show, ``The Steve Allen Show, ''The Jackie Gleason Show,'' ``The Garry Moore Show'' and ''Person To Person'' with Edward R. Murrow. Sherwood is survived by three sons, two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. (She was in the movie "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" as Mrs. Livingstone, the role that Miyoshi Umeki had on the TV show.Her son, Jerry Lanning, became a musical comedy performer, and was featured in (I think) the soap opera "Texas.") -------------------- Tuesday July 6, 5:25 pm Eastern Time Naked corpse found on whale in Florida's SeaWorld ORLANDO, Fla., July 6 (Reuters) - An unidentified man was found naked and dead on the back of a killer whale in a tank at SeaWorld Orlando on Tuesday morning, apparently after hiding in the Florida theme park after closing time, police said. ``The man was found nude on the whale's back,'' said Jim Solomons, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's office. ``There was no obvious trauma -- he wasn't bitten or chewed up or anything.'' Investigators said an autopsy would determine the cause of death, with drowning considered a strong possibility. The man's name was not released but police said he was 27 years old. Swimming trunks were found at the bottom of the pool. Solomons said the man was not a whale trainer or other SeaWorld employee. Park employees said he might have been someone seen at the park during the previous few days. ``We believe this might have been a man who was seen around the park for several days taking an interest in the whales,'' said SeaWorld general manager Vic Abbey. ``He may have been hiding until the park closed.''

About a year ago, I retired my B&O turntable because of the difficulty and $$ of their special stylus/needle and picked up a Radio Shack turntable at a used furniture store. Brought it over to the local rat shack and the fellow there actually knew something about turntables. He replaced the needle (in stock and only about $17) and balanced the arm for me. I'm back in business, all for less than the price of 2 CD's. The package said it was a diamond needle. Am I being sold the Brooklyn Bridge? I figure I should replace the needle once a year "just to be safe". Now I wonder.

Some do, most certainly. Unlike other eloctronic instruments of the time, many have retained their original dollar value. Hammond B-3 organs are one of the most sought after instruments in the trade. It is not unusual to pay $2000 or more for one in good shape. My band The Brimstones play the Farfisa Compact. He paid around $700 for it. A Lowrey or Wurlitzer of concert size certainly would fetch a decent price, as will a Mellotron, Vox Fender Rhodes or any other older professional keyboard. The models that were designed for home use, the less expensive Lowreys and Conns and even Hammonds can be had quite cheaply. I bought a cheezy Hammond a few years ago for $10. But the models that had decent sound quality and, as the other post mentioned about Dick Hyman's reasons, decent useable features...these still hold some significant value. And we haven't even brought up synthesizers and how much they go for now....

The Warrawong Westfield mall in Wollongong, south of Sydney, has begun playing Crosby's hit "My Heart is Taking Lessons" repeatedly to keep its entrances teenager-free, The Daily Telegraph said. And the tactic appears to be working with teenagers telling the newspaper the "old fogey" music had driven them from their favorite spot outside the complex. "All the people from Warrawong High used to hang here after school - now you don't see them," 14-year-old Matthew Wilson told the daily. The technique could also be used by other communities with the southern Sydney suburb of Kogarah considering blaring Bing to clear loitering teen-agers from public areas. The community is also considering installing pink lighting which clearly shows pimples on teenagers' faces to discourage loitering. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Sonic Youth gear stolen Date: 08 Jul 1999 02:56:31 EDT Eyemote@aol.com wrote: > > > URGENT/SY GEAR STOLEN! > > july 4 1999 LA/Orange County > > > Hello all, this is Lee from Sonic Youth > here, we have had a fucked up situation > come down on us over this last night--a > brand new Ryder truck parked at a Ramada > Inn in Orange County with ALL OF OUR GEAR > IN IT was STOLEN!

A partial answer: The back of the "Music From A Sparkling" Planet" disk lists about 120 TV movies and TV shows, including Magum P.I., that have used Esquival recorded "short mood pieces" recorded for Universal studios in the 1960's. Since then they have been used in 100s of TV soundtracks. INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC mentions "Wrote theme and/or background music" and the credits include Magnum PI. These sources do not tell us that he specifically wrote the theme. Only that his music was used on the TV show.

Date: 08 Jul 1999 15:05:09 -0500 It seems like Nat spent the weekend "living" his film. I say this from the priveleged position of having seen a recent cut of his film on the subject of obsessive record collectors. I have this feeling that the subject of the weekend is one of those collectors Nat interviewed in the film (and there were some mighty strange people he visited). Anyway, I hope all of you someday get to see this film (any film producers on the list may want to drop Nat a line) if anything so you see for yourself that Nat's weekend experience is no exaggeration! I found if funny because I've had similar experiences with a guy I've been buying things from for years. Each year I went back to see him he still wouldn't sell me the one record I wanted, in his words ...just in case I get asked to put together a retrospective of the stuff... Far as I know it's still in his closet! The solution to not falling into the same rut is simple... Throw out your want lists! I know I have maybe 10 or 15 items left on mine and they're all so obscure I never expect to find any of them anyway, so... Still, last weekend's visit to Toronto had me looking in Nat's favourite store but instead of exotica, what do I find but one of my few remaining want list items: The Cornelius Cardew Memorial Concert. I'd actually given up on this one long ago so it was a pleasant surprise. SO again, my advice is stop taking those want lists seriously... you'll feel a large burden lifted from your shoulders. Yeesh, I feel like I'm telling my story for some dependency treatment group!

Conrad Jr., who was the third man to walk on >the moon. OJAI, Calif., July 8 (UPI) -- Charles ``Pete'' Conrad, Jr., the third man to walk on the moon, has been killed in a motorcycle accident. He was 69. The California Highway Patrol reports that Conrad was riding a motorcycle Thursday afternoon when he lost control and ran off the road near Ojai, northwest of Los Angeles. Authorities say Conrad was thrown from the vehicle and suffered massive internal injuries. He died about six hours later at a hospital. Conrad flew four missions for NASA, spending more than 1,180 hours in space. He most visible trip came on Apollo 12, when he became the third man to step on the moon. He also flew two Gemini missions and spent a then-record 28 days in space aboard Skylab 2 in 1973. Most recently, Conrad was working with a company planning to make vacations in space available to the public. Conrad is one of just 12 men to have walked on the moon. His was an almost stereotypical image of a daring, devil-may-care astronaut with a penchant for race cars and water skiing. ``Funny, noisy, colorful, cool, competent; snazzy dresser, race-car driver,'' astronaut Michael Collins wrote describing Conrad. ``One of the few who lives up to the image. Should play Pete Conrad in a Pete Conrad movie.'' Conrad only enhanced that image when he left his spacecraft and stepped onto the lunar surface, saying, ``Whoopee! That may have been one small (step) for Neil (Armstrong), but it's a long one for me!'' In the 1970s, Conrad appeared in a series of television commercials for American Express, asking, ``Do you known me? I walked on the moon.'' ``Up until that time,'' Conrad told author Andrew Chaikin in his 1994 book ``A Man on the Moon,'' ``I could go anywhere, and nobody knew me. I did that American Express commercial, and while that sumbitch was running, I couldn't take a leak -- I remember trying to take a leak in Philadelphia and a guy standing there says 'I know you!''' Conrad was born June 2, 1930, in Philadelphia. He received a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical engineering from Princeton University in 1953, when he joined the Navy to become a pilot. Conrad attended the Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Md., and later served as a flight instructor and test pilot at the fabled training facility. He was selected to become an astronaut in September 1962. His first flight came on Aug. 21, 1965, when he and Gordon Cooper, one of the original seven astronauts, blasted off aboard Gemini 5. The duo established a space endurance record of 190 hours and 56 minutes in orbit, which pushed the United States ahead of the Soviet Union for the first time in the number of man hours in space for each country. Conrad, Gordon and Alan Bean blasted off aboard Apollo 12 for the second manned flight to the moon on Nov. 14, 1969. With Gordon orbiting overhead in the command module, Conrad and Bean executed a pinpoint touchdown in the moon's Ocean of Storms within a stone's throw of an old robot Surveyor spacecraft that touched down on the lunar surface in April 1967. ``Hey, there it is! There it is! Son of a gun, right down the middle of the road,'' Conrad radioed as the lander, named Intrepid, began its final descent. Conrad was first out of the Intrepid followed moments later by Bean. The two spent seven hours and 45 minutes strolling about, collecting samples of rock and lunar soil, deploying experiment packages and snipping off parts of Surveyor for return to Earth to determine the long-term effects of the lunar environment. Conrad returned to space on May 25, 1973, as commander of the first Skylab space station mission. His crewmates were Joseph Kerwin and Paul Weitz. When the giant space station was launched May 14, 1973, a micrometeoroid shield that also served to reflect heat from the craft ripped away. Compounding the space station's problems, a solar wing was jammed and refused to deploy. But engineers quickly devised a scheme for Conrad's crew to repair the spacecraft. The astronauts were able to erect a blanket-like parasol over the portion of the space station exposed to the sun and they freed the jammed solar panel during a spacewalk. In the end, the crew completed 46 of 55 scheduled experiments before returning to Earth on June 22, 1973. After serving 11 years as an astronaut, Conrad retired and became vice president of American Television and Communications Corp. of Denver. In 1976, the veteran astronaut became a vice president for international sales of McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Corp. and was promoted in 1980 to senior vice president for marketing. From 1991 to 1993, he helped develop and test the DC-X ``Delta Clipper'' reusable rocket, an unmanned, sub-scale prototype of a proposed manned single-stage-to-orbit launcher. His 1953 marriage to former Jane DuBose, ended in divorce. In 1990, he married the former Nancy Fortner, an editor he met on a blind date. Between them, the couple had five grown sons. A sixth, Conrad's youngest, died of cancer in 1990 at age 29. Conrad and his wife lived in Huntington Beach, Calif. OJAI, Calif. (AP) -- Former astronaut Charles P. ``Pete'' Conrad, who in 1969 became the third man to walk on the moon, uttering an exuberant ``Whoopie!'' as he stepped on the lunar surface, died in a motorcycle accident. He was 69. Conrad, who also flew two Gemini missions in the 1960s and commanded first Skylab mission in 1973, crashed on a turn yesterday on Highway 150 near Ojai and died five hours later at Ojai Valley Community Hospital. Conrad, who lived in Huntington Beach near Los Angeles, was on a trip to Monterey with his wife, Nancy, and friends, Ventura County Deputy Coroner James Baroni said. Baroni said Conrad's injuries didn't initially appear to be severe, but he got worse after arriving at the hospital. He had some chest pain and had more trouble breathing. ``He showed that he had some type of internal bleeding and they needed to do exploratory surgery,'' Baroni said. But doctors were unable to revive him. Just this spring, Conrad joked that he was looking forward to the day he would turn 77. ``I fully expect that NASA will send me back to the moon, as they treated Sen. (John) Glenn. And if they don't do otherwise, why, then I'll have to do it myself,'' he declared. Glenn became the oldest person in space at age 77 aboard the shuttle Discovery last year. Like Glenn, Conrad's passion for space exploration never diminished. In 1995, he formed several companies with the goal of commercializing space. ``He was going back to space as an entrepreneur, trying to create ways for rockets to launch inexpensively and manage satellites,'' Mrs. Conrad said Thursday evening. NASA selected Conrad, an aeronautical engineer and Navy test pilot, as an astronaut in 1962, three years after the first seven astronauts were announced. He piloted the eight-day Gemini 5 mission in 1965, which set an endurance record in orbiting the earth. A year later, Conrad commanded Gemini 11, which docked with another craft during orbit and set a space altitude record of 850 miles. As commander of the Apollo 12 mission in November 1969, Conrad earned the distinction of being the third man to walk on the moon after bringing the lunar module down in the moon's Ocean of Storms. The first two moonwalkers were Neil Armstrong and Edwin ``Buzz'' Aldrin, who landed there 30 years ago this month, on July 20, 1969. Armstrong's first words became famous: ``That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.'' When the 5-foot-6 Conrad stepped onto the surface four months later, he exclaimed with his trademark sense of humor: ``Whoopie! That may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me.'' Conrad and astronaut Alan Bean spent seven hours and 45 minutes on the lunar surface. Among their tasks was installing a nuclear power generating station to provide a power source for long-term experiments. During the 28-day Skylab flight in May-June 1973, Conrad established a personal endurance record for time in space by bringing his total flight time to 1,179 hours and 38 minutes. He called his last mission in space the most satisfying, working to repair the damage Skylab suffered during its liftoff. After retiring from NASA and the Navy in 1973, he worked as chief operating officer of American Television and Communications Corp. in Denver and later for McDonnell Douglas Corp., the aviation manufacturer. Among his numerous awards were the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, two NASA Distinguished Service Medals, two NASA Exceptional Service Medals, two Navy Distinguished Service Medals and two Distinguished Flying Crosses. He was enshrined in the Aviation Hall of Fame in 1980. The Philadelphia native is the third of the 12 original moon walkers to die. James Irwin of Apollo 15 died in 1991 and Alan Shepard of Apollo 14 died a year ago. In reflecting on the upcoming 30th anniversary of Apollo 11, Conrad recently said, ``Time flies when you're having fun, and I've been having fun for the last 30 years.'' Conrad, who divorced his first wife, is survived by his second wife, three sons and seven grandchildren. A son preceded him in death. Funeral arrangements were pending. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Moritz R Subject: Re: (exotica) Tiki site Date: 09 Jul 1999 17:20:57 +0200 Jane Fondle wrote: > Wow, can you buy mugs there?

Good environs, nice decor, very Polynesian - coconuts, bamboo, grass skirts (not on the help tho') and mugs. I do not recall if they sold mugs - not my gig. Food is Ok if not too expensive and the service is definitely throwback. Each meal includes a waiter, a server, a busser, a wine guy, a bread guy, a "get a new napkin" guy, and many others I did not know what they did. We must have had 6 or 7 different people serve, wait, ask or deliver food and various other items. They didn't have music at lunch and I did not notice any announcements for entertainment, but then again I wasn't looking. Overall - Medium tiki experience.

I'm a Bostonian from '82 to '93 I think my first visit to the Tiki Lagoon/ Volcano Bay room was mid '80s and it looked pretty much as you see it in the picture. The front of the restaurant has changed with the times (adding a Thai sub-restaurant) but this part of the place is as I remember it. I always liked the thatched hut that stands in the middle of the room and the volcanos off on the horizon, plus the outer Edifice Rex, is a true thing to behold. -Roy # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Indy Rutks" Subject: RE: (exotica) Electro-Lounge Date: 09 Jul 1999 11:01:58 -0500 cheryl wrote: > I saw a CD today that looked quite intriguing - it's called > "Electro-Lounge", and appears to be remixes and cut-ups of all the > exotica "standards" (Quiet Village, Caravan, etc.) by well-known > electronica artists.

I have yet to hear one of his albums on the Coral label that I don't like, and "Pick A Polka" is on my all-time favorites list (mostly for one loopy cut... "Chicken Polka"). The early Welk records sound a lot like the music in old Terrrytoons (Heckle and Jeckyl, Mighty Mouse, Gandy Goose, et al). Lots of eastern European sounding clarinets, peppy accordians and the weirdest organ sound this side of the Three Suns. As a kid I was lucky enough to meet old Lawrence.

I will report that the last few visits to Vic's Atlanta have me wondering when that watering hole will close. Vic's Atlanta is in the "basement" of the Hilton Hotel in downtown Atlanta. Now downtown Atlanta is, believe it or not, off the beaten path. You have to be going to the Hilton (or Vic's) to get there. You don't pass by Vic's on your way to anywhere. And this has resulted in the place being dead the last few time we have gone. They do sell mugs at the Atlanta Vic's but you have to ask. The last time the bartender told me, "I don't know if we sell the mugs or not. No one ever asked." She checked with her manager and he said I could have all I wanted at 4 bucks a piece. I spent about 60 bucks on mugs. As a side note: There is a mug that I call the "Fornication Mug" that has whitish men chasing "island-ish" women and engaging them in various acts of "merriment". (it's not real graphic so don't get all excited) Anyway, the mug has "Trader Vic's 63" on the bottom which means the mugs were designed (not made) in 1963. There are Ebay sellers touting these as mugs as MADE in 1963 (Ooo! Vintage!!) and the bidding usually tops 40 bucks!!! So be careful if you are still adding to your mug collection. Back to the report, the Vic's Atlanta is beautifully decorated and the Chinese oven always smells spectacular. Still the place is deserted. Additionally, most of the people staying at the Hilton (usually for conventions) go out of the hotel to eat. Most aren't convinced that the hotel they are staying at would have a good restaurant. Plus, the food is expensive. I don't think there is a dinner entree under 20 bucks. And appetizers are over $ 10.00. Final note, many of the people I see there when I go are sporting Hawaiian shirts and obviously know the Vic's experience. Tiki Bob ALWAYS wears tiki-ish garb to Vic's and exchanges a thumbs up sign to similarly clad patrons. A nod of approval is always reciprocated. Hope this was helpful for those following this thread.

In December 1938, _Mercury Theatre_ was picked up by Campbell Soup and became _Campbell Playhouse_. The site includes five programs from _Campbell Playhouse_ (with plans to add more gradually) as well as a seven-part radio series of _Les Miserables_ that was written, produced, and directed by Orson Welles in 1937, and featured many of the _Mercury_ players.

I am constantly finding even hardcore Tiki collecting types who don't know it is there. I wouldn't say it is that remote, certainly not from my midtown apartment where I can see the Hilton from my sunroom, but it is in an area where most people don't think to go at night. I have had several great experiences there but recently, over the past couple of months, I have seen the service and professionalism of the staff deteriorate rapidly. Most drinks are no longer served in mugs, the larger drinks will be served in ceramic conch shells and the regular ones in glass tumblers or Collins glasses. Their sale cabinet is unstocked and I can no longer buy mugs, ash trays, plates, drink mixes or, really, anything. Since my favorite bartender (Becky) quit the bar staff is unreliable and undertrained (the day when I have to tell a Trader Vics bartender how to make a Mai Tai from scratch is a dark one) and table service has become terrible (I had a 45 wait for a botched drink order last weekend). I will give them one more chance but I have gone from demanding that all of my friends go with me to being hesitant to recommend it to anybody new. -- Paul McKay Assistant Engineer Institute of Paper Science and Technology 500 10TH ST NW ATLANTA, GA 30318 PHONE: (404) 894-8389 FAX: (404) 894-4778 paul.mckay@ipst.edu # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bump Subject: Re: (exotica) Electro-Lounge Date: 09 Jul 1999 16:15:44 -0400 No, it is really mostly all electro with minimal lounge. but its diamond in the rough (and why i still own it) is the excellent experimental jungle/trip hop cover of SWAY with Dean Martin and Julie London.

"I hope he has a good lawyer," Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said, even though Milosevic's club is actually named "Madona." LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Former teen idol Leif Garrett showed up in court a day early in hopes of avoiding jail time on cocaine and heroin charges. Garrett, 37, was scheduled to be arraigned this morning, but he and his attorney made a surprise appearance in court late yesterday. They asked the court to order a report to determine Garrett's eligibility for a diversion program that would mean drug counseling instead of jail time. A judge set an Aug. 13 hearing. The former child actor and '70s singing sensation was one of several people arrested June 29 during a sting at an apartment building known for drug activity. He was charged with cocaine and heroin possession. He is free on $10,000 bail. Garrett recently finished work on a film called ``Art of the Bullet,'' scheduled for release next month. LONDON (AP) -- After more than two decades of unwed and perhaps never-really-wedded togetherness, Rolling Stone lead singer Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall announced Friday that they are seeking to have their marriage annulled.

A "Zombie" is 21.-DM now, which is 11,35 US $. I really like to know the price of the the Zombie in America, and ask for your help, US-listees, but I doubt it can be that much. Second: There are only two mugs left, that you could relate to the original idea of Tiki/Exotica mugs; this skull cup for the hot drinks and the harbor light mug. All others have entirely disappeared. Third: The music played on that evening was like the lowest point in all Trader Vic's history: It was the horrible Gipsy Kings ("Bandolero", "Volare") played over and over again. We heard the same terrible songs for about 5 times. I talked to the Indonesian guy, who had been at this TrV's since the beginning in 1972 and he agreed with my complaints and told me the new chief had directed these changes and in fact prohibited the playing of Hawaiian music. Of course the Munich Trader Vic's doesn't even have a Happy Hour. I guess that's what happens if a place is too successful and when the people who run it are complete ignorants. I guess I have to do something about the text about this place in my homepage.

"Jean-Jacques Perrey was one half of the Perrey/Kingsley duo that, most famously, brought us In Sound from Way Out (later parodied by the Beastie Boys, etc...) and on his own, the track 'E.V.A.' (later re-fashioned by Fatboy Slim, covered by something known as 'Sure is Pure', etc...) as well as recent collabs w/"French Band Air". Strangely enough, this is a collection of music previously only available as a 'function music' (i.e. music for business presentations, airline commercials, Stanley Kubrick movies, radio plays (post Orson, natch), pagan rituals, etc...) LP series entitled Sonosyntheses Electriques (which, incidentally, are rare). Perhaps not quite as 'punk' as the Perrey/Kingsley set, but still highly enjoyable/cheeky through the use of all that trademark obsolete technology (Ondes Martenot, Ondioline, Moog, Marimba) that the youth oh so love. I'll spare you all the anecdote about Jean Cocteau/Edith Piaf aiding in Perrey's departure to the US." -- Hrvatski. $16.00 _____________________________________________ PHILIPS (FRANCE): HENRY, PIERRE: Messe Pour Le Temps Pr=E9sent CD (PHI 456293). Fabulously desirable reissue of the most infamous Henry piece of them all. "Messe Pour Le Temps Pr=E9sent" was music for ballet that was originally recorded in 1967 in association with Michel Colombier. Henry supposedly commissioned Colombier "to recreate the sound textures and violent atmosphere of certain American films." Colombier's music is a variation of fun psychedelic rock from the time, but Henry added "jerks" -- electronic effects and rhythmic cells in response to the work that make for spectacular listening and a fascinating combination of the high and low brow. His electronic sounds from this piece have been heavily sampled in recent years and the hit track on here ("Psyche Rock") is really something to behold. Recently, a very high profile remix project of "Messe Pour Le Temps Pr=E9sent" has been issued by Philips (on FRRR in the US even!) in honor of this works' legendary status, featuring tracks from the album remixed by the likes of Coldcut, William Orbit, Dimitri From Paris, Fatboy Slim, Tek 9, etc. In addition, this CD also contains the following Henry electronic works: "La Reine Verte" (excerpt) & "Le Voyage" (1962) -- "It's a piece about how to approach death and the sounds I use to convey this idea are inspired by zen. They are dream-like and meditative and heighten the listener's awareness." -- Henry. Also included: an excerpt of "Variations Pour Une Porte Et Un Soupir" (full version available on Harmonia Mundi HMA 1905200). $28.00 HENRY, PIERRE: Remixe Sa Dixi=E8me Symphonie CD (PHI 462821). "'In 1979 I composed a symphony titled: "10th Symphony of Beethoven". On the basis of the Beethoven-symphony durations I ended to the my way, by a destructuration of the 9 symphonies. Not does not have a musicologic analysis of the characteristics and constants of the writing of Beethoven updated the trajectories, the possible links, the connections, the bridges of a symphony has the other. By the assembly and the mixtures I introduced times of resolution or of frustration, of prolongation or climate, cycles, repetitions and counterpoints per guns, finally, an approach similar has that of my works. The notes of Beethoven became concrete sounds; I did them my way. Beethoven always fascinated me because he invented melody-in-little-of-notes, very strong melody, as strong as a thunder clap, as a tidal wave, as a siren of fog. It has presented the dramatization of the sounds; in A carves the thickness. Today the 10th Symphony remix, it is the 10th Symphony with rhythms has me, current: a faster rhythmicity, with beats, fright electronic, flutters dephases, mobilities of filters, additions of frequencies, doublings of reverberation. Beethoven is amplified by depassment his orchestra, made more dramatic, more human. Today it is also the scenario of an imaginary film which is the frame of this "10th Symphony remix." Remix, for me, it is to strike, with wanted dynamics, a new radical sound speech. A new adventure meaning the current function of the type-setter in the company.' -- Pierre Henry. A curious addition to the Henry oeuvre, speculated by some as his personalattempt in cashing in on all of that Modulations screen-time through the addition of a certain 'Jackin'' (albeit a distant & foggy 'Jackin'') to the mix. Really, really strange." -- Hrvatski. $28.00 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) ATC on SUSHI 4004 Date: 10 Jul 1999 21:11:23 EDT >A new compilation called Sushi Four-Thousand-Four didn't that come out last year?? my copy of it has a date of 1998 and I've had it for at least 6 months? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) ATC on SUSHI 4004 Date: 10 Jul 1999 21:11:23 EDT >A new compilation called Sushi Four-Thousand-Four didn't that come out last year?? my copy of it has a date of 1998 and I've had it for at least 6 months? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: mimim@texas.net (Mimi Mayer) Subject: Re: (exotica) Phase 4-- are they worth it?? Date: 11 Jul 1999 09:05:39 -0500 Hi Nicola-- I can't vouch for any of the Phase 4 Frank Chacksfield CD rereleases you mentioned, but I can tell you about Phase 4 and another Chacksfield LP I think is worth picking up. Here's what the liner notes say on Chacksfield's "Foreign Film Festival" (London SP 44112). Phase 4 was London Records' audiophile label from the mid-60s: glossy gatefold jackets, star orchestras and top-flight arrangements by some of the best in the business; think of them as a counterpart to the US Command line. Featured Ros, Stanley Black, Chacksfield. In the race to perfect stereo recording and fidelity, London had a 10-channel console mixer custom-built in 1961. It wasn't enough for the obsessed London engineers; they wanted better sound. They got it with stereo spectacular records unleashed on an unsuspecting world in 63 under the Phase 4 brand name, like RCA's "Living Stereo". Phase 4s were mixed on London's exclusive 20-channel console, which did great things to fidelity: gleeful engineers could capture and combine 20 separate sources and position each one as they pleased. Sound got positioned to the extreme left or right and every point in between, and conductors gained greater flexibility in placement of instruments in an orchestra. Alas, LPs no longer had those cool little diagrams of instruments in the recording studio, like the one on Cates' fabulous Polynesian Percussion record -- boo hoo. I dig those drawings. But the Phase 4 sound is terrific. I really hear this on the Chacksfield Foreign Film LP, arrangements by Roland Shaw. About half the tracks I dig because of the themes or the instrumentation. Tasty marimba on Umbrellas of Cherbourg and A Man and a Woman, a pretty good James Bond theme with a nice guitar bit. My favs tho are The Good, the Bad & the Ugly and The Dark of the Sun -- way groovy organ, a Novachord maybe? It's got a whiney sound, like the organ on the 60s hit Telstar. A good mix of moods on the record, too. Lara's Theme sucks -- strings so sugary they could draw ants to a picnic. Another Phase 4 is a favorite: A Ted Heath percussion LP ( his second percussion record, can't recall the name) with a Cherokee guaranteed to peel your scalp off your skull. Also have a Ros LP with doesn't stand out much. Let me know if you'd want tapes of any of these. Maybe that will help you decide to buy or not.

I've got four different dials to work with and I have no idea what to do to get the best sound and put the least amount of stress on my records. We're looking at a height of the tonearm dial, a fine and coarse adjustment for the tonearm counterweight, and also the anti-skating dial. Not to mention just general needle placement an alignment in the head of the tonearm. I have some docs that came with the needle, but which are very technical. I'm looking more for a why, record-wise and sound-wise, as well as a how. So I can see if I done it right. Thanks, Peter PS: I was getting distortion for a while, because it was too light.

Some of the arrangements are duds, but some are great with marimbas, electric bass. I wouldn't spend the money for CDs of these, but for $3 or $4, in good shape, they are really good sounding and enjoyable LPs. Regarding Chacksfield, I would avoid. To me his records are dull.

I've got three Edmundo Ros Phase4 albums which I enjoy: Bongos from the South London SP 44003 Dance Again London SP 44015 Arriba London SP 44080 Are there other Ros Lps? Chacksfield is pretty sappy stuff in general, but I've found on phase 4 there is usually something of interest on his LPs. I just wouldn't pay very much for his albums. I got his TV themes album (I never turn down a TV themes album) and found maybe two selections interesting. I just got the secret agents phase4 LP by Roland Shaw and it is pretty good! Some of the Ronnie Aldrich LPs are cool, some not. Same with Stanley Black and Werner Muller. I found the Johnny Keating LPs more consistantly interesting to me. My general philosophy is...if you find a phase4 LP that looks interesting and is cheap, buy it. It might very well have at least a couple of cuts which are really good...or the entire album.

(The = cover says they are "the most celebrated actors of stage, radio, and = television in Cairo, Paris, London and Hamburg" but they dont say who = they are.) By the descrption on the backcover i find it is the featured = music and words from an early multimedia event (1961) at the Giza = plateue. "Son et Lumiere" Quite exotic, the music sounds a bit like the = music from thrillers/horror movies from that era. at least if they are = set in an exotic environment. picture a soundtrack to a lowbudget "the = Mummy"... Delerue... Didnt he make the music to "Robot monster" too? I bought it at an antigue shop, i wanted two "7 singles and this one. = The seller looked at the eqyptian record with much interest, it gave me = a bad feeling he wasnt willing to sell it but when i told him "Its from = Egypt, it looks funny" and then laughed nervously, playing an innocent = tourist, he let me have it for the same price as the singles. approx $1 One of the singles was nearly as weird. Its from 67 and has a big flower = made out of old inner computer parts, psychedelic looking.The music is = played by the central processor of a GE-115 Computer, (which probably = back then was as big as a house). Side A has classical works and side B = contains original music, or what it can be called. I love it. It was = issued in italy by general electric and was probably given as a = christmas gift from the company. Very early computer nusic indeed, from = a time when computer music sounded SciFi. Ouuuuueeeeeeeeeeee U U = uuuuuouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEE Be be ebeb Other purchases Frankie Stein and his ghouls -"Shock!

Most expensive Lp i = have bought in quite some time paid aprx $25 for it nearly mint. But = in fact I find that cheap for records like that. A 50s brazilian Mambo compilation LP "mambo mucho mambo" with Cugat = Machito and Belmonte. Flute nightmare by Cugat was great exotica.

He died Thursday from respiratory failure and pneumonia, two weeks after being honored during a ceremony designating the former site of his nightclub -- Leo's Casino -- as an historic rock-and-roll landmark. Warwick told the (Cleveland) Plain Dealer the nightclub gained national prominence during the 1960s and early 1970s among black singers and comedians. ``Leo was the reason a lot of us worked. When times were tough, he made sure we all had jobs. ``Everyone who became anything passed through Leo's Casino.'' Numerous artists rearranged their schedules to attend last month's ceremony, including Jerry ``Iceman'' Butler, Chuck Jackson and Martha Reeves. The Plain Dealer said that between 1963 and 1972, musical acts such as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, the Supremes, the Temptations and the Four Tops all performed at Frank's nightclub. It was at Leo's Casino that Otis Redding gave his last performance before being killed in a plane crash in 1967. The club also served aso a springboard for comics such as Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson and Redd Foxx. Dick Gregory once called Leo's Casino ``the most fully integrated nightclub in America.'' Frank is survived by his wife of 22 years, Sharon, a son, two daughters and three grandsons. *Ronny Graham LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Ronny Graham, who wrote episodes of ``M-A-S-H'' and ``The Mary Tyler Moore Show,'' died Sunday. He was 79. Graham also collaborated with Mel Brooks on such films as ``The Inquisition,'' ``History of the World, Part I,'' ``Spaceballs'' and ``To Be or Not to Be.'' *Angus MacDonald LONDON (AP) -- Pipe Major Angus MacDonald, considered one of the world's best bagpipers, died June 25. He was 60. The place and cause of death were not given. MacDonald won the prestigious title Piobaire Os Cionn Chaich, or ``piper above all others'' in 1981. Throughout his 27-year military career in the Scots Guards, MacDonald served as household piper to Queen Elizabeth II, a personal piper to the governor of Edinburgh Castle and a senior instructor at the Army School of Piping. MacDonald was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1983. *Helen Forrest LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Helen Forrest, who sang with big bands from Artie Shaw to Benny Goodman, died Sunday of heart failure. She was 82. Ms. Forrest was ``the most famous of all the big band singers'' and recorded more than 500 songs, said Alan Eichler, her publicist. Among her best-known recordings were ``All the Things You Are,'' with Shaw; ``The Man I Love,'' with Goodman and ``I Don't Want to Walk Without You'' and ``I Had the Craziest Dream,'' with Harry James. She also teamed with Dick Haymes on popular recordings and a long-running radio show. Ms. Forrest -- born Helen Fogel in Atlantic City, N.J. -- also appeared in the 1940s films ``Private Buckaroo,'' ``Bathing Beauty,'' ``Springtime in the Rockies,'' and ``Best Foot Forward.'' In 1940, she gained some notoriety for recording with Lionel Hampton's band. ``Back then, for a white singer to record with a black orchestra was very unusual,'' Eichler said. Ms. Forrest also made some waves when she replaced Billie Holliday as the vocalist for Shaw in 1938. For a while before Ms. Holliday left to start a solo career, both women sang for the band and took their places on the bandstand. When some theater operators required the black singer to stay off stage until performance time, Ms. Forrest announced she would do the same. ``She wanted Billie to have the same rights she had,'' Eichler said. ---------------------------- HAVANA, July 10 (AFP) - Marcelo Ricardo Chacon, believed to be the most tattooed man in the world, died here at age 77 after a heart attack, the newspaper Juventad Rebelde said Saturday. A native of Pueblo Nuevo, 100 kilometers (60 miles) east of here, the man known as "Chacon el Taino" came to the capital wanting to become a sailor. His entire body was tattooed with political, cultural and social events that he witnessed from Casa Blanca -- a small, rough and colorful neighborhood on Havana Bay. Although he never professed a faith, in last years of life he cheered those who did, wearing his many necklaces and bracelets and playing his tumbadora (drum) near the Cathedral Plaza in Old Havana. Chacon willed all his savings to child-care center in his neighborhood, the newspaper said. Some of his neighbors have expressed an interest in turning his small house into a museum to preserve his necklaces and musical instruments, among other mementos. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: mimim@texas.net (Mimi Mayer) Subject: (exotica) Better living thru hi-fi (was phase 4) Date: 12 Jul 1999 10:41:40 -0500 =46rank said >BTW, I recently came upon a mono version on a phase 4 recordin= g ( sound 4 ) >...what's the point?

The government is considering the petition to bury Brown at Heroes Park, Local Government Minister Arnold Bertram said Friday. Earlier this week, Prime Minister P.J. Patterson said the government would help pay for the funeral, which is scheduled for July 17. Brown died of pneumonia on July 1 at the age of 42. Dubbed the ``crown prince of reggae,'' he rose to prominence during the 1970s wave of reggae singers that included Bob Marley, who introduced the musical form to listeners worldwide. Brown released a string of hits, beginning with ``No Man is an Island,'' which he recorded in 1969 at the age of 12. The last person to be buried at Heroes Park was former Prime Minister Michael Manley, the son of Jamaica's founding father, who died two years ago. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: tosh@loop.com (Tosh) Subject: (exotica) The Knack Date: 12 Jul 1999 09:25:01 -0700 (PDT) I just saw Richard Lester's The Knack last night.

I've got four different dials to work with and I have no idea what to do to get the best sound and put the least amount of stress on my records. We're looking at a height of the tonearm dial, a fine and coarse adjustment for the tonearm counterweight, and also the anti-skating dial. Not to mention just general needle placement an alignment in the head of the tonearm. Here's some badly written advice... this question comes up frequently in alt.music.makers.dj and occasionally in rec.music.collecting.vinyl... You need to find out the recommended tracking force for the needle first. E.g. for mine (Stanton 500ALs) it's between 3 and 4gms. Too little or too much and there's increased wear on the grooves (as well as distortion on high notes if it's too little). Not sure how other turntables work, but if the arm weight is removable and has a rotating ring with markings (like Technics 1200s) then you need to balance the arm so it 'floats' over the record perfectly level. Set the ring, without moving the weight, to '0' and then you can increase the weight by rotation to whatever the specified level is for the cartridge. Anti-skating balances the force on the needle that pulls it inwards, towards the centre. The markings I've seen are in grams, and should be set to the same as the arm weight. (or 0 for scratching ;) Anti-skating evens out the wear between both groove walls, and also should help prevent that nasty 'lurch' towards the centre when you lower the stylus into the run-in groove. Position of the cartridge in the headshell lines the point of the stylus perpendicular to the direction of the moving groove, i.e. so the curved groove appears to be straight to the stylus (imagine the bottom point on a circle to be a straight line where it meets the floor?) Height ring - adjusts the arm so that the very tip of the stylus (the diamond point) is perpendicular to the horizontal plane (i.e. the record). Too much and it will lean forwards, too little and it will slope backwards. You can do this by eye roughly. Alternatively the instruction manual for the turntable should have a list of height settings depending on the height of the cartridge. You can find out the cartridge height, hopefully, along with the recommended arm weight. The best sound will come from the needle being perfectly (evenly) lined up in all these aspects. It's a case of using your eyes rather than ears for this. The needle being evenly set up will also give the minimum level of wear. Needles: come in spherical and eliptical. Eliptical supposedly have better sound, but increased wear, especially if the records have already been played a lot with sphericals, so you won't get the better sound possibly. Hope this helps a little. Hopefully someone else can do a more coherent job. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Dick Shawn Date: 12 Jul 1999 14:13:52 EDT In a message dated 07/12/99 8:09:22 AM Eastern Daylight Time, m.sandberg@telia.com writes: << Long time since I saw the tiresome Its a mad mad mad world, and I dont remember Dick Shawn at all.

Supposedly it was to feature many album covers, etc. Anyone? Anyone? On another note... my CD making capabilities have firmly gotten on the good foot. COMPLETED TITLES INCLUDE: HUGO MONTENEGRO - Best Of (2 discs touching upon all essential Hugo...) WEIRDO BEATLES - (2 Discs) A set of the strangest Beatle interpretations I could find, including tunes by WIlliam Shatner, Laibach, Hugo Montenegro, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler(!) Enoch Light, Phil Collins, Mystic Moods Orchestra, Santo & Johnny, Karl Swobodian and many more favorites.(Features nothing from the recent George Martin release, but I can imagine a future volume will... Jim Carey and Goldie Hawn singing Beatles tunes?) FREEKY DEEKY - (1 Disc) "Very Bad Music" Volume 1 - Features tunes from Mr. T (!), WIlliam Shatner, Telly Savalas, Anthony Newley, MECO, L Ron Hubbard and more! ROBO ELECTRIC CHEESE - (1 Disc) Great moog inspired stomping robot disco featuring Girorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk, Space, Hot Butter, Munich Orchestra and more. NOIR Volume 1 - (1 Disc) Features a nice introduction into the music of cloak & dagger, dames, private dicks, spies and noir. Includes John Barry, Henry Mancini, Warren Barker, Al Caiola, Clebanoff, Barry Adamson, Toldeo, Alvino Rey, Angelo Badalamenti and many more. Website is coming soon... In the Works Titles include: L. RON HUBBARD - "Space Jazz" b/w YARS REVENGE ATARI 2600 LP. The L Ron Scientology LP has got to be the weirdest record I own... it's just sick... it's being paired with a Sci-Fi kids record that tied in with the Yars Revenge Atari Video game back in 1982.

I'd go so far as to say that this is my favorite Barry soundtrack. No others of his that I've heard are consistently this good.(I say this at the risk of committing a Bond sacrilege, but you'd have to admit the Bond soundtracks simply are not as "jazzy" as the Knack.) Although, he does that typical soundtrack-arrangers crutch in that there are really only about two or three themes, and all the subsequent tracks (cues) are variations on these themes.

I've always wanted this album after first seeing it in the Incredibly Strange Music book and now I own a pristine copy. It is however, a little bit of a letdown. I suppose I was expecting a little more "experimental" use of these surplus store items. The album is pretty much easy jazz with one or two common items basically used as percussion instruments. I mean how many times do you wanna listen to a sandpaper-scrubbrush effect that really doesn't sound too far removed from a recognized percussion instrument? Okay I'm being hard on this lp, it is after all a pretty darn cool album. It's funny how after getting an album that you've craved for many years without ever having heard that it can let you down when you finally hear it, simply because you've built up this expectation of how great it *could* be. Along these lines (sort of) but more contemporary - Has any one heard that "Chainsaw Orchestra " (or some such name) album that came out two or three years ago? I'm curious.

The cover features a very un-Hawaiian babe, blonde hair blue eyes, standing in some "jungle " foliage with Aloha Hawaii in big yellow-orange letters to the right. So now you know what to look for , chances are that in your grimy thrift store scavenging that you've come across this and passed up on it as merely another cheesy budget Hawaiian album. I think I have before myself, luckily a friend of mine, Jon, pointed out two tracks on this album that are not merely outstanding, but perhaps the most fucked up "Hawaiian" songs ever! (Okay Frank, easy with those superlatives.) Two songs on this album " Hawaiian Holiday" and " Hawaiian Starlight" are the obvious original material filler tracks on this otherwise fairly pedestrian Hawaiian album. These two songs represent a genre unto themselves which I can only describe as Hawaii-abilly! Yes, Rockabilly meets Hawaiian!! What a concept I think that the more daring of these new rockabilly bands should actively pursue this idea. "Hawaiian Starlight", the more straightforward of the two is the perfect melding of a rockabilly guitar sound to an uptempo Hawaiian melody, think Hawaiian War Bop, and you'll have a good idea. The other tune "Hawaiian Starlight" defies description, I still have to ask a drummer friend of mine tell me if they are actually playing in time or just screwing up the rhythm on purpose. On top of that "rhythm" you have the rockabilly sounding guitar as in the other tune but on top of that is a vocalist who makes mockery of the Hawaiian language in the most mind boggling way! Again the rockabilly style comes to mind, but imagine this style of singing, glottal stops and all, but with some totally incomprehensible words spewing out! I am still shaking my head in blissful wonderment....whew.

Ennio Morricone -- Le Foto Proibite Di Una Signora Per Bene on DagoRed. A new one, A beautiful pressing on really nice heavy vinyl. It restores your faith in vinyl, sorry to come over all trainspotter, but it really is a joy to hold this record. And even better its a good record, ranging from excellent Italian pop and go-go music to atonal space orchestration something like Art Mineo's 'Man in Space with Sounds' meets 'Get Carter'. Gershon Kingsley -- music to Moog by. Another new one, another nice pressing. I think we've heard all about the contents. Well worth having. Onto the second handers: Andre Penazzi -- orgao, samba, percussao vol 3. A tip from Christian Courtis, to follow up on my Ed Lincoln enquiries. Injected for Super Sound, it looks like it should be a Super Stereo Action type record, especially with all the technical info on the back, but no, its in mono (by the way, I also saw a phase 4 mono record last week). I should say its from about 1960, its hard to tell, groovy stuff, not too heavy on the percussion, and not the same thick kitchen sink style organ as Ed Lincoln, but a very nice record. Michel Legrand -- The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Phillips Connoisseur Collection. Mono. I was very disappointed with this. One Nice swinging/crime jazz number, and the main theme. I didn't enjoy the rest at all. I've offered it to Arjan, but if anyone else wants it they can have it. Lee Hazlewood -- Houston. Not much to say. Lee, country style, not too gravely. Houston and his own spine chilling Fridays Child. Another good one. Harry Stoneham -- Hammond My Way. More organs - lovely. My Way taken at breakneck speed in a super cheesy style. This has some real high spots for me. On Contour rather than Studio 2. Didn't get into any charity shops, maybe at the weekend.

You have to remember that Stanley Kraemer assembled about 100 well know actors/actresses for this movie. The final version runs about 3 hours but the original version Kraemer wanted to show was about 5 hours. A buddy of mine and I would kill to see those extra two hours. It was a return to slap schtick comedy that have been absent in the US for about 25 years. At the time, this movie was well received because of this. And all the actors as mentioned above. Sorry if we disagree on this one -- I really do think it is a funny, not to mention artful, movie. And Ethel Merman's loud mouth is just so typical of the obnoxious mother-in-law that so many American males despise (this MUST be universal). When she hits the banana peel at the end and makes the room full of men, all with tremendous pain and consequences from breaking the law, break up laughing it is just classic. At one point someone calls Ethel Merman an "old bag" and Dick Shawn say, "Hey! That's my mama you're talking about." It just strikes many as being funny. And it is the way he says it. Oh well. Maybe it is a culture (or my case a lack of culture) thing.

IIRC, one is called something like "The Jokers", the brothers being Crawford and Oliver Reed, who steal the crown jewels as a stunt. And that one is a Michael Winner film! (Scary, no? But it's pretty good.) Crawford is probably (still) best known in Britain for his role as Frank Spencer in the once hugely popular sit-com "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em", in which he played a gormless idiot who was a walking disaster area that drove people nuts (lots of demolition, stunts, slapstick humour, etc.). So he has a completely different image over here, I guess. They've just started repeating 'em. But more on-topically, there's another Crawford-Barry link. Crawford was in the stage show "Billy", a musical adaptation of "Billy Liar", the music for which was written by one Mr. John Barry. And, yes, there is an LP of it. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Re: Enjoyed your web page Date: 13 Jul 1999 10:12:39 EDT Thought the List might like this In a message dated 07/13/99 8:06:27 AM Eastern Daylight Time, USAKOWLOON writes: << Subj: Re: Enjoyed your web page Date: 07/13/99 8:06:27 AM Eastern Daylight Time From: USAKOWLOON To: Rcbrooksod Tiki Bob Thank-you for the kind words and for informing your friends of our Web Page.

I know exactly the tracks you are talking about! Totally wigged! But as long-lost listee Tony Wilds first pointed out, that session has gotten spread around on about 20 different budget hawaiian albums, under numerous alleged band names and album titles. I have the same tracks as by "Jonnie Aluani" on Pirouette and "Lani Scott" on Acorn--where paradoxially, the cover photo shows shows a couple of afro-carribean babes. I've always suspected that the "hawaiian" vocal on that one track is just some Nashville session man liquored out of his noggin.

Picking just ONE, is difficult, but some of my favorites include (and forgive me, my vinyl collection is 700 miles away right now) "OOPS! There Comes A Smile" - Jim and Tammy Bakker. Yep, the original terrifying PTL Club children's album. Imagine my glee when I recently heard Tammy Faye singing "Jesus takes a frown, and turns it upside down..." on Talk Soup a few months back. My ex didn't believe I had a full recording of it. Now she knows better. :) "The Coming War With Russia According To The Bible" - Dr. Jack Van Impe. I'm still waiting for this war. This album came out in 1950something. Still in the original shrink wrap! **I promise, its not all religious recordings, though I have a certain fondness for some of the more outlandish ones*** "Bagels and Bongos" - Irving Fields. Traditional Jewish melodies, with a latin beat! Who can resist "Havana Negila"? "Saturday Night Fiedler" - Arthur Fiedler. "Disco music is the music of the FUTURE!" proclaim the liner notes. and finally, one I cannot recall the title of. I just remember the bit from the liner notes: "What will the music of the future sound like in 1976????" A lot of playing about with the stereo channels, and "full guitar orchestras!". Fun stuff.

For those of you unfamiliar with 'Cannot Become Obsolete', I base each issue on a compilation cassette tape made from my collection of old/unusual LPs. My articles tend to tangent off onto personal stories and observations from my own life. Issue #5 is 52 pages densely filled with various miscellany and absolutely no advertising. An added feature of CBO #5 are several real-life stories from a recent trip I took to the exotic lands of Singapore and Bali.... and also pictures of my own tiki-basement room. This issue also features some thrift-store related photos. One is of my bathroom, which now is decorated with 364 of those plastic floating carnival ducks with the numbers underneath. The other set is from a roll of film that was left in a camera I thrifted....and the various beach/party photos that were discovered when I had the roll developed. LPs included in this issue are... - Project 3 / Popular Science Stereo Test Record - Katie Lee's 'Songs of Couch and Consultation' - The Brothers Four sing Lennon/McCartney - Little Richard Miller (born without arms and legs) - Johnny Cash Sings the Songs that Made him Famous - The Royal Guardsmen 'Snoopy and his Friends' - Dick Schory's 'Re-percussion' - Martin Denny's 'The Enchanted Sea' - Arthur Murray 'Rock and Roll' - Arthur Lyman's 'The Legend of Pele' ............and many many more.

Date: 13 Jul 1999 14:46:27 -0700 <> Okay, here it goes. My vinyl fetishes are mainly for exotica, lounge, and Christmas music. Some of my most recent acquisitions include: - "The Don Ho Christmas Album" A double-whammy since it combines Hawaiian and Christmas! (or two shots if you're playing the exotica mail list drinking game!) - "Christmas at the Hawaiian Village" a 45 by Alfred Apaka. I got both the Don Ho and the Alfred Apaka during the same week! What a week! - "Let's Dance with The Three Suns" This album purchase can be directly attributed to the exotica mail list since I had never purchased any Three Suns albums until I started reading favorable reviews here in the misdt of my lurking. Many more similar purchases are sure to follow 'cause that's some good s#@$. - "The Stripper and Other Fun Songs for the Family" an LP by David Rose and His Orchestra. This album has some very cool black and white pictures of a lady in lingerie, fishnet stockings, and a feather boa. But, somehow I don't get the connection between stripping and "family fun". Am I missing something? -- "Hawaiian Wedding Song" an LP by Andy Williams. The less said about this snoozer the better. Generally speaking my favorite Hawiian/exotica artists include (but are not limited to!): Arthur Lyman, Alfred Apaka, Ray Kinney, and Les Baxter. But like the rest of you, I'm willing to try anything once.

Despite better judgment and overcommitments, I'm doing it anyway (the fourth year running!). I'm tying it in with "An Evening For the Jet Set" scheduled for August 14th at the Highland Theater in Akron. In addition to me DJing, there will be a screening of a 35mm print of La Dolce Vita, and possibly the final performance by local music outfit the King Dapper Combo. The past couple of years, other promoters had lined up their own Enoch-related themed events to create a sort of national, (and last year, international) jet set synergistic Enoch vibe. E-mail me if you're interested in doing a local event (or radio special) sometime around Enoch's birthday on August 18th and I'll tie it in with online/other promotion. (1999 is also the 40th anniversary of Persuasive Percussion and Command Records, BTW) So far, Otto Von Stroheim is planning an event in San Francisco on the 17th. Watch this space (and, invariably Robbie's Spaced Out site) for details as they happen.

This record (on the "directional sound" label) is, like several of their titles, a repackaging of an Omega release (tho it's possible this title never got released before Omega went under). DS took Omega records by the Francis Bay Orchestra (recorded in Belgium and licensed by Omega for release in the USA) and changed the name to "John Evans and his Orchestra". (The Bay group's pianist was named Jean Evans, so that's where this particular inspiration came from.) EPaBB is one of these repackaged records. Where it starts to get interesting is in figuring out how Chaino fits in. It seems highly unlikely that he flew to Belgium to sit in with Bay's ensemble. More probable is that Omega had a bunch of Bay tracks in a pseudo-Martin-Denny style (Bay's group specialized in mimicking the styles of other popular bandleaders) and they interspersed some cuts by Chaino, thereby creating an album featuring both, even though they were never on the same continent, let alone the same recording studio. So back to the Directional Sound reissue: their practice was to mix cuts from different records to disguise the fact that these were reissued recordings. So what's on EPaBB is likely >most< of what the original Omega version contained, but with the possibility that some cuts were dropped and others added from elsewhere. It's even conceivable that the cuts by Chaino never made it to the DS reissue at all, but absent a copy of the original Omega (which is pictured in the notes for the recent Chaino CD) to compare, it's impossible to tell. This is so confusing that I'm convinced that at least one of the tracks on the recent Chaino CD is not Chaino at all, but one of the faux-Martin-Denny Francis Bay numbers!

Every second business now seems to be an e-cafe, full of backpackers, a real change since I was here two years ago. Last night, I went to a launch of the new academic book on exotica, edited by Phil Hayward, Widening the Horizon -- or something like that. I spent this morning trolling through the used music stores on Pitt Street, one of which has an upstairs full of easy listening albums running about $1-$2. I got lots of movie-theme compilations I haven't seen before, and a fab bossa nova album whose cover shows someone putting albums with "mambo" and "twist" on their sleeves into a trash can. It's no trip to Cleveland, but it will have to do. Will _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He was 79. Greenbaum, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Sorbonne in Paris and served in World War II as a Navy pilot and flight instructor. After the war, he wrote, produced and starred in a Boston radio show called ``Greenbaum's Gallery.'' Greenbaum and Fritzell teamed up in 1952 for Wally Cox's ``Mr. Peepers,'' a collaboration that continued until Fritzell's death in 1979. The pair earned a Peabody Award, four Emmy nominations, three Writers Guild comedy awards and the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award. They wrote eight feature films, including ``Good Neighbor Sam'' and ``The Shakiest Gun in the West.'' On his own, Greenbaum wrote two books, including the memoir ``The Goldenberg Who Couldn't Dance,'' and worked on ``The George Gobel Show.'' He also acted, appearing in brief roles on Griffith's ``Matlock'' series and other programs. *James ``Jimmy'' Newman LAS VEGAS (AP) -- James ``Jimmy'' Newman, the son and manager of singer Gladys Knight, died Saturday. He was 36. The cause of death was not released. The coroner said it appears that Newman died of natural causes. An autopsy is pending. Newman managed his mother's career through his Newman Management Inc., one of four Knight-related companies sharing offices in Southern Nevada. This year, Newman helped his mother launch Many Roads, a specialty record label formed to support her recent gospel album, ``Many Different Roads,'' and other gospel artists. According to the album's media materials, Newman brought many of the songs to Knight's attention, including ``Jesus' Love Is Like a River,'' a song co-written by Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch. ISTANBUL, July 13 (AFP) - A cafe owner in Turkey shot and killed a customer who wanted to use the toilet, the Anatolia news agency reported Tuesday. Ibrahim Kucuk asked the owner of the Dodurgalilar coffehouse in Incirliova near Aydin in western Turkey to use the restroom, but the owner refused, saying he did not want smells in his toilet, the agency said. Enraged by the ensuing discussion with his customer, the owner, identified by his initials A.D., drew a revolver and shot Kucuk, who died in hospital. A.D. was arrested after the shooting, Anatolia reported. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jane Fondle Subject: (exotica) Was Brazil '66 ever on TV?

Well, the Library of Congress is at your service. ``Krazy Kat'' is there, the strip President Wilson was said to read before Cabinet meetings, and also ``The Katzenjammer Kids'' and ``Keeping Up With the Joneses.'' There are 21 animated films and two fragments, covering the years 1900 to 1921. And they're available to anyone with a computer via the Internet. To find them go to the Library of Congress Web site, http://www.loc.gov, and click on American Memory. Then search for the keyword animation. The earliest is Thomas A. Edison's ``The Enchanted Drawing.'' In less than a minute and a half, it shows what the inventor's catalog called ``an elderly gentleman of most comical features and expression pouring wine out of the bottle.'' ``These films also reveal some of the social attitudes of early 20th century America,'' the library said in its announcement. For the more active, the library site also offers dancing lessons. It has put ``An American Ballroom Companion'' on the Web with extracts from more than 200 books. They describe social dancing back to the time of Columbus. Video demonstrations allow the student to compare printed instructions with actual movements. No macarena, though -- the dance manuals only go up to 1920. Collections display presidential papers, Civil War photos, 1,500 images from what the library calls ``the golden age of jazz'' and an outstanding assemblage of baseball cards. The National Digital Library now has about 2 million items in 60 separate collections and expects to have 6 million next year when the Library of Congress celebrates it 200th birthday. That compares with 18 million books in the stacks and nearly 100 million other items such as maps and photos. A digitized ``Southern Mosaic'' presents 25 hours of folk music collected 60 years ago by John and Ruby Lomax -- nearly 700 songs, over 100 of them in Spanish. The couple traveled 6,502 miles through eight Southern states for material. They came up with a unique collection of ballads, blues, children's songs, cowboy songs, fiddle tunes, hollers, lullabies, religious dramas, spirituals and work songs. When the library's geography division put together a collection called ``Mapping the National Parks,'' it found maps of the areas going back 400 years, centuries before there was such a thing as a national park. It covers four parks, including the Acadia National Park in Maine, the first coastal park, and adds the appropriate nautical charts. Links from the Grand Canyon presentation carry the viewer to spectacular views of the site. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SLarry3595@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Dick's still singin' Date: 14 Jul 1999 14:58:13 EDT Don't forget his killer LP on Command "Songs I Like By Dick Van Dyke".

He was 85. Lapin, who had homes in New York City, Miami and Los Angeles, died Saturday of heart failure at a Los Angeles hospital, Hillside Memorial Park said today. Reddi-wip was first sold in 1948 by St. Louis milkmen. Distribution quickly expanded throughout the United States and Canada. One out of every two cans of aerosol topping now purchased in the United States each year is Reddi-wip. In addition to packaging Reddi-wip, Lapin's Clayton Corp. made and sold its own valves for the whipped cream enterprise. Clayton was one of the first companies to put shaving cream in an aerosol can, but Lapin decided not to market the product because he didn't want to compete with shaving cream makers who might buy his valves. Clayton and its subsidiaries make industrial valves and closures, caulk, adhesives and foamed plastic products such as insulation and cushioning materials. Born in St. Louis on Jan. 5, 1914, Lapin was educated at the University of Missouri and attended Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. Lapin lost control of Clayton and sold his interest in Reddi-wip, which is now made by Beatrice Foods Inc. in Waukesha, Wis. Beatrice is a subsidiary of ConAgra, the Omaha, Neb.-based food maker. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: bag@hubris.net Subject: Re: (exotica) The Singing Chickens Date: 14 Jul 1999 18:21:08 +0000 At 11:39 AM 14-07-99 +0100, you wrote: >Just kidding.

That Gap ad has done wonders for his career. Too bad he isn't here to enjoy it, but I hope Ms. Smith and Mr. Butera are getting something out of it. In addition to an Ultra Lounge double CD set, Sam Butera also has an Ultra Lounge CD. Then there is a CD featuring Ms. S and Mr. B (or is that 2 CDs? I didn't notice). Also there is a CD of apparently his pre-Capitol stuff. It looks like most of the material released by Bear Family in a boxed set is now on individual CDs directly from Capitol. Of course, this is only months after I bought the Bear Family set (with a faulty volume 1 CD...the best of the set!). Anyone seen or heard these ultra lounge singing CDs? Julie London also has a single CD in this "series." I understand Mrs. Miller is supposed to have one, but I haven't seen it. Also ran across a new issue of Peter Gunn on RCA which had not only the entire first album but several cuts from "More Peter Gunn" (which, of course, means that the rest of "More Peter Gunn" won't be released on CD).

Wouldn't you know I would find the record and the cover in TOP condition for 50 cents at one of Portland's bigger used record/CD stores. Ferrante and Teicher Latin Pianos UAS 6135 is certainly one of their better UA titles. While some of the tunes there were better done for either ABC/Paramount or Westminster (Oye Negra, for instance), all of the album is great. They do a little prepared piano and the rhythm parts from Don Costa's orchestra exploit stereo very well. The bonus was the inner sleeve which listed what I believe is the entire Ultra Audio series. There are 14 records, including 8515 which is a sampler of what came before (8500-8512). That means there may or may not have been and 8513 or 8514. Anyone know for sure? They may have been planning two more, but maybe UA pulled the plug? I do know several of them are well worth finding...two Terry Snyder, the Don Costa, Two Ferrante and Teicher and Al Caiola's superior "Guitars Woodwinds and Bongos" (which I have as re-released album called "The Good Life" I believe).

By the way, what is on the cover of the original issue of "Peter Gunn"? I have two copies, both with different covers and I find it hard to believe that either one was the original. One cover has a bunch of lopsided rectangles, mostly yellow or orange. The other cover is sort of turquoise blue and has no picture, just a couple of pink lines that sort of resemble lightning. That one sort of looks like the cover on my copy of "More music from Peter Gunn". So what cover am I missing?

The LP is Struttin and is absolutely wicked. Breaks, The Hand Clapping Song and non-stop quality throughout. I thoroughly recommend this one! Also, the name of the LP that I couldn't remember is Cissy Strutt and is also excellent - very very dirty sounding, moody and thick. Anyway - apologies for the OT post, Have a nice day!

Thank you, mkoldys, for clearing up two huge mysteries for me. The first was how it could be that the Premier company, better known for Grade Z labels like Parade and Coronet, ever came up with the glossy audiophile "Directional Sound" series to begin with. But the other mystery was "who is this John Evans guy, and why have I never seen anything else by him when he's obviously a pretty sizzling dude?" Now we know! The really funny part is that I even made a note to myself about the John Evans _Latin Brass_, "gets into Francis-Bay level hysteria on the uptempo tracks." (One of my earliest Exotica finds was a Bay record on Phillips with a truly artery-bursting version of "Mambo Jambo"--more than anything else, the inspiration for my sig line.) OK, that just leaves two other Directional Sound questions: Is bandleader "Don Catelli" (_Passionate Percussion_, etc.) a real person?

I have a copy of "Latin Brass" and this one has some tracks on it I cannot identify, so it probably isn't all Francis Bay. Similar to "Big Band Percussion" which is mostly Francis Bay but throws in a few tracks from the P.R.I. catalog by other bands. >Is bandleader "Don Catelli" (_Passionate Percussion_, etc.) a real person? And how did they get Nat Hentoff to go along with this charade to do the liner notes--or is that bogus too? I assume Don Catelli is also a pseudonymn, but I've never found a copy of the record so I haven't been able to compare it to other releases. There are certainly enough old percussion titles in the P.R.I. backlog to pick from! As for Nat, I'm sure he took the performer info he was given and assumed it to be correct; other than that minor fraud, his notes are really pretty good. By the way, if you want a chuckle, compare the names of the players given by Nat Hentoff with the genuine names as they appear on one of the Omega releases. They were actually fairly clever in Americanizing them and making them sound credible! PS: Check out the track "Bad and Beautiful" on the Chaino reissue CD. First you'll realize that it's actually a whole different song: that old standard, "Temptation". Second, it's not Chaino--it's Francis Bay doing his pseudo-Martin-Denny thing.

Featured prominently in the book is a lengthy entry by Eric Olsen on Del-Fi Records' president/owner and legendary producer Bob Keane, who produced a wide variety of popular artists -- including Ritchie Valens, Johnny=20 Crawford, and The Bobby Fuller Four -- during Del-Fi's original "golden decade" (1958-1968= ). The 77-year old Keane -- recently dubbed "The World's Oldest Teenager" by a clever music scribe --- still runs the legendary indie label, which is based=20 in Los Angeles and still thriving. Here's an excerpt from Olsen's entry about Keane's contribution to popular=20 music: "An archetypal Southern California figure, Bob Keane=92s fascinating career in music extends over 60 years, from the =9130s to the present.

A reception and book signing for The Encyclopedia of Record Producers will b= e held August 25th at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Interviewed recently by Cosmik Debris founder DJ Johnson, Keane discusses a whole array of topics, including his background as a big band/swing=20 bandleader in the 50's, dating Lana Turner (!), releasing Sam Cooke's first pop hit "Yo= u=20 Send Me," his production of Ritchie Valens and numerous obscure Del-Fi artists=20 (including Eden Ahbez, Larry Bright, others), and the theory that it was Keane himself=20 who killed Bobby Fuller (!!!). There are also quite a few photos accompanying th= e=20 piece.

Date: 15 Jul 1999 22:33:22 -0500 I have been lurking for several years on a few different music-related lists, but this is the only list subscribe to now, simply because . . . It's the best!!! You are so entertaining and informative and nice. And of course Exotica IS fantastic music and can only help the world! I have posted only a couple of times. My name is Paul, ePaul, and I am a college professor in Baton Rouge LA. I teach graphic design in the art department. I love art and graphic design and most of all MUSIC. I do a LOT of thrift shopping, and buy more records than I generally can listen to. Just today I bought a bunch of things, including an empty cover of these LPs: The Eddy Duchin Story Soundtrack (no sleeve) Maryland Club's Golden Moments with Martin Denny Bongos from the South, (Edmundos Ros and his Orchestra) Bossa Nova by Puente and The Best of Eddie Cano, His Piano and his Rhythm and after setting up a turntable by my computer (why didn't I ever do this before?!) and checkin' 'em out, I would have to say the The Best of Eddie Cano is the surprise HIT OF THE DAY! (I say surprise only because I didn't recall his name and only bought it for the cover). I have more or less listed the records in REVERSE order of what I perceive intuitly to be their "value". (In other words, the Eddie Duchin Story Soundtrack sucks!!! I guess I expected "jazz" of some sort, but jazz it ain't!) My favorite exotica record of all time is a 45, Walter Wanderley's Sad Samba / Jet Samba. Every time I play it I am wonderfully lost in it, and sometimes I play it over and over! Which makes me wonder, are there any other awesome, must have, exotica 45s ???

Well, I have 3 CDs by her. One is an EP from another LP that is basically all covers of French Ya-Ya songs. I think it has its charm, but her voice is perhaps a bit squeaky. Where she REALLY shines is on the "Chrominance Decoder" CD, which was given a thumbs down. However, I bought this in the States, and I know 3 other people who went out and bought it after I played it. It is THAT good. It is available in the States on Ideal records, but it was recorded for Tricatel, probably France's and maybe the world's best new pop label in Paris. The producer is Bertrand Burgelat, who has an unbelievably full production soun (perhaps "busy" as Bob refers to it). There is electronic trickery as well as just clean, full production. I think when she sings in French, she sounds less squeaky - her Yank twang does irritate. (and yeah, I'm American so I can say that without being "culturist" or whatever...)But this is one of my favourite LPs this year, and Tricatel is certainly my favourite label of the moment. There is an excellent Tricatel compilation called "Au Couer de Tricatel" that you should get if you like well-produced, modern pop. Burgalat has got to be one of the best producers on the go. He did wonders for April! I bought her earlier stuff on the basis of my love for this LP, but I don't think it is quite in the same league, although enjoyable. I have friends that saw her play live in LA and said she was DIABOLICAL. And based on that performance, one of my friends won't even LISTEN to her new LP! Hope that helps...

He has been described as "Tony Bennett on acid" or "Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan's love child." In the 1960s, he masterfully combined pscychedelia and lush orchestration via Wally Stott(thanks, Brian P.!), with a tremendous crooner-tone, a la' Jack Jones or(and this is controversial, even for me to believe it,but I do!) Andy...uh...Williams. His own sense of lyricism is surreal and majestic, like singing along to a Bergman film. He also is a brilliant interpreter of the great French singer and songwriter Jacques Brel. Razor and Tie put out the definitive IT'S RAINING TODAY comp...and all Scott's stuff has been reissued on CD, though on import only, I think. The best stuff is his first four albums and 'TIL THE BAND COMES IN. I also like the Walker Brothers, whose hit THE SUN AIN'T GONNA SHINE ANYMORE...you might have heard. A best-of anthology will suit ya'. And, as stated here a few weeks ago, if you can find JACK JONES SINGS MICHEL LEGRAND...then it is a missing Scott rekkid..oh, that and WILLIAM SHATNER!

Some people go nuts for his later stuff (which isn't really my bag) -- more like early 80's Bowie, kindof...supposedly his late 70's early 80's stuff inspired Bowie, Eno, and that gang. Must agree with Jane that the first 5 LPs are the best. I saw Jack Jones recently and he was amazing! His singing (in concert anyway) is better than ever. I was totally surprised at what a kick ass show it was. Check him out if you get the chance. And watch out for Jack's "Without Her" album. You can probably find it for $2 or less. Immediatly play the second song on the second side -- and you might think you had accidentally put on a Scott Walker LP!!!! Just recently picked up the import two-fer CD of Scott's early to mid 70's cover songs LPs "Stretch" and "We Had It All". Skip em unless you are hardcore.

As far as I know, that's the authoritative cover. >One cover has a bunch of lopsided >rectangles, mostly yellow or orange. I just found a copy of this a couple of months ago. I've seen *SEVERAL* DOZEN of the lightning dendrite cover in my time, but this was the first copy of Gunn like this I'd seen. I ended up grabbing it as it was only $1.50. The crazy thing is, this *very same* geometric cover art also exists as an alternate cover for the Three Suns' _Love In the Afternoon_ (the green "picnic" cover is the common one). A store up in Cleveland has a copy, but their stuff is way overpriced in general: all unmarked LPs are at least $10.50. It was a cool curiosity item, but not eleven-something (with tax) worth of cool. (If ANYONE has this, I'd *love* a scan for my Three Suns site) My geometric Gunn is mono, but the geometric LitA was stereo, and the Living Stereo logo had the same weird magenta/orange color scheme as the rest of the cover. I'm intrigued by alternate cover art, and I often wonder why it exists. In some cases, I can understand that they were changing from something less controversial (Arthur Lyman's shrunken head & volcano Taboo 2 covers, Morton Gould's Jungle Drums with the topless female behind the tree vs. the drums in the jungle, etc.). In some cases, like the Three Suns' _Midnight For Two_, I think the rarer cover with the romantic couple under the clock is much classier than the common couple-riding-on-a-broom cover. (And the fact that I've seen BOTH covers also as 7-inch EP sleeves doesn't give any clue as to which might have come first.) In both cases (Peter Gunn & Love In the Afternoon), the back cover art is identical to their more common counterparts. There's nothing to suggest they're foreign pressings or anything either. FYI: the Three Suns LPs I'm aware of with totally different cover variations: The Sound(s) of Christmas (two on RCA Victor, with a third for its Camden reissue) Easy Listening (two; early 50s and updated late 50s photo of lounging couple) Midnight For Two (two; aforementioned) Love in the Afternoon (two; aforementioned) Does anyone know of any others? I also need a scan of the painted cover art for the Christmas LP, if you can help out.

I think that RCA reissued a whole slew of LP's with this standard cover. I also have a Charles Mingus album "Jazz Experiment" on Jazztone with several instruments and Picasso's "Three Musicians" in the background, a design I saw on other albums on the same label. Although I like the art in both cases, I don't like the practice. It could lead to confusion, thus cheating the artist and it seems to serve the purposes of denoting which label the record is on ("A great label with one great cover!"), as well as saving a lot of time in the reissue department. I do, however, like the old Impuse! records, with the distinctive black and orange spines, easy to spot when stacked spine outward; the same goes for CBS' lines on the spine. Perhaps I have this bias due to my days of stocking Windham Hill and the dreaded Narada album covers. It seemed to be a New Age conceit.

Paris In April is wonderful! Songs sung in french by A March are fabulous. Her english songs remind me of great pop songs of 1965, I really like her voice for these songs, its quirky and raw for me. Chick Habit is generally a shorter version of Paris in April. April March and Los Cincos is her second to last album and came out in December if I remember correctly. This is indie pop, in an underproduced modern vein ala records on the Elephant lable. I like this album allot but it is very much modern soft indie pop. Chrominance Decoder came out in January I believe, and it is my second favorite album of this year. ( Azure by Louis Phillipe is my favorite, a modern day Pet Sounds) Bertrand Bergalat, who I believe may be associated with Louis Phillipe, did an amazing job producing these songs. As Jill Mingo pointed out there is some electronic trickery going on in the bacground of these songs but it does not interfere with the magnificant song writing and Aprils voice is right up front. This is a beautiful, haunting album and is quite different from Chick Habit. Slow melodic tunes weave beautiful pictures on Chominance vs 60's pop now sound go go on Paris In April. I did post on Chrominance and Los Cincos when they first were released but it is hard reading and remembering all the posts.

I believe it is a Japanese only release for the time being. They may be following the Ventures marketing strategy This is really a fun listen. Lots of new Gentle People songs that have the Gentle People sound. My first impression of Faboo was that the Gentle People are trying lots of new things. Its more produced. Some songs have more beats and more of an electronica feel on them. There is also ONE song that is straight 1978 disco. If you like disco this is really a good disco song. The songs do not ooze in dreamland as well as the Journey song off of their first album but they are many well written fun gentle peoplesque songs on this album. There certainly is the gentle stamp of the Gentle People at work here.

''Sting is an amazing artist and a great friend. His daring musical career and personal fearlessness in life echo some of the themes of this film,'' Brosnan said Wednesday in a statement. Brosnan plays a billionaire who steals a Monet painting, then falls in love with the investigator, played by Rene Russo, who is trying to solve the crime. It's a remake of the Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway movie, which got the best song Oscar in 1968 for composer Michel Legrand and lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman. === "It's just my nature to do weird stuff." - Les Baxter AstroSlut website: cuming soon! _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Carlson" Subject: (exotica) Obits I noticed: Whoopee and Soft Lights Date: 16 Jul 1999 19:56:01 -0400 Charles `Pete' Conrad, at 69 Was fun-loving space explorer By Marcia Dunn, Associated Press, 07/10/99 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Apollo 12 astronaut Charles ''Pete'' Conrad, the third man to walk on the moon and the only one to shout ''Whoopee!'' as he hopped onto its dusty surface, was killed Thursday in a motorcycle accident, leaving life the way he lived it: traveling fast. He was 69. Mr. Conrad crashed his 1996 Harley-Davidson on a curve along a winding mountain road near Ojai in Southern California and died at a hospital of internal bleeding from chest and abdominal injuries. Besides Apollo 12 in November 1969, Mr. Conrad flew two Gemini missions in the mid-1960s and commanded NASA's first space station, Skylab, in 1973. He later worked as an aerospace executive and formed a company aimed at making space flight as common as a jet ride. Six weeks ago, in an interview in advance of this month's 30th anniversary of the first manned moon landing, by Apollo 11, Mr. Conrad said he could not be happier and was looking forward to old age. ''Time flies when you're having fun, and I've been having fun for the last 30 years. I've been having fun for a lot longer than that,'' said Mr. Conrad, who lived in Huntington Beach, Calif. Apollo 11's Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, called Mr. Conrad a ''tireless pioneer ... enamored with `pushing the envelope.''' ''I didn't know anyone that was filled with more irrepressible enthusiasm and sense of humor and new ideas and general joy of life than Pete,'' said Sen. John Glenn. ''He'll be missed very much.'' Mr. Conrad always spoke his mind. To prove that NASA bureaucrats were not telling astronauts what to say when they stepped onto the moon, he bet an Italian journalist $500 that he would declare: ''That may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a hell of a step for me.'' Once he reached the moon, Mr. Conrad cleaned up his language, but the essence remained. ''Whoopee!'' he shouted as he descended the ladder of his lunar lander on Nov. 19, 1969. ''Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me.'' Born in Philadelphia, Mr. Conrad received a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering from Princeton University in 1953. He then joined the Navy and became a naval aviator. He attended the Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Md., and later served there as a test pilot, flight instructor, and performance engineer. NASA picked him for its second group of astronauts in 1962, three years after the seven original Mercury astronauts were selected. Mr. Conrad served as pilot of Gemini 5 in 1965, flying with Gordon Cooper. He went on to command Gemini 11 in 1966. His crewmate was Dick Gordon. As commander of Apollo 12, Mr. Conrad flew to the moon with Alan Bean and Dick Gordon. Mr. Conrad and Bean spent nearly eight hours exploring the lunar surface and 311/2 hours on the surface altogether, as Gordon circled the moon in the command module. Mr. Conrad retired from NASA and the Navy in 1973. But his passion for space exploration never diminished. Helen Forrest, at 82 Big-band vocalist known for wartime hits By Reuters, 07/13/99 LOS ANGELES - Vocalist Helen Forrest, who sang for such heavyweights as Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, and Harry James during the big-band era of the 1930s and '40s, died Sunday of congestive heart failure. She was 82. Among her best-known songs were such wartime hits with the James band as ''I've Heard That Song Before''; her signature song, ''I Had the Craziest Dream''; and ''I Don't Want to Walk Without You,'' which became an anthem for women left alone during World War II. She recorded more than 500 songs during a career that stretched into the 1980s. Along the way, she shared the bandstand with jazz legend Billie Holiday, crossed the color line to record ''Ghost of a Chance'' with Lionel Hampton and the Nat ''King'' Cole Trio, and teamed with baritone Dick Haymes for a series of hits and a long-running radio show. Especially good with a ballad, Ms. Forrest was known for her warm, melodic style and nuanced interpretation of lyrics. Describing her style, she once told Look magazine, ''I try to sing so a guy can picture soft lights and his girl.'' Ms. Forrest also appeared in several movies with James, with whom she was having a secret romance. But their affair ended after James met and fell in love with film star Betty Grable while all three were making the 1942 picture ''Springtime in the Rockies.'' James and Grable ultimately married, and Ms. Forrest left the James band to pursue a solo career. Ms. Forrest's big break came when clarinetist-bandleader Shaw heard her perform and offered her a job. In 1938 she joined his band as a co-vocalist with Holiday, and she remained with Shaw when Holiday quit to start a solo career. After Shaw broke up his band in 1939, Ms. Forrest segued onto the bandstand of another clarinetist-leader, Benny Goodman. In 1941, Ms. Forrest joined James's orchestra, where she flourished as an artist and recorded her biggest hits, in part because her singing style blended well with James's lush approach to ballads. The trumpeter built arrangements around Ms. Forrest and featured her as a star. At the peak of her career, Ms. Forrest was considered the finest white vocalist of her day. Ultimately, however, Frank Sinatra surged to fame with Tommy Dorsey's orchestra. After the big-band era, Ms. Forrest performed in supper clubs, on radio, and in the studio. A last album was released in 1983 by Stash Records. ccarlson@psn.net # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: bag@hubris.net Subject: Re: SV: (exotica) Quiet 78 Date: 16 Jul 1999 17:44:20 +0000 At 01:40 PM 16-07-99 +0200, Magnus wrote: >Did they make em [78s] that late?

I don't think that's controversial. I'm not going to say that Jack and Andy are interchangeable but they both have beautiful large voices, like Scott Walker. Jack's voice may get the edge in resemblance but Andy comes close enough to mention. For some reason, Jack comes off as somewhat "hipper" than Andy, despite who Andy was married to and the fact that he covered SO MANY unlikely sixties and seventies hits. Maybe it's because Andy covered so much sixties material that he almost seemed to be pandering or maybe it's just that Jack looks so much cooler than Andy. Anyway, back to Scott Walker. The other day we were listening to Scott doing "It's Raining Today" and there's this part where a "loudish" string section just hangs in the air behind the melody. It's part of what you might call Scott's "overt arrangements" and I said to my friend that if it weren't for that wall of strings, which is the kind of thing you'd never hear on a crooner record, it might just be Jack Jones we were listening to. And my friend Scott, the huge Scott fan, said "That's what I like about this. If Jack Jones did this, I'd like him a lot more". (He loves Jack, just not the way he loves Scott.) Anyway, most of the time that you hear some "rock guy" described in relation to crooners, such as "He's the Frank Sinatra of punk" or whatever, it would be a metaphor but not in this case. Scott Walker is a crooner who writes and arranges his own tunes. And boy does he arrange.

I looked at my brother, whom the clerk did not realize we were related, and said, "I don't think Jesus needs the money." The clerk was pissed but took my buck anyway.

Hey, I was about to write that too. Even if you find him a talentless and limp trumpet player (I don't), Chet Baker has a version on the "Let's Get Lost" soundtrack that's damn near close to heartbreaking. He plays for about 2-3 minutes, and just as you begin to think that it's a non-vocal track, his voice suddenly comes in. His voice, already whispery (and pallid to some) to begin with, is made even more frail and quavering by age and his addictions. A splendid version.

Judging by the records of his that I own, his material ranges from straight-ahead jazz to more mellow easy listening.

I'm not sure anyone mentioned Spanky. I love Brooklyn Bridge and other "Johnny Maestro" things too but I'm not sure he fits my definition of this stuff. The Association is pretty well at the center of it. And the only reason Bread might be left off a compilation is because it's too familiar. I'm pretty sure someone made a cassette of these things but I didn't get one. (Hint, hint.) I will be making my CDR of this kind of stuff as well as other CDR's later in the year and if that happens, I'll let you know.

It's funny you should mention this tune. I had the unpleasant experience of hearing Sting "sing" this on TV once. Maybe on SNL? I've often thought about it since, especially when hearing the definitive version - in my opinion - by Johnny Hartman. I do despise Sting's music but I would have agreed to ignore him if he hadn't taken on songs he has no business croaking. Sadly he now shares space in my liver (is that where bile is produced?) with Celine Dion and Steven Spielberg. BTW, speaking of songs people shouldn't sing, I am sad to say that I found this Johnny Hartman record from the early seventies where he covers songs like "By the time I get to Phoenix" and "Betcha by Golly Wow". It's not that he murders them exactly. And there are a few moments where you're reminded how great he is. But overall the record still makes me sad. I'll never understand how he managed to languish in the shadows.

"No other German has embodied the breakaway from the 50s into modern times so well as Charles Wilp. A Man Ray student, turned artonaut, Dokumenta 5 artist, photographer, an advertising conceptualist, conductor and a space age media artist. Whether spectacularly blowing up his racing car, building an UFO bungalow on the roof of his D=FCsseldorf home, or overcoming gravity in a NASA centrifuge simulator, the LP written in the Sun Year 1965, titled Charles Wilp fotografiert Bunny -- a light and floating melange -- has at Ata Tak's specific wish, been re-released as a CD. A world first in psychedelic TV advertising in 1969 -- 'Africola' showing three lightly clad women dancing behind a water covered screen (Amanda Lear's, Marsha Hunt's and Donna Summer's first TV appearance) -- Bunny was never available in the shops, but was produced together for 16 organizations which had contracted Wilp to create their company designs. Over 500,00 free record copies were distributed to employees and clients in the same companies. What is surprising about Bunny-Musik is the elegant stylistic assuredness and relaxed work out which is really unusual for a German orchestra. Peter Thomas made some close observations of these recordings, noting influences from A.C. Jobim, Frank Sinatra and Claus Ogermann. This possibly had to do with the hottest summer of the century in 1965, when this piece was composed. More probable is that Charles Wilp developed a feeling for music and space through his mother, who accompanied Richard Tauber through the world as a silent film pianist, as well as through encounters with the so called 'rocket men' he knew, including Karl Oberth, Paul Nebel, Werner von Braun, Fritz von Opel and Paul Valier. One thing however is certain - this record is too good remain unreleased ......... That opinion is shared by Daniel Miller, The Gentle People, Tipsy, Stereo Total, Thomas Fehlmann, A Certain Frank, Andreas Dorau, Schlammpeitziger, Stockhausen & Walkman and many others who have expressed willingness to make a remix for Charles Wilp. This will shortly be released under the name Michaelangelo in Space, a name shared by the space art module to be designed and built by Wilp as the first Art-in-Space Gallery as well the first Space Art Academy. This is to be docked onto the newly developed international ISS space station - which will of course include the CD onboard! The first CD in space!" $15.00 _____________________________________________ PHILIPS (BOOTLEG/EURO): DISSEVELT/KID BALTAN, TOM: Song Of The Second Moon LP (PHI 600047).

Date: 18 Jul 1999 15:59:38 -0400 Hello, everyone, I have about 60 days to completely empty my storage space/studio. It contains 10s of thousands of records, thousands of books, a real lot of miscellaneous stuff, and some other miscellany. The space is just under 1,000 square feet, ceilings only 6 feet high, and completely filled with steel shelving and boxes full of stuff, right up to the door. This circumstance also requires me to relinquish a substantial amount of "home" stuff also (records, books, furniture). I will be selling, giving away, throwing away, and trading (very little of that!). I will try to keep approximately 2 to 3% of the total, which is, as you collectors know, very little. That means i will sell a lot of interesting and some valuable material. Visitors/potential recipients can contact me at 718 488-7207 or email me. My first preference will be to move large quantities of decent and good and very good material at very low prices to single individuals/dealers, in order to clear as much material as possible ASAP. Future messages will contain lists of some items for sale. I will be putting some of this on ebay, but obviously in the alloted time and given the bulk and weight of much of this material (the minerals, for example), ebay will help me with paper ephemera and a small number of objects. I will begin weaving my plain white cotton undergarments soon, and will change my name to Citizen Gandhi. Just kidding.

The past couple of days I've been listening to Derek Smith and Ray Cohen's album Interplay-The Keyboard Sounds of Today!, arranged and conducted by Marty Gold (1966 RCA Vic LSP-3530). The album is a little easy, it's a little groovy, and it's a little funky. It would be a fairly standard issue except that Derek Smith plays the harpsichord, which adds something rather cool to the whole production. Anyone want to share a word or two about Mr. Derek & Mr. Ray? Did they do any later works with piano and harpsichord, maybe piano and something from the organ family. How about, piano and some big weird chromatic percussive instrument?

Duane Eddy 'Peter Gunn' -- should have had it for years, but I'm too mean to buy it full price. Who plays the Saxophone on these things? I love it its just so over the top. Anthony Newley -- I can't remember the title but the B-side has a great song about how his 'baby' spends the week ironing his socks, brushing his new suede jacket etc so that on Saturday night he looks great, set to a piano boogie not a million miles from 'Down the Road A Piece'. Of its era, shall we say. Tom Springfield Combo 'Brazilian Shake'/'Brazilian Blues' -- Absolutely wonderful, The A side is a version of Bighorillo, with frenzied Portuguese singing (I assume from Tom), with a 'Hucklebuck' type of beat underneath. The B-side is a cheesie rocking Organ track. The whole thing is from 1964. I can't imagine it was a hit and god knows how it went down with the Springfields Folky fans. All for about 50p.

Does anyone have an idea why the variation??? And why would The Exotic Trilogy change from Taboo on the first volume to Tabu on the second??? Ever curious, Tiki Bob P.S.

Who plays the Saxophone on these things? The guy's name is Jim Horn, and he's still playing. You can hear him on some tracks by country singer Vince Gill. But his work with Duane Eddy is the definitive bronchial sax playing... Duane Eddy's rebels also included Larry Knechtel on bass: he was the guy who (I think) played piano on Bridge over Troubled Water.

OK, I hope I remember all of this correctly: When you transform the native languages of Tonga, Hawaii and other South sea cultures into Western Latin letters, you have to do this based on how the sounds are spelled in a specific Western language. If you take English for example as the reference language you have to spell the word "taboo". However Hawaii, Tonga etc. chose German as their reference way back; the word pronounced as the English "taboo" would be spelled "Tabu" in German, which is how Hawaiians etc. actually write this word in their own languages today. In the special case of the actual word "Tabu" another fact might be interesting: The word came into Western culture by mistake: When Murnau made his film "Tabu" in Bora Bora in 1931, a little island next to Bora Bora played a significant role: It was the island of the gods and no man was allowed to enter it. It was called Tapu. Despite native threats Murnau did enter the island and built a house for himself on it. Because he did not die immediately he was seen by the natives as a kind of god after that. Later though, the hut burnt down mysteriously (none of the natives admitted having done it, they claimed "it was the gods"), and after his return to America Murnau died in a car crash soon after the making of this film, his last one, "Tabu". The word however became a synonym for "forbidden, sacred" from then on. > And why would The Exotic Trilogy change from Taboo on the first volume to > Tabu on the second??? You have to ask that KBZ 200; I can only guess: either because they want to use the term as it is used in the south seas as a kind of respect to those people or simply because they, the makers of the Exotica Trilogy, live in Berlin, Germany. ???

Ah - the other lp I picked up was Astrud Gilberto: The Shadow of Your Smile. On Verve, and not bad, though not so good as recordings with husband and Getz. Oh Christ - almost forgot.

We went to visit our friends TGTH and Cerin0 who host two very strange programmes every saturday. TGTH's program begins at 11PM and goes on until 1AM.... it's called "Ai confini della realta'", which literally means "At the borders of reality" (but this is the Italian title for "The Twilight Zone" :)))) and he uses the opening voices from Twilight Zone). This program consists in all sorts of weird music, ranging from dark ambient/isolationism to gabber/hardcore techno. He sometimes plays not-so-obscure electronic stuff like Orbital or Spring Heel Jack, but alway in -er- let's say *a unique mixing style* :) He often has guests playing with old home computers or things like that. So this time Shadrach presented a track from his new cd single "La tua faccia/Soli" (sort of Prodigy meets punk rock with Italian lyrics) which is coming soon on cd-r on my label Kutmusic; I carried various cds and some vinyl 7". We used large bits of PLU's "Hate people like us" (TGTH played a lot with Coil's voice on Vicki Bennet's answering machine while I played most of the Negativland track and other bits... especially some of the lounge samples ;))))) Here's a list of the vinyls (all weird Italian 7"'s which I find in flea markets) I used: -Franco Micalizzi "Albert e l'Uomo Nero" dark soundtrack music from a 1976 (probably horror-themed) Italian tv-movie... -Liriche d'amore dell'Antica Cina: a collection of translated Chinese love poems from 1956. -Pino Calvi "Enigma" - more tv soundtrack music, but from 1980. -L'Ingegner Giovanni e Famiglia (!!!) - "Telstar / Solaris". Ehm... two covers of funny electronic tracks (dated January 1973!!!) -Tony Ranno "Fregami": useless, ridiculous pop/rock singer from early 80's. The title sounds like "Cheat on me" but it might also mean "Fuck me"... ;)))))))))) some atmospheric keyboard stuff at the beginning but I used it for the lyrics. -Roberto Cotumaccio "Sognando la mia citta'" - even more useless 1988 promotional disc with a song about my town, Pescara. Pretty ridiculous. We also stayed for Cerino's techno/gabber program (1AM-2AM) and had fun watching him and TGTH stopping the music to scream in the microphones (Cerin0 does also a great imitation of the computer's voice from Wargames saying "Hello, Professor Falken" ;))))) A nice way to spend a saturday nite. :) p.s. yesterday TGTH told me that some of his listeners called him to ask about the weirdo manipulating vinyl during his show... ;)))) bye, Nicola (Dj Batman) Battista Kutmusic http://members.xoom.com/kutmusic Dj Batman World Headquarters http://www.olografix.org/djbatman # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Thinkmatic@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Hudson Brother/s Date: 19 Jul 1999 16:48:11 EDT I haven't heard anyone mention the Hudson Brothers in 20 years and then someone here on the good ship Exotica spoke of them.

The first Derek & Ray record that I came upon was The Keyboard Sounds of Today! (RCA 3665) not to be confused with the one you mentioned which shares the same title. After being overwhelmingly enthusiastic about this album I grabbed three other D&R records including the one you have, Interplay, and I must admit I was a little disappointed. The Keyboard Sounds Of Today is a rockin' good time in that sort of NowSound, kinda Mod, Hip, happening way. The other albums just don't live up to it and it's not so much that they do anything that different it's rather a question of song selection. Excellent versions of The Green Hornet Theme, The Work song and Modesty Blaise theme not to mention Spanish Flea and Delicado. So, what is it about the harpsichord being a central element to that Groovy sixties sound. Where on earth did that come from? Wasn't there a sixties groovy look that called for wearing Baroque styled garb, you know frilly cuffs and the like, you think the harpsichord sound was a part of this? Anyhow back to Derek and Ray. I have a Derek Smith album where he plays Piano, Harpsichord and Organ (Lowrey I think). The organ cuts are the best the rest is a bit too like jazz, real jazz. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Thinkmatic@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Two More Caucasians Date: 19 Jul 1999 20:49:35 EDT Well "The Keyboard Sounds of Today!"

"Night train, that took my baby far away.." and " My mama said I'd loose her if I'd ever to abuse her..." Ok, so she's gone, meaning.. he did abuse her!

Some people might have run across the problem of needing to connect a turntable to something (amp, powered speakers) that only has line-level inputs. Or if you want to be like Jane Fondle and go for the dual-table setup, where do you plug in the second one? Well, you jump from the cigarette-pack-sized phono preamps that sell for about $25 (I got a Taiwanese one from Pfanstiel which frankly sucked), straight to the $100-200 audiophile models--which just sounded like way too much money to me. So I did some research, ordered about twelve bucks worth of parts from http://www.mouser.com, and built my own--which to my eternal amazement seems to work and sound fine. I don't consider myself to know very much about electronics at all, but if you have some background in soldering-type projects I could probably talk you through it. Email me off-list for details. This came from me wanting to have the turntable go directly into the computer, for burning CD-Rs. The way things had been set up, I needed to sprint off to the next room every time I wanted to lift the tonearm. . . cheers, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Society for Commercial Archeology hits Kahiki Date: 20 Jul 1999 03:25:41 EDT thought some of you in the Ohio area would be interested in this: > SOCIETY FOR COMMERCIAL ARCHEOLOGY MEETS IN COLUMUS, OHIO, AUGUST > 19-21 Do meals seem to taste better to you in a 1950s diner?

About 130 pages filled - in full-colour - with lots of beaufiful covers. Not specifically aimed at an exotic audience, but I don't think that anyone of us can resist the records that are pictured in this book. Special section of designs by Jim Flora.

Both valid, both archaic as verbs. In the sense that each verb is gender specific, you are correct to distinguish difference between them - but they do indeed "mean" to the same thing (application of one or the other differ depends upon who's doing the thing).

Well, to add to your Lyman trivia file, I've got a non-gatefold stereo copy (via Canada, apparently); and even weirder, I found a stereo gatefold one (with the techie stuff inside) re-titled "Percussion Spectacular!". It is otherwise identical to the regular _Yellow Bird_, Lava and everything--just the title is changed. The name change is pretty goofy, since _YB_ generally tends more towards the restrained and sensitive.

Unfortunately the title song and most of the tunes tread either in sap-flowing Manilow territory or synth-lounge, with a few ok jazz standards thrown in, but his voice seems a bit strained. The only highlight I guess is a lame tribute to adultery called "The Other Woman, The Other Man ("play our games, tell our lies, and synchronize our alibis").

It wouldn't surprise me that if this art was used on two Living Stereo-era LPs, it may have been used on a third or even more. Who was the artist for Overture, Overture (or was it various artists)? Maybe one of us have even seen that one under a different cover.

What's with these guys? >Their incredibly fake smiles and squinty eyes.... I don't know that particular photo but I do know the record where they're standing on the surface of the moon and I can see your point. But I think their evil grimaces have more to do with their general physical resemblance to our conception of the devil than a reflection of their true attitudes. They look like devils but I'm not sure they are. Then again, if you've ever heard Ed - on his own - singing "Yesterday", it brings new meaning to the concept of regret. I have another Ames Bros record that you might look for if you want to assuage your fears. "Sweet Seventeen". They're not on the front cover but there's a group shot of them singing on the back cover and they look like sweet little angels... sort of. Or the devil and his coven as young men. I have a record of Ed doing all Bacharach-David covers. It's actually worth it but mostly so I could finally hear a vocal version of "Nikki" which I had fallen in love with from an instrumental version by Vinnie Bell. Anyway, there's a picture with Bacharach wearing an Ames Bros T-shirt. Did Burt once do arrangements for the little devils? I get the feeling Burt sold his soul and this record was part of his payback.

Peter Gunn Date: 21 Jul 1999 15:35:52 -0400 Hi Jane, Even though my show is called Martinis with Macini I am no Mancini expert. So I've been checking out some sites. I haven't listened to Peter Gunn through for over a year now and will tonight. This is a link to the Mancini web page that has the Peter Gunn covers, including 2 More Peter Gunn (PG)covers. (I gave the wrong one last time) http://www.rudyscorner.com/mancini/mancini1.html They mention that a vocal version of PG appears on Our Man In Hollywood, I don't think I have that record. And if it is on that record and I listenend to it I might have to agree with you that it is schlock. I don't like everything he has done. Sarah's PG vocal version is very punchy and in the spirit of the original. It's very short, under 2 minutes, any longer and it might get tireing. Another question or comment. I don't like everything Sarah has done. Does anyone have the Brazillian Romances, I think that's the title, by Sarah Vaughan? Bossa Nova with that Brazil 66 guy, I thought it would be a winner and was dissapointed. Elevated expectations maybe. Have to try it again. > >To paraphrase Ed whazzisname, "you are INCORRECT sir."

Is he cool? Magnus >> I think he was a back up singer. He may have been a "she" because I read somewhere that Les was short for "Leslie". Somewhere else I read "Les" was short for 'Lesbo" and that he worked on a Vampire film or something. Additionally, this Les guy supposed stalked some dude named Marty because Marty came into his town one night and made a bunch of noises (supposedly sounding like monkey noises) and woke everybody up. It was in upstate New York in an area famous for camping. The camp ground Les owned (or was visiting) was called "Tranquil Village". I think they filmed part of the movie "Dirty Dancing" there. The situation supposedly got worse when Les' girl friend, Amy, left Les to hang out with this Marty guy. The two of them got drunk and that Amy girl went thru town kind of yodeling while Marty made these freaking animal noises. The final part of the story has Amy and Marty teaming up with some dude that ran Elliot's Cement Mixer Company and dumping a whole load of cement on Les' 1951 Buick Special. I guess the bad thing was that Les and Marty turned out to be friends which had known each other for years and this incident ruined their friendship forever. Les ended up living with a bunch of poor people in Paris (Texas, not France) and the Marty dude retired to Hawaii and opened a string of restaurants (with a tiki or Chinese motif -- I can't remember). He ended up becoming partially disabled when a wall of fake lava fell on him at Don Ho's stage in Honolulu. He was helping long time friend "Ketch" Ketchamori (or Ketchamoni or something like that) set up the stage with the new lava rock motif. The "Ketch" guy was actually killed and Don Ho stopped singing his "Tiny Bubbles" song for about 6 months because "Ketch" was the one that helped make the song famous -- by blowing bubbles believe it or not! Sorry if the details of this are sketchy. I saw it on an A & E Biography about 6 months ago. If any List members, new or old, would care to expound on this I know we would all be grateful.

I think there are some parameters to the range of music discussed but not one you could really put into words. Maybe Ross could. A lot of the music discussed is instrumental music and most of that music was either made in the late fifties to late sixties or influenced by that kind of music. It might be somewhat more "accurate" if this were called the Space-Age BP list but who cares what it's called as long as it's kind of very vaguely clear what kind of stuff we talk about. I wouldn't mind it if we changed the name to the Jack Diamond Memorial mailing list. And to me, exotica is not music that originates from the tropics. It's a VERSION of music that may have originated in the tropics. It's an exaggerated, bastardized version. Exotica is "true" to the tropics in approximately the same way that Hawaii Five-Oh was. And if you're going to talk about Hawaii Five Oh, eventually you have to talk about Sammy Davis Jr's version of the theme song with lyrics, "You can count on me". And if you're going to talk about Sammy, eventually you'll get to Scott Walker and from there to Lee Hazelwood and Claudine Longet.

Personally, I will gladly trade away the one or two Frank Chacksfield LPs that have found their way into my collection. But Edmundo Ros??? This is the man who released "Latin Love In"!

It goes very nicely on a breezy day with "A Cool Shade of Blue" from The Mancini Touch, driving around with the top down on the convertible, sipping your favorite libation, with your favorite love by your side.

I found this CD in the cellar, in purgatory if you will, at a place called Pitchfork Records in New Hampshire. According to the sticker its been their since 4/17/98. OST written by Tom Waits. Duets and solos with Crystal Gail. That guy in Cleveland would say it's a jazz record because Jack Sheldon , Teddy Edwards (?) on sax and Shelly Manne (!) are some of the musicians on the selections, I would kinda agree, some sections are very low-key jazz inspired orchestral. Some are duets with jazz trio, one with Waits on piano and Gail on vocals. One solo Gail track almost sounds country with twangy guitar by someone named Dennis Budimir. A funky tango. The more I listen the more I like. Their must be folks on the list who are into Tom Waits. I few days before I found this I met a fellow who said Waits was a god. (He sounded like he may have capitalized god, I won't) I could get into Waits music. I have a few already. My wife said I was "weird" for listening to Crystal Gail.

This Francis Ford Coppola film was basically a disaster financially and critically but I am one of the few who loved it. At the time anyway. It was his twist on the idea of a musical. Rather than having the actors onscreen do the singing, the story is narrated by the "offscreen" songs. Tom sings the man's point of view and Crystal the woman's. The film was also very "stylized" so that it resembled an old fashioned musical in other ways. And as far as Crystal's presence on the record, at the time she was basically known for being the younger sister of whatever country songbird she's the younger sister of. But I believe she'd done "Don't it make your brown eyes blue" by that point too. I always assumed she was chosen because her smooth voice was such a contrast to Tom's lovely croak and so it helped exaggerate the contrast between the character's points of view. The couple, I think, were played by Frederic Forrest and Terri Garr. I can imagine Frederic Forrest singing something like Tom Waits. And I'm pretty sure Nastassja Kinski was in it as the "other woman". I think I'm going to have to rent it and see it again.

His name is Craig Stepneski and he has The Record King in Hackensack NJ. He has been in the vinyl collecting/selling business for about 25 years. I sent him an email after seeing his site at a search engine results. He emailed me back in no time and had the information on the (somewhat obscure) needle replacements . I later called him to place the order and was amazed about his knowledge and resources to obtain needle replacements. He made it sound like what he didn't have he could get in no time. And the whole time I am talking to him, music is playing in the background and he is says once or twice, "Hold on. I'm making some cassette copies." Does this sound familiar???? Anyway, he seems like a great guy, takes charge cards for orders and was a pleasure to deal with. Knows all about my (our) man Denny and that make it even better in my book. I would (obviously) recommend him to others on the List who might need his services. I did not inquire about his vinyl offerings (bonk!) but that will need to be explored in the future.

Army the other day paid off fairly well. Most of records were straight jazz, all were in pristine condition (the parents must have kept them out of reach of kids like me). The ones that I will mention are: Arthur Lyman: The Leis of Jazz. AL LPs seem to be popping up everywhere these days. I've been looking for this one for ages, mostly for the neat-o cover, I will admit. It's actually an enjoyable record - no bird calls, just vibraphone/marimba dominated jazz. The last song on the 1st side, Autumn Leaves, is a vocal sung by Ethel Azama. Multi-Trax: America is Hard to Find/A Rock Opera (1970). AKA Daniel Berrigan: anti-war activist, hippie, ordained priest. Side 1 is an intro - dedicating the record to "good freaks everywhere," and several, uhm, poems. Though Fr B's heart was/is in the right place, the lingo is a gas. Side 2 is the rock opera. More Berrigan lyrics to conga, bongo, guitar, etc. Some are fun: "America is Hard to Find" is read with a powerfully exaggerated rural suthun accent ("Hod t' fan"). So on. Obaile do Carequinha (SOM, SOCP 40.474 Stereo, Sao Paolo, 1969): This one is interesting. Carequinha is a slight clown, not quite a dwarf, yet likely not 5'6". He sings in a squeaky pitch, backed by a chorus of children (if I could knew Portugese, I might read that the record is the ST to a children's morning show...)on most of the songs. He is backed up by Os Falcoes Reais. And they are fantastic. The cover features them in matching red blazers, skinny red ties, Beatle-do's on a couple - wielding an electric single neck 12 string, a wedge bodied guitar and a Farfisa organ, fronted by aforementioned clown and seated youngsters. All tracks are either fuzzed out garage rockers, or melodic Shadows-Atlantics "surf" sounding. The last song on the record, The Millionaire (perhaps the theme to the series... dunno), is an echoey, melodic instrumental that I can only compare to The Atlantics. This one is doing allot of time on the turntable. Of Os Falcoes Reais (something falcons?) I was only able to decipher that they were formed from the youth of the city of Barra Mansa in the State of Rio and then "o mesme que atua em seus programes televisao." (Same as something something tv prgrams?). If we have any Portugese speaking lurkers, I'll be happy to key in text for translation. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Here is the URL: http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~petehip/home.html I think it was his post about the pages that started the phase 4 thread, that came back through studio 2 to the same place. Indeed they are both mighty diverse labels. Mighty and Diverse. You would have to be a complete completist to want the lot on either, I wouldn't buy anything on either label just because it was on the label. But there are some really great records on both. I think my favourite Studio 2 release must be (something like) 'Norrie Paramor plays the hits of Cliff Richard and the Shadows in a Latin Style'. But maybe it would be David Rose 'Holiday for Strings'. I don't know. Depends on the time of day. One more thing, I've said it before, there is no-one on the list with grounds for criticising anyone else on the list on the grounds of taste, look what you've signed up to for Christ's sake. Next thing you know he'll be calling Lou 'Doctor Death', and then where will we be...............

Anyone know how to deal with, (or rather, deal down), dinosaurs that are sitting on treasure but charge twice their weight in gold? I found a guy that wants $50 for Other Worlds, Other Sounds!

It must have been a mighty diverse label...Jimmy Yeah, if you bought everything on it you'd be pretty disappointed indeed. The Sound Gallery comps give a false impression of the label overall. The old Studio 2 compilations (which have been rereleased on CD - avoid!) often give an idea of some of the range. They turn up frequently in the UK with names like 'Impact!', 'Sound Explosion!'(?), 'Breakthrough' and 'Constellation', and have only about two playable tracks each. Basically the label was anything that wasn't pop/rock. Decca Eclipse is less varied as far as I know, being mostly classical and more relaxing stuff like Stanley Black (Cuban Moonlight, Tropical Moonlight etc), Werner Muller's more gentle stuff etc. Decca Phase 4 is varied, being anything recorded in high-fidelity and with colourful diagrams of the mixing desk on an insert if you're lucky. Music For Pleasure has another 'interesting' range. (Just got Alan Moorhouse 'Mancini, McCartney and Mendelson Go Marching' but haven't risked playing it yet... 'Beatles, Bach and Bacharach Go Bossa' is quite nice though... ) It's another 'anything goes' label.

Most of the "desirable" Studio 2 records have one killer track, and the rest is The Saccharine Strings sound. However, even the really lousy S2 albums benefit from the amazing recording techniques and sound great. When you want a dose of that lush British string sound, Studio 2's your ticket.

There are plenty of things discussed on this list that I don't care to listen to, so I don't comment on them. Granted, Martin Denny and Bob Wills are not necessarily mentioned in the same breath, but if you look at the back of Exotica, they call Denny's music "Jazz" and let's face it, Western Swing is a type of Jazz as well. I find it most fascinating to find the connections because the differences are so easily seen. Is Western Swing music Exotica? No. Is it a form of music that is a light into a culture that is different from my own, with some roots in same culture? Yes. While the term "Exotic" is by definition, "Foreign", the C&W side of Western Swing is in a small sense, exotic. But I see that you may not run out and find the collection that I suggested. That's fine, too. Get Delerium in Hi-Fi by Andre Popp. I recommend it (I found it for three bucks!) and it is not the least bit Garth Brooks-ian or Crystal Gayle-esque (artists, if you must know, I don't care for and own no music by) By the way, if you could see the fellow that is posting this, you would see a fellow that would rather not deal with smelly old rednecks, however, I found that not all rednecks are racists. Some are quite nice, perhaps nicer than myself. I had to rethink how I listened to music, for the same voices that I had heard on old films talk about who they did and didn't want in their schools, were then singing with the same accents and therefore I had a visceral reaction to any C&W because of it. When I got past that, I found some songs that I liked but I still cannot call myself a fan of the genre. In conclusion, sorry you didn't dig the post, but if you really don't, e-mail me privately (that goes for everyone) and we can hash it out away from everyone else. This list does indeed take some twists and turns, but to paraphrase an old Calypso song it usually is fun to jump into the saddle and hold onto the bridle. Let's all be nice to each other on the 'Net.

Another round of the "what is exotica?" question? Oh dear. Well, the links to the FAQs have already aired. But I'll throw in my two ducats... "Exotica" is used in different senses around here. In its strict definition -- and boiled down very briefly, Exotica is mood music incorporating elements evoking non-European/North American regions. However, the list itself has a much wider scope, following our collective curiosity for unknown music wherever it may lead. Perhaps a selective quote from Lazlo's "welcome to the list" letter is in order (presuming Lazlo doesn't mind (it's worth the emphasis, it seems)): ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: The Exotica mailing list is a forum for people interested in unusual music, primarily that from the 1950s and 1960s. There is no hard and fast definition of "Exotica" as the distinction is primarily in the eye (and ear!) of the collector. Just keep in mind that the primary focus of this mailing list is the *unusual*. ... If you're still not sure what the list is about, lurk for a week or two and see what's happening. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This is not to say that everything discussed on the list is exotica itself. It just happens to be the name of the list (and the strict genre is one of the core elements of interest). The core lesson I have taken from (or had emphasized by) the list is to listen to ANYthing with open ears and without prejudice. Even if I don't actually like it, I may learn something from it. And as Brian has said, following the unlikely connections can be very illuminating. And hey, someone in north-eastern Asia may find rural North American music to be very exotic. As has been pointed out here long ago, "what is exotic" depends largely on point of view. For someone living in Bali, gamelan isn't the least bit exotic. Exclusions simply do not fit our free-ranging explorer agenda. And if one wants to throw around flame-bait for its own sake, some kiddy-punk newsgroup would be a much better forum. Two more items... Johan? Did you ever get any response out of those people who, er, appropriated your word "Exotiquarium" for their book?

They could be as folky as they could heavy. REM does a bunch of VERY folky VU covers, which I had no idea. And besides, a lesson we've learned a billion and one times on this list, a good tune transcends all genres, arrangable in any style. Witness Caravan. As for anyone anywhere dissing anybody (except, I suppose Celene Dion :) )as a pile of shit, I really don't think this is the list for you. This list, like the other lists I am part of, is exceptional, only because it leaps librarian-driven category boundaries, drawing links between all sorts of music. Besides, I've had to sit through lengthy discussions of Soft Pop, Humpa music and Lee Hazelwood, none of which interests me particularly, none of which could be said to be Exotica in the narrow definition, but none of which I minded, because it was obviously important to some of the wide-minded, friendly and exceptional individuals on the list. Which means that probably, it ought to be important to me. I'm more than willing to learn a bit more about Bob Willis and the Texas Playboys, especially if they've wrangled a version of Caravan. Or maybe Diga Diga Doo. :) Peter _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Any genre that embraces yodelling, spacey pedal steel guitars, jazzy accordian solos and electrified mandolins is going to be exotic. No way around it. Judging all country music by Garth Brooks is like judging all rock music by Vanilla Ice, or all classical music by Zamphir master of the pan flute. In short... Your ignorance is showing. Western Swing is one of my passions. If anyone is looking into this area, here are some good CDs to be on the lookout for... *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Stratosphere Boogie: The Flaming Guitars of Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant (Razor & Tie) This is the most aggressively *weird* music in the genre. Crazy pedal steel swoops and jazzy guitar picking. This is the perfect introduction to someone who likes their music loopy and cartoony. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Smile & Jive: Kings of Western Swing: 2 vols (Charly) Good introduction to the genre. Nothing particularly obscure, but a good solid selection. Another good one like this is the Fremeaux and Associates collection titled Western Swing: Texas 1928-1944. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Hillbilly Boogie (Columbia) Great collection of stuff you can't get anywhere else but on this collection. I wish they would release more of this little known stuff. The liner notes on this release are fun too. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys: Tiffany Transcriptions: 10 vols (Rhino/ Kaleidoscope) If there is a bible of Western Swing, this is it. These radio transcriptions are excellent live performances captured in crystal clear sound. I can't imagine anyone not liking this stuff. The Rhino two disc Anthology is great too, focusing more on studio recordings. Bob Wills is one of those amazing people like Cab Calloway, Prez Prado, Louis Jordan, Frank Sinatra and Fats Waller. Nothing he did was ever without merit. Even sitting in a wheelchair fixing to die, Bob could rustle up some swing. I noticed someone mention the Longhorn and final recordings, and I agree they are sad, but in a bittersweet sort of way. When you look at them in the context of the greatness of this guy, they are a nice way of him saying "so long". Other related bands of interest are Bob's best singer, Tommy Duncan and his Western All-Stars, Bob's brother Johnny Lee Wills, and the most interesting of all, Billy Jack Wills, who was able to blend elements of Be-Bop with Western Swing. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Spade Cooley: Spadella! (Columbia) Spade Cooley was quite a character. At the peak of his career he stomped his wife to death with the heel of his Nudie cowboy boots and was sent to San Quentin. His band included a 50s TV style organ and a harp! He was Bob Wills's main competition, and he could give him a run for his money when he got swinging. Spade's singer, Tex Williams (who Spade fired for "having a swelled head") became famous for the song, Smoke, Smoke Smoke that Cigarette. He has some great solo CDs out too. The Vintage Capitol Collection and the live radio broadcasts on the RFD label are the best. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Adolph Hofner: South Texas Swing (Arhoolie) Adolph Hofner is an unknown gem of an artist. He was popular until WWII hit, then he couldn't get a job because of his unfortunate first name. He has one cut where he synthesizes Western Swing and his native Polish folk music! The lyrics are in Polish and the song is a sort of cowboy polka. Astounding stuff. Great jazzy guitar and mandolin licks. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies: 5 vols (Texas Rose) This collection is a time capsule. The music isn't as sparky as some of the other bands, but the range of music is impressive. My favorite song on this set has lyrics that go... "I can tell by your face, you're a member of the monkey race. I can tell by your hands that you have monkey glands. You're bound to look like a monkey when you get old!" Where else do you get lyrics like that? *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Hank Garland and his Sugarfooters (Bear Family) There isn't a lot of Hank Garland out there, but his guitar playing is fantastic. His vocals are fun too. This is quintessential "chickin pickin". Nice peppy organ backing too. Other great guitar pickers include Chet Atkins and Merle Travis. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Kenny Roberts: Jumpin' & Yodellin' (Bear Family) This is some of the most astounding yodelling you will ever hear. This guy is a martian! Other great cowboy yodellers include: Elton Britt, Roy Rogers, and Slim Whitman. All of them are worth a listen. In general, the earlier the recording, the better the yodelling. (Roy Rogers was the only one I know of who kept his yodelling chops until the day he died... although you wouldn't know it from some of his later recordings.) *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# Hank Thompson: All Time Greatest Hits: 2 vols (Curb) Hank Thompson and his Brazos Valley Boys have a huge discography on Capitol. The Bear Family complete box set is great, but these two budget priced CDs collect all the hits. Thompson was the king of the mixed metaphor. Listening to him drawl his way through "I Got a Humpty Dumpty Heart" and "Waiting in the Lobby of Your Heart" can't help but make you smile. Other good Hank CDs are the live radio broadcast discs on RFD and Flyright Fly labels, and the Varese Sarabande collection of later Warners material. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*# >PS I'm sure that there are several other categories which I am >sure should also be included in an exclusion list. Never exclude anything until you know about it. My theory is that 90% or more of everything is crap. If you stick to one genre, you will spend most of your time listening to the crap. Better to be a musical honeybee getting nectar from all kinds of different flowers. Open your mind and your ears will follow. If you have plumbed the depths of your particular preferences, check out country music. There is a lot there that you wouldn't expect. Western Swing is one of the best.

The amazing BasicHip first got me onto this radio jingle world. These jingles are tops. A genius put together the Anita Kerr Singers with radio jingles for WLS, a station that carried to 48 states. While I'm at it did any one ever catch the great Beacon Street Show out of Little Rock with Clyde Clifford. Another show that you could hear in Chicago or New Orleans.

It's a pretty >>interesting >> book about a Scot travelling around Texas in search of >>authentic >Western >> Swing. I've not read it, but I can tell you about Duncan McLean's reading in an Austin bookstore. The place was packed to the rafters, since Western Swing is cherished by many Texans -- including some of the Butthole Surfers, who showed up to hear McLean read. (They're also regulars at Broken Spoke, the dance hall 'round the corner from me. That's right -- Gabbie two-steppin' along with the cowboys and software developers and chip engineers and game designers.) McLean was of course thrilled to be among us ignorant smelly rednecks. I think Texas sort of overwhelmed him, but then that happens even to the natives. God knows sometimes it stumps me after five years here. His visit was capped by two events: First was a call at the Bob Wills Museum in Wills' hometown of Turkey. It's in the Texas Panhandle, high plains country, and to reach Turkey most people pass through Matador and Floydada, the Pumpkin Capital of the United States. The museum, run by Wills' daughter, has sheet music, photos, fiddles, hats, boots, recordings (yes eXoticats, see real Bob Wills records there!) and other Texas Playboys' memorabilia. The last weekend in April is Bob Wills Day, actually held a day and a night but then we ignorant smelly rednecks can't count too good either. If you make the pilgrimage, stay at the Turkey Hotel, a fine old place where Wills played in the 20s. Second, as he told it, McLean had an near-religious experience in Lubbock, where a larger than life statue of Buddy Holly towers above the lone-star studded Texas Walk of Fame right in front of city hall. You can visit that any hour, but be forewarned that Lubbock can get pretty rough. Lubbock is also home to Holly's grave, marked with a simple stone memorial. If I remember right, McLean left flowers there, as do lots of fans. Draws a heavy contingent of visitors from the UK. McLean did not leave flowers but paid his respects at the statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn, on the banks of the river that splits Austin in two. McLean was engaging, kind, open, and touching. If his book reflects that personality -- and the sample he read did -- it's probably well worth reading. Wills figures briefly in a chapter or two about the Western Swing scene around Tulsa, OK, in the 20s and 30s in a bio: _Suits Me, the Double Life of Billy Tipton_ by Diane Middlebrook. Billy Tipton was a woman who wanted play the bandstand but couldn't get gigs wearing her dress. So she lived her life as a man, marrying three or four women, adopting two sons, leading his own bands, recording a couple of records in the 50s. Only when he died did many of his most intimate associates, including his sons and most of his ex-wives, learn he was a woman born. Highly recommended to anyone who wonders, How did Billy pull it off? Good stuff too about the American itinerant musician's life from the 20s-70s. Just saw Stephen Worth's muy fabuloso Western Swing list. Go git 'em, pardner! A big thank you, sir, for your recommends. Now do I spend that $100 of mad money that just blew in on CDs or as a partial payment on a Nitty Gritty? Ooh, a luscious dilemma!

There are Romanian pressings of Zamfir, playing traditional music with the national orchestra and with a cymbalum player, that would make any exotica person scream yee-ha! Hot, virtuosic, exciting, exciting (look for a cut called "dragon's breath" in romanian). Plus his records (more than 1) of panpipes and organ, playing superb klezmer music. And, BTW, a few of his "classical" recordings are truly great interpretations. Look, there was even a great ocarina soloist at the beginning of the century, playing all sorts of music, and rocking! Yes, a lot of Zamfir recordings are schmaltz, but as you probably know, a LOT of the people discussed on the list recorded a LOT of mediocre material, and then, some gems! You might be right, that the statements are ignorant, but it also sounds like someone trying to get a rise (he got it!)... on the other hand, from a certain purist perspective, birdcalls and south sea islands and running streams is pretty far from Milton Brown. On yet another hand, some of the greatest music ever recorded or created was played by rednecks, and a few probably smelled, too (ever get spit on or pissed on by Jimmy Martin??). For the record, i am a professional old-time fiddle player, my band has won lots of contests (up north only!), i love the great western swing music (as well as the great music of every imaginable type, and types that most folks can't imagine), and i DJ what i would consider the most exotic mix around. A short quote from the New York Times Sunday Magazine, April this year: Humming to himself, he cues up his selections, following the Greek tune with a recording of music from the carousel in Brooklyn's Prospect Park (a Wurlitzer band organ, he says, offhandedly adding that he recorded it himself); "I Never Will Forget," a rhythm-and-blues waltz by Shirley Ellis; and a cracked piece of country harmony by the Delmore Brothers. Then he leans over to me and announces, "Now it's time to get crazy -- this is an Inuit song, Eskimos singing into each other's mouths!" None of that falls into the strict exotica realm, and i assure you that i do play the "inside" exotica material, too, but all i'm saying is that there is lots of great music of all sorts. Whether calling it exotica makes it acceptable or not, it's time to rip open the pockets that music keeps getting put into, and digging the best of everything. BTW, here's the complete NYT article: http://www.megasaver.com/timesart.html and i'm also a theremin player, professional and (former) union member. I would also recommend looking for some of Tiny Moore's work, especially backing Merle Haggard in Merle's tribute band to Wills... take care, ck -- Citizen Kafka, Producer, "The Secret Museum of the Air" NEW!: every Tuesday 6 to 7 PM EST WFMU 91.1 FM & WXHD (Hudson Valley) 90.1 FM http://www.megasaver.com/page2/smradio.html http://wfmu.org/ then go to 'listen to wfmu' # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Darrell Brogdon" Subject: (exotica) Retro Cocktail Hour Date: 23 Jul 1999 19:33:57 -0500 The bossa nova goes to Nashville on this week's Retro Cocktail Hour webcast.

My buddy is on a Jim Nabors kick and I was trying to ignore it. But I finally relented and tried this one where Gomer has longish hair and sings old country songs. I kind of loved it. It was strange and alienating but kind of beautiful like some exotica with the same qualities. Somehow that big operatic voice of his "worked" for me here. I'm not saying that qualifies it as exotica per se but it's the kind of thing I'd post to this list.. As I just did. And have I ever mentioned the record Tex Ritter made with Stan Kenton? It was towards the end of his career, his voice was starting to fail and he does this version of September Song that should have been retitled December Song. He sounds like he's about to die before the song ends. Maybe the presence of Stan Kenton gives the record a bit of lounge appropriateness but that's not why I would post it to this list. I know our new member, the agent provocateur who works for those bastard lawyers, was just trying to cause a "furore" but I came to exotica from other music and exotica has opened my ears to yet more stuff and somehow I consider all that music - the before, during and after - part of the "subject" of this list.

Sure there were other reasons. But Billy started x-dressing to get work to support herself and her mother. When she was a teenager, Billy began to play gigs in her hometown of Tulsa, OK. In the late 20s Tulsa was a jumpin' place with lots of jazz clubs and the beginnings of western swing. She had good chops as a piano and sax player and more skill than a lot of other pros she auditioned with -- she could read and arrange music and her playing swung. But bands wouldn't hire her because touring with a single woman at the time was verboten. Plus, this was the Depression, so living was hard for everyone. When she got a good gig after auditioning in x-dress, Billy lived part-time as a man. Her path was sealed when she fell in love an older women, described as a butch lesbian, in _Suits Me_. Diane Middlebrook suggests that Billy found other payoffs as a man: the love of docile, somewhat sheltered women, freedom to become a bandleader, stylin' duds and a fling as a playboy, opportunities to express his creativity and hold the spotlight, satistfaction as the considerate caretaker of his women and adopted sons, and a mentor to younger musicians. And money. He could make better money as a man, even though he was stuck for most of his career in second- or third-tier jobs in supper and nightclubs through the American Midwest and Northwest. Billy went to incredible lengths to maintain the pretense: shaving twice a day when he was gigging, for instance. He surrounded himself with people who were too naive or too egocentric to see through him. He deflected questions with a joke or a lie or outright evasion. He was constantly dogged by fears that he'd be found out. In the late 50s he stopped performing, just as the Billy tipton Trio was on the verge of making it. They were getting better jobs than ever before, playing warmup for Liberace in Las Vegas and LA, among others, plus the record contracts. Middlebrook argues -- quite convincingly -- that Billy had entered the realm of big-time entertainment, where his new peers had the sophistication to catch him at his ruse. He withdrew to a small town in Washington state and worked as a booking agent until he died in 1989. Sadly, only at his death did Billy win the fame he'd wanted. The news media worldwide reported his death not because he was a well-known musician but because of the scale of his deception. I've never heard any of Tipton's music, and I'd love to. If anyone has the Tops lps, _Sweet Georgia Brown_ (56) or _Billy Tipton Plays Hi-Fi on Piano_ (56 or 57), I'm ready to buy. A detailed description would please me too. Please contact me offlist. I don't know if there are any translations of _Suits Me_. Is a paper edition is in print? Got me. It's likely because Middlebrook is a respected writer whose _Ann Sexton_, a bio of the American poet, was nominated for the National Book Award, a big deal here. Read it as a fascinating social history of the Swing Era that raises lots of subtle questions about gender, sexuality, and tolerance. It's an amazing story. And yes, Mo, to most people Billy's life would be exotic. But then artists are pretty exotic to most people too.

I couldn't believe it...no whiny pedal steel guitars (Wills- era players used the lap steel), top-notch playing, upbeat interesting music! That album is overly slick (and includes guest appearances by some inappropriate performers such as Huey Lewis) but it's an easy introduction to Wills' music and it spurred me to buy Rhino's "Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys Anthology". This set shows the versatility of the Wills band quite well...there's even material that could be called "Big Band" on it. After hearing the above I began to test the C&W waters, and there IS some worthwhile material out there...really! By the way, to the Canadians on the list...apparently Don Messer's band could play incredibly well live, and were often compared to Bob Wills.

I'm not trying to convince or convert anybody but I'm kind of surprised to see the consistency of the anti-country sentiments on this list. All those old complaints about "whiny" steel guitars etc. At this rate we'll soon hear comments about big hair, nasal voices, the consistency of subject matter - "my wife left me for a truckdriver and my dog got hit by a train" - and other cliches which anyone who loves a certain kind of music, hears all the time. I love country music, bluegrass, honky-tonk, compilations of country-blues from the 30's, country and western and even country-rock. I don't care for "New Country" but I like a lot of what they call "alternative country" or "No Depression country" or even "insurgent country". Country music is as "significant" a part of my taste as anything we ever talk about here and I am just as thrilled to find an early record by Little Jimmy Dickens - before he got into the "novelty songs" - as I am to find a Dick Schory percussion record or a funky Johnny Lyttle organ 'n vibes record. One of my prized possessions is a Ralph Stanley record from the early seventies. It's all gospel and religious material "but" it's one of the most beautiful records I've ever heard. Yeah if you don't love country music, you can be distracted by all those whiny, nasal, cliche-ridden aspects that are certainly there much of the time. But the music is not defined by those aspects any more than the music we talk about here is defined by the things its detractors say about it. I'm not trying to get the list to extend its discussion into country music or even Western swing for that matter. It just got a little tiresome to hear the consistent dismissal of an entire musical genre, especially from a group who you'd think would question musical prejudices.

There's really not much comparison at all between the two unless all "country" music sounds the same to you. I'm not going to haul out the research but the records generally identified as "the first country records" were much closer to what we would now call "bluegrass" or even "folk" than to country or "country and western" A lot of these records have been gathered in a compilation called "The Bristol Sessions" because they were recorded in Bristol, a town where one side of the main street is in Tennessee and the other side in Virginia. (Or maybe West Virginia?) If you listen to the Jimmie Rodgers (not the "Honeycomb" guy) cuts on those first sessions, it almost sounds like old blues. And in fact there are compilations out there whose basic goal is to show you how similar white "folk music" and black folk music were at the time. And to some degree, the development of country music is the story of removing the "blues influence" from the music. Anyway, Western Swing is a fairly "narrow" phenomenon. It's country with strong jazz, hot jazz, swing and even early R&B influences. I'm not saying "narrow" as a criticism; it's just that there's not that much of it compared to these other forms of country music. However Western Swing did influence the development of country music and you can hear a lot more of what it influenced than you can hear genuine Western Swing. I don't think it's accurate to say that Western Swing "retained" the black influence so much as it "inserted" them back in the music. I listen to lots of country and bluegrass but very little Western Swing. I have some of the compilations mentioned here but for me they're more "fun" than essential. I put it in a narrow corner of my taste along with old rock n roll, Louis Jordan and other forms of rollicking, good time party music. I don't really like happy party music much in any genre. I'm more into the melancholy and emotional. (Not that partying is not an emotion...) There's a lot of lickety-split fast-picking musicianship to bluegrass and that's not really what I value in it, though it has its pleasures. I can be cynical about words like this but I love bluegrass because it's real and pure. I hear human beings expressing themselves with a kind of directness that I don't hear in lots of music, even music I love. I also love the obsession with murder ballads and other gothic tales. But even when they're singing about Jesus, I don't care because it's not what they're singing about but the emotion and passion that connects for me. I haven't answered your question. Bluegrass is mountain music and Western swing is more city music. Enough about country music today.

So, to get as much as you can get, you have to buy 3 CDs with some duplication. It is too bad someone just can't issue a 4 CD set with no duplication. The Good Music Company is selling a 2 CD set called Persuasive Percussion. This looks like a straight reissue off the double album reissue (which left some cuts off from the original releases). Compare with the two Verese Sarabande recordings: Persuasive Percussion (which has all of Persuasive Percussion and 6 cuts from volume 2) and Provacative Percussion which has all of Provocative Percussion and 6 cuts from volume 2. The Good Music company set has several cuts not on either of the VS: Mack the Knife, Out of Nowhere, Yours is My Heart Alone, La Cucaracha, Lady of Spain, Speak to Me of Love Cha Cha and Theme from Polyvetsian Dances. Meanwhile, the VS CD Persuasive Percussion has two cuts not on the Good Music set: The Breeze and I, Dearly Beloved (a cut from the original LP volume 1 and a cut from the LP volume 2). Also, the VS CD Provacative Percussion has three cuts not on the Good Music set: Matilda, Good Night Sweetheart Cha Cha and The Lady is a Tramp, all from Command's Prov. Perc. Vol. 2. I didn't compare all the Command cuts for the CDs, but something tells me all four of these CDs don't have everything you can get by buying the records. And some people wonder why I buy records!

When I think of bluegrass music, I think of a small huddle of musicians playing fiddles, mandolins, bass fiddles, acoustic guitars, and other such stringed acoustic instruments, with the only percussion being an occassional clanging together of two spoons. The Washington D.C. area has the largest fan base of bluegrass fans in the U.S., and the events I have been to have tended to be either day-long mild-mannered outdoor festivals or an indoor, intimate setting (often at locations that do not sell alcohol) This is probably similar to the early 60's folk scene. When I think of western swing, I always picture a full drumset being used, and the setting has moved indoors to a large hall with a more 'rowdy' crowd and more beer being sold. The emphasis has shifted from the audience appreciating 'individual musicianship' to getting out on the large dance floor and swinging your partner around. In between the two genres (but leaning towards bluegrass), I place Contra Dance Music, which features various energetic line dances while an all acoustic band (usually no drums) supplies the music. I'm sure there are lots of exceptions that I'm not aware of.

I'll have to add some contrarian opinions to Bruno's take on Bluegrass and Western Swing. Western Swing can hardly be called a City music - it's...well, Western. Played in dinky honky tonks across Texas and Oklahoma, and later California. I wouldn't call it a narrow phenomenon either. It was an incredibly popular dance music for working class whites west of the Mississippi from the '30s through '50s. It incorporated string band fiddling, hot jazz rhythms, jazzy guitar, jump blues arrangements. In other words, it was a magnificent bastard genre. Much like Bluegrass. While early country was one of the main tributaries, Bluegrass proper begins with Bill Monroe. He took Appalachian music (fueled by scottish and english ballads) and mixed it with strings bands, and blues styles and formed a new, jazzy style defined largely by himself on mandolin, and Lester Scruggs on Banjo. Over time it became synonamous with hot picking banjo licks (like the theme to "Deliverence" or "Beverly Hillbillies"), but in recent years the vocal element (Alison Krauss) has come to the fore. There are some clear connections between country music and exotica. Primarily through steel guitar (Speedy West did many exotica cuts, as did Jerry Byrd and most of the other great steel guitar players). Alvino Rey played pop, country and exotica. I got into exotica through the backdoor, after listening to lots of surf guitar (which has a strong connection with country guitar instrumentals - particularly the Bakersfield sound which was developing on the Telecaster concurrently with surf guitar's evolution on the Strat). Let me add my vote for "open ears" as the definining virtue of this list. I've heard some very odd country music, using fuzz guitars, or with odd lyrics which clearly qualify as the kind of odd music that exoticats desire. --David # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Western Swing Date: 25 Jul 1999 18:11:20 EDT In a message dated 7/25/99 12:46:38 PM Pacific Daylight Time, bruno@yhammer.com writes: << I haven't answered your question.

I was looking for Country and Tex Mex music, there was very little country, but a lot of what I at first took to be Tex Mex, but when you heard the announcers, they were not speaking Spanish. For some reason I got the idea that they were Hungarian, but I think the general term Germanic or Middle European does it. Tex Mex thrived on the fact the some of the finest German accordion makers moved out to Texas at the turn of the century. In fact I could hear surprisingly little Spanish language music. So I think that really the Texas Polka thing should be no surprise considering the better known Tex Mex music. Sorry for the clumsiness of all that sentence construction. And on the subject of Texas Polka, theres a song by that name on the bizarre Texas Funeral album by Jon Wayne (aka John Whayne?). I would recommend as murky, clumsy, drunken, fuzzed up country.

Bluegrass is a relatively modern term (C 1940s) given to a commercialized version of traditional folk musics of the southeast. The term "bluegrass" comes from Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys. Bill Monroe definitely did the most for the music -- his contribution as a songwriter and mandolinist, and his position as a mentor to countless bluegrass musicians (not unlike the roles of Miles Davis or Art Blakey in their revolving cast jazz combos) is unrivaled. Many of Monroe's bandmembers became hugely successful in their own right - most notably, the group of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. Before Bill Monroe's time on the WSM Grand Ole Opry (a popular radio show which showcased country artists), and his band's association with the music, what we call "bluegrass" was commonly referred to a "hillbilly music." I think he was playing on the show as early as the 30s, but I'm not positive on any dates. Anyone know? The style's roots go back to the British isles. Many songs in the Celtic tradition are identical in Bluegrass, only they have different names. This is especially true for what Bluegrass musicians call "fiddle tunes" - reels and the like that focus on the fiddle. The immigrants from these places to America's southeast brought this music with them. Bill Monroe packaged it for the radio public as "Bluegrass." The music's roots also include African-American influences. Particularly, the banjo which was brought to America by enslaved Africans. In areas (typically mountain areas around the plantation South) where escaped and freed slaves lived among poor whites, the banjo began to undergo transformation to the modern 5-string version used in bluegrass. Also, certain rhythmic influences, song subjects, and other styles began to trade hands. Though bluegrass and variants (like "Old Timey" - a sort of non-commercial, anti Bill Monroe, more traditionally "pure" variant of southern american folk music) are often considered "white" music, they both owe *a lot* to the influence of African culture. Incidentally, "Old Timey" music is rawer, less slick, and sounds more "mountain home" than the commercial bluegrass sound. The banjo is also typically a bit different design and played differently in Old Timey ("frailed" as opposed to "three-finger" or "Scruggs" style). Email me privately if anyone cares to know the difference. Bluegrass instrumentation can typically include guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass violin (plucked, never bowed), mandolin, and dobro (essentially a lap steel guitar). Instruments are usually not electric, though modern bluegrass bands often cheat with an electric bass. The rhythm is typically 4/4, or occasionally a waltz 3/4. Improvisation is central to the music - the songs are very simple and the musicians take turns on "breaks" where they improvise over the chord changes. I know less about Western Swing... Like bluegrass, it is a commercial, radio-influenced form of more traditional musics. Western Swing owes (obviously) an influence to big band jazz sounds of the 30s and 40s, and also to German and polish music (in the form of polka influence). At least, that's what I've read, though I don't always hear it in the music. Mexican culture also had a big influence - Texas was the birthplace of Western Swing. The instrumentation typically includes electric pedal or lap steel - a big focus of Western swing. Western swing, in fact, has a lot of electrification - electric guitar, pedal steel. It also sometimes has some drums, which you will never find in bluegrass, except in some 1970s "Newgrass" groups. Western Swing is also sometimes called "Panhandle Swing," after the region in Texas (the panhandle) where the music originated. The key to Western Swing is really its stylized and commercial sound - this is definitely a music for the age of radio, when Texas musicians could commercialize their music to appeal to listeners in New York or around the world. That's a key to this music, and something that makes it "hybrid" in a sense, and appealing perhaps to exotica fans in much the same way Martin Denny plays music some people think of as "Tropical" or "Hawaiian." I think of Western Swing as a very slick, Hollywood western type of music. Bluegrass is also a commercial music, but one that emphasizes "down homeness."

Date: 26 Jul 1999 11:52:51 -0400 prefrences/experiences with CD changers? I broke down a few years ago and retired my single play technics for a 5-disc Sony carousel. I generally DESPISE Sony, but found that they had the best product for the price at the time (4 years ago). My CDs are in great shape, the carousel is very gentle to them. >>Hello...daaahhhlllinnnggss...I probably have the same one as you, the Sony 5-disc...here are my pros and cons about it! 1. Pro- I love to put in,say, a "now-sound" or "vocal jazz" shuffle...it's nice to hear 5 albums at once! It has never damaged my CDs, either. 2. No repeats! 3. Con- My CD player MAY be defective, or this could just be a quirk of these "shuffle-players, but I've had mine since 1993...and every once in awhile...it either skips on the CDs...or plays :15 of them, and then repeats or skips ahead! I hate that! It might just be dust, though...Usually dusting it carefully(And the player, too, OH!)...works for me!

Bluegrass is more banjos and guitars... more of the hillbilly/Appalachian folk sort of thing. Western Swing is an amalgamate of cowboy music and big band jazz. A Western Swing band almost always has a trumpet player, which very few if any bluegrass bands include. One of the Bob Wills Tiffany Transcriptions CDs had Wills versions of jazz classics like Jumpin at the Woodside, Straighten Up and Fly Right, Nobody's Sweetheart and Dinah. It's not Digga Digga Doo or Caravan, but it's darn close! "AHHHH!

Those of you in the Washington D.C. area, the film "I Created Lancelot Link" is being shown this Thursday with other short films. I've already seen the film and it is great. "I created Lancelot Link - Jeff Krulik and Diane Bernard. This short film takes a look back at at time before Chimp TV to the 70's show of the short's name (Lancelot Link). The short mixes original show footage with interviews with its creators for some interesting and funny juxtapositions. The Village Voice called the film "a cool bit of pop-culture archaelogy. The short was the winner of the best documentary award at the 1999 New York Underground Film Festival." DATE: JULY 29 PLACE: Studio 650, Atlantic Video, 650 Massachusetts Ave NW TIME: Doors open 6:45, films start at 7:30 Q&A after the films.

The Stratosphere Boogie cd is a good place to start for any exoticat interested in the genre. Hell, Jack Diamond used to play it on his show - and we all know how cranky he can be. The pedal steel guitar used in western swing metamorphized from the lap guitar invented by Hawaiian cowboys of the late 19th century, so there IS an exotic connection, historically speaking. And there's also Alvino Rey's excellent pedal steel stylings used on numerous Esquivel recordings.

Debra Masson, 39, was convicted Monday of domestic battery, elder abuse and battery. The two had lived together for 14 years. Prosecutors said Meyer, 77, was attacked May 26 while napping on a couch at the Hollywood Hills home he shared with Masson. Meyer told investigators he awoke to find Masson standing over him, punching him in the face. Meyer fled to the home of a neighbor, who called police. He was treated at a hospital for facial cuts and bruises. The director is best known for a series of porn films produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Masson faces up to a $6,000 fine and one year in prison on each count. She was scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 2. === "It's just my nature to do weird stuff." - Les Baxter Astroslut website: cuming soon! _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

John Leguizamo will play Juan Garcia Esquivel, the ground-breaking Mexican musician whose prolific musical output during the '60s typified the ``Hi-Fi'' sound of the day. Leguizamo will also serve as a producer of the Fox Searchlight project. While ``Esquivel'' will not be the next film for Payne, the picture joins a growing list of projects Payne is developing as future outings. Payne and Jim Taylor (``Election,'' ``Citizen Ruth'') currently are doing a rewrite of ``About Schmidt.'' The Columbia Pictures project, which is based on Louis Begley's novel about a WASP attorney as he ventures into retirement and marries off his daughter, has been viewed as a starring vehicle for Jack Nicholson. Payne also has been developing the adaptation of Paul Auster's ``The Locked Room'' at Fine Line. While ``Schmidt'' and ``Locked Room'' are on the front burners, after the critical praise Payne received for ``Election,'' the Nebraska native continues to field offers for his directorial services. ``Election,'' the adaptation of Tom Perrotta's satirical novel which was recently released by Paramount, followed Payne's debut, the acclaimed satire ``Citizen Ruth.''

All three look pristine, not bad for just over a dollar a go. I resisted buying other items, like: what appeared to be a complete set of CBS, Studio 2 and Phase 4 samplers, a Manuel and the music of the mountains (aka Geoff Love) sampler, and the obligatory Mantovani greatest hits album. But, I might go back tomorrow........ The 'Sample Mancini' album (RCA Victor SAS 1000) might even be a desirable item to a Mancini completist. I'm looking forward to playing it when I get back home.

There are many of us that are looking forward to seeing the movie more for the Martin Denny music than to see the plot. Mr. Denny has communicated that he was excited to have his music featured in the film. Mr. Denny is 88 years old now and retired in Honolulu. For those of us that are fans of his music, we appreciate that he is getting recognition/exposure with this movie in the twilight years of his life. I kinda makes it all worth while.

I recall the opening music being similar to Mancini's Pink Panther music. Quite appropriate for the film, I thought. And the music also did a good job in embellishing the accelerating madness in the film. Then again, my recollections may be faulty. During the festival, I saw about 60 movies in 2.5 weeks, so though some things remain distinct in my memories, others have blurred together.

Dimitri From Paris is a fellow from Europe whose major influences are Martin Denny and Les Baxter. Apparently, and I've only heard clips, he's got a whole groove, funk, mixed, electronic exotica thing happening. He's only released 2 albums since 1998 and has been involved in many fashion shows in Europe.

I'm sure Mr. Dimitri is a great guy and all but, I got sick of the album "Sacre Blue" after listening to it once. It's real simple house music, best listened to by people jam packed into a sweltering club where epileptic mirror balls strobe and the air circulation system keeps a near toxic flow of nicotine, CK1 and ecstasy laden perspiration in the air. The "very stylish girl" tune is the best thing on the disc and it takes 6-7 loops and beats them into the ground. There's one song towards the end of the CD that I swear is the demo setting on a forty-nine dollar Casio keyboard that I owned in the late 1980's. As I said it's probably great if you've been dancing 8 straight hours while huffing ether, mainlining crystal meth, chewing on a handful of morphine suppositories and engaging in Olympic class frotterisim. Otherwise, to me it's a real low priority listen, and maybe worth five bucks used. -Roy G.

And I only know of one CD that he released (but I believe there is a CD EP from Sacre Blue with different mixes out there). Aside from that - I love the CD, and would recommend buying it - but a word of warning before you do. Do NOT buy the domestic version - hunt out the European import (this is assuming you live in North America, of course) - the two are not the same CD - the domestic one has some different tracks, which are more extended dance-mix type numbers - far less exotic than the import. It may cost more than $13 for the import, but I would say it's worth it. cheryl Amanda Cavataio wrote: > > I was searching through the various artists of Atlantic Records the other > day and I came upon someone quite interesting.

Date: 27 Jul 1999 23:46:12 -0500 Hey there- Fellow New Yorkers will be glad (or appalled) to hear that Burt Bacharach is appearing at Asser Levy Seaside Park this Thursday at 8pm. My sources tell me it's either free "or $5 for the good seats". And what an evening it's going to be! First, the location: Asser Levy Park is between Brighton Beach and the Coney Island Aquarium in the depths of Brooklyn. The concert shell is right next to the road, insuring a constant stream of noise and passing lights. Second: in addition to Burt himself, the opening act will be Catskills comedian Mal Z Lawrence. Borscht Belt, here we come! Since this show isn't well advertised, I assume the audience will consist of a lot of locals. This may beat in insanity the time when I saw The Master at Long Island's Westbury Music Fair, with its revolving round stage and bizarre musty odor. See you there.

In contrast, online music sales accounted for just 1.1 percent of the total US retail music market in 1998. The ongoing debate on digital music distribution means that digital sales revenue will total just USD147 million, representing just 5.7 percent of the total online music sales market. The most effective immediate use of digital distribution will be in marketing music products such as CDs and cassettes online, according to the report. Jupiter points to the need for music labels to focus on building a comprehensive data picture of their online customer, specifically if they are to develop the merchandising and touring sides of the business online. However, the report predicts that the control of this information is likely to prove a very divisive issue between music labels and artists' management. The online music market is expected to grow exponentially over the coming decade. The main barriers to mass market acceptance in the short term include limited bandwidth, lack of music availability, competition from the free alternative, MP3, and the lack of portability solutions. Earlier in the year, MTI estimated that Internet music sales would generate USD3.9 billion by 2004. ******************************************************************** SUBSCRIBING TO INTERNET SURVEYS To subscribe to Nua Internet Surveys, send an email to with the word "subscribe" in the body of the message.

Barbano, 72, Accordionist, Restaurateur Rudolph L. Barbano, a popular musician, music teacher and restaurateur who played the accordion at Bobby Kennedy's wedding, died in his sleep at his Sea Cliff home early Monday morning. He was 72. Barbano was considered a child prodigy when he first began entertaining with the accordion at age 4 for the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions Club and American Legion in upstate Elmira, where he was born in 1927, said his son, Randolf Barbano of Huntington. By age 16, he was a celebrated talent playing in the IBM Band. Then, in 1945, the 18-year-old toured with the USO, playing in shows and hospitals for World War II veterans throughout the United States. That's when he met a singer, the former Mary Anne Plourde of Lynn, Mass., who would later become his wife. They were married for 45 years until her death in 1993. Barbano moved to New York to play with the big bands of that time: Ray Block, Meyer Davis, Emil Coleman, Lester Lanin and many more. He was regularly invited to entertain at the Waldorf-Astoria, Plaza and Pierre hotels in Manhattan, quickly earning the designation as one of the best accordionists in New York City. One of his favorite gigs was the wedding reception of Robert and Ethel Kennedy on June 17, 1950. With socialites and other entertainers in gowns and tuxedos flocking to see him, he decided in 1955 to open the Sans Souci restaurant / nightclub overlooking Long Island Sound in Sea Cliff. His partner was his brother-in-law, the late Arthur Repetti, a keyboard musician who married Barbano's sister, Albina. Their clientele included such notables as Gov. Averell Harriman, Perry Como, Andy Williams and Peggy Lee. Business flourished for 25 years before the partners finally retired. "Music was my father's life," said his son. "He could hear a song and play it without reading it.That's playing by ear, and not all musicians have that gift. Our house was always filled with music." Barbano, who had held his private pilot's license since 1959, used to fly his wife and kids to Atlantic City and the Hamptons for the weekend. "We all thought it was all so thrilling to pick up and go like that," said his daughter, Sharon Barbano of Marblehead, Mass. His retired status gave Barbano a chance to appear on the silver screen. He was chosen to play the background music in the wedding scene of "Prizzi's Honor" in 1985. He earned a real estate appraiser's license in 1989, and began a new career. Barbano was a founding member of the Sea Cliff / Glen Head Lions Club. He was named 1990 Lion of the Year and a bench bearing his name sits on Sea Cliff's Rum Point, a stone's throw from the Sans Souci, now a catering establishment. ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere! # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peter Risser Subject: (exotica) Libraries Date: 28 Jul 1999 07:42:47 -0700 (PDT) For those who are just starting to get into this whole exotica scene, I must recommend hitting libraries. A lot of times they'll have old vinyl or "easy listening" CDs that at least hit near the type of stuff this list promotes. For example, I dug up the following at our local library: Spanky and Our Gang's GH, Henry Mancini Box Set, Umbrellas of Cherbourg soundtrack (all in French, very odd), Babalu Music (produced by Weird Al Yankovic of all people), some Quincy Jones, Ennio Morricone Film Music vol 1, Fifth Dimension Definitive Collection, plus the Good Music release of Enoch Light's Persuasive and Provocative Percussion. Also, Rip Rig and Panic by Rhasaan Roland Kirk and some Art Ensemble of Chicago, Foo Fighters, Donald Fagen, Los Lobos and Stevie Wonder, but that's not really for this list. :) Anyway, the point being, there's all sorts of wacked out stuff mixed in between the Lionel Richie and Barbra Streisand. BTW, I have to say, I'm not that impressed by Spanky. But, at least I got to sample it, for free! Anyway, My two cents.

The CD I was listening too? Esquivel! Music From A Sparkling Planet! My first Esquivel disk only purchased 4 days before. I think at the time track 5 was on: You Belong To My heart. It was a very unusual experience smacking into the back of a 1/2 ton truck with him as the soundtrack. Ever been in a car accident? Thinking back, or even when it's happening, the situation seems to go in slow motion and is almost surreal. On my way home today from work I'll be passing over the very same spot on the highway. With the same vehicle (Mazda truck) and I'll be listening to the same Esquivel disk. Brought it with me on purpose. It's just *my* nature to do weird stuff! Hope I get home. And of course I don't blame Esquivel for the accident. Just be careful out there friends! Just last night their was a terrible accident only a 2 minute walk away from my house and it seems the woman driving lost her life. Driving is serious business.

Being Mr. Soft Rock these days I'll say yes and no to Knucklehead's comments about Spanky & Our Gang. Overall they have the true soft rock/pop sound and typify the initial soft rock era's light and airy feel-good semi-easy listening harmony-laden softly sung sound. Their hits are perhaps their most typical" "Give A Damn", "Makin' Every Minute Count (Makin' It Groovy)", "Sunday Will Never Be The Same", "Lazy Day", "Like To Get To Know You", but to dig into their LP's which can be found easily is to find some soft and easy gems that equal and surpass their hits. For example, I would expect every exotician on this list to go for "Without Rhyme Or Reason" on their yellow album where the vinyl is pulled from the top of the jacket........Jimmy Botticelli/Softly as I Leave You # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Thinkmatic@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Dimitri From Paris Date: 28 Jul 1999 12:42:53 EDT In a message dated 7/28/99 8:45:11 AM Eastern Daylight Time, LTepedino writes: > Hey Roy , > If your overall cliche ridden, disparaging description of dance and > electronic music is as ludicrous as the rest of your tatse in music then it's > not worth 2 cents used. > > Ashley Admittedly ludicrous, as well as disparaging, but you don't need to go getting nasty about it. It's just my silly opinion, it was meant more to amuse then to be a serious critical analysis of anything. I was just using hyperbole to add a bit of zest and color to what I had to say. My words regarding the music of Dimitri were not intended as a personal criticism of you. I just don't much like the musical compositions in question. There are many Electronica artists that I do like: Tipsy, DJ Shadow, DJ Cam, ColdCut, Stereolab, Chemical Brothers, Tortious, to name a few. So tell me Ashley, what is the "correct" opinion to have of the music of Dimitri? What is the proper tone that I should use when mentioning Dimitri? Is it OK for me to like the artist that I mentioned above? Where should I buy my shoes? -Roy PS I'm sorry if my descriptions were cliche ridden.

The vinyl sat on some shelves in one of the work areas for about a year, pending a decision on what to do with them. At about the end of last year, I got word that the librarian responsible for this decision had told two musician co-workers that they could take their pick of the lp's on the shelves. I was so pissed -- they didn't even ask anyone else if they "still" collected vinyl. I knew that there were some exotica gems lurking in there, and I was afraid they'd be gone by the time I got to look through the stack. Fortunately, the indie fanboy co-workers did not have very adventurous tastes, and I got a bunch of things, among them a copy of Martin Denny's _Hypnotique_ in excellent condition. Before I'd found it, I overheard them saying that there was "nothing good" left in the stacks after they got done with them. Ha! Another cool thing about this library is that we've started to collect pulp magazines and reissues of fifties cheesecake and such -- so we're seeing a lot of that these days. -- Kerry # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: NYCPress@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Desi/Pied Pipers Date: 28 Jul 1999 12:53:33 EDT Speaking of Mr. Arnaz, he did a song called "Forever Darling" which was featured in the movie of the same name.

The librarians at the library where I live ask me to pick out the jazz CD's because they to not know anything about jazz and are reticent about what to order. I was there last week and was asked to make out a list of about 12 CD's. I'll have to pick out a few exotica ones too! Most librarians may only order what they know or like. For instance, my library has a disproportionate amount of showtunes.... The library in your area may need some help selecting eclectic music. they only know books! ;') It goes full circle.

I've heard people on this list who've put together tunes ten times as good in their spare time, so I'm not quite sure how he got a record deal. He tends to pick a single sample and run with it throughout an entire song, layering some vocal or other instrumental samples on time, but in what I find to be a tired and hackneyed fashion. However, it has been pointed out to me that I don't particular like much techno music (usually for that exact reason), and this definitely falls into a techno category, as far as song structure is concerned. I found this to also be the case with Tipsy and Sukia. In any case, I haven't seen the other responses, but in the past they've tended to be glowing and I wanted to throw out an alternate opinion. I will say, as a side note, his production of Nothing to Lose, was quite enjoyable, so when he puts his mind to it, he can do nice things. So, if you like the danceteria stuff, like Tipsy and Sukia, you'll probably enjoy Dimitri. If not, you probably won't.

Not only is it located on some of the finer park land in that area, but it is an arts library with a marvelous vinyl collection. Many, many wonderful things to be had there, also all of the books are on the arts (that means music, too. of course). I had the fortune of being able to say, "I've heard of _____ , now I will listen to the album to see if I like them". By the way, the reference I made earlier "Ay, man. Lead and I'll follow. Where's library?", comes from "All Our Yesterdays", a Star Trek episode (It's a favorite line of mine in that episode). I guess that firm handshake will have to wait.

The CD I was listening to at the time was the Ultra-Lounge 'Space Capades' ... the individual track was also the fifth track: Dickie Harrell doing "Drivin' Around the Block' Wrecking a car to this song is much cooler than wrecking your car to some tune coming over the radio.

Leda Annest Portrait of Leda Composed and Conducted by Phil Moore Columbia WL 114 from Adventures in Sound series The whole record is wordless vocals with orchestra. From the notes: "The girl re-creates the human animal in totality that poor dissected specimen on whose behalf no antivivisectionist society has yet been formed, the dismantled creature of today's world on whose every nostril and extremity there are a dozen authorities." huh? better this: "Leda sings not to the ears but to the sympathetic nervous system." As far as I know she only did one album, but this is incredible. What a range, what animal passion! Unfortunately it is one long thing, so difficult to break up for small doses... but for listening at home (and not for playing on the radio) it is incredible and you want to listen to it all.

I bought the LP (Euro version, double vinyl) when it first came out,after already liking "Free Ton Style" as a 12". Thought it was good, but could be a lot better. Kinda the same electronic trick on each track with the loops, but still pleasant and as a DJ, the kind of stuff you can play that is nice and fairly crowd-pleasing. "Une very stylish fille" got used for a commerical in the UK, which also helped for the DJ set. "Free ton Style" is a beautiful mellow house track - nothing one would gurn on speed to. Although it is modern and elecronic, it certainly has nothing to do with raves - I know...I dance to techno at will and promote the sound for a living. It's chilled beats that could be MUCH more creative, but is very pleasant if you just take it for what it is. More to do with trip hop than techno. Electronica than lounge, although it has lots of influences from exotica/lounge. Like it. Kept it. Play it. Look forward to more. Dimitri DJs house. Not lounge or beatz. He's not bad. Very sexy and friendly. I'm a fan, but not a groupie. (Meaning I enjoy, but don't worship at the altar of...)

The library in my hometown sold its vinyl collection about 5 years ago. Of course I was there and I got about 100 LPs. Unfortunately all the jazz albums were gone, but all of the electronic and modern classical albums were still there. One great find was an album with Musique Concrète by Pierre Schaeffer.

This is a 1980 followup to his 1st, featured in Biafra's section of ISM. Big (Freddie) Krugeresque mug on the front: some fun covers of Bridge Over Troubled Water (Try Face Over Sizzling Skillet), Blowin In the Wind and other happy hippie tunes.

How refreshing to read an uninformed opinion! Which Spanky songs remind you of lesser versions of which Mamas and Papa's songs? Which albums of Spanky's do you find lesser than which Mamas and Papas albums? Not that these are fighting words, but since my reaction to Spanky's music is that its far more eclectic and varied than Mamas and Papas, I find your Glittering Generality puzzling......But a quick word on the Mamas and Papas. For Soft pop fans their early 7T's LP "People Like Us" is superb and I do mean superb. Overlooked and underloved, this is the pinnacle of all they were striving for and never achieved because they were always trying to sing too hard. On this LP, I think their last,. they finally get those soft vocals right, and the music has a sitar sound and a fuzz guitar in the background that adds fuel to the softness. The price is generally low on this one.

Worth" Subject: (exotica) Bring on the "Lounge", Don't Bother They're Here Date: 29 Jul 1999 18:09:14 -0700 >...like someone who may personally not like or understand >"lounge" music belittling Martin Denny or Esquivel as cheesy, > novelty music for people who like to dress up in dinner >jackets and fezes and sip martinis while disparaging any >album recorded after 1972. Let me make you a little more angry if I may... I would like to make it clear that although I listen to Esquivel and Martin Denny on occasion, I do in fact think they *are* pretty much cheesy, novelty music. I think that musically, Prez Prado and Arthur Lyman are infinitely superior. When this whole "Lounge" thing happened, I cringed because all it meant to me was that any old Easy Listening album in the used bin was going to be marked up to outrageous prices, regardless of how good it was. It also irritated me that most of the CD compilations included the goofiest and least listenable cuts of the artists they featured, and the digital remastering (read "digital mauling") on most of them ended up making purely acoustic bands sound like buzzy synthesizers. A clean copy of the original vinyl sounds much better than the CD in almost every case. When it comes to the silly hats and "lounge culture" you can leave me out. I do not own a fez, and I prefer to sip my Gin and Tonic (not Martinis) out of a normal glass. It doesn't have to be shaped like a pirate skull or coconut monkey. I don't like this music for the costume that goes with it... I happen to actually like the music itself. That is why I rebel against the title "Lounge". The types of music that fall under that misnomer are actually several different genres: Pop Vocals, Percussion Music, Exotica, Sweet Big Band, etc... To me, the term "lounge" is nothing but a marketing term meant to describe a transitory fad created by record labels. In fact, its time may have already passed. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing. It just means that the prices will come back down to earth and record collectors will be able to share discoveries about the *MUSIC* among themselves without hipsters in leopard spot smoking jackets peering over their shoulders to see if it has a girl in a kitty cat leotard on the cover. When it comes to a cut-off date for when music started to get bad, I would cite 1964, not 1972. When the Beatles hit and Capitol records phased out their excellent big band, country and pop vocal divisions, it marked the beginning of the end in my opinion. From then on, there was only one kind of music left... rock. And as we all now by now, there hasn't been a single new development in the sound of "rock" in almost twenty years. Rock is like a disease spreading out and absorbing all diversity. Rock "fusion" has pretty much killed jazz and country, and it has even infected classical music and opera. I am proud to beleive that all Irishmen are drunks. I think Goths are just depressed clowns, and I also think that all Mormons ride bicycles. I think stereotyping is a great source of humor, and a way to define who we are, or at least who we think we are. Feel free to stereotype me as you see fit. ("old fart" might fit the bill nicely...)

Well, I gotta chime in on this one. How in the world would you categorize Esquivel and Denny as cheesy? Have you ever listened to some of the less mainstream Denny where his real abilities on the piano are highlighted? Same with Esquivel -- the depth and variety of his work is tremendous. And we gotta refer to groups of things having a common nature by general names. Thus I don't take offense at the them Lounge. Tho I would never destine Denny or Esquivel to the lounge.

It got me thinking about other electronic instruments and their demos and the work that went into making them. Man, in 30 years someone will be collecting and listening to electronic interment demos.

I only saw or once or twice, but remember thinking that they were the equal of the original, only even weirder!

I know what he means about it being a bit "cheesy". Some Denny and Esquivel is a bit cringing,but some is amazing. I happen to like sunshine pop, which is sickly sweet at times. That is kinda what I enjoy, but my "serious" side sometimes goes "Jill! What the hell are you listening to!" Then I remember, "good melodies, fun lyrics, good arrangements...not cheese" We are predisposed to what is "cheese". Society tells us that, and it is a constant struggle to remember that "Macarena" is cheese,not bird calls. I also sometimes have problems with the "look of lounge" although I also really like it, and even pander to it, but sometimes I think that I am cheapening the music, that people think it is style over content. and it clearly is NOT. I know I've been born 30 years too late,and I have a lot of modern things within my retro styling. Still being unique without falling into trappings. So I think I know how Steve feels. Sometimes you get a bit sickened by the stylized labelling, but I know how Tiki B feels too. Both are totally valid. But I don't think either have meant to be insulting.

The way you put things here, you don't talk about the music, but about the circumstances. What people make of Exotica today, the surroundings. I always had my diffculties with "lounge", cocktail zipping, chique dressing, small talking. Not that I despise easy entertainment, but all this often seemed quite "retro" to me, like a masquerade. To me Exotica was more a holy thing. And that's why I have to protect Martin Denny here, because especially Martin Denny, and especially his first 10 albums, is not cheesy at all. Call me a romantic, but many of his early titles are sheer beauty and wild power. I can see nothing cheep or "made up" or false in it. It's a very unique way to transform the jazz of the likes of Cal Tjader into a new sound system, that makes the promise of imaginary Exotic worlds come true. As true as art can. BTW in a time when it wasn't retro at all. I find it hard to believe, that someone who works in the cartoon business, calls this cheesy. I thought that meanwhile even cultural phenomena like Disneyland are not just seen as lies and something false - cheap imitations of the "real" world -, but as an art of its own. With all the imaginary aspects, that they have. I do agree - if that's what you mean / and I talked about this myself on this list a long time ago - that one should be aware, that all this music from the 50s and 60s is from a distance past. We live at the edge of the 21st century and times have changed and the music has changed. The way music is consumed has changed. Things that once meant this, mean something else today. We shouldn't close our ears to contemporary styles. I said this in the context of discussions about Tipsy a.o., when people attacked Tipsy for their "simple" ways of sampling and "exploiting" Exotica. I could extend this to the dicussion about Dimitri: These sampling techniques are the way you do it today and something will emerge from it. It is a step, but a step in the right direction. Martin Denny was more than a step, he was a milestone. And he made a living with his music, which explains his later albums. But they don't affect his earlier works, not at all! I'd like to close this, claiming, that Martin Denny is a timeless statement against cheesiness.

Lucky you, it was one of the few Living Stereo reissues RCA/BMG Germany put out a few years back. As imports go, it's fairly reasonably priced.

GREAT reissues. Grab 'em both before they go out of print. Another must-get Prado is the 23-track domestic "2 en Uno" CD, with two groovy 1960s Mexican Prado LPs on one CD, including the spectacular "Tema de Los Monkees" and a *fabulous*, earth-shattering "Sobre El Arco Iris" ("Somewhere Over the Rainbow"). Currently $9.49 at CD Now ($10.97 list), and one of the best reissue deals around. (I think CD Now is a great resource, especially for imports and stuff you can't easily special order locally.

I couldn't turn it up on CD Now. This cd was released in 1996 and was distributed by BMG. It's a sampler for the Milan label which issues (mostly) soundtracks. So...on the soundtrack side of things the disc includes selections by The Residents ("Tooth and Claw" from the Hunters cd) as well as Stewart Copeland's "Ay Manu Wata Hai" ("Rapa Nui"), Moana & the Moa Hunters "Tahi" ("Once Were Warriors"), Tomandandy's "Go!" ("Killing Zoe"), Ravi Shankar's "Title" ("Genesis"), John Lurie's "Tuesday Night in Memphis" ("Mystery Train") and Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence" from the movie of the same name...and so forth The disc also contains a few non-soundtrack tracks including one by Popul Vuh and the booty-shakin' sounds of the Choir of the Benedictine Nuns of Sainte Marie de Maumont.

What I got were about 8 sunshine pop songs, and the rest what I call soft indie pop songs influenced more by Pet Sounds/Rubber Soul then by Spanky or the Association. The highlight is the "We Can Fly" remake by loveletter. They absolutely do a great version of this song. There are other really wonderful sunshine moments on here by modern soft pop bands. What I find curious is that "sunshine pop" seems to be an "in" movement. This release along with other modern lables such as Siesta are pointing the direction to a more upbeat sound in the modern soft pop world. There have been 2 new releases of reissues on Sequel records out of England called "Dream Time, Bristish Sunshine Pop" and "Look at the Sunshine, British Sumertyme Pop " that are both excellent compilations bound to influence more modern musicians. For me "soft pop" began in 1956 with Patience and Prudence and the Crew Cuts. Patience and Prudence could have been released in 1964 and not have sounded dated, what an ingenious group! These two bands are proof to me the rock and roll had a very large influence from 1940's pop music and rythmn and blues vocal groups. It was a small step from "Stardust" by Tommy Dorsey to Patience and Prudence to the Teddy Bears "To Know Him Is To Love Him" or the Fleetwoods. The Teddy Bears sound very much like some of the modern soft pop bands on the "Sunshine Pop 99" cd discussed above. They brought soft pop to its most basic elements as did the Fleetwoods and that sound is evident today. It was almost impossible for modern indie bands who strip down the production not to come up with a sound similiar to the late 50's ballads, which for me are stripped down versions of 1940-55 pop ballads. What I am most curious about is when did the "sunshine pop" music first evolve? I now differentiate "sunshine pop" as a seperate genre from soft pop. I think sunshine pop started in 1966 or so and basically died around 1970 when the more upbeat sound gave way to "soft rock". I know there must be exceptions there always is. Bubblegum certainly was a facter in its coma. "Soft rock" is a 1970's genre of rock ballads and soft pop ballads with a country influence. Soft rock is not as upbeat as soft pop or sunshine pop. What is so interesting about sunshine pop is Warner Brothers is helping to lead the way on the west coast, but the midwest, especially Chicago, and Texas, and the east coast in NY & Boston and especially England were flooding the market with sunshine pop in 1967. When I look at the Billlboard charts from 1967 it is shocking how many of the songs fit the sunshine pop genre and they are from all over. I have a huge 45 sunshine pop collection and certainly would like to help put together any compilations. What I really am enjoying is the modern soft pop music that started in England in the early 1980s with bands like the Smiths and erupted in Japan with P5 and others now is branching out into the bigger production upbeat sound of sunshine pop 99. The music goes round and round. Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The crowd seemed to be mostly older people sat in deck chairs, which made a change. I didn't have such a great view of the stage. Burt played piano, but as far as I noticed, he didn't sing. The orchestral backing was pretty good, but the singers were (IMHO) appalling. My favorite Bacharach material is the solo orchestral stuff he recorded for A&M in the late 60s and early 70s. The vocals on this stuff are sparse, with that cool detached sound you find on a lot of polydor stuff from the 70s. So the vocals as they were didn't appeal to me - nasty and pseudo-soulful - rather like these Boyzone-type bands (my sister likes them!). The material he played was pretty much his classic stuff, although he played things like 'walk on by', 'trains and boats and planes', 'one less bell to answer' etc in medley form, which was a bit odd. The crowd seemed quite happy, and it was actually nice to see such a wide cross-section of people singing along and loving it. I would have loved to hear stuff like 'pacific coast highway' and 'south american getaway', but I guess it wasn't to be. I left before the end; I presume he did some of the elvis costello stuff later on.

The orchestral backing > was pretty good, but the singers were (IMHO) appalling. I had a distinctly different experience. I love Bacharach's pop stuff from the '60s and early '70s, and that's mostly what he played. I'm a huge fan of the 3-disc boxed set, THE LOOK OF LOVE, for example - in fact, I attended last night's show with Alec Cumming, who served as associate producer for THE LOOK OF LOVE and wrote the liner notes for it as well. And he too thought it a terrific show. We were fifth row, center, and I can attest that Burt looks great. He sang two or three songs in his usual croak. The exception to that rule was "Alfie," which he actually managed quite nicely. I was pleasantly surprised - even relieved - that his singers sang the songs relatively straight with no more than a touch of histrionic R&B singing; they stayed pretty faithful to the original spirit of the material. I'm not crazy about medleys, either, but really, what else can he do? He couldn't begin to fit full renditions of all the songs people expect from him into a 1.5 hour set; he's had far too many hits. I thought the medleys were relatively satisfying. He did only one of the songs he wrote with Elvis C. - I Still Have That Other Girl. The horns were live, the strings were canned, but all the musicians were fine. All in all, it was a lovely evening - a cool breeze, a clear sky, and beautiful, smooth, elegant, sophisticated music. I can't imagine having left early; I'd have stayed another two hours if Burt had kept playing. And I rode the Cyclone when the show was over - a perfect night!

He's incredibly nice and very funny, and his stories about being a child TV star in the early 70s are amazing. I think he was Adam Ant's chauffeur for a short while. He's done soundtracks for Derek Jarman movies and more recently for Croupier, the latest by Mike Hodges (of Get Carter's fame!). He also plays with the Hangovers, the new band from Gina Birch of the Raincoats. Obviously the man never sleeps.

If exotica is holy to you, perhaps we shouldn't even try to discuss this topic. And I'm a bit unclear what you mean by "made up". But I'm going to assume that music that ISN'T made up would be music created as a true reflection of a musician's culture, background, surroundings and influences. By that definition Mr.Denny's music and most exotica would be inherently made up. Another word for that might be "contrived". In general these musicians were responding to a perceived commercial demand for music with an exotic, foreign, mysterious and quasi-Hawaiian feel. They weren't putting bird calls in their music in order to reflect the sound of the wild birds they heard every night growing up in Brooklyn or wherever they were from. That's what I would call contrived. But for me, contrived and cheap are not synonymous. You can contrive with inspiration and with ingenuity and with passion or you can contrive cheaply. To me exotica is a contrivance but in many cases, not a cheap one. And as far as the whole "lounge" question goes, I don't own a fez or a tiki mug and though I own a suit from that period, I wear it to funerals not bars. Having said that, a lot of my appreciation for this kind of music is connected to a "bachelor pad/lounge" ideal which was there in the fringe of my consciousness when I grew up When I listen to that kind of music - which is almost exclusively what I listen to lately - I always feel some kind of connection to that imagery, to that aesthetic. It's not that I imagine I'm in a lounge somewhere in the late fifties but somehow the idea of a place like that is always lurking in my listening process. Some people choose to express that connection externally, through clothing or furniture. I don't generally express myself that way but I don't assume that the poeple who do are all that different than me in their appreciation of the music It's true that some people are more into the fashion than the music but even those people are still responding to the music.

It's on Stanyan Records, Rod's label and is also produced by Rod. I have records with exclusively Bacharach covers. Then there are ones that alternate between the Beatles and Bacharach. And then there's that one - Ted Heath? - which is Bacharach, the Beatles and Bach. Just thought someone would want to know that Rod got in on the act. With nice results actually.

It's jazz, a music that Denny played with the same right as any other white American at that time and it has exotic "Hawaiian" influences, according to the place where he chose to live. Of course his music marks a step in the history of what would later be called "world music". Since there were records, musicians would be influenced by music from all over the world. But the word "cheesy" tells me a different story: Like performing a cheap copy of a music that was entirely invented by others, to cut off a piece of the commercial cake. And you can't say that of Martin Denny. He baked the cake. > Another word for that might be "contrived". That hits it much better. Sounds more like inventive than cheesy...

How do you get to be a mover or a shaker in record collecting? The two concepts almost seem mutually exclusive. "Oh, he's a very important record collector". Yeah I guess there are the dealers and the the compilation/researcher types. But in my experience those types usually feel like they're "above" all the human concerns of a normal record accumulator. I guess it's kind of cool to have the odd semi-famous musician or researcher on the list. I like owning a couple of CD's by guys - and potentially gals - who I sort of "know" from the list. And it's nice to have a few people who actually know more than you can pick up from looking at the back of a couple of records. But it's also nice to have enthusiasm and the joy of discovery, the kind of thing that rarely come from "important" people of any kind. Having interviewed well over a hundred record collectors for my last project, I actually find the Jerry Springer image fairly appropriate. Except most of us wouldn't break a chair over a guy's head for his opinion about Spanky McFarlane. Then again, if he was sleeping with my records...

Yesterday I was at Boders bookstore and saw the Exoticaquarium book. Looking at the cover, it looked like a great book - great cover, etc. Paging through it though I did get the feeling that much of it was a rehash of things I already knew - which is self-explanatory if much of the text was pulled from your and other web-sites. (Although it does have an introduction by Lenny Dee). I chose not to purchase the book, partly because it seemed a bit overpriced at $25, and partly because the book seemed to be geared as an introduction to the exotica scene. If I was not already familiar with the entire genre, or didn't already own more than half of the LPs, I would most probably snap it up. I also saw Eric Kohner's book "In the Groove: Vintage Record Graphics, 1940-60. I was more impressed with this book, perhaps because the graphics displayed are from the era 10-15 years before most of my own collection. The price is much better $19 and the intro is by Tony Bennett. One thing I liked more about 'Into the Groove' was that it seemed to be geared more toward graphic designers than the exotica scenesters - which somehow gave it much more credibility. I didn't buy this book either though, because I found the overall design of the book somewhat jarring. Many of the covers from that era are based on bright, primary colors, in a somewhat abstract cut-out fashion (think of Jim Flora's work) There wasn't enough white space seperating the various covers .... I found myself trying to look at one cover and being distracted by the colors from the neighbors, and result is likely to be (for me) a big headache. The left hand pages feature one entire record cover which extended all the way to the page margins, and I would have prefered to see a small white border - for some reason without that border I feel like the whole thing is slightly cropped and I'm missing something. I do expect though to purchase 'In the Groove' sometime soon though - the love of graphic design and the era is readily apparant and the book does fill a void in my collection. My 3 favorite books featuring record covers that overlap the exotica scene are below. All of them have a high percentage of records that I do not own, which means I page through them often and dream. 1. 'The Album Cover Art of Soundtracks' by Jastfelder/Kassel . Like "In the Groove", this also features one full cover (on the right hand pages), but this format is better because the actual size of the pages are close to being full album size. 2. Album Covers From the Vinyl Junkyard ... I like the way the covers are grouped in themes, plus there is plenty of white space 3. '1000 Record Covers' by Michael Ochs. It's thick (750 + pages) and seperated into decades. Of course, the first 350 pages from the 50's and the 60's are much better than the second 350 pages (70-s - 90's) Vern # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: "PREZ" PRADO (LSP1556) Date: 31 Jul 1999 16:04:22 +0200 Mimi Mayer wrote: >is there a CD reissue of the RCA-Victor lp "PREZ" PRADO (LSP1556)? i don't have the CD, but it does have the same title, so i assume it is a reisue: CD, RCA Living Stereo 26052 2, Germany, 1995 Johan quiet@village.uunet.be | ) / \ | ) / \ | ) / \ | ) / \ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Lydia Kavina: Music From The Ether Date: 31 Jul 1999 16:39:56 +0200 You have to like contemporary classical music to appreciate this CD.

I can't find it in my dictionary. I think it >means something like cheap, fake or so, no? Kitsch.... To be honest, I have no idea what "cheesy" really means or at least what the original meaning was. It's used in many different ways and one man's cheese is another man's cake. I'm pretty sure that I use the term in a variety of seemingly unrelated ways. We already had a "what is cheesy" debate on this list in my time here but maybe it's time for another installment. I don't think I mean "kitsch" when I say "cheesey" but I sometimes mean fake or cheap. And sometimes I mean "over the top". And sometimes I think I mean "insincere". I think I even use the word when I mean "too sugarey". But sometimes it's so cheesy I love it. And sometimes I love it in spite of how cheesy it is. Jim Nabors records are cheesy but I'm starting to like them. I find a lot of Barry White and even Isaac Hayes cheesy - in the "over-the-top" sense - but I've always loved them. A LOT of psychedelia is cheesy - insincere, sugary, over-the-top - but the cheesier the better for me. Like exotica, they were trying to assign a sound to a feeling. They were trying to make music that sounded like an acid trip and so they came up with a few contrived sounds and beat the hell out of them until you had no choice but to accept those sounds as inherently psychedelic. That's a lot like exotica, I think. Those fake hippy rebellion tunes on biker film soundtracks are cheesy but I can't get enough of them. A lot of those big choir records are cheesy. Have you ever heard the Ray Conniff Singers version of Deodato's version of the theme to 2001? That's cheese you can wrap around yourself like a blanket and I wanted the record as soon as I heard it. All "art" is a contrivance of some kind but some is produced more clumsily and with more stuff hanging out. When you use the term "jazz" with Martin Denny, you're using the term a lot more loosely than I do. I'd say he had "pretensions" to jazz as well as pretensions to a number of other things, including some concept of what was "exotic". It was a supreme contrivance. Those terms are inherently perjorative. But in this case and many others, this is contrived, pretentious, cheesy music that I love.

My thought is that The Three Suns did, indeed, originate this for popular consumption. With that in mind, it seems, most of this kind of trio music is indebted to the Three Suns. In fact, I have noticed the same repertoire is duplicated from what the Three Suns did. So if you said these other groups were clones of the Three Suns (or, to be less kind, ripped off the Three Suns) you might not be too far off. Just who would you classify as part of The Three Suns sound? Here are some I have found: Living Trio. (thanks Brad!) Don't know how many RCA Camden albums there are with this moniker. Wish I knew who the performers are. I think I heard the organist was Dick Hyman. Maybe RCA doesn't list the performers because it was a pick-up group from whomever was available.

International Award Series AK-181 Twilight Dance Time The Velvet Sounds International Award Series AK-189 Moonlight Dance Time The Velvet Sounds The Organ Happenings. Power Records did a bunch of albums with different group names. This one was closest to the Three Suns Sound and it may be the only one. Power DS 413 (Apple Honey Series) Organ Serenade The Organ Happenings I also recall someone on ebay trying to get people interested in The Three Suns interested in a record by a group with the same sound.

I've been having this debate off and on since the early days of the "so bad it's good" mentality. Try to see the logic of these next two sentences: I enjoy many many "exotica" and "lounge" recordings. I don't like anything that I consider cheesy. The key is that things I like I don't consider as cheesy, kitsch, camp, etc. . If I like it it's damned good and it would hardly matter if the consensus opinion told me otherwise. I would challenge others to take this point of view. Do you enjoy something *because* it is cheesy? Or do you enjoy a generally considered cheesy recording for some very special reason that has nothing to do with its "cheese factor"? Ok, for the sake of argument I'll grant that either reason might apply in individual cases. What I'm trying to get at is the image you convey to others when you call your like "cheesy" or "bad". Being a public spokesperson for this sort of music (via my radio program) I try to convey a positive image of this music that I love. Just a few weeks ago I announced " You are listening to My Vinyl Recliner, where you won't hear anything cheesy or kitsch. Here the music is just good clean fun." I think of many of the recording artist that we revere as artists who are misunderstood or under appreciated by the general public and it doesn't help when we use the same derogatory terms they use to dismiss this stuff. Nat's comments are helpful in that "cheesy" as a very useful descriptive. It is a convenient to use "cheesy" in certain situations that would otherwise cause more confusion than its worth. I could, at this point., dig my hole deeper but I think I'll just throw this out there to the recent "feeding frenzy" abounding on this list.

The fact that it was a cigarette ad (for Carlton cigarettes) wasn't the surprising part. What was unusual in this CD age was the ad featured a woman holding a 12 inch LP in her hand, sitting in front of an old 70's style phonograph turntable that had one LP playing and two more stacked up to be dropped later. The ad wasn't trying to be cute or funny or kitschy...it was just a straightforward ad that I might normally have easily skipped without paying much thought to it. It makes me wonder if the big companies will start using more LP themed ads to reach an older demographic. By the way, the surgeon warning says that "Smoking causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, and May Complicate Pregnacy" Fortunately there are no warnings concerning the ill effects of listening to or collecting LPs.

Still, I WANT TO KNOW! >RCA Camden CAS 2124 Heart of My Heart Living Trio 1967 Yeah I heard Dick Hyman too. On this list. There's no doubt they were trying to mimic the Three Suns here. First of all, they call them a trio, which they're not. It could only be their way to allude to the idea of "three". Second of all, the organ/accordion combination is pretty rare in my experience and whenever I hear it, I assume it's a Three Suns rip/tribute. I have a different record. "The Ballad of Easy Rider and other hits" in which they also cover "Turn Turn Turn" and "Leaving on a Jet Plane". So there's at least two of them. I can't think of another band with that sound unless you count every polka band.
