That track is by far the worst on the album IMO. It's like all the annoying bits of Coldcut, DJ Food, the Double D and Steinski "Lessons", etc all rolled into one. Everyone keeps mentioning all the sampling, but it probably doesn't sample any more records than the average hip hop album, but the samples are in big chunks and more obvious, and there's a long list of cleared samples on the cover. The rest of the album is nice, but a bit emotionless. # 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. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2001 19:27:01 EDT From: Stilgloria@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Moonflight, by Vik Venus (Alias: Your Main Moon Man) In a message dated 7/22/01 1:33:41 PM, Dlsmay@aol.com writes: << Sorry for the blatant hype, but it should be of interest to many listers. - --David S. >> What?

She was 99. She and her husband, Lawrence Gelb, traveled to France in 1931 in search of new business opportunities. They discovered a new kind of hair coloring called Clairol. The pair bought $200 worth of Clairol and tested it at Abraham & Straus, a New York department store. Soon, the Clairol company set up offices in Manhattan. While promoting their discovery throughout the country, the couple chose to call the product a tint, instead of ``dye.'' At that time, it was still taboo for American women to ``dye'' their hair. see also: http://nytimes.com/2001/07/23/obituaries/23BOVE.html ==================== Bob Ferguson NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Bob Ferguson, who wrote the standard ``Wings of a Dove'' and produced records for Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner and other country music stars, died Sunday of cancer. He was 73. Ferguson, a native of Willow Springs, Mo., was hired in 1955 to produce films for the Tennessee Game & Fish Commission. He worked there until 1960, when he wrote and produced the No. 1 hit ``Wings of a Dove'' for Ferlin Husky. As a staff producer at RCA Records in the 1960s and early '70s, Ferguson worked with artists like Parton, Connie Smith, Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass, Jim Ed Brown, George Hamilton IV and Archie Campbell. He wrote ``The Carroll County Accident,'' a No. 2 hit for Wagoner. It was named the best country song of 1969 by the Country Music Association. =========== Sivaji Ganesan MADRAS, India (AP) -- Sivaji Ganesan, an Indian actor who appeared in more than 170 films in three languages, died Saturday. He was 77. V.C. Ganesan, as he was originally known, began acting in his teens. By the late 1940s he was playing lead roles in the theater. Ganesan made his screen debut in the 1952 Tamil language film ``Parasakthi.'' He acted in films in the Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam languages. Over the years, he developed an intense style of delivering dialogue. Indian trade journals called him the Marlon Brando of South Indian cinema. In 1996, the Indian government gave him the Dada Phalke award, the country's highest honor in the entertainment industry, for his lifetime contribution to Indian film. =========== Full story at: http://nytimes.com/2001/07/22/obituaries/22UHSE.html Beate Uhse, Entrepreneur in the Business of Erotic Goods, Dies at 81 By WOLFGANG SAXON Beate Uhse, who as a destitute war widow sold birth control pamphlets from a bicycle before going on to develop Europe's biggest emporium of erotic goods, died on Monday in a hospital in Switzerland. # 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. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2001 11:46:13 -0400 From: Will Straw Subject: Re: (exotica) Thrift Scores CA I think I was in the Palm Springs store last year -- is it a big 2nd-hand, junk store, with rows and rows of records in the back alcove kind of place.

It has a great "Hard Day's Night" which should be a bonus track should the Discotheque LPs ever see reissue. There are some other cool tracks, including a "Mondo Cane #2." >Also, I see an RS892 Discotheque (1966) This was issued AFTER Enoch Light >sold Command. There was also an RS873 Discotheque Dance Dance Dance >(1964). Could these be the same album? If not, who did 892? The 892 one (already noted as by Bobby Byrne) isn't as monolithically cool as the Light ones, but it's still quite nifty. I recently saw these three together as a boxed set called "Dance Dance Dance" which I didn't know existed.

It's cracked, but if I >allign the edges just right I can play it. EEK! This record, and the Dickie Goodman "Luna Trip" 45, which I suspect came first and "Vik" plagiarized, were both in HEAVY rotation in my childhood. In the late 80s, I replaced my WL-condition copies (that would be "Well-Loved" ;-) ) with minty fresh copies at record conventions. FYI, "Moonflight" was included on the out-of-print 3-CD Buddah Box set that still surfaces -- sometimes really cheap. (IMO, Goodman's "Luna Trip" is the much crazier and better of the two, with its Chipmunk-voice-style Man-In-The-Moon and "Walter Fun-kite"). Goodman was the KING of the "cut-in" interview record. Newer sampling law complications probably prevent this genre from legitimately resurfacing, and I think the Goodman CD compilation that surfaced a few years ago may have been a bootleg.) >The flip side is an actual song, not a sample-fest, which makes me wonder >who Vik Venus really was . . . . Considering the dubious identity of most of Buddah's roster, it could have been *anybody*. Strangely, there's *NO* mention of Vik Venus I've seen in that incredible new "Bubblegum Music Is the Naked Truth" book.

Someone - basic hip? - was asking about the Command record Vibrations. Well it turns out it was on my "for sale" shelf. I remember saying that the organ didn't have that normal Dick Hyman sound. And that's because it's not Dick. The electric organ and ondioline is by Milton Kraus. Also for sale on Command by the way: Electrodynamics by Dick Hyman Off Beat Percussion - Don Lamond A Cheerful Earful - Lew Davies I don't want to make this about selling so if you're interested, reply privately.

I was wondering if there is a tool for searching the list-archives. Can anyone advise, please? I am trying to find out more about "Mr. Continental" on the Ultra-Lounge series, and I am sure that someone this list must have discussed him at some time. Speaking of genres -- can anyone point me to an in-depth analysis of related genres, their etymology, origins, and definitions?

I have the lp (LSP 1773 RCA Victor, 1958), it is the Bob & Ray that have or had been around forever (Pop used to always tune in to their AM show, WMAL, in DC... 60s, I think). Anyway, yes, their are wacky skits and sound effects (I have put these on comps for a couple of you, I think), punctuating songs and music by Julie Andrews, Sauter Finnegan, Abbe Lane, Guckenheimer Sour Kraut Band, Lena Horne, Dick Schory's New Percussion Ensemble, etc. My advice, Chuck, is if it's cheap, by all means. If it's not, well here's what RCA says: "... no double-woofer household can be complete without this disc. Maybe that's immodest, but where else can you hear a human clock swinging in three dimensions? - or stereophonic bagpipes, doors or cats, for that matter?" - --- "m.ace" , etc, wrote: I'm thinkin'wacky sound effects > or something.
