Cool psych with a goodly dose of jazz. Another excellent soundtrack is from "Candy"; music by David Grusin (who doesn't even mention it on his web page). Highly recommended blend of psych and Now-Sound (except for the Byrds and Steppenwolf cuts). When downloading e-bay pics that show up as "html" rather than "jpeg" or "gif", just manually type in the extension (I use "jpg"). Paint Shop Pro handles them with ease, so I imagine Photo-shop will do the same.

Even black-velvet painting....often mass-produced, garish and featuring weeping elvises and bleeding bullfighters, velvet art is synonymous with kitsch. But now its gaining respectability, or at least the art of the late American expatriate Edgar Leeteg is. "Leeteg coined everything that we think of today as velvet," says John Turner, co-curator of a museum show of black-velvet painting that runs until April 4 at the Huntington Beach Art Center in CA. "He is the Rembrandt of black velvet." The exhibition, titled "A Rascal in Paradise," after the book by James Michener that devotes a chapter to Leeteg, features 14 paintings and a grass-canopied bamboo tiki bar. At the opening the curators wore leis. Is the exhibition just a fluke? Not according to David Price, who co-founded Seattle's Museum of Velvet Painting a year ago. His museum...is showing in nightclubs until it finds a permanent home. "I have a passion for it," he says. "It might just be a fetish." Mr. Turner credits renewed interest in Leeteg to "a rebirth of the Polynesian tiki movement," that 1950s decorative homage to the South Pacific. Think umbrella-topped drinks, ukelele music and bamboo-framed paintings of hula girls, a popular theme with the artist. Leeteg was a minor celebrity in the South Pacific, as much for his wild ways as for his artwork. In a letter to his art dealer he described himself as a "fornicating, gin-soaked dopehead." Collectors prefer to call him..."the American Gaugin." The artist sold his first painting in 1933 for $4 and a sandwich. Prices rose to about $15,000 after his death in the 1950s, when Michener immortalized him...Today, his works would bring about $5,000. Would Leeteg have approved of his newfound museum respectability? He once wrote, "I frankly would rather have my paintings displayed in a gin mill...than buried up with the rest of dead art." END Whoda thunk it? Ok wheeler dealers, hit the thrifts and then on to E-Bay. My main question though is why does the exhibit need co-curators? Day and night bartenders?

"The job of any record label should be to reach out to a given artist's fans by any means necessary," said Jonathan Poneman, co-founder and CEO of Sub Pop. "Let others debate the so-called MP3 controversy; Sub Pop is ready to do it's job." Sub Pop gained notoriety in the late 80s with early releases by Seattle rock staples Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Mudhoney, as well as national bands Afghan Whigs, L7, Reverend Horton Heat, and countless others. This arrangement with MP3.com will highlight Sub Pop's current roster, releasing single tracks from the label's new breed of successful artists. The initial offering of downloadable tracks will include: Saint Etienne, "Sylvie" (radio edit)- from Good Humor More than just a band, Saint Etienne has become something of a sensation, gaining new fans at an alarming rate. Saint Etienne will be turning heads and wooing the masses in Spring, as they embark on their first comprehensive U.S. tour. The Pernice Brothers, "Overcome By Happiness" - from Overcome By Happiness The Pernice Brothers have been embraced by critics and fans alike with their debut release, Overcome By Happiness. The album was named in several year-end top ten lists, including The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and Magnet. The Murder City Devils, "I Want A Lot Now (So Come On)" - from Empty Bottles Broken Hearts Whether playing small clubs or sharing an arena's stage with Pearl Jam, The Murder City Devils gain hundreds of new fans nightly, as people flock to the stage to revel in the band's literally fiery performances. Combustible Edison, "Laura's Aura" - from Impossible World Combustible Edison spent 1997 recording Impossible World, which sees the band maintaining their trademark easy listening / lounge pop sound, while adding an electronic edge. "Clearly, Sub Pop understands that to market music, one must go to the music buyers. Sub Pop has a rich history in the music industry and their progressive approach to music marketing while embracing the Internet, coupled with their excellent roster, positions them well for the future," said Michael Robertson, digital music guru and CEO of MP3.com. MP3.com is the number one music download site on the Internet, logging millions of monthly visitors in search of great, new music and news of the ever-burgeoning digital music revolution. MP3.com has exploded exponentially over the last year as music lovers have discovered the future of music delivery. The site is the clear and undisputed leader in providing MP3 formatted music to consumers. The Webby-nominated MP3.com hosts tens of thousands of songs from many thousands of artists available for download in the MP3 audio format. MP3.com has busily championed artists' rights while facilitating many tens of millions of legal downloads -- over 14 million to date. Sub Pop Records expects to release more tracks with MP3.com as part of the effort to broaden it's artists' exposure via improving technologies.

Same thing with Nino Nardini. As for the Daktaris, it's not bad but when you've got all those amazing Fela cd's available, why bother with a pale imitation? In general, none of these cd's live up to the hype of the liner notes found on the back of each one. I haven't heard the Spike's Choice compilation, but I have a feeling that by virtue of its variety and (I assume) "best picks" aspect since the songs were originally released as singles, its probably the one to get. Of course, if Br. Cleve says the Sugarman Three are worth seeing live, he's probably right. # 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: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 01:09:37 -0500 From: "Br.

She accepted her trophy with thankfulness and humor. When the first of her 11 grandchildren was born, Page noted backstage that her family members asked what they should call her. ``Grammy,'' Page replied, ``because I'll never get one. Now they can call me grandma.'' *------ LOS ANGELES (AP) -- If anyone should get an award for lasting through the changing times, it's Burt Bacharach, who has won a Grammy in three different decades. He received his first in 1967, two in 1969 and another in 1986 before winning again this year. ``It's really very significant for me and my work as I have been able to span as many decades -- I'd like to go another 10,'' he said. This year he and singer Elvis Costello won for best pop collaboration with vocals for ``I Still Have That Other Girl.'' ``I can't say I've learned any of Burt's secrets because I can't write like him,'' said Costello, who has gained fame for pop songs like ``Veronica.'' Costello said the two have enjoyed working together and just finished recording music for the upcoming ``Austin Powers'' sequel the night before the ceremony. ``This has been among the most exciting things I have ever done,'' Costello said. ``It was great to sit at the piano and write together.'' # 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: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 12:41:16 -0500 From: "Rajnai, Charles, NPG" Subject: RE: (exotica) Sheet music > Came across this place where you can download sheet music (including > individual pieces). > > Looks interesting. > > http://sunhawk.com > This place would be cool if they had a bigger library....thanx for the lead. surfing the chaos, Charlieman # 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: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 19:13:29 +0100 From: "Marco \"Kallie\" Kalnenek" Subject: Re: (exotica) Schlager/Ye-Ye Brian Karasick wrote: > I've never been able to give the > term [Schlager] an adequate translation into English > I'm discovering > what is kind of the French equivalent of Schlager (they use the term "Ye-Ye" which is > equally untranslateable) I don't think the French 'Ye-Ye' is the equivalent of the Schlager.

But I just had to share yesterday's vinyl karma experience with somebody who might appreciate it! I told my wife about it, but she just thinks I'm nuts. Yesterday, I went into my local used record emporium - an ENORMOUS cavern of a place with (supposedly) over two million records in stock and where they never met an inflated price they didn't like (you can buy a beat-to-hell mono copy of "African Jazz" for $150--I'm not kidding!). Decided to rummage around in the ethnic music section, hoping maybe the staff price gouger hadn't made it that far. While going through the "Far East" section I ran across an apparently unplayed (and unpriced) stereo copy of "Orienta" by the Markko Polo Adventurers. I strolled up to the front (a three day hike), shoved it in front of the serial killer behind the cash register and said "How much for this?". His eyes lit up. He said, "Ooh, Living Stereo! And unplayed, too. Wow!" My heart sank. I knew what was coming next. After hemming and hawing for a minute, he looked up and said, "Seven- ninety-eight?". Knowing this place, that could very well mean seven- HUNDRED-and ninety-eight dollars, so I coolly asked, "Seven DOLLARS and ninety-eight cents?". "Yeah," he answered. "That okay?" I quickly coughed up the dough and beat it out the door, not quite believing my incredible luck. For those of you who find these kind of bargains all the time, this might not seem like a very big deal. But around here, you just don't see stuff like this and, if you do, you can bet you'll have to take out a second mortgage to buy it. This copy of "Orienta" looks like it's never felt the stylus before. Absolute stone mint beauty! I also bagged a sealed stereo copy of Roger King Mozian's famous "El Twist". So take a serial killer to lunch this week. Maybe he's got some records in the basement he'll sell cheap.

Just got the Moon Gas/Twilight Zone two-fer a couple of days ago from Jack Diamond. and All I can say Is WOW! Can you believe I had never heard Moon Gas before? (Well I can't) And the timing! I had been playing with running backround sounds on web pages the night before, and thought that it would be fun to loop something as music-bed toa web page. It was late and I was out of steam, so I quit. The next day my package arrived, and as soon as the cd tray closed I FUCKIN JUMPED OUT OF MY SKIN! I fired up the Soundedit16, and in 5 minutes had a peerfect loop of the first few bars of Moon Gas. In ten more minutes it was up on the site and incorporated into the background of my "streaming audio" page. I mention this for a two reasons: 1) to hip y'all to a great record 2) to find out if this sound file is being heard. 1) What can I say? Dick Hyman + the ethereal and beeyoooteeeful voice of Mary Mayo. It's freaky and quirky and electonic-y and FUN! I also got the Celebs at their worst vol 1 and 2. I read the posts about #2 being a little thin, but I have not had a chance to listen yet. Vol 1 is a freakin' riot. I love stuff like that. 2) I have been getting a lot of hits on the site (and nobody knows about it but the list) , but not much feedback. I'm interested in finding out if the streaming audio is working okay, and at what speeds. Theoretically a 28.8 modem would receive the Fantastica! stream, but would like to hear your experience. Also, the Moon Gas loop Should play automatically when a user accesses the "streaming" page - I think this might be browser-dependant and am therefore quite interested in hearing if it's working for you. If you have not been to the page to sample the hour-long Mp3 stream of Fantastica! do yourself a favor and make time to do it. You will be astounded by this excellent program. Http://xtabay.com from there click on the "streaming audio" link. 2.5) Who is accessing the site from the host .firewall.cacourt.us.gov??? yer scarin' me.

They seem fine to me. You do understand though, that fakebooks are not in any way a bar by bar transcription of recordings. They supply the lead melody, chords, basic structure.

There was some discussion on him earlier, when I posed the same question, but apparently he had a TV show in the 50's in LA or something and also must have cut a record on Capitol. I couldn't find a track list or anything, and have tried contacting Capitol, to no avail. If you find anything else out, let me know!

In fact, I recently swapped a few discs with ten or so albums. It's a great way to test stuff out. And for those lawyer types who are out there, I could easily cut my own CD with a CD burner, but I'd rather buy the original. Don't know why. So, now I know for sure I want to get the Baxter 2 disc set (whereas before it wasn't even on my list), but I want to stay away from "You Can Be Wrong About Boys." Before I don't think I would have bought either, but I might have picked YCBWAB at cut-out price, just because it's on sequel. Now I can be a well-informed consumer. Also, I have used them to create my own "Greatest Hits" compilations, although for decidedly non-Exotica groups, where a nice, single disc Greatest Hits disc just doesn't exist. It's handy.
