LOS ANGELES (AP) _ A judge cleared the way for A&M Records founders Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss to boost the amount they are seeking in their lawsuit against PolyGram from $5.6 million to $200 million. In their original lawsuit, trumpeter Alpert and his partner claimed PolyGram shorted them $3.63 million in 1994 earnings and $2 million in a mishandled Canadian tax refund claim. In addition to increasing the damages sought, the pair also added Universal Music as a defendant. PolyGram bought A&M Records in 1989, but was acquired by Seagram Co.'s Universal Music last year. A&M has since become a part of Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records. The revised lawsuit claimed Universal executives destroyed A&M Records following Universal Music Group's $10.4 billion acquisition of Polygram. Universal Music spokesman Bob Bernstein had no comment. === "It's just my nature to do weird stuff." - Les Baxter Astroslut website: cuming soon! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I've just received my own copy of this issue of Hermenaut, and it's a hefty beaut! Everyone should have a copy! - -Lou Magazines and Journals section http://www.chronicle.com/daily/99/08/99081901j.htm The Chronicle of Higher Education MAGAZINES & JOURNALS A glance at the summer issue of "Hermenaut": The plague of "fake authenticity" In his introduction to a special issue about "fake authenticity," Joshua Glenn, the journal's editor, asks: "Need an adjective to describe bars or restaurants with authentic themes ... or anything and everything re-enacted, authentically reproduced, and Disneyfied in general? Try: 'fake-authentic.'" He writes that "fake authenticity is that which is false, in the sense of 'counterfeited'." The "fake," he suggests, "is simply 'kitsch,' which can be transformed by the lovingly ironic person into 'camp.'" However, the ubiquitous "'fake-authentic' is nothing but 'cheese.'" Mr. Glenn says that the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was the first to describe elements of fake authenticity, and that Theodor Adorno and Jean Baudrillard noted its pervasiveness in 20th-century culture. Most distressing today, Mr. Glenn suggests, are such cultural phenomena as the national chain of Southern-juke-joint-theme restaurants, House of Blues, in which "ersatz graffiti confronts you in the toilet; pretend tobacco stains dot the ceilings." That indulgence in "simulacra," he proposes, is so "over-the-top" that it actually "rubs our noses in the impossibility of ever discovering an authenticity which has not always already been commodified." As bleak as all that sounds, Mr. Glenn suggests there may be a way out through artistic creation informed by irony -- not "hip, sarcastic glibness." Rather: "The authenticity-seeking ironist-artist knows that authenticity is not out there somewhere. It needs to be 'created,'" and he suggests, apparently not ironically, that the "antihero of authenticity" must be "unafraid of seeming insincere, or even fake."

I, for the most part, agree with Nat (heck, he mentioned me, so how bad COULD I feel?), although on point of accuracy, Rockabilly was one previous incarnation of Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues (or Blues and Rhythm, which is the order I prefer, it sounds cooler) was another. If you would like some examples: 1. Howlin' Wolf's howling was his attempt to emulate Jimmie Rodgers' yodeling (by the way, there is such a thing as African yodeling, as well, though I am certainly not asserting that Rodgers heard it) 2. Hank Williams was influenced by an African-American nicknamed Tee Tot. 3. Zydeco uses the accordion frequently, an instrument brought to the Louisiana area by German immigrants, but is also a form steeped in the Blues. 4. Bluegrass uses the banjo frequently, an instrument that traces it's roots to Africa. The old axiom "There's nothing new under the sun", isn't too far-fetched an idea when applied to music. The answer to the question is that their really isn't an answer. Not really one that can be put in, um, Black and White terms! Had you asked me this ten years ago, I would have given a different answer, but as I collect, the more I know, the less I know. It actually is a rather nice fix to be in.

That's true, isn't it? But at least the musicians on both sides of the brightness spectrum seemed to know very well what the others did and not only that: they constantly took from and influenced each other. To me it looks like many things in society: Culture and politics don't follow the same rules. What's new to me is the actual knowledge of very early records that prove this.

He was 59. Rory Storm and the Hurricanes was one of Liverpool's most popular bands in the years before Beatlemania, but unlike a host of other Merseyside bands, it never had a record on the British hit charts. Byrne and Alan Caldwell, who took the stage name of Rory Storm, started playing together in 1957 in a skiffle band called The Raving Texans, which combined elements of jazz, blues, country and folk. The group became the Hurricanes in 1959. With Starr on drums, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes played at the Kaiserkeller in Hamburg, Germany, in late 1960, getting star billing over The Beatles. Starr joined The Beatles in 1962. The Hurricanes continued performing until 1967. Caldwell died in 1972, and Byrne went to work as an ambulance driver the same year. # 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: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 09:22:48 -0500 From: kingkini@tamboo.com Subject: (exotica) Re: Re: house industries - tiki stuff >I said, I don't see a real Tiki font. what's a "real" tiki font?! >I share this opinion >with other Tiki experts. what is a tiki expert?! >BTW: I like your homepage as well! > thank you! coming from a tiki expert like yourself that is a nice compliment!!

Come on, King! That's not so hard to understand. A font that corresponds to the Tiki-style, not just any style of the 50s! You would want to see bamboo elements, Tikis, Tiki-faces, Southsea patterns, like those of Trader Vic's Wall papers, maybe torch flames, etc. > what is a tiki expert?!

I'm fine... these fonts have all been well known before; they're just not explicit tiki-ish. > maybe i will develop one... That would be absolutely wonderful! I will make one too then! Deal?

Starting next month eBay is going to start charging a non-refundable fee of $1.00 for setting a reserve price in an auction. The result: either records will be listed at the real selling price (hooray!!) or records will starting costing a dollar more (boo!) I am happy to hear this news because I personnally hate bidding an a record I want only to find out that the real price of the thing is a damn SECRET! I am hoping that record prices will soon drop on eBay as sellers start listing the real purchase price.

The recently republished 1980 novel by eccentric French torch singer Serge Gainsbourg wonders just that. 'Evguenie Sokolov' grew up ashamed of his chronic gas, but once he learns how to make gasograms, he becomes the darling of the art world. Sophomoric, giddy and insightful, this quick read proves just how well Gainsbourg understood the science of selling controversy and the troubles that come with being an enfant terrible."

This record was just up on my chopping block and I'm surprised to say that it survived the cut. But the jury's still out on "Voodoo Suite", a similar LP he made in collaboration with Perez Prado. I'm trying to get rid of as many records as I "can" - or at least 300 - and so any record that I suspect myself of keeping more for what it represents than for what it actually is, becomes a prime suspect. I was excited by the idea of the Shorty Rogers record more than I was when I actually heard it. It has energy for sure and some nice passages but it's a bit lazy, empty and repetitive in spots as it tries to stretch these few ideas over two sides. But as it turns out, it's good enough to keep. Just. I don't think I'll be keeping the Shorty/Perez record however unless my love for Perez causes me to chicken out on my resolve. I'm up to 200 records on their way out. If I need one more to hit 300, Voodoo Suite will go.
