I'd love to see other people setting up boxes and posting some of their favorite, obscure tracks, just to whet our appetite. No longer do we have to settle for a simple review, when we can actually get snippets or songs to hear. In the meantime, if you like the John Barry tune, search out the CDs. Either the EMI Years one from Scamp, or the UL one from Capitol. I will say the UltraLounge is one of my favorite volumes (Mondo Hollywood), but on the other hand, Scamp rules.

For every Thomas Edison there's a Nikolai Tesla, for every Stan Lee, a Jack Chick. In some cases these outsiders are later recognized as brilliant innovators who created new paradigms far ahead of their times. In other cases, these figures fade into semi-obscurity, only to be remembered as curiosities and crackpots. Music, too, has generated its share of eccentrics -- perhaps more than any other art form in this century. This list spotlights some of our obscure, overlooked musical treasures: artists (and we use the term loosely here)whose willful weirdness and determination to follow their own strange muses have led them into uncharted musical territory. Also, it should be noted that, in the interests of space, some of our own favorites were left out -- apologies to fans of Tiny Tim, Shobee Taylor, Jandek, the Shaggs, and anyone else whose inspired lunacy didn't make the cut. Note: This list has been compiled with much love and respect to Irwin Chusid. Without his efforts much of this music would have been forgotten. # 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, 22 Oct 1999 19:07:06 EDT From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) And for a little Exotica break . . .

I've burned probably close to 500 CDs on my HP 7200 CDRW (at 2-speed), and they all work fine. (The 4 or 5 coasters I've made were due to my stupidity: one had a big piece of lint on it, the other times I forgot to turn off the screen saver or the disk defragmenter, etc.) I'm using a Pentium-100, btw, and there's a lot of editing etc. which can be done via Cool Edit. (Besides, those stand-alone CD burners are way too expensive.) Those cheapo blue Hi-Vals (not sure if there's any other color) have worked great for me; so have Maxells, TDKs, HPs, you name it, but the main thing going for the Hi-Vals is their price -- 80+ cents each if you hunt on the net. In this case (so far), you don't get what you pay for. Having said that, do *not* trust Hi-Vals, particularly their rewritable CDs, for your data. Entire albums of mp3s were chomped up in 10 seconds.

Philips is the only one (over here) that sells gold ones;, but they're way too expensive ($3.50). i currently stick with Lead data: the cheapest around ($1.50), and a near-blanc top. the advantage of the stand-alone unit is, that you can use your computer for whatever you want while recording. if you plan to do a lot of cd burning, that may be important. the disadvantage is, that it uses a copy protection scheme: you can't make a digital copy of something that was digitally recorded. the advantage of a computer CD burner was: the higher recording speed, but philips now has a double cd/CD-R deck, that can record at higher speeds. i don't trust the philips mechanism though, especially not in the cheaper models. i've had 3 machines in 1 year, and none of them worked longer that a couple of months. eventually, embarrassed with the situattion, they gave me the top-of-the-line model (860) at reduced price, and that one works... i think the technology isn't really bug-free yet.

This is apparently just over a week out of the editing room...it was shown on video and I don't know what its final destination is but it's worth keeping an eye out for if only for the performance footage -- mostly Ed Sullivan material with Keely Smith, Sam Butera, and The Witnesses. If you've only *heard* his act with Keely, you're missing out on 80% of the fun! I'd say there were at about a half-dozen performance numbers that ran at or close to their full length, and bits and pieces of at least twice that many, with dates ranging from the late '30s to 1974. You get to see and hear him in just about every musical mode, from the early New Orleans jazz combo through his big band, the Vegas period, his Twist movie, The Jungle Book, and finally back to the lounge in the 1970s. Weak points -- the biographical material is pretty shallow (if you're expecting a warts-and-all portrayal this isn't it) and unfortunately the only Keely footage they got their hands on dates back to the early 1980s (they tried but couldn't get her to sit for an interview, though she apparently did one for Vanity Fair that should show up in a month or two). It's also a little heavy on the stock footage, which I only forgave when it was in the "'50s Vegas At Night" mode. But oh, those performances! - -- Lazlo Nibble - lazlo@studio-nibble.com - http://www.studio-nibble.com -- # 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, 24 Oct 1999 00:22:02 -0600 From: Lazlo Nibble Subject: Re: (exotica) Cover Art of Sound Tracks On Fri, Oct 22, 1999 at 12:23:16AM -0500, Michael Toth wrote: > >One of my favorite 'record cover reproductions' type books is now > >available at a very good price.... and I wanted to share the good news > >with the rest of you. > > This is *the* single coolest 'record cover reproductions' type book > *I've* ever run across and hoped to get one some day.

A sad ending (I'm not sure if it was the print's fault but the last couple of minutes were. because of the dark, barely visible which attributed to the gloomy mood ) but idyllic pictures, it definitely had a somewhat National Geographic feeling about it. As said the movie was accompanied by a trio of musicians: leaded by Dutch jazz improviser Ton van Erp who was commissioned to specifically write a score for it last year for an arthouse anniversary. The score consisted of lots of marimba, a trombone, slide-guitar, double-bass and a sampler for sea effects, it captured the mood of the movie quite good. It was definitely something special. Next month Erich von Stroheim's "Greed" with the same format.

The Finnish literatureteacher Doctor Juka Ammondt is the last one to deny it. Singing Finnish tango's en Elvis songs in Latin is one big joke. But one with intellectual depth. At the same time he takes his singing career, even if he only started it round his fiftieth birthday, very seriously. His motto is: "Don't stop, but always take care of finding new paths to break barriers - of yourself and of others". Because: "This is the best way of promoting creativity". As teenager Juka Ammondt played the guitar and sang in a popband. Even then Elvis was his big hero. At university - first as student, later teaching German literature - he forgot his love of music. Like so many men his midlife-crisis made for a change. In 1988 his marriage broke en Ammondt found himself lonely and alone in a big house on one of the Finnish lakes. There, alone, he rediscovered the power of music. Five years later it ended in the making of the album "Surun Siivel", where the university teacher sings songs of the Finnish composer Toivo Karki. Still in the Finnish language. The same year followed "Tango Triste Finnicum", with Finnish tango's - yes, there are - and this time sung in Latin. And once on the Latin way two years later Ammondt made "The Legend Lives Forever in Latin" on the anniversary of Elvis 60th birthday. On this Ammondt sings Love Me Tender (Tedere me ama) and Can't Help Falling in Love (Non adamare non possums) amongst others. And that wasn't enough. In 1997 the album "Rocking in Latin" followed with pieces like Shake, Rattle and Roll (Quate, Crepa, Rota) and Blue Suede Shoes (Glaudi Calcei). Asking about Ammondt's fascination for singing in Latin he explains that Latin is an eternal language. "And what is better suited than an eternal language to make a living legend like Elvis truly immortal?

It was recorded on the beach in Waikiki at the Outrigger Canoe Club in 1963. Those pictured with Duke are the legendary Waikiki "beachboys" who taught tourists and Hollywood hoi poloi how to surf and paddle by day and how to sing, party and live by night. Sitting from left to right are: Splash Lyons, Fat (Abraham Kala), and Panama. back row left to right are Squeeze Kamana, Ox, Waltah Clarke, Kalakaua, Jimmy Hakuole, Harry Robello, Duke Kahanamoku, and Chick Daniels. from the original liner notes: "Waltah Clarke, once the country's leading retailers of Hawaiian sportswear, was a long time friend of the beachboys. Waltah felt that the boys and their music were a bit of Hawaiiana that should be preserved, so in 1963 he gave a party for them and successfully produced this album". and so he did... and that's why the boys are all wearing such coool shirts! you can check it out at cordinternational.com okole maluna, Fluid Floyd Taboo Records "The perpetual adolescents of the ocean... without these remarkable people the island would be nothing.
