Subject: Re: (exotica) am i the most widely ignored chap on this list >am i the most widely ignored chap on this list? Okay.

I have no idea of the hard statistics, but I know I've had plenty of question posts that went unanswered and info posts that went uncommented upon. I'm sure we all have.

I wonder sometimes if the comments on this list are in someway indicative of the decline in the interest of music, I admittedly have limited experience of classic exotica (denny, baxter etc..) living where I do these were not common purchases for individuals during the 1960's we tended more toward Donovan, and the incredible string band. However I do feel that the list occasionally does stray into the realms of snobbery when it comes to the "classic" exotica, unfortunately there is no soundtrack mailing list, or really weird shit mailing list, so I will continue to subscribe to this mailing list as it is usually interesting, and informative, and unbiased........ however Rhythms Contemporaines is one of the best LP's which I have ever puchased and I would thoroughly recommend it to all soundtrack lovers Kind Regards Ronnie PS has there ever been a thread about library music, surely this should be of interest to us all > > >am i the most widely ignored chap on this list? > > Okay.

I went into all the chain clothing stores - Abercrombie, Gap, Foot Locker, blah blah blah - and every fucking one of them has some tiki line going on.

There was a stack of about 15 LPs there. They were all ten inch 33 1/3 albums and all had the same cover FRANCIS, DAY & HUNTER but with a different title at the top. Most had no composer or arrangers names on them anywhere. This was a collection of library music (for radio station commerical beds etc...) Well, my friend saw them first so he got them all. We went back to his house and put one on. It was some of the most awesome, incredible, outrageous stuff I'd ever heard. Raymond Scott kind of stuff. I have no idea what anyone could have used this stuff for. Maybe as music in B movies? Someone had written on the front and back covers. The coolest record of them all had "STRICTLY PRAGMATIC" hand written on the cover. I ran to the store and bought a cassette (this was in the pre-pre-pre cdr days) and recorded the best of these records onto a tape and titled it (you guessed it) "THE BEST OF FRANCIS, DAY & HUNTER: STRICTLY PRAGMATIC." If anyone cares I can dig out this tape and see what artist names I was able to find on some of the records. Some of them were better than others but in the series there was not one single record that was a complete dud. If you ever see some of these my advice is BUY!

She was 69. Freberg, according to the comedian whom she married in 1959, died Friday in her Beverly Hills home of lung cancer. Before her association with her future husband, Donna Andresen worked as assistant to producer Jack Donohue on the popular TV comedy shows "Martin & Lewis," "George Gobel" and "Red Skelton." She also aided Donohue with the "Colgate Comedy Hour" and two TV specials for Frank Sinatra and worked as executive assistant to Peter Lawford on his "Thin Man" series for MGM studios. Originally described as Freberg's secretary when she joined him in 1958, Donna Andresen quickly became the satirist's producer and a year later his wife. She edited and produced his material throughout their marriage of more than four decades, including recordings, radio and television commercials, written materials and his syndicated radio show. In addition to her husband, she is survived by their two children, Donna Jean Freberg Ebsen and Donavan Freberg, and a granddaughter, Rylee Jean Ebsen. Memorial services are scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday at Westwood Village Memorial Park. The family has asked that any memorial donations be sent to the Children's Bureau of Southern California, Orange County Division, 50 S.

For more than four decades, Foster was a local legend in barrooms across Los Angeles. He was the self-proclaimed "World's Fastest Beer Drinker" =AD able to guzzle a pint of brew quicker than most of us could spill it on the floor =AD and a master performer of what he called "songs your mother wouldn't sing."=20 Sadly, Foster passed away Wednesday, May 10 at his home in Santa Monica after a long battle with prostate cancer, at the age of 68.=20 Foster was best known as proprietor of The Fox Inn, a popular west-side tavern, from 1961 to 1989. He performed there nightly, leading his patrons in song and often challenging unsuspecting beer drinkers to chugging races. But the highlight of each night was to see Foster chug a pint of beer while standing on his head.=20 - ----------------- Good Bye!, the Journal of Contemporary Obituaries, has been updated to reflect the deaths of March - April, 2000.

She was righter than I'd care to admit. I now have firewall software on all of my PC's, and every time I fire up a 'puter, I get a warning that RealAudio on my system is trying to "phone home." Hmmmmm...... I also get a report every time someone on the outside is sniffing my ports, an lemme tell ya it happens several times a day. Not that I have anything interesting to see - It's just eerie to know you are being snooped. It so happens that a standard install of Microsoft Windows 95/8/2k/NT will leave you wide-open to the world, especially if you do any kind of drive/printer sharing - but there are simple (and free) things you can do to keep the sharing active, but not create the digital equivalent of your pants around your ankles on main street.

HISTORY LESSON OF THE WEEK: It's a book! It's a couple CDs! It blows my mind! The lavish set titled 'MANHATTAN RESEARCH, INC.' (Basta, out now) ties together an incredible array of Raymond Scott's electronic music from the '50s and '60s. Something truly remarkable has been achieved here, as it writes an important new chapter into the public understanding and appreciation of Scott's life and career. Granted, it's widely known that he had a fantastical electronic music workshop built into his home. The 1997 reissues of his three-volume 'Soothing Sounds for Baby' started giving actual sound to what had been just biographical data for most people. Scott composed and produced music for commercials, films and his own amusement. However, due to the level of near-paranoid secrecy he employed, few have known the whole picture, only glimpses. The research that went into this project (in large part by Irwin Chusid and Gert-Jan Blom) is lovingly mirrored in the absolutely astounding 144-page full-color hardbound book that houses the two discs (designed by Piet Schreuders, who makes all releases on the Dutch Basta label worthy on purely visual terms alone). There are rare photos and documents, numerous interviews and essays, and not one element is sup erfluous. The overall effect of the entire package in sound and sight offers a vivid portrait of a creatively driven man. It reveals Scott's failings as well as his strengths, and in so doing he truly comes alive as an emotional creature. He was fascinated by the orderliness of sounds and machines, and he was also prone to all the doubts, frustrations, and wear and tear that are an inescapable part of a human being's life-span.
