Very moody, dark and intellegent. A massive classic! Diamonds - A one trick pony but a top quality and very rare LP now reis= sued and available. High speed bass-driven jazz with plenty of breaks and hi= gh drama. A massive classic too. Fear is the Key - Legendary jazz soundtrack by some legendary jazz performers including Tubby Hayes. Very cool but also very jazzy, featur= ing a 10 minute piece, Car Chase with sirens, engine sounds etc. Top! Roy Budd Plays Great Songs and Themes - This is a 1970s Roy Budd compliation which the Sound Spectrum took tracks from for its compilati= on (and until 1990s reissue fever, this was the only place, other than the= original 45, you could get the Get Carter theme). The LP features trac= ks from Get Carter, Wild Geese, Soldier Blue and others. Pretty cool but o= nly really because of the Get Carter tracks. Wild Geese - Average, mostly orchestral soundtrack Paper Tiger - As above, but more boring Soldier Blue - Never heard it but selected tracks are on the Plays Grea= t Songs and Themes LP - average orchestral. I think thats it. Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.

(This store at the corner is getting rid of tons of stuff for a quarter. That's why I bought the Bobby Goldsboro record) Rita Pavone. I bought it partly because the name seemed slightly familiar - like one of those names that pops up here - but mostly because it looked like the right era. Even though it's on RCA, at first I thought all the liner notes were in Italian but I was wrong. It seems it's her first record, from 1963 You know that fine line separating inspired kitsch from annoying crap? This keeps just falling over on both sides. I have a copy of this European"girly go-go ya-ya" tape that Moritz made for Brian and Cheryl. She must be on that. Two songs in particular would fit right into that narrow little groove. "Clementine Cherie" and "Sul Cuccuzolo". Tell me they're "ya-ya" classics. And if this is somebody's holy grail, if they need it more than I do, I'd gladly trade it.

Of course, the "Tiki" refers to the packaging, not necessarily the disc's contents. (After all, who among us was disappointed to find zero leopard songs on the last sampler?) Aside from the selections from the last six volumes, the "On the Rocks" discs and the Baxter/Gleason/Denny collections, there are six bonus tracks that haven't appeared on any U-L comp before and two hidden tracks. The first hidden track is another one from the Continental ladies' man who has shown up on several of the most recent volumes. But the second hidden track is a cool bongo lesson from an old "how-to" record, and it lasts for several minutes. All in all, a very worthy purchase and a welcome sign that the U-L is once again alive and well. --Rod # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Brian Karasick" Subject: (exotica) New from AtaTak!

Too bad, however, there was no mention made of the latest release on AtaTak; The Bad Examples - "Electro Tiki". This is the third release by this band and in my opinion the best! Imagine the combination of Tiki influenced - easy - electronics if you can. Highly recommended to all list members. Cover art is another Moritz R masterpiece!

Smells Like's series of long-awaited, hotly anticipated Lee Hazelwood reissues kicks off with the release of this 1970 album. Recorded in his prime, Cowboy is a singular synthesis of rambling cowboy wisdom, moody, rockabilly-inflected rhythms, dark, poetic lyrics, hard luck tales, esoteric images, pragmatic politics and wry love odes. Vocalists Nina Lizell and Susie Jane Hokum lend thei= r heavenly voices to this album, making for some sophisticated and come-hither duo stylings. Awarded a gold record in Sweden, too! A truly great album and a more than worthy introduction to the strange and wonderful world of Lee Hazelwood's mind." $15.00 HAZELWOOD, LEE: Farmisht Flatulence, Origami, Arf!!! and Me CD (SLR 031). "Recorded in Tempe in 1997, this is the first Lee Hazelwood solo album released domestically in over two decades. Farmisht is a collection of po= p standards that Lee grew up with and has sung all his life. His voice has matured from the pure baritone drawl deployed in the 60s and 70s to a seasoned, smoky croon. The Al Casey Combo, a group who knew their way around the lounge long before the words 'space-age' and 'bachelor' ever became common currency, back up Lee on such classic vocal standards as 'Ain't Misbehavin'' and 'Don't Get Around Much any More.' A classic and classy tribute from a man who's been there and back." $15.00 _____________________________________________ SUB ROSA (BELGIUM): VA: Lunapark 0,10 CD (SR 080).

Hirt will also be remembered Sunday with a special parade at the conclusion of the 30th annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Friends and fans from around the world attended the funeral and are expected to take part in the parade. Flags are at half-staff in New Orleans today, and Mayor Marc Morial ordered them to remain at half-staff through Sunday in honor of the legendary trumpet player's contributions to the culture, legacy and tourism of New Orleans. Morial said a committee will be appointed to create a permanent Memorial to Hirt in the city. Hirt's career included 21 Grammy nominations, and he won a Grammy in 1964 for the hit ``Java.'' He was a star on Bourbon Street, entertaining visitors for decades. Hirt performed for six presidents, at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy, and during a visit by Pope John Paul II in 1984. His accomplishments included recording 55 albums, many of which went gold and platinum, and a rendition of ``Flight of the Bumblebee'' that became the theme song for television's Green Hornet. He had his own CBS television variety show in the late 1960s. Hirt continued performing at on Bourbon Street at the Chris Owens Club until he was hospitalized last month. *Oliver Reed LONDON (AP) -- Oliver Reed, the feisty, hard-drinking actor who was as well known for his antics off screen as he was for his performances on screen, died Sunday in Malta. He was 61. Reed, who played the fearsome Bill Sikes in the 1968 musical ``Oliver!'', died on the way to a hospital after taking ill while drinking with friends in a bar in the Maltese capital, Valetta, police said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed. Reed was on the Mediterranean island filming a new movie, ``The Gladiator.'' His 53 films include ``Women in Love,'' ``The Devils,'' and ``Tommy,'' all directed by the eccentric Englishman Ken Russell. Unlike some stars who need elaborate explication of their roles, Reed was content, Russell said, to create his own shorthand as a way of understanding his character: ``moody one, moody two, or moody three ... depending on the intensity of the smoldering meanness required.'' But Reed was often better-known for misdeeds away from the camera and well-publicized drinking bouts. LONDON, May 3 (UPI) -- Oliver Reed, an actor whose ``character you love to hate'' roles were often echoed in his off-screen life, has died. He was 61. Police say Reed became ill Sunday while drinking with friends on Malta and died en route to a hospital. While an autopsy will be performed, authorities say they have no reason to suspect anything but a natural death. Perhaps Reed's most known roles were at Bill Sikes in ``Oliver!'' and as the stepfather in ``Tommy.'' Reed was in Malta working on ``The Gladiator'' when he died. In what would have been his 100th film or television role, Reed was appearing in "The Gladiator," a movie directed by Ridley Scott and produced by Steven Spielberg. He was playing Proximo, a gladiator trainer. He is credited with appearances in more than 53 films, including several directed by Ken Russell. The films he made with Russell, such as ``Tommy,'' Women in Love,`` and ''The Devils`` -- mark some of Reed's most memorable roles. Playing the sullen Bill Sikes in the musical ``Oliver!'' was another high point and was typical of the brooding character Reed so often portrayed. But the hard-living actor was also well known for his lifestyle. He once said: ``I like the effect drink has on me. What's the point of staying sober?'' As if to support that he once arrived at the Galway, Ireland, airport lying drunk on the barrage conveyor. He was ordered out of a Madrid, Spain, hotel after jumping nude into a large fish tank. Reed was born Feb. 13, 1938, in Wimbledon. While untrained as an actor, Reed was cast as Richard I on a children's serial on the BBC. He was married twice and his current wife, Josephine, is among his survivors. He also had two children.

(AP) -- Roderick Thorp, a master of suspense fiction whose best-selling novels ``Die Hard'' and ``The Detective'' became popular movies, died Wednesday of a heart attack. He was 62. Thorp's career spanned more than three decades. Born in New York City on Sept. 1, 1936, he won prizes for short-story writing while attending City College of New York but was unable to find success as an author after graduation. Instead, he went to work in his father's private detective business. Over nine years, he gathered knowledge that stood him in good stead in his writing career. Success as an author came with his 1966 book ``The Detective.'' It sold millions of copies worldwide and was turned into a movie starring Frank Sinatra and Lee Remick. He taught literature at Ramapo College in Mahwah, N.J., then moved to Los Angeles in 1976. His 1979 detective novel ``Nothing Lasts Forever'' was renamed ``Die Hard'' in its second edition, which later became a 1988 hit movie starring Bruce Willis. One of his later books was 1995's well-reviewed ``River: A Novel of the Green River Killings.'' It was a fictionalized account of an unsolved series of murders that occurred in the 1980s in the Pacific Northwest.

Tranquility Bass turns in one of very few weak takes, but who these days could be expected to do anything to improve upon Louie Prima's ubiquitous "Jump Jive an' Wail"? Elsewhere on the record, subtitled "Electronic Excursions in Hi-Fidelity," Gearwhore does the James Bond theme, Meat Beat Manifesto tweaks Elmer Bernstein, the Rip-off Artist spoofs a Dean Martin-Julie London smooch-a-thon and Uberzone gets the opportunity to re-exoticize Martin Denny. Other contributors include u-ziq (Dean Elliott), Gus Gus (Leroy Holmes), Luke (aka Wagon Christ aka Plug) Vivert (April Stevens) and Eat Static (John Buzon Trio.) Q-Burns Abstract Message revitalizes Yma Sumac, and Omni Trio scores John Barry. Sixteen tracks in all -- out 6/8 from The Right Stuff record label. (Beech) SOUND FILE OF THE WEEK: The stylish folks at Volkswagen haven't yet managed to put together a CD of all the wise song choices that enliven their commercials, but they have made one of the finest among them available for free at their web site. The page at http://www3.vw.com/vwworld/music.htm houses a list of many of the latest VW commercials, including music by Charles Mingus, Stereolab and Spiritualized. But the real reason to check out this site is the opportunity to download a one-minute MP3, WAV or AIF file of "Jung at Heart," the backing music to the much talked about JETTA commercial in which a pair of New Orleans tourists discover an entire street life attuned to the pulse of their car's tape deck. The song is attributed to MASTER CYLINDER. Also available here: Hector Varela's "Palomita Blanca," from the Passat commercial in which two parents flirt from matching black cars.

While not a "tiki" restaurant per se, Weylu's, an Oriental restaurant complex, is a gorgeous, ornate structure - the architectural equivalent of Les Baxter's PORTS OF PLEASURE or of a Tak Shindo record. The funny thing is: Weylu's owes a huge amount of back taxes, and the City of Saugus has threatened to forclose on them. Saugus gave pause, though, and asked the musical question: "What are we gonna do with a huge building shaped like the imperial city?"

In the late 1950s, we lived in Northern Manitoba, in a Native community, and had no television. Once a week, someone set up a 16mm projector in an old schoolhouse and showed movies. My earliest movie memory is of a long, long pirate swashbuckler that astounded me but wore me out . . . years later, I looked up Ghost of the China Seas in Leonard Maltin and found out it was about 78 minutes in length, a cheap film shot mostly in a bathtub. But we had a record player, and I remember a Burl Ives record being played over and over again. "A little green frog swimming in the water, a little green frog doin' what he oughter .. . " or something like that. Eventually, we moved down south and my father, a trumpeter, jumped aboard the Tijuana Brass craze.

So, we're thinking of recording our own gospel song called "Don't Mock the Lord" for next week's show.

I think I own everything of Tomita and I do NOT agree. A comparison with Perrey & Kingsley wouldn't come to my mind: That's a totally different cup of tea. Tomita was the one who stepped into the classic-interpreting footprints of Walter Carlos. And he did it in a different unique, yet interesting way: The sound worlds he created, were really new then and not heard before. Especially the synthesizer sounds that sounded like voices were an exciting new experience at that time. Every once in while I find myself putting on headphones and listening to a couple of Tomita classics.

The elements that distinguish him the most from other artists we talk about in this list, are the influences of "classical" music, i.e. modern classic. It reminds one of Steve Reich or Terry Riley. In his early recordings there is still a heavy Exotic part. Yet everything is performed with a sort of natural primitivism, that is hard to describe. The entire personality incl. his "story" is so unique that any comparison cannot fully catch what it's all about.

Its almost all gentle instrumental soundtrack meloies, with a couple of oh so sexy spoken word songs. Wonderful soft Bacharac influenced melodies that are perfect for the wee wee hours or your first cup of coffee on an early breezy sunny Sunday morning. Theres nothing funky or hard going on here, no driving drum beats until the last couple of songs. The music floats gently until the end of the cd and then you want to dance and then its all soft again. The cd cover says "Rare Gems from the Italian Erotic Archive" I don't recognize these songs on other comps but most of the songs are gems. My only complaint is the cd could be longer, but its well worth the $11 dusty sells it for. "Italian Girls Like" Also on Dagored (1999) More great Italian movie themes from the late '60's early/mid '70's. The music is all over the spectrum with rocking now sounds, soft melodies, nice late nite jazzy instrumentals, dreamy vocal ballads, spy jazz, rock and blacksploitation. Some of the songs are very short and the cd is under 50 minutes. There's nothing grounbreaking on here but I like most of the songs on this cd alot and can't believe how many cds the Italian labels have put out over the last four years. The songs on here do not compare with the best from Irma or Right Tempo but this is another wonderful Italian soundrack compolation.

What a wonderful song and you can imagine all the confusion that surrounded it when it first came out. All those gentleman from the late 1950's taking off their hats to scratch their heads and wonder how could a Nash Rambler in second gear be faster than the mighty Cadillac. I wonder what they told their girl sitting next to them in their 58 chevy? Those playmates knew how fast a Nash Rambler really was!

But it would be in my 1951 Buick with the Sonomatic radio (the Wonderbar was the top of the line radio - it had a button on the floor board you hit with your foot and the radio would automatically seek the next station). Also, the vibrator would be humming right along with the music. What you say??? Oh, for the uninitiated: the vibrator was a device in car radios before solid state that turned DC to AC so the vacuum tubes would work better. My vibrator went out about 2 years ago and the "new" vibrators are solid state and don't hum. Being the nostalgic fool I am, I searched high and low until I found a new old stock vibrator that hums. And my favorite 1951 hit??? It's a tie between Yma Sumac's Wemoweh and The Domino's Sixty Minute Man. When better automobiles are built -- Buick will build them!

They are selling "Azure", a Japanese import on Trattoria (1999) This is another wonderful soft pop Louis Phillipe album. But on this one he teams up with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra to make a very wonderful gentle pop record. His soft vocal style is backed by the orchestra in a very tasteful manner, nothing is upfront or overpowering, but the melodies. This is a very well produce record. After a few listens this release is simply another marvelous L Philippe record, much like his previous releases. Jackie Girl was a little more haunting, but this is a great album. Out of the four or five releases I have this is almost his best yet.The music is very very slow balads sung by him in a very meloncholy longing style. With the orchestra accompaniment this is a beautiful listening experience. http://othermusic.com generally carrys most of his other albums.

And can you >remember your first favorite record? 1. To the subject line, I say, Hello Dali. 2. Sorry. The first memories that I have pertaining to the question are the Electrophonic record player in my brother's room. It was beige and had a picture of a conductor holding a baton on a podium. My parents had a collection of 45's which my brother and I used to plow through, such as: Why Do Fools Fall in Love? - Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers The Minotaur - Dick Hyman and his Electric Eclectics Le Chien (El Perro) - Eduardo Davidson(some name, eh?) Don't Pat Me On My Back and Call Me Your Brother - Kasandra (that's a man, folks!) My mother and father had very eclectic tastes. My mother bought Lady Madonna (trivia break! This was written for Fats Domino by the Beatles which explains the odd timbre of McCartney's voice on the record. Domino recorded it later) for the flipside, "The Inner Light" my first sitar instrumental. One day, my Father, a notorious, um...thrifty fellow, to hear my Mother tell it, bought a new stereo for the living room. It had a Fisher (pre-Sears) receiver, Garrard turntable, and Acoustic Research speakers that weighed a ton, to me. So what was the record I recall listening to on it? A mono 78 of Cinderella. This version was so short, that it actually ended at her going to the ball. Last year, I found out about the glass slipper thing, thank you Internet (just kidding). I also heard a record of Hans Christian Anderson's "Little Match Girl". "Here now, you little brat! Take these matches and don't come back until you've sold every one of them or you won't get any supper!". With echo, that is pretty scary to a seven year-old. So there I was, selling my matches to pay for the stere...I mean, one day, we dredged up the 78's from the basement. We made a tape of them and some I can remember were: Thermopylae - Stan Kenton (my brother's favorite) Love for Sale - Stan Kenton (my favorite) Otto, Make That Riff Staccato - Duke Ellington Tell Me a Story - Jimmy Boyd That was a good one: "Tell me a story, tell me a story, Remember what you said. Tell me about the birds and bees, How to make the kitten sneeze, Tell me a story and then I'll go to bed" It "ends" with a spanking. Incidentally, we used to make tapes off the air all of the time. We used Kor/Sonic (E.J. Korvettes' house brand), Lebotone and Memorex compact cassettes (Invented by Philips in 1963 and do they give me ONE bit of a royalty check, no!) and had a Concord tape recorder that had a dial and a red button (that was for recording). We taped programs off the TV (Mom was a soundtrack fiend) and used the same recorder for the 78's, which meant in front of the speaker, everyone be quiet, because the mike was open. To end this exotica-lly, one of the oddest themes we had was from "Black Heritage", an old PBS public affairs program that may or may not have been shown only in New York. It started out with bongos and then a sax and a bass would play two interlocking melody lines. What made it odd was that the drums were recorded at regular speed and the sax and the bass were at double or triple-speed! Humming that theme could have meant a day away from school nursing one's throat.

I love the image for any number of reasons but that wasn't me. Friends of mine tell stories about knowing how to play their favorite songs at three or four years old. One of them talks about how he knew where the tune was by counting the bands on the LP. He refers to this as his "earliest form of literacy". But that wasn't my experience. My father bought a Clairtone stereo console or whatever they're called, those things in a mahogany cabinet. But I wasn't allowed to use it. Of course I did, when everyone was gone. And probably the first and only record of my father's that I played was Oscar Peterson's recording of songs from West Side Story. I probably was nine at the time. The other two records that I occasionally played were Stan Kenton's version of West Side Story and Ray Charles with Betty Carter singing "Baby it's cold outside". But mostly it was Oscar for me. I can only remember my father having ten records at the most. A couple of classical, which I didn't play. The Yellow Rolls Royce, which I grew to hate. I'm not even sure why he had the thing. It was mostly furniture I think.

Cooke LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Retired police Lt. Daniel N. Cooke, a Police Department spokesman for 22 years and technical adviser to movies and television programs such as ``Dragnet'' and ``Adam 12,'' died April 30 of cancer. He was 72. Cooke was the department's most prominent spokesman for many years before his retirement in 1988. As the department's technical adviser to the entertainment industry he reviewed television and movie scripts. He became a friend of ``Dragnet'' star and producer Jack Webb, who created the ``just the facts, ma'am'' image of Los Angeles police detectives. In syndicated reruns, ``Dragnet'' was called ``Badge 714'' -- Cooke's badge number. Cooke joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1953, walking a downtown beat before becoming press relations officer in 1964. *Joel Price COMMERCE, Ga. (AP) -- Joel Price, the man credited with introducing the electric bass to country music at the Grand Ole Opry, died Monday of a heart attack. He was 88. Tired of lugging around the hefty bass fiddle, which would frequently go out of tune, Price bought a Fender electric bass for $100, according to former Grand Ole Opry announcer Eddie Stubbs. Playing with Country Music Hall of Famer ``Little'' Jimmy Dickens, Price became the first to play the electric bass on stage at the Opry in Nashville, Tenn. Citing a 1997 interview with Price, Stubbs said the Georgia native was ``quite possibly the first to play that instrument in country music.'' Price played bass on Dickens' classics ``We Could'' and ``Take Me As I Am or Let Me Go.'' Price got his start with Tommy Scott in 1937 and also played with Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys and George Morgan. *William Woodward 3d NEW YORK (AP) -- William Woodward 3d, whose family was known for its wealth and violent deaths, died Sunday after plunging from his Manhattan high-rise. He was 54 and had been under psychiatric care. Woodward's father, William Woodward Jr., was killed in 1955 by his wife, Ann, at their estate on Long Island. A grand jury cleared Mrs. Woodward of wrongdoing. She killed herself shortly before the publication of a book by Truman Capote fictionalizing the incident. Woodward's brother died after jumping from a hotel. Woodward twice ran for office unsuccessfully, in 1978 for the state Senate and in 1981 for the New York City Council. He worked as a reporter for The New York Post from 1968 to 1971. Later he founded and published More, a journalism review. Woodward is survived by his wife and a daughter.

I remember the record itself though. This kids' record had a simple animation printed on the vinyl -- frogs on lily pads and fish in a pond. When the record spun on a turntable, the frogs dove from the lily pads and fish jumped in tidy arcs. Vivid colors. But music? Dunno. First music: Peter and the Wolf and Carnival of the Animals. I adored them and still do. Recently picked up a Jimmy Smith P&W, conducted and arranged for jazz orchestra by Oliver Nelson, Creed Nelson, producer (Verve, '66). No narration, funny music with a cover shot of Jimmy vamping in a wolf skin. Hilarious hipster liner notes say a P&W with narration was in the works. Anyone know if Verve ever released that record?

Today=92s leaders and label heads pale in comparison to= these legendary giants. Show me a man today who could stand up to a Syd Nathan or a Don Robey, and I=92ll show you a man behind bars=97not behind a desk. Why, without Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records and the man who unearthed Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rufus Thomas, and Howling Wolf, to name but a few, there might not even have been any rock =92n=92 roll, electric blues, or rockabilly music.=94 =97Al Kooper,= from the Foreword Little Labels=97Big Sound celebrates 10 legendary record labels, their founders and the artists they developed, people who created original and enduring music on the tide of social change. From the 1920s through the 1960s, scores of small, independent record companies nurtured distinctly American music: jazz, blues, gospel, country, rhythm and blues, and rock =92= n=92 roll. These companies, run on shoestring budgets, were on the fringe of mainstream culture. Louis Armstrong, Hank Williams, James Brown, Roy Orbison, and other musicians brought regional American styles to a world audience and won enduring fame for themselves. But often forgotten are the colorful owners of small record labels who first recorded these musicians and helped to popularize their sound before the dominant, more bureaucratic competitors knew what had happened.=20 Rick Kennedy and Randy McNutt bring alive the glory days of the independent labels and their colorful founders, many of whom were interviewed for this book. Sometimes these men were visionaries. Ross Russell, a record-store owner in Los Angeles in the mid-1940s, risked his last dollar to create Dial Records because he was convinced that an obscure jazz saxophonist named Charlie Parker was creating a music revolution with his bebop jazz. Sam Phillips in Memphis had recorded white country and black R&B singers in the early 1950s, so he knew exactly what he was looking for when a shy, teenaged Elvis Presley walked into his storefront studio in 1954 and asked to make a record.=20 Other owners had little appreciation for the music but were street-smart entrepreneurs. The white-owned =93race=94 labels of the 1920s, for example, recognized a black consumer market that the recording business had previously ignored. Operating out of such cities as Houston, Memphis, Cincinnati, and New Orleans, these savvy business people promoted regional sounds that were to reverberate around the world.=20 But influencing the development of music wasn=92t what these record-label owners had in mind; they were just trying to earn a living. Today, when most of the independent record labels have gone under or have been gobbled up by big conglomerates, the music they produced on primitive equipment remains fresh=97and bigger than life.=20 Little Labels=97Big Sound tells with verve and affection the story of the people and the small homegrown companies who gave America its beat. ---- Rick Kennedy, a media relations manager, worked for a decade as a journalist. Kennedy plays jazz piano and is the author of Jelly Roll, Bix, and Hoagy: Gennett Studios and the Birth of Recorded Jazz (now available in paperback=97see opposite page).=20 Randy McNutt is a longtime reporter with the Cincinnati Enquirer. He is author of We Wanna Boogie: An Illustrated History of the American Rockabilly Movement and a book on Ohio ghost towns.

I guess I should throw in a little myself... I've already gone on a couple of times about my heavily-worn old favorite -- a Rocky & Bullwinkle 45 -- so I'll skip that, skip that, skip that. Another early favorite... well, I can't remember it directly, but when I reclaimed it from the attic (like Magnus), it sure seemed like an old friend: a Golden Records 45, "When The Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin' Along". Really nice vocals by Anne Lloyd -- if they were just a little hotter they would almost be sultry. When she sings, "Wake up! Wake up, you sleepyhead. Wake up! Wake up, get out of bed. Live, laugh, love and be happy." it's almost enough to make me enthusiastic about getting up in the morning. Almost. Jaunty backing by Mitch Miller and Orchestra. Fortunately, no Mitch Miller Singers. Our record player was a table-top box that took a while to warm up after you turned it on. Textured vinyl(?) covering. Maybe had 4 speeds (16 to 78). I hope to find an old snapshot of it someday. Speaking of Concord equipment, I had occasional access to (and eventually got it as a hand-me-down) a Concord portable reel-to-reel deck. Mono, half-track (you could flip the reel over, like a cassette), 7-inch reels, built-in speaker. For setting the level, it had an orange glowing light that throbbed brighter or dimmer depending on the volume. Not very precise, but aesthetically pleasing. Of course there were unapproved experiments like physical tape loops or removing the capstan roller so I could control the tape feed by hand (going more for synthesizer-like swoops than DJ scratches (of course at the time, there weren't DJ scratches to imitate)). Speaking of "Beep Beep", that was a big favorite in my immediate pre-teens. But my exposure didn't come through a record... it was a cassette in that "Cruisin' [fill in the year]" series from the early 70s (same volume that had "Runaway", which mesmerised me). First heard it in a cousin's '68 or '69 Roadrunner, which made for a total sensurround "Beep Beep" experience. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuck Subject: (exotica) persistence of memory Date: 05 May 1999 12:38:33 -0700 (PDT) The only thing I can think of that would make your "total sensurrround" Roadrunner Beep Beep experience any better is if the song was played on a "Highway Hi-Fi" Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck ---"m.ace" wrote: > > > Thanks to everyone for throwing in on this thread.

TamTam Books & Beyond Baroque presents with the support of the French Cultural Service in Los Angles Serge Gainsbourg and Boris Vian Party Saturday May 15 at 7:30 P.M. AT: Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center 681 Venice Blvd Venice, CA 90291 Phone no: 310-822-3006 TamTam Books: 323-661-8741 Tosh Berman and his TamTam Books celebrates the release of their first two titles: Boris Vian's I Spit on Your Graves and Serge Gainsbourg's only novel Evgu=E9nie Sokolov. Both titles were, and still are shocking in its sense of outrageousness provocation, and brilliance. Vian was a jazz musician, playwright, novelist, translator of hard boiled American crime classics (Chandler, Cain, etc.) into French, and hardcore trouble maker. Gainsbourg was a prototype lusty punk who tore into the threads of French society with his numerous films, music projects, and outlandish persona. Both of them changed the world, and therefore transformed the world of pop music and literature into a vision of sexuality , humor and of course danger. Along with the readings of Gainsbourg and Vian's work we feature the glorious sounds of dj's Lance Rock & Hypnotique spinning the sounds of Vian & Gainsbourg and the French music revolution they both started, and a screening of the ultra-rare documentary on Gainsbourg in English, with the tantalizing Brigitte Bardot, the desirable Jane Birkin, and of course, the nasty overtones of "Lemon Incest" with Gainsbourg's daughter Charlotte. Tickets are $7. $5 for students and seniors. Beyond Baroque members free. Boris Vian's I Spit on Your Graves & Serge Gainsbourg's Evgu=E9nie Sokolov are available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Nobel.com and various bookstores.

(AP) -- Juliet Appleby Kepes, an artist and children's book author, died March 11. She was 79. Mrs. Kepes wrote or illustrated 17 children's books including ``Five Little Monkeys,'' which won a Caldecott Medal. Mrs. Kepes collaborated with her husband, Gyorgy Kepes, a Hungarian artist, on many projects including enamel murals in schools and libraries. *Elspeth March LONDON (AP) -- Elspeth March, a stage actress whose career spanned a half-century, died Wednesday. She was 88. Ms. March was perhaps best-known for creating the title role of Bernard Shaw's ``The Millionairess'' in 1937. Ms. March made her first professional appearance in London's West End in 1932 and appeared in many roles over the next three decades. She suspended her career for four years during World War II to drive an ambulance for the American Red Cross. Her last West End appearance was in the thriller ``Underground'' in 1983. She also appeared on the New York stage as a member of the Irish Players and in a number of films, including ``Quo Vadis'' and ``Goodbye Mr. Chips,'' as well as on British television. *Irving Stevens PITTSFIELD, Maine (AP) -- Irving ``Fishbones'' Stevens, who gained fame with his stories about life as a Depression-era hobo, died Tuesday. He was 88. Stevens was named King of the Hobos in 1988 at the annual National Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa. At the 1993 convention, he crowned his daughter as Queen of the Hobos. Stevens' first book, ``Fishbones: Hoboing in the 1930s,'' published in the 1980s, contained more than a dozen stories based on his recollections of his life on the road. His second book, published in 1992, was ``Mandy's Washtub and Other Stories,'' a compilation of Maine folklore written over a 10-year period. Stevens is remembered by fishermen and campers for Irving's Fly Dope, the foul-smelling fly repellent that he mixed, bottled and distributed for 30 years. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Laura Taylor Subject: (exotica) Whilst away Date: 06 May 1999 07:27:38 -0700 (PDT) Hi!

Lo Bue" Subject: (exotica) Exotica cut-up artists Date: 06 May 1999 11:42:25 +0000 LOU asked: Can anyone recommend other exotica flavored cut-up artists besides Curd Duca? There's early David Shea, but who else?? And which releases by these folks should we start with? Thanks! The first and best thing to come to my mind is The Tape-beatles (a.k.a. Public Works, recently switched back to their original name), and their absolutely incredible stuff. Start with "Music With Sound." All found sounds, full of creepy instructional/political narration, with ultra loungey loops and collages. In my opinion, that recording, along with the more political 'The Grand Delusion', are some of the most incisive and enjoyable cut-up 'music' I've ever enjoyed. I hadn't heard of Curd Duca, Lou, so I'll check it out for sure. I love lots of stuff on Mille Plateaux, like the amazing Microstoria CD's. Here's the Tape-beatles website for lots of cool info: http://soli.inav.net/~psrf/ I'd encourage ANYONE to check them out.

"Chuck" McKimson Jr Date: 06 May 1999 18:21:07 -0500 From 5/6/99 LA Times: Charles E. McKimson Jr.; Warner Bros. Cartoonist Charles E. "Chuck" McKimson Jr., 84, an animator and cartoonist whose work ranged from movie cartoons to comic books to animated fine arts. With his brothers, Tom and Robert, McKimson had a notable career with Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes Cartoons. He worked on sketches, models and celluloid images known as cels for Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the characters created by brother Robert--the Tasmanian Devil, Speedy Gonzales and Foghorn Leghorn. Born in Colorado, Chuck McKimson, along with both brothers, worked first on printing and layout for small newspapers owned by their father there and in California. Chuck, the youngest, also worked as a Linotype operator, but soon went into animation, briefly for Disney before joining his brothers at Warner Bros. to develop the Tasmanian Devil. In 1954, he joined Tom at Whitman Publishing to produce Dell Comics, and six years later established his own animation studio to produce motion picture titles and special effects. Active until his death, McKimson had worked in McKimson Productions since 1994, designing and signing limited editions of animated sports fine arts. McKimson also made appearances around the country at gallery showings of some of his early cels, which are highly valued by collectors. On April 16 in the North Hills area of Los Angeles. From http://members.aol.com/EOCostello/m.html : McKimson, Charles One of the three McKimson brothers (along with Bob and Tom) to work at WB in the 30s and 40s. Unlike his brother Tom, and like Bob, he seems to have concentrated mainly on animation, with some story work. McKimson, along with Sid Marcus, received story credit for the Robert McKimson cartoons Feather Dusted, Dime to Retire, and All Fowled Up (all 1955). # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: SV: (exotica) Bang the drum with your hands.

Comments? I actually prefer "Luxury" to the first CD. It's upbeat, and a lot more fun to listen to - there are also all sorts of samples hiding on it, which are fun to start noticing. It does lean more to the japanese clubpop side, as opposed to the exotica side, but is still a worthwhile addition to anyone's collection, if you like that kind of music (which I do, although a certain other member of my household does not, and he can't stand listening to this one!) cheryl # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) [fwd] 2 interesting URLs Date: 07 May 1999 15:06:01 -0500 Music in the Public Domain http://www.pdinfo.com/ Founded in 1986, PD Info (taken over in early 1999 by Haven Sound, Inc.) provides information and resources for identifying public domain materials.

That's a very good record, that Mustang Beatles one. Not just the Beatles covers but the Beatlesque originals. And the Mustang is interesting period, not just the Beatles record. So that's pretty good for your first two records. Sets a high standard, not that you can maintain it once you get into this stuff.

I was surprised by the label which credits the whole project to Irving Josephs and Shorty Rogers, who, from the sound of it did one side each. Side one is sorta go-go/NOW sound with sound effects and odd banter mixed in. Side two is spy/crime jazz... and the liner notes are totally crazy, like narrations from a psychedelic comic book, deliberately nonsensical. I wondered if anyone here might have info on this release. Which artist was responsible for which side? What audience was this intended for? Is it a compilation of previously recorded material (I recognize two cuts under different titles from a Time set)? Any info would be appreciated.

Highly trustworthy, and good prices. I don't think the Exotic Trilogy CDs are particularly inexpensive, however - they're imports from the Netherlands.

I rarely see "official" reels in the thrifts, except for fairly mundane stuff you wouldn't want in any format. However, I have picked up a few reels that were home-made recordings by people in the 1960s. One is a rather unimpressive Hawaiian tape by Jack de Mello, "Ala Moana". Another tape has 15 quite well-chosen songs by Henry Mancini. Another one is Clebanoff's "Strings Afire in Spain" which is not too shabby. The other one I have is a various artists affair, which is labelled "Mood Music for Dining," with tracks by Herb Alpert, Bert Kaempfert, and others. > well anyway last week i got 3 great Command tapes, all official copies: > Brass Impact!

I strongly agree with the great sound quality aspect. My reel-to-reel player isn't hooked up to my stereo, so when I've listened to these tapes, it is through headphones, which normally bring every click, pop, and vinyl deformity to the forefront, but these are so amazingly clean sounding. I think in part it is because in the 1990s we are so used to recordings of 60s music sounding somewhat beat up, but these recordings archive that music in a format which time was kinder to. I've also noticed this in a few home-made 8-track tapes from "back in the day," but the reel-to-reel tapes, at 7.5 ips, have superior hi-fi sound. :) -- Brad # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SLarry3595@aol.com Subject: (exotica) sealed comedy & exotica LPs Date: 09 May 1999 16:11:29 EDT Hello fellow music lovers, I wanted to take a minute to let all my pals on the exotica list know that I am now doing some heavy trading on eBay. Recently I managed to purchase over 500 still sealed LPs, most from the early 1970's. All had been stored for over 20 years! This was quite a large investment for me, but, as I was recently laid off (along with several colleagues) from my job I am trying to see if I can do eBay full time! To see my records you can put in my eBay name in the seller search on the search title search page. It is: pauldino So far it is a lot of work, but it is fun to see all the records even though I can't hear them. It is still rewarding to send someone and record and have them write me back and tell me they have been looking for it for years and that it rules! Anyhow, I need to increase my buisness if I have any chance of doing it full time, and I have a lot of stuff that people on this list should like. Hope everyone doesn't mind this little mention, as my prices are very low, and never any reserve.

Just two finds this weekend, Norrie Paramor's Latin for Lovers, good but not as much fun as the LP of Cliff Richard and the Shadows Latin covers. Couple of top tunes though. Also the Happy Hammond plays music from Films Vol2. Again a couple of good'uns on here, I bought it for the James Bond Theme, but its not as good as some of the other cuts. Sadly I also bought a late seventies Shirley Bassey LP but didn't check it properly and when I got home it was just a regular comp in the wrong sleeve. Doh. So if anyone on the list got the wrong Shirley Bassey LP from the car boot sale in Lewes, get in touch. Also I was very pleased to see that the old (relative terms here you understand) Lennie de Ice rave classic We Are i.e. has been re-released. Typically I'd got the artists name wrong and have spent the last 8 years checking out the wrong bits of the record shops. Oh, well. Got it now.

It looked like a brief case, but when opened up the 4 track player was in the bottom and the speaker was in the top. There was a section for storing tapes, and even a mic for making my own 4 tracks! But even more amazing were the portable reel to reel players!?!?!?! Tiny little reels of tape that ran about 5 minutes. Incredibly hard to load. Had one of those bad boys too, back in the day.

I can hear the music on a record BEFORE the track starts officially so why doesn't the 8 track bleed more??? A funny admittance, when I was a kid I thought the 8 track player "yanked" the tape real hard to advance it to the next track. I could "see" how a reel to reel worked so I did not comprehend the nebulous idea of "tracks" and a head that moved up and down. Oh, I used an old reel to reel I found to play with the cat more than to listen to music in my younger days (I was about 12). I would string the tape all over the house and then hit play and the cat would chase the tape. It still brings a smile to my face. Of course the music was playing while the cat was chasing. I had recorded the TV movie "Once Upon A Mattress" with Carol Burnett (a take off on the Princess and the Pea). There was a comical tune that they danced to at a ball. I can still hear the tune in my head and I can still see that cat chasing the tape. Ain't that funny???

(AP) -- Darwyn Swalve, a 6-foot-9 actor who used his bulk to advantage in a succession of television and movie bad-guy roles, died Wednesday of a heart attack, The Press-Enterprise reported. He was 53. He had recently completed a role in Nickelodeon's ``The Journey of Allen Strange'' series, scheduled to air this summer. Swalve weighed 300-plus pounds and was a onetime semi-professional football player, but was known as a gentle man who disliked violence. He began acting after he was discharged from the Marine Corps in 1968. He appeared with Southern California theater companies and worked as a stuntman before making his film debut in 1983 in ``The Zoo Gang,'' which starred Ben Vereen. Swalve's other films included ``City Heat,'' ``Heartbreak Ridge,'' ``Barton Fink,'' ``Hands of Steel,'' ``Police Academy 6,'' ``Open House'' and ``Underground.'' Television credits included ``The A-Team,'' ``Jake and the Fatman'' and ``Moonlighting.'' *Dirk Bogarde LONDON (AP) -- Sir Dirk Bogarde, the British actor who starred in more than 70 films and captured the hearts of many women in the 1950s, died Saturday of a heart attack. He was 78. The British film star, who achieved his greatest fame in ``Death in Venice,'' suffered a stroke in 1996 and had been under 24-hour nursing care since last May. He returned to England from military service in World War II and joined a small theater group. Soon, he landed roles in the lighthearted ``Doctor in the House'' series, and by the 1950s, the actor with the boyish good looks had become a matinee idol. Screaming audiences mobbed him at public appearances. The attention soon led to bigger roles in movies such as ``A Tale of Two Cities,'' in which he played Sidney Carton, and other films such as ``Darling'' and ``The Servant.'' During the 1960s, Bogarde sought a quieter life and retreated to a 15th century farmhouse in France. He began a second career, producing several novels and a series of autobiographical works, including ``For The Time Being.'' After being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1986, he reluctantly returned to England, where he became an enthusiastic supporter of voluntary euthanasia. The actor was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1992. See also: http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/obit-bogarde.html *Dana Plato MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Actress Dana Plato, who like her fellow ``Diff'rent Strokes'' child co-stars had seen legal troubles since the show was canceled, died Saturday of a drug overdose. Ms. Plato, 34, apparently took the painkiller Loritab along with Valium on Saturday while visiting the home of her fiance's parents. Police said the death appeared accidental and they did not suspect suicide. Ms. Plato played Kimberly Drummond on the NBC sitcom that ran from 1978 to 1984. She was arrested in 1991 for robbing a Las Vegas video store, and was placed on five years' probation. In 1992 she was given an additional five years' probation for forging prescriptions for Valium. ``If I hadn't gotten caught, it could have been the worst thing that happened to me because I could have died of a drug overdose,'' she told reporters in 1992. Ms. Plato and her fiance, Robert Menchaca, had stopped at his parents' home in Moore for Mother's Day. Ms. Plato and Menchaca, 28, were en route to Los Angeles after she appeared on the Howard Stern's radio program in New York as part of an effort to jump-start her career. She went on the show to deny the stories of a woman who claimed to know Ms. Plato well. The woman had called Stern's show, saying Ms. Plato was on drugs. Ms. Plato acknowledged the woman had been a roommate, but said she had been sober for about 10 years. She also said she had her wisdom teeth out about four months ago and had to take pain killers for that. Police said Ms. Plato went to take a nap Saturday afternoon. After Menchaca realized that evening there was a problem, his mother, a nurse, and his brother tried unsuccessfully to revive her with cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Ms. Plato's recent career had included mainly low-budget films such as 1992's ``Bikini Beach Race'' and the 1997 film ``Different Strokes: A Story of Jack and Jill ... and Jill,'' a direct-to-video softcore tale about a sexual threesome.

Dorks. May 10, 1999 Irving Stevens, 88, Ex-Hobo, Author, Inventor of Fly Dope By NICK RAVO, NYTimes Irving "Fishbones" Stevens, who became a folk hero in Maine for his tales of hobo life in the 1930s and his success developing a foul-smelling insect repellent called Irving's Fly Dope, died at the home of his sister, Dorothy Glazier, in Pittsfield, Maine, last Tuesday. He was 88 years old. Stevens, who was born on June 21, 1910, in Surry, Maine, and lived in Corinna, Maine, picked up the nickname Fishbones as a youth, when he was poor and hungry. "He was as thin as a rail," Ms. Glazier said. "So, everyone called him 'Fishbones.' You could see every bone in his body." As many down-and-out men did during the Great Depression, Stevens hit the road, becoming what was then known as a hobo. When World War II started, he joined the Air Force and served as a private. After the war, he never returned to the hobo life. Instead, he became a machinist in Maine and Connecticut. In the early '60s, Stevens, always a tinkerer, developed Irving's Fly Dope by heating pine tar and adding a few secret ingredients. The concoction, which he bottled himself and sold throughout New England, from a car, was as effective as it was rank, and it remained a staple of campers and fishermen during black-fly season until 1991, when environmental licensing fees made it too expensive to produce. For some men, being the creator of Irving's Fly Dope might have been enough fame for one life, but in the 1980s, Stevens self-published "Fishbones: Hoboing in the 1930s," a collection of stories about his hobo years. The book became something of a local sensation. Stevens wrote two more books, "Mandy's Washtub and Other Stories" in 1992 and "National King of the Hobos" in 1997. He was given the ceremonial title King of the Hobos in 1988, at the annual National Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa. Five years later, he crowned one of his daughters, Constance Hall of Dexter, Maine, as Queen of the Hobos. In addition to Ms. Glazier and Ms. Hall, Stevens is survived by another sister, Sidney Hanscom of West Palm Beach, Fla.; three sons, James Stevens of Stetons, Maine, Richard Russell of Worcester, Mass., and Philip Batchelder of Abbot, Maine; two other daughters, Brenda Hall of St. Albans, Maine, and Marybeth Cribbs of Waterville, Maine, and 13 grandchildren. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) it's all connected, maaaan!

First published in 1980 but previously unavailable in English, Evguenie Sokolov is the fictional autobiography of the uncontrollably flatulent title character, an artist who makes his distinctive drawings ("gasograms") by letting his hand move while passing violent wind. Hiding his condition by publicly blaming the inevitable sounds and odors on his bulldog, and artifically inducing it when it mysteriously vanishes, Sokolov climbs to the pinnacle of art-world success before his untimely end. This is not a book for the easily nauseated, but there's more substance than the one-joke premise suggests. Gainsbourg's book is a scatological allegory for the dangers facing artist, like the author himself, whoturn their own internal pathologies into public spectacle. -Franklin Bruno Top Ten list from Artforum International (May) 'Ooo, don't come near me!' my grandmother said as I went to kiss her good-bye.

I just flew out to Las Vegas this weekend to see Beck in concert at the Tropicana Hotel. While I'm no officianado on Vegas and this was my first trip, I think I like the old Las Vegas you see in Ratt Pack movies like "Ocean's Eleven" rather than the one you see now with these billion dollar hotels that look more like theme park rides (The New York, New York actually has a roller coaster!). There was not much evidence of swinging... the big shows on the bill boards were Barbara Streisand, Johnny Mathis, and HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS. ACK. Luckily, Beck was swinging, and he did play his bigger lounge-influenced hits Tropicali and Deadweight in addition to mostly songs from Odelay and a few from Mutations and Mellow Gold. Opening for him was Tenacious D. They don't really swing, but anyone who likes their music and or comedy off the beaten path would probably be interested in these guys. I think their web page is www.sidehatch.com. As I left the show at about 12:00 or so, I saw that Sal Butera was playing in a little lounge area. It sounded a litle lackluster, but the guy is pretty up there in years and I'm sure the guys in his band are too. Sounded pretty good though, but they were taking a break at about that time. Overall, Vegas is a pretty tacky, evil place. But, the trip was a lot of fun and the concert was great.. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: byost Subject: (exotica) Unlikely recording formats Date: 10 May 1999 17:17:38 -0500 Larry noted: <> And don't forget there were even primitive telephone answering machines that used those small reel-to-reel tapes.

Pea, I few months ago I saw about 8 official reel to reel tapes for sale in a used place in Boston. All were going for about $25. The one's I remember: Julie London, On the Rocks Martin Denny, Quiet Village Thelonius Monk, a Columbia album. Maybe Monk's Dream Miles Davis, maybe Kind Of Blue First time I ever noticed reel to reel for anything besides classical titles. Mostly opera. BTW, A reel to reel tape machine is for sale at a flea market near my home. Brand: Pioneer? Asking price $250. Been there for a few months. Always wanted one of these about 20 years ago.

I'm pretty sure I've seen other Frederick Wiseman films on video somewhere. Wait a second, now I'm not sure it is Wiseman. Maybe it's Maysle Bros. Nah, I'm going with my first impulse. It's Wiseman. (I really should know this.) I've seen the film a few times and I loved it but then again, one of the things I loved about it was the way it evoked the period in which it was shot. Damn, I'm having more second thoughts. Maybe it isn't Wiseman or the Maysles. I'm sure Cheryl or Will will correct me if I'm wrong. But either way, suddenly I'm having flashbacks to that film.

She was 72. Mrs. Layburn received her Emmy for Most Outstanding Television Personality. Her show appeared on Paramount Studio's KTLA in Los Angeles and featured her and her puppet ``Judy Splinters.'' She later had her own children's show on KNBH-NBC, followed by several other shows on ABC in New York and Chicago. She later quit her television career and from 1973 to 1985 was the head of the Respiratory Therapy Department of John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, N.Y. Mrs. Layburn, who was born in San Francisco, began her ventriloquism career at age 14 with her radio show, ``Judy in Wonderland.'' She later moved to Hollywood, where she and her puppet had appearances on radio shows along personalities such as Rudy Vallee, Eddie Cantor and Bob Burns. Mrs. Layburn made her television debut in 1947 announcing shows and giving children birthday greetings on KTLA. Her appearances led to the weekly children's show, ``The Judy Splinters Show.'' *Maurice Scott CLIFTON, N.J. (AP) -- Maurice Scott, a trumpeter and band leader whose namesake orchestra headlined concert halls for a half-century, died Saturday. He was 86. The Maurice Scott Orchestra played in New York hotels and other landmark venues in the region. For 20 years, Scott's band entertained summer visitors at the Nemerson Resort in the Catskills. For another 15 years, the orchestra's home was the Metropolitan Hotel in Asbury Park. The band's run lasted for more than 50 years, with Scott fronting the group and contributing trumpet and vocals. Scott, whose real name was Maurice Anzaldi, also played with Tommy Dorsey, Jackie Gleason and Sammy Davis, Jr. *Gilbert Millstein NEW YORK (AP) -- Gilbert Millstein, who brought attention to Jack Kerouac with a favorable review of the Beat Generation writer's novel ``On the Road,'' died Friday of kidney failure. He was 83. Millstein's 1957 New York Times review of ``On the Road'' described the novel as a beautifully executed work of art and helped propel Kerouac into the public consciousness. Millstein wrote book reviews and articles for the Times from 1949 to 1963. He also wrote for The Saturday Evening Post. He was the news editor of the ``NBC Nightly News'' from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s.

John Kirby. I am a big fan of >Raymond Scott and I always thought he was a one-of-a-kind. But >I heard some John Kirby stuff that sounded just like him.=20 I guess it was Don Byron with his Bug Music CD/Band who first made the connection between Raymond Scott and John Kirby apparent to me. A month ago I was at a show he put on for kids, called Toons & Tunes. He played a bunch of Bug Music cuts, and played "spot the Raymond Scott melody" with the kids by then showing a few WB cartoons. Great fun with a very open, appreciative audience! Byron is fabulous with kids - if Mr. Rogers ever retires, Don could easily fill those tennis shoes, and make the neighborhood a lot hipper place to be as well. There's not a lot on the web about Kirby, but here's a few URLs: http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?UID=3D3:46:39|PM&p=3Damg&sql=3DB6896 http://www3.jazzcentralstation.com/newjcs/main/artist.asp?nameid=3D39226 http://www3.jazzcentralstation.com/newjcs/main/artist.asp?nameid=3D170609 Besides Byron's Bug Music Band, another Kirby tribute project is the Onyx Club Sextet. Their promo reads: "The Onyx Club Sextet is a contemporary jazz band that recreates the music and sounds of The John Kirby Sextet, which was dubbed the 'best little big band from the 1940s' for their performances at the famed Onyx Club. Under the leadership of bassist Wayne Roberts, this sextet follows the famous 'Onyx Club Boys' tradition of performing swing arrangements of classical pieces from composers like Beethoven, Schubert, Dvorak, and Chopin." -Lou =A0 # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: (exotica) re: John Kirby Date: 11 May 1999 17:02:00 -0400 >Correct, they are similarities. Scott's compositions are a bit 'wilder', but >Kirby is certainly worth checking out. I too can vouch for Kirby, a sadly underrated performer. A wonderful place to start is "Boss of the Bass", if you can find it (I have it) on Columbia or "The Biggest Little Band in the Land' on ASV, which is still in print.. The Benny Goodman Sextet had many fine players, including Charlie Christian and Teddy Wilson and Goodman himself, but I prefer Kirby for the precision and unbelievable sense of swing, which of course includes fantastic musicianship; "Jumping in the Pump Room" is just the tip of the iceberg of the richness that is Kirby. The only frustrating thing that can be derived from the recordings is that the is almost no soloing on the bass by Kirby himself, although according to musicians of the day, he was more than capable of taking a solo spot. For those who like their Classical music done Jazz style, this was a specialty of the Kirby groups as illustrated by "Beethoven Riffs On", also on "Biggest Little...". Had he been the businessman that Goodman was, perhaps there would have been more music of his to enjoy. Vivat Kirby!

I came across a series of LPs called Funky Soundtracks while doing the rounds yesterday (a day off work, doing the child care thing). Vol 1 was mentioned last week (Asteroids/Pearl and Dean theme), the other volumes have the sweeney theme and I think I saw Ironside and Starsky and Hutch on there too. At this point the baby woke up and started complaining....Not another record shop dad, nooooooo.. waaaaaaaahh..... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I've heard volume 1 and its not too bad, weighted towards what the Break Beat Boys would like (eg Hot Slow Wind from Hells Belles OST for the drums) but some good stuff all the same. I would imagine that they are British releases due to the fact that Asteroids is there. I'll try to find out more on labels and stuff, but I won't get down to the shops until probably next week.

He was 84. Steinberg, who drew cartoons for The New Yorker magazine for more than 50 years, died Wednesday at his home in Manhattan. His brooding doodles were considered a fine art and drew comparisons to legendary painters such as Picasso and Duchamp. Art critic Harold Rosenberg described Steinberg as ``a writer of pictures, an architect of speech and sounds, a draftsman of political reflections.'' Among Steinberg's most famous cartoons is ``View of the World from 9th Avenue (1975),'' which first appeared on the magazine's cover the following year. The drawing shows a bird's-eye view of the world looking west from Manhattan, with the great detail of New York streets fading into ill-defined clumps for the rest of the nation and the world. This perspective -- as seen in the cartoon from the standpoint of a chauvinistic Manhattanite -- spawned similar drawings for numerous cities, including London, Paris, Rome and Venice. Born in Romania in 1914, Steinberg studied at the University of Bucharest before moving to Italy, where he received a doctoral degree in architecture in 1940. But Steinberg began drawing in 1934, quickly discovering his skill as a cartoonist. The New Yorker published its first Steinberg cartoon in 1941, a sketch of a reverse centaur. Steinberg arrived in the United States a year later. During World War II he served in the U.S. Navy, and had tasks ranging from teaching Chinese guerrillas to blow up bridges, to producing counter-propaganda drawings meant to stir anti-Nazi sentiment within Germany. Later, his works included architectural fantasies, watercolor landscapes and vicious pictures of New York street life that indicated a pessimism about urban life. Among his images were depictions of Mickey Mouse as a terrorist clad in combat boots, doormen saluting as soldiers and building facades as frightening mazes. Steinberg is survived by Hedda Lindenberg Sterne, whom he married in 1943. They were separated in the 1970s but never divorced. ------------------------------ Death anniversaries for the week of 10 -16 May: Monday, 10 May 1977 - Joan Crawford; actress 1994 - John Wayne Gacy; mass murderer Tuesday, 11 May 1979 - Lester Flatt; country and western performer 1981 - Bob Marley; reggae performer 1985 - Chester Gould; cartoonist, "Dick Tracy" Wednesday, 12 May 1992 - Robert Reed; actor, "The Brady Bunch" Thursday, 13 May 1972 - Dan Blocker; actor, "Bonanza" 1985 - Selma Diamond; actress, "Night Court" Friday, 14 May 1982 - Hugh Beaumont; actor, "Leave It to Beaver" 1987 - Rita Hayworth; actress 1997 - Harry Blackstone Jr.; magician 1998 - Frank Sinatra; singer Sunday, 16 May 1984 - Andy Kaufman; comedian & actor 1990 - Sammy Davis Jr.; entertainer 1990 - Jim Henson; puppeteer # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: (exotica) Re: John Kirby Date: 13 May 1999 11:10:42 -0400 >Yup!

The Columbia I have on record and the sound is very good indeed. Mono, no fake stereo, good bass response. I can only vouch for other ASV releases having good sound, for they seem to take the time and get the sound right.

Considering cartoon soundtracks of the time, shows like "It Pays To Be Ignorant" and even "progressive" rock groups like ELP and Yes, this is not too surprising. I agree that that would be a cool idea. Anecdote time: I am a big fan of an old radio show called the Goon Show. I went to a convention in England, which was attended by the two surviving cast members, Spike Milligan and Sir Harry Secombe. Milligan is not only a writer (he wrote or co-wrote almost all 162 shows), but a musician (trumpet and guitar). That night, he was playing at being the crochety old man, no photos were allowed, he signed no autographs and didn't shake a single hand. He answered the various questions with the usual answers and I asked, "Are you a fan of John Kirby?" and it turns out that he was/is! It seemed as if it was one of the times that he was interested that night. >Many thanks to Lou and Brian for the info!

Your point is taken, and I will stop posting such things (I've said in previous postings that if anyone finds it unwanted, I'd stop). I must point out to you however, that I'm far from the first or only person to post eBay auctions on this list. The 'dog-eat-dog free for all' you speak of happens to also contain some very savvy and, dare I say it, good people. I've seen my share of jerks, sure, but I've also 'met' many cool folks with whom I've enjoyed correspondence. Think of it this way: you're having a yard sale. If given the choice, would you set it up in your back yard, with a sign pointing in, or in the front yard, where traffic can pass and see? The eBay auction opens your goods up to, quite literally, the world. The odds of actually (uh-oh, dirty words again) making money on what you post are exponentially greater. I'd love love love to GIVE my vinyl away to friends and acquaintences, but the fact is, my income is highly unstable, and eBay affords me an opportunity to reach a wide and interested marketplace. The people who subscribe to this list are the most concentrated and often most knowledgeable regarding music that inhabits the fringe of 'popular' tastes. If I've got items I feel might be of interest, why not let them (you) know? Feels funny to write that, because a while back I got embroiled in this same debate, but from your side. I had just come from another list-digest that RUTHLESSLY hacked out any people 'hawking' anything. So I entered this list with those same guidelines, and learned before long that this was a totally different kind of list, and people (it seemed to me) enjoyed the 'advertising' of exotica-related goodies. I'd be interested to hear more feedback from others on the list about this issue...both sides of the coin have valid points...anyone?

However, the selection concentrates on not so chique, not so loungy material, but the more spiritual, hypnotic aspects of the Brazilian music.

She was 47. Chabola was special events coordinator for the Los Angeles Unified School District when she volunteered to help with the 1984 summer Olympics. She contributed to the dance routines for the opening and closing ceremonies at the Los Angeles Coliseum. That assignment won a Bob Fosse Award in choreography for her and her co-creator, Kenny Ortega. They both were nominated for an Emmy. Ms. Chabola choreographed the ceremonies for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, the 1992 and 1994 soccer World Cup, and 10 Super Bowl half-time shows. She worked on more than 100 special events and TV broadcasts, including Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Billboard and Essence awards. *Sally Payne Kelly LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Sally Payne Kelly, an actress who appeared in a series of 1940s Westerns with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry before becoming an illustrator for children's books, died Saturday. She was 85. Originally known as the ``Sunshine Girl'' of artists' models, Sally Payne came to Hollywood under contract to appear in Republic Studios cowboy films. She made her debut in a bit part as a tourist in the 1934 film ``Hollywood Hobbies.'' By 1940, before moving into a series of westerns, she had appeared as a maid in ``No, No, Nanette'' and as Lucy Endover in ``La Conga Nights.'' She married Western Airlines executive Arthur F. Kelly in 1942 and turned to art. She painted oils for her home and those of friends and illustrated a series of ``Small Star'' children's books, including ``Neighbors.'' *Leon Thomas NEW YORK (AP) -- Leon Thomas, a jazz singer known for his ululating style, died Saturday of heart failure as a result of leukemia. He was 61. Thomas developed his wordless yodeling style -- which he later called ``soularphone'' -- in the late 1960s when he performed with musician Pharoah Sanders. His elastic throat articulation was compared to African pygmy and American Indian singing techniques. Along with Sanders, Thomas helped develop ``kosmigroov,'' a type of spiritual African-tinged soul-jazz exemplified in recordings like ``The Creator Has a Master Plan'' (1969) and ``Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah-Hum Allah'' (1970). Born in Illinois, Thomas moved to New York in 1958 and worked as a straight blues-jazz singer. By the mid-1960s he was performing with Count Basie and Mary Lou Williams. Later in his career he recorded albums for the Flying Dutchman label, and spent two years with the band Santana. In recent years, he often sang at the Lenox Lounge in Harlem. May 14, 1999 Leon Thomas, 61, Jazz Singer Known for 'Yodel' By BEN RATLIFF,NYTimes Leon Thomas, a jazz singer known for his bellowing glottal-stop style in free jazz of the 1970's, died on Saturday at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. He was 61 and lived in the Bronx. The cause was heart failure as a result of leukemia, Karen Dagneau, his tour manager, said. Thomas, who was born in East St. Louis, Ill., and studied music at Tennessee State University, moved to New York in 1958. With his stout tenor voice, he worked as a straight blues-jazz singer, performing with Count Basie and Mary Lou Williams in the mid-60's. But by then he had also begun to spend time with young jazz musicians, like Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders, who were looking to Africa, the East and meditation for musical material. Onstage with Sanders in the late 60's Thomas developed his ululating singing style, which has been compared to African pygmy and American Indian singing techniques, and which he later called "soularphone." He believed that his ancestors had given him his elastic throat articulation, he said, and henceforth always used it. Pharoah Sanders tracks like "The Creator Has a Master Plan" from 1969 and "Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah-Hum Allah" from 1970 were full of Thomas's wordless yodeling over band vamps. This kind of spiritual African-tinged soul-jazz has become known as "kosmigroov." After working with Sanders and making some of his own albums for the Flying Dutchman label, he spent two years with the band Santana. In the last few years he often sang at the Lenox Lounge in Harlem. Thomas is survived by a son, Amos, of the Bronx, and a brother, Curtis of St. Louis. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "m.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) The eBay Question - the Shaman speaks Date: 14 May 1999 11:24:29 -0400 >Be happy with less (just think of the next time you have to move), >collect JPEGs, buy flowers for your mother!

I think my favourite though is highs of the mid 60s. Just for 'The light Show'. If any of you decide to buy any of the BFTG collections (there are 8 volumes), which are all heartily recommended by myself, buy the LPs if you can. The compiler (Tim Warren) hates CDs so much, he will actually lop off songs from the CD and put more on the vinyl. He also distributes or actually compiled "Jungle Exotica", which leans more toward Rock than orchestrated material but is enjoyable all the same. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: G.R.Reader@bton.ac.uk Subject: Subject: (exotica) not really Re: John Kirby Date: 14 May 1999 14:17:26 +0100 Off from a tangent from this I played out 'No Opportunity Neccessary No Experience Needed' by Yes from 'Time and a Word' last night, totally in keeping with the rest of my set.

If you are interested in production music, you probably know that most of the Ren & Stimpy cuts were from the Capitol / KPM libraries. (Caroline Records has two great CDs of this stuff). We also use the Chappell Music library. It includes the Captain Kangaroo cue we used in the first commercial we did for Old Navy (There is a quicktime version of that commercial on our website if you are interested.) Most of the music in our web cartoons comes from Chappell. The Chappell library also has great drama and crime cues. (A CD called "Betty Page Danger Girl" had a lot of these on it...) We just finished a prime time special for Cartoon Network starring Ranger Smith and Yogi Bear. We had the "cartoon music expert" Daniel Goldmark research the stock music used in the original series and we were able to license some of them. In a few cases, it was first time these tracks had been used in decades. Unfortunately, just like consumer CD's a lot of the libraries had undergone digital mauling. The stock music companies seem to feel the need to put digital reverb on old cuts, and filter out all the surface noise until the music loses all of its punch. On many of the most important cues, like John Seeley and William Loose's "Toboggan Run", we were able to convince them to pull the original acetate masters and make us straight unaltered dubs off of those. The funny thing is, I was watching an old Yogi Bear cartoon from the early sixties, and there were pops and clicks in the exact same places that there was pops and clicks on the acetate they pulled for us! Even back then, they sounded pretty much the same. In any case, you will really like the music... lots of great Jack Shandlain, George Hormel, John Seeley and William Loose tracks mixed in. It really gives it the feel of the old show.

Rob, the main character in High Fidelity, has his 36th birthday in the novel. Rob at one point spends a long paragraph talking about the meaning in Dusty Springfield's version of 'The Look of Love' The book was first published in 1995, if it would be written today, I would expect the Rob character to make a few more lounge/exotica references. I had the definite impression he was NOT into the mainstream...instead he ridicules much of it. This excerpt happens when he is looking through the CD collection of his girlfriend's co-workers......

This is a stunning 3 CD set that reissues the original 10" albums of early Theremin material by Dr. Samuel Hoffman! The records were originally issued by Capitol and RCA in the early 50's, and they're as rare as can be on vinyl. This set packs tiny 5" replicas of the albums themselves into a tiny box, along with a very nice booklet that contains a wealth of information on Hoffman, the Theremin, and lots of other nice bits. The orchestrations for the albums are by Les Baxter and Billy May, and the works were written by the enigmatic Harry Revel.

When I listen to the early Brazilian music, as represented on the "Brezil-the early years"-CDs, I notice that the songs seem to be based on often repeated strong chorus-lines sung unisono by groups of men and women, designed to be sung along as part of the fun of enjoying this kind of music. It seems to me that the people at that time were singing and/or dancing to music when listening, as a group experience. I remember when I was a kid we were visiting this friend of my mother in Italy, this beautiful film actrice, and she would take any opportunity to sing, like when driving around in her convertible car, or walking at the beach, and she would always reprimand me when I would not join her. I belong to the generation that has grown up entirely with records and tapes and no live music at all. I think I was 13 when I heard my first live concert; (according to neurologists it's too late then).

Ok book, can wait forever >for the movie In the absence of any other books set in used-record stores, "High Fidelity" comes off okay but I too thought the book fell short of my hopes. I'm not going to go and pull it off the shelves to prove my point but like Jimmy, I also thought that the musical references were limited to a very familiar "pop rock so-called collector's records". But that's okay. There are probably more people collecting that kind of stuff than anything else in the greater record collector world. As far as the movie goes, if it wasn't Stephen Frears and John Cusack involved, I would be certain that the used-record store context would just become a backdrop and nothing more. But something tells me that those involved are "hip" enough to properly exploit the whole record-collecting ambience. I posted about this after I read an item in a local paper about transplanted Torontonian Neko Case going down to Chicago to audition for the part of the singer. According to the item, she didn't think she got the part but still, if they're hip enough to know about her, that's a hopeful sign. But if you're looking for a film with slightly more record-collecting and exotica content, well... wait a couple of months and I'll tell you about one.

I can't remember the name of the record but I'm sure someone here will know it... Anyway in their latter days, they changed from a hot rock combo into a pseudo jazz band and did at least one record with Alice Coltrane playing harp. (Am I dreaming? I know there was harp but maybe it wasn't Alice.) That's not exactly exotica content but that record is pretty exotic and mellow and even kind of great in parts.

(Around the parts where I live black men have names like Roberto Blanco) Still, there IS a dimension in Brazilian music, that I can't explain any other than "black", and I think it's essential and I like it and I find it represented in the Brazilica 2 comp.

Enormously popular during the 1930s, today these songs are a window on a specific place and time, mirroring contemporary attitudes towards international events. But more than that, these songs are charming, clever, philosophical and funny, possessing a sophisticated (and often biting) wit.

From my experience you can't go wrong when it comes to 30's calypso collections. My favorite is "Where Was Butler" which came out on a Folklyric (9908) LP, I don't know if some or all of this came out on the later Rounder CDs. Other recommendations are: Wilmoth Houdini from the 1930's, Folklyric LP 9040 Calypso Breakaway, Rounder 1054 (LP/CD) Calypso Calaloo, Rounder 1105 (LP/CD) there is also at least one other Rounder collection that I've heard but don't own, but I don't recall the title.

The book actually irritated me, because my friends said 'the guy in the book - he's into music - he's just like you!'. Then when I read it, I felt that 'Rob' was really just into classic 'Rock, Blues and Soul'. I feel that this 'Rock, Blues and Soul' thing is the whole reason why I never got into lots of the music we discuss on this list before a few years ago. It was like I didn't know it existed! And that's why the thread 'how do I describe what kind of music I like to people I meet' often comes up on this list. I feel that the official history of popular music bypasses most of the stuff I enjoy most, and it seemed to me that the record shop owned by 'Rob' did just the same, even if he did ridicule a standard mainstream rock record collection. regards, Jonny # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Burn Baby Burn ! ! !

The continual production of compilation tapes with stupid themes, the constant noting of various lists of records(top 5 records I played on such and such a night), the minute details of records, etc etc. The book is primarily a love story - a broken down relationship has to be repaired and our hero spends time re-examining his life and then repairing his love life. He owns a second hand record shop as an aside but the obsessive details of his record collecting mark his life out and allow him (and the reader) to focus elsewhere. I think the message of the book affirms the relationship between a man and his hobbies (his obsessions) and the coupling of this with the traditional man-woman relationship. In other words, its OK for me to have too many records because my accumulation of records is a necessary and positive aside to my relationship with my fiancee.

Beyond the Valley of the Ultrabeats 1 and 2 - Good obscurities from some record collectors' pile. The compiler has made sure that he hasn't duplicated other compilations' selections - Good breaks and some unusual tracks but both LPs lack gems. (Is this something to do with you, El Maestro con Queso?) And today, I've been listening to The Duke of Burlington's two LPs A Revolution in Sound and Pressed Piano - both are superb, with that hard piano sound, flutes, breaks, instrumental/rocking/pop music - very Italian. Personally prefer Pressed Piano - its less psychedelic and more groovy. And finally, does anybody have Instant Insanity Drugs and LSD - Battle for the Mind on CD that they could copy onto MD or CDR and trade for something they've always wanted (or a mix).

It was from New Zealand and called "Velvet Dreams". It followed a search for the origin of a particular velvet painting portraying a naked Polynesian woman. The documentary is narrated "hardboiled style" as the narrator tries to find out anything he can about the "velvet lady" that has become an obsession for him. He travels to Seattle to meet velvet painting collectors; one of the "experts" hangs out in a place called "the Tiki Lounge". From there he goes to Tahiti in order to find out if his velvet lady was painted by Leeteg, the most famous of the velvet painters. It isn't. He finds the painter - Charles McPhee - back in New Zealand. Anyway, it's filled with tikis and exotica and Hawaiian music. Check it out if you get a chance.

It's by the sometimes great Ray Martin. On Phase Four (rather than Stereo Action for instance.) Called "The Sound of Sight" subtitled "Music for an experiment in imagination" It's a two sided musical collage, full of different moods, genres and sound effects. The only complaint I would have is that the cuts flow into each other and make it virtually impossible to put individual cuts on a compilation tape. Among the pieces of particular interest to someone here are "Destination Space", complete with countdown and other various spacey chatter. Then there's "Hoodunit" which is crime-jazz filled with nightclub sounds, creaking floors etc. The record is described in great detail in the liner notes. It's hard to sum it up here. I'm not surprised a record like this exists but I was still surprised when I found it. The cover art, by the way, is also very familiar and appropriate. A riot of cartoonish characters reflecting the themes on the record. By Jack Davis. The name isn't familiar but the style is. Sort of Mad Magazine looking.

My new appetite for any LP I'm not familiar with, which has that soft-pop fake hippy look. In that regard I bought two LP's last week. "The Love Generation" featuring their supposed hit "Groovy Summertime". It's on Imperial/Liberty. Can't discern an exact date. I'd guess late sixties. It's pretty good, more Fifth Dimension than Free Design. And the instrumental arrangements are a cut above average, including the subtle use of sitar-like sounds. The second LP is by the Sunshine Company and is called "Sunshine and Shadow". Also on Imperial/Liberty. (Did I read about them on the list here?) I can't decide what I think about this but there's less harmony than The Love Generation. So, are there any compilations of this kind of Orpheus/ Association hippy harmony stuff out there?

Again, I'll turn this over to AstroSlut's Mr. Keyboards, Quinn Martian, who has this to say: "One of my fave liner note quotes of all time is from the Love Generation's first Imperial LP. It says how during the recording of one of the songs, "...an impromptu party broke out, with 7-Up, pressed ham sandwiches, and flowers flowing freely." These guys made at least 3 albums for Imperial, and the cover art for the 3I've seen use pictures from the same photo shoot. They're a very sanitized Sears Roebuck version of '60's counterculture."

I really like this group, though admittedly in small doses. I think what I like more than the music is the following genealogy of this group. Centering around the vocal arranging brothers Tom and John Bahler the California Dreamers show up on a few Impulse albums including the phenomenal 1967, Gabor Szabo album "Wind Sky and Diamonds". A few years later the brothers and many of the California Dreamers formed the Love Generation. The similarity in the vocal arrangements is fairly evident and the happy-go-lucky and faux protest lyrics to their songs make them poignantly absurd (a plus in my book.) But here's the kicker, what group did the Bahler's become after the Love Generation? The Partridge Family!!! Yes, those wonderful vocalists backing up David Casidy and providing lip sync material for the rest of the group was actually Bahler and company which, I surmise, was many of the members of the Love Gen./Califonia Dreamers. 1970 is for me the end of my period of "exotica" interests, aside from odds and ends (moog lps, etc.) I cut my losses after this date. So, the development of this group has for me been the perfect real life analogy as to the development of late sixties pop into early seventies pop. But of course we all know it wasn't the Partridge Family that killed off any decent adult contemporary music that accolade I give to the Carpenters. Coincidentally , these groups first charted albums entered the charts almost within a month of each other.

A little over five years ago we presented what is still one of our best programming efforts, "Sitcom Rock," to a somewhat underwhelming response. "Sitcom Rock" showcases special episodes of classic situation comedies from the past -- all featuring rock band guest stars and/or rock n' roll storylines. Now, in the light of a Third Bardo reunion (no lie!), an Austin Powers SEQUEL, us getting calls to show "Sitcom Rock" and "Exotica Music Films" in cities across the country, and a '60s/mod/pop/etc. revival just getting up to speed that could dwarf all previous sixties revivals, the time seems ripe to present the 1999 ENHANCED VERSION of "Sitcom Rock." Enhanced, because this time the rare film prints will be projected on the bigger screen of the Trocadero, because we will be showing more stuff than before (including material we've never screened anywhere), and because we will be sharing the big Troc stage with two period-friendly pop bands -- the also recently reformed Nixon's Head, and young surf-rock bucks The Vipers. Unlike the last two Secret Cinema screenings/concerts at the Troc, the films, bands and audience will all be in the big room (and not in the Balcony). And unlike other "movie nights" at the Troc/Balcony -- this program will be shown in 16mm film (not video). The show is on Saturday, May 29. There will be one complete program beginning at 9:30 pm. Doors open at 9:00 pm. Admission is $6.00. Highlights of "Sitcom Rock" will include: THE MUNSTERS: The Munsters agree to rent out their house to touring rock group The Standells. When they return, they find a way-out beatnik party in progress, but Herman soon gets in the spirit and tries out some impromptu beat poetry (The Standells, in a pre-"Dirty Water" phase, perform "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "Do The Ringo"). THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW: In a special episode of this somewhat-forgotten series about the trials of two pairs of middle-agers coping with their married offspring, the older set have a go at managing wild primitive rockers Sky Saxon and The Seeds! This amazing show was directed by Desi Arnaz, and also features Joe Besser of The Three Stooges (what a meeting of the minds!). THE FLINTSTONES: In "Shinrock-a-Go-Go," then-popular rock showcase SHINDIG and its host Jimmy O'Neill are caricatured, as are San Francisco's genius folk-rock/beat group The Beau Brummels. Fred inadvertently invents a new dance craze, "The Flintstone Flop," as "The Beau Brummelstones" play their hit "Laugh Laugh." Plus much more, including THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW (Opie's garage band play their first gig at a teen party), and LOVE AMERICAN STYLE (with segments featuring both Davy Jones and Sonny & Cher).

Kodak may quit 62-year-old attraction AP News Service HONOLULU (AP) _ When the dancing women of the Kodak Hula Show say aloha next month, it may be for the last time. Eastman Kodak Co. said Tuesday it is considering ending its sponsorship of the 62-year-old free tourist attraction at Kapiolani Park by the beaches of Waikiki. ``It's under consideration,'' said Everett Fritz, a Kodak distribution manager in Hawaii. ``But there is lots of work behind the scenes to see if we can keep the show running.'' Some of the show's performers said they have been told to start looking for another job while city officials look for a new sponsor. The show features a cast of 40 men and women from the Royal Hawaiian Glee Club, including hula dancers dressed in traditional skirts made of green ti leaves with yellow leis around their necks and in their hair. At the end, the cast spells out ``Hawaii'' in giant red and yellow letters. The show was the idea of former Kodak executive Fritz Herman, who saw it as a way to sell more film. Herman thought tourists had little opportunity to take pictures of hula dancers in daylight. It is still the only daytime show of its kind in Hawaii, said host Kimo Kahoano.

Can't sell film that way. Other interesting note: Nearly 8% of all film that Kodak makes is exposed at one of the Disney theme parks.

(Am also trying to figure out what the 2 disc compilation "Suck It and See" is all about - it does have a Fantastic Plastic Machine song on it - just more garden variety technolectronica or something special?) BTW, considering the threads about EZ vocals like Free Design et al, give another listen to the Fleetwoods. There is a 28 track EMI compilation for $9.99 at CDNow ($10-off coupon special just expired) which contains all the hits plus some acapella stuff, especially a hauntingly lovely "Unchained Melody." Very little lame filler, and better than the Rhino comp of a few years back despite the omission of "Truly Do." Excellent liner notes (Roy Lanham & Si Zentner played on Mister Blue) and a story that the title of "Come Softly to Me" was originally "Come Softly" but the producer changed it - well, it WAS 1959. In retrospect a fine body of work, and IMHO these kids seem to have been taken for granted here as EZ pioneers in the heyday of rock. Sweet, simple, charming and innocent, except maybe "Lovers By Night,Strangers By Day." Great nighttime music.

Coincidentally, it just ran on AMC. I was slightly disappointed... it's in that less compelling zone between the really good and the cheap 'n' sleazy poles. It had that made-for-tv movie feel. Even had Tony Franciosa as the male lead, y'know? But worth a viewing, with some of that fun quirkiness that 60s movies have, like Clive Revill's performance as a twistedly eccentric jewel thief. Raquel is a trooper as always. She plays a dental hygienist (sic?)/ part-time skydiver touring Europe with her skydiving buddies. But she's quickly sidetracked into a spy/jewel theft conspiracy. A cheery little action flick that never gets into anything that would raise the budget too much (a yacht gets all smoky but never actually explodes). The music (by John Dankworth) had some nice moments, I think. I seem to recall thinking, "yeah, the gang on the list would like this bit." But to be honest, I can't recall a lick of it now. I have been meaning to mention "Dr. Goldfoot & The Bikini Machine", which ran on AMC this past weekend. Score by Les Baxter, and a real fun one, I thought (with Les, there's always more (sorry)). I don't know if he wrote the music for the title song (sung by The Supremes), but he employs a lot of variations on its main riff in the score. Also has a lot of fun "busy" music, sort of like cartoon music, sort of like "Busy Port". Some nifty horror and action cues too. I swear, Francis Vincent Zappa must have listened to a good helping of Les in his youth. Juxtapose "Jungle Riverboat" and "Uncle Meat: Main Title Theme" sometime. I don't know if there was a soundtrack album released for "Dr. Goldfoot", but like Jane F, I'm happy enough to hear it via the video. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Otto returns Date: 19 May 1999 23:12:53 EDT to Radio Valencia this Thursday, May 20 Premiering new CD releases and the usual cheesy listening (plenty of Beatles covers too!)

I adore the Fleetwoods, but one thing that appeals so strongly to me about their records is how even though the records all sound "Sweet, simple, charming and innocent," the songs themselves are largely about affairs, trysts and cheating. Pretty heady stuff for high school kids. A few examples: It's all over town, I was the last one to know... I'm Mr. Blue when you say you're sorry then prove it by going out on the sly... His future's bright, my future's dim, and all the dreams we shared you share with him... With your arms around him, you're so glad you found him, you never once looked up to see me... You get the point. Barbara, Gretchen and Gary had a fantastic sense for prosody, and to me, the most appealing aspect of their EZ sound is the way it is juxtaposed against the haunting despair in many of their songs. Just one guy's opinion, though. One more quick point. The Fleetwoods' sound borrows heavily from the Teddy Bears, so if you gotta give credit to someone for being the pioneer of EZ vocal pop, give it to Phil Spector (who resurrected that sound on his Paris Sisters sides too). >[The Fleetwoods are] Great nighttime music.

And in case anyone else is as morricone-obsessed as me, the fantastic 'canto morricone' series is available through cduniverse.com for around $17 per CD (oddly, they are listed as 'soundtrack collections: the morricone songbook); you can also get $5 off at the moment by typing 'save' into the promotional box.

Birch Bayh's signature campaign theme song, ``Hey, Look Me Over,'' died Friday. She was 64. Mrs. Conrad's marriage to Larry Conrad, the state's former secretary of state, brought her into politics. But she wrote her own footnote in political history in 1962 when, as a worker in Bayh's first senatorial bid, she wrote ``Hey, Look Me Over.'' The jingle became popular and won a national song-writing award. *Charles W. Mapes Jr. SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Charles W. Mapes Jr., whose hotel-casino attracted the rich and famous during its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, died Thursday of complications following heart surgery. He was 78. The 12-story Mapes Hotel in Reno, Nev., opened on Dec. 17, 1947, and the glorious mountain views from atop its Sky Room once drew politicians, high rollers and Hollywood's elite, including Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Shirley Temple. It closed on Dec. 17, 1982, and has stood shuttered ever since. Mapes' hotel was the first in the country to feature gambling, dining, entertainment and luxury accommodations under one roof. Among those performing at the Mapes were Sammy Davis Jr., Mae West, the Marx Brothers, Gypsy Rose Lee and Danny Thomas. Its unique art deco style earned it a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The resort was named last year as one of the most endangered historic places in the country by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. *Kyriacos Demetriou NEW YORK (AP) -- Kyriacos Demetriou, a haircutter whose old-fashioned barbershop was re ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuck Subject: (exotica) free designing hippies Date: 20 May 1999 13:35:25 -0700 (PDT) I was in Tower records at lunch time and spotted a 4 volume comp of this Orpheus/Association hippy harmony good feeling late 60's music called Sunshine Days.

The gentle harmonies of these indie bands remind me so much of the Teddy Bears or the Fleetwoods. I personally believe this sound originated with the Big Band vocal groups on some of their soft harmonizing ballads or the softer edged doo wop songs. Even though Richie Vallens was singing by himself, his Donna (which was the bigger hit over La Bamba, the flip side, where he also pioneered "Latin Rock') also predates the Teddy Bears and I believe the Fleetwoods and is in the same vain. And don't forgert Ricky Nelson whose producer was very fond of turning up the echo and letting Ricky harmonize with himsef. Ricky was also a pioneer of "Country Rock" Also one of my favorite songs out of Seattle is "Tall Cool One" by the Wailers, sp? It still sends chills down my spine. Special mention always goes to Louie Louie whose vocalist was described by David Marsh as sounding like Donald Duck on helium, not to mention the drummer who always seems to be a little behind and the riot ot a lead.

And in the middle of an echoey space jam, it hits me. Hard. The major RING WEAR on the sleeve...looks...friggin' brilliant. No drugs here, kids, it just occured to me that if a designer today were to create that ghost-like image of outer ring of record, inner ring, and yes, even faint sign of hole (all can be seen on this baby), I would fall to my knee pads screaming GENIUS. How funny that all these years, I've treated that wear as a screen through which I tried to view the image better, never once incorporating the graphic reality of the rings into the total look of the artwork. Time to thumb thru every record I own and see if my flimsy epiphany really holds water. Ciao!

Still, there's a good chance that Bob Keane went for this as a single based on the growing success of the Teddy Bears record. In any event, Valens' style was varied, while the Teddy Bears (and Fleetwoods) stayed in the soft harmony vein. And although I previously wrote that the Teddy Bears, if anyone, should be given credit for being the pioneers of this style, in all fairness it should be pointed out that some critics suspect Spector borrowed the style of this song from The Aquatones=1B$B=92=1B(B Top 25 hit "You", released 8 months earlier.=20 The Fleetwoods debut record "Come Softly" (Dolphin 1) wasn't issued until March 9, 1959. > And don't forgert Ricky Nelson whose producer was very > fond of turning up the echo and letting Ricky harmonize > with himsef.=20 That producer, btw, was named Ozzie!

The location is in a park called "Parco Enza" in a small town called "Montecchio Emilia" on June 12th, Saturday. The acts announced are: - Paolo Scotti (Ita) - The Karminsky Experience (UK) - Valvola (Ita) - The Fez File (Ita) - Sam Paglia (Ita) - Mina (Ger) - Mo'Plen (Ita) - Balanco (Ita) - Montefiori Cocktail (Ita) - Le Hammond Inferno (Ger) - Berto Pisano (Ita) - Piero Piccioni (Ita) - Pizzicato 5 (Ja) A real live loungeapallooza ! There should be more of these, but with all the good music coming out of Italy it makes sense its held there. P-5 are suppose to DJ and I'm guessing Mo'Plen is a dj act not a band.

I know what you mean, even if I don't quite get the analogy. I suppose if Al Stewart gets the Soft Pop label, the next one in is Al (Franken) as Stewart (Smalley), but that's not really my point. Let's build some parameters around soft pop's definition. To me it has to reflect a certain well-meaning earnestness slightly corrupted by commerciality. It can be slightly pretentious, but not dogmatic. It is influenced by the 6T's Folk Music period but not "pure" in an acoustic folkie sense. It might be called E-Z Folk.
