First off, Mac owners rejoice! Macamp, the shareware MP3 player now receives live streams. I get a lot of questions from mac owners about MP3 players and streaming... looks as if our prayers have finally been answered. Word of caution though: This is an ALPHA release, and probably buggy - if it has problems, it should not screw-up the rest of your system, since it does not install any extensions. Please let me know if it works as I have not had time to check it out. Also, those of you emailing about the current Feelthymonkey program, It's back up after sever hours of go-round with my ISP. Aaaargh! Lastly, "Sponge Bob Square Pants," The newest Nicktoon is worth a peek. Aside from being quite clever and funny, it's full of tiki imagery, babmboo furniture and Hawaiian uke n' steel guitar. Wooohooo!

The album opens with a newly recorded "short version" of Raymond Scott's "POWERHOUSE," and closes with a new "long version" of the same tune. Hear a clip via RealAudio on the Raymond Scott NEWS page: http://RaymondScott.com * * * * * * * RECKLESS NIGHTS AND TURKISH TWILIGHTS -- remastered edition set for US release September 99 -- Sony Legacy is set to release the remastered edition of the landmark 1992 Raymond Scott CD, RECKLESS NIGHTS AND TURKISH TWILIGHTS. The US version has a street date of September 21. This 22-track CD features the original 78 rpm tracks by the Raymond Scott Quintette, including the major RSQ titles (esp. those used in WB cartoons) such as "Powerhouse," "The Toy Trumpet," "The Penguin," "In an 18th Century Drawing Room," "Twilight in Turkey," etc. The compilation was produced by Irwin Chusid, with Hal Willner as Executive Producer. On the new version, all tracks were 24-bit remastered at Sony Studios, NYC (i.e., the latest technology was used to extract better sound from the original 1937-40 metal master discs). Two tracks ("Oil Gusher" and "At An Arabian House Party") have been replaced by different, newly discovered -- and better -- performances. The liner notes have been corrected, updated, and expanded, and the inside booklet has been redesigned and given a new typeface for easier legibility. This album was released outside the US on Basta in late 1998. Liner notes for the Sony Legacy release have been further revised since the Basta edition. * * * * * * * TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS TP & the Heartbreakers rented the only existing Raymond Scott CLAVIVOX to use on sessions for the band's most recent album, ECHO. The Clavivox was designed by Scott in the 1950s. Originally intended to be a keyboard theremin, it evolved into a multi-featured electronic sound generator -- i.e., a synthesizer. The lone surviving Clavivox (Scott built at least three) is owned by the Audities Foundation (http://Audities.org), of Los Angeles. It is not known which tracks on ECHO feature the Clavivox. David Kean, proprietor of Audities, will provide more details to us when Petty's keyboardist returns from touring. * * * * * * * RAYMOND SCOTT CHESTERFIELD ARRANGEMENTS performed by the Metropole Orchestra featuring the Beau Hunks Saxtette to be released on Basta Records, October 1999 On a 1997 US research expedition, Beau Hunks leader Gert-Jan Blom discovered a collection of large-scale orchestral arrangements for 17 Scott Quintet titles. These had been commissioned by noted bandleader Paul Whiteman for his late 1930s Chesterfield radio program. The catalog included two very different treatments of "Powerhouse," along with familiar RS tunes like "War Dance for Wooden Indians" and "The Toy Trumpet." Blom also found scores for an unknown and never-recorded tune called "Suicide Cliff," and charts for the rarely heard "Tia Juana" and "Mexican Jumping Bean." These works were performed on the Chesterfield series from late 1937 to late 1938, but Whiteman recorded just a few of them. Blom has now recorded these works with the Metropole Orchestra, one of the finest large jazz ensembles in Europe. (The Metropole has worked with Brian Eno, among others). The Chesterfield arrangements called for a virtuoso saxophone sextet, so Blom added the sax sections from the Beau Hunks Orchestra. Unlike the Beau Hunks Sextette replications of the original RSQ versions, the Chesterfield versions are radically re-arranged. They are CARL STALLING-like in some ways Will Friedwald writes in the liner notes: "Even Raymond would have had to admit that the Whiteman Orchestra was, in some instances, better equipped to carry out his artistic vision than his Quintette. Where the six-piece group can simulate only a handful of "wooden Indians," the full band gives you the entire tribe. The Whitemanites expand "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals," "Twilight In Turkey," and "Egyptian Barn Dance" to Cecil B. DeMille-like proportions. What's remarkable is that all this unique music was written, performed once or twice on the air and then forgotten, all within a one-year period." * * * * * * * RAYMOND SCOTT ORCHESTRETTE The seven-man RAYMOND SCOTT ORCHESTRETTE (RSO) played an acclaimed show at Central Park SummerStage opening for They Might Be Giants in June. The band, which performed modernistic arrangements of eight RS tunes, made its debut at the Jewish Museum in February 1999. The RSO consists of Wayne Barker (piano, arrangements); Brian Dewan (electric zither, piano, accordion, electronics); Michael Hashim (saxes); Will Holshouser (accordion, arrangements); George Rush (bass); Rob Thomas (violin); and Clem Waldmann (drums). These musicians (and dozens of others) first performed Raymond's music at the Bottom Line tribute shows in 1996 and '97. The RSO hopes to record an album demo later this summer and seek a record deal. Performance dates in NYC and a possible tour are being explored.

This collection, produced by Beau Hunks leader Gert-Jan Blom, will feature first-time releases of archival Scott recordings from the 1950s-1970s. These works feature such RS inventions as the Electronium, Clavivox, Circle Machine (early sequencer), Rhythm Modulator, Bassline Generator and more. The album will include collaborative works with Jim Henson, and a 96-page booklet featuring interviews with people who knew and worked with Scott (e.g., Mitzi Scott, Robert Moog, Tom Rhea, Motown's Guy Costa), along with countless previously unseen photos, documents, and RS scrapbook items. * * * * * * * This mailing list has been compiled from those who have inquired about RAYMOND SCOTT over the past few years.

Their success has produced many imitators, but none have managed to duplicate the sure touch and feeling for melody which has made them such a hit." While I don't believe for a minute that they were the first, they certainly were the first trio to have such sucess both artistically and in terms of popularity. The liner notes for that lp, by the way, also explains the reason for their success - " They play the kind of music most people want to hear and they play it the way most people want to hear it." This odd explanation, for some reason, just cracks me up. I have one album which is a blatant Three Suns imitation - Mood Rhapsody by The Three Tops. Organ - Guitar - Accordion. I don't know how much closer in name they could've gotten! The Three Planets maybe? On the Crown label. It sounds like an imitation of the suns at their lamest, but at least there's no string section. # 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: Re: (exotica) A Rhino Hand Job Date: 01 Aug 1999 19:25:56 EDT What do I think? I was expecting something a little more exciting than latter day Wild Man Fischer for their big first release. If this is the amazingly exciting collectors material they are going to be releasing I think that limited edition pressings of 1000 may be TOO MANY. Someone had said that the second release was rumored to be early singles only and unreleased Devo. That stuff has been on bootleg for years and is actually very good. Much better, to me, than the official Devo recordings. However, it looks as if that will not be the second release. Too bad. I have serious doubts about "Beneath The Planet Of The Apes" or Frank Comstock being on the list of potential future releases. Seems more likely we'll get CD reissues of the early Rhino wrestling albums.

And that's not a risk anyone should take. * THE FINEST AND FELLINIEST IN EUROPEAN CINEMA! - Fellini's 1963 cosmopolitan classic _8 1/2_ on the Highland's gargantuan screen. * DANCE TO THE INTERNATIONAL BEATS OF ENOCH LIGHT! - Incorporating the 4th Annual (and probably final -- these things are a lot of work!) regional birthday memorial celebrations of late Canton-born music legend Enoch Light and the 40th anniversary of his swingin' Command Records label. Prepare to Twist, Cha Cha, Frug, Hully Gully, Rhumba, Mashed Potato, Merengue, Bossa Nova, and Bostella as DJ Tothar transforms the Highland into a transcontinental Discotheque with the hi-fi sounds of Light and his contemporaries. NOTE: After its humble beginnings in Canton in 1996, the first Enoch Light memorial birthday-a-go-go party spawned simultaneous Enoch Light events the next two years in Minneapolis, Boston, Columbus, New York City, Cleveland, San Francisco, Kent, and Edinburgh, Scotland. True Jet Setters will also want to experience the 1999 Light synchronicity in the San Francisco bay area at the Beauty Bar on Tuesday August 17th. Something special may happen at midnight, as Light's actual birthdate was August 18th. For information on the San Francisco event, contact Otto Von Stroheim at Ottotemp@aol.com We might be doing a small run of Command 40th Anniversary commemorative T-shirts this time around. Shirts were something I didn't have time for last year, and *maybe* I'll pull it off this year. If you definitely want one and you're from out of town, tell me what shirt sizes and what quantity and I'll get back with you with a file attachment with the design. Figure $12 post-paid per shirt, with lower prices on shipments of multiple shirts. Contact me at the address below, or Zombo at zombo@apk.net , with any questions about this event.

You ain't seen nuthin yet! I just wanted to let you know I finally put the site through a big overhaul, still at: http://members.tripod.com/~ThreeSuns/ The most significant development is the new site navigation. Other addtions/areas: * "ON A MAGIC CARPET" - a page of Three Suns and Space Age Pop related links; let me know if I should have your site listed but I left it out. * "THE THINGS I LOVE IN HI-FI" - a forum for Movers & Groovers everywhere to submit their fan comments for posterity (or just for my personal amusement if they don't want them posted) * A bare-bones, as-complete-as-possible discography page, until the areas other than the "Living Stereo Era" get all their scans, track listings, and liner notes together. Additions and corrections very much welcome! Any RCA reel-to-reel or 8-track historians out there who can supplement with other format information? * Recording session log info and musician rosters in the Living Stereo discography area for _Twilight Memories_ and the two albums probably of most interest to most of us here: _Fever & Smoke_ and _Movin' & Groovin'_. Thanks, Irwin!!! * A couple of news items on the new main menu page. FYI, the site should be respectably viewable in most browser environments, but it definitely looks best in a Javascript-compatible, 4.x version Netscape/Explorer browser on an 800x600 monitor with at least thousands of colors.

Back when we started this thread, this was the stuff I was mostly talking about. And it's still the stuff I'm mostly interested in. I can see how they're actually two semi-distinct categories but for me they go together. I believe this whole discussion began with The Free Design and even though they don't have much happening instrumentally, I can't imagine anything much more "psychedelic" than "Kites are Fun". >recently came across some of this type of thing with bands like the >sunshine company, the three ring circus, sweetwater. Buying a Free Design compilation and then finding a Sunshine Company LP was what started this thing for me. Then there were the records I already had or the bands I was familiar with but didn't have the records anymore. I had the Three Ring Circus LP for a while but mostly listened to the instrumental side. Then this thread started and I fell in love with their tune "Lovin Machine". And I rebought the first Association LP, which had been one of the first records I ever owned and loved. Some of the psychedelic hippy rock veers away from "soft rock" and actually rocks. Some of the soft rock was made by certified psychedelic hippies. And some of it was folk-rock. Then there's the Fifth Dimension's version of "Sunshine of your Love". And has anyone heard any of Keith Textor's NON-Stereo Action records? You could probably even squeeze an "Up with People" cut onto a soft rock/hippie rock tape. And then there are those two classic Toronto bands The Paupers and The Kensington Market. Surviving members of those bands would hate to be included in this category I'm sure. At some point in every show, the two Paupers guitarists would play percussion and the bass player would play a long "solo" in front of three percussionists. But they have tunes that fit for me. Same with Every Mother's Son. When I make my definitive tape, it'll be all over the place. I'll probably even include some Ultimate Spinach. Besides, what could be more psychedelic, more like an acid trip, more liable to bring on acid flashbacks (or homicidal hallucinations) than the Free Design's "Kites are Fun"?

Subject: Re: (exotica) what is cheese, again Date: 02 Aug 1999 11:28:23 +0200 Looks like all questions answered about "cheese".... it was a short but very interesting discussion, in my opinion. Let me just add this: Although I understand Nat's point (of defining what "cheesy" means), I tend to see it like Frank. I remember this time in the late 70s, when all things "cheesy" (B-movies, weird clothes) suddenly became hip. Values were twisted. At that time you could still say, I like something, *because* it is cheesy. It was the time of Punk, in fact it was what Punk was all about. But today? Any stupid talk-show tries so hard to feature oh-so-cheesy things, because they are *so* "funny"... I must admit: I can't stand it anymore. If this It's-cheesy-that's-why-I-like-it-game is so predictable, it has lost its entire irritainment-factor. It's neither cool, nor funny, nor does it open any new door of tabu worlds. So I arrive at Frank's point of view: >The key is that things I like I don't consider as cheesy, kitsch, camp, etc. . >If I like it it's damned good and it would hardly matter if the consensus >opinion told me otherwise. I would challenge others to take this point of >view. nothing to add to this Mo # 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: "n.e.u."

It does have the bad connotations, but for me, its music that makes me happy. I love the sound of Organs, Farfisas, Hammonds, I just love 'em. Now its hard to describe a lot of it as anything but Cheesy, overblown, silly melodied, fun, happy, music. And a lot of my friends listen to it and say, 'Well, this is all a bit cheesy, isn't it?'.

Its funny the difference between responses you get posted to the list and those sent directly, Through the list the consensus was 'Warp back to Earth is not very good, Space Patrol is better' and off list it was more 'I like Warp Back to Earth, don't care for the remixes, like Moonflowers and Miniskirts and not too sure about Space Patrol'. I can see that Space Patrol more fits the idea of 'what the list would like', its more traditionally 'Space Music', with strings and noises and spookiness, with a couple of tracks of the type of go-go music I'm enjoying so much at the moment. Whereas Warp back to earth is much more combo based music, almost embryonic Kraut Rock, acoustically reminiscent of Can in places. On both LPs most of the tracks are about 2 minutes, and there are very few structured songs on either, as you'd expect from soundtrack LPs. I think its interesting that (previous to the new look, controversy loving list) people seemed to send offlist responses that wouldn't reflect the lists perceived status quo. I don't know if it would be conscious or not. I'd say that of its time the music from the Warp back to Earth LP was the more exotic and unworldly, and the Space Patrol stuff was quite conventional (for the Science fiction/outer space genre). I still wish 'Moonflowers and Miniskirts' would come out on Vinyl though. Not Cheesy, neither of 'em.

Meeuse Date: 02 Aug 1999 14:30:49 -0700 S. African Singer Simon Nkabinde Dies Popularized Zulu Music, Played with Stevie Wonder, Sting Associated Press Sunday, August 1, 1999; Page C06 JOHANNESBURG—Simon Nkabinde, 61, a singer who became a legend in South Africa while popularizing Zulu music internationally, died of diabetes July 28 at a hospital here. Mr. Nkabinde, better known as Mahlathini, was the gravel-voiced lead singer for his group, Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens. He had performed his music alongside such internationally known artists as Stevie Wonder and Sting. Mr. Nkabinde grew up in a township in Johannesburg and began singing at an early age, performing at weddings and parties. He began his association with the Gallo Music Co. in the 1960s and, in the 1970s, popularized Mbaqanga music, a fusion of dominant African rhythms, pop and jazz that started in the black township of Soweto outside Johannesburg. President Thabo Mbeki said Friday that Mr. Nkabinde's death was a tragic loss and paid tribute to his contribution to South African culture. The president said Mr. Nkabinde would always be remembered through his music. Mbeki's office called Nkabinde a legend in South African music and culture who was seminal in the development of indigenous music. Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens produced hit after hit in the 1960s and 1970s, becoming one of the most popular bands in Africa. The group often was regarded as South Africa's first superband. Although the group disbanded in the late 1970s, it reformed to record the hit Yebo in 1984. Mr. Nkabinde's death comes at a time when Mbaqanga music is experiencing a revival, with pop groups remixing it in various forms. Porfirio Delgado Guitar Maker Porfirio Delgado, 85, whose Candelas Guitars made instruments for such Hispanic stars as Los Panchos, Los Diamantes, Los Lobos, Jose Feliciano and Andres Segovia, died July 28 at his home in East Los Angeles after a heart attack. He and older brother, Candelario, who died in 1983, opened Candelas Guitars in East Los Angeles in 1948. It is currently run by Mr. Delgado's grandsons, Tomas and Manuel. -------------------------- Harry 'Sweets' Edison, Jazz Musician, Dies at 83 Trumpeter Played With Sinatra, Fitzgerald Thursday, July 29, 1999 Harry "Sweets" Edison, 83, a master of the jazz trumpet who was a mainstay of the Count Basie Orchestra and who accompanied singers such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, died of prostate cancer July 27 in his native Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Edison joined the Count Basie Orchestra in the mid-1930s when he was 18 and became a featured soloist. Basie saxophonist Lester Young dubbed him "Sweets" because of the pleasing tone of his horn. Mr. Edison stayed with Basie until about 1950 before heading off to perform with his own quintet. He recorded his own albums--notably "Sweets for the Sweet Taste Of Love"--accompanied Frank Sinatra as a studio musician and worked with Benny Carter on movie soundtracks. Over the years, he played with most of the famous big bands, including those of Buddy Rich, Quincy Jones, Louis Bellson, Henry Mancini and Nelson Riddle. He taught music seminars at Yale University in the Duke Ellington Fellowship Program, and he was honored as a "master musician" with a 1991 National Endowment for the Arts Award. Mr. Edison was known among jazz fans for his individual style, phrasing and articulation. A few riffs were so closely associated with his playing that other musicians waited for their appearance whenever he stood up to solo. He rarely disappointed them, always recasting the brief, familiar melodies--especially his trademark riff, a phrase that usually began with eight repeated notes followed by a slithery descending line--with a new twist. After working with Basie, he toured with Jazz at the Philharmonic in the 1950s and was musical director for entertainer Josephine Baker. He traveled to Europe and South America with Rich and then settled in Los Angeles. It was then that he started working for Riddle and his top client, Sinatra. He is heard on many Sinatra albums, such as "Songs for Swinging Lovers." In the 1960s and '70s, Mr. Edison did scores for television shows and films. His work was prominently featured in the soundtrack of "Lady Sings the Blues," the story of Billie Holiday. From 1973 on, he frequently acted as musical director for Redd Foxx on theater dates, at concerts and in Las Vegas. In the '70s, he also teamed with saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis for a number of dates. Mr. Edison worked right up until last month. He traveled to Europe in the spring and was scheduled to perform next weekend in Long Beach, Calif. Survivors include a daughter. ----------------------- SEATTLE (AP) - Bastiaan J.D. Meeuse, a professor emeritus of botany at the University of Washington who researched a particularly malodorous type of lily for more than 50 years, died Tuesday of pneumonia. He was 83. Meeuse wrote more than 200 articles on the voodoo lily, a relative of the ``corpse flower'' that came into rare bloom last month at the university, and other plants. He discovered a moss enzyme that oxidizes oxalic acid. Now the enzyme helps monitor blood in people who produce excess oxalic acid, which can cause deadly crystals in their kidneys. But his passion remained researching the heat-and-stench generating pollination phase of the voodoo lily. ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere! # 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: "The Brimstones" Subject: Re: (exotica) Istanbul Date: 02 Aug 1999 15:35:05 -0400 -----Original Message----- > >recliner wrote: > >> Please let me know >> what you can add to my list...

It still had harmonies, it was still aimed to sell on the top forty pop charts, but the arrangements got a bit more psycheldelic. There were lots of songs done by rock bands back then that were pschedelic pop songs released as singles for the pop charts/pop market (or at least they could have been). Off the top of my head I can think of "Dandiliens" and She comes in Colors" by the Rolling Stones( a band that rolled with every trend in music). "See Emily Play" by Pink Floyd, "Armenia City in the Sky" by the Who, "Little Miss Strange" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Itchycoo Park" by the Small Faces, "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" by Traffic and "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by the Status Quo. These songs are a little more psychedelic than the sunshine pop hits of the Association, Harpers Bizarre, or the Fifth Dimension. The whole pschedelic pop scene was enormous with local bands from around the world tying to capture the pschedelic pop sound. To confuse the situation more in 1967/68 we also saw the rise of power pop by bands like the Nazz (Open My Eyes), Spirit (Got A Line On You), and the Bubble Puppy (Hot Gas and Sassafrass). Power pop has continued on through out the years. NotLame Records out of Colorado specializes with modern and comp online salws of almost exclusicely power pop. To confuse the situation even more, along comes bubble gum music. There is one song that crosess over to psychedelic pop, bubble gum and sunshine pop,... Green Tamborine. To add to the rock side of Creme and Jimi Hendrix along comes Blue Cheer and Led Zepplilin to give us hard rock.You gotta love the 60's. But the 70's were great in their own way. The sophisticated "on the one" of the JBs and James Brown and P Funk. The beautiful fushion of Miles Davis, Weather Report and Mahavishnu. The Philly sound, early disco and finally Punk screaming out and back to the garage rock sounds of 1965/66. For me Abba, Elton John and Wings were the main proponets of the 60's pop sounds in the 1970's and they were very weak imitations. I generally ignored pop and soft rock hits of the 70's but there were some winners in there.

Chuck - I agree - the more I listen the more I like it. "Shopping" and "Groovin With You" and "Mr. Whiskey" are very listenable and, of course, "Gentle People Are Love" is clearly dancefloor material. I actually just now got off the phone with Dougee Dimensional in London; they've got a big gig coming up this Friday night (did I ask where - no! - I'm in Dallas), but he said they've got UK distribution for SIMPLY FABOO in the works, and possibly US distribution through Caroline, but nothing confirmed. GP is moogy, this release is a little more "poppish," and the cuts toward the end of the album retain the loungy ambience of their first release. BTW, Chuck - where did you find your copy? I got mine through Medium Rare in SF, but had to shell out $30 for it!

I can't find it in my dictionary. I >think it means something like cheap, fake or so, no? Kitsch.... Cheezy and tacky mean about the same thing... poorly made knockoffs... not well planned... cheap imitations. When I use it to describe music, I usually use it to describe something that uses crass effect over real musicianship. Ping pong stereo, fake bird calls, sound effects, and heavy use of reverb all are elements that I consider to be cheezy. All of these techniques can be used tastefully, but only in sparing doses. Kitsch is something that pretends to be "high class" or meaningful, but is actually in poor taste or a cheap imitation... Wood grain wallpaper, marblized plastic busts of Beethoven, and salt and pepper shakers in the shape of praying hands all fall into that category. In music, pseudo-classical ornamentation and trills, overblown emotional histrionics and bad light-operatic singing all fall into the category of kitsch. Camp is a subset of kitsch... something that was intended to be serious by its creator, but is now perceived as being funny. The Shaggs are a perfect example of Camp Music. I wouldn't label all "lounge" music as camp, kitsch or cheezy. But there certainly is a lot of it that does fit in that category. When I taunted the ire of Pele by saying that I much prefer Arthur Lyman to Martin Denny, it was because of Denny's songs like "March of the Siamese Children" or "Tse Tse Fly" which use cheezy effects to extreme. I can't listen to songs like this over and over. They grate on me the more I hear them. In contrast, Arthur Lyman's version of "March of the Siamese Children" (which admittedly isn't one of his best numbers) is much more tolerable on repeat listenings because Lyman in this case didn't put effect ahead of the musicality of the arrangement. It seems that a lot of the "lounge" comps have picked the stupidest and least listenable cuts of the artists they cover. For the life of me, I can't imagine anyone listening to "Zounds What Sounds" more than once, but cuts from it are sprinkled through the Capitol collections along with many equally annoying novelty cuts. It's like the people who assemble these things don't really like the music, they are just picking the cuts that jump out at them as sounding "unique". Arthur Lyman isn't spared either... the "Sonic Sixties" CD skillfully assembles every descent into "keeping up with the kids" camp that Lyman ever put to wax, and Xavier Cugat's indescresions are doomed to haunt the stacks for a long time to come in the dreadful "Cugie A-Go Go" collection. I would like to hear the more serious Esquivel album that someone mentioned, because there are times squeezed in between the goofy boy-girl choruses and ping pong clatter that I hear something I really like in his music. There isn't a lot of that in the Esquivel compilation CDs though. There is a lot of "POW! POW! POW!" however...

Subject: Re: (exotica) Cheeze vs Kitsch (Lyman vs Denny) Date: 03 Aug 1999 12:49:34 +0200 Stephen W. Worth, thanks for your definitions of "cheesy", "camp" and "kitsch". I will add them to my dictionary. Still I don't understand, how you arrive to see Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman in the light of these definitions. We had this controverse discussion when I was new in the Exotica list; I recieved my first flames when I wrote, I see Lyman as nothing more than an epigone of Denny. I corrected and modified my judgement later, but I still say that the basic idea for the Exotica sound is Denny's. So, if cheesy has anything to do with imitation, as in your definition, it can't be on Denny's side. I don't say Arthur Lyman's version of Exotica is cheap, just not breathtaking original. Compare to what Julius Wechter did after he left the Denny group: Baja Marimba Band.... If we talk about the interpretations of certain "classics", and wether they are near to Kitsch or "cheese", I would say: at least never cheesy. Some tunes of Denny are extremely "sweet", as titles like "Hypnotique" or "Kiss In A Shadow" (both on Hypnotique), and I'm sure, there are a lot of people, who would consider them as Kitsch. To me they never were. I would call these songs painfully beautiful. Maybe I'm just tougher in the way I can stand these emotions than other people. To me they are almost Blues. Deeply felt music. And masterfully played. And spiced with interesting unique sounds. Too much for you perhaps, "rich" and inventive to me. There's nothing like it in Lyman's repertoire. But that's not all what Martin Denny is about: Exotica 1/ Mono, is a different cup of tea: It's the rough, wild, primitive Denny, I really wish there were more records in this style. Maybe the Exotica movement became too elaborate too soon, but Arthur Lyman doesn't have a record like that (except that he played on it) and he certainly doesn't stand for keeping Exotica wild. Riding the bird call concept to death? Arthur Lyman is as guilty of that crime as Denny. But while Martin Denny was able to go into many other directions later, Arthur more or less stuck to the original Exotica idea. His thing are these lonesome calls ... "Bwana Hey"... lonely flute (he took them from Perez Prado's Voodoo Suite though), I really like those for their melancholic loneliness, but the rest of the credits go to Martin Denny. He's the more versatile. Much more. Just think of Hypnotique, the jazzy Exotica 3, Latin Village, A Taste Of India (with this Sitar version of "Hypnotique" and "Incense and Peppermints").... Denny himself has to give credits to Cal Tjader, who invented the kind of Jazz that we hear on Martin's first recordings. Mambo By Tjader is the album. But that did have neither bird calls nor chimes nor any other exotic instruments, just the basic jazz quartet sound. But this's getting too far now... Hey, as long as we can still talk about M.D. and A.L., this list cannot go under. Thanks anyway for having a different opinion, without which this entire exchange wouldn't have become possible!

Don't just use "cheezy" to conveniently point your feeling that Lyman is superior to Denny. You even mention Lyman's awful '60s cover versions which Denny never crassly launched into to the extent that Lyman did. And when Denny did with tunes like "Incense and Peppermints" he pulled it off with far greater panache than Lyman. While you may find "Tse Tse Fly" and "March Of the Siamese Children" as grating, I must direct this dabate with Lyman's really awful Sousa style marching band numbers. While Denny had his share of these he kept them far more in check and had fewer of them. And how can we forget Lyman's extremely cheezy decison to include a cover version of "Hava Negila" (a tune which Denny also recorded but showed more tasteful resrve not to release. To use your definition of cheezy, I believe Lyman is the clear winner in this fromage department. when Denny uses effects like bird calls etc. he is fully aware he is having a little fun with the music. It is a sly wink that you can have fairly sophisticated jazz combo arrangements and have some fun with it, have a knowing, sly wink to the audience knowing full well why you are throwing these effects in. Nothing Lyman ever did in the arrangement department ever matched what Denny did with "Quiet Village" or "Jungle Madness" and I will chime in with Mo's argument that Julius Wechter was furthermore a far superior arranger and songwriter to Lyman.

(AP) -- Gilbert Barclay Mustin, the president of Fleer Corp., one of the largest baseball trading card companies in the country and creator of Dubble Bubble chewing gum, died July 28 of pneumonia. He was 78. Mustin was the grandson of Frank Fleer, who founded Fleer in Philadelphia in the 1880s. The company made confections including Chiclets gum. Fleer is believed to have invented bubble gum in 1928. Company accountant Walter Diemer is often credited with accidentally inventing the product, which Fleer sold under the name Dubble Bubble. Mustin started at Fleer in 1949 and became its president in 1959. By then, the company was in stiff competition with Topps, makers of Bazooka bubble gum. Topps dominated the baseball trading card business because the Federal Trade Commission had upheld Topps' exclusive contracts with pro baseball players for the use of their pictures on cards packaged with the gum. Fleer, which had long sold trading cards of movie stars and other personalities with its gum, began a long antitrust suit against Topps in 1975. In 1983, the companies reached an out of court settlement that allowed Fleer to sell baseball cards but not with gum. Mustin retired in 1989, the year Fleer was sold to Marvel Entertainment. Fleer was sold again this year to a group of private investors and renamed Fleer Skybox of Mount Laurel, N.J. ----- MailStart Plus - http://www.mailstartplus.com Consolidate Your Mailboxes Into an Organized, Filtered, Spell-Checked, Anywhere, Anytime WebBox # 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: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) More finds Date: 03 Aug 1999 14:48:34 +0100 I forgot to mention that I found The Ray McVay Roadshow LP that I've been searching for for so long with that superb version of 2001 featured on the Further In Flight compilation and Bedazzled OST - another Harkit Records bootleg (although I'm not sure what else they've bootlegged, I just know I've got something else on their label).

When I was quite young I went to South America with a six-piece band and spent over four years there. As a result you can detect a lot of Latin rhythmic signatures in my music. If you take Hawaiian music alone, it lulls you to sleep--whereas Latin music has exciting rhythms; it has a BEAT! When I started my group I didn't limit myself to Hawaiian songs; I used popular tunes as well as the ones I'd composed. My group included piano (I'm the pianist), vibes, bass,drums, and Latin percussion. Everybody doubled on their instruments; the vibes person played marimba and bells (or whatever), and I leaned heavily on this interplay of percussion. Together we achieved the "Martin Denny sound," which was a blend of all these instruments. And the HOOK was these exotic bird calls. V: Who thought of that? MD: Well, I did--I put 'em in there. But it began quite accidentally. I opened at the Shell Bar in Henry J. Kaiser's Hawaiian Village in 1956. By this time we had four people including Arthur Lyman on vibes (later replaced by Julian Wechtler, who went on to form the Baja Marimba Band) and Augie Colon (who did the bird calls) on bongos and congas. The Hawaiian Village was a beautiful open-air tropical setting. There was a pond with some very large bullfrogs right next to the bandstand. One night we were playing a certain song and I could hear the frogs going [deep voice] "Rivet! Rivet! Rivet!" When we stopped playing, the frogs stopped croaking. I thought, "Hmm--is that a coincidence?" So a little while later I said, "Let's repeat that tune," and sure enough the frogs started croaking again. And as a gag, some of the guys started spontaneously doing these bird calls. Afterwards we all had a good laugh: Hey, that was fun!" But the following day one of the guests came up and said, "Mr. Denny, you know that song you did with the birds and the frogs? Can you do that again?" I said, "What are you talking about?" -- then it dawned on me he'd thought that was part of the arrangement. At our next rehearsal I said, "OK, fellas, how about if each one of you does a different bird call? I'll do the frog..." ... We played it the next night, and all evening people kept coming up and saying, "We want to hear the one with the frogs and the birds again!" We must have played that song THIRTY times. It turned out to be "Quiet Village." As a result of playing in that tropical setting, I began to incorporate instruments from the South Pacific and the Orient into our act. We'd build a different arrangement around each instrument, experimenting to give each tune a different feel. Gradually the sound evolved. After a year I was ready to do _Exotica_.... *** Elsewhere in the article, Denny describes the Hawaiian Village as "a big laboratory where I could experiment..." He praises every musican he worked with, including Arthur Lyman, and gives Les Baxter his due as composer of "Quiet Village." The interview and his records leave me with the impression that the performing Martin Denny was an adventurous, generous, and immensely talented musician who, yes, wanted very much to delight his audiences -- but perhaps even more he wanted to stretch his chops and those of his players, and take music where it hadn't been before. No question: some of Denny's stuff falls squarely into the cheese category. Yet I think through his hybrid musicianship and deep melodic and rhythmic senses, he transcended most of the kitsch content of his tunes. Won't take on the debate, Who's better: Lyman or Denny? Let the experts duke that out. Instead I'll savor how lucky accidents can sometimes lead to original art.

One of the problems that many have in discussing Denny is that they refer to comps put out by Ultra Lounge or Pair or any of the other half dozen Denny comps. It is my opinion that these comps don't really reflect the true Denny style. I feel one needs to listen carefully and closely to the first 10 or so albums that Denny did to get a true representation of what Denny was about. The problem is that many of the people interested in the world of Exotica like so many types of music loosely lumped in this category. They do not have the time (or take the time) to listen all the cuts from the albums mentioned above. Admittedly this is a timely (not to mention coslty) process and some just don't have the dedication to Denny to do it. And I can understand that. Admittedly, songs like Tse Tse Fly and Hawaiian Tattoo do have a campy nature to them, but this is no different for other "serious" performers of the time having a "fun" cut on their albums. This was more common 40 years ago than it is today because today's pop performers are all to serious about their music because it usually has some agenda. And how about all those birdcalls and animal noises? Denny happened on this by accident when an audience guest asked about the "song with the frog noises". The band had fun with this and incorporated it into the music because the people liked it -- not because they wanted to be funny (or if you will, cheesy). Denny's music, in the original time setting, sold millions of records based more on his composures and unique slants on Polynesian themes with jazzy styles --- not because it was cheesy. The public would have identified this early on and Quiet Village would have been a one hit wonder. Or think about it this way: people don't buy second, third and forth follow up albums based one an original album that was cheesy. Think of Elliot's Zounds! I love it and it is a great novelty but I would not then buy a second or third follow up. The fact that Denny sold so many follow up albums is testimony to his style not being cheesy. Oh well, just a few comments from anobviously died in the wool Denny fan. Like you couldn't guess which side I would be on.

Better take another listen. It's a cover alright, albeit twisted. Substitute the Residents' lyrics with the original ones and you'll find the rhythm--if not the melody--is identical.

Hey, we agree on something. We may not agree on cheese but we do on the Denny vs.Lyman question. It's reported that Lyman tried to take the Denny sound back to a more "jazz-based" sound. All I hear is a more polite, more stripped-down, simple version of Denny. Not in every record. There are some Lyman cuts that compare to Denny but only when he takes the Denny sound and tries to go further with it, not when he takes the sound and tries to strip it back. When he does that, all I hear is another cocktail jazz quartet. It's not just that he removes the bird calls. He takes out everything wild, eccentric, bastardized and inspired. Who needs Martin Denny "light"? I'm sure I'll get some disagreement here but I personally don't believe that the musicianship of either Denny or Lyman's band warranted a simple jazz quartet approach. Even when they emphasized the percussion. They simply weren't good enough to pull that off the way Cal Tjader and some of his bands could. Or even some of the latin-esque George Shearing records. Or Joe Loco for that matter. You have to be better than good to do next to nothing. Given the choice I'll almost always take the overly-arranged, bombastic, over-the-top stuff. Sometimes it's too much and I need the relief of a nicely arranged record by Nelson Riddle or Billy May but I always return to the less subtle stuff. In many cases - including much of Lyman - "subtle" is the nicest thing you can say. It's a case of damning with faint praise. I don't want to drag Esquivel into this too but I doubt his reputation would be what it is if it weren't for the "extra touches", the surprises, the unusual juxtapositions. "Five Corners of the World" - his piano record - is a fine record but if you're trying to convince someone of "the Esquivel thing" don't play this record first. Today I was listening to "Hawaii Tattoo" by the Waikikis. What a great crazy record. I don't need to hear another "straight" Hawaiian record. This however was something wholly other. And then there's the Three Suns. Play the tune straight or do it like "Danny's Inferno"? You choose. I have no conclusion.

Claudine had set out for the slopes, but then= changed her mind and went to the Center Bar, where she spent the afternoon sippin= g white wine. Around 4:00 she drove home where Spider, who had been skiing, returned a short while late= r. As Spider got ready for a shower and stripped down to his blue thermal under= wear, Claudine approached him with a .22-caliber imitation L=FCger pistol, which she later claimed to have c= ome across just that morning while putting away some sweaters. She was asking him ho= w to use it, how to protect herself and her children when he was away, when all of a sudden her finge= r slipped on the trigger and bang bang boom boom, a tragic accident. Or was= it? Not everyone bought Claudine's slippery-finger story. Some locals conside= red Claudine to be an intruder in Aspen, and a spoiled brat to boot. The coup= le's four-year relationship was said to be rocky, and Claudine's jealous episo= des in public had raised eyebrows around town. Claudine and her three children were getting to be too much for Spider, and he had supposedly given them = a deadline to find other accommodations. Claudine did have some supporters = in Aspen, like John and Annie Denver with whom she stayed the night after th= e shooting, but public sentiment ran largely against her. Like the sirens o= f mythology, Claudine was seen as an enchantress who had bewitched and then= doomed the hapless Spider. Claudine on trial revealed, if not the circumstances surrounding the shoo= ting, certainly the duplicity of her nature, and indeed the inherent contradict= ion and guile of the female animal at its most deadly. With mournful eyes and= choking back tears, a pale and trembling Claudine told the jury that "we were probably everything that a man and a woman should be to each other, we lo= ved each other so much. He was my best friend." Claudine saw herself as a victim, guilty only of mishandling a loaded gun. Contrast this with testimony of = the glass-hurling and ski-wielding Claudine, lashing out at Spider in public. Innocent and mercenary, sweet yet cunning, the prize and the curse. A detective who was with Claudine at the hospital that night claimed that= her initial story was that she had been joking with Spider, and just before t= he gun went off had said playfully, "Bang, bang. Boom, boom." At the trial, howe= ver, Claudine denied this and said she knew better than to play with a loaded = gun, her final words to Spider instead: "You are sure it won't fire?" Another = famous disputed quote was by ex-husband Andy, who had rushed to Claudine's side after the accident. He was overheard to have remarked, "She's always been= a reckless chick who drives too fast, skis too fast and takes too many risk= s." Andy on the witness stand spoke of Claudine as gentle and loving mother of their three children. A diary which had been illegally seized was not admitted into evidence, n= or were blood tests rumored to have shown traces of cocaine. The diary ignited a = hotbed of speculation outside the courtroom, however. Prosecutor and District Attorney Frank Tucker claimed= it could blow the lid off the case, as well as pull the covers down on a lon= g list of Hollywood heavyweights. After less than four hours of testimony and four hours of deliberation, t= he jury found Claudine Longet guilty only of criminal negligence. She was sentenc= ed to 30 days in jail and two years probation. Claudine chose not to appeal and served her time in April, 197= 7 in the Pitkin County jail. True to form, Claudine shortly thereafter became roma= ntically linked with her defense lawyer, Ron Austin. The diary was returned to Claudine, who threw it in t= he fire. http://users.deltanet.com/~gondola/longet/intro.html Mo # 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: Peter Risser Subject: (exotica) Mandigo Date: 04 Aug 1999 05:29:34 -0700 (PDT) I just got the LP re-release of Savage Rites (from Dusty Groove) and I gotta say, it kicks ass. Tons of furious percussion and funk layered by 7ts era cop funk driving melodies and flutes and brass and all that jazz. Is there any place local to the US to mail order these from? I didn't see them at Dusty Groove. Also, Dusty Groove has In Flight Entertainment at a whopping cut-out rate of 12 bucks for the CD. Totally Fab for anyone interested in the Sound Galleries or the Easy Projects, and a price that's tough to beat. CDNOw carries the others, but at 30 bucks a pop, so grab them while they're hot.

He's assuming that since he finds Esquivel cheezy and the Pow Pow Pow's and "ping pong clatter" goofy, the rest of the world must also find them cheezy and therefore only like them because they are "weird". I don't like music simply because it's weird. I like it because it appeals to me, and I've spent the majority of my adult life trying to figure out why, but sometimes, it just does. I think Esquivel rocks. Not because it's goofy or cheezy or it'll impress my friends or annoy my parents or because I can wear a fez or pray to a tiki to it. I just really really like it. Somewhere it strikes a chord. I honestly enjoy the music as much as I enjoy Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath or Kahimi Karie or L'Atome or Beethoven or Latin Playboys. It's all good music to me. So, that's fine you don't like Esquivel and Denny and find them silly. I find them eminently musical (with some exceptions. Nobody's perfect) and fantastic to listen to. Hence, the world continues turning and we share our opinions and learn. BTW, the cheeziest music I hear today is contemporary adult, modern "country", smooth jazz, or modern "R&B". All of that has that same slick sound that just drives me crazy and which I consder way over the top and just Cheezy.

Date: 04 Aug 1999 20:19:01 -0400 Just wanted to say hello to all on the list -- I was a subscriber, but dropped off in Oct. of last year. Good to be back. Recent purchases that I'm over the moon about: Mondo Morricone - Volumes 1 & 2 -- An excellent introduction to EM's 60's and 70's work. Painfully beautiful at times, the tracks on these two discs were chosen with such care. (Much, much better than the various DRG compilations!) Les Demoiselles de Rochefort - The NEW 2-CD remastered version that contains all of the music from the film, plus additional instrumental tracks. Great stuff... Le Meillieur de Michel Legrand -- Compilation of Legrand tracks, some well known, but several tracks come from rare 10" EPs he made in the 60's. "Di-gue-ding-ding" might be one of the coolest songs ever recorded. Le Foto Proibite di Una Signora Per Bene - OST by Morricone. Charles Wilp fotografiert Bunny - CD release of ultra-rare German LP from the 60's. Wilp, an artist and the advertising genius behind Afri-Cola, created this album for private distribution only. I could go on and on about this, but perhaps you should check out the following web site. It explains the whole story: http://weirdomusic.freeservers.com/wilp.html Hippie Goddesses - Not much in the liner notes, but this is an all female psych-rock-trip-out band from the 60's. Does anybody know anything else about this? Xaviera Hollander seems to be in the band. Lousy sound quality, but cool music. House of Loungecore - One of the many Sequel label compilations of loungy material. Has a great cover of Pinball Wizard by The Harry Roche Constellation (now THAT'S a cool name for a group!) Sorry if any or all of these have been discussed to death already. # 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: Re: (exotica) Re-Introduction & Recent Purchases...

So, here are my belated comments: 1. The web server was down here for a couple of days, but you should now be able to access them again on http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~petehip/ 2. I'm still compiling them; any more info always welcome. 3. Yes, Studio 2 releases are pretty diverse, including classical music, operetta, brass bands, military bands &c. And yes, a lot of the albums are dull. The "Sound Gallery" releases do indeed give a false impression -- in fact, a lot of the tracks on SG/SG2 are NOT from Studio 2 albums at all, but are from other EMI sources, including quite a few from the KPM library music label (now owned by EMI). 4. Nevertheless, there are over 500 of these LPs. It's easy enough to find umpteen albums by "Manuel and the Music of the Mountains" or "Pepe Jaramillo", which would lead you to conclude the series is almost entirely terminally dull muzak. It's not: keep digging. I'd agree you're more likely to find individual standout tracks than consistently great albums, but some of those tracks --- ! 5. Eventually I would like to add reviews etc. to these discographies, but it all depends on finding the time to do it. M.H.Jemmeson mentioned a couple of other UK labels, Decca Eclipse and Music for Pleasure. Decca Eclipse releases are, as far as I have seen, reissues of earlier Decca records (those dating from the 50s). This might account for them seeming more "relaxed" and "gentle" (although there are exceptions, such as Werner Muller's comparatively beserk "Wild Strings"). The cover art for the Eclipse releases is fairly nasty (naff photographs mostly) unlike original 50s Decca records, which often have fabulous cover art, usually drawings which easily make up for the banality of much of the music (bloody hard to find them though). Music for Pleasure is GREAT! Again, a lot of horrible relases but many class albums hidden away (a lot of re-releases too). Some really weird and wonderful stuff, such as "Curried Jazz" by The Indo-British Ensemble (wonderful Indo-Jazz fusion); "Beatles Bach and Bacharach Go Bossa" by Alan Moorhouse (one of my all-time favourite records); "Nursery Rhymes Tijuana Style" (Alan Moorhouse in disguise); "We Love Kenny" by Kenny Lynch; that album of some guy reading children's stories about an alien that comes to stay with his family, complete with weird voice FX, damn what's it called... As I see it, with pretty much any label, if you do enough panning eventually you'll strike gold. # 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: Peter Hipwell Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Western Swing Date: 05 Aug 1999 14:36:37 +0100 (BST) On Fri, 23 Jul 1999, Citizen Kafka wrote: > careful about calling ANYONE names!

In fact, I snatch up pretty much ALL the Romanian music I find (always on the state owned Electrecord label), because a lot of this stuff is WILD, in insane tempos with FURIOUS energy. My favourite such record is one by a cymbalon virtuoso called Toni Iordache (who also appears on at least one Zamfir record, IIRC), who plays INSANE stuff. Really makes me want to get up and dance! Ahem, sorry about all the random capitalisation there. I've also picked up other East European records, but found nothing that matches the brilliance of these Romanian artists. # 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: "Charles Moseley" Subject: Re: (exotica) Lalo Schifrin Date: 05 Aug 1999 14:38:06 +0100 That is the Bullitt soundtrack, The Main Title.

One of the first Deram releases. Covers of tunes such as "Strangers In The Night", "Downtown", "The Sound of Music", plus a couple of originals. Not a mindblowing experience, rather silly, but I like it a lot. "Music To Watch Girls By" -- Bob Crewe One of those I've been hoping to find for years. Expectations rode much higher than the record, but it's a nice enough collection, fairly polite and neatly arranged. "Blue Gene" -- Gene Pitney Has there ever been a discussion of Pitney on this list? This is really the first exposure I've ever had to him, and it really knocked me out. His version of "24 Hours To Tulsa" is fantastic; there's a track called "Half The Laughter Twice The Tears" which I played about 10 times in a row, I was so impressed, and basically, I'll be out there scooping up all the Pitney I'd previously ignored because I'd idiotically dismissed him as being probably some lame old Frank Ifield type out of completely unfounded prejudice. "The Bob Dylan Songbook" -- The Golden Gate Strings Arrangements by Brian Fahey, Johnny Scott, Tony Osborne et al. Very good ones, too (unlike the appaling "Strings For Pleasure" Dylan album). I'm particularly enamoured of the version of "Subterranean Homesick Blues". "It All Happens On Saturday Night" -- The Harry Stoneham Five I'd about given up buying H.S. albums, figuring I had enough of his hammond-noodling. But this one has a cover picture of him with Michael Parkinson, driving along in a power boat and sipping on scotch and soda, so I grabbed it. And it's fabulous. Non-medley for a start, has the "Parkinson" theme on it, cool versions of "The Odd Couple" and "As Time Goes By", and one driving, manic funky classic, "It All Happens On Saturday Night" which is bloody great. "Angels and 15 other original BBC TV themes" -- V/A Tracks such as Angels, Grandstand, Ski Sunday, Quiller, Holy Mackerel, The Rockford Files, On The Move, The Explorers... (got most of them already, but what the hell). Some others: "Colors" by Ken Nordine (issued in the UK by Philips), "Taboo" by Arthur Lyman, and "Big Band Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones, and most miraculous of all, a copy of the "Casino Royale" soundtrack (for 50p!). I'm really pleased to have these albums at last. # 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 h jemmeson Subject: Re: (exotica) Studio 2 Date: 05 Aug 1999 15:13:11 +0100 > 4.

Pepe Jaramillo does have some nice covers: one which is bright pink and red and pretty, err..., 'eye catching', another where he looks like a wax dummy.

She was 73. Ms. Alma was born Eleni Malioufa in Athens in 1926. She assumed a stage name and rose to fame as the partner of dancer Yannis Flery, with whom she moved to Paris in the late 1940s to work with French singing legends Edith Piaf, Yves Montand and Charles Aznavour. Ms. Alma was best known to Greek audiences for her appearances in dance sequences in Greek movies, styled on 1950s Hollywood musicals, and her 1979 marriage to actor Manos Katrakis, who died in 1984. SEARSMONT, Maine (AP) -- Rudy Burckhardt, a photographer, filmmaker and writer known for his portrayals of city life in New York, died Sunday at his summer home in Maine. He was 85. The Swiss-born Burckhardt, who emigrated to New York in 1935 and lived the rest of his life in Manhattan, drowned Sunday in a pond near his home. The death was ruled a suicide by Maine's chief medical examiner. The World War II veteran earned a reputation for his photographs of street subjects from the late 1930s to the 1950s. His camera captured people on subways and images of the city's vast skyline. His photographs are in permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. A film retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art honored him in 1987 for his 90-odd films using 16-millimeter film. Some were comedies, but many were what his widow, Yvonne Jacquette, calls ``film poems,'' with poems used as subtitles. Some featured New York dancers mixed in with shots of Maine, where he spent his summers painting. His memoirs include ``Mobile Homes'' in 1979 and ``Talking Pictures: The Photography of Rudy Burckhardt'' in 1994. ----- MailStart Plus - http://www.mailstartplus.com Consolidate Your Mailboxes Into an Organized, Filtered, Spell-Checked, Anywhere, Anytime WebBox # 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 h jemmeson Subject: Re: (exotica) Studio 2 Date: 05 Aug 1999 17:00:02 +0100 > > A fair amount of the stuff on Studio 2 and MFP is Geoff Love in various > > guises. > > Geoff Love was Manuel [...] Well, that's about half of them it seems, if only by sales figures...

I've some tapes somewhere I made of computer game 'music' from old 80s BBC B games. In many you could turn the sound effects off and just leave the 3 or 4 channel music. The hard part was not dying for a few minutes to get a reasonable length section.

Police said he shot and killed a policeman by a roadblock south of Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, on Aug. 3 before being shot dead by the officer's partner. Local media said Mr. Ansell, once named Territorian of the Year, was the role model for Paul Hogan's knife-slinging outback hero Crocodile Dundee. Ken Shadie, who wrote "Crocodile Dundee" with Hogan and John Cornell, had seen a television interview with Ansell by British journalist Michael Parkinson. That interview fired Hogan's imagination about a bushman superstar that led to the making of the first Dundee film. Police could not explain Mr. Ansell's action, but said he might have been involved in a shooting incident on Monday night after which the roadblock was set up on the lonely Stuart Highway. Assistant Commissioner John Daulby told reporters Mr. Ansell could easily have evaded the roadblock but instead shot at a policeman from behind some bushes. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Seely will share his grandfather's exclusive recipes at David Berkley's in Pavilions amid 12-foot tall Tiki statues and a huge dugout canoe that once graced the South Seas-style interior of one of the Trader's original restaurants. Twenty restaurants operate throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, while seven more are under construction. The original Trader Vic's restaurant opened in Oakland in 1934. The Trader invented the Mai Tai there in 1944 and introduced it throughout the Hawaiian Islands via the Matson Steamship Lines in the 1950s. David Berkley Fine Wines and Specialty Foods is Northern California's hallmark purveyor of beautiful things to eat and drink. Both hot and cold meals prepared Trader Vic's-style by David Berkley's chef Matt Woolston and his staff will be available for purchase and take-out at this Polynesian Party, along with a connoisseur's collection of products.

I like it because it >appeals to me, and I've spent the majority of my adult life trying to >figure out why, but sometimes, it just does. I think about what I watch and listen to and come up with theories as to why one thing is better than another. None of these ideas are cast in stone. My theories evolve and refine as time goes by, but for me, having an idea of *why* I like something is useful for using as a yardstick to determine what *else* I might like. I pay attention to music, and don't use it as a pass-time or to set a background mood. I consciously listen and analyze what I hear. When I come up with an opinion based on the listening I may be wrong, but at least I have an operating theory. Interestingly enough, after I posted, I received private email from one person who admitted that he also preferred Lyman to Denny and another who said he found Esquivel to be gimmmicky as well, so I guess I am not altogether alone on this. Some music wears better than others. When I first heard Denny and Esquivel years ago, I initially liked it because it was so different from what I had heard before. As I heard more in similar genres I became more interested in the musicality and less interested in the novelty value. I really don't dislike either of them, I just don't listen to them as much as some other people working in the same vein. The post that mentioned that Lyman is thought to be more "jazzy" and less elaborate than Denny clarified for me one of the main reasons I like him. Lyman's music sounds much more spontaneous and the jazz phrasing is quite inspired. There isn't the sound of over-rehersal or over-arrangement in his stuff. It sounds more like a band jamming and bouncing riffs off of each other. Lyman did go downhill later on... everyone does. The first few of everything are always the best I guess. (That's another theory there!) >BTW, the cheeziest music I hear today is contemporary adult, >modern "country", smooth jazz, or modern "R&B". I would widen that to include just about any music that falls under the categories of "current" or "contemporary". (...yet another theory!) We live in the golden age of cheeze.

It took me a while to get into piano records and Nero is one of the people I've grown to appreciate. Where I find boredom and classical attitudes in Roger Williams and Liberace, Nero on the other hand carefully skirts this and has a nice up tempo touch, and the four albums that I have a fairly listenable and each has at least a couple of fun tunes. Most albums are produced by Marty Gold, which although being no guarantee, its can be an assurance of a certain "square hipness". Am I giving the impression that this guy is not to be written off but also not to be too excited about? Good that's what I was aiming for. BTW I'm excluding the previously mentioned album from my description since I am neither a fan of "Hair" or the moog.

Am I missing anything? He has at least one "later" record with late sixties and early seventies tunes that I kind of like. Can't remember the name of it but the cover is very "Now Sound" looking. But you probably wouldn't like it enough to give it much thought. I'm sure there are exceptions but at this point I pretty well don't dismiss anyone in the "easy listening" genre. Ever since someone played me a couple of wacky and beautiful Roger Williams cuts, I've tried to keep an open-ish mind. You can basically ignore Peter Duchin but I have one record - "Comin Home Baby" - which is his version of funky jazz fusion and it works. In its way. And there are certainly A LOT of Werner Muller and Klaus Wunderlich records that bear ignoring. But not all. The first five or six Stanley Black records I heard were dreary string things. And the list goes on. Kostelanatz, Percy Faith, even Lawrence Welk. I've heard all of them used in DJ sets to great effect. One of the "reasons" you can't ignore most of them lies in their obvious need to appeal to every market they could identify. In their zeal to cross over, occasionally they stumbled across ideas that, at least in retrospect, are brilliant. Then again, if one or two great cuts isn't enough for you, then you can ignore a few more artists. I do pick up Andy Williams records by the way. All the time. Again, mostly late sixties and early seventies. His version of "God Only Knows" is lovely and his style is perfect for numbers like Carole King's "It's too late". And then there are his occasional duets with his slippery-fingered wife Claudine. He's no Jack Jones but he had a lovely voice and good arrangers and if you like the tune, you'll probably like his version. As far as Streisand goes, uh, she has a great voice but I do avoid her records. We all draw our own lines and then erase a few.

"It hurts to be in love". There was no connection between his bombastic style and pretty well everything else I loved in those days but I loved it anyway. I still buy his stuff when I see it and keep discovering new gems. "Last Chance to turn around" which was the last cut on the greatest hits but somehow I missed it all those years. "Last two people on earth". (With his style, "last" seems to fit.) And a Jagger-Richards tune I must have missed. "The Girl Belongs to Yesterday" Somehow I think Pitney is one of the connections to the kind of stuff I love now. I could even make another Scott Walker analogy but I won't.

The pick of the lot is Andre Brasseur's "Tasty", simply because of the truly outstanding "Mad Train" (fantastic hammond + drums).

Interested to read of recent list members' vinyl discoveries. I too have "Beatles go Bossa" (25p) and "Sounds of Sitar" (one whole English pound) with its' sitarrrrrrised version of "Eleanor Rigby" or some such. Mmmm. Nice. Or how about "How to pass your driving test" on UK Decca from about 1965 (also one pound) which is entirely spoken instructions on that very thing!! It's a hoot. The sleeve says the LP was to be the first in a series of useful everyday instructional releases. I'd love to know what were the others. "How To Go To The Corner Shop" perhaps? meanwhile someone said: "Ray McVay is generally crap but on this occasion, he excels himself with an amazing track (and a very dodgy photo on the back cover). The rest of the lp is pants of course." I absolutely agree - far too many "Ray Plays Ballroom Greats" LPs which your Aunt Dolly might have purchased in Woolies c.1972 (hm, my Aunt Dolly would have done it for nothing). But Ray did in the mid-60s record at least two KILLER Swingin London/Carnaby St music 45s for UK Pye, "Revenge" (yes the Kinks song) and "Kinda Kinky" both of which appear on that Sequel compo of a few yrs back, "The Easy Project".

He was 50. Marion was a founding member of the San Francisco Bay Area's Magic Theater, which became known for its presentation of cutting-edge playwrights like Sam Shepard. Marion played Pharmacist's Mate Williams on the 1977-79 ABC-TV series ``Operation Petticoat,'' a comedy set on a submarine in World War II. He later directed episodes of the 1989-92 ABC comedy ``Anything but Love'' and the CBS show ``Everybody Loves Raymond.'' He died three days before ``Everybody Loves Raymond'' was nominated for a comedy series Emmy Award. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Gene Weed, a producer and director of television specials and awards shows for more than 25 years, died Thursday of cancer. Weed was 64. Weed's varied entertainment career included 15 years as a top radio disc jockey, host of the 1960s syndicated television show ``Shivaree,'' seven years as board chairman of The Academy of Country Music and a recent election as president of that organization. He was a pioneer in the field of what has become music videos, producing and directing more than 200 films of performances by artists including Glen Campbell, The Fifth Dimension, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Debby Boone. Weed joined dick clark productions inc. in the 1970s, and became its senior vice president for television. Beginning in 1974 he produced, directed or performed both roles for several annual television shows including the ``Golden Globe Awards'' and ``The Academy of Country Music Awards.'' He also was producer-director of the ``Hot Country Nights'' series on NBC 1991-92 and its revival in 1994-95 on The Nashville Network. Weed produced or directed dozens of television specials including the three-hour ``Live Aid'' concert on ABC, Live Aid III and IV, and a 90-minute special preceding the 1994 World Cup soccer tournament, viewed by an estimated 750 million people around the world. ----- MailStart Plus - http://www.mailstartplus.com Consolidate Your Mailboxes Into an Organized, Filtered, Spell-Checked, Anywhere, Anytime WebBox # 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: Jane Fondle Subject: (exotica) I DON'T WANNA LEAVE THE CONGO!

Date: 06 Aug 1999 15:54:49 -0500 First off, a news item: Discovery Channel to cover eclipse NEW YORK (AP) - The Discovery Channel is planning three hours of live television coverage next Wednesday of something mom warned you never to look at directly - a solar eclipse. The cable channel's cameras will follow the 60-mile wide path where the sun is totally obscured by the moon, from its start in southern England, through France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania to the Middle East and its conclusion in India. It's the most extensive live coverage of any event in Discovery's 15-year history and, the network believes, the first time TV has followed an eclipse in such detail. Eclipse coverage will run from 6 to 9 a.m. ET, with an hour-long wrapup that night at 10 p.m. "Human beings have always been totally enthralled by eclipses," said Discovery general manager Mike Quattrone. "But if you wanted to see an eclipse, you had to be geographically lucky." People shouldn't stare at the sun because there's a risk of eye damage, but cameras can safely capture an eclipse. Discovery will do more than beam three hours of the sun. It will explain the science behind the eclipse and show how people in each country react to it. The network hopes to climax its coverage with an arresting image of the eclipse over the Taj Mahal. Discovery will pull its coverage together with the help of Discovery Europe and a dozen European TV affiliates. British broadcaster Mary Nightingale will be the host. The last total solar eclipse in the mainland United States took place in 1979. Discovery has time to make plans for the next one - it won't occur until Aug. 21, 2017. ===================================================================== OK, so the live eclipse coverage will occur way early in the day in the US. But, if someone were to tape the coverage so that he or she could watch it later that night (with a cold adult beverage or 2 in hand) and wanted to turn the TV sound off and have something appropriate playing in the background instead, what tunes would you suggest for the "soundtrack"? -Indy Rutks (rutks002@tc.umn.edu) # 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: Hugh Petfield Subject: Re: (exotica) Music to watch eclipses by?

It's particularly dangerous when there's a total eclipse, as during the period of total darkness, the eye adjusts to the lower light level. When the sun's rays reappear they can damage the back of the eye before the eye can respond. Drug takers are particularly at risk as their pupils may be significantly dilated. This subject has been discussed on talk radio in the UK, and there are quite a number of people who will be NOT looking at the sun, indeed, going to great lengths to avoid it, fearing a situation as in 'The day of the Triffids', where people were blinded wholesale by some astronomical situation.

But you should not look directly at the sun for a long period of time either. Brief moments of viewing an eclipse will not affect the normal human eye. Rationally, there is less of the sun's rays reaching the eye when some heavenly body is "eclipsing" it. The problem is that people just tend to look at the sun during an eclipse because it is something unusual to see. Pupil size is really inconsequential. If anything, the pupil will constrict according to the amount of available light and the eclipse will not trick the eye into dilating more that it would if you walked under the shade of a tree. Even if it did, the difference in the square area of an adult pupil fully constricted vs. dilated is minimally different. It is more substantial in younger folks but still not a problem. The effects on pupil size by nearly all medications is minimal except for a few rare oral meds or eye drops used to dilate the eyes (such as phenylepherine, atropine, homatropine -- and those are prescribed very infrequently). Also, the pupil reacts by constricting to available light. If the sun is partially eclipsed the eye detects such and dilates accordingly (not necessarily deleteriously). Pupil reaction times are quick (less that half second) so the eye will not be real dilated for any significant period of time once the sun comes back to full brightness. You often see the sunglass folks argue the same point. They say cheap sunglasses hurt your eyes because they allow your eyes to dilate and more harmful rays hit the retina. This just is not true. The rays never reach the retina. There are problems with staring at the sun for long periods of time and this is documented in drug abusers who stare at the sun. The damage to the central retinal area (called the macula) is more of a thermal nature (think of burning an ant with a magnifying glass) as opposed to damage from UVA, UVB or infrared radiation. The cornea and lens of the eye do a nice (evolutionary) job of filtering out 99% of those damaging rays. Sorry to be so opinionated here but these "scare" stories have always bugged me. Now don't go staring at an eclipse, but momentary glances will not cause any measurable damage.

Similar to Wind Sky and Diamonds with Gabor > Szabo? Thanks for any help! > > Tom Scott & The California Dreamers -- Honeysuckle Breeze > Impulse (Japan), 1967/1998 I am a big fan of the California Dreamers and I found this album after being totally enamored by "Wind, Sky and Diamonds" and it was a little bit of a let down. So I'm not sure if for me the album suffers from expectations or if it's really not too great. I suspect a little of both. There is a great version of Mellow Yellow but the rest of the songs don't really catch my ear. The California Dreamers are pretty wonderful but I have to say I can't stand Scott's sax playing, and since it's his album, he really dominates. I don't know exactly what it is, because I can deal with other similar sounding saxophonists such as Bud Shank, or Benny Golson in their NowSound outings but Scott's playing just sounds like fingernails on the chalk board to me. Yes it has some sitar etc. but the arrangements just don't cut it, Scott does too much "jazz" soloing causing me to wrinkle up my nose and shake my head. It's like the album can't decide if it's going to be a nowsound or a pop jazz album and consequently fails at both. I should mention that I'm a sax player and so my harsh judgment of Scott may stem from his style being the polar opposite of mine.

Been buried deep in TCM's Summer of Darkness 40's-50's film noir festival (25 down, 65 to go)and loving almost every minute of it. (Anybody else watchin?) Noticed Sandy Warner credited as a showgirl in Nicholas Ray's 1958 "Party Girl," her only listing in IMDB. Assuming its Martin Denny LP cover girl, but its hard to pick her out of the chorus line. She was a chameleon anyway on the Denny covers. Cyd Charisse does a fine exotica dance number toward the end. 2. Though we might be interested in a quote from 1945's "Detour,", which brings to mind the power of music that was discussed in that long Bacharach article a few months back: "That tune, that tune. Why was it always that rotten tune, following me around, beating in my head, never letting up. Did you ever want to forget anything? Did you ever want to cut away a piece of your memory, or blot it out? You can't you know, no matter how hard you try! You can change the scenery, but sooner or later you'll get a whiff of perfume, or somebody will say a certain phrase or maybe hum something - then you're licked again!!!" Above spoken by the protagonist, former pianist at NYC's Break of Dawn Club, and the song was "I Can't Believe That You're in Love With Me." This rough gem was on TCM last month and will be on A&E in the wee hours Sat & Sun nights this weekend. Don't miss Vera, the femme fatale from hell that shows up midway! A real cojone cracker. 3. I'll talk about the music highlights another time. Its like a course in film scoring, from the old masters like Waxman & Steiner to the usual suspects like Elmer Bernstein to some surprises like the crime-jazzy then-commoner Sir Andre Previn. Lots of cocktail lounge mambo music and so many cigarettes my home smoke alarm goes off. 4. Finally, the sultry sirens & femme fatales are rockin my world: my new goddess Audrey Totter (Va-Va-Va Voom!), Ann Savage, Gloria Grahame, Carolyn Jones, Lizabeth Scott, Anne "Honey West" Francis, Ida Lupino and Lana and Joan and on and on. (Bob Mitchum & Robert Taylor are around for Jane & Jill.) Damn, Ted Turner is puttin on some bad ass shit. www.hollywoodpinup.com has classic studio portraits of some the above.

Seely will share his grandfather's exclusive recipes at David Berkley's in Pavilions amid 12-foot tall Tiki statues and a huge dugout canoe that once graced the South Seas-style interior of one of the Trader's original restaurants. Twenty restaurants operate throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, while seven more are under construction. The original Trader Vic's restaurant opened in Oakland in 1934. The Trader invented the Mai Tai there in 1944 and introduced it throughout the Hawaiian Islands via the Matson Steamship Lines in the 1950s. David Berkley Fine Wines and Specialty Foods is Northern California's hallmark purveyor of beautiful things to eat and drink. Both hot and cold meals prepared Trader Vic's-style by David Berkley's chef Matt Woolston and his staff will be available for purchase and take-out at this Polynesian Party, along with a connoisseur's collection of products. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit River Oak Center for Children.

The last time an eclipse came through the Northern Virginia area, I was able to look directly at it, without using sunglasses, and experienced no problems at all. The reason why was there was a thin layer of clouds overhead - thick enough to block most of the direct sun rays, but thin enough where you could still see the shape of the sun while it was partly obscurred by the moon. It was just the right amount of clouds where I could stare directly for a minute or so and expereince no discomfort of any kind.

JB LeNoir, I rather like that, although I hope your voice is deeper! TCM is certainly beating AMC at it's own (and first!) game in the Hitchcock department.

It's like the >album can't decide if it's going to be a nowsound or a pop jazz album and >consequently fails at both. My only contact so far with the California Dreamers is on Bob Thiele's "Light my Fire" record and Scott is fairly subdued on that one. It's pretty much Gabor Szabo who is all over that record. Still, I think I can relate anyway. I can imagine a player like Scott ruining a record for me. David Sanborn too for that matter. But I don't think it's about Now Sound vs Pop Jazz or any other categories you can come up with. I don't think the guys who made these records could EVER decide what kind of record they were making and yet some of them "worked". The Bud Shank now-sound-pop-jazz records don't ever settle in one particular genre or category but they work anyway. I think it has a lot to do with how he "solos", and how his solos fit into the arrangements while still fulfilling the idea of soloing. I think it's also got to do with his tone and how it fits in with the rest of the band. Do you know the Bob Shad record where they do "Whole Lotta Love"? That's another one of those crossover "nowsoundpopjazz" records that doesn't work for me. For a number of reasons including the tone of one of the guitar players. But I kind of like it. And though I like the Bob Thiele record much more, I still have to admit that it's a bit of a mess. Tom Scott was probably the same age as rock musicians of the time but I just don't think he "got" it. Most musicians who got into the crossover now sound thing didn't get it either but some of them stumbled across something cool anyway. I suppose Tom thought that he could ape the guitar players of the time by blowing his brains out through his horn. He was wrong. If he was lucky he might have been wrong in a cool way but that didn't happen.

To be fair to AMC, they do also have "Stage Fright" and "The Wrong Man" next Friday night. I'll give 'em residual bonus points for that letterbox airing of "Vertigo" a year or two ago. I forget the details, but one of these new-fangled cable channels is doing a marathon of the entire "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" TV series. Anyone have the skinny? Also to their credit, AMC has quietly been running a lot of Vincent Price movies recently... even the Dr. Phibes pair. Some of the AIP flicks have music by Les Baxter.

Kathryn Murray (dance instructor) Date: 08 Aug 1999 16:44:27 -0400 HONOLULU, Hawaii=97Kathryn Murray, 92, whose elegant dancing inspired millions of students in dance schools run by her late husband, famed instructor Arthur Murray, died Aug. 6 at her home here. The cause of death was not reported. The Murrays made ballroom dancing a household word by creating a chain of successful dance studios across the United States in the 1940s. At its peak in 1952, when Arthur Murray sold the franchise, there were 500 studios around the world. Currently, there are 275 worldwide. Arthur Murray died in Honolulu in 1991, a month shy of what would have been the couple's 66th wedding anniversary. They met during a radio broadcast in Newark in 1924. Kathryn Murray served as host for the popular television show, "The Arthur Murray Dance Party," which first aired in 1950 and ran for 11 years on a variety of networks. "She was always elegant," said Richard Murphy, owner of the only Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Hawaii. "I think for millions of people who have learned to dance -- not only in the United States, but around the world -- when you think of dance instruction, you think of the Arthur Murray name. And Kathryn was synonymous with Arthur." The Murrays were full-time Hawaii residents since 1968. Survivors include twin daughters, Phyllis McDowell of New Haven, Conn., and Jane Heimlich of Cincinnati, whose husband, Henry Heimlich, discovered the emergency maneuver to dislodge an object stuck in the windpipe. # 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: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: Gabor Szabo "Wind, Sky and Diamonds" Date: 08 Aug 1999 19:21:10 +0200 Bob wrote: > >CD Now is selling an import called "Wind, Sky and Diamonds" for $13.99.

The California Dreamers are the stars of this album and this is the reason why this album is so great. 'Course you gotta love that pop vocal group sound. As mentioned in previous months the CDs went on to be The Love Generation and then The Partridge Family. ( I can't believe this group has been mentioned far too often on this list. It's beginning to get scary, in a good way.) Gabor's playing is great it's just not as prevalent as his other albums.

Now my father is suffering from macular degeneration. Yikes! I better be nice to my kids, so they won't ignore me when I'm old and blind. >> So you want to hear a diatribe on this one??? Macular degeneration is not, at this point, related to sun (or radiation) exposure. Remember, the cornea and lens of the eye do an excellent job of filtering out 99% of UVA, UVB and IR radiation. Macular degeneration appears to be age related and not relate to heredity make up (at least familial genetics). It is most common in light skinned races and is probably related to over all antioxidant v. oxygen radical history. In other words, it pays to lead a clean life. In the process, the retinal pigmented epithelium becomes "sick" and the melanin is discarded from the inside of the cells. This melanin now is in the interstitial fluid and causes a barrier to normal cell function. Regardless of what you read, there is no real effective treatment for this condition. New surgical procedures are really doing nothing on a gross basis. There are those in the research and lecture circuit that recommend taking multivitamins to prevent SMD (senile macular degeneration) down the road. Most think that you need to start this in your 30's to prevent the problem in you 60's. We used to give SMD patients a vitamin high in antioxidants (like Ocuvite) but most agree that this is too little to late and probably not worth the effort. Anyway, your point about staring at the sun for long periods of time bolsters my argument that looking that the sun briefly during an eclipse will not cause long term damage to the retina. tiki bob (still in eye mode) # 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) the wildest Ukulele in town Date: 08 Aug 1999 21:32:29 EDT King Kukulele MC and perform at Al's Bar 2nd Tuesday Cabaret King opens the show and performs briefly between acts Live webcast at www.alsbar.net or see it in REAL life at 303 South Hewitt, Los Angeles Tues, Aug 10 9:30 FREE Also see his Exotica quartet King Kukulele & The Freaky Tikis perform in a rare live appearance and an even rarer FREE live performance Saturday , Aug 14 9:30 pm Taix 1911 Sunset Blvd, Echo Park King Kukulele performs for a solid two hours for FREE The Hub Cafe 124 East Commonwealth, Fullerton, CA Wed, Aug 18 (and every other Wednesday since 1996) 10 pm This is the longest running show in Fullerton King is often referred to as "The Roy Smeck of Fullerton" in addition to these shows King Kukulele and the Freaky Tikis will be bringing their act to the Bay area for Tiki News' Bongos by the Bay starring 60s legend Preston Epps on Sat Sept 18 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This mailing list is brought to you by Slick.ORG at http://www.slick.org to remove yourself from the list, send e-mail to majordomo@slick.org and include the words "unsubscribe tikievents" in the message (not in the subject).

She was 64. Sakellariou got her first performing break at a nightclub in a run-down quarter of the port. She was quickly noticed by leading Greek songwriters, who made her a household name in popular music. Papandreou, who became premier in 1981 after years of political turmoil in Greece, spoke of his admiration for Sakellariou and was photographed dancing at her performances. Known for her sorrowful ballads and extravagant dress, Sakellariou recorded more than 30 albums. TOKYO (AP) -- Kazuo Miyagawa, cinematographer for ``Rashomon'' and other Japanese film classics, died today of kidney failure. He was 91. Miyagawa's technique is characterized by balanced composition and unobtrusive camera handling. His hand-held camera work in ``Tokyo Olympiad,'' directed by Kon Ichikawa in 1965, established new methods for making documentary films. The Kyoto native joined Japan's major film production company, Nikkatsu Corp., in 1926 after graduating from Kyoto Commercial School. In 1950, he filmed the award-winning ``Rashomon,'' directed by the late Akira Kurosawa. Three years later, he filmed another classic, ``Ugetsu,'' with late director Kenji Mizoguchi.

The Berkeley native was an avid collector of the band's tapes during the 1960s and 1970s. By the early 1980s, he was known as an amateur expert and was eventually hired by the band as its archivist.

Subject: (exotica) Fantastic Plastic Machine Date: 09 Aug 1999 20:19:17 +0200 I guess it also owed to the subtropic temperatures and the incredibly enthusiastic Spanish audience, but the gig of Tanaka aka Fantastic Plastic Machine was the best live experience I have had this year. When many at the mediterranean Benicassim-open air were sick from all the Rock all the time by the likes of Suede, Charlatans and even Blur, he fired a broadside of electronic dancefloor hammers just in the right moment and with amazing impact. Pure excitement. For the first half hour of his gig he was god. DJing at its best! His secret? "Cheesy" melodies - not always but every once in a while. Makes you smile. As for our own gig I can only say, it was so hot, I almost fainted in my bear-costume and Andreas Dorau, the singer, had a break-down after the concert. The organizer of the festival, some called him the Godfather, personally apologized to him for the weather... that's what I call megalomania!

Date: 09 Aug 1999 18:23:21 -0400 I think Mr. Manilow likes to screw with people's heads in his interviews. I read one several years ago where he was raving about Tom Waits, and wishing he could sing like Tom. Which may give *us* mixed reactions, but imagine the straight-ahead, mainstream Manilow fan who reads the interview and says, "Oooo, Barry likes this -- I'll go buy it!" Or perhaps Manilow genuinely has hip tastes as a listener... but when it comes to his own career he knows upon which side of his bread the butter (or non-dairy substitute) is applied. I just remembered... a relative of mine works with a woman who has an over-the-top Manilow obsession. She claims that she's Barry's wife and uses her vacations for stalking excursions.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said Shatner had arrived at his home at about 10 p.m. PDT Monday night and found his wife, Nerine Kidd, unconscious in the swimming pool. ``He pulled her from the pool and called 911. He listened to the 911 operator's instructions and tried to perform CPR but he was unsuccessful,'' the spokesman, who identified himself as Officer Rhone, said in a telephone interview. ``The paramedics arrived at the scene and she was pronounced dead,'' he said. Rhone said there was no further information about the death and that an investigation was ongoing. Shatner, 68, is best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in the 1960s ``Star Trek'' television series. Kidd, 40, was Shatner's third wife. === "It's just my nature to do weird stuff." - Les Baxter Astroslut website: cuming soon! _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

(AP) -- John Dortch ``Booty'' Lewis Sr., a Goldsboro insurance executive whose World War II exploits were chronicled in part in the movie ``The Great Escape,'' died Sunday of pancreatic cancer. He was 84. Well before the United States entered World War II, Lewis joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and flew fabric-covered Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during Great Britain's darkest days of the conflict. Wounded and with his plane badly damaged on a mission over France, Lewis managed to get the aircraft back across the English Channel and crashed in the British countryside. Grounded by the RCAF because of extensive injuries, Lewis transferred to the U.S. Air Force. Later, leading a flight of P-39 Bell Airacobra fighters, he was shot down in North Africa and captured after eluding German troops in the desert for almost two weeks. He spent most of the next two years in Germany's Stalag Luft III. That was the prison camp from which prisoners of war tunneled to freedom in an escape later to be made into a movie, ``The Great Escape,'' starring Steve McQueen. Many of the exploits portrayed by McQueen were based on escape attempts and other activities by Lewis. RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif. (AP) -- Victor Mature, the brawny star of the 1940s and '50s who played Samson in ``Samson and Delilah'' and Doc Holliday in John Ford's ``My Darling Clementine,'' died Wednesday of cancer. He was 86. Tall, dark-haired and muscular, with heavy-lidded eyes and a full mouth, Mature earned the nickname ``beautiful hunk of man'' in films like ``One Million B.C.'' and ``Song of the Islands.'' While first making his name as a glamour-boy star with a devil-may-care attitude, he gradually gained more critical respect in the late 1940s in such films as ``Cry of the City'' and ``Kiss of Death.'' He appeared in musicals, Westerns, comedies, historical epics and melodramas. In ``My Darling Clementine,'' 1946, he was Doc Holliday to Henry Fonda's Wyatt Earp. The version of the fabled gunfight at the O.K. Corral is considered one of Ford's greatest films. Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 telling of the saga of Samson and Delilah cast Mature and Hedy Lamarr in the title roles. It was a smash hit. Among Mature's other films: ``The Shanghai Gesture,'' 1941, directed by Josef von Sternberg; ``My Gal Sal,'' 1942, with Rita Hayworth; ``I Wake Up Screaming,'' 1941, with Betty Grable; ``Wabash Avenue,'' 1950, again with Miss Grable; ``The Robe,'' 1953, as the slave Demetrius; a sequel, ``Demetrius and the Gladiators, 1954; and ``Chief Crazy Horse,'' 1954, with Mature in the title role. CARNIE WILSON'S OBESITY SURGERY IS LIVE ON-LINE By CATHY BURKE NY Post 10 AUG 99 ---------------------------------------------------- Singer and ex-gab show hostess Carnie Wilson, who's battled obesity all her life, is doing something drastic about it today - live on the 'Net. In a procedure most people would find tough to stomach, Beach Boy Brian Wilson's 31-year-old daughter will go under the knife at 3 p.m. for a gastric bypass. On-line voyeurs can see it at http://www.adoctorinyourhouse.com. Wielding the scalpel on the former vocalist with the trio Wilson Phillips will be Dr. Alan Wittgrove, a specialist in the procedure. Doctors in New York yesterday applauded Wilson's courage in going public with her surgical battle of the bulge, and said the procedure, which has been done for over 10 years, has helped thousands of others. "It's important for people to be aware of this [procedure] as a valid treatment for the seriously obese patient," said Dr. Louis Aronne, medical director of the New York Presbyterian Center for Obesity Surgery. "Though it's not a miracle cure, there's evidence to support it as a reasonable treatment." The gastric bypass, to be performed in San Diego, will reduce Wilson's stomach to about the size of a thumb, and then attach it directly to the small intestine. As a result, Wilson won't be able to stomach the amount of food she used to eat. In addition, the food she eats will be expelled before it's fully digested. "The reason the surgery works is that it is forced behavior modification that goes everywhere with the patient," said Dr. Mitchell Roslin at the Maimonides Center for Obesity Surgery in Brooklyn. Aronne said most people lose an average of 60 percent of their excess body weight after the procedure. That means that if someone weighed 300 pounds, they'd lose 90 pounds. The hefty songbird - who's never revealed her actual weight - wasn't commenting about her decision to have the surgery on the information highway. But she has spoken often, and emotionally, about her weight problem. "I'm fat. I'm a big girl," she said in a 1996 interview with "Radiance" magazine. "It's my feelings about myself that I think about. I feel attractive, I present myself well ... That image has been good for heavy people. I'm proud of that. I feel like a spokesperson for heavier women." She also has said her size has been a source of blatant discrimination, including a time in 1993 when a kid asked his father, "Why is she so fat?" "It took me right back to my childhood and being teased, of thinking I was no good," she recalled. ----- MailStart Plus - http://www.mailstartplus.com Consolidate Your Mailboxes Into an Organized, Filtered, Spell-Checked, Anywhere, Anytime WebBox # 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) Barry Gray Interview Date: 10 Aug 1999 11:55:30 -0400 Composer of some of my favorite TV Themes, The Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray, UFO, Space 1999 (2nd season.

Beefhearts were OK, Quinns were bearable. Beefheart did the artwork for the incredibly rare LAFMS Blorp-Essete comps. There's a CD reissue out now which I hope will have the artwork included. My copy's on order but check it out at Forced Exposure. Now that we're on the subject I can't help but think back to another entertainer gone artist, Red Skelton, and those f***ing clowns of his! To this day I can't forget seeing no end of them them in just about every high end tourist trap art gallery in Hawaii and I'm sure every other like resort. Talk about too much of a good thing... My personal favourite in this particular class (aside from Moritz R of course!) is Gary Panter whose art and music are both equally bizarre. I think Tom Recchion of LAFMS fame fits in the same category. I'm not sure in all case thought if the music came before the art or vice versa.

It also works the other way around...painters and other visual artists producing music (or at least producing records as sometimes the end result is less than musical). I have a particular fondness for the lps of Joseph Beuys and the artists improv group "Selten Gehorte Musik" which features performances by Dieter Roth, Gerhard Ruhm, Oswald Wiener, Hermann Nitsch and Gunter Brus etc.. The music on these lps is very odd indeed. Special mention should go to a phenomenal compilation lp called "Fluxus Anthology" released by Recorthings in Italy. Highlights include Ben Vautier's "Some Ideas for Fluxus" and Beuy's pop song "Sonne Stat Reagan". In case any list members are interested in artist records, the are two books worth tracking down: Ursula Block & Michael Glasmeier "Broken Music - Artists' Recordworks" published by Daadgalerie Berlin/Gemeentemuseum Den Haag/Magasin Grenoble. This book is a 278 page discography and features plenty of cover reproductions, performer info and track listings. Jean-Paul Bret/Charles Hernu "D.I.S.C.O.T.H.E.Q.U.E. ...experiences sonores d'artistes". Maison du Livre, d l'image et du Son. Ville de Villeurbanne. 1989. A much smaller book with text in French. Not nearly as complete as Broken Music, but an interesting curiousity if you can locate a copy.

Comic Strip Favorites - RCA Camden. Batman, Popeye, Dick Tracy and more. A fun LP. Sound Of Sight - Phase 4. Listening to this record is like going to a movie with no picture, only sound.

It's time someone set the record straight. He's got some great stuff. Lots of great stuff. Granted, he's got some weak stuff, especially in the 1970s. But he's way underappreciated. Put it this way. I have quite a few records by Martin Denny. I have more records by Percy Faith. I listen to Percy way more than Martin.

He said that he had some of each person I mentioned. Monty said some of them would sell for a buck each maybe less and maybe more. He did mention that he sold some stuff mail order out of "Goldmine", so I figured he wouldn't be just throwing stuff away, but I was curious. I asked him for his phone #, he had no phone, although he was familiar with phone technology. I had to be on my way, and he was in mid yard sale so I told him I'd be back. He said he was usually around and to stop by any time. I said I would. I stopped back by today. It was 11:30 and he was home. He let me in and the inside of the 2 family house (he owns it and lived on the first floor) looked pretty much like what I expected. It was ceiling to floor records, and other weird crap. He took me into the room where he kept the most of the records that I had mentioned. It was a real tight squeeze getting anywhere in the house and neither one of us were especially wide human beings, not that there's anything wrong with being wide. Monty kept warning me that this shelf or that one might crash down on me. We got to the easy listening/exotica/now/lounge/soundtracks. It took 10 minutes of moving to get to the stuff I' was looking for, more or less. Durring our digging, Monty started telling me about how he had his record organized. Some were by type of music, some where by instrument, some where by preformer, some may have been by preformer's eye color. It was getting stuffy in the house. Anyway I found some Enoch Light, Brass Ring, Three Suns, Baja Marimba Band, There were maybe decent Stereo Action albums and bunches of other stuff. I only had about 45 minutes today and most of my time was spent moving records to make room to look at anything. I was so overwhelmed by the impending avalanche and the vastness of that ocean of vinyl that I had neglected to ask Monty the most important question of all "What do you want for these, how much...huh...huh, how much money?". At the end of my 45 minutes, I handed Monty a stack and said, "So what do you want for these?". He looked through them all and said, "I don't think you're going to like my price." I had no idea what he meant. "Five bucks each", Monty said. Now I knew what he meant. Five bucks for The Brass Ring in so-so condition, Bert Kempfert's "A Man Could Get Killed" (which Monty had 7 copies of). Five bucks for the Dick Hyman's "Mirrors", The Baja Marimba Band, Living Brass or Vernie Green's Futura Stereo Action album. I didn't quite understand what his pricing structure was, and I was starting to feel woozy. I saw a box of naked Barbie dolls sitting on top of some records in the hall. I had to be somewhere so I told Monty that 5 dollars was more then I had planned on paying. He pulled out a price guide and showed me that Kempfert's "A Man Could Get Killed" was listed for $25.00. I wasn't up for a debate and I asked him what were the albums that he had for a dollar or less. He said follow me and marched me into his basement. At that moment I got this weird feeling that Monty was going to show me the room where he strung up and disemboweled the people who were stupid enough to walk down into his basement. Instead he showed me two large wood tables stacked 4 feet high with albums. He told me if I wanted to dig through these there might be some that he'd sell for a dollar or fifty cents. I told him that maybe I'd come back and do some digging, but I had to get going. On my way out Monty told me that he'd be interested in trading records for Jane Mansfield memorabilia, or old sheet music. It was getting way too weird and I needed lunch.

Lots of great stuff. Granted, >he's got some weak stuff, especially in the 1970s. But he's way >underappreciated. I agree about Percy but I'm not sure I can agree with the comment about the seventies since my favorite record of his - Black Magic Woman - is probably early seventies. I could confirm that if they'd make the damn writing bigger. I think a lot of these guys got kind of interesting in the early seventies when they got desperate to cash in on rock and funky jazz. I wish I could remember the exact cut but I've heard some seventies Kostelanatz that was totally wild and off-the-wall. And maybe this is a bit of a stretch but there are some Woody Herman records in the early seventies where he's trying to do "jazz-rock" that are great, if accidentally so. I've played cuts for those "acid jazz" DJ types and enjoyed their reaction when they wanted to know who it was. It's kind of apples and oranges to compare someone like Percy to someone like Martin Denny. I may be ignorant on Denny but the only records I've ever seen with his name on them were "Martin Denny" records. These other guys - Percy, Ray Martin, David Carroll, Sonny Lester, Phil Moore, Don Costa, Shorty Rogers, Les Baxter, Nelson Riddle (hey this is fun!), Bob Shad, Bob Thiele (okay I'll stop)... ... they arranged for singers, did soundtracks, arranged "faceless" instrumental records, tried the Now Sound, tried "jazz" etc etc They never did a bad job but sometimes they succeeded too well at being as boring as their employer wanted them to be. But sometimes they hit the exotica/lounge/Now Sound jackpot.

If there is any member on the West Coast (Pacific Time Zone) that can record a TV program on E! Television for me this morning (Wednesday) from 7-8 AM please let me know. The show is called Homes with Style and may be 2 episodes (one at 7:00 and one at 7:30). Basically, they did an interview with Shag about his artwork and studio and the picture he was working on for me was featured (according to Shag). I spoke with Shag yesterday and he said that the show was finally out but he had not seen it tho a friend told him he had. I do not see it listed anywhere else on the E! online schedule for broadcast this week so this is probably it. Unfortunately I did not look at the schedule until 8:03 this moring (3 minutes after it was over on the East Coast!). Hopefully someone will read this in time. You can call me at 843 795-3937 if needed.

He was 57. Herbert, who brought the Spice Girls together and lately managed the teen pop group Five, died after he lost control of his car in heavy rain and it collided with another car in Windsor, west of London. Two people in the other car were injured. Herbert and his son, Chris, sought candidates for the Spice Girls via an ad in a trade magazine in 1996. They selected and coached the five young women, who went on to international pop stardom. The group later fired Herbert in favor of another manager, and their number was reduced to four when Geri Halliwell -- Ginger Spice -- quit the group last year. LONDON (AP) -- TV cook Jennifer Paterson, one of the ``Two Fat Ladies'' who joyfully salted their recipes with political incorrectness, died Tuesday. She was 71 and had lung cancer. Miss Paterson fell ill in July during filming of ``Two Fat Ladies,'' a cooking show where the colorful chefs were the main course. Perfectly happy to be plump, the women toured the country on Miss Paterson's old Triumph motorcycle -- she in the driving seat and Clarissa Dickson Wright, in Red Baron-style helmet, squeezed into the sidecar. They went from one cooking job to the next, chortling and trading wry quips about food, love and life and happily loading their food with butter and cream. Miss Dickson Wright once called the program ``a cookery show with anarchy and a motorbike.'' The chain-smoking Miss Paterson, often filmed with a cigarette clamped firmly in her mouth, spoke with a ver-r-r-y upper-class accent and boomed out her opinions at will. The program appears in the United States, both on public television and on cable stations. ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere! # 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: Jane Fondle Subject: (exotica) Re: Exotica Question Date: 11 Aug 1999 06:24:35 -0700 (PDT) Lenny, this doesn't ring ma' bell, but I will forward it to the exotica list!

Working Week did release one great single I remember, with Tracey THorn doing the vocal honours, "Venceremos".

The place to go for the REAL pre-prohibition cocktail recipes and advice is http://hotwired.com/cocktail . I loooves this site. Paul Harrington, AKA the Alchemist also has brilliant book on the subject. Enjoy. Don't spare the ice. I am about to buy Gin, Bourbon and Angostura Bitter, Lime and Ginger Ale. I just thought if someone know any more vintage drinks with these or with other easily obtainable ingredients? I cant find any syrups here, except for those i can make at home. I can buy more kind of fruits and sodas, but thats about all. Any ideas? And, I am about to compile a book of my trance and cartoonish psych sketches I have made over the year 1999, 80 pages maybe. if anyone is interested in a copy, please let me know, i wont make more than i can sell/give away. The price will be about $8 and will feature a color cover with a painting of one of my Aku Akus. Its xerox, thats all i can afford just now. But xeroxcopies now is quite good in quality.

[snip] What a fantastic story! I could totally picture the house. And it was much creepier and more suspenseful than that Blair Witch Project movie. When I lived in Lincoln, Nebraska, I found a record store that had a huge stash in the basement -- you had to go down these creaky, narrow stairs to get to it, and the place was musty and poorly lit. The owners offered me the "job" of going through all the records and pricing them, but I was about to move to Chicago. They did give me some incredible deals on what I unearthed there -- like three sealed Dusty Springfield albums on Phillips ($5-6 ea!). But I still have dreams sometimes that I'm going through those records.... House / yard sales are so bizarre, in my experience.

I don't know from Don Tiki nor whether the song is a standard but I have two great versions of it. An instrumental version by Tony Hatch which made me think it was some lost Quincy Jones soundtrack cut. Or Bacharach. It has a very similar feel to Bacharach's "Bond Street". The Hatch record says the song is from the film "Girl Rush". Never heard of it but I'd like to. I also have a bang-up vocal version by the great Ethel Ennis. In fact I just finished a tape with that song as the lead-off track. Okay Jane, make with the Ethel Ennis endorsements.

I really love this tune and her version is my favorite. It's on her album "Trouble Is A Man" (Columbia 1153) and it also turned up on the "Sex Kittens in Hi-Fi" CD from DCC.

Unless you count Tipsy, which I love, but it's not the same thing really. I just recently dumped the Four Piece Suit CD in spite of the great Neil Young cover. I don't know why I keep reacting this way. I tell myself it's a silly prejudice, then I buy another one, then I have the same reaction. I think it's visceral and not something I've decided to feel. Maybe it's the CD sound. Maybe it's the CD itself as an object. Maybe it's the absence of innocence. Maybe it's the "decontextualization". Or maybe the difference between the "original" stuff and the new stuff is nothing you can put your finger on.

Lane,Jeanie Tomaini Date: 12 Aug 1999 06:23:33 -0700 NEW HOPE, Minn. (AP) -- Mildred F. Lane, who looked inside a ``big fluffy bun'' while another woman asked ``Where's the Beef?'', died Saturday from injuries she suffered during a fall. She was 96. When Ms. Lane was 80, an advertising agent discovered her while buying yarn in a Chicago knitting shop. She appeared in commercials for Rhodes Bread before doing spots for the Wendy's restaurant chain. In her most famous commercial, filmed in the mid-1980s, Lane stood between two other women while wearing bifocals. The trio criticized other hamburger restaurants, with one asking: ``Where's the Beef?'' For appearing in the Wendy's commercials, she received a gold card to get a free meal every day from the restaurant chain, said nephew Robert Egan. GIBSONTON, Fla. (AP) -- Jeanie Tomaini, who was born without legs and became known as ``The Half Girl'' on the carnival circuit, died Tuesday. She was 82. Although 2-foot-6 in stature, in spirit Mrs. Tomaini is remembered as a giant -- a matriarch who helped shape this tiny hamlet into an off-season haven for circus workers. While crisscrossing the United States on the sideshow circuit, she met Al Tomaini, who stood 8-foot-4 and wore a size 22 shoe. They married and worked the shows together as ``The World's Strangest Couple.'' Through it all, Mrs. Tomaini never saw her disability as a stumbling block. ``Only if I meet a person who is morally, spiritually and physically perfect will I ever hang my head in shame,'' she said. ----- MailStart Plus - http://www.mailstartplus.com Consolidate Your Mailboxes Into an Organized, Filtered, Spell-Checked, Anywhere, Anytime WebBox # 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: (exotica) get carter remixes Date: 12 Aug 1999 14:45:57 +0100 I finally got to hear these properly. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. The lead mix is by Lionrock. Now Justin Robertson, I think it is, has done some good things in the past, but this is dreadful, a lame arrangement with only the one 'distinctive' sound from the original, and he's obviously got a mate who is a crap drummer in to do live drums over the top of it. It just falls apart on every drum fill. Inexcusable. The drum and Bass mix is better, quite old fashioned, (in DnB terms that is) like a 3 year old Intelligent mix. But thats far and away the best thing on it. And I think thats because it uses so much of the original track. The rest is just not very interesting.

The best song from Porgy & Bess is "Bess You Is My Woman Now" an absolutely beautiful duet between Porgy and Bess. In the right mood (and with just the right light) this song will literally bring me to tears. And Gershwin wrote the music for this opera about 4 miles from where I sit in my office now on James Island. He wrote the music on Folly Island. The play Porgy (by Dubose Heyward) on which the opera is based is set in Charleston in the 19 teens. Oh, Sammy Davis became famous mainly because of his role as "Sportin' Life" in this opera.

An album purporting to be by Portishead called 'Pearl' was picked up in Russia by a journalist working there who contacted nme.com. It was an 11 track album with professional artwork and seemingly new tracks; it sounded a bit like Portishead, though there were some doubts as to whether or not it actually was. The album was on a known bootleg label called Always Records - common in Russia, Ukraine and Eastern European countries - but also carried the Go! Beat - Portishead's label - logo and a copyright statement. There was some speculation - particularly on Portishead fan sites - that the album may have been a Beth Gibbons solo album that had somehow been leaked to or stolen by bootleggers. Richard Chamberlain of Go! Beat in the UK confirmed that it was definitely not Portishead. "It's not Beth singing," he told nme.com. "I don't know what it is. Definitely nothing to do with us." Further investigation by the journalist who first uncovered the story revealed that it was actually an existing album by a band called Mandalay. One bootleg collector that nme.com spoke to claims that this is a new twist. "In the 60s, you would sometimes get regional record labels in America putting out tracks by local artists that were supposedly by better known acts," he said. "It was often soul artists. You would get somebody in Seattle putting out records by Wilson H Pickett or something that sounded nothing like Wilson Pickett. You would also get touring bands in Britain passing themselves off as American bands who had had hit records. In those days people didn't always know what they looked like so it was easy to do." In the late 70s, one relatively famous scam involved an Australian garage band turning out a compilation album of supposedly obscure 60s psychedelic punk tracks by different bands. There are other Portishead bootlegs circulating in Russia including one features Portishead tracks interspersed with tracks from Propellerheads' 'Decksanddrumsandrockandroll'. Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet countries have become havens for CD bootlegging and data piracy because international organisations find it difficult to police operations there. But this is the first case anyone has come across of an existing band being used to sell imitation product. News story sent courtesy of nme.com (http://www.nme.com).

When Prince originally decided not to release the Black Album, bootleg copies were in great abundance. It seems that not all of the bootlegs were actually bootlegs though. I seem to recall that a german band had done a note-for-note recreation and started selling these as the actual Prince recording. # 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: Lloyd Kandell Subject: Re: (exotica) An Occasional Man Date: 12 Aug 1999 10:30:07 -1000 Elisabeth Vincentelli wrote: > RE: "Occasional Man" > > I have a great version by Judy Holliday.

The Ray Conniff singers do a bangup job of the "Thus Spake Zara whatever" theme to 2001. They call it something like "Ba da da da". Generally the RC singers started sucking the moment they went from wordless vocals to singing the words. Maybe this works because there aren't lyrics. # 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: Moog90@aol.com Subject: (exotica) J.

(AP) -- Whitney Darrow Jr., a popular cartoonist for The New Yorker, died Tuesday. He was 89. The New Yorker published more than 1,500 of Darrow's cartoons during a 50-year career that started in the 1930s. One of his favorite cartoons was inspired by the advent of Laundromats. Darrow drew a woman in a busy Laundromat washing all her clothes, including those she'd been wearing. Naked, she stares in amazement at the newfangled machine doing her wash. John Russell, reviewing a Darrow exhibition in 1978, wrote in the New York Times that ``Whitney Darrow has been one of the best cartoonists around for as long as anyone can remember. He is an environmental cartoonist, in that he goes on setting the scene in that misleadingly easygoing style of his until he is ready for a one-liner. And what a one-liner.'' He published four collections of his cartoons and also illustrated books by Jean Kerr, Nathanial Benchley and many others. In addition to his wife, Middy, Darrow is survived by a son, a daughter, and two grandsons. NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Vocalist Tommy Ridgley, a veteran performer from the golden age of New Orleans rhythm and blues, died Wednesday of lung cancer. He was 73. Though Ridgley never had a national hit, his more than 70 recordings have endured around the globe. He was a fixture in the city's nightclubs and at private functions for 50 years, and has been featured at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival since 1972. Ridgley signed with Decca Records in 1952 and produced ``TraLaLa'' which was later covered by Pat Boone. He also recorded over the years for Atlantic Records, where he was billed as ``The New King of the Stroll.'' In 1995, Ridgley released an acclaimed comeback album, ``Since the Blues Began,'' on Black Top Records. Last year Ridgley announced plans for a new CD, and remained optimistic about performing even after he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

I have a one-sided picture-disc single from the late sixties by a Dutch painter who called himself Ardy, the Painter of Love. His real name is Ardy Struwer. Apparantly he lives in Sweden now. The single I have is called 'Pregnant rainbows for colourblind dreamers', and yes it's quite weird. It starts quietly with the sound of rain, but gradualy it builds up to a jamsession with lots of percussion and Ardy reciting a poem about "your red nipples" and other interesting things. I've been told that only 99 copies of this record were made, so I'm quite that I found it at.

The recently mentioned pre-teen Lena Zamarona doing "Help Me Make it Through the Night" typifies a WWTH (what were they thinking?) song. Then listen closely to the precocious lyrics of Patience & Prudence's "Tonight You Belong to Me." Methinks the submissive toenail-painting Humbert Humbert enjoyed this tune. Recently while driving to and from Las Vegas I noticed at least 4 "correctional facilities," easily identifiable by the "NO HITCHHIKING" signs on the highway. As I drove by the exit for Buck Owens Boulevard in Bakersfield, Elvis's "Jailhouse Rock" came on the radio. As a fan of HBO's prison show "OZ" (the best show on the tube!) this song took on a new meaning to me. "Prisoner 47 said to Number 3, you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see." Sly old dogs Lieber and Stoller, who also wrote that album for Peggy Lee with the song "Some Men Know" how to take it slow while others are clueless, or sentiments to that effect.

Robert Moog, maker of the Moog synthesizer, and Keith Emerson, keyboardist of the progressive rock trio Emerson, Lake and Palmer, appeared together Thursday for the unveiling of a computerized interactive piano. The instrument -- the Van Koevering Interactive Piano -- was designed with Moog's help by his longtime collaborator, David Van Koevering. The demonstration of the interactive piano illustrated how far electronic music has come in the three decades since the Moog synthesizer entered the mainstream of pop music. On one side of the room sat an ungainly stack of modular circuitry and patch cables perched above a wooden keyboard -- a vintage Moog like the one Emerson first played in public in 1969 and for the solo he recorded for the band's 1970 hit "Lucky Man," one of the first synthesizers on a rock album. "It was a very temperamental instrument to use on stage," Emerson said, before agreeing to tickle the electronic ivory once more for old-time's sake. Several feet away stood the polished, ebony cabinet of a baby grand piano, with a touch-screen color monitor built into its music stand and a state-of-the-art computer and digital sound system tucked under the hood. Officials from Van Koevering's Iowa-based company put the instrument through its paces, showing off its ability to convincingly replicate the sounds of 128 different instruments. The digitally mastered sounds of everything from a flute to an acoustic guitar can be played from the keyboard or be produced as accompaniment, mixed, recorded or altered at the touch of the computer screen. Powered by a Pentium II microchip, it comes with software titles for composition, performance and interactive music lessons. CDs can be played and recorded from the piano, and music played at the keyboard and can be transposed as electronic sheet music and printed. Aside from its impressive range in reproducing sound, the instrument was touted for a design that makes its operation relatively simple compared with other electronic instruments on the market. "It integrates and puts into a usable and easy-to-understand package a lot of technology that already exists," said Robert Margouleff, a music producer and engineer who attended the demonstration. "You don't have to be a scientist" to play it. Priced at $15,000, the baby grand version retails at less than a conventional baby grand piano, Van Koevering officials said. Still, professional studio musicians shouldn't worry about losing their day jobs just yet. Moog said the interactive piano is designed primarily as an educational tool and for home entertainment, at least for now. ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "B.

I was giving the dog a bath while listening to that Directional Stereo album "Exotic Percussion and Brilliant Brass" (and I think this is the one that Jane was raving about a few months ago), when lo and behold there is a beautiful version of the song towards the end of side one. It sounds much more like the Don Tiki version (only without vocals) than the Sarah Vaughn did. Nice, light tropical Latin and percussion feeling. The whole album is definitely wonderful. I'd forgotten. As Homer Simpson would say, "D'oh!".

Great atmosphere, evocative footage of Coney Island. Nice solo harmonica score by... well, I forget who, but I know it wasn't Leo Diamond. Later that day at 9:00pm and 2:00am, AMC gets in the swim with "Sunset Boulevard" (1950).

Or maybe it doesn't matter. I have this Andy Williams record called "The Way We Were". On the front cover, Andy is hugging a woman. You can only see a bit of her neck and her pierced ear but they actually identify her as "Claudine" in the credits. And it's not like you get to see her face on the back because the back picture shows Andy holding one of his children. (Or I presume it's one of his). Actually it's more curious than that because the boy he's holding is about four years old and yet the credits read "Girl on the front cover" and "Boy on the back cover". I guess Claudine was his little girl after all. The record came out in 1974. What was happening in their relationship at that point? The reason I ask is because these are the tunes he sings: Touch me in the morning, Seasons in the Sun. **You're the best thing that ever happened to me, Love's theme, **If I could ever go back again, **Killing me Softly with her song, Sunshine on my shoulders, **The Most beautiful girl, **The Way we were, ***I won't last a day without you. (Asterisks added for emphasis ) So is this Andy's version of the breakup record? Or were they getting back together? Or was he trying to get her to come back but promise not to shoot him? It would be cool to think that Andy had made a record in the same tradition as Marvin Gaye's "Here my Dear" or Richard and Linda Thompson's "Shoot out the Lights". Are there any other records in this same tradition? BTW, his version of "Won't last a day" is simply beautiful.

The record becomes identified, it becomes more scarce, it becomes more expensive when you find it. And so even when you find piles of various James Last LP's, you seldom see "Voodoo". Is it worth it? Well I know lots of people who would say an unequivocal yes. It's worth it if you want a record that's become rare and scarce and which you won't see that often. It's worth it for a fairly cool and crazy cover. It's worth it if you want to surprise your friends when they ask "What is that crazy Santana-like thing you just played?" It's probably worth it if you DJ. But is it worth it for the music? I think there are a lot of cheaper records out there with a similar sound. To me, Voodoos is like a cross between Sly and the Family Stone and Santana. Their records are a lot cheaper but perhaps not as "exotic" since you expect them to sound like that. Then there are bands like "El Chaino" which have a similar sound to Santana but are usually cheaper... because they haven't been identified. And there are other records with the same percussion sound. Chaino. Kaino. Even some Roberto Delgado. And then there's Mongo. I don't think it's worth the big bucks but there are some good cuts and there is some novelty value to the fact that it's James Last. >And is the Marty Gold "Beatles" Moog LP worthwhile? Yes. It's a better-than-average Moog LP. # 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: recliner Subject: Re: (exotica) Here My Dear Date: 14 Aug 1999 20:15:12 -0500 Nat Kone wrote: > What year did that whole Claudine "accidental shooting" happen? > Or maybe it doesn't matter. > I have this Andy Williams record called "The Way We Were". > On the front cover, Andy is hugging a woman.

As far as I know, although they were separated, there was no public animosity between Claudine and Andy. Claudine took care of the kids and Andy would use them for publicity shots. (no pun intended.)

Bear Family. They have their own website out of Germany, but it is often easier to order through ccmusic.com (Collector's Choice Music). Great reissues. I have Eartha Kitt and the Prima/Butera/Keely sets. Wonderful documentation and very complete. They have lots of other great boxed sets, though.

I think they had some pretty respectable records out there. Of course, they had a lot of less than remarkable albums, but that should not keep us from considering the others. Ray Conniff His Orchestra and Chorus (as opposed to Singers, yuck!) You Make Me Feel So Young Columbia CS 8918 This one has both Caravan and Third Man Theme on it. Need I say more? Certainly not the best versions of either, but glad to have Conniff's versions now. I didn't get a Faith record today, but I realize I tend to lump Conniff and Faith together because they both recorded for Columbia. I like many of Faith's early albums which have exotic themes (such as Delicado). I also have his Bouquet of Love, but only for the cover, not for the "strings." I found another album with an interesting cover: Stage Left, Stage Right arranged and conducted by Jack Pleis Columbia CS 8462. I doubt the music is all that good. The front has the normal colored fonts listing off the broadway hits covered in the album, but in the top center there is a cut into the cardboard for a rectangular motion display of "Rockettes" kick dancing. Also today I found Grant Takes Rhythm, where he sings on all of the tunes (think Nat King Cole singing and playing the organ). I like his rendition of House of Bamboo. With today's purchases comes my second copy of a Time-Life Book (album sized) which think is an excellent reference to recording technology and pop/film composer/arrangers. It is called "As You Remember Them: The Men and the Music." I have yet to find this packaged with records, so I guess it did not come in a boxed set but was an added thank you to series subscribers? In any case, I got it for 25 cents just so someone on this list could also enjoy this book! There is a picture of a fat bald Les Baxter, David Rose on his miniature train (the kind you can barely sit on), Lalo Schifrin playing an unusual instrument, Leroy Anderson with some of his unique percussion devices and plenty of info on these folks and others, such as Martin Denny, Billy Vaughn, Burt Bacharach, Nelson Riddle, Percy Faith, Herb Alpert, Mantovani, Dimitri Tiomkin, Bert Kaempfert, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Michel Legrand, Miklos Rozsa, John Barry and Henry Mancini. About the only guy not pictured is Denny :( . So, if you want this book, be the first to send an email to me and I will post it to you next Saturday gratis.

In addition to plenty of standards, the CD's salted with a few Hawaiian numbers, like "The Hukilau Song", "Pearly Shells" and "Hawaiian War Chant". Matt sings on several of the tunes. Here's a track listing: Come On-a My House A-Tisket, A-Tasket Don't Be That Way/Stompin' at the Savoy The Hukilau Song Pearly Shells In the Copa Room (a swinging tribute to Vegas, the Rat Pack, etc.) Every Day I Have the Blues Night in Tunisia After Hours Blue Hawaii Love You Madly Them There Eyes Smiles/When You're Smilin' Don' Cha Go 'Way Mad I'll Remember You Come On-a My House (instro) Hawaiian War Chant Catingub's a pretty talented guy and Concord Jazz is a tremendous jazz label, so this doesn't sound like some cheap knock-off to cash in on exotica or swing interest. I enjoyed it. A real toe-tapper! Listen for it on next Retro Cocktail Hour webcast.

Right you are! This particular tune, though, is definitely about Rat Pack-era Vegas. The lyrics go on about cruising the Strip, checking out the casino at the Sands ("now you're in Sinatra's den..."), about Prima swinging in the lounge, etc. It even mentions JFK trysting with Marilyn Monroe. It's a cute little jump tune.

In the Target ad circular that came with today's newspaper, there's an entire line of *wild*, stunning, retro-futuristic inflatable furniture on sale -- clearly to cash in on back-to-school students looking to decorate their college pads. It's all fairly affordably priced -- who knows how durable it is though. Maybe they have some inflated at the store to examine. The "Shaggy 'It' Table Lamp," with its shag tourquoise faux-fur lampshade is also really "Barbarella" in its aesthetic. They also have some 50s-style butterfly chairs in the ad ("canvas cover reverses to faux fur or velvet"). The most impressive and conceptually the wildest is the "Speaker chair with Ottoman" ("Inflatable vinyl chair with built-in speakers (i.e. for both sides of your head while sitting) plugs into your music system") -- can people like us afford NOT to have this? *Incredible!* Considering its uninflated, highly storable state, I feel compelled to snatch up a sofa/chair set for whenever I move into a bigger place.

Faith really got wild on "Clair" with a very cool version of "Superfly" featuring Plas Johnson and a surreal album cover. Unfortunately the rest of the album doesn't come close. And if you're going to DJ a Jewish wedding, bring along his disco version of "Havah Nagila" from "Disco Party". (Unfortunately for me, I didn't find this until after I provided the tunes for a friend's wedding. I had to use Perez Prado's version from "The Twist Goes Latin"). Conniff's "Dance The Bop" , however,is still a very swinging and I assume atypical record. # 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. ----------------------------
