Also found a couple of interesting things in charity shops. SAMPLE MANCINI what a great record, well side one is anyway. It seems to be a sort of compilation. Starts off with a latin version of The Magnificent 7 (from 'Mancini in Latin' I think), then Senor Peter Gunn (no source record for this, but its a real corker, nice organ in the middle - you know I'm gonna love it). Then side 1 rounds off with a great version of 'House of the Rising Sun' from Mancini 67. side 2 is pretty good, but those 3 tracks are just real winners. The 'Mancini 67' LP looks well worth buying if you see it. The other thing I got was STEREO 99 another compilation, mixed stuff. On the label 'Ninety Nine', which I think is the label I have my Buffalo Springfield LP on, although the tracks come from (German?) polydor releases it looks like. Mostly the usual suspects, Roberto Delgado etc. 2 *gag* James Last tracks I liked, 'O Manguero (the Bandit)' and 'Happy Music'. That was a shock. A pretty good John Scott version of 'Delilah', I've not come across him before. I actually got it as it has a Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra track on it, 'Those were the days'. Not my favourite song, but a pleasingly interesting arrangement. That was about it. I was up in East Dulwich for a while, which was one of my favourite spots for charity shops, but half of them had closed down, and those that were open had either recent trance 12's or poor 80s pop. very disappointing. also new URL if anyone is interested (same old stuff though).

Anyway I was asked by the organisers to provide music in the central bar for 5 hours Sunday afternoon, 1 - 6pm. The show was 40 degrees, and is a 'streetwear' show, where designers, manufacturers etc set up and buyers for retailers come down to look, make contacts and place orders. Its a trade fair rather than a catwalk thing. 'It's very URBAN, ...FUNKY. The organisers said. They had skateboarders from all over the world on this big half pipe, that sort of thing. Fine. They promised silly money, which was even finer, but this was soon scaled down, but it was still fine. Although I haven't been paid yet. So, I packed up enough records (I hoped) for 5 hours and with a friend who was doing an hour and a half after me on Sunday and then again Monday, set off for the London. We got up there early, found the bar. I was expecting it to be enclosed. What it was, was a space for about 8 stands (say 30 Yards square) cleared in the middle of the floor, with a few chairs. Totally open to the hall, but split down the middle with 2 bars back to back. Next thing we noticed was the stand with Drum and Bass blasting out from about 2 stalls away (they had Goldie there on the Monday fortunately I wasn't up against him). Then, no booth for us. The decks were set up on the counter behind the bar, so that I had to stand with my back to the seating area, looking through a little hatch to another bit of the bar on the other side. No monitors either so all you could hear was the wash of bass coming out of the speakers, the walls were way too far away for echoes. As soon as I started playing the other thing about that bass you noticed was the rumbling feedback. Not too bad at first, but after about 3pm the DnB stall starting really kicking in. The Bass snaked out through the floor, up through the bar into the decks, out of my speakers and fed right back in again. Great. Every Bass note from there just went round my system endlessly. All I could do was turn the bass right down and float stuff out over the top, fortunately I had some sitar bits that did very nicely, as did the more laid back exotic stuff, Denny and Baxter. Then one of the bar staff (we'd been bumping backs and getting in each others way all afternoon) spilt a skip of ice and water all over the bar floor. Just what you need with amps and wires and records all over the place. I think it went well in spite of it being far more stressful than it should have. I started off with Euro go-go stuff, Peter Thomas, Vampyros Lesbos, Gert Wilden etc, down through Brasilian Samba to some jazzier bits for about 3 when I had the bass problems, so it was off into Ananda Shanka and Exotica, then they unplugged the DnB PA as it was pissing too many people off, so then I could come back up through some Lounge stuff (Frank, Dino etc) into Now Sounds and finished off with Funkier tunes along the lines off the Incredible Bongo Band and Hells Belles. Quite a musical journey. I must have played over 150 of the 200 records I took. I think they liked it. My friend played some disco tunes afterwards and on the Monday, and we've been asked back for February. Not much feedback from bar users (one person asked about Tom Jones 'Witch Queen', but that was it). But its funny the people you know who it turns out make latex underwear. And they forgot to give me any food.

Friends of Dean Martinez have a very original, relaxed, melancholic and warm guitar based sound, but it ain't no typical Brit instro, and certainly not surf either. They sound a bit more exotic than their previous one ("Shadow of your smile") thanks to some vibes and gentle conga work, and also more varied, with the addition of organ, sax, harmonica and accordion here and there. They sound a bit like Santo & Johnny with a fistful of fuzzy and distorted electric guitars, and a pinch of feedback. Other references that came to my mind while listening where: The Triffids without vocals, Twin Peaks (the dreamy atmosphere), Neil Youngs guitar work on a late warm night in a tiki lounge... grungy lounge? Only 1 track sounded a bit out of place here: the uptempo R&B based "Monte Carlo"; I would have given it a cocktail jazz treatment instead. But a couple of other slightly Latin rhythms fit in percectly! Highly recommended late night "grounge" listening pleasure! _Atardecer_: More EZ grunge instro beauty!

Got the idea from reading the article on Frank Turek's (Recliner's) program on the Internet. (http://www.cascobayweekly.com/colum/cong_st_min3_11_99.html) Where it mentioned Frank did 25 versions of the song once. Bravo Frank! So, to paraphrase Dave Barry: "Has the 25 song Autumn Leaves barrier ever been broken?" It?s time to go for a new record! ;') I?m new at this and may not have the stamina, or the rekkids, to even get to 25 versions. But I?m willing to give it a try. I need about 45 versions to fill a whole 3 hour show. If I go that route. Yikes! Gone through my LP's and found about 12 versions, by the time I go through the CD?s (Esquivel, Nat King Cole, Karrin Allison come to mind) I may have another 10. So the Recliner's record may stand.

Maybe we have different copies but I have the CD and the vinyl and on both copies, they do "Autumn Serenade", not "Leaves"... unless it's the same song. And anyway, the classic on that record is "My one and only love". (Good enough even to obliterate memories of Sting croaking it out on TV once.) I have two more of those Impulse compilations, with almost thirty tunes between them and unfortunately none of them have leaves in them either. And then there's this reissue of one of his "lost" albums, "And I thought about you". Again, no leaves. (And at this point, we're well over forty tunes with that lovely deep dark voice.) And finally I have this sort of sad, almost exotic record he made in 1972 - "Today" - where he covered "By the time I get to Phoenix", "Games people play", "Betcha by golly wow" (!) and "Help me make it through the night". On that one, the closest he comes to "Autumn Leaves" is "Summer Wind". The record isn't a total failure but you have to wonder if he'd have made it if he had received anything near his proper due as a singer. It's sort of cool to hear his sing "betcha by golly wow". I've read some explanations of why he never made it. I'm sure it had something to do with race although Nat King Cole would seem to put that into question. But for me he was the best crooner ever. Hands down. (Have you seen the infomercial for that classical CD "The Most Relaxing Classical Record in the World... Ever"? I love the way the way the guy pauses before he says "ever".)

I only have the latter, but it really is top class, especially "Boccaccio Soul" and "Eloise" (yes, that song) which are real stormers. All the tracks are linked by cute little electronic bleep-blips for no apparent reason! I've seen "Hey Jude" a couple of times, but never "Sounds Spectacular". If the tracks are on a sampler distributed in some country, it stands to reason that the albums are going to be available in the same country. It's just that people preferred to buy James Last albums over Augusto Alguero in a ratio of about 234865:1. The only other info I have is that one Augusto Alguero composed/conducted a number of Spanish entries for the Eurovision Song Contest. If this is the same A.A. (the Eurovision connection is a clicher for my money), then maybe Spain is the place to dig up some more of his work.

He also had a weekly radioshow, which in my opinion was the most hilarious and funny thing that ever happened on Dutch radio. He was the best Dutch interviewer ever, who's maxim was that a good question puts every answer in its shadow.

The process is the same as making any other record. You go to a pressing plant with a DAT or similar and they press it for you... You just need to find one that is willing to press bootlegs. You get the material by recording a mint lp and then eliminating any pops with audio editing software.

And it's a kick to listen to with headphones! - bruce # 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: bag@hubris.net Subject: Re: (exotica) [anti-obit] octogenarians Date: 03 Sep 1999 21:04:36 +0000 At 10:01 AM 03-09-99 -0400, Lou wrote about the LIVING: >(*) Eddie Albert - actor I like him best when he did a stint on the Bell Science series. >Ernest Borgnine - actor I thought he was 90.

The cut and the pressing plant. In the early days of my old label we used a pressing plant in Hungary via a pressing service run by a character (a real character that is) called Mike Spenser, vocalist with the Cannibals and the man who pressed up those pebbles boxed LP sets in the early 90's. At the time they were desperate for currency (just after the collapse of the Soviet Union) and would manufacture anything on the best vinyl. They'd previously only made top quality classical LP's. And I don't suppose they checked a thing. I have heard that there are people with their own pressing plants out in the sticks, you just need to know someone who knows someone. Or you can take advantage of globalisation and differences in copyright. This was a big deal here in the mid 80's when a load of 'Italian imports' appeared. I don't know if its still the case but Italian copyright laws were very different from the UK at that time, so there was a spate of people legally pressing up, say Jimi Hendrix LPs, in Italy and then importing them here where the copyright was owned by someone else. It was a while ago and may have been plugged, although I know of people still using it in the early 90s at least. Pressing up boots, exporting them to Italy then importing them back again. Far too much effort if you ask me. Pressing your own legally owned records is very easy, and I'd point anyone interested to 'The Manual' by the KLF (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty) which I think has just been re-published. Its funny and better than a 2 year course on the music business.

He was 87. Lowe and Miss Channing, 78, separated last year after she accused him of mismanagement. The two were estranged at the time of Lowe's death, publicist Alan Eichler said. A native of Steel City, Neb., Lowe served in the Army during World War II. After the war, he went from advertising executive to producer of the 1950-58 ``The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show'' on CBS. He and Miss Channing married in 1956 and Lowe focused his attention on her stage career. He also produced five network TV specials with his wife, including ``An Evening with Carol Channing.'' In May 1998, Ms. Channing filed for divorce. Saturday, September 4, 1999; 7:59 p.m. EDT Marguerite Chapman BURBANK , Calif. (AP) -- Marguerite Chapman, who starred in a series of World War II movies and later as a secretary in Marilyn Monroe's film the ``The Seven Year Itch,'' died Tuesday. She was 81. From 1940 to 1943, Ms. Chapman appeared in 18 movies, ranging from Charlie Chan comedies to armed services booster films as a member of Warner Bros.' singing and dancing Navy Blues Sextet. Ms. Chapman was eventually cast as a leading lady in ``Destroyer'' with Edward G. Robinson and Glenn Ford and in ``Appointment in Berlin'' opposite George Sanders. After the war, she continued to win leading roles in such films as ``Relentless'' opposite Robert Young and ``The Green Promise'' with Walter Brennan. But by the 1950s, Ms. Chapman had slipped into supporting roles, notably as a secretary in ``The Seven Year Itch'' in 1955. Ms. Chapman had top billing again in her final film, ``The Amazing Transparent Man'' in 1960, but the film was critically panned. As Ms. Chapman's film career waned, she made guest appearances in television series including ``Richard Diamond, Private Detective,'' ``Rawhide,'' ``Perry Mason,'' ``Hawaii Five-0'' and ``Marcus Welby, M.D.'' Peter Gilman HILO, Hawaii (AP) -- Peter Gilman, whose best-selling novel was turned into the movie ``Diamond Head,'' died Wednesday. He was 73. Gilman was a reporter for The Honolulu Star-Bulletin in the 1950s when he wrote ``Such Sweet Thunder,'' which topped The New York Times Best Seller List. Columbia Pictures paid $100,000 for the book in 1959. The novel was turned into the 1960 movie ``Diamond Head,'' starring Charlton Heston. Following his success, Gilman moved to Paris, where he joined a group of fellow-expatriate writers that included James Jones, James Baldwin and William Styron. Gilman later trained polo ponies in Argentina, and became an artist and commercial fisherman in Mexico. Born in New York, Gilman graduated from UCLA, and went on to work for the Monterey Peninsula Herald in California, The Associated Press and The Los Angeles Times. Survivors include three sons. Monday, September 6, 1999; 8:58 p.m. EDT Allen Funt PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Allen Funt, the TV prankster behind ``Candid Camera,'' which thrived on America's willingness to laugh at itself and created a trademark phrase, died Sunday. He was 84. Funt died of complications from the 1993 stroke that forced him into retirement. ``Candid Camera,'' which aired off and on from 1948 to 1990 with Funt as host, secretly filmed people confronted with talking mailboxes or trick coffee cups. ``Smile! You're on `Candid Camera!' '' was the victim's tipoff. The show was a precursor of reality-genre television shows such as ``Cops'' and ``World's Most Dangerous Animals.'' ``People toss around the word `pioneer' all the time, but Allen Funt was really one of those rare people who was a pioneer,'' said Michael Naidus, a CBS spokesman. CBS now airs ``Candid Camera,'' with Funt's son Peter Funt and Suzanne Somers as hosts, on Friday evenings. The TV program was born of Funt's ``Candid Microphone,'' a radio show the New York native originated after his Army service in World War II. The show had its TV premiere, still called ``Candid Microphone,'' on ABC in 1948. It bounced from one network to another in its early years, eventually getting picked up by CBS in 1960 for a seven-year run. In 1960-61, it was the seventh-best rated show in the nation. CHICAGO (AP) -- Barry Shipp, who took an oil he found in a drug paraphernalia shop and used it to create the popular fragrance called Jovan Musk, died Monday of a heart attack. He was 62. After spending time as Revlon sales trainee and rising to become the company's Midwest sales representative, Shipp joined entrepreneur Bernard Mitchell in creating Jovan in the late 1960s. As Shipp told the story, he was on a sales trip in New York when he stepped into a ``head shop'' where drug paraphernalia was sold along with other counterculture items, including something called musk oil. ``It was the hottest thing in underground perfumery,'' Shipp, a prominent thoroughbred horse owner, said in a recent interview with Illinois Racing News. ``It was said to be a sexual attractant.'' Shipp took the oil back to Chicago and helped create Jovan Musk. ``And the thing just took off,'' he said. ``We went from a $1 million company in 1971 to an $85 million company in 1979.'' Shipp is survived by his wife, Mary Ellen; two sons, Gregg and Drew Shipp, and his daughter, Lara. # 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: Subject: Re: (exotica) Forbidden Planet OST Date: 07 Sep 1999 09:46:06 -0400 >>Shes right, of course, but completely missing the point.

Thanks to DJJimmyB for always mentioning this >album. Listened to the side with Soulful Strut. the perfect easylistening/ >now sound album. Tonight I'll get to side 2. Okay time to talk about the Now Sound again. I've just gotten rid of some 300 LP's and I noticed that the genre in which I was most reluctant to "purge" was in that aforementioned "now sound". Covers, mostly instrumental, of sixties and seventies pop and rock hits. So I guess it turns out I'm sort of collecting that stuff. Which brings me to my survey question. What are your favourite Now Sound - I've heard it called "loungecore" - LP's and/or artists? What am I still looking for? What have I missed? In the categories of lounge, easy listening and exotica, I think I basically know what I have and what I still want. A lot of that "knowledge" came from this very list. But in this category, I pretty well only know what I have. I'm interested in everything from the "suckier" stuff like Ronnie Aldrich and his two pianos doing a Bacharach cover or Lenny Dee doing "Love Train", through big band arrangers like Don Costa or Nelson Riddle doing "Up up and away", right through to what we might call "instrumental rock" with the Ventures doing "The Letter", Billy Strange doing "Eve of destruction" or Sandy Nelson doing "Monday Monday". Or the Corporation doing "To Sir with Love". Or "Switched on Bacharach". Or Peter Nero doing covers of "Hair" on the moog. Or Hugo Montenegro's definitive version of "Good Vibrations". Or Living Guitars' great version of "Somebody to Love". And everything in between. Even a bit of crooning if you want. Like Buddy Greco or the Living Voices sucking all the anger out of "Like A Rolling Stone" and replacing it with an oily residue of irony. You got the picture. Not that I can go out and just get the stuff I'm missing, but what is it anyway?

It's called The Best Of Moog and is coming out through RED distribution in the US. It has tracks by the usual Moog folks: Perrey-Kingsley, Dick Hyman, Enoch Light. But it also has a couple of people I'm not familiar with. Perhaps someone could enlighten the list with info on Gil Trythall and Electrik Cokernut are?? If it has been covered before or if there is a good Moog website please let me know. The entire solicitation can be found on my web site at the link below.

I know nothing about EC themselves, though listening tro the album I strongly suspect that it is one of those cash-in cover albums from the seventies'(including a cover of Middle of the Road's Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep- doesn't take much stretch of imagination to realise what that must sound like). I know of a few Moog websites, but nothing comprehensive. However, if it is still available, and if you haven't checked it out already, I'd recommend issue 3 of the Grand Royal magazine, which features 32 pages of Moog-related articles, including interviews with Dick Hyman, Wendy Carlos, Walter Sear, Tim Gane from Stereolab and Bob Moog himself.

In fact for many he examplified yeye. He was born in Egypt but moved to France when he was young. His first big hit was "Belles, belles, belles". He was an excellent businessman, and was one of the first in his generation to start his own label, Fleche. He was an extraordinary showman (acknowledged being inspired by Sammy Davis Jr.) and quickly got 3 dancers, the Claudettes, to appear with him. He got really sappy in the early 70s, but redeemed himself with a couple of disco classics: just play "Alexandrie, Alexandra" at any party in France, and watch everybody rush the dancefloor. Scary! He died in 1979 or '80, can't remember exactly, supposedly electrocuted in his bath. Urban legend is that he dropped his vibrator in the tub. And yes, he co-cowrote and sang "My Way", or rather "Comme d'habitude".

Oddly on all my Moog albums they are Titled as "Electric Coconut" with the more routine spelling. Some notes: "Electric Coconut are from Surrey (UK) & the driving forces behind this new sound are Len Hunter & Bill Wellings. I've been caught out before as there are a number of Moog knockoff albums which are identical to the Electric Coconut albums but are credited to other bands. ie. Popcorn & other Electronic Hits by "The Moog Synthesizer Sound" (AIM Records) is the same as Electric Coconut's "Popcorn & other switched-on Smash Hits" (AXIS, EMI) There are also a number of generic "Music World" "Moog Hits" LP's which have Hot Butter and Electric Cococut tracks on them "Ticker Tape - Big Hits Synthesiser Style" is another Electric Coconut one. (more originals on this one) Cheers!

She was 63. Born Kathryn Jewel Thorne, Ms. Webster first learned to play gospel and classical music. Her parents, wary of secular influences, kept the piano locked up so she couldn't play unsupervised. As a teen, she moved in with more agreeable relatives in south Louisiana and by age 15 became one of the most requested studio musicians in the region. Her music appears on more than 500 singles cut in the 1950s and 1960s. A young Otis Redding discovered her in 1964. She toured with him until his death in a 1967 plane crash that might have killed her. She couldn't fly because she was pregnant. Devastated, Ms. Webster essentially stopped performing until the early 1980s, when she took Europe by storm. She became a favorite in the U.S. blues festival circuit and recorded on the Chicago-based Alligator Records label with the likes of Robert Cray and Bonnie Raitt. A 1993 stroke severely damaged her eyesight and use of her left hand, but she continued to appear at select festivals. NEW YORK (AP) -- Lenon Hoyte, an art teacher who shared her dream of a doll museum with Harlem children and collectors from around the world, died Aug. 1. She was 94. Better known as Aunt Len, Ms. Hoyte officially opened her collection of dolls in 1974. Housed in a three-story brownstone she bought with her husband in 1938, the collection of Aunt Len's Doll and Toy Museum once numbered 6,000 dolls. Among them were a dozen versions of Shirley Temple, Barbie, Betsy Wetsy, presidents and their wives and black dolls, which are now highly sought by collectors because so few were made before the 20th century. After paying a modest entrance fee that never exceeded $2, visitors would encounter mannequins ranging from thumb-size to two or three feet tall. The museum remained open until the early 1990s when Ms. Hoyte was no longer able to care for it. In 1994, 700 of the finest antique dolls were auctioned at Sotheby's. Thousands more had been sold previously to dealers around the world. Ms. Hoyte taught art at a Bronx public high school for 41 years. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Thinkmatic@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Puttin' it out there Date: 09 Sep 1999 09:47:55 EDT To all you Keepers Of The Sacred Music: I just thought I'd toss it out there again.

Date: 09 Sep 1999 08:04:22 -0700 (PDT) MONTREAL (Reuters) - Celine Dion said Wednesday she plans to spend up to three years away from the music business, but not before issuing an album boasting a ``duet'' with Frank Sinatra and holding a New Year's Eve concert. At a news conference in Montreal, the first here since her husband Rene Angelil underwent surgery in April for skin cancer, Dion said her Dec. 31 concert in Montreal will be her last public performance ahead of the hiatus. ``I think the timing is super good for us to stop at the end of the year and to find ourselves with the people we love,'' she said, a few hours before beginning a two-night concert stand in Montreal. Dion, 30, said she hopes to stay away from show business for ``at least two years, maybe two-and-a-half, maybe three.'' She added that she simply wants to enjoy the break quietly at her homes in native French-speaking Quebec and Florida and to focus with her 56-year-old husband on trying to have a child. Dion canceled a series of concerts last spring to be with Angelil during six weeks of treatment for squamous cell carcinoma metastatic on the right side of his neck. ``There is no cancer in me right now. I feel great,'' Angelil told reporters. Angelil said Dion's new English-language album, entitled ''All the Way,'' will be released worldwide on Nov. 16. The title track is a virtual duet with Sinatra, who died last year. The album will include eight new songs and eight hits. Another compilation album, this time in French and with three new songs, will be released later, he said. ``Au coeur du stade,'' a live album recorded at Paris' Stade de France earlier this summer, will be released on Sept. 14. Angelil has managed Dion's career since she was a local teen singing sensation in the rural town of Charlemagne, near Montreal. The couple married in 1994. Dion's Montreal concert will feature such guests as local rocker Bryan Adams and Quebec comic Stephane Rousseau. An additional two hours of the show will feature much of the cast of the Luc Plamondon musical ``Notre Dame de Paris,'' which played to sold-out crowds in Paris and Montreal and is headed for an English-language production recording. Angelil said CBS television will broadcast 30 minutes of the Dec. 31 Montreal show. === "It's just my nature to do weird stuff." - Les Baxter Astroslut website: cuming soon! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You would think with the unusual mix of instruments that not much could be done in how the music is arranged but Rugolo is a master. The trombones are not all the same, apparently there are alto and tenor trombones just like saxophones. I never knew that. I'm going by memory now but is seems there were 5 different types of trombones, so that would make 2 of each to make up 10 trombones. And the album also had drums and, going by memory again, a bass to keep the beat. Found the 4 Freshman albums on the same day and in two different places. The first one I'm borrowing from my friend "Tony" and the "More" found for 50 cents at a thrift. Now to find the time to listen to them! Titles and numbers copied off the Space Age Pop Page (http://home.earthlink.net/~spaceagepop/) which has expanded. Noticed that Rugolo did 3 (!) albums with Patti Page. I recommend the one I have: In the Land of Hi-Fi and out on CD.

Ever see those Ultra Lounge displays in stores? It's a waist high cardboard martini glass and inside the glass is where they put the Ultra Lounge CD's. Well, I was in the Best Buy in Nashua NH and noticed they had one and I put in my "reservation" to take home the display once the promotion ended. So now I have a giant martini glass in my basement. More junk! ;') And guess what? I was not the only person who wanted it! But I think I have a use for it. Every spring the college I do my program "Martinis with Mancini" from broadcasts outdoors during the college Spring Festival. And occasionally their are other remote broadcasts. If you have ever seen the CD "Martinis with Mancini" you will notice that on the back of the CD their is a picture of Mr. Mancini sitting on a martini glass. I plan on scanning the picture and plotting it on our giant color printer at work. Gluing to some cardboard like some Star Wars or Star Trek character, and sitting him on top of the martini glass! I can bring this along and place it next to or near the remote air studio/ booth. A prop for my show! Is this a cry for help or what? ;') Oh, and last year at the festival one kid commented that my show sounded like a porno movie. I think he liked the music.

Do you know anything about these dudes? Or, where I could find the lowdown on them? Thanks in advance >> Claude Francois was one of the top French "Yeh-Yeh" singers of the '60s. He continued to do very groovy stuff, some with wild psychedellic arrangements into the later '60s (often times these were French translations or re-writes of top US and UK chart hits) when a lot of his fellow "Yeh-Yeh' singers either turned to more country flavored stuff (like Johnny Halliday) or just gave up. The song first appeared, I believe, in 1972 and it was called "Comme Habitude" (rough translation being "As Always"). My French is a little rusty, but after recently listening to the song the Paul Anka lyrics are far more dramatic and take the song in far more looking back on one's life direction than the orignal lyrics,in other words they are new lyrics rather than translations. Any Tower or larger record shop that has a good international section should have either a greatest hits or the reissue of the album "Comme Habitude" is on. If memory serves me right, Claud Francois died in the late '70s or early '80s in a freak accident where I think his hair dryer feel into his bath tub while he was using it, electocuting him.

The term "Yeh-Yeh" came about mainly because while the French pop/rock vocalists of the mid-60s would sing the lyrics to songs in French, there woul usually be a part of the song where the American/English "yeh" was uttered either in the chorus or just as a vocal effect.

Was it Jill=20 Mingo-go who was so fond of this LP? =20 I have excerpted this message for list viewing: This Monday, 13 September 1999 we will begin taking orders for Rhino=20 Handmade's fourth internet-only release: The re-issue -for the first time anywhere in 32 years- of SONNY BONO's only solo album "Inner Views". In 1967, with SONNY & CHER as hot as they would ever be, SONNY BONO recorded and released 'Inner Views'. His first -and only- solo album. It was then, and it remains, a very singular and unique listening experience. The opening track, the nearly thirteen-minute long opus grand=E9, "I Just Sit There", is the perfect example. Any song which has a sitar as its lead instrument, quotes from both "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic" and "A Day In The Life" within sixty seconds of each other, liberally uses faux-Dylanesque harmonica and organ stings throughout, rhymes "sturgeon" with "virgin" and thunders from your speakers with Sonny's own Wall (well, perhaps, Wallpaneling) Of Sound is just Absolutely A-OK with all of The Archivists here. They just don't make records like this anymore. Being that the SONNY BONO 'Inner Views' solo album is just 33-minutes long, we have filled out this CD with every SONNY BONO solo Atco single there ever was. From his first solo hit "Laugh At Me" (in fact, we've included the mono single-lyric version, the stereo album-lyric version and a previously unreleased original backing track recording session) through his cover versions of "Misty Roses" and "Cheryl's Going Home" to the shortened "radio friendly" re-edited single versions of many 'Inner Views' tracks which Atco's Entirely Too Optimistic Promotion Department then thought might Somehow Somewhere Someway become Big Hits. SONNY BONO "Inner Views" will be available in an individually-numbered limited edition of 1,500 (one thousand five-hundred) copies. It is NOT AVAILABLE in any store on the planet. It is available ONLY from Rhino Handmade.=20 It is available ONLY on The Internet at: http://www.rhinohandmade.com Our next Rhino Handmade release will be a limited edition=20 release of a collection of previously unissued TIM BUCKLEY studio recordings. # 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: cheryl Subject: (exotica) Playlist For Space Bop,September 12 Date: 11 Sep 1999 23:35:44 -0400 Beyond kitsch, Space Bop is one hour of full galactical wonder, and can be heard every Sunday from 4 to 5 pm on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, Canada, and on RealAudio (real time only, for now) at: http://www.ckut.ca As usual, all comments, questions, and feedback welcome.

But sometimes they change the price for a few hours in order to clear them out. During that time, the records are five dollars a bag. They say you can fit sixty five records in a bag. Moritz filled two bags till they were bursting. In other words, he bought approximately 130 records for ten bucks. (To be accurate, he didn't get 130 different records. He had at least eight copies of "Whipped Cream" and two or three copies of every other TJB delight.) As he struggled to reach the car, he was heard to say "This is the most records I've ever bought at one time". Then we went to another record store where the records were approximately a dollar each and he bought about fifteen more. I also bought records as well as finding them for him. (e.g. "Fire and Smoke" by the Three Suns) After returning to Montreal, where he's staying with - and buying records with - two other members of the list, he will be travelling to Boston for a visit. Apparently he was unaware that some of his favorite exotica listmembers lived in Boston. If those members are willing to meet him - and buy records with him - they should send somebody their phone numbers. (What am I, his agent?)

Magazine is out and its great! One of the articles touts a bunch of cool records including two from what looks to be a series on Columbia. It was an untitled series, but the moniker "Music in Motion" seems apropo. Each album has a little ( one or two square inches) moving image pasted onto the cover. I bought one of these a while back...broadway hits played instrumentally (sorry, don't have the specific info...I did write the list about it then). This article notes two others in the "series" which came out about 1960. One of them is apparently a great album by Johnny Williams (less than 20 years later to achieve fame as the composer of Star Wars music) featuring percussion and stereo effects. Anyone have any of these albums or others in the series? Today I heard a great version of House of Bamboo by Southern Culture on the Skids (on the lounge channel of Spinner). Their fact sheet leads me to believe this cool tune isn't their norm, so I guess I won't go out and my the album. Have you experienced this trio to know for sure?

Their lead guitarist, Rick Miller, has a great twangy way with instrumentals (surfy, though he doesn't use a Fender). Their bass player, Mary Huff, has the cooooolest voice, and usually only does one vocal per album (like "House of Bamboo," or my personal favorite "Daddy Was a Preacher, But Momma Was a Go Go Girl") They usually rock hard, and are quite funny ("Barnyard Ballbuster" is about a man/goat love affair), but not really loungy, excepting their instrumentals (one or two per record).

Well, i found a 4 figure money record in the trash and decided to keep it all and sort it. So, i've been shopping in my own stuff, going through records i havn't seen in 5 to 15 years. I think the good news for everyone here is that i've got a super shitload of book value $50 to $500 records that i will trade for weird stuff... it will take me about 3 to 6 months to get the full list together, but i will post as it comes together. In the spirit of the messages about thrift store finds, i will share a few finds from my own pile: Ananda Shankar white label promo MINT and great it is... Blonde on Blonde, rare pictures, white label promo (the money record). Action 69 (2 copies): fabulous army touring band doing really bad things with good (and bad) songs. If you see it get it! (orange gatefold). Carousel (1964 world's fair) (6 copies) a small label recording of very rare and very boss carousel. Some tracks the machine is very out of tune, adding to the indeterminacy and beauty of this almost found music. No jacket, no title: (10 copies) middle aged brooklyn man narrating a sex slide show, rubber stamped label on pale green. Must be heard to be believed. created a riot when played on Irwin's "incorrect music" show on WFMU. lots of university issued electronic records. a complete set of the BBC sound effects library. Lots of public service announcements, like sharon tate for the NRA etc. etc. about 200 records of this ilk are now parked on my couch, ready to be played and savored. I will also share this material via cdr, sometime in the year 2000. All right, i can brag once every 20 years, can't i? the conti family: 2 different records of this spectacular family act, signed of course. Another highly recommended terrible piece of vinyl... i will trade for other volumes (let me know if you've got any). for that matter, i will trade for anything that will make me laugh out loud... try me~! take care, citizen kafka -- Citizen Kafka, Producer, "The Secret Museum of the Air" NEW!: every Tuesday 6 to 7 PM EST WFMU 91.1 FM & WXHD (Hudson Valley) 90.1 FM http://www.megasaver.com/page2/smradio.html http://wfmu.org/ then go to 'listen to wfmu' # 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: delicado@cheerful.com Subject: (exotica) Seen on ebay!

I have two of these: "Voice in Motion," Simon Rady (who is??), Columbia CS 8465 Recorded May 3/11/14/17 1961 "Rhythm in Motion," by Johnny Williams, Columbia CS 8467 Recorded Apr 28/May 2/4, 1961 Both were recorded "in Columbia Records' new Hollywood, California studios." The Williams has a neat little rocking trumpet inset on the front (one of those things with the corrugated plastic on top); the Rady does not. I assume there must be at least one more (CS 8466). I wouldn't get as excited about the Williams as the writer in the "Cool & Strange Music" article did, but I would say it was superior stereo arranging.

Among Teo's other credits are a "Dueling Banjos" rip-off, the fun "Hits with a Hawaiian Punch" by the Coral Reef (Ray Conniff does "Summer Samba" in Honolulu), AND a whole string of Andre Kostelanetz albums. Surfing the 50 cent bins at my local Half-Price Books, I picked up Kostie's "Everything is Beautiful," Columbia C 30037, noticing that Teo produced and Dick Hyman was credited with two arrangements. To cut to the chase: last cut on Side One, a Hyman arrangement of the theme to the movie, "An Elephant Called Slowly." C'mon, we all remember this one ... not. Anyway, Nat, if you're on the prowl for great now sounds, this is a must. An absolutely terrific cut with loopy girl vocals, bouncing rhythm, brass, largely string syrup-free. Thanks, Teo, for the good work.

He was 85. Duquette, who died at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center, won a Tony Award for the costumes in the original Broadway production of ``Camelot''. His long career has ranged from designing sets and costumes for Fred Astaire musicals to creating rooms for clients such as the late J. Paul Getty, the Duchess of Windsor, cosmetics maker Elizabeth Arden and ``Gone With The Wind'' producer David O. Selznick. Duquette was inducted into Interior Design magazine's Hall of Fame in 1997, and was listed on the 59th annual International Best-Dressed Poll this year. Saturday, September 11, 1999; 11:39 p.m. EDT MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Alfredo ``El Guero'' Gil, the last surviving member of the original romantic trio Los Panchos, died Friday in Mexico City. He was 84 and had been suffering from pulmonary emphysema. Gil was born in the central state of Puebla and became a professional musician at age 15. In 1944, he was in New York when he linked up with two other musicians -- Chucho Navarro and Hernando Aviles of Puerto Rico -- to form Los Panchos, in which Gil played the ``requinto,'' a small guitar. The trio was known for its soft harmonics, particularly in the romantic bolero. Its emotional interpretations of ``Besame Mucho'' (Kiss Me), ``Quizas, Quizas, Quizas'' (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps) and ``Sin Ti'' (Without You) propelled them to international fame. The band appeared in more than 50 films during Mexico's ``Golden Era'' of cinema. With Gil's death Friday night, Mexico City radio stations devoted much of their programming to Los Panchos' songs. Gil is survived by his wife, Guadalupe Bedoy, and five children. Funeral services were held Saturday. KINDER, La. (AP) -- Beau Jocque, an accordian player who helped revitalize Louisiana's zydeco music, is dead of an apparent heart attack. He was 45. Jocque, whose given name was Andrus Espre, performed Thursday night in New Orleans, then drove 177 miles home to Kinder. His wife found him collapsed in the shower Friday morning. Jocque worked as a welder before picking up his father's piano-key accordion. In his version of zydeco, he combined rhythm-and-blues, hip-hop beats, funk and Texas blues-rock. He was credited with bringing zydeco, a mix of old-time cajun music and rhythm-and-blues, to contemporary audiences, filling halls in Lafayette, Lawtell, New Orleans and other cities where he often played with his band, the Zydeco Hi-Rollers. He also played overseas, and on the David Letterman and Conan O'Brien shows. When the 6-foot-6 Jocque played one of his big hits, ``Give Him Cornbread,'' audiences would pelt him with pieces of cornbread. Jocque is survived by his wife, Shelly Espre, and two sons. OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- John Molloy, an Irish actor and novelist, died Sept. 2 after a long illness. He was 70. Born in Dublin, Molloy ran away from home at 14 to join a troupe of actors that roamed the country performing in small towns, and later worked with Marcel Marceau in Paris and with the Gate and Abbey theatres in Dublin. At the Abbey, he specialized in the works of Samuel Beckett. Molloy appeared in some 60 movies and played Broadway in his own two-man show, ``Double Dublin,'' in 1963-64. He wrote 39 revues, two musicals, many TV and radio plays and a best-selling novel, ``Alive, Alive-O.'' He is best known in the San Francisco Bay area for his one-man show, ``Molloy,'' a hit of the San Francisco International Theatre Festival in 1981, but worked through the 1980s with a series of local solo shows. Molloy is survived by his nine children: five sons and four daughters. LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Ruth Roman, who starred opposite Gary Cooper and Errol Flynn and survived the Andrea Doria wreck at sea, died in her sleep Thursday. She was 75. In 1956, she and her 3-year-old son were returning from Italy aboard the luxury passenger liner Andrea Doria when it was struck by another ship. More than fifty people died and 760 survived after the ship went down. The Boston-born actress got her start in community plays at age 9. She attended drama school and later moved to Hollywood. Roman appeared in some minor films before her big break in Stanley Kramer's 1949 ``Champion,'' which featured Kirk Douglas as an unscrupulous boxer. Following the film, Warner Bros. offered Roman a contract and she starred in nine films in less than two years opposite Cooper, Flynn and James Stewart. Roman also appeared in ``Beyond the Forest'' with Bette Davis, ``Three Secrets'' with Patricia Neal and ``Mara Maru'' with Flynn. Roman appeared in more than 30 movies, most of them in the 1950s, and a number of television shows in the 1960s and 1970s. NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Eugene ``Frenchy'' Schwartz, a fixture at racetracks as a clocker of thoroughbreds for nearly 50 years died Wednesday following a long illness. He was 97. Schwartz began his career at Omaha in 1933 and went on to time horses during workouts at tracks in New Orleans, Ohio and at Hollywood Park in California before working at New York tracks in 1949. He retired his clocker's watch in January 1982, but remained a familiar sight at racetracks. # 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: dciccone@inspex.com Subject: (exotica) Used CD shopping in NYC Date: 13 Sep 1999 10:27:46 -0400 Spent Saturday and part of Sunday going used CD hunting in NYC. Thanks to La Jane for giving me some hints on were to go (St. Marks Place and Other Music). Talked to one of the owners of Other Music about the upcoming AstroSlut release and to make sure he stocks it. At first shopping was frustrating, everything was priced over the 10 dollars used. One store even already had the new Esquivel re-release, a promo, and he was asking $12 for it. Checked out Etherea on 66 Ave A, lot of electronic music but what was really neat was the space age bachelor pad store next door that has some furniture, kitchen and bar utensils, Aluminum coasters with fur on top to soak up the condensation... But what was really neat was St. Marks Place (8th Ave on the Lower East Side) a street with lots of used disk and record stores, too many to keep track, and here the prices started getting reasonable. I might have spent $9 for a disk, but most were 5-7 dollars. The 2CD Talkin' Verve for $13. LP's? forget it, everywhere it was through the roof, nothing remotely interesting under $4. I kept seeing things I got for a dollar costing $13. At one store the Readers Digest Henry Mancini boxed set went for $40. I got it somewhere for maybe $1.50. At the used place across from the Blue Note I saw a signed Esquivel Strings Aflame for $500. The only LP I got was a Sergio Franchi LP with Autumn Leaves on it. Found in a flea market. Here's what I picked up. Rugrats Movie, The OST The Rugrats Movie Harris Eddie, The In Sound Lester, Sonny, Orchestra And Chorus, How To Strip For Your Lover (don't buy this unless you like lite jazz, nothing like the old Ann Corio Strip for your Husband) Bregman, Buddy, Swinging Kicks Brown Oscar Jr. Mr. Oscar Brown Jr. Goes To Washington Ultra Lounge, Volume 07 The Crime Scene Guaraldi Vince, Greatest Hits Four Freshman, Collectors Series Ahbez Eden, Eden's Island Prysock Arthur, Morning Noon And Night The Collection Perrey And Kingsley , The Essential Perrey And Kingsley Talkin' Verve, Compilation (2CD's) Jones Quincy, Quincy Jones And His Orchestra, The Quintessence Heath Ted, Big Band Percussion/Big Band Bash Iron Giant, OST The Iron Giant Schifrin, Lalo Schifrin, Talkin' Verve Mancini Henry, The Music From Peter Gunn Swing This, Baby!

(more about this later) The folks at Smash Compact Disks were nice. Gary the owner put on their opened copy of Perrey And Kingsley's Strangers in the Night. When he saw my jaw drop he let me have it for used. The back of the store was a nice Lounge section, small but prominently displayed on the wall. It almost looked like a shrine. And they threw in the second Ultra Lounge promo, the radio one, for free!

Why yes, I do happen to have it. It is from the MPF record label in the Black Forest which stands for Most Perfect Sound. Its a double CD. It is about as Easy as easy gets. To give you an idea, it has the stamp of approval in the liner notes written by Joseph Lanza (Elevator Music/History of The Cocktail) who takes the opportunity to bash the Jazzbos of the world while praising easy easy and damning a culture which knee-jerkedly has rejected it for what he sees is the politically correct stance taken by rockers toward anything that doesn't rock.

Nit-picky point #3: Just to be totally clear -- this is NOT a reissue of previously released vinyl records. MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. features 1950s-60s RS recordings that have never been issued before (except as soundtracks to films, etc.). By the way, these recordings are COMPLETELY electronic (no bands nor traditional instruments). In addition to the 2 CDs of music, MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. also includes a beautiful 125-page full-color hardcover book!

This collection of ultra-rare footage will showcase a unique collection of filmed musical performances from a variety of offbeat jazz, pop, and rock artists from around the globe. The films come from a variety of sources, including very early TV shows, film jukeboxes from the 1940s ("Soundies") and 1960s ("Scopitones"), and select feature film clips. This follow-up to Wednesday's EXOTICA MUSIC FILMS program features 100% different programming -- little of which is likely to have been seen before by anybody attending! All of the films will be projected from 16mm film prints onto a giant movie screen (not video). The screening begins at 8:00 pm. Just some of the performers shown on the big screen will include: Astrud Gilberto, The Jimmy Smith Trio, Desi Arnaz, Sylvie Vartan, Johnny Hallyday and Ethel Smith. Adding extra spice to this celluloid smorgasboard is a selection of equally arcane short subjects, without musicians but plenty of exoticism: Technicolor travelogues of Caribbean isles, coming attraction "trailers" for Maria Montez movies, a 1920s silent film on "Ceylon Devil Dancers and Buddas," and a look at tiki carving and other customs of the South Seas. Plus, scenes from a never-shown-in-the-U.S. French TV special, WORLD MUSIC ET SETECT, featuring organ jazz/pop-rock instro combo Andr=E9 Brasseur et so= n Orchestre, Peter Max-like animation and pop-art special effects.=20 PLUS, a sampling of DISK JOCKEY TV TOONS. These lost artifacts from early 50s broadcasting were marketed to local television stations for use as filler programming during Hit Parade-type shows. The low-budget, bizarre visualizations are essentially ROCK VIDEOS WITH NO SOUNDTRACKS, and were made to be shown with suggested popular records. And if all this weren't enough, there will be a special talk about the history of film jukeboxes by Secret Cinema curator Jay Schwartz, illustrated with color slides of rare photos and original advertising materials.=20 Ticket stubs from any "Three Nights With Secret Cinema" screening will be good for a dollar off the price of admission to Saturday night's "Planet Tiki: Bongos By The Bay" party, featuring Preston Epps and several other exotica music and novelty acts, d.j.'s and tiki art exhibits.

Sitcom Rock showcases special episodes of classic situation comedies from the past -- all featuring rock band guest stars and/or rock n' roll storylines. The shows will be projected in 16mm on a giant screen, from rare, original film prints (not video). The program begins at 9:00 pm. The situation comedy, television's equivalent to the "two reeler" comedy shorts that played movie bills for decades, reached a certain summit by the mid-'60s, the same time that rock music achieved its long-lasting position as the predominant music of its time. It was only natural that these bizarre worlds would collide. Highlights of Sitcom Rock will include: THE MUNSTERS: The Munsters agree to rent out their house to a touring rock group (The Standells). When they return, they find a way-out beatnik party in progress, but Herman soon gets in the spirit and tries out some impromptu beat poetry (The Standells, in a pre-"Dirty Water" phase, perform "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "Do The Ringo"). THE FLINTSTONES: In "Shinrock-a-Go-Go," then-popular rock showcase SHINDIG and its host Jimmy O'Neill are caricatured, as are San Francisco's genius folk-rock/beat group The Beau Brummels. Fred inadvertently invents a new dance craze, "The Flintstone Flop," as "The Beau Brummelstones" play their hit "Laugh Laugh." THE MOTHERS-IN-LAW: In a special episode of this somewhat-forgotten series about the trials of two pairs of middle-agers coping with their married offspring, the older set have a go at managing wild primitive rockers Sky Saxon and The Seeds! This amazing show was directed by Desi Arnaz, and also features Joe Besser of The Three Stooges (what a meeting of the minds!). THE BRADY BUNCH: The ever-popular Brady kids perform "It's a Sunshine Day" on a TV talent contest as "The Silver Platters." Other shows to be screened are MY THREE SONS (Chip's rock band gets help from visiting Brit Jeremy Clyde of Chad & Jeremy), and THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW (Opie's garage band play their first gig at a teen party). There will be more surprises, and between reels, an all-TV rock soundtrack will be played, including records by The Monkees, The Archies, and The Yellow Balloon (featuring Don Grady from MY THREE SONS).

Simmons,Tony Duquette Date: 14 Sep 1999 09:43:35 -0400 PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) -- David Karp, a novelist, screen and television writer, died Saturday of bladder cancer. He was 77. He was one of a group of writers such as Paddy Chayesky, Horton Foote, Rod Serling and others, whose careers flourished during the 1950's ``golden age'' of television writing. Until the 1970s, Karp was a frequent contributor to such dramatic series as ``The Untouchables.'' He was also the author of several television series and movies. He was an accomplished novelist who published more than a half-dozen books. His most successful novel, ``One,'' was a political science fiction story. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Stanley M. Simmons, who designed sets and costumes for Broadway shows and ballets, died Sept. 4 of heart failure. He was 71. The designer created costumes for the original production of Tennessee Williams' ``Garden District'' and ``Bar of a Tokyo Hotel'' and for such musicals as ``Show Boat,'' ``The King and I,'' ``Brigadoon'' and ``Lena: The Lady and Her Music.'' He also designed costumes and sets for ``Coppelia'' and costumed major American ballet companies, including the Joffrey Ballet. He also collaborated with the choreographers Agnes de Mille and Jerome Robbins and worked on sets for ballet and opera productions at the Vienna State Opera and Spoleto Festival. Simmons was known for creating dance costumes that embodied the essence of ballet, such as the free-flowing dress in Eliot Feld's ``Meadowlark.'' His television credits include the Emmy Award-winning Shirley MacLaine special ``Gypsy in My Soul.'' September 14, 1999 Tony Duquette, 85, a Decorator of Fantasy By JULIE V. IOVINE, NYTimes Tony Duquette, the designer whose lavish, whimsically baroque sets and costumes, interiors and jewelry made him a Hollywood favorite for more than five decades, died on Sept. 9. He was 85. The cause of his death, at the University of California at Los Angeles Medical Center, was complications from a heart attack, said Hutton Wilkinson, his business partner of 30 years. Exotic excess was the signature of the Tony Duquette style. "He was the only man who could spend $999 in a 99-cent store," Wilkinson said. Part sly conjurer, part satin-robed aesthete, Duquette was concerned with the dazzling effect of his designs, often using unabashedly cheap materials. At his Hollywood Hills studio, a roomful of 18th-century French antiques sat amid gilded trees beneath a ceiling studded with glued-on gold plastic serving trays. His talent for overdoing it was appreciated by clients who had acquired their own sense of the grandiose, among them Vincente Minnelli, Doris Duke, Mary Pickford, J. Paul Getty, David O. Selznick and the duchess of Windsor. "He was doing fantasy from the moment he began, and remained committed to his vision no matter what the fashion of the day dictated," said Liz O'Brien, a New York dealer in 20th-century decorative arts. Anthony Michael Duquette (the name is pronounced due-KETT) was born in Los Angeles on June 11, 1914. The oldest of four children, Duquette "always just was what he was -- artistic, driven," said his sister, Jeanne Newman. When he was 12, he entertained his siblings with a puppet show of "Scheherazade," making all the costumes himself. The toy houses he built were romantically lighted with birthday candles. After high school, he attended the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles on a scholarship. His first job was as a designer at Bullock's department store. As a freelancer, he also worked for the Hollywood designers Billy Haines and James Pendleton. During World War II, he served as a private in the U.S. Army. In 1949, he married Elizabeth Johnstone, an artist and eager contributor to the Duquette vision. He called her Beegle, and the nickname stuck. Duquette liked to say that he was discovered by Lady Mendl (who had become famous as an interior decorator as Elsie de Wolfe) when, in her 80s, she decamped from her villa in France to a villa in Los Angeles to avoid the war. "I want you to make me a meuble," Lady Mendl commanded, putting the word "furniture" into French, after admiring a jewel-bedecked plaster and glass centerpiece that Duquette had designed for a dinner party. Impressed with the result, a black-lacquered secretary with Moors set against a mirrored background festooned with Venetian glass flowers, she began to promote her new discovery to clients, friends and influential editors. Their collaboration lasted until her death, in 1951. Duquette became president of the Elsie de Wolfe Foundation and at the time of his death he was organizing an auction of the foundation's Elsie de Wolfe collections, to be held at Christie's in Los Angeles next week. It did not take long for Duquette to become established as a celebrity decorator, furniture and jewelry maker, and set designer. He furnished a castle for Elizabeth Arden, designed his first piece of jewelry for the duchess of Windsor and built sets for Vincente Minnelli's lavish movies "Ziegfeld Follies of 1944" and "Yolanda and the Thief," with Fred Astaire (1945). He won a Tony award for best costumes for the original 1961 Broadway production of "Camelot." In the late 1940s, he was given a one-man show at the Pavillon de Marsan in the Louvre. But his own lavishly theatrical homes were perhaps his most astonishing creations. The house on his 175-acre Malibu ranch, named Sortilegium, was an architectural collage of Oriental and Georgian motifs interlarded with bits of unexpected exotica: a window from Greta Garbo and John Gilbert's love nest, a Venetian gondola, and a set of 18th-century doors presented to him and his wife by Mary Pickford and Buddy Rogers as a wedding present. It was destroyed by fire in 1993. Another home, Dawnridge, was a villagelike compound with Balinese pavilions and grand Venetian salons, the whole spiced with 18th-century Chinese window carvings. Duquette also enjoyed creating what he called celebrational environments. His most famous installation, dedicated in the 1980s, was in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of San Francisco, where Duquette had gained a large following with his opera sets and decorations for debutante balls. The Duquette Pavilion of St. Francis consisted of a room crowded with monumental 28-foot metal sculptures of archangels and giant jewel-studded tapestries. It, too, was destroyed by fire, in 1989. His wife died in 1995. In addition to his sister, Ms. Newman of La Canada, Calif., Duquette is survived by a brother, Frank Duquette of Palm Springs, Calif. Projects he was working on at the time of his death included rooms in the Palazzo Brandolini in Venice, Italy, and a jewelry collection for Gucci. "Decorating is not a surface performance," Duquette once said, "It's a spiritual impulse, inborn and primordial." # 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: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) bird calls by humans Date: 14 Sep 1999 11:13:10 -0400 Somebody on this list "collects" records with bird calls. I bought a couple of LP's for that person, if he/she wants them. They're by Lorin Whitney and Ralph Platt. Lorin plays the pipe organ and Ralph does the bird calls. Maybe that doesn't fit into a "bird call collection". Maybe it has to be real birds. But if you're that person and this fits into your collection, lemme know and I'll send them to you.

I think "Album" originally referred to a collection of songs recrded on 78's and stored in a book-like album, while "Record" was a term that referred to the recording, but eventually aqcuired the meaning of the physical object, as in, "There is a record missing from Les Baxter album!" Yes? (I'm asking... somebody help me out here.) If the above is true, then I would conclude that "Album" can be accurately applied to any collection of songs whether it's on Cassette, 8-Track, LP *Record,* CD, whatever, while "Record" carries the cannotation of a vinyl disk.

So, from shellac to vinyl and cardboard in between, they were all records. It's now a matter of usage more than nomenclature; is a CD a record? It sort of feels like it to me, but then i've used the term to refer to all disc recordings for about 45 years or so (even, to a lesser extent, to cassettes and 8-tracks, as in, "did you catch Bobby Hebb's latest record?"). To someone 16 years old, what is a record? You know this ends up as a sort of reverse snobbism, eh? Just remember, shellac REALLY rules!

But, actually, the primary meaning of the noun record in the early part of the 20th century was a gathering of information on some medium. When Al Smith, Governor of New York, said "Let's look at the record" he wasn't referring to a flat disc recording (although Mad magazine differs on that point) but to a body of knowledge found in newspapers and the like. In fact, you may still find newspapers called something like "The Daily Record." They didn't mean flat disc recordings of audio information. Cylinders were never mass-produced so did not have a big following (I don't think anyone ever found a way to mass produce a single recording on cylinder). I believe that once recordings were mass produced and the industry took off, the word record was used more often for those flat discs until the noun record was most synonymous with those flat discs and little else. If cylinders had "taken off" you might have found the term record applied to them as well. I personally am looking forward to getting the quadrophonic version of Astroslut on a wire recording!

It's apparent that the changing meanings will bring with it a little bit of confusion no matter WHAT you do, so you might as well take a leadership role and use your bully-pulpit to help shape the usage. If you want to hedge your bet, try this: "New Album now available on CD." ...or something. If CD becomes the preferred term, than we will have this discussion every time a new medium (and BELIEVE ME, the format wars are just getting started) we will have this dilemma. "Hey guys, I just downloaded the new Astroslut MP9...er...CD...Ah HELL... Their new *album*!" For the moment, "album" does carry a cannotation of the vinyl disk, but less so than "record."

So an album can manifest itself on LP, CD, cassette, 8-track, 78 set or whatever. Maybe this view comes from growing up in the days when 8-tracks and then cassettes were popular.

You'll experience the sweet, relaxing music of: American Radio Warblers (Canary Songsters) Ya gotta see the photo, Preston Sellers sits at his organ, surrounded by 10-12 cages of canaries and plays, they sing, all of this broadcast. Great stuff, late 40's i'd guess... Fred Lowery (a number of these tracks include vocals by Dorothy Rae) Sybil Sanderson Fagan Golden Voiced Canaries Hartz Mountain Parakeet Training and Canaries in song Duck calling Reichs Aviary The Birdcall Game a real early one, name is Guido, record not with me now for full name Another early one, Alma Gluck (love the name), did not make it due to poor sound 24 tracks in all. these are clean 78's and no attempt to clean the digitized audio was made. for best results, adjust your treble. Volume 1 is being redone ("Whistles Like The Birds") and will be all LP's and 45's. Totally inspired and blown away by Citizen Kafka's "Vox Populi" CD-R, I'm even considering a 16 page booklet. More details on all of this upon completion. Thanks for the heads up, most likely that I have those Platt records, Nat. On the Sacred label? Of course, i recommend them highly. :) I'm still on the lookout for one called "Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing", or something like that. By an older woman named Miles (last name).

(AP) -- Harry Crane, co-creator of Jackie Gleason's classic 1950s sitcom ``The Honeymooners'' and comedy writer for Red Skelton, the Marx Brothers, Bing Crosby and others, died Tuesday of cancer. He was 85. The writer, who worked on movies as well as TV, had another link to Hollywood: He was the grandfather of actresses Melissa Gilbert (``Little House on the Prairie'') and Sara Gilbert (``Roseanne''). The native of New York City was 19 when he started performing stand-up comedy. He was recruited by MGM as a screenwriter, earning his first credit on ``Air Raid Wardens'' (1943), starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. He and Joe Bigelow were staff writers for ``Cavalcade of Stars'' when Gleason, the variety show's new host, asked for help in developing a sketch. Gleason told the writers he wanted to play an ``everyday working stiff'' who lived with his long-suffering wife in a little Brooklyn flat, according to the book ``Classic Sitcoms.'' The two created a scene involving squabbling Ralph and Alice Kramden, and the couple became a variety show mainstay for Gleason and then in 1955 the basis for the 39-episode sitcom ``The Honeymooners.'' HOUSTON (AP) -- Cleveland ``Big Cat'' Williams, whose career highlight was a 1966 bout against heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, died Friday after being struck by a car while crossing the street on Sept. 3. He was 66. Williams overcame tremendous odds to face Ali in the Astrodome on Nov. 14, 1966. A year and a half before stepping into the ring against Ali, the fighter quarreled with a Texas state trooper during a traffic stop. The officer shot Williams in the midsection, leaving the boxer with lifelong kidney problems. He eventually lost to Ali in a three-round knockout. He was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in Commerce, Calif., in 1997. LONDON (AP) -- Charles Crichton, a director of comedy films in the 1940s and 1950s who made a resurgence with ``A Fish Called Wanda,'' died Tuesday at his home in the London neighborhood of South Kensington after a short illness, said his son, David Crichton. He was 89. Crichton directed 1946's ``Hue and Cry,'' the first so-called Ealing comedy, named after the west London film studio. One of his best-loved Ealing productions was 1951's ``The Lavender Hill Mob,'' a classic about a timid bank clerk played by Alec Guinness who schemes to get even with his employer by masterminding a foolproof robbery. It featured a young Audrey Hepburn in one of its opening scenes. Crichton directed a steady stream of films throughout the '50s, but his career hit a setback in 1962 when an argument with producer-star Burt Lancaster during the making of ``Birdman of Alcatraz'' caused him to quit in mid-production. ``He Who Rides a Tiger,'' directed in 1965, wound up being his last feature film for 23 years, until John Cleese enticed him out of television work to direct ``A Fish Called Wanda.'' In 1989, at the age of 78, Crichton was nominated for an Academy Award as best director for ``Wanda,'' a comedy starring Cleese, Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis that rollicked along in the best Ealing tradition. # 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) Bostonians only have a little more than a week...

Yes, they sometimes called cylinders "records." Cylinders were mass produced, first by Thomas Lambert in 1900-1905 and then by Edison, 1902-1929, and Columbia, 1902-1909, and many other companies. They were sold in the millions! Whoever said that doesnt' know what they're talking about. ~~~~~~~~~~ note that i was also wrong, in that cylinders WERE called records. Here is Allen's website, which is a monster resource about cylinders and early recording history: http://members.aol.com/allenamet/PhonoBooks.html ---------------- And Byron writes... Which is why we discuss these things here to get the word...although I don't think I was substantially wrong. Everything I have read said that you could not mass produce one identical recording. Perhaps this was before the turn of the century and someone figured out a way to make a master cylinder from which you could stamp thousands or even millions of copies...but I'd have to read from "the experts" to learn more. Perhaps millions of cylinders were sold, but also millions of different performances. I was speaking of a mass production of a single recording. I think Mr. Koenigsberg is just a little bit touchy about his favorite medium. Just empirically comparing the process used to create flat discs, I would not think that mass production of a single performance would be possible. One performance would be recorded acoustically on dozens of machines, each making a near identical record of the performance. If the company wanted to make more cylinders, the performance would have to repeated. This is unlike the true mass production process where you could record a single disc, create a stamping disc from that and then stamp as many copies as necessary. While many people bought cylinders, I don't think the process allowed for a large number to hear the exact same performance. I still think this prevented the true mass media experience records later began to enjoy.

Hardin), composer, Beat poet and street musician, died in Münster, Germany, on September 8 aged 83. He was born in Marysville, Kansas, on May 26, 1916. FOR the best part of 30 years, the gaunt, bearded figure of a blind man in a Viking helmet, home-made robe and sandals, distributing his printed poems, music and diatribes while clutching a fearsome-looking spear, was a familiar sight around the junction of 6th Avenue and 54th Street in New York. Using the name Moondog, in honour of a pet which used to howl at night, Louis T. Hardin was one of the more extraordinary characters of the city's streets. Not only was Hardin an accomplished poet and songwriter, but he was a composer and percussionist, a friend of musicians from Toscanini to Charlie Parker, and an icon of the Beat movement. Janis Joplin had a hit with one of his songs, and others were used in film soundtracks or as advertising jingles. It was assumed by many Americans that he had disappeared or died after leaving his familiar territory in 1974, and the 1994 Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music concluded its article on Moondog with "nothing has been heard of this remarkable and enigmatic poet for several years". In fact, he had been invited to Germany to perform his music, and when he got there he simply stayed. He found an amanuensis, Mrs Ilona Sommer, who transcribed his work and published his compositions, although she did not deter him from venturing back out on the streets to perform. In due course she persuaded him to discard his Viking garb, but not before it had prevented him from being admitted to a New York Philharmonic rehearsal of one of his pieces. In old age Hardin liked to direct performances of his music from the bass drum, on which he pounded out a beat while loudly declaiming his poems. On a rare return visit to the United States in 1989 to conduct a programme of his music by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, he spurned the rostrum in order to direct from the percussion section. It was the same story when he came to the BBC studios in Maida Vale in 1995 to record several of his pieces with the French pianist Dominique Ponty for Radio 3's Impressions. Against a backdrop of his jazz-inflected rhythmic pieces such as Art of the Canon No 13 or Oo Debut, he forcefully laid down bass drum rhythms and passionately declaimed his words. Hardin, the son of a church minister, lost his sight in an accident in 1932, and completed his education at the Iowa School for the Blind. He became an accomplished musician, and after arriving in New York, befriended the conductor Artur Rodzinski. Playing a variety of percussion instruments, Hardin earned his living as a street entertainer, and his stage-door acquaintances included famous jazz musicians in the clubs on 52nd Street as well as symphonic musicians and conductors a few blocks away at Carnegie Hall. Both these types of music were incorporated into his own compositions, which he began to record on an ad hoc basis in the 1950s. In particular, the Prestige label, which had Miles Davis and Charlie Parker on its roster, recorded pieces such as Broadway and 52nd Street: the Jazz Corner of The World, as well as distinctly more eccentric works such as a duet for bamboo flute and the whistle of the liner Queen Elizabeth. The first of Hardin's many "discoveries" came when the disc jockey Alan Freed adopted his Moondog Symphony as a theme tune. Hardin deterred him with legal action, but continued to make occasional discs, including arranging an album of Mother Goose songs for Julie Andrews and recording his influential 1969 LP Moondog. This was an immediate success among the Beat movement, and its repetitive rhythms and simple counterpoint made it a forerunner of the work of Minimalists such as Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Terry Riley. Hardin maintained that he adopted his regular, cyclic rhythmic style from attending native North American dances as a child, and he recalled performing with a Blackfoot troupe in Idaho in the 1940s. In due course, he integrated his rhymes and chants into his pieces as an additional contrapuntal texture, alongside increasingly dense and complex melodic lines. From the 1950s he composed by writing instrumental parts in braille, but tended never to produce full scores as he felt this involved too much work. He recorded more than a dozen albums of his music. He was twice married and is survived by two daughters. # 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: "Rajnai, Charles, NNAD" Subject: (exotica) Jane's dumb question of the day...

"Cylinders were never mass-produced so did not have a big following (I don't think anyone ever found a way to mass produce a single recording on cylinder)." 2) I'm not certain, and contact Allen Koenigsberg, a noted authority (see his website for details on the world of cylinders and early phonographs): http://members.aol.com/allenamet/PhonoBooks.html Allen responds: "Yes, they sometimes called cylinders 'records.' Cylinders were mass produced, first by Thomas Lambert in 1900-1905 and then by Edison, 1902-1929, and Columbia, 1902-1909, and many other companies. They were sold in the millions!" 3) I send Byron this response, with my comment that: "[Byron's] message, below, is substantially and factually wrong." 4) Byron hunkers down in a defensive crouch and retorts: "Which is why we discuss these things here to get the word...although I don't think I was substantially wrong. Everything I have read said that you could not mass produce one identical recording. Perhaps this was before the turn of the century and someone figured out a way to make a master cylinder from which you could stamp thousands or even millions of copies...but I'd have to read from "the experts" to learn more. Perhaps millions of cylinders were sold, but also millions of different performances. I was speaking of a mass production of a single recording. I think Mr. Koenigsberg is just a little bit touchy about his favorite medium. Just empirically comparing the process used to create flat discs, I would not think that mass production of a single performance would be possible. One performance would be recorded acoustically on dozens of machines, each making a near identical record of the performance. If the company wanted to make more cylinders, the performance would have to repeated. This is unlike the true mass production process where you could record a single disc, create a stamping disc from that and then stamp as many copies as necessary. While many people bought cylinders, I don't think the process allowed for a large number to hear the exact same performance. I still think this prevented the true mass media experience records later began to enjoy." Byron Caloz Portland, Oregon, USA, Earth, Sol, Milky Way http://www.hubris.net/zolac The Mr. Smooth site: http://www.hubris.net/zolac/smooth 5) Allen replies: "the truth is the truth. In 1900, cylinders were able for the first time to be coated with plumbago (powdered graphite), and then coated with copper, electrolytically. When the wax master was melted out, the metal shell was a perfect copy of the original performance, and hundreds or thousands of cylinders could then be replicated from the mold (by pouring molten wax). Each of these commercial cylinders sold to the public would be identical. In 1902, Edison began to coat the master wax cylinder with a thin coating of gold. This allowed for more accurate moulding of the sound, and copper was only added to the outer shell for strength. Once the mould existed, they could be used over and over again to make identical recordings. I believe the term is "mass-production." What does "touchy" have to do with it - either the process can be explained scientifically and accurately or it can't. No doubt your correspondent is referring to the situation in the 1890s when production of cylinders was limited, and pantographing was used to make copies. In those days, there were indeed multiple performances (not millions!). But pantographed copies would also be identical, until the master wore out from the process. If mass production did not exist, there is no way that Edison, Columbia and Pathe could have issued so many millions of cylinders, year in and year out. The term is not called "stamping, but "moulding". The process could be used for wax as well as celluloid. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Anything other than the above is "substantially wrong." allen koenigsberg 6) I remind Byron and all of us that this chain reaction started with a patently incorrect statement, stated firmly as fact, as part of a discussion on this list. If i had not responded privately to Byron this would have passed unchallenged and perhaps many folks on this list, who take our correspondence as informed, would perpetuate this historical inaccuracy. There is way too much bull on the internet; we need to be a bit careful. Not that Byron was pitching bull, exactly, but more like kicking it around. Hypothesizing without any factual information is storytelling, which is entertaining but not edifying. Information of this sort is readily available from solid sources, both on the internet and in research libraries and from collectors and archivists. 7) I close by saying that this is a pet peeve of mine, and I'm surprised that Byron, who seems to do a lot of substantial research (see his site http://www.hubris.net/zolac/smooth for details) would have laid this out.

When manufacturing the Planet Cook mini LP, it clocked in at over 17 minutes so 45 rpm or no, it was a 12", it was an LP. I don't know how the time was arrived at. This was before the blue room, and I think the Orb were just pushing their luck. As for country 'Albums' being scant, I recall from a magazine article that this is due to royalties, if you record more than a certain number of songs the royalties for the extra songs come out of the artists cut. Not so important if you're getting writing credits, but Country is probably the last area where there is a thriving songwriter industry, separate from the recording artists. back to the LP/Single etc I suppose one of us could contact a pressing plant and ask.

Possibly, there isn't even an actual Pupi Prado -- just a marketing department fabrication maybe? Musically it's standard budget label cha-cha/Latin stuff. Nice enough. In classic budget label mode, the track listings on the cover and label don't agree. While playing this record, my stylus disintegrated. I mean, it really went... there's nothing but a stump left! I don't know if the record did it, or if the needle's number was simply up, but it sure died big-time. The record's condition really didn't (and doesn't) look all that bad to me. No major scratches -- just the usual flea market wear.

Date: 17 Sep 1999 14:06:58 EDT Greetings Exoticans! Well, Floyd roared past Charleston about 60 miles from the coast. We had some hurricane (altho very mild) force winds. Being on the western side of a hurricane is much better than being on the east or north side. There are a good many trees down around our area but no major damage like after Hurricane Hugo in 1989 (ten years ago Sept 21 -- that was a helluva blast!). My exotica albums rode out the storm quite nicely in a high closet at my mother's house. We had a generator so we had TV, radio and STEREO ! ! ! Everything seems to be approaching normal again. I have re-hung my framed Exotica album covers, unpacked the vinyl and am currently listening to a little Les Baxter. Oh, and on that note, I played a few versions of "Moon Over Manakoora" (sp??) during the hurricane (but I did not strap myself to a tree). I want to thank all of those List members who so kindly sent me emails of encouragement. Now, if I can just catch up on 3 days backlog of Exotica List postings. Outta the "bad eye" of the storm, and back in my little grass hut, (and heard in the background: "shooka-shooka-shooka" [the sound of a Mai Tai WITH ice!]), Tiki Bob # 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) Friday in SF, 6-9 pm Date: 17 Sep 1999 09:21:00 -1000 Ottotemp@aol.com wrote: > > The 1st San Francisco author signing for the eargerly awaited large format > book "Leeteg of Tahiti, Paintings from the Villa Velour" by John Turner, > will be held at the Bamboo Hut, 479 Broadway, on Friday September 17, > between 6 and 8.

Should be fun, though I can't imagine how a film was made of that book... >> yes, this has been discussed a little. mr. denny went to Seattle about 1.5 months ago for a "wrap" party. he indicated to me that he was very excited about this movie coming out (and nicely compensated too for his work). i think there are about 16 of his original songs in the movie. unfortunately, i have not been able to find an opening date for this movie. and, sorrily, the reviews i have seen from some film festivals are not too good. actually they are horrible. hopefully they will not "yank" this movie before it is released. and, if ever there is a hard novelist to take to the silver screen, it is vonnegut. regards, tiki bob # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Byron Caloz and misinformation Date: 17 Sep 1999 21:17:25 EDT In a message dated 9/15/99 8:56:38 PM Pacific Daylight Time, ckafka@dti.net writes: << 8) Rant over. citizen kafka >> i love this list. tb # 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: "Andrew Grant" Subject: Re: (exotica) elvis sinatra?

He stands with a microphone and sings in front of a big screen TV which is playing a video tape of his pre-recorded music and backup singers. (I guess this way he doesn't have to pay them for each show?) He does covers as well as original tunes -- not bad.

Date: 18 Sep 1999 00:18:48 +0000 Hey listers...I have been in email correspondence with Ferrante & Teicher's manager, and the amazing news is that the duo are rehearsing for a PREPARED PIANO, tape-loop-type piano recording!! According to the manager "No easy-listening here--they're gonna come out slugging!" No program as of yet. First time recording together in over 10 years. That just made my year. While on the F&T tip, does anyone out there have a crisp copy of SOUNDBLAST (not soundproof!) they would be willing to trade exotic goodies for? I'll really make it sweet for ya; I'm moving abroad in a month (Sydney, here I come!), and lots of my treasures will part ways with me. Email me privately on that if you'd prefer! Thought you'd all like to hear the news about F&T. I think their prepared piano recordings from the 50's/60's are absolutely the most exciting, spectacular and WILD recordings from that time period. Period! Should be a (sound)blast to see what they come up with as two elder statesmen!

"It's a special concert to celebrate the band's 55th anniversary and final tour" says Bernard Hinchcliffe, Huddersfield agent and indefatigable Heath fan. Don Lusher, the trombonist who was with Heath for more than 10 years, leads the band which will include such stalwarts as Jack Parnell (Muppet Show), Tommy Whittle and singer Dennis Lotis. Ted's widow, Moira, is planning to be there. The above is sad news in a sad week, which saw the passing away of much loved UK singer Frankie Vaughan.

A 10 inch record from Capitol called "The New Sound!" is by Les Paul. He has some cool interpretations of Brazil, Caravan and What is This Thing Called Love. I then went to my Capitol CD featuring the "best" of Les Paul and not one of these (or any from this EP) were on the CD. Capitol, what gives? Also got a 78 with the original cover...Gerald McBoing-Boing by Dr. Seuss Told by The Great Gildersleeve (Hal Peary), 1950. As most children's records are, it is rather noisy but playable. What a great fest of sound effects with wonderful narration (and featuring Gildy's great laugh)! I definitely want a better version of this. After hearing the story,though, it makes me wonder...did Gerald ever find a Mrs. McBoing-Boing and what he did he do for work after radio no longer needed sound effects?

I love the name "Pupi Prado," but I'd be downright shocked if it turned out to be a real person. It took me a while to get wise, but lately I've become very aware of the shenanigans of those cheesy budget labels--which definitely include recycling whatever tracks they can dredge up under bogus artist and song titles. Wrecking your stylus is a new low, though! (I seem to remember Jack Diamond muttering darkly about "melted down ashtrays," so who knows if some nasty piece of grit is molded into one of the grooves. . . ) Every once in a while you discover something brilliant and bizarre on one of those budget labels. But after being burned a lot of times, I finally made up a little chart for myself to keep straight the blizzard of budget label names, which are really fronts for a small number of companies. . . It's interesting detective work, matching up different labels by comparing corporate address, recycled cover art, etc. I thought for a while you could see through this corporate shell game by matching up *tracks* that appear on different albums (the famous "yodeling Hawaiian" ones for example)--but I've came to the conclusion that budget labels actually stole music from each other. Which is about par for the course, I guess. Anyway, I'd proceed with extreme caution with any of these labels: SYNTHETIC PLASTICS/SPC/PREMIER (New Jersey, NYC) Spinorama Parade Diplomat Pirouette Promenade Premier Coronet Celebrity Directional Sound (their would-be "audiophile" series) Monogram ? Palace ? [These guys are definitely the cheesiest. It was quite a revelation for me to realize that the Synthetic Plastics and the Premier brands were all connected somehow.] PICKWICK (NYC, Long Island City) Pickwick Design Stereo Spectrum Grand Prix Bravo ? (K. M. Corp., Long Island) MILLER/BUDGET SOUND/ALSHIRE (Media PA, Runnemede NJ, CA) Somerset/Stereo Fidelity Alshire Miller International/D.L. Miller Europa (apparently one of many foreign satellites) PRECISION RADIATION INSTRUMENTS/RADIO CRAFTSMEN (LA, NYC, Chicago) Tops Golden Tone Acorn Kimberly (their would-be "audiophile" series) One I'm still a little unclear about is CROWN. There was definitely a California label operating just as "Crown"--at the slightly higher end of the budget spectrum it seems. I suspect (from some recycled cover art) that "Modern" was their label too. But there was also a Crown in Philadelphia, who put out the "Hanover" budget label--and who seem to be connected with Strand (Billy Mure records), Cameo/Parkway (Chubby Checker) and Cameo/Parkway's budget "Wyncote" label. Not clear if it's the same Crown. This still leaves a few budget labels un-affiliated, so far as I've been able to tell: Kent Forum/Connoisseur ("Division of Jaymo Products") Blue Ribbon/Hollywood Silver Seal Anyway, if anybody has some corrections or additions (or knows of a source who has figured all this out already), I'd like to hear about it. Maybe I can add a version of this to the next FAQ revision. . . --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # 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: Thinkmatic@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Lightening my load, for the moment.

Oh, EVERY former Ronald McDonald knows about Moondog! No surprise there. My father used to see him in full Viking regalia on his way to work. Dad worked on Varrick St., a wonderful old building, complete with gargoyles. Also, Johnny Carson said on the Tonight Show some years ago that he used to see Moondog as well. Carson also had mistakenly said that he had died. Stop playing "Witch of Endor" backwards, Johnny! I am going to miss Hardin. He was a genius and a wonderful discovery for my brother and myself.

Worth" Subject: (exotica) Brown Wax Cylanders Date: 20 Sep 1999 16:48:34 -0700 Byron Caloz said: >Everything I have read said that >you could not mass produce one identical recording. Perhaps >millions of cylinders were sold, but also millions of different >performances. You are thinking of the early "Brown Wax" recordings. These recordings were made by encircling the performer with dozens of recording machines and starting them all at once. A performer would do the song, then all the wax cylanders would be changed for blanks and they would go through the process again. For a popular tune, the orchestra might perform the same song over and over all day... Must have driven them crazy after awhile. This was early on in the history of cylander recording. Every Edison cylander player was easily converted to a recording machine by a simple switch of a stylus head. In fact, Edison never envisioned the phonograph as a way of recording popular music. It was supposed to be a dictation machine for businesses, but the ancillary use eclipsed the intended use. My brother has a brown wax of John Phillip Sousa playing Stars and Stripes Forever... a bit of history there. It's neat to know that the cylander was in the room with Sousa himself. The brown wax period didn't last very long. They figured out how to mass produce cylanders pretty fast... It was a relatively successful format. The continued existence of players and cylanders at just about every antique store that carries phono- graphs bear this out. In general, if the cylander is brown, it is wax... Black ones are shellac like any other mass produced record.

I thought it might be so! It is filled with just drumming. Great drumming to be sure, but a true "percussion" festival not really. It is a drum festival. I don't know if this record was released like the others in the series, in gatefold fashion. My album wasn't gatefold, so if there was any information about the drummers or the "music" I didn't get it because they simply put the outer covers of the gatefold together. Anyone have a gatefold version of this? The thing I most appreciate about this album is the back cover which has pictures of Don Lamond and Teddy Sommers, two well known percussionists who did real percussion albums on other labels. Until this I had never seen what they looked like. Charlie Persip and Mel Lewis, two trad. jazz drummers are also part of the troup. Sol Gubin I had never heard of, but he is also one of the featured drummers.

The Biharis specialized in R&B, releasing such greats as John Lee Hooker, Pee Wee Crayton, Elmore James, and B.B. King. Like Chess, Modern stayed in business long after most other small labels croaked. You could still buy new Kent pressings of B.B. King's albums in the early 1980s.

He was 92. Storck, regarded as one of Belgium's greatest filmmakers, achieved international acclaim with "Misery in the Borinage" which he co-wrote and directed with Dutchman Joris Ivens. Their short, stark account focused on the grim conditions of mine workers in the Borinage region around the southern Belgian city of Mons during a strike to protest pay cuts. Storck worked as an actor, cinematographer, art director producer and director in a career that spanned 70 movies. He was best known for his documentaries, which also included "The Unknown Soldier," "Rubens" and "The Peasant's Symphony." Frankie Vaughan LONDON (AP) – Frankie Vaughan, a crooner who appealed to audiences in Las Vegas and New York as well as his native England, died Friday. He was 71. Vaughan, who made hits of "Green Door" and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," had undergone surgery for a heart problem earlier this year. He also had a moderately successful movie career, appearing in 1960's "Let's Make Love" and performing a musical number with Marilyn Monroe. Vaughan, born Frank Abelson in his Russian grandmother's house in Liverpool, turned to show business after studying at Leeds College of Art. He auditioned as a singer, landed a week's work at a music hall, and then started his career on the British variety circuit. He starred at all the major British theaters and had hit cabaret shows in Las Vegas and at New York's Copacabana. In later years, he continued to perform on the theatrical circuit and made frequent appearances on TV specials. Willi Millowitsch COLOGNE, Germany (AP) – Willi Millowitsch, one of Germany's best-known comic actors and a fixture at the famed Cologne carnival, died Monday. He was 90. Born into a Cologne family of actors, Millowitsch made his first stage appearance at age five. During World War II, he toured Nazi-occupied France with a theater group that entertained German soldiers. His career took off in the 1950s, leading to numerous stage, film and TV roles. He also had pop music hits. Millowitsch's own theater in Cologne, which he directed until 1996, became one of Germany's most popular comedy stages. CAIRO, Sept 20 (AFP) - Taheya Carioca, the Egyptian beauty who became the Arab world's most famous belly dancer, died Monday in a Cairo hospital at the age of 79, hospital officials said. Carioca, whose stardom lasted decades after her debut in the 1930s, was born Abla Mohammed Karim but took her stage name from the Brazilian sambas she went on to perform. The cause of death was listed as a heart attack. Carioca danced in most Arab countries and starred in several Egyptian films with some of the Arab world's top actors. She had refused to play down her colourful past, as many other performers did, during the rise of Islamic extremism in the 1980s although she took to wearing the Islamic silk scarf before retiring completely from public life 13 years ago. # 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: dciccone@inspex.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Yma and Disney ? ? ?

Date: 21 Sep 1999 10:57:59 -0700 (PDT) HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - While it's well known that Samuel L. Jackson will play the title role in Paramount's new version of "Shaft," a deal has now been struck for the original John Shaft. Richard Roundtree, who popularized the "John Shaft" P.I. franchise in the early '70s, will reprise his role as the "black private dick who's a sex machine to all the chicks" in "Shaft Returns," which is slated for spring 2000. This time, he'll play the uncle of the modern John Shaft, charged with passing on street wisdom and, naturally, getting his hands dirty fighting crime. More than 25 years have passed since Roundtree appeared in three "Shaft" movies and a CBS series that bore the name. Roundtree's Shaft is expected to have a significant role. "It's not a cameo, and he's certainly not some tired, old gumshoe," one insider said. === "It's just my nature to do weird stuff." - Les Baxter Astroslut website: cuming soon! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Date: 21 Sep 1999 11:07:21 -0700 (PDT) NEW YORK (Variety) - Warner Bros. has acquired rights to remake "Barbarella" and is negotiating for Drew Barrymore to play the futuristic sexpot. In a deal quickly coming together, the film rights are landing at the studio with producers Ben Myron, Silvio Muraglia and Gilles Thomson. Flower Films' Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen are negotiating to come aboard as producers as well. Barrymore has long been interested in doing a remake of the 1968 sci-fi film, which Roger Vadim directed as a campy adaptation of the racy cult comic strip by Jean-Claude Forest. Jane Fonda starred as a wide-eyed 41st century astronaut attempting to thwart an evildoer who's bent on laying his hands on a deadly positronic ray as well as on the fetching heroine. The remake will drop the camp factor and stay faithful to the edgy comic strip. Barrymore is next expected to star with Cameron Diaz in "Charlie's Angels," which Flower will produce. She's also expected to star in "Riding in Cars With Boys" for director Penny Marshall. Both are Columbia projects. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- From dove to hawk for BEN KINGSLEY Ben Kingsley, who won an Oscar playing the pacifist title character in "Gandhi," has pacted to play the ferocious conqueror Napoleon Bonaparte. Kingsley will star in "N," an independently financed film that will mark Kingsley's fourth film with director David Jones ("84 Charing Cross Road"). Ilene Kahn Power ("Gia" and "Stalin") and Kingsley will produce, with Jones, screenwriter Jesse Graham and Severin Wunderman executive producing. Kahn Power said most of the financing is in place, with the picture targeted to shoot in January in Europe. The picture tells of the French emperor in exile on the island of St. Helena. The true story focuses on his unlikely friendship with a 13-year-old English girl, who ultimately must decide whether to help him escape. Kingsley has done a good bit of research, aided by Wunderman, the former owner of Gucci who now owns Dunhill USA. Wunderman, who is active in Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation, is a big Bonaparte buff. According to Kingsley, Napoleon was as feisty in his waning years as he was when he was the scourge of Europe. "He's the animal in its pure form, that combination of charisma, power, that intuitive knowledge of how to grasp a moment and win men's hearts," said Kingsley. "The whole of France would have followed him into oblivion -- something that could not be said of Hitler. The main thrust of the film is his deepening trust and affection for this young girl. They manipulate each other as friends do, and come to that point where they can conspire in an attempt to free him." Kingsley recently wrapped the Mike Nichols-directed "What Planet Are You From," the William Friedkin-directed "Rules of Engagement," and the Jeremy Thomas-produced "Sexy Beast," directed by Jonathan Glaser. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Moonlighting in sports After his introduction to film by serving as a model for the title character of Cameron Crowe's "Jerry Maguire," sports agent Leigh Steinberg has become Hollywood's go-to guy on jock fare. As consultant, Steinberg gets paid about $50,000 a picture -- not nearly as lucrative as sports agenting -- but he and his clients are beginning to love the film biz, with their agent providing the entrance. "One benefit is a conduit for our athletes who wind up playing roles, and the other is to help give these films a feel of authenticity, to break the stereotypical jaundiced point of view of athletes," said Steinberg, who says he feeds storylines to the HBO series "Arli$$" as a quiet consultant. Steinberg just served as consultant on the Kevin Costner starrer "For Love of the Game," and for Oliver Stone on "Any Given Sunday." Steinberg was euphoric over the hurling ability of "Game" star Costner: "Hour after hour, he threw the ball with high velocity and with good control, and never complained." (Well, that was before Costner complained loudly about Universal's cuts in the film, a controversy first reported in Dish Sept. 2.) With partner Jeff Moorad, Steinberg has a sports client list that includes Troy Aikman, Drew Bledsoe, Steve Young and Cordell Stewart and swarms of baseball and basketball players. Re "Jerry Maguire," Steinberg denies he's a carbon copy of that character, noting that he never in his life uttered "You had me at hello" or "You complete me." ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Dishings As various gridironers go down with season-ending injuries, Fox Sports Network anchor Chris Myers must be glad he's behind a desk. The former ESPN fixture is now leading FSN's charge to steal that web's glory, starting with a rival Sunday football show "NFL This Morning," which Myers anchors along with the daily newscast. On the eve of the show's launch two weeks ago, Myers tore all the ligaments in his knee during a touch football game, but hasn't missed a show, propping up his rehabbing limb so that it's obscured behind the desk. While Myers will surely take ribbing from players who get their injuries from brutal hits (Myers admits he was sacked by a protruding sprinkler head), his network's taking full advantage of the situation, filming his operation for an episode on reconstructive knee surgery.

"His Girl Friday" is a fine movie and it was a remake of "The Front Page" and it made some rather sweeping changes in dialogue and it even changed the gender of Hildy Johnson and it's a better movie for it and the best version of the four. If you have ever seen Larry Semon's version of "The Wizard of Oz", which is sluggish, not funny and dreadfully racist, you would also agree that Judy Garland starred in the better version. Hitchcock remade his own "Man Who Knew Too Much" and he took great advantage of better technology, his skills (which were considerable in the original version) and made a better movie. I will not argue the merits or demerits of "La Cage Aux Folles", but "The Birdcage" is not a bad movie. So every so often, a remake is not a bad thing.

"The Birdcage" aside, your examples all pre-date the recent orgy of remakes. (Sometimes it seems like the cable systems in Hollywood only carry TV Land.) I'm not against the concept in general. It's possible to come up with a good remake, and there are plenty of great cover versions. It's just that there have been so many disappointing high-profile movie remakes in the past decade or so -- why do they keep churning them out? Speaking of covers, I heard an abominable "smooth jazz" soprano sax version of "The Look of Love" in my mom's car last week. I only felt better after putting Andy Williams on repeat for half an hour, immediately followed by a viewing of "Casino Royale" to be sure. I'm trying to be hopeful about this Barbarella thing. That movie is so important to me, aesthetically -- it is such an influence on my artwork and my decorating style (and my fashion sense, though I keep that to myself most of the time). If they screw it up I will be damaged beyond repair. I don't dislike Drew Barrymore but I don't want people to think my zine is about her. And I don't even want to _think_ about what they'll do to the soundtrack... How is it faithful to the original to make it "edgy" and un-camp?

And don't forget "The Maltese Falcon" with Bogart, which was the *third* filmed version of the story! Yeah, I knew the suggestion would be a two-edged sword. But this remake-itis has been so horrible (along with the results), that I've been driven to it. The media made me do it! I like Jordana's idea of a gritty, realistic Barbarella. Cast Lili Taylor as a down-on-her-luck space nymphet, dealing with STD's, substance abuse and police harassment as she drifts through the galaxy, hitching rides the hard way. No plot -- just a bleak character study. I'm suuure big-time Hollywood would back that. Nah.

Broadway used to be a great place to see a show to make into a movie; now there are a LOT of revivals. There is a generation of writers and creative people that have different influences than the originators. I am not saying necessarily WORSE, just different. The things of my youth, for better and worse are now considered bankable. Nowadays, with the costs of filmmaking mounting, it's safer to go with something that had an audience, than to pray that this project that this person wants to do reads great but may require too much audience thought. Or a pet project that a sizable star wants to do (did anyone in great number see "The Raggedy Rawney" with Bob Hoskins?) I'm not saying that that's a good thing! It's just easier and sometimes easier works (in the computer business, there was a phrase, "no one ever got fired for recommending Microsoft"). Down on the river, however, we NEVER do things nice and easy.

Lo Bue" Subject: (exotica) NBC's Night Music (1988-90) Date: 21 Sep 1999 21:11:27 +0000 What a great show that was...didn't see the Ken Nordine spot, but I did videotape most of what I found interesting on there. Hal Willner produced the entire series, which is why you'd get wild GenreCombos(tm) like Nick Cave with Charlie Haden and Toots Thielemans.....or John Cale with BJ Cole, Shawn Colvin, Richard Thompson and Tim Berne doing Heartbreak Hotel(!)....or (my favorite oddity) Conway Twitty with The Residents!!! The only bummer about the show was David Sanborn, who hosted, and tended to stick his sax in one too many times (he apparently fought for control of the programming with Willner). It was also the first time I saw film of Clara Rockmore on her theremin (WAY before the Theremin documentary). Other little pleasures I managed to get on video: ZAHAR, a great little power rock trio fronted by Hassan Hakmoun on a moroccan hempstring bass, with a fledgling YUVAL GABAY (Soul Coughing's drummer) and Hugo Largo's HAHN ROWE on guitar; Pops Staples doing a Blind Willie Johnson bottleneck slide solo, an incendiary performance by the troubled Mary Margaret O'Hara...man, the list goes on and on. Keep your eye open for Willner-produced theme albums. They can be a bit dicey at times, but the OddCombos(tm) can yield some great things. The Mingus tribute, "Weird Nightmare", has such moments. Also the "Lost In The Stars" Kurt Weill tribute is a classic. I wish there were more producers dragging the genre lines over each other--makes a lot of sense to me! One last thing regarding Night Music: Rykodisc bought the rights to the archives of the show and were slated a few years back to release a compilation of the stuff. Write 'em and put some pressure on!!

She was 78. Karioka, born as Badawiya Mohammed Karim, had been in al-Safa Hospital for two weeks, where she was suffering from heart, digestive and breathing problems, according to hospital officials. Karioka, dubbed the "Queen of Oriental Dancing," studied dancing as a young girl at Ivanova Belly Dancing School before moving to Mohammed Ali Street, Cairo's 1930s and '40s equivalent of Broadway. Karioka's first film was "Doctor Farahat" in 1935, directed by Togo Mizrahi. Altogether, she performed in some 300 films, plays and television soap operas. Considered the Arab world's Marilyn Monroe, Karioka attracted the attention of key figures in Egypt and won the admiration of the late King Farouq. The outspoken Karioka ( who criticized the military rule of Egypt after the 1952 army coup led by Gamal Abdel Nasser) temporarily stopped performing when the new regime accused her of conspiracy. Before her death, Palestinian-born writer Edward Said wrote that Karioka was not only a belly dancer but an artist who played a role in shaping Egypt's modern culture. One of her most popular movies was "Youth of a Woman," in which she played a landlady who seduces a young, naive peasant student. The film was shown at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival and won the international directing prize in 1958. Karioka married 14 times. Among her former husbands were an American army officer whom she married during World War II, the late actor Rushdi Abaza and famous playwright Fayez Halawa. She is survived by an adopted daughter, Atiyat Allah. # 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: Subject: Re: (exotica) Hal Willner (was Yma and Disney) Date: 22 Sep 1999 10:20:52 -0400 Andrew Grant wrote: >The album was put together by Hal Willner, who put together other BRILLIANT tribute albums of Nino Rota, Kurt Weill and Mingus.

Does anyone know of any published interviews with the guy? He really is some kind of genius with his unexpected combinations. As someone commented, his records are hit and miss, but when he connects, the ball sails outta the park. The Reggie Jackson of music compilations. Willner also produced records and tapes of Allen Ginsberg reading poems with and without music: "The Lion for Real" on Great Jones, with Frissell, Steve Swallow, Arto Lindsay, Lenny Pickett, others -- just the thing for Ginsburg's casual fans. Some muy muy fabuloso music. "Holy Soul Jelly Roll", a four tape compilation of Ginsburg reading or singing from 1949-93. Only for the fanatic, but it does include an otherwise unreleased "Howl" with an intro by Kenneth Rexroth, recorded in 56 when Allen was gleefully courting obscenity troubles. When I get a CD recorder, will burn some disks for swaps. Sheet music: Robbie, I'll ask my bro for URLs -- he downloaded TONS of sheets for midi. He's traveling now but will send the info. Look for it next week. Charlie told me that, I dunno, two years ago?, the ton of scores available on the web suddenly vaporized when people got serious about protecting copyrights. Them Dukes: Roseanne is a huge fan of the show. No other endorsement needed. Remakes: Also the 50s remake of the 30s A Star is Born, with Garland. Then Barbra's remake, more aptly titled, A Bore is Starred. Oh, the vagaries of moviedom. When they remake Lawrence of Arabia with Brad Pitt playing Lawrence, I'll withdraw to the desert.

Fourty (!) tracks of Brit-EZ (by Syd Dale, Tony Hatch, Alan Hawskshaw, Paddy Kingsland, Keith Mansfield, Alan Parker, Roland Shaw and others) are remixed by Laurent Lombard: he overlays the original (most often played back at faster speed) with a heavy rhythm track, in the style of drum'n'bass, techno, trip-hop, house or fast bossa. For fans of Dimitri From Paris and The EasyTunes! this CD is special, in that it is unavailable through regular channels: Kosinus is a production music label, that only sells through their representatives, and n ot to individuals like you and me. Their release of JJ Perrey's "Good Moog" is an exception, that one is available through regular mailorder channels.

They are called UberEasy and consist of four Turner employees playing easy-fied sixties pop rock and, I think, a few of their own compositions. They aren't great but certainly aren't bad and seemed to be having a blast on stage. They have only played out a couple of times and atract a crowd largely of Turner employees (who filled the Star Bar with the only non-smoking crowd it has ever seen in it's history, Turner employees being prohibited from smoking even on their own time, too weird for me) but I have it on good authority that the singer, Dejie Johnson, was the voice of Judy Jetson some years ago. In any case ... I got to see Judy Jetson sing!

Scott,Joel Beck Date: 23 Sep 1999 10:00:05 -0400 Benny Kalama HONOLULU (AP) – Hawaiian music legend Benny Kalama, former musical director for the "Hawaii Calls" radio show, died Tuesday at his Lanikai home. He was 83. Kalama, a falsetto singer and ukulele and bass player, performed with some of Hawaii's most famous musicians and was a member of the Royal Hawaiian Serenaders from 1948-1952. His recording career started in 1938. His lone solo album, "He is Hawaiian Music," came out in the early 1980s. In 1993, Kalama received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hawaii Academy of Recording Arts. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- George C. Scott, whose eagle-like profile and commanding, gravel-voiced demeanor brought life to Gen. George S. Patton and earned him an Oscar he refused to accept, has died. He was 71. Scott died Wednesday, Pat Mahoney, wife of Scott's publicist, Jim Mahoney, said Thursday. Scott died at his home in Westlake Village in Ventura County, about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles. She said she didn't know the cause of death. ``They just found him and are trying to find out what happened,'' she said. ``He was on again, off again for a while. He just expired.'' The answering service for the Ventura County Coroner's office confirmed Scott had died but had no other information. The coroner planned to release a statement this morning, County Sheriff's Sgt. Paul Higgason said. Scott captivated audiences in roles ranging from the dangerously explosive, yet sympathetic Patton in 1970 to the fatuous blowhard Gen. Buck Turgidson in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film ``Dr. Strangelove.'' The two were opposite ends of a spectrum of his memorable film characters: the shark on the sidelines who tries to devour Paul Newman in ``The Hustler''; the high-powered ringer brought in to steamroller small-town lawyer James Stewart in ``Anatomy of a Murder''; the dedicated doctor ground down by red tape and institutional incompetence in ``The Hospital.'' On television, he etched a gritty portrait of a social worker fighting a tide of urban misery in the television series ``East Side/West Side.'' On stage, when at age 68 Scott rose from a sickbed to star in the 1996 Broadway revival of ``Inherit the Wind,'' one critic said it was like watching a horse buggy powered by a Ferrari engine. In private life, he was for years a bellicose drinker whose profile was marked by a nose broken five times, in four barroom brawls and one mugging. He was married five times -- twice to the same woman, actress Colleen Dewhurst. When Scott played in ``Plaza Suite'' in 1968, co-star Maureen Stapleton and director Mike Nichols had this reported exchange at rehearsal: Stapleton: ``I'm so frightened of George, I don't know what to do.'' Nichols: ``My dear, the whole world is frightened of George.'' With his highly publicized rejection of the Academy Award more than a decade in the future, Scott mopped up nearly every prize in sight for eye-catching performances when he hit the New York stage in 1957 and 1958. He had spent seven years in the sticks, playing stock and living on menial jobs, preparing for the breakthrough that came when he was 30 years old and caught the eye of Joseph Papp, impresario of the New York Shakespeare Festival. In rapid succession, the unknown Scott played the title role in ``Richard III'' in November 1957, Jacques in ``As You Like It'' in January 1958 and a poisoning peer in the off-Broadway ``Children of Darkness'' in March 1958. For his work in all three productions he received the off-Broadway best actor Obie and a Theatre World award as a ``promising personality.'' For the Shakespeare performances, he won a Clarence Derwent Award as most promising actor and a Vernon Rice Award for contribution to off-Broadway theater. Later the same year, his Broadway debut in ``Comes a Day'' was recognized with the first of what would be four Tony Award nominations. The others were for ``The Andersonville Trial'' in 1959, ``Uncle Vanya'' in 1974 and ``Death of a Salesman,'' which he also directed, in 1975. Over his career he also won a second Obie, two television Emmys out of five nominations and was nominated for Oscars four times. The movie roles that established his fame and provided the money to continue doing theater began in 1959 with the role of a charismatic loony who stirs up a lynch mob against Gary Cooper in ``The Hanging Tree.'' The same year, ``Anatomy of a Murder'' brought his first Academy Award nomination. He said nothing about it. But when he was nominated again in 1962, for ``The Hustler,'' he wired the academy ``no thanks.'' The academy did not withdraw his name, but he didn't win either. Scott said later that he did not think he'd ever again be nominated and regretted only that ``I wasn't able to shock the academy into doing something constructive'' about what he viewed as a meaningless popularity contest. The academy ignored his withdrawal again in 1970 and gave Scott the best-actor Oscar, to go along with Golden Globe and New York Film Critics honors, for ``Patton.'' The movie, a favorite of President Nixon, received seven Academy Awards. Scott said he spent the evening watching hockey. His last nomination was for ``The Hospital'' in 1971. A score of movies would follow, including ``The Savage Is Loose,'' which Scott produced, directed and starred in with his fourth wife, Trish Van Devere, in 1974. It flopped and Scott lost his shirt. His first Emmy nomination was for a Ben Casey episode called ``I Remember a Lemon Tree'' in 1961. The others came during the years between his two short-lived TV series, the critically acclaimed ``East Side/West Side'' in 1963-64 and a sitcom, ``Mr. President,'' in 1987-88. He won Emmys for directing ``The Andersonville Trial'' on PBS in 1970 and acting in ``The Price'' on the Hallmark Hall of Fame in 1971. He also was a nominee for acting in Hallmark's 1976 ``Beauty and the Beast.'' Although he commissioned ``The Last Days of Patton,'' which aired in 1986, because he didn't think he had given the general ``a fair shake the first time around,'' Scott maintained that moviemaking was tedious and he did it only for the money. ``I have to work in the theater to stay sane,'' he said. ``You can attack the stage fresh every night.'' He disdained ``method'' acting and said he learned his craft from watching movie greats. ``Cagney and Bogart taught me how to act. During the depressing periods of most actors' lives, they sleep a lot. I went to the movies,'' he once told an interviewer. Scott was born in Wise, Va., a coal town, on Oct. 18, 1927, but grew up in Detroit. He joined the Marines in 1945, too late for action in World War II and spent his four years in service burying the dead at Arlington by day and boozing at night. ``You can't look at that many widows in veils and hear that many `Taps' without taking to drink,'' he said. He left the Missouri School of Journalism in 1950 without a degree and threw himself into acting, performing in more than 100 roles with stock companies in Toledo, Ohio; Washington and Ontario, Canada. During this time, his marriages to Carolyn Hughes and Patricia Reed produced two daughters, Victoria and Devon, and a son, Matthew. He met Dewhurst when they appeared together in ``Children of Darkness'' and they were married in 1960, divorced in 1965, remarried in 1967 and divorced in 1972. They had two sons, Alexander and Campbell. Scott also acknowledged a sixth child, born out of wedlock during his school years. He and Van Devere married in 1972. JOEL BECK GOES UNDERGROUND! SAN FRANCISCO CARTOONIST DEAD AT 56! September 22: Pioneering underground cartoonist, Joel Beck, had died in San Francisco at the age of 56. The San Francisco Examiner described Beck as a "legendary underground comic artist of the 1960s who chronicled the hippie era and the Vietnam War years in the UC-Berkeley humor magazine Pelican, the Berkeley Barb and in his own comic books. A frail youngster, Mr. Beck spent two years of his childhood in El Sobrante bedridden with a near-fatal combination of tuberculosis and spinal meningitis, during which time he said he drew cartoons and read Mark Twain and Walt Disney. As a teenager he began leaving his cartoons at the office of the Pelican, slipping them under the door after hours. Although he never attended college, he was voted the nation's top college cartoonist by humor magazine editors in 1965." The EXAMINER also said, "Living in a converted closet in a rather notorious building known as Haste House on Haste Street in Berkeley, Mr. Beck worked by night and slept most of the day. He began contributing a full page comic each week to the Berkeley Barb, the underground newspaper of the time. He also created elaborate drawings, and sometimes paintings, of a fantasy world of dinosaur-like creatures, sailing ships, fanciful castles and winged fairies. Some were made into posters. In 1965, his first full-length comic book, "Lenny of Laredo," was published. It was a satire loosely based on the career of embattled comedian Lenny Bruce. Mr. Beck's protagonist, a child named Lenny, achieves fame and fortune by uttering "obscenities" such as "pee-pee thing," only to find his career in the dumps when the public becomes satiated with his naughtiness. Two other books, "Marching Marvin" and "The Profit," followed. All are collectors items today." The EXAMINER described Beck's career as ebbing in the 1970s, "possibly as a result of the methamphetamines he was fond of taking during marathon bouts of drawing. In recent years he lived in obscurity in Point Richmond, scraping out a living with an occasional advertising commission and being looked after by friends. He was seriously injured in a mugging a few years ago and suffered a recurrence of tuberculosis. And he continued to drink heavily. Services will be at Point Richmond Methodist Church, corner of Martina Street and West Richmond Avenue, at 1 p.m. Thursday. Samples of his art works and comics and stories about his life are posted in the windows of the Santa Fe Market, West Richmond Avenue and Washington Street."

The ad said something to the effect that Aku-Aku (a 50-year old polynesnian restaurant) was selling off a lot of its old stuff for a short period of time. Domenic e-mailed his fellow Boston exotica-enthusiasts to share the good news. I arrived the following day and was led into the "back" room where all the stuff was stored. I saw some sorta good, but kinda too new pleather chairs, a pile of rattan chairs (about 50 in all) which had been painted green and re-cushioned with vinyl :-(. Then I saw it. A three and a half foot high SOLID tiki which must weigh at least 225lbs naked (which it is). It was a perfect specimen, the kind we see in Tiki News and other places. The owner told me it had decorated the lobby entrance to the original Aku Aku since 1948. The lobby was in the old and now defunkt (remember that band?) Somerset Hotel on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. We dickered and haggled a bit and we arrived at a great price from my perspective and now a classic tiki is about to become part of my domain. It will occupy a spot in my living room, next to my parents original 50's wrought iron butterfly chair. It will sit on a straw mat. Additionally, I purchased an old wall mural from the guy for only $10. This is a beauty. Its a Polynesian moonlit setting on a lagoon. A maiden paddles her canoe toward a clump of palm trees under the starry skies. Under the trees is a campfire illuminating just the side of the tiki facing the fire. The tiki is big for the picture and juts out from the 3' by 5' mural about 3".

Thanks Brad! I do notice more fairly real artists on Crown. But do you know if this outfit had any connection to the "Philadelphia" Crown? It's a little unclear to me whether the Philly Crown owned Hanover/Cameo-Parkway/Wyncote, or just manufactured disks for them. mkoldys wrote (about Precision Radiation Instruments): >It is my belief that these are also listable under the "Synthetic >Plastics"/"Premier" grouping.

I have noticed tracks in common between SPC and PRI disks--but as I say, they might have just stolen them from each other. (Or both from the same legally-unprotected source.)

Some exoticness is added by the fact that on this track only some Sylvia Juncosa plays keybords (Farfisa, I guess). Label is Hysteria records, and on the cover sez: "Primordial Ooze Glavored - 6 Spellbinding Quick Trick Heap-Big Magical Musical Tablets - Just Add What's Left Of Your Mind". Woah! 2) I just think Slim Gaillard was a sheer genius. I have most of his stuff, but didn't realise until now that he put out an Yma Sumac parody called "Soony Roony (Song Of Yxabat)". The track, credited to "Slim Gaillard & His Peruvians" (!?) came out in 1951 and was part of his 10" LP issue "Mish Mash" on Clef. More easily findable on "Laughing In Rhythm", a Verve CD collection of his best works. Guess who's playing piano on that tune: Dick Hyman.

Maybe this says something about my taste for dreck but when it comes to loungey and Now Sound stuff, I think I find as much interesting stuff on budget labels as on major labels. I kind of like the fact that you almost have to ignore what the record appears to be. It could say "Hawaiian" and be closer to western swing. It could say "hits of 1965" and be the dreariest string thing. Or it could say "Electronic music to blow your mind by" (by "The Lovemachine") and actually make a worthy attempt at mindblowingness. # 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: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) the cathode world Date: 24 Sep 1999 01:47:36 -0400 This is particularly addressed to you Frank Comstock afficionados out there but first let's start with a quote: "Such programs as "Peter Gunn", "The D.A's Man" and "77 Sunset Strip" have brought cool sounds into living rooms previously shunned "music with a beat".

Nope, you heard a trautonium! Developed by Friedrich Trautwein and Oskar Sala in the late 20's. Looks kinda like an old harmonium, but under the keys ran a bare wire, and when you pressed down it would make contact and cause an electrical response. The COOL thing about this instrument was that you could also tweak the keys SIDEWAYS to bend the pitch, like a steel guitar or a theremin! So it was a hit with the microtonal composers. Oskar Sala became a virtuoso on it, and Hindemith wrote a concerto for Trautonium & orchestra in 1930. I've got 2 CD's by Sala that were released about 5 or 6 years ago on the FAX label (Pete Namlook's label). They can be a bit dry at times, it was very serial and somber music Sala wrote for the instrument, but in parts it is totally otherworldly. He recorded several of the tracks recently for the CD's, and they join the historic recordings. It was apparently a bitch to play well (like the theremin) which is probably why it didn't really make any inroads. BTW, both the CD's were pressed in a limited edition of 1000, but there still might be some copies left...can't imagine Madonna fans are ringing up for these two. Here's some info I got off another website: Oskar Sala, born in 1910, studied composition with Paul Hindemith in Berlin. He assisted Dr. Friedrich Trautwein in constructing the first Trautonium, and in 1930, together with Hindemith and Rudolph Schmidt, gave the premiere performance of the "Triostucke" for three Trautoniums, composed by Hindemith. In 1931, Sala was the soloist in Hindemith's "Konzertsuck fur Trautonium mit Begleitung des Streichorchesters". His first independant construction was a Radio Trautonium in 1935. Between 1949 and 1952 he succeeded in builing his Mixtur-Trautonium (a development of the original Trautonium) with patents registered in Germany, France and the U.S. In 1958, he created his own electronic studio in Berlin. He has written numerous electronic compositions there, particularly for radio, films and television. His electronic-sound illustration to Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Birds" became specially well-known. The best site to find out about bizarre arcane instruments is: http://www.obsolete.com/120_years/ There are pics of all the old machines...HIGHLY worth a look for anyone!

(AP) Ivan Goff, co-creator of the TV series "Charlie's Angels" and co-writer of the films "White Heat," "Captain Horatio Hornblower" and "Man of a Thousand Faces," died Thursday. He was 89. With his writing partner for 39 years, the late Ben Roberts, Goff wrote 25 feature films that starred James Cagney, Gregory Peck, Clark Gable, Doris Day, Joan Crawford and others. Among their credits: "Midnight Lace," "Shake Hands with the Devil," "Band of Angels," "Green Fire," "King of the Khyber Rifles," "Come Fill the Cup" and "Goodbye, My Fancy." Goff and Roberts were Oscar-nominated for their screenplay of "Man of a Thousand Faces," which starred Cagney as Lon Chaney. In 1954-55, Goff served as president of the screen writers council of the Screen Writers Guild, predecessor of the Writers Guild of America. In the 1960s, the pair turned to television, writing "The Rogues" for Dick Powell, David Niven and Charles Boyer. They also produced "Mannix" (1967-75) and created "Charlie's Angels" (1976-87). Born in Perth, Goff worked as a newspaperman in Australia, freelanced in London in the early 1930s and became Hollywood correspondent for the London Daily Mirror in 1936. He wrote a novel, "No Longer Innocent," and a play "Portrait in Black" before turning to films. He met Roberts while both served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps during World War II. Herbert Leupin BASEL, Switzerland (AP) Swiss graphic artist Herbert Leupin, who gained international recognition for his colorful product posters, died Tuesday. He was 82. The creator of the purple cow that advertised Suchard's Milka chocolate, Leupin also designed posters for Coca Cola. Leupin also exhibited in New York and in 1960 received the Art Directors Club's Medal Award. William Eckert NEW ORLEANS (AP) Dr. William Eckert, a forensic pathologist who was a consultant on major cases including the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy and the Jonestown massacre, died Sept. 17. He was 73. Eckert founded the International Organization of Forensic Medicine and the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology. He was president of the International Association of Forensic Sciences and the National Association of Medical Examiners, wrote several books and held academic appointments at a number of universities, including Tulane Medical School. Eckert was consulted on such famous cases as the Charles Manson murders, the John Wayne Gacy serial killings, the exhumation of Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele's body and the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. In the late 1980s, Eckert put together an investigative team that re-examined the 100-year-old Jack the Ripper prostitute murders. He also served as a consultant for the television series "Quincy." Upon hearing that Robert Kennedy had been assassinated in his jurisdiction, former Los Angeles County Coroner Thomas Noguchi wrote in one of his books that he immediately called in Eckert because he wanted to make sure there were no mistakes. ----------------- NASA is now saying that the Mars Probe may have been destroyed, having approached the Martian atmosphere too close, breaking up in orbit.

Holmes' _Electronic and Experimental Music_ says, "The Trautonium of Dr. Friedrich Trautwein was developed between 1928 and 1930 in Germany. This instrument possessed some of the features of the ondes martenot, but used a neon-tube oscillator in place of the capacitance-grounding principle of heterodyning found in the theremin and ondes martenot. Tones were produced by adjusting the resistance of the tube via a finger ribbon [. . . .] The instrument was surprisingly long-lived, and variations of it were in continuous use in media applications until the late 1960s." Because this "finger ribbon" thingie let the player slide continuously between pitches, the sound would probably have an oooo-eeee quality similar to the theremin. (In fact, isn't the story that the Beach Boys actually used one of these slide controllers on "Good Vibrations," because it was too hard to stay on pitch with a normal hand-waving theremin?) oscillatingly, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # 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: Ross 'Mambo Frenzy' Orr Subject: (exotica) Re: Budget Labels Date: 24 Sep 1999 11:31:39 -0400 Nat wrote: >Maybe this says something about my taste for dreck but when it comes to >loungey and Now Sound stuff, I think I find as much interesting stuff on >budget labels as on major labels. Budget labels give me this intense mixture of irritation and fascination. I mean, they just were so shameless. I really get the sense that they would just steal some foreign LP, or some low-fi radio transcription, then slap their own artist and song names onto it. I noticed recently that even the text of the "audiophile" blurb on Synthetic Plastics disks was totally ripped off from Omega! But then every once in a while you get an original recording which is really good, and you just have to wonder "who IS this really, and how did the budget label end up with these sessions?" In a few cases I can trace it back to an earlier record where the artists did get credited. But the mystery of it all can be really intriguing. In the Now Sound era, I wonder if those labels were getting more original sessions where struggling musicians just signed away all their rights. . . --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # 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: Subject: Re: (exotica) Tiki Score Date: 24 Sep 1999 11:25:43 -0400 >It began with an e-mail from fellow lister Domenic who for some reason was >perusing the classifieds while at work! >Anyways, La Jane's fiance had a chance to pick up the Tiki and passed up on the chance so Jimmy has it now.

I'm more selective about organ records, having been burned by one too many "Tribute to Ken Griffith/Griffin" records. I look for a value added element on organ records: songs I dig or an emphasis on percussion elements or the addition of a sax or accordion -- then I buy. Case in point: Organ Rhythms by John Elliott and His Diatonic Four. On Promenade, one of the Synthetic Plastics' aliases. Diga Diga Doo, Caravan, and Sophisticated Lady inside...plus accordion, drums, guitar, and electronic organ (a Hammond?). And arresting visually due to the pronouncement STEREOPHONIC RECORD, which steals any attention from the photo of the band or the title. This record has the right stuff -- a real delight for organ fans cuz John Elliott swings and takes his players along for the ride. Thank you, Promenade.

Amazing. I'd grab it because I doubt it will be around long. In some ways that reminds me of the most bizarre thing Paul McCartney has ever done.

He totally redid the album with an orchestra and on some tunes a great chorus (but no Paul vocals....just as if some Ray Martin or someone had done a version of the record).
