From: jschwart@voicenet.com Subject: (exotica) Yma/census Date: 01 Jun 2000 01:25:01 >> Incan princess my Incan ass!! ;-) >Well, actually we can get a better answer to this one in 2002. In 2002, the U.S. Bureau of the Census will release to the public all the information gathered in the 1930 census (72 year confidentiality policy/law). We can all see if there was a child 2-8 or so (?) named Amy Camus from the Bronx. Her web site states that her date of birth is Sept 12, 1924, though various other sources have placed the year between 1921 and 1928. I have no idea if Yma is Amy, though I've always assumed that the "Amy" rumor started not only because her princess story is so, well, exotic, but because her name happened to spell something pronounceable backwards. I don't think it's especially "racist" or "sexist" to doubt her, just ignorant if Sumac is indeed a common name (and how many Camus's can there be, especially in the Bronx? Is Camus even a real name?). But the most fascinating thing I've read in this thread so far is the above revelation about revealing the 1930 census. The census is getting incomplete, inaccurate data because nobody trusts the government, the government in turn launches an all-out public relations campaign to assure everyone that it is absolutely confidential...and then they publish census results just because they are "old"? This will not only tell us about Yma Sumac, it will out every person of a certain age who ever lied about their age. Is this needed? And if word about this gets out, will anyone fill out the 2000 census who didn't already? What were they thinking? Can this really be true? # 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: Robbie Baldock Subject: Re: (exotica) Jack Date: 01 Jun 2000 10:19:24 +0100 I'm afraid I missed the latest reason for Jack leaving the list but I wouldn't fret about it - he's done this several times before and I have no doubt that he will be back...

To put this in perspective - I worked at the Bureau of the Census for four years (Statistical Research Division) while in grad school in DC between 1991 and 1995. Confidentiality of information gathered in a decennial census lasts for a period of 72 years. Thus, in 1992, they released all information gathered in the 1920 census (BTW - this was interesting as this was the first census where a majority of Americans were not living in rural areas). In 1982, they released the 1910 census; thus, in 2002, they will release the 1930 census. This confidentiality law has been in place for ages - it is part of Title 13 of the U. S. Code (for the complete text, goto http://uscode.house.gov/title_13.htm); Title 13 was enacted in 1954. Regarding why the census is taken in the first place, it is a part of the U.S. Constitution that a decennial census of all men and women will be taken. The first census was in 1790. It is certainly an expensive process. The 72 year old (and older) disclosed Census information is primarily used by geneologists and other academic researchers. All individual census forms are kept/copied and archived (you can even see those from 1790 on microfiche). Thus, the information that you listed on your 2000 census will become public record in 2072. Provided you're still alive in 2072, I hope that this disclosure will not bother you too much (you will probably have larger issues at that time than concerns over what you put on you census form in April of 2000 ). Raw population counts (age, race) grouped by census tract (~3000 people) are available a little over one year after the decennial census (~ summer 2001). This pop count info (the STF-1A data) is used by federal agencies and state governments for redistricting, apportioning federal monies, etc. Regarding lying about ages - this is _far_ less common than people lying about their incomes when they happen to get the "long form". One of every seven households gets the long form. The long form is used to calculate statistics that are then grouped by census tract (~3000 people). This calculated data shows income, house size, etc. averaged over the entire census tract. It is generally available two years after the decenial census on the STF-3 data release. Regarding early disclosure of census information for bonna fide research purposes - some of this is done under very carefully controlled circumstances. Write me off-line if you are interested in learning more about this and how they statistically "scramble" the data so as to ensure complete privacy and confidentiality. Visit the Bureau of the Census site (www.census.gov) - there is an incredible amount of interesting summary statistics and information available (e.g., the population of Hawaii in 1900 was 154,001 while in 1990 it was 1,108,229).

He was 62. Authorities said Taylor was stricken at his home in suburban Duncanville and died Wednesday at Charleton Methodist Medical Center. The Crawfordsville, Ark., native was nicknamed the ``Philosopher of Soul'' by Memphis' Stax Records. ``I do love music because it's always loved me,'' Taylor told The Dallas Morning News in 1999. ``It gives me a certain kind of feeling. ``The material I choose isn't black music or white music,'' he said. ``It's just music -- real, honest music.'' Taylor was a protege of Sam Cooke and took over the Soul Stirrers after Cooke left gospel for rhythm and blues in the 1950s. In the mid-1960s, he decided to settle in Dallas after playing a show in the city. He lived there more than 30 years. In 1968, Taylor scored his first number one on the R&B charts with ``Who's Making Love,'' his first million-seller, followed by a steady run of other hits. When Stax went bankrupt in 1975, Taylor signed to Columbia Records and had his biggest commercial success with ``Disco Lady.'' ------- June 1, 2000 Bandleader Tito Puente Dies Filed at 3:08 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) -- Tito Puente, the exuberant percussionist and bandleader who rose to stardom during the mambo craze of the 1950s and paved the way for Latin musicians from Carlos Santana to Marc Anthony, has died. He was 77. Puente, who had undergone treatment recently for a heart ailment, died at a hospital Wednesday. Decades before the current ``Latin explosion'' of Anthony, Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez, Puente -- a contemporary of the Desi Arnaz -- was driving audiences to the dance floor with his wide-eyed, energetic style and influential sound. He created his own jazz by blending Latin rhythm with the Big Band stylings of Tommy Dorsey and Count Basie. In a six-decade career that began at age 13, the New York City native recorded more than 100 albums and won five Grammys. His most recent Grammy, best tropical Latin performance for ``Mambo Birdland,'' came in February. ``The excitement of the rhythms and the beat make people happy,'' he said in an Associated Press interview in 1997. ``We try to get our feelings to the people, so they enjoy it.'' Puente crossed over before anyone coined the expression, collaborating with jazz artists such as Dizzy Gillespie and Lionel Hampton. He wrote the song ``Oye Como Va'' years before it became an enormous rock hit for Santana. He performed with various symphonies, and brought his band to the White House for Presidents Carter, Reagan and Bush. Puente transcended music and entered pop culture. Bill Murray's character in ``Stripes'' hailed Puente's genius, as did TV's Lisa Simpson. Puente performed the theme song for ``The Cosby Show,'' and played himself in the 1992 movie ``Mambo Kings.'' In 1997, he received a National Medal of Arts from President Clinton. ``Tito was for me more than family,'' said Cuban-born singer Celia Cruz, a longtime friend and collaborator. ``Our world is in mourning because one of the souls of Latin music has died.'' Gloria Estefan, in a statement with husband Emilio, praised Puente as ``a pioneer in the music industry ... an inspiration for artists and music lovers alike. ``Tito said to us recently that his music was not only the story of who he was, but also the pride and the passion of a people rejoicing in who they are,'' the Estefans said. ``There are no better words with which to say goodbye.'' Ernest Anthony Puente Jr. was born April 20, 1923, in Harlem, the oldest child of Puerto Rican parents -- a factory foreman and his wife. His mother called her son Ernestito -- Little Ernest -- then shortened the name to Tito. Initially, Puente was a Fred Astaire-style dancer; a serious ankle injury in a bicycle accident focused his attention on music. Puente quickly took to percussion, beating rhythms on boxes or the windowsill and playing his first semi-pro gig at 13 in a local club. The high school dropout was soon playing the timbales -- a pair of single-headed drums mounted on stands and played with sticks -- with the Machito Orchestra, a group that had merged the Big Band sound with a Latin beat. Puente persuaded the bandleader to move the timbales from the back of the band to the front, and from his new spot, Puente became the center of attention -- animated and constantly moving. After a three-year stint in the Navy during World War II, Puente took courses at the Juilliard School of Music. He then worked with other bands until finally debuting his own, with the Tito Puente Orchestra, in 1948. When the '50s mambo craze swept the states, Puente's fame soared and he became a regular headliner at the New York Palladium. He moved to Hollywood in the '60s, working with the biggest stars of jazz and Latin music, such as Cruz, Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, Cal Tjader, Woody Herman, George Shearing and Hampton. Over the decades, the hard-working Puente became an international star, taking his band around the world. In 1992, his 100th album -- ``The Mambo King 100th LP'' -- was nominated for a Grammy. Puente is survived by his wife, Margie, two sons and a daughter. ------------- http://elvispelvis.com/texbeneke.htm # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SLarry3595@aol.com Subject: (exotica) BEDAZZLED is BEDAZZLING me Date: 01 Jun 2000 16:17:26 EDT Gang, I just got the Bedazzled/Lady In Cement cd. EXCELLENT. It say on the back "made in Germany" but despite the quality sound and nice artwork I'm pretty sure it is not an "official" release. Nevertheless I am grateful to whoever put this thing together as they did an excellent job and I have always wanted this LP (in part because I love the film so much) but I would NEVER pay $100.00 for an LP. I ain't got that kinda dough. If you've wanted this thing but are not rich I'd recommend that you go ahead and get this release. Bedazzled is very, very good ---- not the holy grail of soundtracks, but still well worth having, and it certainly sated my curiosity. Lady In Cement I had heard before and it KICKS ASHE. Lots of funky guitar go-go stuff. The Lady In Cement on this cd sounds superb. Probably taken from a well preserved or never played reel to reel from the sound of it. Outstanding for an unofficial release. I think our former member JackDiamond.com has some, and I'm sure you'll see em on eBay and other places as well.

Johnnie Taylor's part where he is playing in some theatre is AWESOME. doing the song "Jodie". definitely my favorite song of the film. Rufus Thomas cannot be missed either. Richard Pryor humor is at its funniest at this point (1972) with bits throughout the film where he is shot at what seems at a bar, not on a stage, so it seems he is hanging out with you. the only drag is the really lame song Issac Hayes does after his super energetic Shaft theme intro and the interviews with Ted Lange (Love Boat Bartender), he is so uncool and trying really hard to be "black" i think. but please do yourself a favor and check it out if you haven't already. bump ******************************** Bump Universal DJ Defective Records bumpy@megsinet.net http://www.defectiverecords.com "Music, Non-Stop" -- Ralf + Florian # 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: "Domenic Ciccone" Subject: Re: (exotica) Tito Puente dead at 77 Date: 01 Jun 2000 14:10:32 -0700 (PDT) Exotica List members: Thank you for the quick notice about Mr Puente.

For some strange reason they are ganing popularity, but resist the fad. We hope there's no need to add earrings to the excluded class. Excess jewelry can only make someone look like a hippie, a madam or Sammy Davis Jr." page 54 "Some rules should never be broken: Never wear a jumpsuit for example. Also: No leisure suits. No polyester. No lavender. No monograms on shirts. No mirrored sunglasses. No Hawaiian shirts. No army surplus. No white leather shoes. No Gucci shoes. No Gucci anything."

He was 62. Once described as so unassuming he could pass as a bank clerk, Speriglio ran Nick Harris Detectives in Van Nuys for three decades. He was romanced into the business by watching "Peter Gunn," the legendary TV series about a suave private eye. Speriglio was born in Greenwich, Conn., and moved to California with his family when he was 3. He once told a reporter that his first case involved a hunt for a missing panther when he was 16. He armed himself with a baseball bat and set off in pursuit. He never found it but got his picture in the newspaper, which led his fellow students at Belmont High School near downtown Los Angeles to call him Panther Boy. Later, he became a rock 'n' roll disc jockey--Mad Milo, he called himself. That career was low-paying and short-lived. Then he saw "Peter Gunn"--the 1958-61 series featuring the late Craig Stevens as one of the first coolly aggressive, lady-killer private eyes on television--and decided he wanted to be just like him. Some say Speriglio was more like Phillip Marlowe, the shrewd gumshoe of Raymond Chandler mysteries. "He was the Marlowe of our industry. He saw himself that way," Laikind said. Speriglio didn't mind tipping back a Black Russian before heading home. But he bore little else in common with the private eyes spawned in TV shows of the '70s. "Milo is half the size of Cannon, not nearly as handsome as Mannix and a lot shorter than Barnaby Jones," The Times' William Overend wrote in 1976. "He's a quiet, soft-spoken guy, on the small side, with glasses. He could pass for a bank clerk. But he's handled more cases than all the television sleuths combined, about 35,000 over the years." ----------------- Arthur Davis died on May 9 at the age of 94. He was an animated cartoonist whose career began in the 1920's at the Fleischer Studios in New York. There, he became the industry's first "inbetweener" (meaning he drew poses that fit inbetween the key animator's extreme poses). He also worked at the Screen Gems (Scrappy), Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera (Flintstones), Walter Lantz (mostly Chilly Willy) and DePatie-Freleng (Pink Panther and others) studios. He is perhaps best known for his work at Warner Bros. where he was briefly a director alongside Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng and Bob McKimson in the late 1940's. Unfortunately due to budget constraints most of his films were shot in a two-color process and most were with minor characters or were "one-shots" so his work didn't really get the due that his colleagues received. By the time Davis was finally making color pictures and working with the studio's big stars like Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny, his unit was eliminated. Art stayed with the studio and became an animator for Freleng. In the 1960's Art went freelance, doing animation, storyboards and eventually direction. His last work was on Saturday morning cartoons for Hanna-Barbera. ---------------- TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) -- Joe Massimino, longtime band leader for ``The Mike Douglas Show,'' died May 24 of complications from stomach cancer. He was 64. Massimino won an Emmy during his 15 years leading the band for talk show host Douglas. At 17, he was hired to play in Tommy Dorsey's band after an audition where he impressed the big band leader by ripping through Dorsey's ``T.D. Boogie,'' a tune he had committed to memory. He toured with Dorsey for three years, and went on to musical associations with ``Tonight Show'' bandleader Doc Severinsen, singer Joe Williams and the big bands of Buddy Rich and Louis Bellson. Massimino was known as a be-bop-based improviser who usually worked at an acoustic piano. ------------- From The Boston Globe By Tom Long, Globe Staff, 5/31/2000 Sam Spileos Sr. of Newton, the former proprietor of Sam's Beef and Ale House in the theater district, where a generation of performers sweated out their opening night reviews, died of cancer Monday in St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton. He was 76. Mr. Spileos owned and operated Sam's on Tremont Street for about 25 years, until his retirement in 1990. It was at the rail of the eatery, decorated with saddles and harnesses, that Richard Kiley quaffed a Bass ale after belting out ''The Impossible Dream'' night after night in ''Man of La Mancha.'' Rex Harrison often popped in for a quick one after performing in ''The Kingfisher,'' and members of the Boston Ballet would drop in for refreshment when in rehearsal for ''The Nutcracker.'' Members of touring shows would often blow kisses or shake their fists at the TV over the bar when the first reviews were broadcast on the nightly news. They nursed their drinks while waiting for the first edition of the paper to arrive. Judy Garland was a particular favorite. ''I'll never forget her sitting there and bubbling with energy,'' Mr. Spileos said in a story published in the Globe on Nov. 15, 1978. ''She was so pleasant to us and my son, who is a tremendous fan.'' A month after her 1969 visit, Garland died. Mr. Spileos kept the glass she drank from that night. The rim held the impression of her lipstick. The glass held the stubs of the cigarettes she smoked. Mr. Spileos was born in Boston. He graduated from Boston University in 1954. # 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: Radio Khartoum Subject: Re: (exotica) Buying Siesta on the WWW Date: 01 Jun 2000 19:30:49 -0700 Not to take away from the wonderful Roundabout establishment in the slightest, but with all the rumors that Jimmy is winding Roundabout activities down to focus more on the label side of things, I thought I should put in a plug for tweekitten.com and their cutthroat pricing policies.

It's fake, sure enough, but a darned good one. As my band did, to a lesser degree than this page does, the bio weaves in truth with the falsehoods. For example: - There is a lost film by Ed Wood called "Take it Out in Trade" - There was an adult film actress named Brigitte Lahaie However, there are certain things on it that are not true, such as the films he scored; all of the titles are fakes and Lahaie never made a film called "Hotel L'Amour" and as for Francis Hulot, I just think that is a sly Jacques Tati reference.

Obit. used the plane crash version: FRANKFURT, Germany -- A mass-circulation German newspaper reported Saturday that band leader Glenn Miller died in a Paris brothel and not in a World War II plane crash as officially reported. Miller, one of the most popular Big Band leaders of the 1940s, was at the peak of his career when he joined the Army, putting together a band that staged 71 concerts for more than 250,000 troops. He was 40 years old when a plane flying him from England to France on Dec. 15, 1944, disappeared in what has become one of the lingering mysteries of the war. But the newspaper Bild claimed that the real circumstances of Miller's death were discovered by German journalist Udo Ulfkotte in U.S. Secret Service files, while he was doing research for a book on Germany's intelligence service. He claimed the famed trombonist who wrote In the Mood, Moonlight Serenade and other hits died of a heart attack in the arms of a prostitute, according to the Bild report. Pentagon spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Scott Campbell said he had seen the report about Miller, but he had no independent information and no way to confirm or deny the report. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sections include an overview of their history (pre- and post-European contact); images and information on Ta Moko, Maori styled tattooing; a history of Maori units in the two world wars; profiles of past and present Maori leaders; and a cookbook of modern Maori recipes. Silent Era: the silent films website http://www.silentera.com/ Created and edited by Carl Bennett as a labor of love, this site promises to become a terrific resource for silent film fans. Still very much under construction, it draws from Bennett's own offline database of 17,000 silent era films. At present, the majority of the available content, over 50 reviews of silent films, can be found in the Silent Era Films on VHS Videotape and DVD sections, both of which also contain select listings of films available in both formats and recently updated listings of forthcoming titles. Other features at the site include a latest updates column which offers silent film news and announcements as well as site additions, a top 100 list of silent films, a (small but growing) collection of biographies of notable figures in silent film history, and related links and resources. Bennett plans to add a list of lost films and book reviews to the site. While still rather modest at present, there is still plenty here to interest silent film lovers, who will undoubtedly want to track the site's progress. # 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: "Nathan Miner" Subject: (exotica) Let the Love Shine Through....

It used to be on Motor - not sure what label it's on now, but I know Dusty Groove usually has this one in stock. It's mainly music from the 60s and 70s. There's also Francoise Hardy (but only her older stuff) and the four volumes (if you can still find them) of "Ultra Chicks" (again, it's mainly things from the 60s and 70s). Probably the best label for contemporary pop would be Tricatel, from France. They have a number of releases out, and are probably in line with what you're looking for. Chuck can probably fill you in more than I can on this music. (and where's Jill when you need her?) Hope that's enough to get you started. And if you like France Gall, you should check out her recordings from the 60s that were sung in German - they're even better than her French songs!

I recently picked up a compilation of "Das Beste in [sic] Deutsch" of France Gall, which while not nearly as indispensable as that 4 CD box, is a is a bit more of the same. Mercifully containing one German remake of one of her French songs ("Bebe Requin" - it's not as good as the original), it does have a few hits like "Der Komputer Nr. 3", a few pre-disco Morroder-penned tracks, and a crazy cover of "Music to Watch Girls By".

Any similar things in France? >Doesn't Katerine have a song on the Get Easy French LP? Yes to the second question. I still haven't completely warmed up to Katerine's last album (Les Creatures/L'homme a trois mains), but whatever is on that comp is from either "L'education anglaise" or "Mes mauvaises frequentations", and sure to be representative. His first album, "Les mariages chinois" was a very different affair, primitive, tinker-toy and managing to sound even like Nurse With Wound during the final 17 minute track. The album he did for Les Soeurs Winchester, is great, a bit stranger and funkier, and a nice contribution to the obnoxious girlpop genre (alongside the likes of Bad Dream Fancy Dress and Girlfrendo). Anna Karina has just released an album in France, written & produced by Katerine. Not heard here yet, but I was a bit put off when someone told me her voice sounds like Marriane Faithful's...too many cigarettes. To the first question: Initials BB. Bertrand Burgalat, that is. And his Tricatel label. I think there's only a soundtrack released under his own name, but he's done albums for Valerie Lemercier, April March, as well as tracks for likes of Kahimi Karie. A pair of label comps were released in Japan with BB in a several dozen guises, and there's a single comp out in France which mostly picks tracks from the two Japanese ones. Aside to Manuel: did you change your mind? Still nothing here.

I have heard Katerine, even had the pleasure of seeing them play live in Portland oregon about 2 years ago opening for the local band Pink Martini. It was quite a treat, modern bossa style rhythms and great melodies all sung in French. The singer plays a little nylon string acoustic guitar and I think fancies himself a french version of Antonio Carlos Jobim, very nice and tastefully done. I have their first album somewhere in one of my many boxes of tapes, i'll have to dig it out, thanks for reminding me. as far as similar sounds I really wouldnt know where to point you, perhaps that Motor Records Get Easy French Pop comp that came out a little while back might be a good start, if its still available. Katerine has a song on that one I believe. -jonny ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: itsvern@ibm.net Subject: Re: (exotica) DC Area: Honolulu Tiki Bar Date: 02 Jun 2000 19:03:50 -0400 > Anyone in the area ever been here? A co-worker tells > me he's been a regular for 7 years at the Honolulu > Tiki Bar in Alexandria, VA. Yes, I've been there - just had lunch (which, of course, included a mai tai) there 2 days ago. I've also written an article about this restaurant, which is appearing in the latest issue of Tiki News (#16) What can I say - it's a great place - one of the smaller family owned 'tiki themed' restaurants. It doesn't look much from the outside at all - its on a busy intersection, and the 7-11 right next door gets much more traffic - but once inside you are definitely in the land of tiki. The mai-tais and other tropical drinks are fantastic - the food good and filling Chinese, but not gourmet. It's a small place - several times I've been there in mid-afternoon and been the only customer. It is a family runned business, so chances are that you will be served by either David or Annie Chan, the very friendly owners of the place. Also, be warned that when they go on vacation, they close the place down for several weeks- if you try visiting the Honolulu in July you might be out of luck. Also, they have a bar, but no seating at the bar. The place is more of a neighborhood type bar than a fancy popular restaurant. There's a good chance that when you are there a table in front of the bar will be seated by a blue-collared working drinking Budweiser instead of mai-tai -- but I think that adds to the overall charm. There is bamboo, netting, tikis, red lights, lit-up giant transluscent sea-shells providing ambient light, two really nice murals on either end -- but no waterfall. There might be a small fountain in the tiny opening area, but I can't recall if it was operating or not. David, the owner, did bartend at the now-closed Trader Vics in D.C. - and remembers President Nixon coming in while he was President (his drink was the Navy Grog) David Chan bought the Honolulu in 1978, and has kept it running ever since. I do recommend stopping there. It's just south of the Telegraph Road exit off the Beltway near the Wilson Bridge. Telephone # is (703) 960-3668 And pick up that issue of Tiki News when you see it.

He was 79. Thomas, who died Tuesday at his home in Beverly Hills, had suffered three heart attacks since January and had been repeatedly hospitalized over the past few months, said Greg Lingo, a spokesman for Thomas' attorney, Frank D. Peck. A Chicago native who served in the Army Air Corps during World War II, Thomas gravitated to Hollywood because of his love of design and theatrical costumes. He dressed hundreds of stars and thousands of supporting actors and extras in nearly 300 motion pictures over his long career. Besides winning the Oscar for costumes in the 1960 "Spartacus," starring Kirk Douglas as a revolutionary slave challenging the Roman legions, Thomas was nominated for his designs in several other motion pictures--"Inside Daisy Clover," "The Hawaiians," "Babes in Toyland," "Seven Thieves," "Bon Voyage," "Ship of Fools," "The Happiest Millionaire," "Toys in the Attic" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks." His versatility in creating contemporary, period or fantasy costumes was attributable in part to his early apprenticeship to Irene, the famed MGM stylist, and to historical costume designer Walter Plunkett, who dressed the cast of "Gone With the Wind." In 1968, he became the first recipient of the annual "Waggy" award presented by the Western Accessories Group for "his consistent development of the most chic and tasteful fashion accessories in the motion picture industry." Thomas demonstrated a flair for the elegant--such as the costumes for Turner, whom he first met during shooting of "Green Dolphin Street" in 1941. "Lana Turner was the most clothes-conscious star I ever worked with," Thomas told The Times in 1988. "She knew fabric and color, and what worked for her, like nobody I ever met." Thomas' imagination reached into the future as well, as illustrated by his 23rd century costumes for the science fiction movie "Logan's Run" and its television spinoff series. The designer dressed both men and women--Marlon Brando, George C. Scott, Bill Cosby, John Wayne, Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Charlton Heston; and Greer Garson, Jane Fonda, Deborah Kerr, Faye Dunaway, Shelley Winters, Simone Signoret, Julie Andrews and Geraldine Page. Period costumes never fazed him. He regally gowned a half-century of first ladies, played by Julie Harris, Kim Hunter, Lee Grant and Eileen Heckart, among others, for the Emmy-winning television miniseries "Backstairs at the White House." Because of the wide range of his own designs and a zealous interest in costumes and accessories used in Hollywood, Thomas became a collector (once owning a pair of the ruby slippers worn by Garland in "Wizard of Oz") and a consultant at auctions of movie memorabilia. He was even asked to advise investors about current and potential value of specific items. In 1990, he estimated that a pair of the authentic 1939 ruby slippers worn by Garland as Dorothy could surpass $1 million in the future. Thomas also became a respected advisor to people who wanted to dress well, whether or not they were in the movie business. "One dramatic accessory is enough," he said in 1968 when asked by The Times to advise readers. "Her other accessories should be restrained. If more than one outstanding accessory is worn it not only detracts from the others, but overpowers the woman. In fact, to 'never over-accessorize' is the first law of being well-dressed." On style, he observed that ". . . too many women allow their clothing to wear them. Fashion should only complement the woman. The greatest compliment a woman can receive is 'How nice you look,' not 'What a terrific hat, coat, dress, etc.' " Thomas, who had dressed an alligator, costumed four chimps and made trees walk, even provided some yardsticks for Halloween costumes. His first rule: "Don't rent a costume. Half the fun is the pleasure you get from your own cleverness." He suggested buying in thrift shops, joke stores or hardware stores to become, for example, a penguin--black tails from a thrift shop, black stocking on the head, white face makeup, black cardboard nose. Or Mickey Mouse or a hamburger or a poppy or a vacation trip, starting with the appropriate color leotard, then adding cardboard or crepe paper embellishments. Although he did not establish his own couture label, Thomas was commissioned to create personal wardrobes for celebrities who admired his Hollywood work, including actress Kim Novak and singer Helen Reddy. -------------- Mary Langston, Cook to Elvis Presley, Dead at 78 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Mary Langston, who for years cooked Elvis Presley's peanut butter and banana sandwiches, died Tuesday of complications from a stroke. She was 78. Langston cooked for the King of Rock 'n' Roll for 14 years and continued working for his family for 12 years after he died in 1977. In 1984, under her maiden name, Jenkins, Langston wrote a book about her experiences with Presley called "Memories Beyond Graceland Gates.'' In it, she said Presley returned from a concert tour in 1972 and told her about a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich he had eaten while on the road. Langston said it took her three tries to get the sandwich to Presley's satisfaction, and then she cooked them for him the rest of his life. Presley died at age 42 of heart disease worsened by drug abuse. 06-01-00 / 22:23 EDT # 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: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) DC Area: Honolulu Tiki Bar Date: 02 Jun 2000 17:39:53 -0700 (PDT) Sounds excellent: what I want in my tiki bar - non-yuppified, as though I walked into the early 1970s.

I believe this group came out with 3 separate albums. There is a volume 2 SF-13300. Mine is red and black on a silver foil cover, similar to volume 1 (which is blue and white on a silver foil cover). I think I have seen variations on the covers which were less costly to produce. Perdido; Baubles, Bongos and Brass; C'est Si Bon; La Cucaracha; How High the Moon; Tiger Hunt; Mambo #5; Git Git Guitar; I Got Rhythm; Cumana; I Get a Kick Out of You; Chinatown Then there is one which, from all indications, is by the same group called the Hollywood Pops Symphony and a Sonic Workshop Project Number 0100. This album is a gatefold produced by Miller International Company, Swarthmore, PA (the other two albums are also by Miller, but in Media, PA). This one was under the direction of D.L. Miller as are the other two...but with the date October 1960. Listed as percussionists: Irv Cottler, Larry Bunker and Dale Anderson (just like in the other two) but also Gene Estes and Hubert Anderson. It has a super cover, a 3D moving image that goes between two different renditions of the word MOTION in red and gold: the album called Motion in Percussion. Malaguena; Sabre Dance; Old Soft Shoe; Bats in the Belfrey; Ghost Riders in the Sky; Voodoo Moon; Roller Coaster; Dizzy Fingers; Caravan; Flight of the Bumblebee; Beguine for Bongos; and Ski Run. I would GUESS that Motion in Percussion is actually the first album to be released, then came the other two...but I would be glad to learn there are more out there or that Motion was maybe the 3rd album...who knows? I am VERY sure, though, that these are the same people with only minor personnel changes between. I was lucky to come across Motion in Percussion on ebay. There was no picture and very little description...but I couldn't help but believe this was a rare gem for percussion lovers. I believe it is...as I have seen plenty of Perspectives albums, but only seen one of this one. I think all three volumes are essential if you like this kind of thing! They were well recorded and did have top musicians. Gaylord Carter is the organist, Paul Horn plays Sax and "utility woodwinds" and Pete Candoli and Don Fagerquist play trumpets...among others.

The CD's called "Havana Bananas" and it's featured this week at the Retro Cocktail Hour website -- go there now and enter the drawing to win a free copy! According to the liner notes of "Pagan Love Song", Billy Ward (of R&B greats The Dominoes) was captivated by the Hawaiian islands and as a result, recorded an exotica album for Liberty in 1959. This was two years after the Dominoes' last chart hit, so maybe he was looking to establish himself as a solo. We'll hear "Hurricane" from his "Pagan Love Song" album on this week's show. Also, exotic sounds by Martin Denny, Axel Stordahl and the Paradise Island Trio. Plus, new stuff by Arling and Cameron, Project Pimento and Dusty Trails; spy jazz from the Capes and Masks, "The Man Who Knew Too Little", Bruno Nicolai and Lalo Schifrin; bongo madness from Mike Pacheco's rare "Bongo Skins" (1954); Hugo Montenegro, Alvino Rey, Esquivel, Pete Rugolo, Warren Barker and more.

"Nu Yorica Roots is the third release in Soul Jazz Records' Nu Yorica series, and focuses on New York Latin music in the 1960s. Featuring dancefloor classics such as Tito Puente's 'Oye Como Va' and Joe Cuba's 'I'll Never Go Back to Georgia', through to the original Afro-Cuban sounds of Machito and Mongo Santamaria, alongside the experimentalism of Eddie Palmieri's 'My Spiritual Indian' and Ray Barretto's 'Acid', Nu Yorica Roots! covers all aspects of Latin music during this period. Mixing elements of Latin, funk, R&B and jazz in equal doses, the sound of Latin music in the 1960s that grew out of Spanish Harlem signalled the arrival of a new style of music as much influenced by the sound of Black America as by it's Cuban roots. The album contains many classic as well as rare tracks from all the masters of latin music, such as Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente, Machito, Ray Barretto, Joe Bataan, etc. alongside unknown gems. Nu Yorica Roots tells the story of the development of latin music in the 1960s from the mambo through to bugalu, Latin jazz, and other styles like Latin soul. From the original giants of the mambo -- Machito, Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez to the second wave of young artists like Joe Bataan, Ray Barretto and Eddie Palmieri that arrived in the sixties and redefined a sound, Nu Yorica Roots is a comprehensive guide to the development of Latin music in New York City." $18.00 _____________________________________________ UNIVERSAL SOUND: MITTOO, JACKIE: Keyboard King at Studio One 2LP (US 08 LP).

Indeed. Between performances by Italian nuevo-bossa group Balanco, bossa DJ'ing by Masoch Club, soundtrack bossas played live by the great Piero Umiliani (not to mention the stack of CD's and vinyl containing bossas given to me by Umiliani, Nicola Conte, Rocco Paddiani of Right Tempo, Alessandro Casella of Il Guiguaro and Le Hammond Inferno) you'd have thought I was in Brazil instead of Italy. But Nicola informed me that the bossa nova was as popular and influential in Italy in the 60's as it was in Brazil and the U.S. I played a bunch of Brazillian house records for the big beat bossa enthusiasts (and there were many), although Fez File and I mostly spun breakbeat and Now Sound records. Lounge Fest 2000 was a roaring success, with national media coverage, including television reports on Rai Uno, cover stories in Time Out Roma and Il Republic (sp), and more. The packed house of 800 certainly got their L 15.000 worth in entertainment as the show lasted until dawn. I should have the full report up soon on Luxuriamusic.com, with an extensive interview with Maestro Umiliani to follow (once I get it all translated from Italian!) salute! br cleve p.s. highly recommended : "Metti Una Bossa A Cena" (Schema 906 DLP/CD) a new collection of 60's Italian bossa novas.

The biggest problem in the music industry as I see it is people not knowing when it's time to quit... Safe to say most of the current material of those "stars of the past" is nothing short of dreadful. But there are exceptions... figure out how Brigitte Fontaine is cooler now than ever! And look at Tom Jones? I'm among the group that likes France Gall's German works but I know in this I am probably a minority. Best to listen for yourself, if you can.

I was getting ready to ask the list about the place in Alexandria after driving by it a few times. My girlfriend went there a few times, but it was a few years ago when she was much younger. She remembers it as being very fun and decorated with all the usual tiki accoutrements. She also said the the old ladies from her neighborhood went there together for their afternoon cocktails.

New album is pretty good, but not as many fantastic moments as on the sampledelic Foxbase Alpha. Smoother, with synthy experimentalism. Proper sleeve notes as well (from Simon Reynolds) and nice artwork. A safe, listenable purchase.

They're not an exotica band, and they're not smooth enough to be smooth pop (more the Jonathan Richman naif approach), but I do believe that Joe fits into the fine idiosyncratic songwriter tradition of people like Lee Hazlewood or Jimmy Webb. Along with Joe on guitar & lead vocals, there's the band's OTHER Joe, a mighty fine upright bassist... playing hooky from his Broadway pit orchestra day job to make this gig. Dean (sometimes known as Hal Blaine, Jr.) does his usual precision job on the drums and occasionally the ukulele. And there's always the fun of watching band arranger Andy switch between guitar, accordion, trombone, uke, trumpet, recorders (sometimes two at once, like a Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Jr.), maybe even ocarina... he'll probably leave the tuba at home though. Everyone makes with the background vocals here and there. If you like 'em, say hi... they're friendly fellers and would be glad to see friendly faces after the long trip (no, that is NOT code for groupie action). Tell 'em you're from the Exotica List and... well, nothing special probably, but it'll be a good social experiment. It's part of the North by Northeast music conference. Venue: The Rivoli 332 Queen St. W. Toronto, ON Canada For info call 416.922.2304 (or maybe it's 299 instead of 922? conflicting sources) Saturday, June 10.

Date: 05 Jun 2000 10:33:11 -0400 Hi, all, This is not STRICTLY completely off-topic, since the article mentions (once) the Secret Museum of the Air radio show... This week's New York Magazine, cover story "Wired Family Values," has a BIG article about adoptive families in NYC with Chinese children, and we're prominently featured (3 pictures of our daughter Sarah!). You won't find the name Citizen Kafka, it's Richard Shulberg in the article, and there's one picture of me with Sarah and my wife Annie. Content is not bad as these things go; a few choice quotes from me, and the pictures are really good, and big, including a full page picture of Sarah with two of her friends and 'nannymates.' Also, at the end of June, probably June 25, in the Sunday New York Times Arts and Leisure section, will be an article about the Secret Museum of the Air, Pat Conte, and myself (as Citizen Kafka of course). ck -- Listen ANY TIME at http://www.megasaver.com/sma/soundlinks.html Citizen Kafka, Producer, "The Secret Museum of the Air" every Tuesday 6 to 7 PM EST WFMU 91.1 FM & WXHD (Hudson Valley) 90.1 FM 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: Jenna K Subject: (exotica) DC Area: Honolulu Tiki Bar Date: 05 Jun 2000 09:41:28 -0500 (CDT) Some already replied, but I have to chime in!

Today, despite the horrible traffic backup due to road work on the main drag at lunch hour, I went. Very cool. Tiki lamps over the tables in non-smoking. The booths in the smoking section are roofed little bamboo huts, with crouched tikis on the dividing walls. The bar has a grass awning and a mural of a Polynesian village on the back wall. This is a fairly seedy little joint - definitely not Trader Vic's- but if you want good Asian food (Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian - buffet only for lunch)and a potent mai-tai (not likely to rack up 5 glasses on Kevin's page... too fruity and the taste of Coke was discernable), and you're in the area - you can't beat it. It's been open since "77 and looks it. Good food, good drinks and cool decor: kicks the crap out of such smarmy upscale dogfood eateries (clyde's, for example)that clot the area. I will go back. I will have to page list memebers when/if I eventually get out to the Honolulu.

There are some good b-sides from back then too. Some of my all time favourite sunny day sounds.

Always have been. They involve people, don't they? and people are unpredictable. Myriad factors are involved--timing, desire, exposure, motivation, perception, etc. etc. etc., plus the obvious stuff: condition, rarity and so on. A decision to stop bidding on an item and wait to find it another time at hopefully a lower price is a factor as well---we all have those numbers in our heads and they are all different. I have paid far more than the price guide value for an item that I wanted immediately ("timing"). It was worth it to me, and I never whined about it. The internet is changing the fundamentals of business and eBay is a big part of that.

Along the way, I ran across a couple of interesting spots that deserve a mention here. Hope you enjoy it. As some of you may know, the Japanese have a great fondness for all things Hawaiian. Oahu honeymoons and hula lessons to relieve office stress have been popular in Japan since I lived there back in the mid-80s. Young Japanese can often be found cruising the Shibuya and Shinjuku districts sporting bleached hair, fake tans, and wearing ensembles that are more than slightly reminiscent of a Frankie and Annette beach blanket flick. Up until this trip however, I hadn't run across much in the way of local tiki culture outside of the occasional tourist item in an antique store. As I was walking along the Yokohama waterfront one evening, I happened to hear the familiar strains of a slack-key guitar playing "Yellow Ginger Lei". Upon closer inspection I found that it was emanating from a speaker mounted in front of a Hawaiian restaurant eponymously named "Hawaiian Restaurant". There were two fierce and authentic looking tikis standing guard out front, so I decided to take a gander inside. I wasn't disappointed. The lighting was appropriately murky and the decor consisted primarily of bamboo, giant clamshells, trawler floats, and more Polynesiana than you could shake a giant cannibal fork at. I sat down at the bar and perused the menu and although my grasp of written Japanese is pretty shaky these days, I eventually spotted the katakana for 'Mai Tai' and asked the bemused barkeep for one. He complied with a very nice, not-too-sweet version served in a Collins glass with a healthy amount of both light and dark rums with a splash of orgeat. As I had other plans for the evening I didn't stay for dinner, but from what I could glean from the menu they seemed to feature primarily Chinese cuisine with a smattering of island...pretty standard considering how close this place is to Yokohama's Chinatown. Next week, I found myself in Singapore. This town's about as exotic as any place you care to imagine and contains a veritable potpourri of Asian and Pacific cultures from Islamic to Dravidian Hindu to Mandarin Chinese and all points in-between. You could spend literally days along the quayside hopping from one sleazy tropical bar to another. Due to the excessively high price of alcoholic bevvies on the island, I eschewed that and concentrated on visiting a couple of sites that I found interesting from a decor/uniqueness POV instead. First off, I visited Raffles which is a popular and extremely touristy hotel that was home to novelist Somerset Maugham and originated a drink that I'm sure you've heard of called the Singapore Sling. I'd been warned off of Raffles by the locals as it's hideously overpriced and their Slings seem to come out of a barrel these days. I was quite impressed with their colonial decor; lots of rattan furniture, slowly rotating ceiling fans, and old photographs of very sweaty looking cricketers but their detractors were right...the Slings sucked and I could've bought a half-dozen mango smoothies at the local food court for the same price. They were loaded with cheap, sugary-sweet cherry brandy, and didn't have enough gin in them to get a hamster sloshed. A day or so later I decided to go to the local Trader Vic's which is perched up on the fifth floor of the New Otani Hotel. Vic's is like an old friend: sure it's stodgy, usually devoid of customers, and also horribly overpriced but you always know exactly what you're going to get...kinda like McDonalds. I'm happy to report that it didn't disappoint on any of those counts. Even better, it was Happy Hour and that meant that I could get free spicy peanuts with my libations! I downed a Navy Grog and I couldn't leave without at least one Mai Tai of course, then bid them adieu. Finally, I ran across the following bar on Mosque Street in Little India. I didn't get to go inside as it was closed, but I got a huge laff out of the name nonetheless...

You are going to want to pick up the Exotic Trilogy vol 1 and vol 2. Each album contains about ten covers of Quiet Village, Taboo, and Caravan. These are "import" albums, but you can find places on the Internet which carry them -- just do a search of "exotic trilogy".

He was 58. Nogueira was a mainstay of Rio's bohemian samba and carnival scene for nearly four decades and was preparing to launch his 19th recording, his widow, Angela Maria Nogueira, said in a televised interview. A founder of the carnival group Samba Club, Nogueira wrote songs that were performed by stars such as Elis Regina, Beth Carvalho and Elizeth Cardoso. Among his better known works were ``The Power of Creation,'' ``Supplication'' and ``Knot in the Wood.'' http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=B206023 ======= Jazz Guitarist Joe Puma Dies At 72 June 1, 2000, 1:45 pm PT Joe Puma Joe Puma, a jazz guitarist who came out of the big bands of the 1950s to become a stylish solo artist, died in New York Wednesday (May 31) after a struggle with cancer. He was 72. Puma's first solo recording was the 1954 Bethlehem Records album, Joe Puma Quintet, that featured fellow guitarist Barry Galbraith and vibraphonist Don Elliot. (Galbraith and Elliot would again accompany Puma on his 1961 Columbia album Like Tweet, the title track of which was used in the 1987 film Good Morning Vietnam.) His most recent album was It's a Blue World, which was released in 1999. Puma performed on about 50 albums by a wide variety of artists. Puma played in combos ranging from those of traditionally-minded artists like Artie Shaw and Les Elgart, to progressives leaders like Jim Hall and Gary Burton, but he will also be well remembered for his work accompanying jazz singers. Puma skillfully backed such vocalists as Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae, Chris Connor, Mark Murphy, Morgana King, Helen Merrill, Carol Sloane, and others. Joseph J. Puma was born in the Bronx, N.Y. on Aug. 13, 1927, into a musical family. His father was a luthier as well as guitarist, and his brothers and sisters played musical instruments. Inspired by Django Reinhardt, Puma taught himself to play guitar. He worked in the 1940s as an army aircraft mechanic and draftsman, but, by the end of the decade, he had chosen music as a career. In the 1950s, Puma played with such bands as Sammy Kaye, Louis Bellson, and Shaw's Gramercy Five (in which Puma replaced Tal Farlow). Puma also worked with some of the foremost bop and post-bop artists of the day, including Lee Konitz, Herbie Mann, Dick Hyman and Joe Roland. In the early 1970s, Puma played in an acclaimed duo with guitarist Chuck Wayne, and continued through the following decades to play with such artists as Warren Vache, Al Cohn, and Jimmy Rainey. Puma also taught briefly at Housatonic College in Bridgeport, Conn. -- Drew Wheeler # 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: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) Speaking of Percussion...

Some of you may remember my rather lengthy post about this musician, who played Shamisen and Piano. My wife I attended his last concert and got a chance to speak to him again after about 7 years. He passed away of cancer this Sunday at the age of 45. Oddly enough, he had asked me whether I was doing anything musically and I responded that I was in a band that played British-style R&B, Blues and Dutch Beat music. He responded, "Good. You'll get more gigs that way." So it was ironic that I got the news of his death while driving to a gig. He gained some notoriety for his work (which was almost always tinged with his political activism), but, as I mentioned in my other post, didn't really get the recognition I felt he deserved. So that night, I played two gigs and wore my late Father's tie clip and privately dedicated both shows to Glenn. The shows went well, by the way, so thanks Dad and Glenn! When I spoke to him the night after the concert, he was humorous (with a LOUD, honking laugh), resolute and "pigheaded" to use his term. By this time, he hadn't the energy to sit up and talk, but he was amazing the night of the concert, he gave it his all, played energetically and was helped on and off the stage by precisely no one. It's sad that his music didn't get to a wider audience, but his activism and the spirit with which he infused his work shall persist. He is survived by his wife and son. To hear a bit of his music, go here: http://www.musicandarts.com/CD4962j.html , it's not Exotica, but it could be argued that it is exotic and certainly challenging.

One of the strange things about auctions is that often the desire to win becomes as much of a deciding factor as the desire to have the purchased thing. It's as if the competition amongst the various 'players' to emerge victorious can drive the price up to a completely irrational level. I'm sure some people say to themselves the next day "I bid $70 bucks on THAT?????". It's good for sellers but buyers have got to keep a cool head. I've got 7 things on ebay and not one has a bid. a bit of a drag. and to top it off, I stayed up to 1:00 in the morning to bid on the "Dunwich Horror" OST by Les Baxter, I put a bid in with less than a minute to go but someone beat me by a buck in the last 3 seconds. christ almighty.

Altough it seem like James was beaten by a simple thing: Was it $1 above your maximum bid? If so, the person who beat you might have posted a maximum of $100 higher than your highest bid, but the software will only top your maximum by the least amount possible--in this case, $1. Make sense? So if you had had time to bid again, and went up $20, it would still beat you by $1, all the way up til you topped HIS (or her, but probably his) maximum bid. I love ebay; but it's a cartoony scary thing now. Three or four years ago you could get unreal bargains on amazing stuff. Now it's so big that very few items sneak under the fence.

She was 73. The cause was lymphoma, said her son Drew Nieporent, the restaurateur. Ms. Trent's voice was first heard on "Let's Pretend" in 1935, not long after she made her Broadway debut alongside Jimmy Durante, Gloria Grafton and Donald Novis, and atop an elephant, in Billy Rose's "Jumbo," with songs by Rodgers and Hart, at the Hippodrome Theater. Over two decades, until the final broadcast of "Let's Pretend" in 1954, she entertained young listeners with renditions of princesses and fairy godmothers and found fame in her startlingly realistic "baby cry." A precocious child, Ms. Trent began her career at the age of 3 1/2, when she performed in a short film with Fatty Arbuckle. Soon, she was singing and dancing her way through more than 25 shorts with stars like Ruth Etting and Jack Haley as a member of the Warner Brothers stock company. Feature films at RKO followed, including "The People's Enemy" (1935) with Melvyn Douglas and Lila Lee, and "Keep 'Em Rolling" (1934) with Walter Huston. By the age of 6, Ms. Trent was the host of her own radio show on WHN, "Baby Sybil Elaine and Her Kiddie Revue," on which she would conjure imitations of Joe Penner and the Block and Sully comedy team before closing with a sweetly sung "Thank You for a Lovely Evening." One of the 150 charter members of the American Federation of Radio Artists, Ms. Trent also took the lead on "We Love and Learn," "Stella Dallas," "Aunt Jenny" and "David Harum," and performed on shows like "The Martha Raye Show," "The Ed Sullivan Show"and Joe Franklin's "Memory Lane." From 1973 to 1994, she was the casting director at the Young & Rubicam advertising agency in Manhattan. Ms. Trent continued to do vocal work on commercials and in her spare time took reservations at her son's Manhattan restaurants. "The woman on the phone has the most delicious voice: low, slightly husky, completely inviting," Ruth Reichl wrote in 1994 in The New York Times of Ms. Trent's mellifluous tones. "Just calling for a reservation makes you eager to eat at Montrachet." In addition to her son Drew, she is survived by another son, Tracy, and four grandchildren, all of New Jersey. # 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: "Mark D.

I gotta say, that sort of thing is brutal for schmucks like me who lack the software (and who use university computers that'll never get it). Although, if the scenario was as you describe it, it would have been pleasantly cruel to bid an outrageous sum and force the guy to take it for a buck more. I should have bid $100.00.

You don't want to do that -- it would truly suck if you actually bid last and s/he did the same thing. Then you're stuck with a $100 lp -- which, of course, may be worth that to you... I keep getting sniped (for photographs of Chinatown circa 1930s) by someone who actually overbids *her/his own bid* in the last five seconds. My guess is that that bidder does bid something like $100; it ensures that the item is theirs, but they have to pay a buck or two over their original bid. My philosophy is to sit down and calculate how much the item is absolutely worth to me (even factoring in shipping and handling), then I put in the bid. Important point: you have to put yourself in the right frame of mind for that one. No mess, no heartbreak, no anxious waiting for the auction to end, no constant reloading of the page. If I'm overbid by a buck, then so be it -- in my mind, the item's already overpriced. [Note: it's a little difficult to do this if the item is truly one-of-a-kind, because calculating the item's worth does not have much of a basis.] All in all, there's a kind of peaceful easy feeling even if you're outbid by 50 cents...

Chun Date: 07 Jun 2000 19:41:31 -0400 June 7, 2000 Aloha Shirt Creator Chun Dies at 91 Filed at 2:46 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press HONOLULU (AP) -- Ellery J. Chun, credited as the creator of the original Hawaiian aloha shirt that spawned an industry of colorful copycats, has died at age 91. Chun died May 16 in Honolulu, his widow, Mildred, said Tuesday. The Yale University graduate designed the distinctively colorful Hawaiian-theme shirt in 1931 and mass-produced it for sale at his family's store in downtown Honolulu. In 1936, Chun registered the ``Aloha'' trade name. The short-sleeved design was inspired by the checkered shirts worn by sugar plantation workers in the 1800s and the silk tops of schoolchildren sewn from leftover kimono material by their Japanese mothers. The style caught on with surfers, Waikiki entertainers and Hollywood stars such as Montgomery Cliff, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. Countless clothing manufacturers followed suit, often in gaudy fashion. In the islands, the more tasteful versions have never gone out of style, and men often wear aloha shirts instead of suits and ties in the workplace and at formal occasions. In 1991, the state Senate honored Chun for his contribution to Hawaii on the 60th anniversary of the shirt's creation. Chun came up with the design to help his family generate business during the Depression, his wife said. The first few dozen patterns showed palm trees, hula dancers and pineapples. ``He was very creative,'' Ms. Chun said. ``I'm sure he had a good business instinct.'' Chun's store, King-Smith Clothiers, also sponsored a radio talent show in the late 1930s, broadcast from Waikiki Beach. It helped launch local musical careers, including that of popular isle singer Emma Veary. Chun later closed the store and served as a vice president of American Security Bank. He retired in 1966 but continued to serve on the bank's board until 1980. In addition to his wife, he is survived by two daughters, a son and a sister. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "m.ace" Subject: RE: (exotica) Honda Accord, the Acura and Stereolab Date: 07 Jun 2000 21:21:34 -0400 >Having written that, I've also decided to boycott any film which uses any of >the following music for its previews: > >- "O Fortuna" >- "Green Onions" >- "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" For quite a while now, I've had a rule that anything with "Born To Be Wild" in the soundtrack gets an automatic failure.

(AP) - Tom Ayres, a music producer who worked with a variety of performers from Gene Vincent to David Bowie, died Tuesday. He was 67. Ayres worked for Hanna-Barbera Productions, ABC Records, Columbia Records, United Artists, Kama Sutra Records, Buddha Records and RCA Records, among others. His busiest days as a producer were during the 1960s and 70s, when he brought local talent - including Victoria Williams - to the attention of peers in recording business. Ayres produced the Dartells' No. 1 hit ``Hot Pastrami,'' and even played bass in the Johnny Burnette Quintet. He also worked with the Sir Douglas Quintet and with singers Ultra Violet and Gene Vincent. In a forthcoming documentary, Bowie gives credit to Ayres as the man who brought the British rock star to RCA Records. ---- From the Milwauke JournalSentinel website at: http://www.jsonline.com/news/obits/jun00/stein06060500a.asp Steiner was authority on early jazz recordings By Eldon Knoche of the Journal Sentinel staff John Steiner, an internationally known historian of early jazz recordings, died Saturday at age 91. For years, Steiner recorded jazz artists, and in the late 1940s, he bought thousands of 78-rpm records and master recordings of the Paramount label, which had been produced in Ozaukee County. He reissued many of them and kept others, accumulating about 30,000 jazz, blues and other recordings at his home in Bay View. Most of the record collection, along with memorabilia, artifacts and documents, has been donated to the University of Chicago Jazz Archives. Steiner, who wrote numerous articles and contributed to books on jazz, was able to answer questions from jazz scholars from all over the world, said Richard Wang, a University of Illinois at Chicago music professor, jazz historian and director of the campus' jazz ensemble. "His own collection was monumental, and his knowledge of that" music was monumental, Wang said. "For the 1920s, '30s and '40s, John Steiner was the indispensable chronicler of jazz," especially of jazz played in Chicago. When Time-Life Books published its historic jazz and blues albums, Steiner supplied many of the masters. "He was regarded as one of the international experts on the history of Chicago jazz and blues," said Jack Baker, a longtime WTMJ-AM radio disc jockey and program host. "He was quoted all over the world." Steiner heard jazz greats Jelly Roll Morton and Earl Hines in Milwaukee, and, after he graduated from Bay View High School, he frequented Chicago jazz clubs. In the 1930s, he recorded many singers and instrumentalists in Chicago. Later he would reissue Paramount artists such as Ma Rainey, Ida Cox and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Steiner died of an apparent heart attack at Midwest Dialysis Center. No funeral is planned. He was born in Milwaukee on July 21, 1908, to Walter and Jane Steiner and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1929 and his doctorate in chemistry in 1933. By the early 1940s, he and his partner, Hugh Davis, were recording jazz musicians Duke Ellington, Jimmie Noone, Muggsy Spanier, Bud Freeman and others on their Steiner-Davis label in Chicago. They also were reissuing some of the older jazz musicians through a licensing agreement with Paramount, a Wisconsin label. In 1917, the Wisconsin Chair Co. in Port Washington had started producing records under the New York Recording Laboratory label as a gimmick to help sell the furniture-maker's phonographs. A few years later, it launched the Paramount name and began a series of blues and spiritual recordings. The original recordings were produced in New York, but by the mid-'20s, much of the work was being done at a studio in Grafton. In 1948, Hugh Davis died. The next year, Steiner, who earlier had been married briefly and divorced, wed Davis' widow, Nina. She survives, as does Steiner's stepson, William Davis of Madisonville, Ky. Wisconsin Chair quit the record business in 1932, and by the late 1940s, the stockpile of records was housed in a warehouse in Port Washington.In 1949, Steiner bought the Paramount label, along with the records and masters. "He held those materials and kept them from disappearing," said Steven Sundell, a librarian at Mills Music Library at UW-Madison. Steiner also continued to record Chicago jazz, as well as music from Milwaukee and Wisconsin. Among the groups he recorded were the Bill Carlsen Band and Heinie and His Grenadiers. Steiner later donated hundreds of the Wisconsin recordings to the Mills library. He founded a chemical testing firm in Chicago, lived in Whitefish Bay for a decade while he was a chemical consultant and joined the University of Illinois-Chicago chemistry faculty, retiring in 1976. After that, Nina and John Steiner moved to Bay View. He was a founding member of the Jazz Institute of Chicago and remained active as a jazz collector and historian.

Records, markets, clubs and bars? check out Bar Marsella (Carrer du St Pau 65), probably the world's oldest absinthe bar. Never found much in the way of records there, although I remember a couple of nondescript shops off of La Ramblas. There was a cool lounge dance club that someone took The Millionaire and me too, but I have no idea what it was called or where it was (since we went there from Bar Marsella - hic!).

Yanagisawa, whose list of accomplishments included founding the Hula Bowl and the Aloha Bowl college football games, died recently at the age of 87 following a long illness. His family asked that no information be released. He began his career in 1935 as a salesman for a sporting goods company, Yanagisawa was manager of the old Honolulu Stadium and later Aloha Stadium. Yanagisawa, who also managed several Hawaii baseball leagues, sold the Hula Bowl in 1974 to Gannett Corp. The game was later given to the University of Hawaii Foundation. ``The modern marketing people in sports in Hawaii owe a lot to Mackay Yanagisawa because he was a visionary and he was an entrepreneur,'' said broadcaster Don Robbs, who worked on Yanagisawa's staff in the 1970s. ---- June 8, 2000 Ellery Chun, 91, Popularizer of the Shirt That Won Hawaii By DOUGLAS MARTIN Ellery J. Chun, who might not have exactly invented the Hawaiian shirt but who surely gave it a powerful push toward prominence, died in Honolulu on May 16. He was 91. Once there were no shirts in Hawaii, much less pink ones with ukuleles, but shocked missionaries hastened to introduce a plain, solid-color work shirt called a palaka to men. Women got long, shapeless dresses called muumuus. These early garments were made of native tapa, or bark cloth. Soon patterns were added. As American tourists began to arrive on cruise ships in the 1920's, small tailor shops began making custom prints on the shirts for the visitors. Hawaiians, in turn, started using them for weddings and other special occasions. Enter Mr. Chun, a native Hawaiian who graduated from Yale as an economics major in 1931. He turned a Chinese dry goods shop, King-Smith Clothiers at 36 North King Street, into the first mass producer of Hawaiian shirts. Most important, he gave them the name by which they are called on the Hawaiian Islands, aloha shirts. His wife, Mildred, said the shirts were a way to keep his clothing business going during the Depression. She told The Honolulu Star-Bulletin that he started with a few dozen bright printed Hawaiian patterns with palm trees, hula girls and pineapples. She said his tailor sewed three or four dozen at a time. By 1933, he was producing ready-to-wear models from cloth imported from the United States mainland, Japan and Tahiti. Surfers and beach boys snapped them up, and before long the shirts had become symbolic of easy, casual masculinity. To be sure, the cheap imitations, particularly those featuring pink flamingos, became gaudy badges for tourists. Aiming higher, marketers let it be known that each color on the more expensive styles carried ancient significance: Yellow meant victor, red valor and white holiness. Montgomery Clift wore the Diamond Head pattern in "From Here to Eternity"; Elvis Presley wore the Blue Hawaii pattern in the 1963 move of the same name, and Tom Selleck's Bird Airbrush shirt from his "Magnum P.I." television series ended up in the Smithsonian Institution. Frank Sinatra, Arthur Godfrey and Bing Crosby wore aloha shirts. Presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower equated them with weekends. In Hawaii, at least on Fridays, the shirts became acceptable as business garb. And the older shirts became collector's items. The most expensive command prices of up to $5,000. In 1997, the Honolulu Academy of the Arts mounted an exhibition of the most iconic aloha shirts. To Mr. Chun, the shirts were good business. His store embellished its easygoing reputation by sponsoring a radio talent show in the late 1930's, which originated from the stretch of Waikiki Beach fronting the Moana Hotel. In 1945, Mr. Chun became a director of American Security Bank. He closed his clothing outlet and remained with the bank until retiring in 1966. In 1991, the Hawaii Senate honored him for his shirt-making achievement. In addition to his wife, Mildred, he is survived by two daughters, Colleen Hirano and Christine Chung; a son, Damon; a sister, Wai-Chee Yee; and four grandchildren. "It turned out well," his wife said. # 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: HOUSEOBOB@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) "Trance Cocktail Airlines" 6.7.00 Date: 08 Jun 2000 22:42:19 EDT In a message dated 6/8/0 8:43:33 PM, you wrote: <> Who is this?

Does anyone have any advice on what cartridges to get to play the various types of 78s and where to get them? >> I'd be interested in hearing any replies too, so please reply to the list or CC me. I've done this a couple of ways so far. I have used a Dual 1218 turntable and a Newcomb Audio classroom portable. On the latter, the needle flips from LP /45 to 78. The Newcomb is much less sensitive to surface noise, it's almost like a built in noise reduction system. When I play a 78 on the Dual, it uses the same needle as on the LP's. I adjust the anti-skate and counter weight for 78's, adding weight. I'm just going on what I heard from a couple of people, for the most part, I have no clue as to what i'm doing with these adjustments. Regarding your computer software, I've heard that 78's may actually sound better sampled at 22,050 rather than 44,100. I've not tried this yet. Then the matter of noise reduction comes into play. Seems to be a matter of personal taste as to how much of the ever-present 78 sizzle to remove. 78's are great. When I finally got around to getting the equipment to play them, my musical horizons widened tremendously.

The early 78s which were made to play on hand cranked all mechanical machines used a larger needle than the later 78s made to be played on electric record players. I am sure you can find out exactly what to you use on the net are there are several sites devoted to vintage phonographs.

I should have bid $100.00. (I suppose he sets > > limits to prevent things like this from happening). Yeah, look, let me make this clear. This has nothing to do with fancy sniping software. THis is how eBay works. If you bid less than me, I take it for one dollar more than you bid. It's that simple. No software necessary. > You don't want to do that -- it would truly suck if you actually bid last > and s/he did the same thing. Then you're stuck with a $100 lp -- which, of > course, may be worth that to you... Yeah, you bid $100 and beat me by 10 bucks, YOU take it. Again, there's no software necessary. eBay will handle it all for you. All bidding software does is *hide* your intent to bid and your max amount bid until the last minute. This is good because most people think they are at a real auction and only bid enough to overtake the max bid. The software keeps your true max bid hidden until those people aren't looking anymore, then pops on and bids your max. This doesn't mean you automatically beat someone out. Only if the max the person you are bidding against has set is under your max. > I keep getting sniped (for photographs of Chinatown circa 1930s) by someone > who actually overbids *her/his own bid* in the last five seconds. My guess > is that that bidder does bid something like $100; it ensures that the item > is theirs, but they have to pay a buck or two over their original bid. I don't think this is happening. More likely, someone else stuck a bid in at the last moment and their max bid comes into play and trumps the new bid. Again, this can only happen if their max is higher, so if you really want it you have to beat their max, which is of course exactly how auctions work. > My philosophy is to sit down and calculate how much the item is absolutely > worth to me (even factoring in shipping and handling), then I put in the > bid.

If I'm overbid by a buck, then so be > it -- in my mind, the item's already overpriced. THis is how I do it. I think about how high I can go. Say, 30 bucks. Then I think, okay, if someone takes it for 31 bucks, would I be upset, thinking I would have spent that extra buck? What about 32? When I get to where I think, no, they can have it for that price, I enter that as my final bid, plus, say 52 cents, just because of the weird way the eBay server works. Also, I wait until the last minute or so, because I don't want to give anyone any time to think, "Oh, golly, this guy is willing to go to $22. Maybe I should go higher." I want them to have one shot and one shot only at entering their max bid. Anyway, that's the way I play. No software necessary.

I was only trying to show how offensive it is to inflict one's opinion on another person. I did however, overlook the fact that my attempt at humor, even with it's warning not to read it, was very strong and might bother some readers as much as, if not more then, the oppressive posting that Mr. Risser was originally responding to. I'm glad some of you found my writing funny, that was it's intention, but I am sorry if it truly upset anyone.

I was walking in a busy shopping mall with my 3 1/2 year old daughter and two young chaps were walking along in front of us. They starting in berating their employers, "My boss is a c***suckin', M.F.in' C**t" they started belittling her sexual preferences in graphic detail and just generally venting their anger over the whole oppressive capitalist system. The shopping mall was crowded enough where I couldn't quickly get close enough to them to tell them to mellow the conversation and I couldn't get away from them so my daughter and I could avoid the obscenity marathon these 2 guys were having. It wasn't their intention to personally offend me, but they did and if I had asked them to cut it out and they told me to screw myself, I'd have been very angry. After I left, I started thinking about Byron being offended by my post and I kind of knew how he felt so, I posted the apology. I have other venues for colorful language and I will use them when the need arises, and damn it, I can be incredibly funny without having to resort to that filthy corn shuckin' talk. -Roy # 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: "keith lo bue" Subject: (exotica) You Will eBay My Every Order....

Hate to admit it, Lang, but if there's something I see on eBay that I REALLY REALLY want, and I'm sure it's not something I can find elsewhere, I will lurk until the last 15 seconds or so before I bid. That said, such a sneaky technique can backfire very easily, and has-- if eBay is sluggish that moment, your bid my take a second too long to reach the server, or worse yet, your own server or eBay's server is down for servicing, blocking you entirely as you watch the auction end date tick by with that lousy schmoof taking YOUR precious item home for $3 and likely dumping it in a closet. It's an unjust world. My mother's closest friend's sister (got that?) buys compusively from TV home shopping networks....then she doesn't even OPEN THE BOXES when they arrive. She's got a stack chest-high in her living room. She's an extreme example of the vicarious buying thrill that 'remote buying' encourages. Having cash in your hand and looking at what you're spending makes it much harder (read: realistic) to part with. eBay and QVC know it. Happy bidding!

Is anyone familiar with the singer TOLEDO? He had a CD out about 4 years ago called Fishnets & Cigarettes. I saw him here in FL in 1997 and he blew my mind. So much energy. Cigarettes, gorgeous Betty Page-like pin-up dames in torn fishnet stockings danced on tables and roiled on the floor...the band pounded out a dark blend of afterhours jazz and noirish bliss. Toledo used his cane and even did a few flips with it... I saw him again about a year and a half later and the show was even better. All new material. He spoke of a new CD at the time. I can find absoluetly no info. on Toledo the singer anywhere or anything about a new CD. I believe he resides in Los Angeles? Any info. or suggestions? C.

Most of his LPs though I find either soppy and lightweight (soft, jazzy and dreamy, with no substance) or bland and disco (or do they call it jazz funk? - lightweight, non-threatening dance music). JB, I'm sure the vocals in Running are 'do be do, run, run, run' rather than fun fun fun. Anyway, Roy Ayers is one of those hugely collectable artists whose every record I've discovered has left me wondering why anyone would bother. Daylight and Everybody Loves the Sunshine are very cool pieces but on the whole, I'd avoid it all.

There WAS, I think, a soundtrack album for the "Murder, Inc" movie, with songs by Sarah Vaughan. Very rare, apparently, and commands a high price. Saw one on auction a couple of weeks ago and the bidding was well over $100.

He was 84. "He had cancer of the left lung," said his wife, Susan. "At about 3, he woke me up and he said, 'Honey, I love you. I want to thank you for being so good and helping me through all of this.' Then he told me to call all the kids and tell them to come home. They all came over, and he went real peacefully." Hofner was born in Moulton in 1916. His family moved to San Antonio in 1928. A singer and guitarist, Hofner came to musical prominence in the '30s with Jimmie Revard and his Oklahoma Playboys. Hofner, who fused country, western, pop, jazz and Czech and Bohemian waltzes and polkas, went on to lead his own groups, including the long-running Adolph Hofner and the Pearl Wranglers, until he was sidelined by a stroke in 1993. The Hofner bands featured a wide repertoire and top-flight musicians, including his brother Emil "Bash" Hofner, a trailblazing steel guitar player. In the early '40s, Hofner recorded the hits "Maria Elena" and "Cotton-Eyed Joe." Hofner and his band, which at the time included fiddler J.R. Chatwell, learned "Cotton-Eyed Joe" from a fiddler in Sabinal. "Somebody requested it, and we didn't know it," Hofner said in an interview with the San Antonio Express-News in February. "An old-timey fiddler was sitting there, and he showed us the song at intermission. That's one of the babies that made me. 'Maria Elena' really made me. "At the time it was released you could turn on any radio station and hear 'Maria Elena.' I mean any radio station, whether they were playing pop or country or what have you." " 'Maria Elena' was a monster hit," said country music legend Johnny Bush, the author of the song "Whiskey River" and one of many musicians influenced by Hofner's music. "Several people called him the hillbilly Bing Crosby. He was a pioneer of what we call Texas country music today. He incorporated western swing, hillbilly country, pop and the Bohemian songs. "Adolph had the swingingest band around. He was doing the same thing Bob Wills and Milton Brown were doing at about the same time. He was as much of an innovator as they were. He will be missed." In 1945, Hofner moved to California where his nine-piece band, the Texans, spent three years doing radio shows and rotating among Los Angeles-area nightclubs owned by promoter Foreman Phillips. "I moved from Corpus Christi in about 1961 to work with Adolph," said bassist Junior Mitchan, who left Hofner's group to play with Bob Wills and now works regularly with Bubba Littrell. "We played swing and all the German and Bohemian polkas and waltzes. Adolph had a real good memory. If you'd walk into a place we were playing, Adolph would remember your name and your wife's name, and he'd introduce you and play your favorite song." Fiddler Cliff Bruner, a year older than Hofner, worked with Milton Brown's Musical Brownies and then fronted his own highly successful swing band the Texas Wanderers. "Adolph is one of the legends," Bruner said. "He was one of the pioneers of country and western music. We were working at the same time, but there was no competition. We helped each other out. Musicians all over the world loved Adolph Hofner. We grieve along with millions of people at the loss of Adolph." Hofner also influenced a younger generation of musicians. "It's ironic. I read that Pearl Beer is staying in San Antonio, and, for years, Adolph Hofner was Pearl Beer," said Billy Mata, leader of the Texas Tradition band.

I think it's a good record for a few songs but not as a complete record. Of course I find this a lot with many soundtracks. Another decent Ayers' album is "Red Black & Green" at a point where Ayers' jazz began to break down into his soul/funk sound. It's a bit smooth. I think it helps if you're into the jazzy/soul/funk sound too. Also regarding the "Murder, Inc." Time album by Irving Joseph, it is high on my list of crime jazz, especially because it isn't from an actual soundtrack but was inspired by the action jazz trend. This makes every song stand out as its own piece. Worth the effort to get a good copy if you like that kind of music.

He was 87. Killgallon suffered a stroke three weeks ago and a heart attack a few days later. He died Thursday near his home in Charlottesville, Va., said his son William Carpenter Killgallon. Killgallon was a vice president at the Ohio Art Co. when it acquired the rights to the toy, which had been produced in England as the DoodleMaster Magic Screen. Killgallon and another executive came up with the Etch A Sketch name. Etch A Sketch -- which has two knobs that turn to make doodles and can be shaken to make the images disappear -- was an instant success in the early 1960s and billed as the hottest toy since the Hula-Hoop. Ohio Art has sold more than 100 million Etch A Sketches, which are still made in Bryan. Killgallon became president of Ohio Art in 1966. He retired in 1978 after his family bought the company. He is survived by another son, Martin Killgallon, and daughters Ruth Gilbert and Katherine Michelsen. ---- Irma Bowker CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (AP) -- Irma Bowker, a member of the Radio City Music Hall's original Rockettes, died last week. She was 89. Bowker was a member of the original precision dancing troupe that later became known as the Rockettes. First known as the Russell Markert Dancers, they later were called the Roxyettes when they danced at Manhattan's Roxy Theater. They made their Radio City debut when the famous theater opened in December 1932. At a Rockettes reunion in 1986, Bowker said was paid $45 a week for five shows a day, seven days a week. ---- # 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: Will Straw Subject: (exotica) Il Mondo di Notte Date: 13 Jun 2000 18:01:44 -0400 A question folks . . . the soundtrack for Il Mondi di Notte (by Piero Piccione) just went for $103 on Ebay, way beyond my threshold of temptability. But I'd do almost anything to get a tape of the movie, or of the "Europa di notte" film which it seems to have copied. These were both early/pre- Mondo films, and I can't seem to find any source for them. Any suggestions . . . While we're on Ebay . . . the prices for Confidential and Confidential-like mags of the 1950s have quadrupled over the last month or so, with run of the mill mid-decade titles being driven up to $50 or $60. Is this just Ebay-fueled inflation, or is something else going on here?

I was fifth in line but that didn't give me much of an advantage when the doors opened. By the time I got through the fifth dealer's batch of soundtracks and was STILL seeing nothing but "Mary Poppins"; "Star Wars", and "Rocky" lps, well, I gathered that others had beat me to them. People on the net that is. The main soundtrack guy said he doesn't put out anything that hasn't failed on eBay first. And the whole show was like that; all the records seemed like someone else's leftovers. That, combined with the fact that a lot of dealers here still don't seem clued into the exotica/incredibly strange/ early-electronic thing, make this show a tough nut to crack. But I got a few things nonetheless, and I can't complain - I got $300 in trade from 65 garage-sale records I had brought around to some stores the day before. So here's what I got over the weekend, both at the show and elsewhere: "Education of Sonny Carson" OST (blaxplo, some good tracks) "Exotic Percussion and Brilliant Brass" by John Evans (not bad for 50 cents, has nutty bird sounds etc.) "Passionate Percussion" by Don Catelli & All Stars (again, not bad for 50 cents) "Black Emmanuelle" OST by Nico Fidenco, original issue (this was definitely not 50 cents, but it's good. An Emmanuelle porno set in Africa made in 1975 - how can ya go wrong?) "Mondo Hollywood" OST. (Hippie soundtrack. so-so) "Word Jazz" by Ken Nordine (in the $2.00 bin. I should have got this long before as I quite like it). "Jazz Raga" by Gabor Szabo (again, in the $2.00 bin and plays beautifully. Tons of sitar and the like. One track even has Gabor "singing"/"narrating" some trippy poem through a vocoder of some sort. I have a bunch of records by Szabo but this might be my fave). "Exotica Suite" by Martin Denny and Si Zentner (one of those records that looks absolutely MINT but when you play it sounds a little bit noisy. A lo-fi pressing, I suppose. But the music ain't all that great in my opinion so it doesn't really bother me). "Tangerine Zoo" by Tangerine Zoo. (Cool psych re-issue). "The Soul of Nigger Charley" OST by Don Costa (again, not cheap but has some really good tracks). "Montana Slim's Greatest Hits" by Montana Slim (50 cents, has some beautiful old country death songs on it. I'm big on those.) hope everyone else out there has had some luck with the records too.

Greenspun Date: 13 Jun 2000 22:20:46 -0400 (EDT) Forwarded from rec.music.bluenote Abram Lincoln, one of the greatest of all jazz trombone players, died at home on June 8, 2000 at 3:30 PM. He was 93. Please visit Abe's web pages at http://www.riverwalk.org/profiles/lincoln.htm. The following is contributed by Jim Cullum Jazz Band trombonist Mike Pittsley: "It is with great personal sadness that I note the passing of Abram 'Abe' Lincoln, a true legend and vastly underrated giant of the jazz trombone. Abe's hot, fiery style and instantly identifiable sound make it impossible to mistake him for any other trombonist. He was my primary influence and I've always tried to incorporate the same degree of energy and excitement in my own playing. "I first heard Abe on an album loaned to me by my high school band director. He wanted to expose me to the playing of another jazz trombone legend, Jack Teagarden. However, there was another trombonist on this album whose playing caught my attention even more. The album was 'Coast Concert' and the other trombonist was Abe Lincoln. I was truly knocked out by his aggressive, no-holds-barred approach. Although I certainly took note of Jack Teagarden's playing, I found myself even more intrigued and inspired by Abe Lincoln. While Jack's playing was flawless, Abe was 'pushing the envelope' and playing with true passion. As I began to grow and develop as a jazz trombonist, I became increasingly captivated by the excitement he so easily projected in his playing. "In 1995 I had the great honor of finally getting to meet Abe. While doing some research for an upcoming Riverwalk program featuring the history of the jazz trombone, I was invited to attend Abe's 88th birthday party at his home in Southern California. Although Abe had long since retired from the music business, he still played his horn for close friends and relatives at his birthday parties. I brought my horn along and got to play several tunes with him. I never dreamed I would ever get to meet Abe Lincoln, much less get to play with him. It was a dream come true for me. It was exciting for me to watch Abe as he played. He had a youthful, almost mischievous, twinkle in his eye that gave a clue as to the source of his energy and passion for the music. "The opportunity to meet my hero, and to learn from him personally is a blessing I will always cherish. Abe and I became good friends and he unselfishly shared his knowledge and experience with me. I simply cannot express the degree to which I have since grown as a player. I feel like I have lost a member of my own family." --------------------- David G. Greenspun dies; helped bring television to Las Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) -- David G. Greenspun, who helped bring the first television signals to the Las Vegas Valley in the 1950s by hiking to the top a peak with a 200-pound transmitter on his back, died Sunday. He was 86. Greenspun, a founder of KLAS Channel 8, was the brother of late Las Vegas Sun Editor/Publisher Herman M. "Hank'' Greenspun and was a longtime vice president of the newspaper. In 1998 he was inducted into the Channel 8 hall of fame with his brother Hank and billionaire Howard Hughes, who bought the TV station from the Greenspuns. David Greenspun was once an engineer at WNEW radio in New York, where he cut wax discs for Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Durante, Benny Goodman, Harry James and other top artists of the 1940s. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Fade ins and out.

(chiang kai-shek being very anti-communist having lost the chinese mainland to mao) so they became kupa(pronounced guba sounds like cuba) which to this day they are known as. from 1962-1984 they performed nightly at a hotel ballroom here. when the first taiwan television station was formed half the band left to become the first television band. these days they rarely perform. unless its for an international dance competition, or a department store opening that sort of thing. apparently younger people have no idea who this band is. but older generations do. i asked my adult class about them which includes some students in their 30s but no one had any clue as to who i was talking about. but a friend of mine who is in his early 20s(but also really into music) knew who they were but couldn't give me much information about them. i'm still not sure if they ever recorded anything or were just a performing band. any attempts to find cds by them has been fruitless but they may of released something on vinyl which of course would be near impossible to find now. taro in tokyo told me that there was a band in tokyo called "tokyo cuban boys". i've actually seen there cds here. so how many cuban boys(bands) are there? in the past we have discussed how exotica was made popular by soldiers returning home after the war having heard music from distant locations and it being sort of westernized versions of island music for western audiences. now what i am wondering this style of music ( big band, exotica, etc) seems to have forms in most countries. was this a result of the world wars and the mixing of cultures that way or did that just hasten the effect especially in regards to east meeting west? any thoughts? william in taipei. # 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: owner-tikievents@slick.org Date: 14 Jun 2000 02:22:02 -0700 LiftOff!

Taylor http://www.rouze.com/buzz/0/39453149-0002-7D1E-1.cfm Irwin Chusid has done what once seemed impossible, building a career as a music historian for once-neglected composers such as Raymond Scott and Esquivel. And if those names aren't familiar, note that they're the megastars of Chusid's universe. The record producer and music historian is the leading expert on musicians whose strange obsessions take them several layers beneath the underground. =A0=A0=A0 Chusid recently compiled his favorite examples in the book Songs in the Key of Z: The Curious World of Outsider Music (A Capella Books). A companion CD of the same title is available from Which Records, capturing great moments in audio dementia. Ordering information can be found at www.keyofz.com. Chusid recently took time from his archives to discuss Musical Outsiders with ROUZE. ROUZE: What's the best way to distinguish between true Outsider Music and posed dementia? Chusid: You have to intuitively calibrate the musician's sincerity and lack of self-awareness, while assessing the psychic damage. There are some obvious signs. The words "Weird" or "Crazy" before an artist's name are good indicators that they don't mean it, and that they wear eccentricity as a badge of honor. Avoid these clowns. =A0=A0=A0 On the other hand, bad teeth and complete obliviousness to prevailing fashion standards--and musical trends--are signs you may have stumbled across a true outsider. Or a Domino's delivery guy. But it's easy to guess wrong. Wesley Willis drools, spits indoors and doesn't bathe. He gobbles heavy medication to control self-destructive impulses and throws up onstage. But these qualities do not make Willis an outsider per se. He shares this behavior with many notable Grammy winners. =A0=A0=A0 And in album or CD hunting, a solid clue is an amateurishly designed cover on an obscure label, with a catalog number that ends in "-001." ROUZE: The book covers a few relative successes like Syd Barrett and Captain Beefheart. What's so outside about them? Chusid: Again, it's sincerity and lack of self-awareness. At least in the case of Barrett. Beefheart's a judgment call. Some consider him a Machiavellian poseur. I've never met the trailer galoot, but I suspect there's genuine psychosis permeating his gray matter. =A0=A0=A0 Also, I point out that besides Outsider Musicians, the book contains a few "musical outsiders." The Captain qualifies. So do Bob Graettinger and Joe Meek. Nutcases, both, and social misfits, but very influential. ROUZE: One of your more obscure topics is the amazing Jandek, but his lo-fi strumming seems kind of in vogue right now. Chusid: Jandek sounds like a muttering sleepwalker strumming an out-of-tune tennis racket. If you really think his quietly violent negation of all things musical represents a trend, then I had no business writing this book. =A0=A0=A0=20 You gotta remember, it's easy to steal technique--or lack of it--from little-known outsiders and trying to make "incompetence" artful. There've been a lot of musicians since the DIY revolt of '76-79 who were "informed" by outsiderness. But they're no more outsiders than Willie Nelson's a friggin' outlaw. ROUZE: The Shaggs story has been optioned for film, but your book is full of other fascinating stories that would make great movies. If you were running things at Paramount Studios, which would you option? Chusid: The Cherry Sisters, the legendary "worst act in vaudeville." The last of the five spinster sisters died in 1944, forever sparing the gene pool. The cinematic possibilities are boundless, and their story is compelling, hysterical and true. They never recorded, so no one knows what they sounded like. We only have contemporary journalistic accounts attesting to their awfulness. I have no musical ability myself, so I'd like to compose songs for the film. And I'd cast Sandra Bernhard, Lili Taylor and Janeane Garofalo as Effie, Jessie and Addie Cherry. ROUZE: Finally, with William Shatner's Priceline TV ads, it looks like Outsider music is no longer an inside joke. How will this change our world? Chusid: Outsider music has always been an inside joke--to certain insiders, who think it's riotously funny but who dismiss it as lacking substance. They can't hear the soulfulness and depth of outsider musicians like Peter Grudzien, Tiny Tim or Wild Man Fischer. For all my admitted smarm about Jandek, I honestly cannot fathom what he's trying to achieve. He's for future generations to decipher. =A0=A0=A0 As for Shatner, he broke ground with his paranoid-schizo dramatizations of the Beatles and Dylan. But he peaked in '78 with "Rocket Man" at the Science Fiction Film Awards, and he's been parodying himself ever since. His membership in the Outsider Musician's Union has been canceled. # 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: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) "MURDER inc."

In some places it certainly predated the world wars -- the Philippines was colonized by the U.S. at the turn of the century, so big bands and small jazz groups were probably all over the place by the '20s, if not earlier. Even up to now, every high school marching band can play "There'll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight" (can't remember the title) without knowing the title or lyrics. I wish I knew the dates of when those Latin "standards" were written -- were many written before WW2? There were many Latin bands, I'm sure, performing in Manila after the war. I suspect that some places more than others -- Olongapo, Okinawa, etc. -- have more chances to foster "Cuban boy bands." Filipinos are still quite fascinated by Hawaii -- but: even though Filipino migration to Hawaii began as early as the '20s (to the sugar plantations), I suspect that this fascination comes more from a midwestern-G.I.-in-the-'50s outlook than anything. Even now it's fairly common for little girls to learn the hula; almost everyone in the Philippines can hum, or sing, "Tiny Bubbles," "Aloha Oe" and "Pearly Shells." Very little in common culturally between the Philippines and Hawaii, except for the shared experience of colonialism...

Once I have had a chance to hear the ones I got (Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Perez Prado, Xavier Cugat, Mambo Jambo ( mostly Perez Prado with 2 Machito and 6 Tito Puente). Also, I discovered on their sister site (specializing in low cost CDs): Brass Menagerie Bainbridge BCD 1032. The 14 selections averaging 3 minutes each were all from TIME recordings. Bainbridge was kind enough to tell us they came from Time 2042, 2159, 2014, 2016 and 2028...featuring the orchestras of Jerry Fielding, Hugo Montenegro, Jim Tyler and Mel Davis. I heard some sample cuts on line and liked what I heard...not just brass, but percussion (bongos for instance) included. How to Belly Dance For Your Lover Sonny Lester Orchestra and Chorus Groove Jams 97002.

Date: 15 Jun 2000 12:01:18 -0700 (PDT) Speaking of overkill. I was in Turd Vegas last week and everyone had on an Hawaiian shirt. It looked like a massive early 1960s American tourist reenactment. Part of the LOUD theme, I guess. But a standout - the bartenders and waitstaff at the Flamingo Hilton wore an acqua color shirt with blue palms and pink flamingos. But unlike endless free cocktails, cocky toilet butlers and delicately scented sheep trained to low your name, these could not be had. The hotel did not sell them and the loyal staff would not descend to bribery. I suppose it's part of the great paranoia that keeps the drunks and cons in check... uniforms could be used to infiltrate... gain and edge, subvert, suborn, destroy. Too bad, they were cool shirts.

However, >they may >have been new and fresh to the rock and roll world. here's just my opinion: I know you're not dissing Kraftwerk per se, but rather that brand of music journalism that isolates them as the source of everything from new wave to techno. But I've gotta say that Kraftwerk a) made some staggeringly great electronic music that still sounds amazing today, and b) like it or not they were far more influential on mainstream pop than most moog records, as much as I love those too. And apart from the greatness of the music, Kraftwerk had a strikingly austere and minimal style or look -- they dressed like German businessmen from the 1920's for christsakes - and the influence of that is plainly obvious in a lot of pop bands that followed in the 80's. I don't think the same can be said about the music we discuss on this list, a lot of which was scorned until it started getting press in the REsearch books and elsewhere. Much of it really was forgotten and/or marginalized. The upshot is that the music Kraftwerk made WAS different than a lot of the moog and early electronic music at the time (barring, perhaps, other German bands like NEU), and their look and style was just right - and hugely influential - for their era. It wasn't just fresh to the Rock and Roll world, it was fresh period. But I think you're right when you say they were listening to a lot of the electronic music we like as well. And, of course, they utilized previos trends. Nothing emerges from a vacuum. That's it, just wanted my 2 cents worth. All disagreement is welcome.

I agree with everything you said. I have most of what Kraftwerk put out on vinyl and went nuts in amazement when early rap artists sampled Trans Europe Express! It sounded as fresh then in rap as when it first came out. I think Krafwerk are fabulous and think they were more influential and got more press than many of the bands we talk about. I also think Giorgio Moroder Hit it just right to immediately influence music in1974 & 75 when he took electronics and a simple 1234 beat and helped launch dance music to the pop forefront. I just don't understand why the rock press ignored so much of the music we love! I mean I would shop in record stores in the late 60s and there would be this huge store full of lps and 45s and the easy section was 3 times as big as the rock section! Really tons of easy, moog exotica records for sale. Yet none of the rock magazines like rolling stone even had a clue this music was as experimental as psychedlica. And I'm tired of reading that Neil Young is the "Grandfather of Grunge" and Kraftwerk the grandfathers or electronica. I see them more as "rock pioneers" For me, Kraftwerk had their own musical sound but this was not new music. Somehow when you do things in the rock world its treated as sacred. I remember the press drooling over how ingenious the Beatles were "using strings" in Elenor Rigby. What bs. Strings were used in rock way before that and in the easy world way way long ago. I just find most of the rock press musically myopic.

Copy written by Dr. Billy Rogers "Seduction" was released in 1961 on the Fine Arts label. It was written by 1, Dr. Billy Rogers, with the male voice being Gregg Oliver and the female voice being Lois Cooper. The background "music" and sound effects were created by electric guitarist, Del Staton. It is a story/play about the antics of this "super male" beatnik guy and his escapades in the male/female mattress mounting trophy arena. It is the story of his falling for a lady name of "Roxanne" whom we never actually hear from, but with the added sound effects and prose that comes from Lois Cooper and Del Staton, we do know all that is going on. This is done VERY well and certainly just may be 1 of the most unusual recordings you have ever heard. This is not a "sex" recording per se'. It is however, for very hip/hep adults, who dig the beatnik jive, from an era that has passed many of us by, that will never repeat itself, in its purity. The MP3 Sound Samples provided for "Seduction" are pretty large files; 2 are approx. 350 kb and 1 clocks in at 550 kb, so prepare yourself to be downloading for awhile, if you don't have a fast connection. If you do, then fagettetabout it, time is nothing, ain't it ? (sarcasm) Each side is each side, meaning it is "1 piece" as the story unfolds. I tried to give you a very good idea of what this recording is all about, hence the larger than usual sound files.

That's Side 1. Side 2 is the music without the spoken word, each its very own pieces ranging from 3 or so minutes and are titled as such; Side 1: Like Hansel and Gretel, Like The Shoemaker and The Elves, Like Rumpelstiltskin ?

I don't know what exactely they listened to, but I know that most of the records discussed in the Exotica list simply weren't available in Germany at that time, let alone a focus of attention to anybody. When did YOU listen to "Song of the Second Moon"? In 1973? Fact is that Ralf and Florian personally knew some of the pioneers of electronic music and inventors of electronic music instruments, such as Oscar Sala for instance. And of course they were aware of the possibility of synthetic machine-made music as everybody else. The question however is: why and when did these ideas influence their own music and band concept in an essential and conceptual way? Unlike this article suggests, they were not the only ones who played with these new machines in the early 70s. As already discussed in this list before, Giorgio Moroder worked on the very same ideas at the same time, even using the same instruments probably, and I believe Ralf Hutter, when he says, the musical ideas simply came from the machines. When you start a sequencer you get the idea instantly, you just have to understand what you hear. It's a machine that plays music, and it sounds like a machine that plays music. At that time this was an amazing experience. Yet it wasn't before the Man Machine album that Kraftwerk turned their admiration for music machines into an actual band concept; on Autobahn, Radioactivity and Transeuropaexpress they still use sequencers for all kinds of pop songs like others did as well. I'm not even sure, that the monotone way they used synthesizers and sequencers was so intentional and conceptual in the beginning. I rather assume they just couldn't play funkier and they were self-confident enough to accept their own musical results as good enough to be published. They grew into their concept during a couple of years, step by step, like all great artists. For others the idea of turning the fact, that music is played by machines, into a concept, may even have been too simple and it took Kraftwerk some 20 years to get reputation for it.

Anyone who attended care to do the honours? The article reviewing the entire festival has been submitted to Luxuriamusic.com and should be up soon, I would imagine. But to summarize, Umiliani performed a great many of his best known (to reissue buyers) compositions, accompanied by a drummer, trombonist and female vocalist. He himsef played digital piano, electric organ and keyboard bass. His set lasted a bit over an hour, During the course of the performance, he would step up to the microphone and tell stories about the songs and anecdotes about them and their recording, including a number of tales about Chet Baker and Gato Barbieri, both of whom worked under the maestro for some time in the 1960's. Clips of some of the films that he scored appeared on screens on each side of the stage. Umilani suffered a debilitating stroke in the 1980's, and while he's recovered nicely, his speech and movements are somewhat slurred. My favorite piece of the evening was the vocal version of "You Should Have Warned Me', from 'Sweden-Heaven & Hell'. I spent a nice evening with him a few nights later, where he regaled me with more tales and showed me a lot of his original charts. He owns copies of all of his albums, but his wife has them somewhere for safe keeping. He's in fantastic spirits and of course is extrememly happy to be discovered by a new generation and have many of his old works issued or reissued (me, I'm waiting for "Intrique a Los Angeles" and "Smog", both of which are of the crime jazz nature I'm told) br cleve # 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: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) Kraftwerk Date: 16 Jun 2000 11:34:14 -0700 (PDT) Yep.

I do agree that the original LP (which were rescored rerecordings of themes from the film) is better than much of the original soundtrack music, but it is included on the cd.

Here is the story that Florian told me: They knew this photographer in Dusseldorf, an old man who had a small corner-shop somewhere, nobody famous, but he knew how to take portraits the old-fashioned way, including positive retouch. Very reasonable too. That clean surface was what they wanted. I don't know where they got the idea to take up constructivist art from the 20s. After all the 20s/early 30s were the last age when German culture was still "innocent" in its own right. After that came the Nazi years and after that came the time of American colonization. So if you looked back into the past trying to find some original German culture to relate to you had to go back to the 20s somehow. And Kraftwerk definitely didn't want to be part of rock culture. On one hand because it was something from "outside" that you could only relate to by imitating it - there were extremely forbidding examples for that in the German rock scene. Plus they hated the music. They thought that rock music is for "Prolls" (from Prolet = jerk, jock, primitive low-class person). And since they were hanging out with photo models and jet set people like the Krupps they didn't relate much to hippie culture anymore, so I guess they thought it's really funny, to have short hair and clean cuts. A business man was the anti-thesis to the hippie. It was their way to express a humorous punk attitude.

Basically, you look back and the history of music through the 60s and 70s is painted as Beatles, Stones, Santana, Doors, Led Zeppelin, etc.etc. Yes, true, but don't forget that RS mag came out as the print arm of the developing West Coast Yout' culture and as such represented youthful bands, trends, and their accompanying drugs and politics. I remember it as an 8 page little treasure at Blake's Pharmacy in late 6T's Lexington, MA, where I grew up. You had to unfold it as the cover was printed on half the back of the paper (hard to explain, YOU know what I mean) and at the time it was an alternative publication that clued you in as to what was happening in San Francisco. Garage rock and the British Invasion had come to the end of its road and the new feedback-drenched sound of acid rock was beginning to take form and even though today it seems over-exploited, over-written about and steeped in obnoxious nostalgia, it truly was an exciting moment in the history of youth culture and RS mag played a significant part in its birth. The ugly thing about it was that as Rolling Stone became more financially successful, boomers too were doing the same thing. Then they began to buy all that hype about what a cool generation they were and to this day are filled with that despicable sel-righteousness that turns off so many younger folks and even many fellow boomers <> Pat Boone's career was asleep during the late 6T's Rolling Stone birth. He really hadn't scored with anything since 1962's Speedy Gonzalez. Rolling Stone unwittingly was also giving birth to cultural market segmentation and as the Youth Movement of the late 6T's was largely a white middle and upper middle class movement in the U.S. Pat Boone's name surfaced again as the boomers became the "me generation" and began going into therapy to relive the trauma of growing up white and middle class in 50's and 6T's America. Evidently Boone was fond of using the ol' backhand as a means of disciplining his children and they reported him as "Bad Dad". <> Sure, but that was on MOR (middle of the road) radio, the kind our PARENTS listened to and we all knew that you never trusted anyone over 30. Jose was really an over 30 type artist and held no cache within the youth culture. I mean who was sexier? Jim Morrison or Jose? He even sang the Star Spangled Banner at the All Star Game when any kind of love of country was completely out of favor with the spoiled brats of the Baby Boom Generation. Today its obvious who had the talent and part of the reason I prefer Jose to Jim is because of the marketing of the alternativeness of Jim and his compatriots as Boomer Deities (blecccccch)...JB/Boomer who plans to write the song "Die Boomer, Die" before he gets old! # 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: mkg@calle22.com Subject: (exotica) Kraftwerk-like Date: 19 Jun 2000 07:11:17 -0700 I don't find Trans Am similar to Kraftwerk at all. In Trans Am you have those guitars soloing all the time. In these really elaborate, masturbatory, barroque ways. And the guitar solo is possibly one of the symptoms of rock and roll decadence that Kraftwerk reacted against. If you are interested in similar things (VERY similar, I must add) being done now you should look for 'Special Skool' a compilation of releases from the Invicta Hi-Fi label. Particularly Kraftwerkesque is 'He took her to a movie' by a band called Ladytron (formed by the owner of the label and hyped by the NME as the coolest band in the world). Also 'Dusseldorf Airport fur immer' by Funsize Lions, and a bunch of others in that same CD. Just read in their website (http://www.invictahifi.co.uk) that they've done a deal with Emperor Norton to distribute some of their releases in the U.S. At least Ladytron. I have a question to make. Since at the time I wasn't into this kind of early electro pop, are there any groups contemporary to Kraftwerk doing similar things? Early Saint Etienne is really too sugary for my taste.

Early Saint Etienne is really too sugary for my taste. as Ben said, The Silver Apples first two lps are fantastic. But because it's not literally contemporary with Kraftwerk, it's got a dirtier, more psych-tinged sound than Kraftwerk. The White Noise is a little bit in this vein too, if you like that sort of thing you might want to check out their "Electric Storm" lp. For that more Kraftwerk-esque Germanic sound I think NEU's first two albums (from around 72, 73) are great. They made electronic music, but it's a bit less beat-friendly than Kraftwerk, and in its own way more experimental. If you like Can or Faust, you'll like NEU (and everyone should like Can or Faust). As well, Ian Curtis was a Kraftwerk fan, and its influence creeps into later Joy Division. And New Order's "Everything's Gone Green" ep made great use of the same. These are just a few suggestions. I suppose one could just as easily cite stuff like Roxy Music, some Bowie, and later Eno. I'd stay away from Tangerine Dream though. jbrouwer's two cents worth. jbrouwer's two cents worth. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Will Straw Subject: Re: (exotica) Kraftwerk-like Date: 19 Jun 2000 11:29:00 -0400 Among 1970s, German contemporaries of Kraftwerk, I highly recommend Harmonia.

Lalo Schifrin: The Reel Lalo Schifrin: Yawn. I was solely unimpressed with this collection. Some alright jazzy stuff, but nothing like I was looking for. It pales in comparison with the Reel Quincy Jones (which totally rocks). Also, a weird selection, with nothing from Bullitt or Enter the Dragon and only one selection from Dirty Harry, which, annoyingly enough had the "punk" quote over it. Disappointing for sure. Herbie Hancock: Thrust: Not bad. Nowhere near as great as Head Hunters, much more abstract, but still durn funky early jazz-fusion. Ken Nordine: Colors: Out of print already, so I stashed a request on spun.com. They seemed to have multiple copies at the time they contacted me, so surf on over and check it out. Warning: minimum shipping is over 5 bucks. That's a rip-off for a single disc, if you ask me, and it's no wonder they are having problems. (Why can't people figure out that folks don't like being ripped off?) But the shipping levels out more for more discs, and even for three discs, the total was about 10 bucks a disc. Still good, considering I'm never gonna find them used (or even new!) here in this bastion of mediocrity they call Cincinnati. But, the disc. Great! Classic Ken, with little 90 second vignettes on over thirty different colors. One of those that I've been meaning to add to my collection to make it complete for a long time, and am glad I finally did. So. Anyone else score anything new recently?

Me, too! The stuff I found was mostly Northern Soul stuff (22 singles for five bucks!!!) and I also found a Coca-Cola Tray from the 50's for fifteen dollars, so I won't list the singles, unless you want me to, but I will tell you two stories of garage sale etiquette: 1. The 22 for 5 bucks lady: I asked her whether she had any books or records. She said no at first, then she pulled out two boxes of records, some which were her's, some her late father's. I didn't get the Billie Holiday 10 inch that I saw (you just don't ask folks for their Holiday, she said she would sell it anyway), nor did I get the Supremes picture sleeve ("Now you KNOW that's mine!", she said), but she charged me a VERY reasonable price and the records were in surprisingly good condition. 2. The second place I went to, the sign was up, I went to the house, garage open, no one there. I didn't feel right about ringing the bell, so I came back. They had just pulled up the sign in the yard. I asked about books and records and they too brought out the records. This time, the records were all beat to the dickens. Outside of the fact that the fellow read each artist out to me as HE flipped through the records (I didn't follow that bit at all), this time, for what I picked out, they charged two dollars for the singles, three for the albums, the two records with no jackets and all the scratches I could eat, two bucks. The album of interest to this group was Brother Jack McDuff's "Moon Rappin'", which I am told has some wild effects on it. This is the kind of stuff I would immediately burn to CD and lose the records. THEN they tried to sell me cologne. Had the records been out already, I would have cut down my choices. Since they brought them out, I said OK, but I bargained them down, because they were going to charge me more than I had in my pocket. I wasn't incensed, just a bit put out by number 2. Fortunately, the first experience had happened the day before, so I was in clover. What is the worst behavior that you have seen at a garage sale?

I've seen that a number of times and it always makes my blood boil. But actually, I'm just as pissed off at the tepid sheep that allow these people in ahead of themselves. I wouldn't. While we're on this topic. I peddled all over the town on Saturday looking at Garage Sales. An ad in the paper for one of them said "100's of CD's!". I stupidly gave this little thought as I figured they'd be a bunch of crap, and what I want is records, records, records. So I didn't get there till about 45 minutes after it opened and to my shock saw that it indeed had records, records, records. The guy worked in the music industry and was selling off all his old vinyl at a buck apiece. The lousy part is that they had been picked through by a bunch of guys before me, and they probably got some great stuff. Still I came away with 33 of 'em, mostly jazz from the 70's in mint condition. I got nothing exotica-esque, and I don't think he had anything in that vein to begin with. I'll resell these in Toronto and hopefully make a bit of coin. As for the price thing. When I ask at Garage Sales for records, and see them painfully lug up some dusty box from their basement that they had no intention of unearthing until I started pestering them, well, I don't mind giving them a bit more. Maybe $2.00, but they'd have to be in good condition. 9 times out of 10 they're 50cents a pop and that's cool with me.

Since at the time I wasn't into this kind of early electro pop, are there any groups contemporary to Kraftwerk doing similar things? The most similar one that I know is by nobody less than Giorgio Moroder, who in 1974 did his album "Einzelganger", which reminds me very much of Kraftwerk's Autobahn of the same year. I have mentioned this record so often in this list that I'm in danger of qualifying as a Moroder fan one day, but that would go too far. But I don't think Neu! or Harmonia or any of these bands were so close to this sound in 1974 as Moroder and Kraftwerk are here.

(AP) - Jazz bassist Burgher ``Buddy'' Jones, who played in big bands behind Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra and toured with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, died June 9 of pancreatic cancer. He was 76. A native of Hope, Ark., Jones was a childhood friend of the late Virginia Kelley, mother of President Clinton. At 17, Jones went to the University of Kansas City, where he met and befriended saxophonist Charlie Parker. Jones later introduced Parker to his wife, Chan. Jones played in the Elliot Lawrence band, when its arrangers included Al Cohn, Tiny Kahn and Johnny Mandel. As a staff musician for CBS in New York in the 1950s and 1960s, Jones played for the Jack Sterling radio show and in bands behind Lee and Sinatra. Jones can be heard on the well-known ``Phil and Quill'' album recorded by saxophonists Phil Woods and Gene Quill. Jones worked as a consultant with Lenny Niehaus and Clint Eastwood on the motion picture ``Bird,'' a biography of Parker. In 1996, Jones was inducted into the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame. === NEW YORK (AP) - Ruth Rubin, a scholar, collector and performer of Yiddish folk songs, died Sunday in Mamaroneck, N.Y. She was 93. One of the first women to become a prominent folklorist, Rubin was also among the first American scholars to document the culture of Eastern European Jews. Her collection of about 2,000 recorded songs was a cornerstone of the Yiddish revival movement in the 1970s. Rubin's books included ``A Treasury of Jewish Folksong'' (1950) and ``Voices of a People: The Story of Yiddish Folksong'' (1963). Her studio recordings of the songs for Folkways in the 1940s are available through the Smithsonian Institution. In the mid-1930s Rubin began concentrating seriously on folklore, going on to study with Max Weinreich and, during World War II, translating diaries smuggled out of ghettos and Nazi camps. With the revelation of the extent of the Holocaust, and its sweeping destruction of Yiddish culture, Rubin became determined to preserve a piece of what remained by making field recordings Dragging a bulky reel-to-reel tape recorder from house to house in cities in Canada and the United States, she captured well- and lesser-known songs that flourished in more intimate, domestic settings, like the kitchen or over the cradle. Unlike klezmer music, which was performed primarily by men at public occasions, the songs Rubin recorded were sung almost exclusively by women, a group largely ignored by the cultural chroniclers of her day. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Peter Risser" Subject: Re: (exotica) Kraftwerk-like Date: 20 Jun 2000 00:04:27 -0400 > >I have a question to make.

I seem to remember the band Neu was similar in vein. The drawn-out droney thing anyway. Probably not as technophilic. Somewhere between Kraftwerk and Can. I was wondering if maybe these guys weren't listening to a little bit of Neu when they started out. Anyway. It's been a long time though. Also, I didn't notice the guitar solos in Trans Am. In fact, I didn't think they had a guitar. Keyboard solos maybe. I'll go listen again.
