It certainly is hard to get a large group of people to act as one, and much as we'd all be happy if these things were handled politely, its just not so easy to control. This being said I must say again that I really do not find this list to be particularly nasty, unforgiving or aggressive. JD lashed out without thinking and so I suspect did a few people in rapid response. I'm sure looking back on it, everyone may likely agree they acted in haste, but that's human nature. The fact that the JD 'performance' was repeated before probably didn't help the situation and perhaps many felt it was done just for attention. I won't postulate further... This being said I somehow cannot relate that particular outburst to the (well you know who) situation. Here we had someone repeatedly lecturing us all on our collective attitude and insisting on telling us, repeatedly and without a break that we were simply 'wrong'. I can safely say I would never invite one of those polite religious canvassers into my house and I felt here as if one had been let in and allowed to take the floor. My work gets me involved with a lot of difficult people and I have a fairly high tolerance level, but I have to say this finally pushed me past the breaking point. What I most regret are losing a number of key members as a result of this episode but this too I realize is beyond our control. I've said more than I want but I would like it to be clear that neither of these incidents changes my views of the usefulness and importance of this list. Forgive and forget... please...

He was 51. Borrowing his nickname from the character ''Cubby'' on television's Mickey Mouse Club, Koda in 1969 formed Brownsville Station and wrote ''Smokin' in the Boys Room,'' which in 1973 rose to No. 3 on Billboard magazine's charts and sold more than 2 million copies. Brownsville Station disbanded in 1979, six years before ''Smokin' in the Boys' Room'' was revived by heavy metal band Motley Crue. Koda later played in groups called the Points and the Bone Gods, as well as releasing solo works spotlighting rockabilly and blues. In his dedications to his Bachman Book collection, King labeled Koda ''America's greatest houserocker.'' Koda co-authored ''Blues for Dummies'' in 1998 and has written a monthly column called ''The Vinyl Junkie'' for trade magazines. ------------ IRVINE, Calif. (AP) - Herbert Fox, one of the West Coast's most influential managers for classical and jazz musicians, Broadway performers and dancers, died Thursday. He was 82. Fox, with Columbia Artists Management Inc. for 54 years, was part of the early careers of tenor Mario Lanza and blues legend Leadbelly. He served as chairman of Columbia Artists Festivals, which toured talent ranging from Mel Torme to Dizzy Gillespie to the Ballet Folklorico Nacional de Mexico. Fox also founded the Broadway Theatre Alliance to put musicals and plays on tour, and managed the careers of the Southern California guitar-playing family the Romeros. Fox retired from Columbia Artists Management in 1993. He served on the boards of directors of Opera Pacific, the Orange County High School of the Performing Arts and the William Hall Chorale. ---- TOKYO, July 1 (Kyodo) Anli Sugano, a Japanese jazz singer who performed internationally, died Friday night of cancer at a hospital in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, her family said Saturday. She was 51. Sugano, whose real name was Shizuko Umeyama, participated in Canada's prestigious Festival International de Jazz de Montreal in 1987, becoming the first Japanese singer to do so. She also performed at the Blue Note jazz live house in New York City from 1995 until 1998, when she was diagnosed with cancer. Sugano, a Tokyo native, was also a radio and television personality. She started singing jazz songs while a student at Musashino Art University in Tokyo. She lived in New York from 1972 for three years, and sang as a vocalist in a Japanese rock band before becoming a soloist in 1978. She was one of Japan's leading jazz vocalists in the 1970s-1980s, along with Mari Nakamoto and Yasuko Agawa. During this time, she also hosted FM radio programs and a Japan Broadcasting Corp. (NHK) music program. Sugano produced more than 10 albums, including her 1982 album ''Love Sketch.'' She published a book in 1999, in which she describes her battle with cancer. ---- In alt.obituaries, desscribe1@aol.com (DESSCRIBE1) wrote re Kitten Natividad's health: Since there was some discussion here after the initial report of her breast cancer a few months ago, I thought I should share some more information I just heard. This weekend, I attended the science-fiction/media convention DragonCon. Among the guests was Cynthia Myers, former Playboy Playmate and co-star of Russ Meyer's "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls." Ms. Myers proved to be a very friendly, outgoing guest, and I wound up enjoying a fairly long conversation with her. (Incidentally, she's still as lovely as ever, too.) Our discussion drifted from her work with Russ Meyer to some of Meyer's other associates, and she filled me in on Kitten Natividad's situation. Thankfully, it's all good news. Ms. Natividad is now completely cancer-free; the mastectomy did get every trace of the cancer before it could spread. She had no health insurance, but Russ Meyer took care of her medical expenses. Cynthia also reported that Kitten's surgical scars have healed, and that she was ready to start reconstructive surgery (Cynthia thought she might even have started already, but she wasn't certain). I felt I should pass this news along as a follow-up to the original report. # 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: Moritz R Subject: (exotica) Tiki2Night summer event at Weimar, 15.-19.8.2000 Date: 03 Jul 2000 16:03:35 +0200 Maybe more for the European branch of this list, but if anybody wants to combine a relaxed week or weekend of far out Exotica happenings and a closer look on one of the historic centers of Germany's past at the same time and place, then this might be interesting to you: http://tikiland.de/tiki2night.html There will be art (I will be around the entire week outpowering my sculptural ambitions on some overdimensional blocks of Ytong), there will be music, there will be a press conference for the forthcoming "Book of Tiki" by Sven "Tiki" Kirsten, there will be hanging around in a tropical pool paradise and there will be a cocktail competition. Tiki2Night, as the name suggests, is part 2 of an event that took place here 2 years ago, when Weimar was "culture capital" of Europe.

For advance tickets, call 212-533-2680 during the two weeks before the show. The RSO's May 19 gig at the Museum of Modern Art's Jazz @ MoMA series was called off because of an ongoing staff strike at MoMA, with the RSO refusing to cross the picket line. In return for their expression of sympathy for the strikers, the RSO was offered a last-minute change of venue opening for Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos at the Knitting Factory. The players hustled downtown for a hastily arranged but tight, high-energy set. The RSO has been promised a rescheduled date at Jazz @ MoMA, hopefully in Fall 2000. The RSO, which performs modernistic arrangements of Scott tunes, debuted at the Jewish Museum in Feb. 1999, and has performed at Central Park SummerStage opening for They Might Be Giants, and at the Animated Music Festival in Brussels. The group consists of Wayne Barker (piano, arrangements); Brian Dewan (electric zither, piano, accordion, koto, electronics); Michael Hashim (saxes); Will Holshouser (accordion, arrangements); George Rush (bass); Rob Thomas (violin); and Clem Waldmann (drums). The RSO performed on WNYC's "New Sounds" with John Schaefer on May 11. The performance is available as an audio archive (on demand, but not downloadable) at the WNYC website: Additional performance dates in NYC, LA, and Europe are being explored.

MRI is available from Amazon.com:: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/music-glance/B00004SYD6/ MRI is also available from RaymondScott.com. Email: info@RaymondScott.com for ordering instructions. Some comments on Manhattan Research Inc.: "The electronic work of Raymond Scott had been long out of print, but MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC., recorded in the 50s and 60s, sound like nothing so much as the future." -- PETER BUCK, R.E.M. "Tireless dedication, impeccable taste, and uncompromising perfectionism is evident in every detail of this wonderful collection, which uncovers a neglected library of this maverick's pioneering electronica. From the astonishing sounds to the beautiful packaging, MRI is an essential release." -- JOHN ZORN "I rate Raymond Scott as one of the greatest music technology innovators of the 20th century. His music technology vision was so wide that today it is impossible to turn on a piece of equipment in your studio without automatically issuing a benediction to the spirit of Raymond Scott." -- MATT BLACK / COLDCUT "Raymond Scott belongs to the phalanx of unique people like Les Paul, Oscar Sala, and Leon Theremin, to whom we owe so much in developing our own musical identity today. MANHATTAN RESEARCH INC. is one of the best CD presentations I have ever had my hands on.'' -- HOLGER CZUKAY, CAN * * * * * * * # SECRET HISTORY OF ROCK book lauds Scott It was recently called to our attention that Roni Sarig's excellent THE SECRET HISTORY OF ROCK: The Most Influential Bands You've Never Heard (1998, Billboard Books) contains a fine overview of Raymond Scott's contribution to modern music. The book covers the rock spectrum, spotlighting such groundbreaking cult artists as the Stooges, Minutemen, Residents, Can, 1/2 Japanese, Minor Threat, Last Poets, and scores of others. However, the first chapter -- "20th Century Composers" -- features Erik Satie, John Cage, the Theater of Eternal Music, Philip Glass, Glenn Branca -- and Raymond Scott. In addition to his excellent overview of RS, Sarig includes the following quotes: DJ Spooky: "[Scott's] Soothing Sounds for Babies [sic] is f***ing brilliant. It's repetitive, with a beat pulse. I look to him as one of the originators of a techno aesthetic, in the way that techno comes out of the detritus of the industrial revolution." Marc De Gli Antoni, Soul Coughing: "I loved cartoon music, but it wasn't until [we] put together 'Bus to Beelzebub' -- when we found this great cartoon that we had to [sample] -- that I became aware Carl Stalling had taken stuff from Raymond Scott. [Soul Coughing's] 'Disseminated' is consciously a Raymond Scott tribute: a short piece, a wacky little phrase from [Scott's] 'The Penguin,' completely built on his loop. And on 'Zoom Zip,' the trumpet part is taken from Raymond Scott's 'The Toy Trumpet,' but slowed down and edited." Tom Maxwell, Squirrel Nut Zippers: "What Raymond Scott did was completely off the wall, very f***ed up tonally. ... He was a nut out of left field who made sounds nobody else was making. 'Powerhouse' kicks my ass; I love the changed times, the bizarre key, the weird drum breaks, the strange intervals, and it's really fun." Sarig's book is available from Amazon.com at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0823076695 * * * * * * * # RAYMOND SCOTT MUSIC is available on the following commercial releases: RECKLESS NIGHTS AND TURKISH TWILIGHTS (Sony Legacy, US; Basta, everywhere else) 1937-1939 original RS Quintette recordings, including most melodies immortalized in Warner Bros. cartoons SOOTHING SOUNDS FOR BABY (3 volumes, Basta) Scott's 1963 electronic lullabies for children of *all* ages; spooky minimalism and otherworldly ambient sounds predating Glass, Riley, Eno, Kraftwerk THE CHESTERFIELD ARRANGEMENTS (Basta) The METROPOLE ORCHESTRA with the Beau Hunks Saxtette Newly recorded orchestral arrangements of 17 Scott Quintet titles performed in "Cecil B.

He was 56. Sunal, Turkey's most popular and highest-paid entertainer, died at Istanbul's Ataturk airport despite doctors' efforts to revive him, the Anatolia news agency said. The heart attack happened as the plane began taxing down the runway. He was to fly to the Black Sea port city of Trabzon with his colleagues and his son Ali to begin shooting a new movie. The star of several situation comedies that are still shown on television years later, Sunal appeared in 82 movies since 1972. He could portray the lives of oppressed villagers or star as a simple postman clinging to a way of life. Recently he played an army private lampooning the military's rigid rules. His last movie, ``Propaganda'' in 1999, was a satirical look at the state's ignorance of the public. --- TOKYO, July 3 (Kyodo) - Veteran Japanese blues singer Mina Aoe died of pancreatic cancer Sunday night at a Tokyo hospital, her family said Monday. She was 54. Aoe, a native of Tokyo whose real name was Shizuko Ihara, made her debut as a singer with ''Kokotsu-no-Blues'' (Blues of Rapture) in 1966. She received the prestigious Japan Record Award in 1968 for ''Isezakicho Blues,'' which turned out to be a big hit. Known for her husky voice, Aoe's hits also include ''Ikebukuro-no-Yoru'' (Night in Ikebukuro), for which she was awarded another Japan Record Award in 1969, and ''Nagasaki Blues.'' She released ''Taejon Blues,'' a South Korean pop song, in 1984, which paved the way for other Japanese singers to perform Korean songs. # 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 Louviere Subject: (exotica) Whistling Date: 03 Jul 2000 09:01:51 -0700 >A "world famous" whistler wrote me today because I occasionally feature >whistling on "The Mister Smooth Show."

A friend of mine who has A LOT of records does something similar and has not reported any problems and seems to be happy with it. He puts the records in the sacks, then in the box with charcoal brickettes (a cheap form of silica gel in that they absorb the moisture). Mind you, I have never done this myself because I didn't have the number of records he has...but it is GETTING THAT WAY! I know what you mean about moving books and records. I used this 4 day weekend to assemble and move book cases and unpack books. I still have three cases to assemble to house my record collection...and then records to unpack...plus books to unpack.

(who have a crazy no shipping >outside the USA Policy - arrrgggh) The primary reason for this is that in order to get remainders (or at least at that volume) they've made deals with the publishers to sell only within the US. Still, I highly recommend Hamilton; I've been dealing with them for well over a decade and have only had a couple of problems which they fixed immediately. If you don't want to have somebody in the US order and re-ship then you might try bookfinder.com which is a meta-search engine that goes through several out-of-print sources. Sometimes these turn up remainders as well and you're dealing directly with the book dealers.

Right now in my office, I still have 32 orange crates to go. That does not even include the ton of records I have down in the basement. It's a terrible, never-ending task. Thank goodness I'll be moving to a place I'll stay for the rest of my life. My family moved in there in 1955, so it has a lot of memories for me. I'm glad to be going back.

It's an amazing tome, filled with pictures and profiles of incredible home interior designs and the masterminds behind them. IAll are non-professionals, just people with a passion, which makes their ideas all the more amazing. It also features projects one can do such as a fur covered TV cabinet and a free standing bar. I looked it up on Amazon to see if the author had written other books, but was amazed to find that they did not list it. Has anyone else bought this book? One of the best purchases I've made in a long time. To change the subject suddenly, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the name of the song the 'busts' are singing in the Haunted Mansion. I remember seeing the TV special that showed how they did that special effect, but couldn't remember the title of the song. Thanks to anyone who can help.

It is reiviewed at the Tiki Bar pages but I have to say it was truly an exotic experience. Tiki heads and exotic decorations everywhere. The music was Hawain and the clothes mumus worn by the waitresses (some waitresses were over 50 years) were astounding. The Mai Tais were not very good, too much crushed ice and not enough sophistcated flavoring. I was in "Search of the Perfect Mai Tai" thanks to Kevin's great site, but found the perfect bar instead. At the Hala Kahiki there is a store selling all kinds of exotic items. I picked up 4 multi colored grass skirts for Mardis Gras day. I really enjoy these Tiki Bars that have lasted through the years. Some how like an old whore they get classy as they get older. They retain a sense of mystery and exotica at a ripe old age. I'm not sure if building a new one would work but I happen to visit a newly constructed Tiki Bar a year ago at the Air Force Base on Manitee Bay near Satellite Beach, south of Cape Canaveral. The Air Force retirees and enlisted had gotten together to construct a simple but elegant Tiki Hut, with an ancient smallTiki that had come from Hawaii years ago (according to their story). My friends and I spent a few nights drinking there after sailing all day and it felt Tiki right. They had picked me up with their sailboat at Disneyworld, nice life. Also made it to Trader Vics on a sunday morning in Chicago. It was closed but they let us walk around. It was better than I thought , dark and mysterious, and the giant Tiki in the entranceway made it worth the trip.

Rik Date: 06 Jul 2000 22:17:14 -0400 (EDT) Dancer Harold Nicholas Dead at 79 NEW YORK (AP) -- Harold Nicholas, the younger member of the flashy tap-dancing duo The Nicholas Brothers, died Monday. He was 79. Harold and brother Fayard Nicholas, began their careers as children, performing in vaudeville, on Broadway, in nightclubs, on television and in movie musicals. Harold appeared in more than 50 movies, including "The Big Broadcast of 1936'' (1935), "Down Argentine Way'' (1940), "Tin Pan Alley'' (1940) and "Sun Valley Serenade'' (1941). Fred Astaire told the brothers that their dazzling footwork, leaps and splits in the "Jumpin' Jive'' dance in "Stormy Weather'' (1943) produced the greatest movie musical number he had ever seen. In the number, the brothers dance on drums and leap over orchestra musicians. The Nicholas Brothers' Hollywood career began after movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn spotted them in a nightclub and cast them in "Kid Millions'' (1934). The two became big film stars despite racial restrictions at the time prohibiting speaking parts and scenes with white co-stars. Their last film together was 1948's "The Pirate,'' in which Gene Kelly danced with them, breaking the color barrier. Harold more recently appeared in "The Five Heartbeats'' in 1991. --- Punk Rock Musician Rik L Rik Dead at 39 http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=B45233 LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Rik L Rik, a singer in the late '70s Los Angeles punk rock scene with the band F-Word, died Friday of brain cancer. He was 39. Rik, whose real name was Richard Elerick, was the front man for F-Word, which was one of the youngest groups to play at the Masque nightclub in Hollywood. F-Word's album "Like It or Not'' was one of the first "Class of '77'' independent punk album from a Los Angeles County group. Elerick's solo recordings as Rik L Rik were included on the seminal 1979 compilation album "Beach Boulevard'' that highlighted Orange County (Calif.) bands. F-Word songs include "Out There'' and "Government Official,'' while Elerick's solo work included "Teenage Destiny'' and "Atomic Lawn.''

Date: 07 Jul 2000 08:42:08 -0700 (PDT) I was going along in my less experienced music world and then I got onto this list. Before I thought the coolest covers had to be stuff like White Light White Heat or Revolver. I had seen framed album covers before but they were always rock albums like Abraxas or On Their Satanic Majesties Request or the 13th Floor Elevators. My friends and I had a debate recently on what was the coolest "Rock Album Cover" This list got me into thrifting and I found those incredible exotica covers. It started with Martin Denny. Tiki Bob has the super finest framed Denny lps I have ever imagined. Then I started picking up lps like Marco Polo. Then these cool outer space covers and wild cheesecake covers with Diane Weber started intriguing me. Then kids records,moog/whistiling/bird records/ Christmas/Hawaiin and finally any cool old cover of any music genre (especially old black and white). As you all know thrifting can build up an lp collection fast and add to that ebay and dealers and you can't believe what you own and what you owe. Then I started framing the cool lps or recent purchases. I was shocked how my pad suddenly looked. Stunning!! I change the lps out to fit a mood. They snap right in and out. Plan on putting Halloween lps up and Christmas lps up to fit the season and bathroom covers up in the bathrooms. A whole hallway of Coniff covers. As it stands now I plan to hang 150 or so albums on the walls. At one time I actually planned on covering a whole wall with Whipped Cream and Other Delights since the lp is so readily available. Starbucks has these steel framed glass album covers on sale for $5.99. I picked a lot up in Chicago but the New Orleans Starbucks don't sell them.

But I thought it was "Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole" from the song Pablo Picasso by the Burning Sensations. If Richman said it before the film Repo Man was released, it's probably his though.

Vallenato is a musical genre from Colombia, developed near the Atlantic coast on a region called Valledupar (it is in the valley of a river called Upar, hence the name) that spread all over the country becoming the most popular genre all over the country. The record you have corresponds to the first Festival they did in (obviously) 1968. They still do those festivals today, at the end of April, and every year they crown a Vallenato King which usually is the guy who can do the most amazing things with his accordion. The gravitational center of Vallenato groups is the accordion, an instrument that came into Valledupar along with some German immigrants. The usual way of playing the accordion was enriched with black and native musical forms, giving origin to this very unique music. It wouldn't be far fetched to compare it to the blues, they are both rural genres, both take european instruments and make them sound the way they are not supposed to sound, and both have a strong rhythmic (black) component. There is a page about Vallenato in http://www.uic.edu/~lmoya/vallenato.html Nowadays there are several Vallenato group that have added synthesizers to the mix with horrible results IMO. But there has also been a tendency to mix it with rock and other latin rhythms and to turn it into something more easy to digest by a bourgeois audience. Gloria Stefan, has some traces of Vallenato in that album in Spanish she made, and she is a good example of this trend. There is also Carlos Vives, who is Colombian, and has had quite a successful international career. I am really not an expert on this, but I am Colombian. So I know this music because it's the kind of thing that bus drivers like to play in those long, long, long traffic jams during the rush hour. I would be interested to know if anyone else has come across this kind of music, and their reactions. For me it is impossible to hear Vallenatos as just music (that is without a context). It has an emotional charge (not positive, I'm afraid) that just doesn't let me do that. Cheers, Manuel P.S. Has anyone come across a soundtrack of a film called The Shatterer? Is it any good? And has anyone heard a group called The Stairs? They have an album called 'Mexican Rn'B' with a really funny cover.

That's a great price - I think I paid over 10 a piece at Restoration Hardware (link: http://www.restorationhardware.com/index.htma?sid=WQJYSL9qUcBzk7Q6&SCREEN=item&department=21&item=99). My favorite framed cover is "Jazz for Hi-Fi Lovers". It's supposed to be the interior of a beatnik's pad. A couple of pieces of furniture, hi-fi. A vacuum tube amp, cocktail glasses and a pair of sandals on the floor. Various items of female dress scattered to form a trail to the bedroom door which is crudely drawn on the wall. A pair of stockings in the "doorway." Crazy. Great record, too: Les Modes, Zoot Sims, etc. ===== "But I revolted; esteeming it apt and proper rabidly to inveigh against these heterodoxies...". - Fr.

Date: 07 Jul 2000 11:47:19 -0700 (PDT) 4 Lessons in Jazz by Art Blakely sounds like another cool cover & album along the same lines. I can't pick a favorite cover right now but Denny's Primitiva and nelson Riddle's "Sea of Dreams" got me started on this mad mad chase. Right now I'm looking for 66-69 covers with a groovy style late 60s feel to the cover. Music For a Proper Speaking Voice comes to mind. Theres tons of these coming out of Europe specially Italy and also Mexico. I just thrifted some great Phase Four late 60s Ronnie Aldrich covers that blow me away, but I don't think they will make it to frames, theres just that many great framable lp covers out there! Speaking of Whipped Cream has anyone seen Spaghetti Sauce and Other Delights? (Its at Kini's tremendous lp cover site!) I picked this up and understand there are at least 2 more take offs on Whipped Cream cover style.

Movieflix.com offers a large number of movies, in their entirety, for free in RealPlayer format. The movies are grouped in categories, including action, drama, comedy, film noir, literature, black culture, classic TV, mystery, and romance, among many others. While many of the present selections are lesser-known or perhaps underappreciated films (Santa Claus Conquers the Martians comes to mind), there are also some jewels to be found, including His Girl Friday, M, and Of Human Bondage. Please note that users must register to view all the selections, though it is not required to watch the featured movies for each category. Whereas older versions of RealPlayer still left a great deal to be desired in streaming video performance, the most recent version has markedly improved, and most of the movies proved fairly watchable, with little skipping or freezing. Although a smaller-screen narrowband option is available, a broadband connection and the latest RealPlayer should be regarded as musts for getting the most out of the site. # 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) Modern Lovers Date: 07 Jul 2000 13:18:51 -0700 (PDT) The tingling pleasure is mine - but not a correction at all (you were not wrong), more like an enhanced concurrence.

The best 3 tracks from this album are also featured on "Best Of Airto", which also includes a longer life version of a 4th track: "Parana". * Les Baxter: "Space Escapade" o LP, Capitol T968 mono o appreciation: 34 o note: What a cool cover! and what a disappointing record. elevator music for the shopping mall on Mars * The Folkswingers: "Raga Rock" o LP, World Pacific WP-1846 mono, USA, 1960's o appreciation: 4 o note: Instro guitar + sitar versions of 60's rock hits like Paint it black, Eight miles high, Norwegian wood, Shapes of things, Hey Joe. * Arthur Lyman: "Latitude 20" o LP, HiFi SL 1037 stereo, USA, 1960's o appreciation: 3 o note: Very sober record; most of the times you only hear about 3 instruments playing. And Arthur sings on 1 track! * Eilert Pilarm: "Greatest Hits" o CD, Green Pig Production GPPCD 01, Sweden, 1995 o appreciation: 5 o note: This Swedish Elvis-impersonator-of-the-worst-kind MUST be the uncle of Mrs. Miller, it must be him! He's blessed with these qualities: tone-deaf; no feeling for rhythm at all; his English is so bad it sounds more like Swedish or Japanese than English, especially in "Jailhouse rock" [pronounced Yale housa lrock] and "She's not you". Some minor points though: his band-in-a-box sounding backing group plays a bit too good; he doesn't do "In the ghetto". Well, you can't have everything, and he's already massacring 22 other Elvis tracks here. File under "atrocious" or "so bad it's good". Only for fans of Mrs. M., Jonathan & Darlene, King U et al.

Hear some recent vintage Bobby Christian in a recording from the late '70s on this week's Retro Cocktail Hour webcast. Bobby's big band goes exotic with "Mooganga", which is a lot more Mandingo than Martin Denny. Speaking of big band exotica, you'll also hear a tune from the very rare "Africa Speaks, America Answers", with percussionist Guy Warren and the Red Saunders Orchestra. In addition, there's jungle jazz by Les Baxter, Henry Mancini and Mandingo; sounds for spies from Lalo Schifrin and Dick Hyman ("Agent Double-O- Soul"!); the mysterious Rolley Polley from (apparently) his only solo record, "Mad Drums"; plus Esquivel, Joe Swingman, Don Swan, Marty Wilson; and Nashville goes Hawaiian.

It has been two years since I updated my personal links page. About half needed to be updated. Most sites moved into their own .org or .com URLs. Congratulations! Some had redirects, so I redid them. A few were just missing, but I found some of the ones I really wanted (like the Enoch Light pages) on Google. I only added a few sites I had on hand, but if you think I am missing something real cool, let me know! Everyone on this list, I believe, has a worthy site if not more than one...or knows of others which could be added. http://www.hubris.net/zolac/links.html On a related note, have you noticed that with a slow connection, AOL stops sending big items within a given timeframe? Thus on ebay I miss many of the pictures for records because AOL stops transmission 1/3rd to 1/2 of the way through on larger files. No wonder some of the sites based in AOL land have new servers now! Thanks!

Small combo, interesting, I like it. According to the liner notes, though, this piece is more of a cumbia. Found another article on Vallenato here: http://www.arcmusic.org/html/ideas/vallenato_frame.html I wonder how Vallenato fits in with the other (my clumsy term) 'working class fun-time musics'? To my ears, there seems to be a common thread running through Polka, Klezmer, Tex-Mex, Tejano, Creole, Cajun, etc. Even ska has a bit of it. Does Vallenato fit in with these at all, or are the rhythms quite different? The Lisandro Meza piece does not seem to fit in with these, actually. More complex rhythmically... wiggly, syncopated basslines. >For me it is impossible to hear Vallenatos as just >music (that is without a context). It has an emotional charge >(not positive, I'm afraid) that just doesn't let me do that. Does this bring up our old observation about one person's exotica being another person's backyard? I guess I can relate to that. I've had a hard time getting past my childhood formations against polka. Now I can appreciate the more singular works, but the cliched majority still makes me go blech.

Every sunday at 10 p.m. CET it has become a dearing habit to switch on my old Centris AV Macintosh and squeeze out the last disposable bits'n'bytes out of its pre-historic 68040Hz steam processor to tune into the funky 28,8 K mono stream coming from "abroad", in fact a university in Montreal, 4 p.m there, and listen to Brian and Cheryl announcing their eternal 4 blocks of almost 4 songs of anything we ever discussed in the Exotica list and more. It's actually more fun and *precious* to hear something in the radio "while it happens", than to "download" files "from the internet" whenever you want to. And I must say I "really really" like the fact that the setup of SPACE BOB never changes but the music always brings pleasant surprises. Thanks to both of you with the best wishes for your next 100 shows! Mo -- P.S. on #100: Conny Plank also produced the "Are We Not Men?" album by Devo. The reason why Sky records are reissued on all kinds of different labels is, that the present owner simply sells each record to who pays the most. In ancient times the European border between catholicism and protestantism ran right between Cologne and Dusseldorf, Cologne being on the catholic side, Dusseldorf on the protestant, triggering a constant competition between the two cities. BTW the valley of Dusseldorf is the neighborvalley of the Neanderthal. So the entire era is a melting pot of religions. Does that explain something?

This is one of my favorite album covers ever...pretty lady sitting on the floor on top of some large drawing of a violin, with yarn covering everything, including her...wow. If that isn't, uh, abstract expressionism and lounge music mashed together, I don't know what is. When I found my copy in the thrift, I was taken by how beautiful it looked and had it in my stack before I even noticed it was Scott. Well, maybe my priorities were confused -- I was looking for Hawaiian records at the time. Funny how intention is never quite met when thrifting.

Picked this Irma LP up in a bargain bin last week. very good, would have been worth the full price. Nice mix of stuff, it has a couple of Yma Sumac Mambo songs on it, some Pizicato 5, Madness and other bits. I've not been a terrific fan of Yma Sumac, but I do like these songs, the vocal pyrotechnics are a lot more fun in this sort of energetic setting. What LP('s) are these off? Also I've not heard much in the way of the Pizzicato 5, these 2 songs and the remix on the Fotografiert Bunny 12. The bunny remix is frantic hard house with vocal snatches cut into it, and the tracks on here are much mellower, proper vocals and lots of Harpsichord, I know there was a discussion on the list when the last P5 LP came out that it was different to the first, was it along these lines? What do people think of them generally? Also there are a number of cuts by a group called Soon Az, I'm surprised we've not discussed them, I would say they were a modern group, but maybe not. Whats the score? Finally, I wasn't very impressed with the Piccioni track on here, but he's really another unknown to me, I love all the Piero Umiliani I have heard, and the turn of the seventies Morricone, how does Piccioni fit in here, is this an unremarkable track? Knowing the usual responses this will end up as a thread on bargain bins, but I'd appreciate any comments.

I was hoping for full folk fiddles and accordions from TSE, unfortunately it was mostly 80's pomp rock and synth stuff without the humour of someone like Laibach . A couple of good thrash metal versions though. The Balenescu Quartet was more as expected, mostly smooth with harsh 'modern' moments, I thought it worked very well. The thing was they whetted my appetite for more, surely (at the early-mid seventies) someone would have done some full orchestral versions? I mean Alan Tew was doing Abba covers quite late in the 70's. I can hear it in my, it WOULD WORK. The BQ was good, but I just wanted it more lush. I think the folk versions would work just as well, I think I'll paraphrase Mo said from the initial batch of postings, the melodies are good, they transcend genre, they can be arranged an re-arranged in a number of musical settings successfully. IMHO. forgot to sign my last mail, still in the low posting rate we are at currently this will probably come up next anyway....

One of the Yma songs is from her Mambo album, which got great reviews from Jane Fondel once on this list. The P5 songs stand out very well on this collection and thats because P5 in my humble opinion are a stupendous band! I played "A Quiet Couple" last night. This is the instrumental version of their first lp. A very Burt Bacarach, Brian Wilson, Henry Mancini influenced album. As someone once said on this list a long time ago, early P5, (and the band goes back to the mid 80s), is most appropriate for the list. I'm not sure if I agree with that anymore. This list is much wider open to music these days and I think any P5 album could be discussed on the exotica list. Certainly the quality of P5 has stood up over the years though their style got quite a few beats in it over the last 15 years. I personally think their 12 inch single/cd "Darling of the Discotheque" from a year ago was one of their highlights.

I personally think Quiet Couple is a modern soft pop classic. P5 were at the forefront of this movement inspired by the soft pop indie movement in Britain.

An anecdote about Jonathon Richman's "quiet" gigs. I did a support for him at a show in Melbourne quite a few years back (John Cale was headlining) and JR came out in front of a largish concert hall and eniterly dispensed with any amplification at all. No PA, no microphones. Played percussion by slapping his body and just sang unamplified into the hall. The audience were spellbound. Never seen it before or since. BTW John Cale came on after JR and played electric piano at about 140db and ruined the atmosphere and the eardrums of most of us.

Just for starters we have to mention that he *composed* many of the songs that became well-worn latin standards in other hands. . . The thing that sets apart Prado's performances is that you could say he was a master of "negative space." The horns will play a fragment that *implies* the whole melody, then drop out entirely for a measure or two. This creates a tremendous tension and expectation, and then POW, the horns come in and totally sock it to you. It's just incredibly sexy and effective. And that kind of "less is more" restraint is something that the more Hollywood-style latin performers just never figured out.

This is probably the only instance I've ever heard of of such altruism by a record label. I was just contacted by Stan Cornyn, former Warner VP (and Grammy-winning author of some of the greatest liner notes of all time), and he had this to say about the practice: >Re the suggestion for further listening on albums, it was there because >a lot of labels referred back to other albums in their catalogues. WBR, >having zero catalogue, pretended to be interested in others' works. A >bit silly, but so in those days was much at WBR.

Allen Smith chronicling several months he spent in Tahiti circa 1963, not long after the Brando 'Bounty' film crew left. His observations are wry, acerbic, often hilarious and very un-PC by current standards. He goes into some island history(meeting Leeteg's son for example), but his dissection of life on the island among the tourists, french, american expatriates and of course the natives is keeping me laughing. I just read a chapter about the fantasy of becoming a beachcomber that came to him after ogling a beautiful giggling young wahine. Then she smiled at him revealing only back teeth to go along with the gnarled callused feet and leg sores commonly found on the island girls back then. One fantasy smashed immediately as the author's mind transformed her into a crone. There's info on Smith here - http://home.flash.net/~whaugen/smith.htm including his short tale of taking the first LEGAL drink after repeal of Prohibition - http://home.flash.net/~whaugen/smithfirstdrink.htm Much of his stuff is out of print, but libraries are cool and a lot cheaper than eBay or Amazon.

Kinda fun. Does >anyone have any info about this LP? Was it part of a series? is it scarce? Ha! The melody, how it haunts me! Da-da, da-DOT-da, "Goin' cross town, gonna ball tonight, Gonna kick a tail or two..." and concludes... "Kick-a once, Kick-a twice, Kick a tail or two!" I had this record. The inner sleeve said that it was supposed to be the first of a series, but I think poor sales killed the idea. It was probably not a cheap album to make. Firstly, it had a full color comic on the sleeve to help you follow the story. Secondly, there must have been the matter of rights, which Marvel Comics probably didn't give up cheaply. Where they skimped, of course, was the music! It's campy-awful stuff, probably played by the same studio musicians on the Bubblegum stuff of previous years, which as Mr. Clark says, makes it "kinda fun"(another sample lyric: "It's such a groove to be free/Leave my teenage troubles behind/Shake my past/with a laugh/And climb to impossible highs..."), but to me, what makes it more fun is the fact that it is a full radio play, with sound effects. It tells the origin of Spider-Man accurately (bitten by a radioactive spider, gets super powers loses Uncle, vows to fight crime), features cameos by Dr. Strange, The Lizard, The Green Goblin ("I've come to pick your bones!") and the Kingpin. It even has a little third-wall humor; just before a fight between the Kingpin, Spidey says, "Maestro, if you will...", at which point, an instrumental version of "Goin' Cross Town" starts up! Another trivia note: All you Trekkers and Benson fans out there will be happy to know that the voice of Spider-Man is none other than Constable Ido, Clayton Endicott III himself, Rene' Auberjonois, who sounded pretty teen for a 32 year-old man.

Just recently I sorted out a couple of LPs, because my record collection grew to big. So this Surfmen album "Exotic Island" fell in my hands, and although the cover is kind of nice (a topless "beauty" growing out of an orchid blossom; bamboo typeface), and although it covers some exotica classics like Taboo, Quiet Village, Bali Hai and Forbidden Island, I decided to get rid of it. If you know Martin Denny, you just can't go for the Surfmen the same way you go for the real stuff. There wasn't even a "unique and spicy flavor", as stated in the liner notes of the album. In fact it was tired. Like Arthur Lyman trying to get out of a contract for 10 albums.

Does Vallenato fit in with these at all, or are the > rhythms quite different? Yes it is different. In all those genres you mention you have a clear stomping tempo, so even the most rhythm-challenged person can dance to it. Vallenato hasn't. The bass lines of the bass guitar really go all over the place, because the accordion does all the work (mellodies and bass), so the bass player can remain pretty 'uncommited' to the rest of the song. The rhythm section consists of a drum (similar to a single conga) and a guy scratching something called a 'guacharaca', which makes a sound similar to that aluminium washing board used in Cajun music. The singing, at least for my taste, is truly nerve-breaking. Loud, shouty and very emotional. Maybe it is because the poor singer has to compete volume-wise with all the other instruments (Vallenato groups without electric amplification are quite common). The strange thing of Vallenato is that it is black popular music created in the coast that has become very big in the interior of Colombia, where there are not many black people and where the music of choice used to be Rancheras from Mexico. And this has changed only in the last decade or so. Having said that I don't like it, I have to accept that there are some very beautiful lyrics. And also some (few) nice and quiet songs.

That song is tremendously wild. I luckily picked up the lp a few months back in vg++ shape. The awesome Bear Family released it with Prado's "Exotica Suite" on a 2fer cd with that great Bear Family quality of sound and awesome liner notes. Voodoo suite is much hotter than Exotica Suite. It is my understanding that before Prado there was no music quite like his, similar but not quite as mamboish. After Prado the world jumped on the mambo bandwagon. Gotta love those latin dance crazes that swept the world! Tango/Rhumba/Mambo/Cha Cha Cha I know I left out something. Prado rules for me. In the 70s I would thrift his lps. Picked up an RCA Mexico 3 lp set that has the very best of the best Prado, original versions in mono! What a song writer. I understand that Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom Time held a record for a while as being number 1 on the pop charts for the longest. Love to mix Que Rico Mambo in on the tiki Mardis Gras Carnival Parade, Mondo Kayo we do every year for the last 19 years. As for the first Exotica record, my vote goes to Xavier "Cugie" Cugat who in the 1930's recorded "Jungle Drums" An early cool version has Dinah Shore on vocals. This song evokes the distant far off exotica lands/exotic feeling incorporated by Baxter. The thing about Jungle Drums is that I really believe there was an exotica song before it, in the early 1930's for sure but I bet there was some exotica song that goes back to the 1920s or even earlier. Whenever I hear 1920's music I am shocked how they had figured pop music so well back then. Really some of it sounds like 1960s pop music or even some of the pop music today. Certainly ballads have changed little over the last 80 years. Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck --- Moritz R wrote: > And he made the first Exotica record, "Voodoo Suite"!!!!!

(you should try getting sony stuff eg fsuk here). if the single you are talking about is the one with the badmarsh and shree remix on one side and a less interesting underwolves mix on the other, kill to get it. that jolly mukharjee record is the best i've bought this year (it's on a tape for you geoff btw, finally getting there). there is also another in the series with mixes by state of bengal and underwolves (better than zamfirs mix anyway), which is nice in a kind of downbeat way. nothing like the exhilerating mix of drum and bass and bollywood soaring strings that has the dancefloor looking at each other and wanting to dance but not knowing how... i don't think they're available online any more either. but i was talking about the full version of the song on doob doob that the original poster mentioned they had, i don't have the first but, like geoff says, it is a problem playing it out over a pa. everything sounds good if the sound quality is good. whole genres of music rely on this. conversely if the sound is muffled, forget it. same applies to bombay the hard way, there's a tune on it i love but you can't play it out. thanks, rob ________________________________________________________________________ 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: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: (exotica) Perez Prado/First Exotica Record Date: 12 Jul 2000 12:58:12 -0400 Great post, Chuck!

Those interested in this type of music may want to check it out. It's more dance-oriented than the Doob Doob O'Rama or Bombay The Hard Way compilations. By the way, the sound quality on both volumes of Doob Doob O'Rama is pretty questionable, but that's likely due to the quality of the original recordings. Having said that, I would definitely recommend the second volume for those that liked the first - it's more of the same, but even better. ciao, cheryl (currently listening to the soundtrack to "Shalimar") # 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: "Giovanni Berti" Subject: (exotica) Doob Doob-O-Rama, vol. 2 Date: 12 Jul 2000 20:56:18 +0000 > Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2000 21:31:30 +0200 (MEST) > From: Hemmel@gmx.net > Subject: (exotica) doob doob o rama vol 2 > > doob doob o rama vol 2, more filmsongs from bollywood is out. > the most tracks are fantastic BUT they DONT have the original length > most or all ? tracks were fade out earlyer in a way that is sometimes > realy frustrating.

Very happy with this one. Bob Rosengarden and Phil Kraus, Percussion Playful and Pretty, RCA. Commandish sound, as one would expect. Its Chloe is incredible--bongos, bari sax, organ on top of a brass and woodwind ensemble. the more I listen, the more I like. "Spruced Up Mood Music." No fooling. Lots of great stereo action, too. A goodie record sold exclusively to RCA record club members with attractive budget pricing. Am wondering how common these goodies were and if they're viewed as collectable by people who care about this stuff. Valjean at the Piano, Mashin' the Classics, Carlton =46rilly piano-dominated rockin' reworks of symphonic war-horses, Mendelssohn's Wedding March for instance. A hoot. Listening to it I kept thinking of PeeWee Herman doing one of his stiff dances. Hugo Winterhalter, HW Goes Latin, RCA Over-the-top, string-heavy arrangements of Granada, The Peanut Vendor and such. Spotty but worth more than the 25 cents I paid for it at a Utah thrift. Dick Schory, Music to Break Any Mood, RCA My first Schory solo LP. A Caravan that belongs in a Hall of Fame--really makes the record worth seeking out. Heavy on the xylophones, naturally. My version is hifi--anyone know if this (58?) LP was re-released in stereo? Amusing cover shot of Schory (I assume) in black nerd glasses and a leopardskin caveman tunic about to whack a huge gong while a damsel in harem pantaloons sprawls at his feet, munching grapes. The photo says something about the music's mood, but with more substance than you'd guess from the sleeve. Gary McFarland, Soft Samba, Verve Beautiful disk of soft pop for sugar-frosted pop tarts. Some ba-ba-ba vocals. I usually detest Beatles' covers but She Loves You, A Hard Day's Night, And I Love Her, and I Want to Hold Your Hard smoothed out as sambas are quite tasty. Especially like From Russia with Love and a surprising selection, California Here I Come. Enoch Light and His Orchestra, Discotheque, Command Sort of a bizarre song list, ranging from I Want to Hold Your Hand to Hello, Dolly to Watermelon Man. Produced to resemble the unbroken segues of a real French discotheque, ooh la la. Hilarious liners with recommended dances for each cut from Killer Joe Piro, "the world famous dance instructor whose students include Eva Gabor, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Ray Bolger." Evidently Killer Joe was very fond of the Watusi. Sweet Sue and Her Society Syncopators, Some Like It Hot Cha-Cha-Cha, United Artists A curiosity for fans of Billie Wilder's drag picture, Some Like It Hot--all tunes appear in the film. Film buffs probably remember SS & HSS as the name of all-girl orchestra in the movie. The music, watered down cha-chas that still keep growing on me. I get the feeling this LP might be rare since it is so clearly a promo for the film. Nice Runnin' Wild and I Want to Be Loved by You. Am pretty crazy about La Cumprasita. On the fence about the success of Charleston in a Latin arrangement. Anyone have this record with a jacket in their collection? Or does anyone know of a wesbsite with a thumbnail of the cover? Also bought and returned an EP called Erotica, for my ears a tedious recording of couples going at it with generic panting, female moans, squeaking bed springs over dreadfully amateurish bongo drumming. "This record required two years of field research," claim the notes. I'll bet. If someone on the list can't live without this record, write me offlist and I'll see if it's still available.

Nice suggestion Brian! This is song I believe is from the late 30s or early 40s. But maybe it was a very old song (traditional) and was put into a pop version and a writer claimed credit for it. I think its available on eithter the Rhino's comp "Merengues etc" or there is another similiar comp called "South America, Away" on a French label that also put together soundtracks from the 1930's and 1940's with a latin flavor, a lot of Cugat and Carmen Miranda. This goes to fuel my hypothesis that the origin of alot of music in the pop field goes back very very far to the 1920s or maybe earlier, Citizen Cafka should have a few of these protype exotica songs in his accumulation/collection of records.

Dick Schory, Music To Break Any Mood I believe I have a stereo copy of this, I can see the RCA Stereo logo but I'm not at home. Did you ever notice that some covers look better in mono where the top third is not a different color announcing in large letters the quality of the stereo!?? Take for example "The Lady in Red". Abbe Lane looks oh so much nicer all in red in the mono version over the stereo version where the picture is cropped to fit the RCA STEREO LETTERS. How's the condition of the cover on the Hugo goes Latin?. I always dig this cover. Besides his great music he has some astounding album covers. peaking of album covers, while in India, Beatle Paul was talking with Mike Love of the Beach Boys, and mention to Mr. Love that the Beach Boys ought to pay more attention to their album covers. Mike Love took serious offense to this and tried to one up Paul by saying like We pay more attention to what goes into our music" Mike Love is ............. Gotta love Percussion Orientale. In a similar vain I scored Tak Shindo's Accent on Bamboo and also his Brass and Bamboo. Not quite separated at birth as King Kini says but these are first cousin records. Thanks to the exotica list for the posts on Gary Mcfarland to revive my interest in him. Soft Samba is a great lp by him. I just scored the good version of Enoch Lights Discoteque also.

Worth" Subject: (exotica) Mas Prado Mambo Date: 12 Jul 2000 16:00:14 -0700 >i REALLY need a good cd or two by prado. -tb One or two won't do it. There's a *lot* of good Prado. There's a good Rhino comp, which is similar to the RCA UK CD I have called King of the Mambo (RCA UK ND90424). But you can't go wrong with either of the Bear Family sets, Havana 3am / Mambo Mania (BCD15462) or Voodoo Suite / Exotic Suite of the Americas (BCD 15463). There are four good early Cuban releases on Tumbao Cuban Classics Kuba Mambo (TCD-006), Go Go Mambo (TCD-013), Al Compas Del Mambo (TCD-028) and El Barbaro Del Ritmo (TCD-010). All of these are killer CDs and there is no overlap between them. >It is my understanding that before Prado there was no music quite like his, >similar but not quite as mamboish. - Chuck That isn't true. There were a lot of bands in Cuba and New York that had this sound. Prado just used a bigger band than most. Recently I have been listening to a lot of Machito and his Orchestra. He started out in the Cab Calloway band as an arranger, and then went on his own to form a band doing jazzy jump-style latin rhythm numbers. His version of Bim Bam Bum is great. Also check out Xavier Cugat's Mambo! Vol 1 and 2 on Blue Moon (BMCD 2004 and 2005). This is Cugie's response to Prado's big Mambo craze. Cugat takes the wildness of Prado and adds the lushness of strings contrasting against the brass. He even throws in a few "dilos" for good measure. A very nice mix of songs and great sound quality too.

Standard disclaimer: I have no connection to either Aquarius or Tumbao. Has anyone heard any of these releases? Are they must-haves? If so, which should one start with? -Lou lousmith@pipeline.com ----* ----* Tumbao Label / Classic Cuban Music : ----* Aquarius is proud to once again stock Tumbao releases. In an era where cocktail culture has diluted and made a mockery of music from the Caribbean it is refreshing to finally have the original roots and branches - of what became the Latin craze in the US - to finally speak for themselves and Tumbao is the single most important label dedicated to reissuing the golden era of Cuban music. Starting in 1990, Tumbao has been steadily reissuing radio transcriptions - from New York, Havana & Mexico - of the most influential and exciting orchestras and conjuntos of all time. Because most of the tapes here were never played until they were transferred digitally to CD masters, the sound quality on some of the recordings is astoundingly good. At this point there are almost a hundred CD's issued by Tumbao, and we hope to gradually increase our stock here at the store. Below are a few of the titles we've received thus far, but by no means are we limited to these few titles. We'll keep you informed of others that strike us particularly as they come in. CONJUNTO MATAMOROS "With Beny More" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 One of the many incarnations of groups formed by the legendary Miguel Matamoros - who's lifetime output consists of almost 200 songs. The pairing here of Miguel's songwriting with the beautiful singing of Beny More is really a great one and possibly also a historic moment as well; as Miguel put it: "In 1945 we were contracted for Mexico and I took [Beny] along with me. He came really to be just my substitute in the vocal parts of the conjunto, but such was his ability that it cried out to be left alone so that he could perform on his own. That is to say, the conditions and situations were such that they provided him with the necessary impetus that transformed him into a star." The first eight tracks found here on this cd were recorded in Mexico City in 1945 during that engagement. The others tracks were recorded between 1946 and 1947. Besides Beny More, Conjunto Matamoros is backed up here by Ciro Rodriguez (2nd voice, maracas, claves), Rafael Cuelo (guitar, choir), Ramon Dorca (piano), Jose Macias & Jose Quintero (trumpets), Cristobal Mendive (bass), Agustin Gutierrez (bongos) and, of course, Miguel Matamoros (1st voice - tracks 9 to 17 - and guitar.) GUERRA, ORLANDO "CASCARITA" "El Guaracho" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Here is a fine collection of recordings featuring the ever capable vocalist Cascarita. Recorded between 1944 and 1946 with the backing of Cuba's most famous of Orchestras, Orquesta Casino De La Playa (plus three tracks recorded with Orquesta Siboney de Pepito Torres in Puerto Rico) Cascarita has one of the most amazing voices in Cuban music, completely reckless, half laughing and yelling, but always in control. Though the liner notes don't give indications as to the performers on this recording, but 10 to 1 the pianist is either Perez Prado (who Cascarita helped to land a job with Orquesta Casino De La Playa) or Anselmo Sacasas. Either way, the piano playing alone should be enough reason to buy this recording - top notch played with that combination ham fistedness and delicate finesse. MACHITO & HIS AFRO-CUBANS "Freezelandia" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Machito, along with trumpet player Mario Bauza, formed this group after Bauza had cut his teeth playing with Cab Calloway's orchestra in 1940. The concept was to present an Afro-Cuban orchestra that incorporated Jazz musicians, a concept that had a tremendous influence on both American and Cuban orchestras alike. The tracks here, recorded in New York between 1947 and 1949 features: Machito (maracas, claves & vocals), Mario Bauza, Frank Davila & Bobby Woodlen (trumpets), Gene Johnson & Fred Skerritt (alto saxes), Jose "Pin" Madera (tenor sax), Leslie Johnakins (baritone sax), Rene Hernandez (piano), Roberto Rodriguez (bass), Luis Miranda (conga), Jose Mangual (bongos), Ubaldo Nieto (timbales) and Graciela (vocals.) MERCERON, MARIANO Y SUS MUCHACHOS PIMIENTA "Yo Tengo Un Tumbao" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 MORE, BENY "El Barbaro del Ritmo" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 It has been said that Beny More is one of the greatest Cuban singers, and one of its greatest patriots - one of the few stars of his generation who chose to stay in Cuba rather than emigrate to the U.S. or Mexico - a singer "gifted with an incomparable voice. He was the most all-around of Cuban singers, for he was capable of embroidering, stretching, and repeating the phrases of a song without ever altering his rhythm. He knew, with an instinctive judgement, how to assimilate new harmonic concepts while at the same time remaining true to his roots." This recording is unique in that Beny More is backed up by Perez Prado and his orchestra, a group more commonly associated with instrumental music. Recorded in Mexico City between 1948 and 1950. ORQUESTA CASINO DE LA PLAYA "Memories of Cuba" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Orquesta Casino De La Playa was a Cuban super group of sorts, giving many future greats their start and this collection features some great performances by some of the best. The inimitable Damaso Perez Prado is featured playing some absolutely reckless and wonderful piano, as is future bandleader Anselmo Sacasas. If that isn't enough the greatest male vocalist of Cuba (in my humble opinion) Cascarita, and the now renown Miguelito Valdes both sing on tracks here. Recorded between 1937 and 1944, this is an essential recording for any collection of Cuban music. ORQUESTA CASINO DE LA PLAYA WITH MIGUELITO VALDES "Fufunando" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 ORQUESTA NIAGRA WITH RUBEN GONZALEZ "Que No Se Acabe El Bongo" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 PINEIRO, IGNACIO "Y Su Septeto Nacional" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 This is a collection of Son, Bolero Son, Rumba & Guaracha from Ignacio Pineiro and his septet, recorded in 1928 and 1930. Very raw sounding, infectious songs with beautiful, semi-out-of-tune guitar & tres guitar filling out the sound. Accompanying Ignacio Pineiro (bass, conductor) on these recordings are: Alfredito Valdes & Jose Jimenez or Juan De La Cruz & Abelardo Barroso (1st voices, claves - 1930 & 1928 respectively); Bienvenido Leon (2nd voice, maracas); Miguel Angel Portillo or Jose Manuel Incharte (bongos); Eugenio Constantin or Alberto Villalon (guitar); Francisco Gonzalez (tres guitar); Lazaro Herrera (trumpet.) PRADO, PEREZ "Al Compas Del Mambo" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Recorded between 1950 and 1952 this CD presents Perez Prado and his orchestra in their prime. Prado is credited with popularizing the mambo and fueling an obsession with Cuban music in the US that has lasted to this day. Incredibly tight, punchy arrangements, each punctuated by Prado's trademark gutteral yelp - it's no wonder he was so popular then and still is today. Despite his nearly being overplayed and drowned in cocktail culture, he still emerges unmblemished - the James Brown of Cuba. Highly recommended! PRADO, PEREZ "Go Go Mambo" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Another great collection of recordings from Perez Prado, these recorded in Mexico between 1949 & 1950 and NYC 1951. PRADO, PEREZ "Kuba-Mambo" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 As far as I know, these are the earliest recordings of Perez Prado's own orchestra (which he formed in 1946) and recorded in Mexico between 1947 and 1949. Unlike his later recordings, which featured less and less vocal parts in favor of the more fashionable instrumentals, there are healthy doses of vocals on this recording from Orlando Guerra (aka: Cascarita), Abel del Rivero, Cecilia Ginzalez and other unknown vocalists. PUENTE, TITO "Mambo Macoco" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 New York born timbalist and band leader Tito Puente hardly needs an introduction. Like Machito, he sought to integrate jazz and mambo together - tight Latin percussion sections, with extended instrumental solos. These recordings were made in New York City between 1949 and 1951 and feature: Tito Puente (vibes, timbales); Gil Lopez & Luis Verona (piano); Mongo Santamaria or Frankie Colon (conga); Manny Oquendo (bongos); Amado Visoso (bass); Frank LoPinto, Jimmy Frisaura & Gene Pappetti (trumpets); Joseph Herde, Irving Butler, Edward Grimm & Sol Rabinowitz (saxes); Vincento Valdes & Bobby Escoto (vocals & maracas.) RODRIGUEZ, ARSENIO "Como Se Goza En El Barrio" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Arsenio Rodriguez is one of the masters of the Tres Guitar - a guitar originating from a three string guitar of African Congolese origin. Completely blind since the age of six, Rodriguez started learning to play guitar in his teens. It was during a trip to New York in 1947 in an attempt to restore his sight that he had the opportunity to play with Machito's orchestra. He decided to return to New York in 1953 and while there, started his own group. These recordings were made that year and feature vocals by Rene Scull (who has a vibrato technique all his own) and Candido Antomattei. The size of the ensemble, though small, still has the energy and swing of a much bigger group. SACASAS, ANSELMO Y SU ORQUESTA "Sol Tropical" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Pianist and arranger Anselmo Sacasas was one of the founding members of the renown Orchesta Casino De La Playa in 1937. In 1940 he moved to New York and formed his own group and, being one of the most amazing Cuban pinaists and arrangers, his orchestra became one of the most popular in the New York scene during throughout the decade. Featuring vocals from Octavio "Cuso" Mendoza and Ruben Gonzalez, these recordings were made in New York between 1945 and 1949. SEPTETO Y CONJUNTO MATAMOROS "Camaron Y Mamoncillo" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Miguel Matamoros formed both the Septeto (1928) and Conjunto (1942) much after he'd already aquired acclaim with his trio. With the Septeto he filled out the sound by adding trumpet (Jose Macias or Jose Quintero), clarinet (Francisco Repilado), bass (Felipe Torriente or Christobal Mendive), bongos (Pedro Mena or Agustin Gutierrez) and adding piano (Armando Beltran or Ramon Dorca) for the Conjunto. The repertoire remains unchanged with the increase in ensemble size and most of the recordings found here (made between 1928 and 1950) are still primarily the Cuban Son which Miguel Matamoros was probably the greatest propagator of. TRIO MATAMOROS "China En La Rumba" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 This cd is a broad spanning collection of recordings - made from 1928 to 1951 - by Miguel Matamoros' most resilient of groups. Consisting of Miguel Matamoros (voice, guitar), Ciro Rodriguez (voice, maracas, claves) and Rafael Cueto (guitar, choir), it was this ensemble with which "Miguel was successful in combining to perfection all the melodic and rhythmic elements that the eastern son contained, and he brought to it the very typical charms of the purest 'creole' flavor." It is this genre that is the national pride of Cuba and it is this ensemble that impressed many young aspiring musicians including Compay Segundo of Buena Vista Social Club fame. VALDES, MIGUELITO WITH NORO MORALES' ORCHESTRA "Mr. Babalu" (Tumbao) cd 15.98 Another one of the top vocalists in Cuba, Miguelito Valdes probably received the greatest fame of any Cuban singer in the U.S. Having received his big break singing for Xavier Cugat's orchestra in 1940 - playing at Waldorf-Astoria's famous Starlight Roof in N.Y. The famous song Babalu, made so by performances of it by Cugat and Valdes, became so associated with Miguelito Valdes that he became known as "Mr. Babalu." The recordings here were made in New York City in 1949 (with Miguelito Valdes' orchestra) and 1951 (with Noro Morales' orchestra.) * Aquarius Records --------------- * * 1055 Valencia Street * * San Francisco, CA * * 94110 USA * * tel 415.647.2272 * * fax 415.647.3447 * * aqua@sirius.com * * http://www.aquariusrecordsSF.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: SLarry3595@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Recent Scores Date: 12 Jul 2000 19:05:53 EDT In a message dated 7/12/00 2:53:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time, mimim@texas.net writes: << Bob Rosengarden and Phil Kraus, Percussion Playful and Pretty, >> This record was recorded and intended to be a part of the Stereo Action series.

I just shelled out the cash to acquire the now-out-of-print ludicrous 11-CD Japanese Prado boxed set, which has MOST, but not all, of his RCA recordings, including material only released in Japan. It's close enough to comprehensive to be frustrating. Plus there's different recordings of the same songs in existence -- the versions on the Orfeon reissues are totally different from the RCA versions, and for some songs there are multiple RCA versions. So confusing!!! From someone who has now heard virtually EVERYTHING Prado recorded, in my humble opinion... * The German import of _Pops & Prado_ is essential. Nifty fun album with obscure single-side bonus tracks, at least one previously unreleased. * Also required is the reissue of the United Artists LP _Lights! Action! Prado!_ which to my surprise, I just found on CD (although the spine reads "Cuban Classics VIII" -- apparently it's 8th in a series of West Side Latino reissues). I've never seen a cheap copy on vinyl and this was the first I'd owned it/heard it in its entirety. Perhaps it's also the newness factor, but L!A!P! may very well prove to be my favorite Prado album, period. More than _Rockombo_ or _Pops_.Recorded in 1964, fiery with a a go-go edge. Includes "Hard Day's Night," "James Bond Theme," etc. Sooooo cool. * Particularly for its bang for your buck, the 23-track CD "2 en Uno: Las Estrellas del Fonografo" is also one to make sure you get. Features two late 60s Mexican-only RCA albums _Esta INcredible_ and _Mambo del Taconazo_. You'll shed many a tear that the psychedelic original cover to the "IN" album is reproduced so tiny on the front CD cover. Includes "Tema de los Monkees" and an incredible "Llevame a la Luna" ("Fly Me to the Moon"). * The ?-and-the-Mysterians-meet-Prado sounds on the 1966 _Concierto Para Bongo_ also constitute essential listening, but its CD reissue on Polydor went out of print a couple of years back. Both the vinyl and CD are mighty hard to find. Also, the contents of each of these discs tend not to turn up on the many Prado compilations (although half of _INcredible_ is also found on _Estas Si Viven: The Living End_).

There's one called Cuban Classics Perez Prado that's a good compilation of some of his earlier material. As much as I like his earlier, more "serious" material from albums like Havana 3am, Voodoo Suite, Mambo Mania, etc. I enjoy his later RCA albums a lot more -- Twist Goes Latin, Rockambo, Pops and Prado and especially Our Man in Latin America and La Chunga. It seems many don't take these albums seriously because they're "watered down" with a more pop/rock sound - how unfortunate! Side 2 of Exotic Suite of the Americas has sort of the same sound and The Living End on UA Latino has some great Now sound Prado.

A real pisser and highly recommended for a fun look at 20th century music history and fads. He tries to be chronological but tends to jump all over the place, but mentions a bajillion trends from the turn of the century thru the 60's - cakewalks, animal dancing(the foxtrot and turkey trot from around 1915!), Dixie songs, parlor songs, ragtime, the Hawaiian craze in the teens, WWI music, the twenties jazz age, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, the stage belters like Jolson, the microphone giving rise to the Rudy Vallee crooners and Der Bingle, the marathon dancing craze, lots of tin pan alley, society orchestras, big bands, the ASCAP/BMI battle, fads in England, and on and on and on in a jaunty scatterbrained style as if he got stoned and dropped and mixed up his 3 by 5 note cards just before he started writing. He doesn't specifically mention the term exotica, but does talk about "faraway places" music that was always popular with the masses. Lately i've been checking alt.binaries.sounds.78rpm-era on usenet for mp3 files. It's surprising how old the old songs really are! Ian's written a number of other books (icluding Mel Bay ukelele books) and put out a CD with the songs played on the Titanic. A funny guy with some outrageous stuff at his website.

SOME (I am not saying this one) of the RCA covers were printed so that for stereo the stereo banner was exposed but the bottom section was buried under the back side sheet and for mono the stereo banner was buried under the top of the back side sheet. Thus the FULL album cover could be had if you gently removed the back side sheet to expose it...or you could have a mono and stereo copy and get an idea of what the full picture would be (which I will probably do...get a mono and stereo copy of all the albums). Some, of course actually printed different covers for stereo than for mono...others merely slapped a sticker to differentiate...and still others didn't even bother, forcing the record buyer to see the label inside or the back cover to figure out if this was STQX-1234 or SMRV-1234. But, yes, sometimes that top section for a stereo really took away from the picture. In the RCA scenario, it would also mean cutting off the bottom part of what may have been a very carefully composed picture. On the other hand, the picture could have been shot with the idea that the bottom and top were throw away...all depends. I think the creation of album covers is fascinating in of itself. Just recently I successfully bid (in a mail auction) on the Kapp recording of The Andromeda Strain soundtrack...not because I am a huge fan of the music, but the cover is just too cool. I can't wait to finally see the album in person (and try to remember how to fold it back up again the way I got it!). Also, how different companies announced their records were stereo is quite interesting to me. I am thinking of putting together a web page of just stereo banners.

To qualify for the first exotica record, a piece of music must have this artificial "hollywoodish" combination of an exotic rhythm and exotic sounds/voices that clearly seperates it from the original music, where the ideas where taken from. In an exotica track I expect to recognize the will of an artist to enact a primitive ritual or a phantasy of a tropical paradise taken from the collective subconcious of civilized man, combining those imagined primitive forms with modern mainstream musical elements, i.e. originally jazz in the first place. So, Perez Pardo on Voodoo Suite clearly does this. I don't know about Jungle Drums, because I never heard it. Some tracks by Spike Jones come to my mind, although the humoristic aspect for me is always too dominant to qualify really. I taped some songs that deal with the exotic flair of Egypt, that sound like the 30s, but I couldn't find out who and when it was. (Maybe somebody from this list knows? The male singer seems to be British and the titles of those 3 songs that I have on tape seem to be: Insh-A Allah, Take Me Back to Cairo and Down the Nile...and they are absolutely fabulous!)

I really agree with the "will of the artist to enact a primitive ritual or phantasy of a tropical paradise" This is Exotica with a capital E !!! Not exotica that as we often discuss it on the list, strange & unique music. Having said that Jungle Drums written by Ernesto Lecuna and probably performed first by the Lecuna Cuban Boys (what an amazing originating band that was!!) fits your definition. When Cugat got ahold of it he mixed the Hollywood touch with exotic rhythm to create the perfect phantasy of a tropical paradise for 1930's radio listeners. Cugat was so big on radio in the late thirties and 1940s when the war was on. For a year or two I heard he was number one in the US. Its hard to imagine the influence on music he had with these radio shows.

Doesn't surprise me at all that this was a Stereo Action LP that didn't make it--the channel shifts fit the SA series sound. As for RCA cutting their losses by distributing the record as a club special? Well, that's business for you. Unload a faltering LP on a market of gullible bargain hunters...and years later, it will be come a collectible. About the cover photo: Red red red with two women ready to clash a pair of cymbals. They sit in a forest of percussion and brass instruments, too, many of which hang from an unseen ceiling by wires. About the music: Liners by Francis Traun (??? anyone recognize this name ???) quote Rosengarden talking about a "really rare" percussion instrument, the buzzimba, "a Rube Goldberg-ish contraption made up of wooden resonators that buzz daintily like a choir of horseflies when struck with a mallet." Does anyone know of a site with a pic of this thing? Traun's description of the buzzimba sound is on target, except I find it prettier than an insect's hum. Anyone know of other percussion/exotica LPs that feature the buzzimba? Or even a site with lots of pics of strange percussion instruments? Here's the real surprise though: Paid $2 for this NM LP at Antone's Records, where it had languished for a couple months in a clearance bin. The Antone's guys usually know what they're doing in terms of pricing. Plus, there are enough lounge collectors in this town so somebody should have scooped it up. Every so often, the gods smile on the hapless record accumulator. TIA for info about the buzzimba.

Hiya Jeff, I really like the one All Stars recording I have--ended up on several lounge comp tapes I made. Pretty impressive lineup on the personnel. The All Stars, Persistent Percussion, Kent 500 Recorded July 5 and 6, 1960 at Radio Recorders' Studio, Hollywood, CA OK, assuming this is the same band, here are personnel listed in the liners. Must say one reason I like this LP's packaging so much is the detailed IDs of musicians and soloists. Front cover graphic a geometic thingy clearly meant to lure Command percussion LP fans. Maxwell Davis, arranger Percussion/Drums/Vibes/Xylophone/Marimba, etc: Johnny Cyr, Larry Bunker, Irv Cottler, Gene Estes Guitar: Bill Pitman, Kess Piano: Pete Jolley =46lute/Piccolo: Buddy Collette Trumpet: Ray Linn, Conte Candoli Bass: Curtis Counce, Red Callender Trombone: Frank Rosolino, Harry Betts Alto/Bari Sax, Clarinet: Jewel Grant, Richie Kamuka, Med Flory The Lady Is a Tramp El Choclo Percussion in Paradise Dark Eyes Aloha Oe La Cumparsita Hawaiian War Chant Song of India I Love Paris Adios Muchachos Some of the arrangements sound somewhat interchangeable--i.e., El Choclo and La Cumparsita are too similar for my tastes. Overall, there's a lot of swing to the performances and the players seem to be having a ball. Have also found an All Stars empty sleeve in a thrift bin--no personnel info, but some of the same tunes. Can't recall the label. If Kent was a budget label, makes sense that they'd reshuffle tunes on reissues to make a little dough. Hope this helps ya, Jeff.

He was 59. Shorty died of bone cancer at a friend's home Wednesday night, following weeks of modern and traditional herbal treatments. ``We are all grief stricken,'' said Protector, the spokesman of the Calypsonians Association of Trinidad and Tobago. ``Shorty was able to succeed in his attempts to modernize calypso, especially to package it for young people, and I recognize him as the Father of Soca,'' calypso performer Mighty Sparrow said Thursday in New York City. Ras Shorty I was born Garfield Blackman and started singing calypso as Lord Shorty. He fused traditional calypso with an up-tempo ``soca'' beat, what he called the ``Indianization of calypso,'' bringing together the music of his Caribbean nation's two major ethnic groups, descendants of African slaves and of indentured laborers from India. In ``Endless Vibrations,'' his first soca song composed in 1974, he sang of his need to ``change the musical structure, make it super sweeter ... bring out that funky feeling.'' It was the start of a major transformation of the traditional calypso beat. Dozens of musicians adopted his style, taking soca to the dance halls of the world. Shorty would soon undergo a transformation himself. He became a Rastafarian and changed his name to Ras Shorty I. He moved with his family to a forest and dramatically changed his music to spiritually uplifting lyrics and a new rhythm he called jamoo. Shorty is survived by his wife, Claudette, and their 14 children. Funeral arrangements were not announced.

Date: 14 Jul 2000 02:00:38 -0500 Well at long last after a lot of dead ends and false hopes the search has paid off and I am in the possession of both the film and CD soundtrack to Shailmar. The search has been going on more than a year as Gionni will attest to! Anyway, as I was told, the best piece from Shalimar, "One Two Cha Cha Cha" was included on the Inflight comp. But the star on this CD is the second soundtrack included called "College Girl". Two pieces steal liberally from Donna Summer and then believe it or not Iron Butterfly's "In Gadda Da Vida" but with a 70's Indian interpretation and vocal styling. Truly would have been worthy of inclusion on Doob Doob 2 these are the kind of really (really) great western "interpretations" you can expect from volume 2. Just peeked at the foist minutes of the film but I can say that the opening scene, featuring the song One Two Cha Cha Cha is worth the price of admission! The film is in English & Hindi so it isn't easy to follow. However it appears to be a spy/crime film and VERY much influenced by the James Bond style. I was looking though the Indian Melody site someone posted a while back to the list and at the bottom was an ad that allowed you to search for Indian videos/soundtracks so I said what the hell, why not. At that time, I was still banking on a second lead that turned out to be negative, so Imagine my surprise when both the CD and Video turned up! First time I can say an Internet ad worked on me too so I was a bit frightened at the same time at that prospect... For anyone interested, the company is based in the US but I think also operates in the UK. www.Indiaplaza.com Service was prompt and efficient. The video and CD were each US$9.99 Brian # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Charles Moseley Subject: (exotica) Palm Pilot vinyl/CD database Date: 14 Jul 2000 11:39:54 +0100 Does anybody know if there's a palm pilot database for records or CDs on the www somewhere?

But, I must somehow be on the Mimi wavelength since I also found a copy of David Carrolls "Percussion oriental" and "Hugo Winterhalter goes Latin". Odd how these things work out. Yesterday, however, I scored a copy of Sonny Lesters "After Hours Middle East", which is quite good. Also, one of the oddest things Ive heard, a David Carroll album called "Listen baby, lets dance" on a label called Mainstream, if I remember right. I figured it might just be a re-issue of his "Lets Dance" album, but after playing it, I doubt it. Its unlike any other Carroll album I've heard. Twangy surf-rock guitars, echo-chamber drenched horns, and the occasional lonesome harmonica, slogging through a bunch of fairly bad surf-rock style tunes. Like the soundtrack to a very cheesy, early 60s Youth-gone-bad sort of movie. Its fascinating. Not that the music is really good, its more of a "this is so bad, its interesting to listen to the musical carnage". Anyone else have a copy of this?

At the Jargon site, visitors will find definitions and etymology for a number Internet or technology-related words. For instance, "emailingering," "innocent by-sender," and "dog-food (verb)"; the last originates from internal Microsoft jargon and is "established to mean that software developers should actually use the products they develop" (e.g., eat our own dog-food). Visitors are also invited to participate in inventing new jargon, especially in the "jargonated job titles" section. _TBTF_, the host of the site, is a free email newsletter which focuses on new developments in computer and communications technology, although the most recent issue seems to be from April of this year.

Visitors begin by selecting a country from the pull-down menu, and they can then either conduct a keyword search in a country-specific engine selected by lastminutesearch.com or select a different engine from a pull-down menu; either choice launches a new browser window. Lastminutenews.com works on a similar principle, allowing users to select a country and city via pull-down menus and then offering the newspaper's homepage in a new window. Cities with multiple newspapers indexed have a third menu. As with many other search portals, lastminutesearch.com offers a number of other value-added features, including an .mp3 search engine that indexes "legal sites" (at least one of which launched an absolutely horrifying number of unwanted pop-ups and extra windows), a dialogue search engine (Beta), and links to various news sources. While I cannot recommend the site unreservedly, users who often use country-specific search engines will want to give it a spin. # 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: JT Subject: (exotica) Tiki Mugs Date: 14 Jul 2000 15:30:00 -0600 >Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 10:02:59 -0700 (PDT) >From: chuck >Subject: (exotica) Thrifting for TIKIs >I have been looking for Tiki items in thrift stores. >Got a few cool shirts and a >couple of Tiki cups, Hawain Kono Coffee Co mugs recently. >Have other list members had much luck finding Tiki items?? >I wish I would have been into this when the Tiki House at Ponchatrain Beach >amusement park in New Orleans closed. >Easy listening in the Big Easy >Chuck Chuck you're about 5 years too late - the days of finding Tiki Bob mugs for $0.49 at Salvation Army are long, long gone.

I was able to make it to Las Vegas Grind II, where I was finally able to hear the Tiki Tones play live. I thought they were the best band of the entire 3 night event, even though I did miss the first few songs because I was at the casino next door catching the David Cassidy /Sheena Easton show (which was worth it if only to see Sheena sing 'Fever' while lying on a grand piano wearing a cocktail dress) Anyway, the Tiki Tones were so good I bought two of their LPS that night. 'Idol Pleasures' and 'The Tiki Tones Play Songs for the Suburban Savage' both feature wood carved tikis on their covers. The back cover of 'Idol Pleasures' also has two more records with Tikis 'songs for Rum Drinkers' and 'The Enchanted Tiki Tones.'

No, I don't have any more news on the Kahiki event either. But just because a telephone call to the Kahiki results in a 'it's all sold out' message doesn't mean that tickets won't be available later from the promoters. The Aug 26 event is a private event, so I'm assuming that the promoters of this private event are the only ones who have any say over ticket distribution. I'm assuming that they would prefer to have a selective, knowledgable crowd who truly appreciates tiki culture, rather than have all the seats taken by some local Ohioans who may have never even been to the Kahiki before but heard that a big party is happening there. My guess is that the situation is similar to when a conference or wedding party reserves a huge block of rooms at a hotel. If a potential guest simply calls the hotel and asks for a room, they may get a 'no rooms available that night' message unless they identify themselves as being with that particular conference or wedding party. My guess is that the entirety of the Kahiki tickets are 'blocked out' and not available to the general public, but information on purchasing these tickets will be released soon to tiki aficionados. It is a big event to plan, especially on such short notice, and I'm sure the promoters want to assure as smooth a process as possible. And in case I'm wrong and all the tickets are really sold out ....well, I'll just have to go on over to the Alexandria's Honolulu restaurant that night and have a few mai-tais there instead.

One is the recently-discussed "Percussion Orientale," which has an insert that reproduces the inner liner notes from the gate-fold jacket of the LP. This insert features an overall discussion of the music and composers, plus track-by-track descriptions of the arrangements and soloists, plus other info about arrangers and personnel. The other, "All the World Dances," just has sketchy info on the back of the tape box. I'm assuming the LP version had something similar to "Orientale," and this is what I'm looking for. If anyone has this album and would be willing to send me this info from it, either a scan (readibility is all that's important) or perhaps an OCR text file or somethinglikethatthere, I'd be so excruciatingly grateful. Also, any idea of the approximate recording dates of these albums? # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) [obit] Meredith MacRae Date: 15 Jul 2000 17:08:38 -0400 (EDT) Meredith MacRae LOS ANGELES (AP) - Meredith MacRae, who played comely country girl Billie Jo Bradley in the 1960s sitcom ``Petticoat Junction,'' died Friday from brain cancer. She was 56. MacRae played Billie Jo from 1966-70 on the CBS series, which starred Bea Benaderet as the widowed owner of the Shady Rest Hotel and mother of three eye-catching daughters who helped run the Hooterville establishment. MacRae was born in Houston to a Hollywood family: Her father was the late actor-singer Gordon MacRae, who played the lovesick cowboy Curly in ``Oklahoma!'' Her mother is actress-comedian Sheila MacRae (``The Honeymooners''). Meredith MacRae made her film debut at age 7 in ``By the Light of the Silvery Moon'' (1953), which starred her father and Doris Day. Her first TV series was ``My Three Sons,'' in which she played Sally, the love interest for Mike (Tim Considine) from 1963-65. She launched a TV talk show career with ``Mid-Morning L.A.,'' which she co-hosted with Geoff Edwards. It ran for eight years and won her a local Emmy in 1986. MacRae worked with a variety of charities and civic groups including the League of Women Voters, Women in Film and the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation. She served as the foundation's telethon host for two decades.

How do you get away with it? i also first thougt that the recording quality from DOOB is too bad to play it, but i liked the PIJA TOO AB TO AAJA by ASHA BHOSLE and R.D.BURMAN from DOOB 1 so much that i tryed it. and to my own suprise the people dance to it. i personaly find this song not so groovy and i think it is not the rhythm that appeal to the people, it is just the fantastic athmosphere. this song has it all: romance, dramatic, humor, adventure. and after listening more times to these bad quality recordings i must say that the quality dont bother me anymore. now the sound quality sounds like a great patina to me and i could imagine that a clean version of the recording will lost much of the charm that it have. >rob wrote >but i was talking about the full version of the song on doob doob that the >original poster mentioned they had, i don't have the first but, like geoff >says, it is a problem playing it out over a pa. everything sounds good if >the sound quality is good. whole genres of music rely on this. conversely if >the sound is muffled, forget it. same applies to bombay the hard way, >there's a tune on it i love but you can't play it out. I cant say generally that you cant play bad recorded stuff throu the pa. For example: COME WITH ME TO THE CASBAH by GANIMIAN AND HIS ORIENTALS on the Psycho Serenade or Jungle Exotica Comp. is bad recorded but allways works very well >I forwarded this to Peter Principle (of Tuxedomoon fame, btw), >curator of vol. 1, and he wrote me that he's not involved with the >2nd doob.

The stand out cuts have the original length and others are cut down for the best moments. but on vol2 it is done very unsensitive for my taste. The Soundtrack THE TRAIN by Burman where the fantastic O MERI JAAN MAIN NE KAHA is on has been reissued on CD on Polygram India so i dont think they had only a damaged record of it. thanks a lot Martin -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net # 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: Kevin Crossman Subject: (exotica) Hawaii and Tahitian music Date: 16 Jul 2000 22:52:01 -0700 I am looking for recommendations for Hawaiian (faux or classic) and Tahitian/Polynesian CDs.

I am aware of the "Beachboy Party - Duke Kahanamoku" CD on Taboo Records (Hi Floyd!) but I haven't picked it up yet. I'm sure there are others in this "classic" Hawaiian style available on CD (for now only interested in CDs). If there are percussion oriented Tahitian CDs to recommend that would be great too.

It's a "typical" (no it isn't) Bavarian event, that takes place every ten years for one season. It's a 6 hours musical about the crucification of Christ, made by and starring exclusively residents of the small Bavarian village of Oberammergau, hundreds of them, most of them long-haired and bearded. Even for me this was a truly "exotic" experience, and not only because Germans were a vanishing minority among all those American, Japanese, Australian, South African, and and and tourists in the audience, average age 69. The story goes, that when in 1633 the black pague was wasting entire countries in Europe, the people of Oberammergau swore that they would perform a musical in celebration of Christ every ten years if the plague would go away. Obviously it went away and today this play is a 100 million dollar business. I still can't believe this 5000 crowd of white haired people... and my knee still hurts from sitting still for 6 hours. But since this is *completely* off-topic I shut up now.

Date: 17 Jul 2000 23:16:25 +0200 Hey, do I really read the word *TIKI* in the header of a majority of postings the last couple of days? Great-a-loha! Remember when I got into this list some 3 years ago, Tiki aficionados were a small minority in the Exotica list, who were, well..., not much more than "accepted", surely not taken serious by most of the list members. So what happened? Given in? Surrender? Started to like those funny little guys?

Somehow a bath in beer improves a Sex Pistols or Ramones LP. God knows what beer drek does to a stylus though.

So I took him up on it. My Oddiotroniks hour - a sort of preview to my upcoming site - can be heard at the following URL all week long. Stop by and have a listen. I hope there is something there new for you to discover. Exotica fans check Clyde Borly, Mike Simpson and Miriam Burton. don't miss the two Les Baxter commercial spots (track 7). http://www.antennaradio.com/punk/friendlypersuasion/index.htm Click on "Play the Show". You'll need Real Audio. A full playlist (also follows below) with comments and links to view the covers can be found here: http://www.antennaradio.com/punk/friendlypersuasion/pn.htm Bye for now - 1. FEVER Clyde Borly and his Percussions Music In 5 Dimensions (Atco SD-33-195) Two tracks on this album, Taboo and Afromania, explode with unique percussive instruments, sound effects, animal cries and a unique electronic instrument, the Ondes Martenot. Two of the best pieces of exotica I've ever heard. The rest of this tough-to-find LP does not live up to those incredible titles but, as heard by this fine version of Fever, it still delivers the goods. Recorded in Paris, France. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/38.jpg 2. YELLOW BIRD Art Coates Whistling For the Birds (Dot DLP-25781) If I had but one album to recommend to a person skeptical of the joy of whistling records, this would one of them. If they are still not convinced, they never will be! Bubbles In The Wine is priceless. God bless you, Art Coates. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/whistling/covers/15.jpg 3. MONKEY PUZZLE Mike Simpson Jungle Odyssey (Evolution 2005) I collected exotica for quite a few years before I stumbled upon this hidden gem. The actual sounds of lions, elephants, hippos, warthogs and other animals of Kruger National Park, South Africa, with the music written around them. The results are a sparkling musical sound picture that brings the king of the jungle and all his subjects right into your living room. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/08.jpg 4. FANCY FEATHERS Fess Parker (Sung by Gloria Wood) Fancy Feathers (Cascade Records CLP-R1002) This musical fantasy takes place on a farm with Fess (Davy Crockett) Parker playing the part of the storytelling farmer. Head "Mouseketeer" Jimmy Dodd and Paul Frees, one of the most sought after voices in Hollywood, round out the cast. Music written and arranged by Mel Henke! View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/49.jpg 5. NATURE BOY Bill Page Sounds of the Sonic Sixties (Tower ST 5084) A former member of Lawrence Welk's band, Bill Page and his sonically sensational "all-ampliphonic" orchestra perform a supersonic rendition of the Eden Ahbez classic. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/28.jpg 6. COMMENT AND SONG FROM PITTSBURGH Tony Schwartz The World in My Mailbox (Folkways FP 62) "Documenting life in sound and pictures" is something Tony Schwartz has been doing since 1945, when he bought his first Webcor wire recorder and began to record the people and sounds around him. From this hobby developed one of the world's largest and most diverse collections of voices, street sounds and music, a collection that resulted in nineteen albums for Folkways and Columbia Records. The World In My Mailbox is a fascinating compilation of tapes Schwartz has received from people around the world through exchange.

MICHELLE Norman Habel For Mature Adults Only (Fortress Records) Sensitive prayer of a teenage girl coming to grips with her curiosity and fear of sex. Accompanied by harpist Corky Hale. Thanks to Will at Show and Tell Music for the loan on this one! View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/44.jpg 9. DEPOSIT BOTTLES Eddy Manson Suite from "The Little Fugitive" (Folkways FA 2070) One of my all-time favorite movies, a shoestring budget gem from 1953 about a little kid (Joey) who is tricked into thinking he has killed his older brother, Lenny. He runs away and wanders for hours around Coney Island. The entire movie revolves around Joey's experiences, such as getting a pony ride, hitting baseballs fired at him from a ball machine or collecting bottles and turning them in for a deposit. There is very little dialogue in the film, just Eddy Manson's quirky harmonica solos. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/01.jpg 10. APARTHEID Miriam Burton African Lament (Epic LN 24011) This is a big-time exotica heavyweight. Very rare and incredibly good. An album of deeply felt musical impressions of a continent making the tense transition from old to new. No attempt at ethnic authenticity has been made, this is simply a presentation of musical pictures which relate to certain African facts and folklore. The orchestra is filled with African percussive instruments and, to capture the spirit and pain of the African caught in turmoil, Miriam Burton's soaring wordless vocals serve as a dramatic introduction to a truly great talent.

FORMULA 5 SUPERCAR The Mike Sammes Singers Music Composed and Conducted by BARRY GRAY Supercar and Fireball XL5 Original Television Soundtracks (Fanderson Records / Polygram) Great collection of incidental music and library tracks from Gerry Anderson's classic Supermarionation series. To the best of my knowledge, the only source for this limited CD is through Fanderson Sales in the UK. You'll need to become a member of the Gerry Anderson Fan Appreciation Society to make purchases. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/A.jpg 12. BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO IBM 7090 Computer and Digital to Sound Transducer Music From Mathematics (Decca DL 9103) A album of computer music - from over forty years ago! No MIDI files here, this is the real McCoy - sounds described mathematically by a sequence of numbers. These numbers are punched on IBM cards, which are fed into the computer and the digits recorded in the memory of the machine. Instead of writing his score in notes, the composer programs his music by punching a second set of IBM cards and feeding them into the computer. The tape that eventually emerges from the computer contains sounds in the form of magnetic impressions. A digital-to-sound transducer then converts these impressions into the finished musical product. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/03.jpg 13. TOM THUMB'S TUNE Patience and Prudence Liberty 45 RPM Sisters Patience and Prudence McIntyre, aged 11 and 14, were the daughters of orchestra leader Mack McIntyre. In 1956, they had a #4 record with Tonight You Belong To Me and followed up with the #11 Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now. 14. EASY COME, EASY GO LOVER Franklyn MacCormack The Torch is Burning (Liberty LRP-3086) A veteran of 46 years in show business, Franklyn MacCormack was a well-known personality on Chicago radio since 1933. With a voice like warm molasses, MacCormack filled the air for Chicago's night people with a quiet blend of soft music, nostalgic poetry and tranquil patter. His listeners ranged from misty-eyed teen-agers returning from dates to policemen on stakeouts who relaxed to his "quiet hour tones designed to tie memories to." One of his best known achievements was his collaboration with Wayne King on Melody of Love, in which he recited the sentimental Because I Love You. Franklyn MacCormack died the day after suffering a heart attack while on the air during his WGN All-Night Showcase in 1971. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/47.jpg 15. HAPPY TRACKS Pete Drake Steel Away (Canaan CAS-9640) Steel guitar great Pete Drake coaxes from his instrument a strangely baffling sound. He makes it TALK! You'll do a double take that's for sure. On this recording of Sacred Music, Pete is backed by the exciting voice blends of The Four Guys. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/24.jpg 16. HELLER-FERGUSON MONTAGE Hugh Heller, Allyn Ferguson, Dave Williams, Jacques Wilson, Dick Hamilton, Allan Davies, Jules Chaikin Featuring Marty Paich, The Hi-Los and The Johnny Mann Singers Johnny Spots, Private Ear / Creative Freakout Advertising Songs (The Heller Corporation / Brief Records) A seven and a half minute tribute to one of my all-time favorites. The Heller Corporation was in the business of producing creative sound commercials and thematic identification music for television and radio. Aside from one excellent release on the Command label, Singers, Talkers, Players, Swingers and Doers, recordings by The Hellers are very scarce as they were promotional items (typically seven and ten inch records) never intended for public sale. This mix features the voice of Johnny Spots, "Private Ear" who is played by Ben Chandler. I've woven his smooth narration in and out of radio station breaks for various cities and some highly entertaining commercials.

Pritikin There's A Song In My Saw (P & G 108) Musical saw virtuoso puts his bow to some old favorites, changing the titles slightly to fit in the word "saw". Yestersaw (Yesterday), Song Sawn Blue (Song Sung Blue), When You Wish Upon A Saw, I Left My Heart In Saw Francisco...get it? Just as I was about to dismiss this as another goofy homemade record, I listened carefully to the clever (sexual) word play of this original title and decided it was pretty good afterall.

WOMAN IS LIKE A FRUIT Chiitra Neogy The Perfumed Garden (Pulsar AR-10600) Beautiful Indian actress passionately performs poems from The Perfumed Garden, an age-old erotic manual written to help human beings achieve the fullest joy in their sexual lives. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/34.jpg 19. I HATE YOU (FOR BEING SINGLE) Ruth Wallis Torrid Love Songs Of Men and Memories (Wallis Original LPW-9) An album of moody love songs and torch ballads with the typical Wallis accent on the libido. The fine guitar work is by Tommy "The Cat" Miles. View the album cover here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/33.jpg 20. INTRO (PHINNIES T. EISENGLASS) CLARINET POLKA The Jug Heads MEXICAN HAT DANCE Fred Hage Hi-Fi Sounds for Hounds (San Francisco Records M-33009) The San Francisco Record label is one of my favorites. Unusual sounds in music - not general commercial appeal - are what their records are all about. This album is a zany collection from various artists in California. The six member Jug Heads play nothing but jug-like instruments - large soda bottles, wine jugs, as well as two toy fifes. Fred Hage is an amazing one-man band.

ANN CHRISTIANSEN VOICING HER CHOICE Audiodisc Recording Blank I love these blank discs where you could make your own recordings on home disc-cutting machines or in coin-operated booths. Sort of like thumbing through an old family photo album you found, these "audio snapshots" can be fascinating glimpses into otherwise very ordinary lives. Here, a young girl named Ann calls a small town radio host to voice her choice for her favorite song. View the label here: http://www.metro.net/basichip/covers/51.jpg 22. BELL AND XYLOPHONE PIANO - Blues Musical Gadgetry (Spectrutone AH-1002) From the brazen pounding of the Carousel Band Organ to the lacy pizzicato of the Regina Music Box, Musical Gadgetry is a unique collection of mechanically produced music. Other featured devices are a Monkey Grinder's "Hurdy Gurdy", Street Piano and Mandolin Piano. My favorite is the electrically powered Orchestrope, which contains a triangle, cymbal, blocks, tambourine, drums, xylophone and piano, all controlled by a vacuum system, similar to that used in the familiar player piano.

AVE MARIA Virginia Belmont Virginia Belmonts Famous Talking and Singing Birds (Virginia Belmont Enterprises VB-713) Pet expert and shop owner gives tips on caring for your beloved bird and shows off her amazing canaries, which are trained to sing on command.

On Friday, August 25 it will close at its current/original location and will reopen a year later in downtown Columbus. The building dates back to 1960 and was recently placed on the Nationla Register of Historic sites - the only Tiki bar to do so and a rare honor for buildings from the 60s. Little has changed in its decor - all has been maintained but plumbing and structural problems to the building have forced the owners to make a financial decision to move. You can view the kahiki at its own site and at the save the Kahiki site http://www.kahiki.com http://savethekahiki.bizland.com Join us for this historic celebration on the last day that the original Kahiki can be viewed in its original state!

The Kahiki has had a large response from local residents and has stopped taking reservations due to the response! The only way to get on the reservation list is to do it via the Tiki News list Reserving a ticket does not guarantee that you have a ticket Right now I only have 50 tickets available so unless some of the previous reservations cancel, which is very likely, that is what can actually be sold to Tiki News readers we are anticipating that the response will be overwhelming and some people may get turned away This event will sell out by Aug 1, 2000. After all of you have had a chance to reserve this information will be posted to my website for public consumption Columbus is pretty close to Cleveland. You can fly into Cleveland and rent a car and drive down. I think it is about 1.5 hours to Columbus. Whatever you do, DO NOT fly SHUTTLE UNITED! I will post to the list a listing of local vintage hotels that have been checked out by Jeff Chenault or Michael Toth.

Well, unlike my good friend Brian I actually really dig Alfred Apaka--I guess I've been lucky in avoiding the syrupy string-laden ones. An easy one to find is the "very best of" double album he made shortly before his death. You should also try to find any and all "Polynesians" records, very upbeat and lively, a tight group. Can't remember any album titles except for Blue Hawaii, but I think they're on Crown (?) on RED vinyl.

The disadvantage of this process however is, that the definitions become very vague to an extent where they actually don't mean anything anymore, so you can't talk about it anymore. The often quoted extension of the notion of art by Joseph Beuys in fact creates a destruction of the language of art and the communication about and through art. We all can experience the results today when going to art exhibitions and being told that art today "needs explanation", when art should rather speak by itself. It's like a bad VTR-design, that needs an extensive complicated handbook to enable you to use it. For the artists this twist of the notion of art meant, they were recognized and accepted by the world of critics only when they fit into their theories; art became an illustration of the theories of writers, instead of an independent voice in the cultural world. I've been going through all of this as a long painful process and I'm only using my experiences on the subject of Exotica when I demand that the definition of it shouldn't be too wide. Of course it doesn't mean that I despise any ethnic branch of music; in fact all the influences of Exotica come from there, it's just not the same thing.

However it's truly a good album considering the already great talent of Joe Loco. It also has quite a few tracks that always get people dancing, seemingly no matter what the situation I find myself in when I play songs from it. "Bang Bang" is great, "Oh Yeah" is great, plus many others. Anyone know if there were any other Joe Loco records similar to this one? I've yet to run across any.

As much as I would like to take credit for this idea, I can't. I was simply the recipient of a previously made mask, and I've forgotten the name of the person who originally made it. I might have to make a concrete mask myself though. I'd love to take one of the trashed copies of a Martin Denny LP from my collection, break it into smaller pieces, and then lay those pieces in the tiki mask mold before pouring the concrete in. I like the idea of adding 'pieces of sound' to the overall sculpture atmosphere. It might even be neat to have a whole row of concrete heads, each one made up of LP fragments from a different exotica artist.

The Homestead Motel 4182 E. Main St. (614) 235-2348 This one looks pretty nice from the outside with a vintage sign out front. Cable TV/HBO and Corp. rates available. Bowling Alley is close by too! Holiday Motel 4420 E. Main St. (614) 239-1041 Looks very nice and "Vintage" style Cable TV/HBO, Air Conditioning and King Size and Waterbeds available. Brookside Motel 3020 E. Main ST. (614) 236-1724 Very nice vintage motel with a nice old sign out front. Looks very clean and has a Skyline Chili nearby "yum yum." Also this one is located 2 blocks from James Rd., which will take you to E. Broad and to the Kahiki in less than 5 minutes!!! The top three are the nicer ones. Below are the remaining Motels in the area... Capitol Motel 3045 E. Main St. (614) 235-2311 Nothing special but close to James Rd. Casa Villa Motel 3969 E.Main St. (definitely nothing special) (614) 237-5457 Colonial Motel 4165 E. Main St. (pretty basic) (614) 237-7451 Columbus Motor Lodge 3984 E.Main St. pretty basic (614) 237-5485 Motel One 3190 E. Main St. (614) 231-3615 Very Run Down (avoid at all costs) Super Moter Lodge 4444 E Main St. (614) 237-3348 Looks pretty rundown as well ON EAST BROAD.. Ramada Inn East 4801 E.Broad St. (614) 861-0321 nothing fancy and about 2 miles from the Kahiki. That's about it for Motels near the Kahiki. I personally would chose one of the top three with the Brookside Motel probably being my favorite just for convenience. Also I noticed near the 3300 block of East Main St. was a strip joint called the Mirage that has an old palm tree sign out front (nice). >> # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: The Captain Subject: (exotica) In Flight Entertainment - New Radio Show Cleared For TakeOff!!!

Star and Venus here, inviting music aficionados everywhere to listen to our new radio show, IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT, located at http://www.JetSetAir.com on the World Wide Web. After 2 years in the making (it took us a while to select our uniforms and find shoes to match), our show is now officially cleared for take-off. Each week we fly to the 4 corners of the earth to bring you, the discriminating listener, the very best of what we refer to as the Global Lounge Sound. It's the coolest music in the world, and we've got lots of other goodies mixed in just for the fun of it! We suppose we should mention the other people on the show. Let's see, there are Count Vertigo and The Captain, our fearless leaders. They spare no expense in finding the great music you'll hear each week on IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT. Look at 'em back there - holed up in the SkyLounge listening to the latest batch of CD's we've had flown in from all over the world, and getting tanked up on a fresh batch of Cuba Libres. To them, no sacrifice is too great to bring you the best in Global Lounge Music. And then there's Rick Lovett, our producer and bartender extraordinaire! He's so CUTE!=20 And what a voice!! This is the guy you want running the show when the red warning lights in the cockpit start to flash - plus! he mixes a mean hi-ball. O.K., let's get down to business. Join us for this week's show as we go clubpop-ing with some of Japan's great new Global Lounge artists. WOW! We dig this music most! Also, Kahimi Karie drops by to discuss her relationship with Japanese pop icon Cornelius, her song writing escapades with the Scottish composer Momus, and her new life in Paris. Don=92t miss this very thought-provoking interview. But that's not all! We'll serve up the Drink of the Week, our Groovy Movie and oh yes, the Top Ten Scariest Monster Countdown - and presto, a show fit for a Sumo Wrestler. Click here http://www.JetSetAir.com and go straight to our groovy website, where you can register for our weekly newsletter, the Cocktail Napkin. Everyone who registers between now and July 21 becomes eligible to win a free Kahimi Karie CD. Winners will be chosen at random by the Count and Captain, random meaning they shoot rubber tipped darts at the e-mail screen while getting schnockered on martinis! Also visit our Duty Free Shoppe, where you can buy the great music you hear each week on the show. And in the upcoming weeks, there'll be clothing, books, art, and toys, all with YOU, the In Flight Jet Setter in mind!=20 Wow, we love to shop!!

Date: 17 Jul 2000 23:43:59 -0500 <<>> Jet Setters unite! Star and Venus here, inviting music aficionados everywhere to listen to our new radio show, IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT, located at http://www.JetSetAir.com on the World Wide Web. After 2 years in the making (it took us a while to select our uniforms and find shoes to match), our show is now officially cleared for take-off. Each week we fly to the 4 corners of the earth to bring you, the discriminating listener, the very best of what we refer to as the Global Lounge Sound. It's the coolest music in the world, and we've got lots of other goodies mixed in just for the fun of it! We suppose we should mention the other people on the show. Let's see, there are Count Vertigo and The Captain, our fearless leaders. They spare no expense in finding the great music you'll hear each week on IN FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT. Look at 'em back there - holed up in the SkyLounge listening to the latest batch of CD's we've had flown in from all over the world, and getting tanked up on a fresh batch of Cuba Libres. To them, no sacrifice is too great to bring you the best in Global Lounge Music. And then there's Rick Lovett, our producer and bartender extraordinaire! He's so CUTE!=20 And what a voice!! This is the guy you want running the show when the red warning lights in the cockpit start to flash - plus! he mixes a mean hi-ball. O.K., let's get down to business. Join us for this week's show as we go clubpop-ing with some of Japan's great new Global Lounge artists. WOW! We dig this music most! Also, Kahimi Karie drops by to discuss her relationship with Japanese pop icon Cornelius, her song writing escapades with the Scottish composer Momus, and her new life in Paris. Don=92t miss this very thought-provoking interview. But that's not all! We'll serve up the Drink of the Week, our Groovy Movie and oh yes, the Top Ten Scariest Monster Countdown - and presto, a show fit for a Sumo Wrestler. Click here http://www.JetSetAir.com and go straight to our groovy website, where you can register for our weekly newsletter, the Cocktail Napkin. Everyone who registers between now and July 21 becomes eligible to win a free Kahimi Karie CD. Winners will be chosen at random by the Count and Captain, random meaning they shoot rubber tipped darts at the e-mail screen while getting schnockered on martinis! Also visit our Duty Free Shoppe, where you can buy the great music you hear each week on the show. And in the upcoming weeks, there'll be clothing, books, art, and toys, all with YOU, the In Flight Jet Setter in mind!=20 Wow, we love to shop!!

This is what happened to my girlfriend Katja: A week ago or so ebay Germany finally went together with ebay international, i.e. with ebay US/UK. All one ebay now. So what if a German ebay member happend to use the same ebayname as an international member? Exactely: The German member must change the name. (They could have given the name to who had it longer, but, well...) So there was this British guy who called himself indiadelta, just like Katja. Ebay told her, she has to change her name or maybe, if she wants, ask the other guy, if he would perhaps change his name. So she did, picked out the guys address from the ebay search engine and wrote him a polite mail, telling him her wish. This was his answer: "I am not sure who gave you my name or even wish to know how you traced me which may have been an illegal act. Should you try this again I will ensure you are removed and I will report you for harassment. Go away and dont bother me again. Ron Mason" Not exactely polite. And incredible stupid. So Katja answered: "Dear Mr. Mason, Before accusing me of illegal acts you better get acquainted with the various search functions of Ebay. Feel free to complain to the official counsel of Ebay - they advised me to get in touch with you directly. If you cannot handle getting mails from official Ebay-members, maybe Ebay is not the place for you. As far as your record goes, you have not even used your account. With kindest regards, Katja Schmid" And now be prepared for his final answer: "What I do with this account is none of your business and I will make an official complaint through intergov and the web police now stop harassing me." Obviously Katja had found someone going online from a madhouse... Now we're waiting for the web police. We expect they have rubber guns and wear Mickey Mouse ears...

As for the spam prank idea, well... you have all the details, but I think he's not worth the effort. In any case, please keep in mind that Katja would like to stay on ebay!!! A friend of us suggested this Ron Mason sounds like he's 80 years old and we should send him a mail, threatening him to inform our military about him and make them send a V2 rocket directly to his house. I bet he would take it serious. Indiadelta is taken from the international spelling alphabet and stands for ID. Katja's second name is Schmid, the most common German name, that also exists in different spelling versions, like Schmidt, Schmit, Schmitt, Schmied. So when Katja tells someone her name she always has to add: Schmid with ID, like india delta. Incedently ID stands for identity, and in German it sounds like Idee = idea, connotations that you can't resist.

He was 88. Sassu died Monday on his birthday, after suffering from a lengthy illness, said Ruben Avida, a regional government spokesman. The cause of death was not immediately known. Sassu, who was most famous for his futurist painting and work with ceramics, sculpture and engraving, started in the world of art as a teen-ager, exhibiting his work at a Milan gallery in 1927. He was soon widely accepted in the futurist movement, which emphasized the dynamism, speed and power of the machine. He also wrote a movement manifesto called ``Dynamism and Muscular Strength.'' Sassu went to Paris in the 1930s where he studied Impressionist masters, abandoning futurism and moving towards post-impressionism. He and his wife, Colombian singer Helenita Olivares, lived for 40 years in the Spanish village of Pollenza, 36 miles south of Palma de Mallorca. They had no children. Among Sassu's most famous paintings are the 1931 ``Uomini Rossi'' or ``Red Men'' and the 1944 ``Martiri di Piazzale Loreto'' or ``Martyrs on Piazzale Loreto.'' His remains were to be cremated on Wednesday. He is survived by his wife. AP-NY-07-18-00 0902EDT RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) - Neuma Goncalves da Silva, the so-called ``first lady of samba'' who was a mainstay of an elite Rio parade group for Carnival, died Monday after a stroke. She was 78. Goncalves was the eldest daughter of Saturnino Goncalves, who founded Rio's traditional Mangueira samba school - actually a neighborhood association - in the Mangueira hill shantytown in 1928, along with legendary composers Cartola and Carlos Cachaca. Known universally by her courtesy title ``Dona Neuma,'' Goncalves used her house as a meeting point for composers, and she was one of the rare female directors of the school. More than a performer, Goncalves was sort of an elder stateswoman for Mangueira. She was a member of the ``Velha Guarda'' or Old Guard, comprised of the oldest and most prestigious members, and consulted on issues involving the school. The ``first lady'' title stuck after Goncalves set up a visit to Mangueira by Maria Teresa Goulart, the wife of President Joao Goulart, who governed Brazil from 1962-64. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: cheryl Subject: (exotica) Some Exotica CDs For Sale...

Anyone interested, let us know - we thought we'd offer them to the Exotica list first. The exotica-related titles are: Quartetto Moderno: Ecco (Schema, Italy, 1998) Gianni Ferrio - Una Farfalla Con Le Ali Insanguinate (Right Tempo, Italy, 1998) (this one is a promo copy, so the back of the booklet has a "promo" stamp on it) Prices are in US dollars. Anyone interested, let us know - trades will be considered, too. Sorry for the commercial interruption.

I think it runs til tomorrow night - go listen to track 16 and see what you think. Some of what you hear is from the "Johnny Spots, Private Ear" which is a Heller Ferguson record, but not in the set you describe. http://www.antennaradio.com/punk/friendlypersuasion/index.htm Here is what I wrote for the track list notes: 16. HELLER-FERGUSON MONTAGE Hugh Heller, Allyn Ferguson, Dave Williams, Jacques Wilson, Dick Hamilton, Allan Davies, Jules Chaikin Featuring Marty Paich, The Hi-Los and The Johnny Mann Singers Johnny Spots, Private Ear / Creative Freakout Advertising Songs (The Heller Corporation / Brief Records) A seven and a half minute tribute to one of my all-time favorites. The Heller Corporation was in the business of producing creative sound commercials and thematic identification music for television and radio. Aside from one excellent release on the Command label, Singers, Talkers, Players, Swingers and Doers, recordings by The Hellers are very scarce as they were promotional items (typically seven and ten inch records) never intended for public sale. This mix features the voice of Johnny Spots, "Private Ear" who is played by Ben Chandler. I've woven his smooth narration in and out of radio station breaks for various cities and some highly entertaining commercials. This is nothing like the incredible Singers, Talkers, Doers, etc. it's completely different. So you may be in for a let down if you expect something along those lines. This is ad agency promotional material. That's what the Hellers did - make jingles / spots / commercials for TV and radio. these records are examples of what they can do - and they do it very well - and were sent to potential clients. You won't have many opportunties to purchase this so I say DO IT NOW :) I'm nuts for this stuff - I'm pumped just sitting here writing about them. I'll glady take it off your hands if you are disappointed - even tho I already have it. Name your price. So you've got nothing to lose. << I may be able to purchase a 3 record set by the Hellers called something like "a Hellers Corporation New Production" or something like that (I don't have the title with me at the moment).

Welcome to Issue #17! We just welcomed our 3,300th Tiki Friend to the group in the last update. We are now well over 3,300 strong. And this mailing list has nearly 1,600 subscribers! Today's Issue is quite short, compared to others...Enjoy, and Thanks! **********The Tiki News********** - The Tiki Room hasn't been this good in a long, long time! The daily visitor numbers have doubled. Why? Well, there are a few reasons: *Indiana Jones was just added to the FastPass System. (For more info on the system itself, visit my FastPass page at http://www.geocities.com/disneyguy55/fastpass.html ) This means that guests are in the Adventureland area with some extra time to kill. Where are they spending it? In the Tiki Room! *The Tiki Room's sign has been taken down. The sign's bamboo had rotted away, and it was taken down back earlier this spring. However, it turns out the sign had been blocking the visibility of the Tiki Room from the sidewalk. People unfamiliar with the area had no idea there was anything more than a Dole Juice Bar right there. Now that the sign is gone, the entire front face of the Tiki Room is clearly visible and guests are pouring in. So, it seems that once the sign was taken down, more people starting showing up! Now, if this isn't a stroke of irony, I don't know what is. Let's hope that when the new sign is put up, they do a better job of keeping visibilty in mind. According to many first hand accounts, the Tiki Room is looking and sounding wonderful. Mechanical problems that used to take away from the enjoyment of the show are gone and things are a-OK. ***************Other************** - My regular Disneyland site, located at http://www.geocities.com/disneyguy55/ will be the host of the first ever Disneyguy's Disneyland TRIVIA Contest.

The electric guitarist in particular gets off some tasty ornamental leads. Snazzy cover, with a fetchingly flexible lass limbo-ing her limbo way beneath a fiery limbo pole as friends and musicians party on (dood). I think I've also seen this cover in Cool & Strange Music Magazine or somewhere like that.

"CD compilation of tracks from the various covetable Dimension 5 LP's (first and most famously the Dance, Sing, and Listen franchise but also The Electronic Record for Children, The Way Out Album for Children,, Together, Dance to the Music, Captain Entropy, This Old Man, Funky Doodle, etc...). Haack was of course the fellow who after studying with Persichetti at Julliard in 1954, devoted his life to entertaining children with song via his various home-brewed electronic remedies (these include the 'Adam2', the 'FARAD', and the 'Magic Wand') and vaguely avant storytelling sensibilities. This music would be impressive enough for a contemporary figure, even were they not set to tape as early as 1962(!) giving Raymond Scott (later a good friend of Haack, rumors of an unreleased collaboration abound) a run for his money. Occasional cringe-inducing child-mind squirm only offsets a pleasurable outing slightly. Warrants further investigation." -- Hrvatski. $13.00 HAACK & ESTHER NELSON & DIMENSION 5 RECORDS, BRUCE: Listen Compute Rock Home LP (EMN 7021LP). $11.00 MATADOR: TENOR, JIMI: Out of Nowhere CD (OLE 460 CD). "Out of Nowhere is Tenor's third album for Warp and his first for Matador. It is NOT his long-awaited 'pop' album. It marks Jimi Tenor as a serious composer, extremely dislocated from everything else going on. This is Jimi's first orchestral record, and was recorded with the 60-piece Orchestra of the Grand Theatre Lodz, in Poland. The results are insanely varied. 'Blood On Borscht' sounds like Carl Orff's Carmina Burana covered by a heavy metal band with a cast of 1000 slave extras... on the Planet of the Apes. In other words: terrifying. Single and video track 'Spell' riffs on Curtis Mayfield in his sublime early 70s period on the Curtdom label. And the opener'"Out of Nowhere' marries the high drama of Lalo Schifrin to music reminiscent of a scene of alien abduction somewhere in Nevada. Elsewhere, Jimi has Baluji Shrivastav, his blind sitar player, tune his instrument to the Chinese scale to approximate a 'Hollywood idea' of Asian music. Yes, that bizarre." [CD-only release in the US] $14.00 _____________________________________________ QDK MEDIA (GERMANY): VA: Doob Doob O' Rama 2: More Filmsongs From Bollywood CD (QDK 036 CD). "A super slab of of Bollywood kitsch. Not remixes, but the actual soundtrack cuts from the films that made India famous. Get the Indian film spin on Japanese music with Lata Mangeshkar's 'Sayonara' from the movie Love In Tokyo. Big band country boogie woogie Bombay-style with Getta Dutt's 'Mera Naam Chin Chin Chiu' from the movie Howrah Bridge to western swing the eastern way with Kishore Kimar's 'Ina Mina Dika' from Aasha. Asha Bhosle's and Mohamed Rafi's 'Gulabi Raat Gulabi' mixes Cab Calloway's 'Minnie The Moocher' with Indian-style spy movie guitar and smoldering call and response duet vocals." $15.00 RATHER INTERESTING (GERMANY): ATOM HEART FEATURING TEA TIME: XXX CD (RI 054). "Following the release of Uwe Schmidt's masterful El Baile Aleman (as 'Senor Coconut'), here comes another installment in the confusing saga of 'Atom Heart', which seems to be a further distillation of the influences that have directed his records since migrating to Chile in the mid-90s. This time out, Uwe has enlisted the vocal skills of the Chilean rapper 'Tea Time', fusing Atom=81's already established aesthetics of cut and paste with the style of Latin hip hop. Atom=81 quotes and refers to loads of Latin stereotypes, styles and rhythms, as well as cultural phenomena such as the 'Latin lover'. The rapping (mostly in Spanish) is supplanted with a decidedly more nasty lyrical content than the romance of previous records. To call this Latin-tinged booty rap is just telling part of the story, because Uwe's trademark more than anything else seems to be working in a particular style in order to turn said style on it's head. Between the subtle use of assorted digitized stutters and cut-ups, to the tempos that don't sound quite right, and even the often silly X-rated content -- once again Atom has made a record that appears to be a novelty. But repeated listens reveals an intelligence, humor and stunning musical content that is rare in electronic music." -- Billy Kiely $16.00 Arjan # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: chuck Subject: (exotica) Whipped Cream girl Date: 24 Jul 2000 07:34:49 -0700 (PDT) I read the article and it says she was on other covers.

I recently picked up this LP, and sort of agree that these four arrangements are the standouts, Nathan. By the Time I Get to Phoenix is a period piece all the way. And the Impossible Dream and It Must Be Him score solid 10s in the cool renditions of overwrought songs category. Noticed that Frank Hunter's arrangements were the ones that grabbed me--not those by Johnny Spence, Bill Justis and the glamorously named Caravelli. For my ears, those tunes about it though--an otherwise colorless LP. Anyone have any background on Frank Hunter? As far as sound effects, that fascinates me too. Maybe this was a way the producers harkened back to the days of early stereo when such gimmicks were more commonplace. I'm thinking here of Liberty Proudly Presents Stereo, the Visual Sound (LST 100). The sound effects of this LP range from a ping pong game to a jet taking off. Plus there's an interlude in which Julie London purrs about her forthcoming record. Can't recommend this LP enough to you exotica lovers. Check out Chick Floyd's Samoan Knife Dance and the John Buzon Trio's Caravan...and Denny's Stranger in Paradise from Quiet Village.

Boiling them down. Yesterday I combined the "best" cuts from "Soft & Easy" and "18th Street Lounge, Jet Society" onto one CDR. Now I can sell those. There's almost no end to how much of this I might do. I know that these CDR's are a bit "faceless" compared to the original object but then again, this kind of music is kind of faceless to begin with. Next I'm putting the first two Tortoise CD's onto one. Then it's three John Zorn Naked City things onto one (that could be hard just trying to choose one snippet of screaming fake crime jazz interruptus over the other.) Eventually though I'll have to get to the vinyl. My girlfriend is apparently moving in to this apartment which I already thought was small when I was alone. It's not going to make that much difference - in terms of space - if I get rid of these 600 or so records that are slated for "best-of-digitizing" but it might feel just that much less cluttered. I spent a hundred dollars just on vinyl last weekend so I guess I can't really say that I'm "over" this easy listening accumulation thing but let's just say my standards are a bit higher and I think about it less often. And there's some great records on the chopping block.

Definitely. I think I asked about this Mr. Baxter a year or so ago when I finally relented and brought home one of his "best of's". It seems he only did records like this. Mostly Columbia Record Club offerings or Columbia Musical Treasuries. I have "The Best of '70" (2 records), "Sounds of 71" (3 records) and "Hits of the 60's" (3 records and a great bodypainting cover). Sounds of 71 is probably the best with its covers of "Psychedelic Shack" and "In the year 2525" but "Best of 70" does a pretty good "Whole Lotta Love". And then like I said, there's the naked bodypainting cover on the 60's one. Most of Terry's arrangements are "soft". The wild stuff like Psychedelic Shack is the exception. But I like his soft stuff too. (Yes it's come to that. Happened long time ago.) I'd pick up anything with his name on it. (It will take at least two if not three CDR's to dump the best of this stuff onto.)

As far as I can tell, he's yet another one of those solid professional arrangers who did a bit of whatever he had to do and occasionally came up with greatness. I have a record by him called "Watermelon Man" by Frank Hunter and the Huntsmen. It's a solid horns n organ rockin little record that has survived a whole bunch of purges. It says he has arranged for Coleman Hawkins, Joe Harnell, Roger Williams, Carmen McRae, Eddie Fisher and Pat Boone. That's uh.... eclectic. Here's a quote from the man himself.

When he walks into a recording studio, it is with the satisfied air of a man who knows his collar points and curls the right way, his tie (if any) is the right width, and his boots will be looked at by others who want to know how it's done. If he watches television, it's so he can have some contact with the straight world. He's secure in his own taste. He'll buy his next suit at Woolworth's five and dime if he sees the right thing hanging there. He's usually six months to six years ahead in the discovery of things that later become discovered by Time, teens and most piano players..... Now the hip Mr. Greco focusses his talents on the pop music world. Some of the distinctions are obvious. Where before the rhythms had been loose and lightly grooved, now they become driving, heavily orchestrated, massive. Like switching from lemon tea to Jack Daniels. Where before the repertoire tended to vintage Rogers and Hart and Weill, now it's more in the Leiber-Stoller-Bacharach bag... As Charlie Parker once flew with strings, so does Buddy Greco fly with six electric guitars... Buddy has always been a man who's had many things: a Levi suit and perfect pitch. A low handicap at golf and a firm handshake. Admirers ranging from Dizzy Gillespie to Queen Elizabeth. Much, much more. And now, Buddy's got a brand new bag. A pop sound. See Buddy soar."

Also includes a version of "Georgy Girl" called "Gregory Girl" for no apparent reason. # 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: tikiman Subject: Re: (exotica) Calling Fluid Floyd, #2 Date: 25 Jul 2000 17:22:16 -0700 (PDT) Aloha- several of you have stated the same as cheryl recently, so here's 2 email addresses... both should be working: taboorecords@ yahoo.com LKandell@ hawaii.rr.com look forward to hearing from y'all best, Fluid Floyd aka Lloyd Kandell Taboo Records --- cheryl wrote: > > (F)Lloyd; > > Could you... your mail is > bouncing, and I've been > trying to send you something.

Unfortunately, this time, they had nearly nothing. Apparently, some quack had stopped by and offered 'em 100 bucks for the whole lot. Which of you was it? Which!? I'll kick yer ass!! Sorry, sorry. Anyway, so, they had a handful of junk and were asking four bucks an album, even for shit like Montavani, Striesand and the usual thrift store crap in thrift condition. Sigh. So, I packed up and headed over to the Bananas warehouse. They got TONS of good stuff, in great condition, but it's WAY expensive. Anyway, once there, I ran across a mint copy of Age of Electronicus, Look Ahead by Sergio Mendes and a wild LP, Come Spy with Me by Montenegro. Took these to the front and got accosted by the clerk. 19 bucks for Hyman, 26 bucks for Hugo and *12* bucks for the Sergio. I mean, they were in Mint Mint condition, but that's SO rough! I just left them all. Sigh. If I had cash...

Good be boring, but good song selection. Longines Symphonette: The Now Sound of Hawaii. What is this? Anyone? Pop songs in a Hawaiian Now Sound Style? I don't get it. Songs like Look What They Done to My Song Ma, You're So Vain and two Neil Diamond covers. I'm curious about this one. Well, I guess that's it. The others were F&T and Lenny Dee, so I'm pretty sure what to expect. Lemme know.

I had never really paid much attention to the music in this flick before - hey, I was too busy watching the Kung Fu - but this score is tops. Interesting synchronicity then, that Lalo Schifrin has been a subject of discussion on this list lately. Does anyone know if there is a good CD of this score available? Preferably a newer, remastered one - there is a trend these days to release longer 70-75 minute remasters of older film soundtrack albums with previously unreleased material... anything like this for Enter The Dragon???

I looked for Harvey's in Lake Tahoe, but it is long gone. Finally: There is a group of about 12 of us here in Chicago that don't care to shell out $100 to be at the Kahiki closing party, and who actually feel that the DJ's and other 'special' entertainments are actually a deterrent - we'd rather remember the Kahiki as it 'normally' is/was, and not as the site of some sort of artificial 'scene'. We have therefore booked reservations for Wednesday the 23rd of August. We currently have two tables of 8 booked for our party. The Kahiki isn't yet sold out that night, there are seats left elsewhere in the restaurant. If there is anyone who can't make the 26th, please feel free to join us on the 23rd. Just call them and make reservations as you normally would, and we will see you at this informal, 'unofficial', impromptu pre-closing gathering. Well, that's all for now...

I recently spent quite a bit of time trying to locate orgeat syrup and visited several stores here in the Midwest and also on a trip to California. I was starting to seriously consider grinding up my own almonds and orangepeel and then climbing into a sanitized bunny suit to concoct a big batch down in the old cleanroom, when much to my chagrin I discovered that it's widely available as a Torani coffee flavoring syrup. A trip to my local caffeineatorium turned up a whole shelf full. So now I sit languidly at my peecee sipping a delightful mixture of dark rum, banana-pineapple juice, grenadine, and the aforementioned bizarre orangey-almond liquid from one of my classic Easter Island Moa mugs whilst listening to Serge Gainsbourg rap "en Francais" over Jane Birkin's orgasmic background moaning. I'm not sure why I wrote this...I'm probably just getting a good buzz on.

Great movie (just saw it again on AMC) and ultra-cool music, sort of hip '60s San Francisco private eye jazz or whatever you want to call it-- it's tasty stuff! Like the recent "Mannix" CD, this one's got Lalo conducting the WDR Big Band, recorded last April. It has several versions of the theme (including a guitar solo) and some cues from the film not included in the first soundtrack CD. Wow!

This confirms for me that I was mostly right in avoiding Terry B stuff, but I didn't know Frank Hunter was in on it or I would have looked more carefully. Frank Hunter does appear to be one of the better arrangers and I, too, wish to get a better idea of what Frank Hunter stuff is out there. I know that Darrell Brogdon has trotted out some Hunter on his show and I was always impressed (and I can never find the records he plays, doggone!). I did find one Frank Hunter LP and was suitably engaged. It was put out by Sesac Recordings (PA 203/204) and featured 16 tunes of about 1 minute each (presumably for radio stations). These are really cool...everything from Three Blind Mice to Beatnik Bounce. According to the notes on the album, Frank Hunter... "arranged for Elliot Lawrence, Sammy Kaye, Pat Boone and Paul Whiteman, and backed such artists as Jane Morgan, Roger Williams and Eddie Heywood on the Kapp, Top Rank, Medallion and Mercury labels." I am pretty sure he came out with one solid exotica album, maybe more. Surely someone can fill us in.

Well, I can't say I don't understand your sentiment. OTOH - when one of those special entertainments is Don Tiki in a rare public performance well how can you complain? Those guys are nearly the only modern exotica band and any chance to check them out has got to be compared with the rarest of fine wines... (and, given the costs it takes to see them play live - just about as expensive). Maybe if Don Tiki can gig a bit more then we can hope against hope for a new album of tiki tunes! (yeah, I'm the eternal optomist!) Glad you'll be able to venture to the Kahiki though.

Yes, it has been reissued: "Enter the Dragon" [Warner Bros Video 15923-00-CD]. The cover states "original motion picture soundtrack newly restored and remastered" so this might be exactly what you are looking for. I have been told that for the most part, this edition is only available packaged along with the DVD edition of the film, but I was lucky enough to find the cd used. I believe that Film Score Monthly has a few copies of the soundtrack available for purchase separate from the DVD. Try checking http://www.filmscoremonthly.com to see if they still have it.
