I did not know him that well, (who does when just emailing to each other) but saw him as a good friend, and I always felt a warmth when reading his positive life-loving posts. For the last half year I have more or less lived without computers at home, so very few emails have been read or sent, I remember he telling us last year that according to the doctors positive things were happening, so the news came as a shock. I wish I would have had a last chance to tell him more from my heart how I appreciated him for who and what he was. I hope all the heavenly music he loved will salute him when he now embarks on his new adventure.

I know he would dig it. It's a rare one, released only in the UK and Austrailia, called Goodbye Gemini (aka Twinsanity). It was a bizarre, one star film about two 20 year old twins, Julian (Martin Potter) and his sister Jacki (Judy Geeson), who carry on an incestuous relationship and only reveal their secret to a stuffed teddy bear named Agamemnon. Drugged out parties with transvestites and homosexuals lead to blackmail, debauchery and murder. Julian soon discovers himself unable to escape his twisted world and finds his fantasies have become his worst nightmares. Judy Geeson played Pamela Dare on "To Sir With Love." Those with a good eye will recognize her on some episodes of the recent TV series "Mad About You." She was so cute! The Osborne soundtrack guide lists GG as a 15-20 record, but I gotta beg to differ. It was next to impossible to find and took months to nail it. Can't say it knocked me dead, but hey, the hunt is half the fun - maybe more. James of the Back Ward, talk to me! You'll also find an improved section of Bozo Capitol Record Readers that now offer clips and complete downloads of six of these classic albums. New additions include Dr. Suess' Gerald McBoing-Boing, a Little Nipper version of Little Black Sambo and a small section on kiddie rekkids with sonovox. Don't miss Mel Blanc's D-O-G Spells DOG - it will give you the willies! I also highly recommend McBoing, narrated by the Great Gildersleeve, one of the kings of old time radio.

'Nuggets' is quite a nice selection, i think there's one called 'Pots and Pans' on there which was sampled on the excellent Two Lone Swordsmen 'Stay Down' album. not got the second Barry 7 one yet, but some people on the vinylvulture board had advance copies and seemed to think it was good stuff. looked like all italian artists from the tracklisting. > jazz gunn/daktari - shelly manne. initially i thought the jazz gunn > portion was merely ok, but came to like it quite a bit(how could i not, it > being written by mancini after all), but the daktari blew me away. very very > cool. this and jungle exotica by bobby montez seem not to have gotten as > much attention as the usual exotica heavywaits do, but i think they are well > worth investigating. got the LP reissue of Daktari on friday, and i agree, it's excellent! great cover too, with the chimps playing instruments.

Chinese music has a long history, and its essence is best expressed on the guqin. In Imperial China, a well educated scholar was expected to be skilled in four arts: ¡P Qin (the guqin), ¡P Qi (the game of Go), ¡P Shu (calligraphy) and ¡P Hua (painting). Historically, the guqin has been viewed as a symbol of Chinese high culture and the instrument most expressive of the essence of Chinese music. More than 100 harmonics can be played on the guqin, which probably is the largest number of harmonics of any instrument. The guqin has its own notation, which itself has a history of at least 1500 years. There are over 150 guqin handbooks in existence, which contain in excess of 3,000 pieces of music as well as essays on the theoretical aspects of the guqin and its music. When the U.S. spaceship "Voyager" was launched in 1977, a gold CD was placed on board to introduce the music of our planet to the rest of the universe. the guqin piece "Flowing Water" was included as one representative of the world's music. As a result of the many political upheavals in Chinese history, especially the Cultural Revolution, the guqin has undoubtedly become an endangered instrument. Unfortunately, there are very few people, even in China, who have truly mastered this instrument and they seldom perform in public. Music that has been written over a period of many centuries is unknown to most people. In Chinese, gu means old and qin means musical instrument. Historically, guqin was rendered as qin in most ancient texts. Because its long history, it has during the last 100 years been widely called guqin. There is much symbology surrounding the instrument. For example, it measures 3' 6.5" (Chinese feet and inches), to symbolise the 365 days of the year; the upper surface is rounded, representing the sky, the bottom is flat and represents the earth. The five strings of the earliest qins symbolise the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. When Bo Yikao, son of King Wen, first ruler of the Zhou Dynasty around the 11th century BC, died the Emperor added a sixth string to mourn his son; the sound of the sixth string is sorrowful. The seventh string was added by the second Zhou ruler, King Wu to inspire his soldiers when his country went to war; the sound of this string is very strong. Finally, the 13 mother-of-pearl inlays along the outer edge represent the 13 months of the lunar year.

Drums, odd percussion, interesting instruments. Very cheap too. Could have paid twice as much and still felt happy about it. There is one track of nice supper club Jazz, 3 or 4 percussive ones (like the main Theme), The Clarence theme is nothing like I recall, but wonderfully off balance. In fact considering how much I watched this as a child I remember remarkably little. The shout of "Daktari" from the end of the main theme in fact. And the way that the men all rolled up the sleeves of their short sleeved shirts (why did they do that?). The cover has Shelly, presumably, sat at the drums among the animal stars of the show. Eden Ahbez - Eden's Island Did pay twice as much for this. And still very happy, nice 220gm Spanish pressing of the classic. Pure Exotica, I can see why Magnus was raving about this when he got it. Some Dennyish sounds, some Baxterish moments, Piano, Vibes, I could live without the choral parts, but thats just nit-picking. Ahbez has a great voice on the spoken parts, when he's talking about being on the beach or the stories that close the end of each side, its wonderful. A very evocative piece with sounds of a sailing boat, too. The sleeve notes were obviously scanned and converted to text, judging by the consistent spelling mistakes, but that all adds to the charm, and that piece from the fanzine(? artzine) that Vern recommended a while back slips into the sleeve just nicely. Os Pilantrocratas - Pilantrocracia I've been pondering and listening to this since I got it and mentioned it a few weeks ago. Its a great LP, I think I managed to get somewhere near describing it before, whatmusic call it psychedelic, but I think thats way off mark. The lead instruments are Piano and Trumpet, and the trumpet is where that Herb Alpert sound comes in, but the backing is like UK easy listening played by Brasilians, the piano playing is great, very Brasilian: bossa nova-ish jazz. Its mostly instrumental, 2 vocal tracks excluding the slurred lalala's on Beer Barrel Polka, and lots of party noises. Its got lots of hooks and great tunes, and the whole thing makes me want to click my fingers when I listen to it. I was quite surprised to see the Space Age Pop graphics and incidental music on episode 1 of the Osbournes. I take it MTV's doing rather than Ozzie's? Also I watched 'Black Cat White Cat' last night, great soundtrack. (Great film too).

I LOVE yoko kanno .. i've followed her career pretty closely for a while, though i've dropped off recently after phasing out of the anime thing .. still, she's the most represented artist in my collection, with almost 20 or more? CDs of hers taking up shelf space .. Mac Plus OST 2 is definitely the best, a huge range of music by what i consider to be master musicians .. Vision of Escaflowne OST 2 sort of matches that disc, in that it maps a wide range of genres. i always have too much to say about that woman .. she's interesting, i think, as a jack of all trades .. she does a variety of genres well, but there's often something on each disc that reminds me of another song done by someone else .. not to say she's a rip-off artist, but it's a little suspicious. hmm..... back to radio! .. menghsin cindy.

(Long) Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20021104130406.02e29080@pop.corp.earthlink.net> As I mentioned before, I attended Chuck's funeral (I prefer homegoing, so when it comes up again, that's what I will say). Firstly, a small apology to the list. I called Jerry Maxwell (thanks to Jack for posting his information!) to ask if I could attend, to which he consented. I didn't get a chance to tell you list folks, but I didn't really have the time, since I had to make arrangements to get down there and back. So, I apologize for that. Second and last apology for this post. The writer takes full responsibility for any lapses into sentimentality and I will try not to be inappropriate, selfish or too maudlin. I got in town too late for the viewing/wake, so I decided to just go to the funeral, which was held at St. Benilde Church. I stayed in Slidell, the town just outside of New Orleans where Chuck lived. It's a nice area, so I figured if I booked a room there, I would be OK, because New Orleans, as nice of a place as it can be, has it's infrastructure issues and I don't know the town that well. I arrived at the Church and met Jerry Maxwell, who was pleasant, albeit subdued. I spoke to various people and they introduced me as the fellow from the Exotica Ring and we all exchanged pleasantries waiting for the service to start. Everyone was nice as they mentioned how nice it was for me to drive there for the funeral. St. Benilde is a Catholic Church in the Metarie section of NO and one that the Buschs have been members of for many years. Altar boys and other positions have been many people in the Busch family. The service was well-attended and it was quite an experience for me, as I am not Catholic. There are certain rituals that are quite unfamiliar to me, so any inaccuracies are wholly the author's. From what I gather, I essentially attended Mass, with a funeral service integrated into the service. Having been saved since 1986, I am used to African-American Church experiences, which vary, but there was one constant through all that I have been to, that was decidedly absent here: no organ! All of the music was supplied by one lady who sang and played guitar. We were all encouraged to sing along with the hymns, since music has always been a part of Chuck's hyms. On to the spoken remarks. The first woman spoke of how Chuck lived his life and even though I spent about a day and a half with him, she made mention of some things that even I knew before that day: - Whatever you gave him was "the best". When he ate a dessert, it was the best dessert, when you gave him something, it was the best present. I made a CD for him of things out of my collection when I went to visit him. It was a collection of Northern Soul, figuring that I would easily be duplicating anything Exotic. When I gave it to him, he was very grateful and what I now know is true to form for Chuck, he said, "This is the best thing for me to hear right now, I LOVE Soul!" - He loved his Mardi Gras group of 20 or so years, Mondo Kayo (pronounced KYE-o, before we all go Xtabay on this). Through a lot of greased palms and good ol' boy networking, he managed to organize a group that was allowed to march in Mardi Gras. They don't play instruments, (Chuck didn't), but they put on their costumes, painted their faces and had music that blared from the loudspeakers as they went down the parade route. Since everyone was covered in costumes, this led to the somewhat awkward position of having some people that knew they were members of Mondo Kayo, but didn't know each other. Of course, there were other members that were good friends of Chuck's. - Chuck liked his cigars and died of cancer. Up to his last day, he thought he was going to beat it. His doctor had initially given him weeks and he stretched that to months and all told a couple of years, really. Here were some things that I didn't know: - Chuck was an attorney. - Chuck was 50 years old. Anyone who has spoken to him or had seen him would have figured him to be somewhere in his thirties. His enthusiasm, which was so boundless and wonderfully naive made him forever young to me. - The Busch family has really been going through it lately. Two years ago, Chuck's Mother died. Two MONTHS ago, he lost his sister Ann. Now the family has lost Chuck, which leaves his Father in the tragic position of outliving two of his children and his wife. - His proudest achievement? His daughter, Taylor. I saw Taylor, but didn't speak to her (what does an abject stranger say to a child who has just lost a parent?). She's a lovely girl and she will be taken care of by her Mother and Stepfather. I was most relieved to hear about that, more than anything. Another man, a work colleague, got up to speak about him and mentioned his work in the bankruptcy courts. He made very nice and heartfelt remarks, which I cannot remember, so my short shrift here is due to memory. Another fellow, a close friend of Chuck's, also spoke lovingly and almost made it through without tears, but didn't quite make it. He said, among other things, that he was the type of fellow that wanted to be the first person on the ski lift and the last off of the mountain. When he went skiing with him, he asked Chuck, "Let's see if we can squeeze in one last run". Chuck replied, "Let's try to make it two!" Lastly another work colleague came up and the first thing he said was, "I came here to complain about Chuck Busch." He then went on to tell something about Chuck that fit him quite nicely. Chuck and he worked in the same building. He worked on the eighth floor and Chuck worked on the seventh. The man said that he appreciated the long elevator ride, because it allowed you "eight floors of sleep" before you went to work. One day, a man got on the elevator that would simply not stop talking. He was energetic and would laugh out loud, thoroughly unashamed of his surroundings. When the man told one of his colleagues about this, he was told that he just had a run-in with the "Elevator Agitator", which, of course, was Chuck Busch. Some weeks later, Chuck had dropped his Visa statement on the elevator floor, which this man picked up. Determined to get even for "lost sleep", when they next went up the elevator together, the man, in concert with another fellow who was in on the prank, said, in a loud-enough-to-hear voice, "Yep, we have enough evidence to convict Chuck Busch of fraud. He seems to be trying to shield his debt through filing bankruptcy to get around it..., etc." and at the seventh floor, Chuck tapped the man on the shoulder excitedly to say that that was him that he was talking about. This being Chuck, this didn't result in a fist fight, or verbal altercation. Instead, Chuck asked him about bankruptcy law and he and the man ended up talking about this for the next 45 minutes. Chuck then went on to work in bankruptcy law! The man who told this story about Chuck then said he would remember Chuck as the "Elevator Gladiator". After the remarks and Communion, the last hymn was sung and Chuck was wheeled up the aisle (this was a closed casket ceremony), accompanied by his pallbearers, one of which was a man in a wheelchair. I couldn't carry on singing at that point. It was at this point I missed him most, I suppose. The man that allowed me to stay at his house, sight unseen, knowing that I may have to be there by myself, the man who called me at my work from HIS work, just because he loved my posts, the man whose last conversation with me was truncated because I had awakened him (he was so sick, his work allowed him to work when he could and sleep if he had to), but was still pleasant despite what I now know must have been painful, was now silently gliding past me in a gold-colored coffin, guided by pallbearers. I just couldn't sing. We filed out of the church and we went to the cemetery For those who have never been to NO, let me explain something. NO is a major city which is BELOW sea level. You cannot bury the dead in the ground, because there isn't really enough ground to do this, so the dead are entombed in mausoleums of various sizes. So, the graves are all small monuments, if you will and the dead are above ground. It does rather feel that the dead are sort of looking out at you as walk past. Chuck was not put in one of these. He was laid to rest in the mausoleum section where the coffins are stacked, each with a stone section on which the epitaphs are engraved. This was done perfunctorily, but it did allow the Priest to be thanked by Mr. Busch, Chuck's Father, who wanted to make sure that he thanked him in full presence of all who came to the grave and said, tearfully, that he (the Priest) had answered the family's prayers. After the Priest left, Jerry Maxwell, yet another fellow who knows me from ONE phone call, which is to say, not at all, invited me to his house, which, by Grace of God and a Mother with a not-so-hot sense of direction (which meant I had to sharpen mine), I found. Jerry Maxwell lives in the Metarie, not too far from the St. Benilde. When I called him originally, he graciously allowed me to attend the funeral and somewhat apologetically said, "Thanks for doing this, but you really won't know anyone". I didn't take offense to this. My good lady wife was dubbed by a friend of ours, "Little Miss Conversation", which is not too inaccurate, because she is a bright, witty and inquisitive woman, who can talk and listen for hours while never being bored or boring. At parties, I follow her around. It makes things fairly easy for me. So, here I am, at a house at which I know no one and I am there because of a fellow that I met exactly once, even though we had known of each other for three years. I am here to tell you that the last three sentences didn't make one blessed bit of difference. For those who are reading this post about our Chuck, I wish to assure you that he had some of the nicest people that one could call friends that you could imagine. To a person, to a single man and woman, EVERYONE was nice, fun to talk to, glad to meet me, all of them had wonderful things to say about Chuck and were all some of the nicest folks I have had the good pleasure to meet. I found out that many of his friends were ones that he had since his Archbishop Rummel High School days , so there were people there that knew him for 30-plus years. There are two proverbs I am going to bring up, the first is an old French one, which is, "The friends of my friends are my friends", something that I have remembered since I was a little boy in 1970-whoosits, when I read it on a poster at my hometown library. All of these people, who had never met me, treated me as if I had known Chuck for years on end. I spoke to a young lady while we were looking at a collection of photographs taken from stages of his life and documenting his travels (for example, he had driven to Belize in a VW bus, several times and when he visited, he didn't stay at a resort, he befriended a family and slept on the ground inside the hut, just like the children). She was 14 and quite articulate. She told me that her Father was the "ugly guy" next to Chuck in some of the photos. I told her of some of the things that I had done (some of which met with a "REeeeally?" that tickled me) and she told me about her aspirations and her school, which is NOCA an Arts school. I get a big charge talking to anyone, but I really (REEeally) get Jazzed talking to younger people. They don't judge you and I find it quite fascinating. After we were done talking, her mother (who is from Guatemala), spoke to me afterwards. We had spoken previously, so I knew quite well this was her daughter I had been talking to and she said something rather nice. She was very pleased to see her daughter speaking so well and being so friendly with someone, because before going to NOCA, she was rather withdrawn. I then went on to have a wonderful conversation with HER, so I knew where the daughter inherited some of her charm. Her father (the "ugly guy") was just as much fun to talk to. I won't go into much greater detail about that night, save the fact that I stayed there until almost midnight and I had started from not knowing anyone to several people asking if I wanted to stay at their house for the remainder of my stay. I got a good deal of e-mail addresses, addresses, phone numbers and hugs. It was marvelous. Not only for me, but to know that a man had engendered such love and camaraderie in so many people, it was just amazing to see. At every chance I got, I mentioned us to the people who asked me how I knew Chuck. I told them about how the list had pretty much shut down while we reminisced and shared what we knew of him and it all very neatly dovetailed with everything that I heard that night. The second proverb comes at the end of this boiled-down African Folk Tale: A man had three grown sons and his wife was carrying what turned out to be his fourth son when he went to hunt a lion. Months passed, the child was born, but there was no sign of the father. As soon as the baby could talk, he asked, "Where is my father?". The three grown sons went to look for their father at that point. Their search confirmed their worst fears. The lion was dead, but so was their father. He was disfigured by the lion and one of his hands held the lion's tail, which is highly-prized. The three sons, knowing the ways of incantation and witchcraft set about bringing the father back to life, which they did successfully. When the father was brought back to life, he made a switch of the lion's tail. When the four men returned to the village, he embraced his wife and greeted the villagers. He said to his sons, "I have a lion's tail switch and I will give it to the son that is most responsible for bringing me back to life!" The first son said, "I deserve the switch! I reconnected your broken bones and skin. Your body would have been shapeless were it not for me." The second son said, "That is true, but I made the muscles and sinews work, so that you could move your body and hunt once again. Father, I ask that you give me the switch." The third son said, "I reanimated your brain and reintroduced your memories to you. Had you none of these, your body would have been worthless. You would have been little more than an animal, but I made you human. I should have the lion's tail switch." The man looked at his grown sons and then asked his wife, "Who asked where I was?". His wife replied, "Your youngest son, as soon as he learned to speak asked, 'Where is my father?'" The man then handed the switch to his youngest son, who was still a babe in arms. He turned to his family and said, "My youngest son is the one who deserves this switch. It is his, because, no man is dead until he is forgotten." Ladies and Gentlemen of Exotica, it has been and continues to be my great pleasure to know all of you, even in our squabbling and silly fights. For anyone who is still beating themselves up about not seeing Chuck, or not having spoken to Chuck, as hard as it is to do, it is time to do our best to stop. I had the ability to go to the homegoing and I thank the Lord for my understanding wife, the fact that I am on Sabbatical and all the other blessings that made this possible. If I hadn't met all of you, how would I have met Chuck? Thanks to all of you for that wonderful gift, but a special thank you must go to Laura who suggested that I join this list in the first place. We have so much of him and we were even able to help him, whether we knew it or not, through some of his last days, in our way. I didn't make it to his homegoing, WE ALL DID, in our way. We all lost a friend, but just think; now, he can see every post, laugh his unforgettable laugh and smile down at all of us and as one person says, wonder why HE engenders so much of fuss and attention. The world is a brighter place because of guys like Chuck, let's work to keep it that way. My Christian beliefs have helped me through quite a year (I lost my Mother).

Nov 4, 8:28 PM (ET) By ANTHONY BREZNICAN LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jonathan Harris, the flamboyantly fussy actor who portrayed the dastardly, cowardly antagonist Dr. Zachary Smith on the 1960's sci-fi show "Lost in Space," has died. He was 87. Harris died Sunday from a blood clot in his heart while receiving therapy at an Encino-area hospital for a chronic back problem, family spokesman Kevin J. Burns said Monday. Born Jonathan Charasuchin in the Bronx to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, Harris adopted the stage persona of a classically trained British actor with his grandiloquent accent, crisp enunciation and professorial manner. When people would ask him if he was from England, Harris would confess: "'Oh no, my dear, just affected,'" said Burns, a longtime friend and director of the 1998 documentary "Lost in Space Forever." Harris also worked with Pixar Animation Studios in recent years, supplying the voice of Manny the preying-mantis magician in "A Bug's Life" and the elderly doll repairman in "Toy Story 2." "Lost in Space," which ran on CBS from 1965 to 1968, was a sci-fi takeoff on the "Swiss Family Robinson" story in which the castaway clan was trapped amid the uncharted fathoms of space instead of on a deserted island. Harris' character, Dr. Smith, was a saboteur who caused the Robinson family's ship, Jupiter II, to fly off course - but he also found himself trapped with them in the craft.

There is not a heck of a lot beyond "Lost In Space" for which he would commonly be remembered, but this would include a role in a mid-70s Saturday morning live action series by Filmation called "Ark II" (which is to say, I THINK he was a regular!), and two appearances on the original "Twilight Zone" as menacingly untrustworthy characters - in episodes which are not of themselves that well regarded by fans of the "Zone" canon. The original characterization of Dr. Zachary Smith was likewise a one-note menacing character to be lit always from underneath, but within the pencil-thin framework of a typically underbudgeted Irwin Allen series he created a character which was unforgettable, and along with Dick Tufeld - the voice of "the robot" (and with Bob May who worked inside "the robot") he created one of American television's most delicious pair of comic adversaries. The press account says Harris was 87 - I would have thought him easily double that. But then again, when Paul Tripp died earlier this year, I estimated his age at roughly 500 years. Wrong again.

He was 87. ------------------- Musician Lonnie Donegan, known as the *king of skiffle*, has died aged 71, says the BBC. The Glasgow-born singer was midway through a UK tour after recovering from a heart operation earlier this year and was due to play a concert in Stoke, Staffordshire, on Monday. One of the most successful recording artists of the pre-Beatles era, he had three number one hits and numerous top 10 entries in the UK chart. Donegan received an MBE for services to pop music. The star was with his wife and son when he died in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, on Sunday at about 0230 GMT. He had been complaining of back trouble shortly before he fell ill. Donegan was staying with friends during his tour. His last performance was in Nottingham - the first city he played when he became a star in 1957. The skiffle king's hits included Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour, My Old Man's A Dustman, Cumberland Gap and Puttin' on the Style. His more recent work with Van Morrison led to a resurgence in his career. His skiffle music was a mixture of folk, jazz, gospel and the blues. Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler, who recently played with Donegan in London, called him one of his greatest musical influences. Elvis recorded one of his songs, I'm Never Gonna Fall in Love Again, and in 1978 Sir Paul McCartney was the driving force behind a tribute album featuring appearances by Sir Elton John and Brian May. Donegan has been described as Britain's first musical superstar and his skiffle music swept through the country in the 1950s. His single Rock Island Line, released almost as an afterthought by Decca Records, sold three million copies after being played on BBC radio and gave him a hit in the UK and the US. He quickly became a star in both countries although he had only ever wanted to be a jazz banjo player. In May this year he had heart surgery in London and seemed to have been on the mend, although he had suffered from cardiac trouble since the 1970s. Christened Anthony James, the star changed his name after a master of ceremonies confused him with the American guitarist Lonnie Johnson, and the name stuck. He was married three times and has seven children. --- Ananova: Lonnie Donegan dies aged 71 Lonnie Donegan has died at the age of 71. The death of the legendary king of skiffle comes after he collapsed midway through a UK tour. The star, whose hits included Cumberland Gap and My Old Man's A Dustman, was with his wife and son when he died in Peterborough. Donegan, who had suffered a series of heart attacks, had been complaining of back trouble shortly before falling ill. He had been a big influence on the Beatles and had been due to take part in a tribute concert to George Harrison at the Royal Albert Hall at the end of the month. John Lennon was playing in a skiffle band inspired by Donegan, The Quarrymen, when he first met Paul McCartney. A spokeswoman said: "Lonnie Donegan was a legend - he changed the face of British popular music. "In a career that covered over 50 years, he inspired nearly every major musician alive today." Fans included Mark Knopfler, Brian May and Van Morrison. His last performance was in Nottingham, which was the first city he played as he hit the big time in 1957.

I found some information on the web in Japanese, for instance here: http://www.syftrecords.com/rcm2001/rcm0305/ including a track listing in Japanese, which in English becomes something like this: 1. Driving Love (original) 2. Love Guitar (?) 3. All You Need Is Love 4. The Frog 5. La la la 6. Makka na taiyou (Japanese standard, perhaps "Red Sun" in English) 7. Moovin', Moovin' (?) 8. What's up pussycat? 9. Seven Golden Men 10. Batman 11. The Golden Man (?) 12. A Castle in Sweden (?) 13. You're My Everything (?) 14. Goodbye Today (?) Those with a question mark are just direct translations of the Japanese titles. They don't ring any particular bells, so they may be originals or covers of older Japanese songs.

Thanks for this information, and you can believe that Taylor was in the original list of those mentioned - as he ought to be! If it is any help, the "Batman" series was chock full of flamboyant effetes, and now that I think of it I want to add David ("The Mad Hatter") Wayne to the list.

His followers (or 'addicts' as he archly refers to them) are probably born that way. There is no middle way: you either get it or you don't. At the age of 73, the enigmatic and quirky Hazlewood has become a one man musical cult. A singer, songwriter, producer, occasional actor and seasoned raconteur, Hazlewood's voice is deeper and more expressive than Johnny Cash's. He pauses for effect in all the right places as an actor might, a legacy from his early training as a professional broadcaster. Characterised by their sombre and dramatic chord patterns, his songs frequently meander towards the depths, forming a bedrock for deceptively melodic toplines. There is weary resignation, laced with optimism, pathos and laconic humour, often all in the same song. He'll occasionally lapse into corn, probably because he grew up in the heyday of swing, burlesque and live radio entertainment and couldn't resist the temptation to throw a little of those influences into the mix. There is much of the cowboy in Hazlewood who hailed from the Oklahoma dustbowl, but he was never a redneck. In fact, he became something of an urbane Europhile who spent the 1970s and 80s living and performing in relative obscurity in Europe and Scandinavia. Incredibly, none of this was ever planned. The twists and turns of his career were governed entirely by chance, circumstance and intuition. Hazlewood didn't find his true vocation until he stumbled into the record business almost by accident, at the age of 26, in the mid-1950s and he didn't get around to making his first serious recording as an artist until he was 34. He was the Svengali behind Duane Eddy, a young guitarist whose simple but atmospheric 'Twangy' guitar instrumentals were easily the most advanced sound productions of their time. In the days before Beatlemania, Eddy was a very big deal indeed. His records sold in their millions and Hazlewood co-wrote and produced most of them. A few years later, Hazlewood worked the same magic for Nancy Sinatra. On those two counts alone, he was one of the most successful record producers of his day. At heart, Hazlewood was a frustrated performer with a recording persona, which had yet to be determined, if indeed it ever would be, its elusiveness being the key to his appeal. Short, physically unprepossessing and on the wrong side of 30 by a wide margin, Hazlewood was an awkward product to define. He was also a proud and stubborn man who was better suited to giving directions rather than taking them. He made his first LP, TROUBLE IS A LONESOME TOWN, in 1963 and this was followed by an early LP on Reprise. Then, in 1965, a music publisher, Mickey Goldsen, and a prestigious entertainment agency, Ashley Famous, took up Hazlewood's cause, placing him with MGM, then one of the hottest labels in America with a roster that boasted the Animals, Herman's Hermits and the Righteous Brothers. They touted him as a multi-talent of indeterminate age with a quirky outlook on life; a fair appraisal but not one that was likely to find favour with kids being weaned on the Beatles and the Supremes, even in those eclectic times. It didn't help that Lee objected to being pushed around and rarely, if ever, gave interviews. Hazlewood's first MGM sides owed more that a nod in the direction of the records he was making with Nancy Sinatra for Reprise. He used the same arranger (Billy Strange), the same studio (United), the same engineer (Eddie Brackett), the same session musicians and even some of the same songs. Hazlewood's girlfriend and protégée Suzi Jane Hokum, would occasionally attend the sessions and duetted with Lee on Sand, Summer Wine, The Girls In Paris and the quasi-vaudevillian Suzi Jane Is Back In Town. These were put out as singles by MGM during 1966-67 but attracted little interest because the attention of the pop world was acutely focused on Lee's work with Nancy Sinatra over at Reprise. MGM also issued two albums, THE VERY SPECIAL WORLD OF LEE HAZLEWOOD (1966) and LEE HAZLEWOODISM, ITS CAUSE AND CURE (1967). "Lee looked at his solo albums as demos," Suzi Jane Hokum told Barney Hoskyns. "A lot of things like Sand and Summer Wine we did together before Nancy Sinatra came on the scene. He was an amazing writer. He'd sit there with his scotch and these things would just come out of him. He's a very complex guy. There is a part of Lee that is just out there, but there's still the guy from Oklahoma, the wildcatter's son." As Nancy's popularity grew, the careers of Hazlewood and Sinatra slowly became intertwined. By late '66, going into '67, Hazlewood was so busy in the studio; his feet barely touched the ground. In February and March of 1967, he recorded a third MGM LP titled SOMETHING SPECIAL. An unusual jazz/folk hybrid, Something Special was radically different from the previous MGM material. Apart from Shades, which featured a full band (having been recorded much earlier), the remaining nine titles featured an acoustic four-piece, close-miked to create an intimate setting for Lee's laconic vocals. There was nothing remotely close to a potential single on it and, judging by the number of cryptic references in songs like Stone Cold Blues, Hazlewood had a few friends (and enemies) in mind when he recorded it. Other songs such as Fort Worth and Mannford, Oklahoma were clearly autobiographical. In the fevered musical climate of spring 1967, Something Special was the least commercial and most self-indulgent record he could have made - ironic in view of the fact that Lee was hotter than a pistol on the charts. At that very moment, Something Stupid by Frank and Nancy Sinatra (which he'd co-produced with Jimmy Bowen) was zooming its way to #1, while Nancy's solo effort, Love Eyes, was nestling in the Top 20. Then Lee cut a couple of duets with Nancy while still under contract to MGM. The public loved the contrast between their voices and Reprise found they had a whole new act on their hands. Their collaborative LP, NANCY & LEE went on to sell a million copies in 1968. Meanwhile, MGM's Something Special LP was suddenly shelved to facilitate Hazlewood's triumphant return to Reprise Records. The discarded LP was eventually issued (on vinyl) in Germany some 20 years later. It makes its digital debut here, together with all of Lee's other recordings for MGM from this eventful period. Beautifully packaged as a double CD selling for a fraction more than the price of a single CD, THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN' boasts some terrific memorabilia and a marvellous 7000 word annotation by Rob Finnis.

Effeminate Character Actors 101 Franklyn Pangborn: Fussy character in W C Fields films. Usually played befuddled shopkeepers or Fields' son in law. The male equivalent of Margaret Dumont (see Matronly Character Actresses 101) Paul Lynde: Center square and guest star on Bewitched. Found dead in his bed by his "masseuse", but the REAL story is much more sordid... involving poppers and rough trade. A real giant among men. Charles Nelson Reilly: Lidsville villain, Ghost & Mrs Muir and dinner theater maven. Starred recently in an autobiographical one man show called "Living the Life of Reilly" (Now THERE is a scary proposition!) Jim J. Bullock: sitcom star and pale imitation of Paul Lynde NOT a center square. John Ritter: How a manly man like Tex Ritter could come up with a wimp like this is beyond me. Rip Taylor: Crazy guy with a toup and glittery sport coat who runs through the audience squawking and throwing confetti. Calls that "an act". Liberace: Hands down, the greatest entertainer who ever lived. Next week... Butch Female Sitcom Stars 101... can you guess them? In honor of the passing of Jonathan Harris, I am asking everyone to spend the day speaking in his affected style. It will be just like the episode where the whole world was full of Dr Smiths!

Why so generous all of a sudden, Jack? I guess that would be me that's being referred to as not being "impressed" by you. And guess what? I'm still not. I never slandered you or your name. However, I think perhaps I should share your last missive, sent to me for absolutely no reason whatsoever, with the rest of the list, as they were all around when we discussed it on the list, and they remember the context. Here goes: >Cheryl, >I was searching the archives for posts from my friend and came across >your post >And to think I was about to send you 20 CDR's >for your show >I just sent Brian Turner, PD at WFMU-FM about 90 items, >including a bunch of records and about 75 or 80 CD's and CDR's >Shipping was $11.50 Fed Ex Ground. >I sent them as a gift supporting the cause known as killer free form radio >Brian offered me $70 and I took it.

The review, which I'm guessing you haven't even read, was a good review, by the way - perhaps you're a little unclear on the meaning of the word "slander"? I did question the origins of the pressing, because I felt, as a responsible reviewer, it would have been misleading to the readers not to do so . And you've taken my quotes from the discussion on the exotica list completely out of context. What I said I wasn't "impressed" by was that you were passing off homemade CDRs as Japanese import CDs. Regardless of the cost. And all of the documentation I received with the CD to review made it quite clear that you wanted whoever was reviewing it to think that it was a Japanese import. I know those who are used to dealing with you are aware of what they're buying, but my concern was for those who aren't, and order what is purported to be an import CD, only to receive a home burned CDR. And thanks for your kind (but rescinded before it was even offered) offer of 20 CDs for Space Bop - I guess we'll just have to live without them... I guess the rest of the list can decide to share in your generosity if they choose. I myself will abstain (although I said the "CDR" word - does that mean you'll rescind your offer to the entire list now?? In the future, I would appreciate it if you would just keep your self-centred, small-minded thoughts to yourself, and leave me out of this.

NEW YORK - Cigarette smoking and use of other tobacco products significantly increases the risk of death from stomach cancer in men and women, a large study of US adults indicates. Stomach cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide and is known to be linked to chronic infection with the ulcer-causing bacteria Helicobacter pylori. In its Review of Tobacco conducted in June of this year, the International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that there is "sufficient evidence in humans" to infer a causal relationship between stomach cancer and tobacco use, Dr. Ann Chao of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, told Reuters Health. Findings of the current study by Chao and her colleagues, published in the October 1st issue of the International Journal of Cancer, back up this conclusion. Chao's group examined stomach cancer mortality in relation to cigarette smoking in women and cigarette, cigar, pipe and smokeless tobacco use in men enrolled in the Cancer Prevention II Study. They identified 996 and 509 stomach cancer deaths among 467,788 men and 588,053 women, respectively. The researchers found that compared to non-smokers, male cigarette smokers had slightly more than double the risk of dying from stomach cancer, while the risk for female smokers was 49% higher than for non-smokers. Among men, current cigar smoking increased the risk of death from stomach cancer 2.3 times compared to non-smokers. Men with chronic indigestion or stomach ulcers who smoked cigarettes were more than 3 times more likely to die from stomach cancer, and nearly 9 times more likely to die from the disease if they smoked cigars, compared with non-smokers, the authors report. If causal, the authors estimate that the proportion of stomach cancer deaths attributable to tobacco use would be 28% in US men and 14% in women. "These results were very consistent in our study population that has overall lower rates of stomach cancer compared to other countries, and have major implications for countries with much higher stomach cancer rates and increasing smoking prevalence," Chao told Reuters Health.

But for Jaguar, the 1979 song was the perfect accompaniment to the television commercials for its new X-Type car. Jaguar is not the only company blithely using songs whose lyrics come off as downright contrary to the images of the brands they advertise. Commercials for family friendly cruise ship vacations with Royal Caribbean are set to Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life," a rousing ode to drug life from a punk firebrand who has acknowledged his own copious substance abuse. Television ads for Wrangler jeans combine images of denim-clad Americans with lyrics from "Fortunate Son," a blistering Vietnam-era protest song by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I doubt anyone questions your integrity Cheryl. I've met you, and I certainsly don't. Jack would be advised not to harass you further imho. Maybe he's having a breakdown over the loss of Chuck. But its easy to see he can't handle being on a list. He disavows, disrespects, and disparages the list. And the list, not without its faults, always spares him disavowal.

I'm late to this thread, so forgive me if this has already been stated, but Pangborn was also a favorite of the great Preston Sturges, appearing in such comic masterpieces as THE PALM BEACH STORY, HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO, CHRISTMAS IN JULY, and SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS, among others.

Okay this brings to mind the actor Frank Nelson who made a whole career out of "that voice" and his trademark "YEEEEEEEEeeeeeessssss!" I will absolutely, positively add Walter Tetley, a delicious flamboyant effete perhaps best known now for playing Inspector Fenwick - bounced off Bill Scott's Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties, and then "god" would strike me dead if I did not add the irreplacable Hans Conreid to the list.

Okay this brings to mind the actor Frank Nelson who made a whole career out of "that voice" and his trademark "YEEEEEEEEeeeeeessssss!" I will absolutely, positively add Walter Tetley, a delicious flamboyant effete perhaps best known now for playing Inspector Fenwick - bounced off Bill Scott's Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties, and then "god" would strike me dead if I did not add the irreplacable Hans Conreid to the list.

Nope. Inspector Fenwick was voiced by Paul Frees. Perpetual adolescent Walter Tetley voiced Sherman of "Peabody and Sherman." He was also The Great Gildersleeve's nephew LEEEroy. Gildersleeve (Hal Peary) was pretty flamboyant too, come to think of it.

Walter Tetley was one of at least two voice experts in Hollywood - the other being Ralph Beals - who forever got voice work as boys because owing to a congenital abnormality their voices never changed, and they lived their lives biologically as boys. Also, CAL Howard was an animator for studios such as Lantz, Fleischer and Warner. Cal Howard lacked the essential primary R ingredient for him to have been me. :-) BEHOLD!

Then there was that White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland fluttering all over the place in a tizzy. I also thought Chatsworth Osborne Jr's preppy act and fawning over Thalia Menninger was a front to hold onto his parent's old money.

More recently, I would point to Glenn Shadix, who has a great air of world-weariness in his roles. He's great in "Beetlejuice" as the designer, Otho. On TV, he did a one-shot a bartender on the "John Larroquette Show". As far as UK camp goes, there was Frankie Howerd and is Julian Clary. While were in the UK, Dennis O'Dell of the Honeycombs seemed to come across as rather campy to me. Take a look at him in "Pop Gear", also known as "Go Go Mania". Enough of camp and butch personalities and on to Japanese singing duos. I am the MASTER of smooth writing transitions. After the euphoria expressed on the list about finally getting a Peanuts (Emi and Yumi Ito) record, I took a sidelong glance at eBay to notice not one but TWO Peanuts records in this particular auction, "The Hit Parade", vols 2 and 3 from 1962. I won and it is currently playing in the background as I type this. It's enjoyable stuff and their "Molendo Cafe" is a delight. It's in extremely occasional English (as in titles and the odd chorus) and the rest is Japanese. The back covers are in Kanji, save the wonderfully mangled song titles, such as "Pocket Trangistor" and "Hello, Mary You" (the guitar solo is not James Burton, but it's pretty good), the Ricky Nelson song which was apparently written by Gene Pitner, who we all know as the singer of "Town Without Pitr". They don't content themselves with one country's hits, covering French, Italian and German songs, too. Pictures of them can be found on http://www.godzillamonstermusic.com/godzilla17.htm , but I can't get there right now.

Anyone knows this? The Forum The River Is Wide CRREV 14 The Forum.... A long-lost piece of the soft pop/psych pop puzzle on eccentric LA label Mira records, home of the Leaves, satirical gay duo Teddy and Darrell, some of LA's best ever soul records, and Bobby Jameson aka Chris Lucey! Put together and produced by musicologist, film composer and exoticameister (he discovered and produced both Yma Sumac and Martin Denny) Les Baxter, the Forum were inspired by the crossover success of Brazil '66, and Bob Crewe's "Now Sound". The idea being to bring the innovations of west coast soft pop into the showbiz mainstream, as Crewe and Herb Alpert had those of instrumental rock. The result lay somewhere between The 5th Dimension and the eccentric vocal groups put together for live work by the legendary Esquivel! A unique sound which scored them a big hit first time out with "The River Is Wide" in 1966 backed by the cream of 1960's LA's Wrecking Crew sessionmen, Baxter produced an unknown masterpiece of soft pop, grooving at the Playboy Mansion, Flower Power in a Ratpack friendly way. Bonus tracks include all their non-LP singles, radically different alternate takes of their hit, "The River Is Wide" (with completely different arrangements) and three UNRELEASED and unheard until now instrumental tracks of the great LES BAXTER conducting the cream of LA's "Wrecking Crew" session men.......a collision between Exotica and Spector that has to be heard to be believed! This is the first ever reissue of The River Is Wide anywhere and never before has it been released on CD It contains the complete 1967 "River Is Wide" album, all their hit singles, plus bonus tracks and extensive liner notes tell the complete story of the Forum. This is a must for collectors of both soft pop and Exotica rarities From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Thu Nov 7 21:12:14 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (exotica@mailman.xmission.com) Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2002 16:12:14 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] The Forum Message-ID: I've got it though haven't listened for quite a while. Without going back to dig it out and re-listen, I think they're overselling it a bit. The group was Phil Campos, who comes off slightly creepy, and 2 slightly talented babes. Girl Without A Boy is very Soft Pop, and Trip On Me is fairly demented in an AIP soundtrack kind of way. Here's the allmusic review: AMG REVIEW: Forum's only album — 1967's The River Is Wide — is notable for its connection to exotica guru Les Baxter, who produced, arranged, and composed four tracks. Baxter also contributed liner sleeve notes for this highly collectible LP, which describes how he witnessed a folk performance on-stage in a Pasadena, CA, club by the leader of the trio, Phil Campos. Campos soon became a student of Baxter's and also became one of Les Baxter's Balladeers, appearing on that folk group's self-titled Reprise album in 1961. He also appeared, as a solo folky, on a number of "Hootenanny" albums, including The Big Hootenanny: Live Recordings at the Troubadour, the Ice House and the Ash Grove (In Records, 1963), Hootenanny at the Troubador (Horizon, 1963), and Let's Have a Hootenanny, (Crown, 1963). Within a few years, Campos had formed his own group — joining him were vocalists Rene Nole and Riselle Bain — whose arrangements incorporated the "now" sounds of the day, including pseudo-jazzy orchestrated arrangements, discotheque go-go drums, and blended soft pop harmonies. In 1966, Forum began recording for the Mira label, a subsidiary of Pat Boone's Penthouse Productions company and home to the L.A. folk-rock band the Leaves — their "Hey Joe, Where You Gonna Go?" was a Top 40 hit that year, around the same time that "The River Is Wide" began climbing the U.S. singles charts, becoming a minor hit though its impact was felt mostly in the L.A. area. A full-length album was released in May 1967. "The River Is Wide" was later recorded by the Grass Roots for their 1969 Lovin' Things album, and it was also recorded by the Righteous Brothers, as well as appearing on numerous compilations, including Super Oldies of the 60's, Vol. 7 (Audio Fidelity). — Bryan Thomas On Thu, 7 Nov 2002 18:43:38 +0100 Arjan Plug wrote: > from Cherry Red's New Releases Nov 2000 list > (http://www.cherryred.co.uk/newreleases.htm ). > Anyone knows this? > > The Forum > The River Is Wide > CRREV 14 > The Forum....

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am NOT a man of wealth and taste, but I have been on the list before, about 2 years ago; I had to unsubscribe due to a number of factors, but I'm back and looking forward to contributing! My sweetie is on the list as well (hi, Byron!). My name is Marisa and I just relocated to Portland, OR from Mt. Vernon, WA. I've always loved exotica, my main area of interest being belly dance music. I have nearly 100 vintage belly dance LP's, which I am putting to good use at my website, Radio Bastet (see link below). I had previously been webcasting at Live365, but it got way too spendy for my pocketbook. I went off the air there about a month ago, and now am thrilled to be back webcasting via RealAudio. I have 3 programs up right now, with many more on the way. I hope you all get a chance to check it out and that you like what you hear! Oh, and I love to do link/banner swaps... I'm a passably fair belly dancer myself, but most of my energies these days are being channeled into my college studies; I've got my eye on a degree in Library Science (and yes, I've seen the "Bellydancing Librarian" site! Very cool! Maybe you'll see me there someday!). Anyway, just wanted to stick my head in the door and say "hi!" See you all in cyberspace! Opa! Marisa~ P.S. Lazlo, could you possibly either update this page or delete it, or something? http://www.studio-nibble.com/lists/exofaq32.html#List I did a Google search on "exotica mailing list", got this page, and spent about half an hour getting "we don't know what you're talking about" replies from majordomo@lists.xmission.com.

But Louis Nye is a great, great choice. If Palmolive's "Madge" can stay for the girls, than Ann B. Davis can too, although as it happens, Davis is now a converted Christian who'se active in humanitarian causes. Don Knotts is I think an interesting choice, but I think he would be at the top of a different, though not less compelling, list.

The actor who played Lucy's boss finally passed away a couple of years ago, nearly giving William Demarest a run for his money on the longevity scale. For Paul Lynde and likewise for Paul Winchell, you have to remember that some of their signature work was in cartoons, potentially making the material harder to find.

For every role he's done in which he is an effete or a nebbish (including one in which he is disasterously cast as the object of wildwoman Debbie Reynolds' affections), there is a role such as the lead in George Pal's "The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao," with the scrum-diddly-icious Barbara Eden, which says there's more to him of that. My lingering issue with Randall is with his exhausting espousal of musical ultra-conservatism. For him it's Euro-classical music or nothing at all... just as with Bill Cosby it's traditional bebop or nothing at all. -- BEHOLD! You have been communicated with.

And at the time I bought it I thought it far too much in the 'Modern electronic dance Jazz' vein. Thats not strictly true, although there is some of that and it doesn't really move me, but there is a lot more variety than I first saw. BUT the remix of 'Summer Samba' is very, very good. Nice rhythm, swirls and whooshes, spacey organ, all the singing. It feels like the Astrud Gilberto version, but its not at all. Hard to explain. Possibly because the structure is songlike, rather than modern dance groove (slow build up, hook, breakdown, groove, hook, breakdown etc). Buying this made me want to get hold of the original LP, mainly to avoid the repetition. And also to hear the whole vocal tracks (not all the remixes use much of the vocal lines). The vinyl is sequenced so that you can play sides without hearing the same song, but I think having it on CD would drive me nuts. But it is worth having. I've also seen a 12 of Kruder and Dorfmeister remixes, but I've not heard it. Hows the original LP? Its supposed to have been re-launched here recently, but I've not noticed it anywhere.

At the Joe Meek web site this album is called the pop worlds first ever concept album.

Producer Paul Mandell, a leading authority on production music, and author if it's history for the Library Of Congress, spend over a decade searching for master recordings and the names of the actual composers, many of whom had been written off as unknown.   This CD features the violent, eerie music used in Superman's first season episodes. The CD has a unique, distinctive sound. Bonus tracks are included.

Maywa Denki used to be two brothers (though apparently one has recently quit), who, if I remeber correctly, inherited the family electric business, decided that it wasn't economically viable as such, and turned it into an art factory instead, while retaining the company name, logo, uniforms etc. The thing is that as this was an electric company (as suppposed to an electronic), all their contraptions run on 100 V AC mains power, which give them a certain heavy-duty industrial retro chic. Absolutely no microchips, but lots of huge clickety-clacking relays.

Three tunes are covers of hits like "puppet on a string", and aren't really cool, even a bit silly, but the other 9 from the album are groovy "Sound Gallery" style; actually, you might have heard a track or 2 before on the that, or another similar comp.

Mysterious too: "a production of la Societe Secrete" and "conducted by Adonis Ladopoulos y su Combo Tipico" -- whoever they are, they're REAL musicians and play very well. It's also multi-national and multi-lingual: "recorded in Portofino, Acapulco, Corfu, paris and London." Karl Zero speaks and sings in French, Italian and Greek, AND in English too, be it with funny heavy French accent. He's accompanied by other voices: Henri Salvador (brother in arms when it comes to crazy recordings), one Daisy d'Errata on a cover of Taboo(!) which becomes "inouis" (unheard) and a bunch of kids. another cover is a Prado track i couldn't identify right out of my head, retitled here to "ca va ca va", also included in a remix version by Le Tone. I've never heard anything like this before, it's mad, cool, tropical EZ, and highly recommended.

He was 79. Burns died of heart failure at the Motion Picture and Television Fund retirement home in the San Fernando Valley. Burns won an Emmy for outstanding writing achievement in variety or music programs on ``The Carol Burnett Show'' for the 1971-72 season. His writing career took off in the 1950s, contributing to ``Broadway Open House,'' the original ``Tonight Show,'' starring Steve Allen and the ``The Steve Allen Show.'' Burns also teamed with his longtime writing partner, Mike Marmer, in the early '60s to work on variety shows and sitcoms, including ``Get Smart,'' ``F-Troop'' and ``Gilligan's Island.'' Burns and Marmer created, produced and wrote the Saturday morning children's show ``Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp,'' which ran on ABC from 1970 to 1972. The show has been described as ```Get Smart' with fur and psychedelic music.'' http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=stan+burns%22 http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22I+created+Lance+Link%22 http://us.imdb.com/Name?Burns,+Stan+(I) ------------------------------------- Ernest Morgado HONOLULU (AP) -- Ernest Morgado, whose recipe for barbecued chicken became popular throughout the islands under the ``Huli-Huli'' chicken trademark, died Tuesday. He was 85. Morgado, founder of Pacific Poultry Co., first barbecued his chickens at a farmer's meeting in 1955. The chicken, marinated in a teriyaki sauce, was an instant hit. In trying to come up with a name to market his product, Morgado has said ``Huli-Huli'' came about by accident. While barbecuing chickens between two grills, someone would shout, ``huli,'' Hawaiian for ``turn,'' when one side of the chickens were cooked. Morgado registered the trademark name ``Huli-Huli'' with the Territory of Hawaii in 1958 and the federal government in 1965. He soon became known as the ``Huli-Huli Chicken King.'' Selling Huli-Huli chicken has become a common fund-raiser for schools, churches, charities and other nonprofit organizations in Hawaii. In 1986, Morgado began selling his sauce in local stores. It was later marketed on the mainland, Japan and Europe. In 1981, Morgado was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest chicken barbecue ever. His company cooked 46,386 chicken halves at a fund-raiser. In addition to running Pacific Poultry, Morgado served as the vice consul for Portugal. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22Ernest+Morgado%22 From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Fri Nov 8 16:31:07 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (exotica@mailman.xmission.com) Date: Fri, 08 Nov 2002 11:31:07 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] Koko music Message-ID: This just showed up on the Outsider Music list: Oct. 10, 2002 Announcement: Koko Music CD Release Koko is a music star!

I agree with Lou. I have the record and I like having it, if for no other reason than the cheesy group photo on the back in which they look more like a Vegas lounge act than a "soft pop" group. And the song "The River is wide" is not soft pop at all. It's more like a bad pop-folk anthem, something like the Seekers meet Abba. "I'd like to teach the world to sing" would be the closest comparison. Having said that, there are a few pieces of classic soft pop, such as the tunes mentioned by Lou. I don't know why I'm surprised this has been reissued but I am. And on a side note, it's nice to see a post that isn't about Paul Lynde.

Born in Rome September 19, 1930, Margheriti started his film career in the 1960s,directing science fiction films such as "Space Men" and "The Battle of the Worlds." He later moved into the horror genre with "The Virgin of Nuremberg," which was released in 1965 in the United States with the title "Horror Castle" and which carried the name Dawson as its director. Margheriti also made some lower-budget imitations of Hollywood blockbusters, such as "Killer Fish," in 1979 and "Hunters of the Golden Cobra" in 1982. Their themes were similar to Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark," respectively. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22Antonio+Margheriti%22 http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=B101215 A most prolific filmmaker, Italy's Antonio Margheriti changed his name to Anthony M.

Best known for his Mario Bava imitations (Horror Castle), his James Bond rip-offs (Lightning Bolt), his Disney-esque Mr. Superinvisible (1970), his Jaws clone Killer Fish (1979) and his Schwarzenegger wannabe The Commander (1988); he also directed such Italian pictures as Wild, Wild Planet (1963) and Hercules, Prisoner of Evil (1967).

Spacey electronic sounds and a slow jazzy comp accompany the vocals. Score by Mario Magliardi and something to release on cd or lp if possible. The music never ends it seems though it turns more "light" during the film and returns again at the end with the vocals. You will be able to find this film on Deep Disquont DVD for a mere 5 dollars, cheaper than a VHS which quality it resembles.

Outside of the fact that it tried to rip off "The Executioner" and the "Green Hornet", which turned out to be a guy with a beard, paunch and RED tights, it couldn't decide whether ol' beard-and-paunch was to be Green Hornet, whether his sidekick was Cato or the Green Hornet, but when that is somewhat decided, which is to say that Cato becomes the Hornet, because the bearded guy isn't in the rest of the movie after about 3 scenes, there is a fairly good scene. One of the villains says, "Call Superman! Superman will get rid of the Green Hornet!" Friends and neighbors, "Superman" shows up! He is a guy in black clothes with a white cape, but the music and his kata are the best thing in the movie.

Film description: The Turkish Superman is even better than the original. Why? Well, there are so many reasons, it would take up too much time to list them all. But here are a few examples, Superman's father (a role played by Marlon Brando in the original) is missing a number of teeth. Superman can see through woman's dresses, which causes him to continually prat fall. For shots of Superman flying through the air, the filmmakers simply used a superman doll and shot it from far away. In other words, you NEED to see this film.

I think its one of the most unusual and hypnotic late sixties pop records out there. Soft? Maybe not quite. But pure pop? You bet! And really unlike anything else.

At least to my ear, it's not immediately recognizable as a Hank Levine production, but it DEFINITELY has an L.A. studio flair. -Dan >From: "Jack Diamond" Reply-To: exotica@mailman.xmission.com To: Subject: >[Exotica] Fire Escape: PSYCHOTIC REACTION on GNP Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2002 >13:25:34 -0800 > >Anyone have this, heard this ? > >1 of BIG ONE'S produced it and that is the best sign of them all. > >HANK LEVINE > >Jack > >_______________________________________________ Exotica mailing list >Exotica@mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/exotica _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Fri Nov 8 22:01:03 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (James Botticelli) Date: Fri, 08 Nov 2002 17:01:03 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] Fire Escape: PSYCHOTIC REACTION on GNP In-Reply-To: Message-ID: on 11/8/02 4:25 PM, Jack Diamond at jack@jackdiamond.com wrote: > HANK LEVINE Image (Part 1)...hot by Hank From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Fri Nov 8 23:16:51 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (buMp) Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2002 18:16:51 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] A hearty hello to you and yours In-Reply-To: <5.1.1.6.0.20021107133529.009ee530@mail.thebeltanepapers.net> Message-ID: wow weeeee are there any other belly dancers on the list? don't think so. i try, but can't quite cut it! being a big belly fan myself i offer my unjulating (sp?) regards welcome. looking forward to check out the programs. bump >Hello, Exotica listers!

The music itself isn't interesting? I think they are visual artists rather than musicians, so I wouldn't have too high expectations about their CDs, no.

I have prepared 2 more CDs for the same producer containing the balance of the music used in the show. They will likely be issued sometime within a year or so, and that is much more than you need to know, but don't ask me any questions about the potential releases... I simply don't have those answers. I DO know about the music... I did the restoration of the music on the CD which mostly came from my collection of the original Library discs. The libraries are mostly defunct and the one primarily used for the first two seasons of Superman are so rare as to be almst considered "lost" The musc from the balance of the shows' black and white run came from other libraries including the British "Francis Day & Hunter" and "Paxton", as well as the Video Moods library issued by Emil Ascher in N.Y. Nothing from Jack Shaindlins' CineMusic library was used, although that material was used extensively elsewhere. ...

Graham Newton My god, I didn't know that someone on this list was directly involved with the research and preparation of this project. THat's phenomenal. If I had a hat I'd take it off to you right about now. It does confirm what I thought - that all that music was creakingly old even when "Superman" used it. Somewhat turning the topic, I still feel that the changes that occured after the Phyllis Coates/Lois years, and the change of producers, turned a really tense if low budget crime-thriller series into a cringingly child-geared and maudlin one. Every time I hear the segment "Quiet Tension," I keep thinking of the dialogue from that one early episode called something like "The Wax Museum," where this creepy old woman pretending to be a medium says "Tonight... someone in this room will... DIE." Which is of course just a setup to kidnap people into some dungeon lair the crooks have under the museum, and the latest target of their sting is Perry White. -- BEHOLD!

I don't think "creakingly old" is a fair description. When Superman hit the TV airwaves in February 1953, the music in the library they used was only a few years out of the can, having apparently originated, amongst other places, in some low budget films in Europe. It was fresh at the time and was sold to a variety of program producers. It was used to varying degrees in contemporary TV shows like Space Patrol, Captain Midnight (syndicated name Jet Jackson) Ramar of the Jungle and others, even showing up in some of the later dramatic radio shows like "Johnny Dollar" and "Barry Craig, Confidential Investigator" which aired in 1954. Some of the music, designated as "themes" in the library, turned up on better known TV shows like Jack Benny. Portions of the library were licensed to Capitol for a fixed period, and once the license expired, everything was supposed to be returned to Capitol for destruction. The originating library was pulled from distribution and effectively the whole thing disappeared and no one seems to know exactly what happened to it. Some detailed investigations reveal that the originating library was born under somewhat scandalous conditions, shepherded by a guy with a less than savory reputation for honesty and fairness in his dealings with composers and musicians, not to mention his end clients.

Jeeeesh, Jimmy take it easy. The "Hawaiian Eye" soundtrack that I made and took to the "Bon Voyage Kahiki" party was a VERY personal work. It was the first time that I had taken an album and digitally cleaned up the sound. It took me hours and hours and hours of work that you would not believe to make that final disc. Since this soundtrack looks like it will never be reissued I thought it would be nice for some people who appreciate great quality music to obtain a copy. The Kahiki party WAS commercial. Why do you think it cost $100 a ticket? Not just to bring the Don Tiki over, or to the DJ's who were paid nothing. It was basically a benefit for Tiki News who did a LOT of work to pull this thing off. The whole point was for everyone who loved the Kahiki and the whole Tiki culture in general to get together and enjoy the last evening in this long gone Polynesian paradise. I admit I don't post much on the list anymore. I am basically a lurker. Hopefully this will change though as there are still some very knowledgeable people on this list even though their posting is sporadic. I'm not a bad guy, I am a record collector and researcher who likes to pass on my extra goodies to people on this list who will appreciate them. You know as well as I do that some records are next to impossible to find anymore. Isn't it nice to have someone post interesting slabs of vinyl to purchase?

Marco, I guess your answer means you don't know Nino Nardini's alias's :-) Hee hee hee. I'll never talk I think you assume a lot if you think that and may assume a lot of other things as well. I don't know and I don't know you that well. That assumption can only be directed at people who bought that release What about people that never bought it ??? All of these are small releases by themselves. I don't know, but I could ask Thierry at Pulp Flavor how many are pressed in each run and how many have sold since its initial release, LP and CD I bet not more than 3,000 MAX and they still have MANY left from the "last pressing" which could be the initial pressing. Again, I don't know. I've had and still have plenty of customers who have never heard of Pulp Flavor/ and have none or had none of their releases until they came to my business site. There actually are people who are not musically jaded, 10's of millions I'm sure I know it's hard to believe (sarcasm) I just woke up and haven't finished my coffee yet I am constantly blown away by stuff that's been reissued that I never knew existed and never would have known about it had it not been reissued, whether it was an official legal reissue or a bootleg LP, CD, CDR. I think all of the entire GEAR FAB label are bootlegs. ALMOST everything GET HIP sells are bootlegs I remember when the "CARNIVAL OF SOULS" "OST" was released on I THINK Gear Fab and all it was, was someone recorded the newly released Laser Disc audio onto CD! But they didn't do it right at all. They didn't connect all the cues together making a solid musical passage. It sucked, it was a shit release that conned and stole from everyone Have you ever read "BOOTLEG: The Other Recording Industry" I also found it extremely scary Re: all the replies I got for my offer to trade stuff from allllllllllllllllllllllll of these members that never say dick for anything resembling a post on this list.

If there was the occasional (extremely occasional) posting about stuff for sale from other list members, it was tolerated by Lazlo. However, it seems Lazlo has indeed left the building, judging by what's been going on lately. I think it's just a matter of consideration for fellow listmembers as to what constitutes the occasional post about things for sale, and what constitutes "hey, I want to make money off of you people". If someone has a few things for sale or trade, on a private list somewhere, and they mention that to the list, that's one thing. Postings pointing to Ebay are a little different, but as long as it's not done regularly, it's tolerated. As far as I knew it, this list was for discussion of all things exotica, not a list of "I have this for sale, check out this site". Then again, this list used to be a great forum for intelligent discussions of musical issues, as opposed to irrelevant one-sentence postings ... I think Jeff's posting may have been the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for some, hence Jimmy's comments. cheryl From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Sun Nov 10 18:27:33 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Marco "Kallie" Kalnenek) Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2002 19:27:33 +0100 Subject: [Exotica] Cecil Leuter/Jaded Music Record Collectors In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Jack wrote: > That assumption can only be directed at people who bought that release > What about people that never bought it ???

Exotica with a capital E ala Denny/Baxter. Recorded in 1971 by a library music label, Jungle Obsession is a total concept album, unlike other library music releases. The songs fit together to create an exotic dream world. Now this does not sound like classic Martin Denny or Les Baxter because there are 1970s guitars occasionally and the style has some early 70s rock/jazz/easy influence upon it. But Wow does this album ever capture that exotica feeling of a far off mysterious land. The songs are almost all instrumental with only the briefest ooos and ahhhs. I am surprised how well this album captures a south pacific jungle paradise. There are even the occasional bird calls! Classic Exotica from 1971! Yeah!!! * Dave Pike Set: "Masterpieces 1969-1972" CD, Motor Music, Germany, 1996 Chuck: I have been rocked out by the raga jazz fusion of the Dave Pike Set "Masterpieces" This is a great comp! Fusion with the great Volker Kreigel doing wa wa & fuzzed out guitar solos and Dave Pike's wonderful stylings on vibes. It covers Dave Pikes years in Germany on the MPS label, 1969-72. I'm assuming these are Dave Pike's best years. * Space Ponch: "The World Shopping With Space Ponch" CD, Moikai, USA?, 2000 chuck: Keeping up the sound of shibuya-kei, Space Ponch have released my favorite "new" release of the year. Mix a touch of Fantastic Plastic, Nino Rota on Juliet of the Spirits, the Dumbo soundtrack, carousel music, and warner brothers cartoon music and use vocoders and synths to reach a new zany height in j-pop. This tops Yukari's "New Years Fresh" for zani hijinks and is almost as varied a ride as Fantastic Platic Machines "Luxury" One of the songs felt like "powerhouse" The synths imitate organs and carousel sounds while a vocoder is on top of it. Without the vocals you get a space age 1890's feel to the music. The melodies even seem turn of the century. One song, the title song, is a pure ambient space romp that is not representative of the rest of the album. Many of the songs have a moog feel and the same wild zane that moog releases of the late 60s early 70s had. Generally the melodies are there strong and catchy. Theres a bonus space age bachelor pad stereo bouncing imaging going on to add to add to the whole effect. * Ronald Stein: "Not Of This Earth. The Film Music Of Ronald Stein" CD, Varese Sarabande VSD-5634, Colosseum, Germany, 1995 Chuck: This is really a fantastic release! Full of cheesy 50's horror music. If you like this style of music I can't second Allan's recommendation enough!! * Tipsy: "Uh-Oh" CD/Double LP, Asphodel 2003, USA, 2001 Chuck: This is the best release of 2001! Tipsy have pulled out all the sample punches on this. I am stumped so far but recognize a few samples. Every song on it is chock full of fade-in/fade-out samples dazzling the eardrums to ecstasy. Trippy floaty music with nearly apparent melodies that you can't quite hum. The first song "Hard Petting" is the "big hit" with a "bullet" if all was perfect in the music biz. But every song on this album is a wonderful musical ride. Fans of the first album will be relieved to find out Tipsy have kept their sound. In fact, Tipsy has pulled of one of the nicer occurrences in music, their second album is better than their first. In thirty years they will be playing this at Tommorowland in Disney World. * Piero Umiliani: "Musicaelettronica 1" CD/Double LP, Right Tempo/ Easy Tempo ET 930, Italy, 2000 chuck: This wonderful electronic music compilation highlights Piero Umaliani's "Swithched on Italiano" moog music from 1969 to 1981. The first 2 songs are so good you are saved from dieing of happiness by their short length. The whole album is only 49 minutes and 20 seconds long. Almost 6 minutes of the song Caravan morphs from from moog to moog with orchestra and ends in a wild frenzied jam with moog and horns blaring away. This is a really great version of caravan and it says in the liner notes: "Taken from the forthcoming Easy Tempo microgroove Ode to Duke Ellington". Another great cut is Arabian Synthetizer that is described as sounding like a "collaboration between Perrey & Kingley and Andre Popp". There's a variety of moog sounds going on here and Umiliani just astonishes me with his variety of music. Another song on the album, Officina Stellare, is an outer space sci fi romp that says i the liner notes: "from the forthcoming Easy Tempo microgroove "Tra Scienza e Fantascienza" Science and Fantasy from Easy Tempo on microgroove! What a label! The song "A New Exprience" is hippy dippy trippyspaced out! On this song Umiliani plays the piano fender. For me there is a touch of Bitches Brew feeling going on here and on another song Cibernetica. All in all this album is a must for moog fans * Vigil: "Musica Para Hacer La Digestion" CD, Siesta 78, Spain, 1998 Chuck: A 22 piece orchestra handles bacharac/frances lai style music with style. You sometimes think you're listening to a wonderful French sound track ala 1972 but these are all new compositions. All instrumental with one wordless vocal. A stunning release from Siesta! * Various Artists: "The Bombay Jazz Palace" CD, Outcaste 22 (distributed by Pias), UK, 2001 Chuck: This is a fantastic Raga/Sitar comp! My highest rating even though I have some cuts on it. The 14 songs on it raga out with nice sitar drenched vibes. Most are uptemmpo grooves that would sound hot on the dance floors around the globe.

Get this and you won't be disappointed. Got mine from _Other Music_ * Various Artists: "Cinemaphonic: Electro Soul" CD/LP, Emperor Norton EMN 7030, USA, 2000 Chuck: production library musc unearthed from the archives of Major/Valentino records. Funky grooves with great organ & guitar riffs and really fantastic synth sounds. This is a major release in product music! Lots of killer cuts. On Emperor Norton means its available for a reasonable price (for a cd) Lenny Hambro appears on this comp. He Put out switched-on Gershwin album called Alive & Well & Underground with Gershon Kingley in 1970. Also Walter Murphy, famous for "A Fifth Of Beethoven" disco hit. * Various Artists: "Hotel Easy London: Playmates Penthouse (vol.3)" CD, Virgin CDOVD 489.7243 8 44572, UK, 1997 Chuck: There are 4 Hotel Easy compilations: St Tropez, London, Rome & Paris. All are excellent examples of true easy listening and the cuts are well chosen obscure instrumental gems. I really recommend Hotel Easy. * Various Artists: "Kinky Beats" CD/LP, Lacerba CERBAD15, UK, 1999 Chuck: this is the BEST comp I have heard in some time. I avoided getting it thinking exotica samples with modern beats would bore me. Some of these songs are straight ahead Now Sounds and could have been released in the late 60's or put on the InFlight Karminsky Brother Comp. Most have more modern beats but these beats are just cool and they blend perfect with the now sounds quality of the music. If this is a direction modern music is taking I hope to hop on this band wagon. These songs could easily fit on the Blow Up comp and must really sound refreshing on the dance floors around the world. * Various Artists: "La Guepe Volume 3 (Bananaticoco. European Airlines to Rio)" CD/LP, Dare Dare 4, France, 1999 Chuck: great Brazilian beats. An amazing collection of French/Brazilian cuts. This is really one of the hottest releases of last year, along with Mandingo. * Various Artists: "La Guepe Volume 4 (Many Moods of. La guepe Volume 4)" CD/LP, Dare Dare 10, France, 2000 chuck: La guepe Vol 4 brings us a nice cool funky sound of the early/mid 70s. Back then this was called "Sophisticated Music" and there were whole radio stations dedicated to playing this sophisticated music while other stations played the harder or popier funk. The sophisticated music on La Guepe 4 is funky but its also jazzy. The cover says "jazzy and juicy selections from Europe" Most of the songs are instrumentals but there are some "get down" vocals on a few songs. And some cool cool wordless vocals on one track. Nothing disco-y going on here but this music is disco's mother. This kind of sophisticated cool jazzy funk music was put to a disco beat in the late 70s and 1980/81. There was quite a scene of it going on in London and a couple of great comps came out back then. Today's "Chillout music" reminds me of the grandson of this music. This is the most thought out of the La Guepes in that all of the music fits together quite well. The one surprise "Ketja Rock" by Eberhard Schoiner, stands out, this song was originally called the "Monkey Chant" on a Nonesuch recording I purchased years ago, think it was called Gamelan something or other. * Various Artists: "Lift Off! With Apollo Sound (Unreleased 70's Lounge Grooves)" Double LP/CD, Apollo Sound APSCD 209/APSLP 210, UK, 1998 Chuck: This is a tremendous collection of as the cover says: "Unrealesed 70's Lounge Grooves, Scat Vocals, Funky Fusion, Easy Listening"; fits quite nicely in the now sound on Irma, Sound Spectrum, Easy Tempo world of music. There is something off the wall on this collection, I think its the melodies. The artists include the Polish Radio Orchestra, the Buxton-Orr Sound and other unheard of artists. The music is upbeat instrumental or wordless vocals * Various Artists: "Sexopolis" CD/LP, Fantomas 002 (bootleg?), France, 1997 Chuck: This is a great cd of the now sound form the 70s. Its a 62 minute ride of some great songs, now sound instrumentals, some wordless vocals, and lots of upbeat vocals sung in French and a few jazz songs, not too much hard funk, its a soft easy funk feel on a few of the tracks. Its more of a now sound found on Easy Tempo and Irma with a couple of jazz influenced songs. I recognized only 2 songs, one from the haschhisch Party and one by Michel Legrand. The sound quality and song selection remind me of a great Irma release except in French. I especially like Guy Boyer's "Bongo & Sound" its all over the place it even has a sitar. There's another song where a singer speaks desperately in French with a cool exotic now sound background playing under her cries of desperation. * Bruno Nicolai: "Femmine Insaziabili" Double LP/CD, Right Tempo/ Easy Tempo ET 929, Italy, 1999 Chuck: This is one fantastic soundtrack! Really one my favorites in a while and cetain to appeal to fans of worldless vocals and cool sexy Italian soundtracks. The melodies are great and and the vocalist is wonderful. Lots of cool breezy instrumentals, (generally not hard and funky) in that late 60's early 70's style. Bruno Nicola out does himself on this one. There are some real gems on this soundtrack.

It takes maybe two seconds to delete it if I'm not interested. The main objection before was to frequent, lengthy, highly commercial posts from dealers. At the time, I thought the concensus was that an occasional, brief message announcing a sale or auction by a list member (and providing contact info for those who might be interested) was permissible. Has this changed? Most listservs spawn a fair amount of drivel, and this one's no exception. Compared to some of the other stuff that turns up on this list, it doesn't seem like an occasional post announcing a sale/ebay auction is such a big deal. Just my opinion.

Message-ID: <004301c288fe$b4377800$fc541841@columbus.rr.com> OK everyone here is a really strange Thrift Store find. Bergstrom Paper presents "Impressions In Color". This deluxe size album with a gatefold sleeve was composed, arranged and conducted by William S. Walker. Included with this album are 4 booklets each describing a color process used in printing. 1 color, 2 color, 3 color and 4 color processes. The music itself was actually inspired by the actual printing presses and each track starts off with a printing press sound then the music is gradually mixed in and takes over. I couldn't believe it when I found this thing. It even describes what type of printing press, the model # and how many impressions per hour it makes. Here are some song titles........"Press Party", "Opus in Offset" and "Printer's Devil". The music borders on jazz and rhythmically swings. Not bad for a dollar eh?

[does anyone know if it is genuine? not seen a mention of this album on the list] nice, easy style tracks, a few Prog moments, and then goes a bit exotic towards the end, with added percussion and track titles about voodoo etc. Kip Anderson and the Tides - Shango! - 60s issue of what i assume is a 50s record. not listened to it properly yet (it needs a clean), but seems to be 'standard' exotica but with a huge great cheesy organ sound over the top. i am looking forward to listening to this properly. Senor Soul - It's Your Thing (reissue) - heavy funk/soul organ LP, like The Mohawks etc. it's a bit patchy, but is good when it works Julius Brockington - Sophisticated Funk (reissue) - outstanding! not a bad track, even the obligatory original track included for the royalties is excellent. really heavy covers of 'Let's Stay Together' and Aretha's 'Rocksteady', but not typical funk - he goes for a thick Hammond wall-of-sound, rather than the usual thinner jazz organ sound (a la Jimmy Smith or Blue Note records) From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Sun Nov 10 21:56:13 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (James Botticelli) Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2002 16:56:13 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] Cool and Strange Response In-Reply-To: <001201c288ce$eefa0b40$fc541841@columbus.rr.com> Message-ID: on 11/10/02 10:36 AM, Jeff Chenault at jchenaul@columbus.rr.com wrote: > The "Hawaiian Eye" soundtrack that I made and > took to the "Bon Voyage Kahiki" party was a VERY personal work.

Marco, I guess your answer means you don't know Nino Nardini's alias's :-) Hee hee hee. I'll never talk I think you assume a lot if you think that and may assume a lot of other things as well. I don't know and I don't know you that well. That assumption can only be directed at people who bought that release What about people that never bought it ??? All of these are small releases by themselves. I don't know, but I could ask Thierry at Pulp Flavor how many are pressed in each run and how many have sold since its initial release, LP and CD I bet not more than 3,000 MAX and they still have MANY left from the "last pressing" which could be the initial pressing. Again, I don't know. I've had and still have plenty of customers who have never heard of Pulp Flavor/ and have none or had none of their releases until they came to my business site. There actually are people who are not musically jaded, 10's of millions I'm sure I know it's hard to believe (sarcasm) I just woke up and haven't finished my coffee yet I am constantly blown away by stuff that's been reissued that I never knew existed and never would have known about it had it not been reissued, whether it was an official legal reissue or a bootleg LP, CD, CDR. I think all of the entire GEAR FAB label are bootlegs. ALMOST everything GET HIP sells are bootlegs I remember when the "CARNIVAL OF SOULS" "OST" was released on I THINK Gear Fab and all it was, was someone recorded the newly released Laser Disc audio onto CD! But they didn't do it right at all. They didn't connect all the cues together making a solid musical passage. It sucked, it was a shit release that conned and stole from everyone Have you ever read "BOOTLEG: The Other Recording Industry" I also found it extremely scary Re: all the replies I got for my offer to trade stuff from allllllllllllllllllllllll of these members that never say dick for anything resembling a post on this list. They are just here for the taking. That's probably most of the world and this is just a small microworld, so it's the same. TALK ABOUT JADED! I SHOULD TALK ;-) Where's Chuck when I need him most!

Summer Samba from the original is just sublime. The remix was nice too, you almost can't go wrong with a melody like that. But the 12" was described as a Latino inspired remix.

She does a comedy-folk program. Kornflake is one of the sweetest and funniest people I know. I was supposed to do her show this Tuesday. Showed up at 6AM on Tuesday ready to sub one of my favorite programs, but WJUL was down with the same problem that came back during my show. Well, a few days later Kornflake stopped in during my. We were talking on-air and mentioned how disappointed I was because was I looking forward to playing "Chicken Impossible". One of the tracks she always plays on her show is a version of "Mission Impossible" with a chicken clucking along with the music. Since she could not find the CD I put on the original "Mission Impossible" theme and WE supplied the chicken clucking noises to the music. Hence, the Kornflake-Martooni Live Chicken Remix. Do you know hard it is to cluck like a chicken for 2 and a half minutes? Kornflake did just fine! I could barely keep up.

Very nice, too. Surprisingly the sound isn't as light as the remixes sounded. I'd say that the remix off the remixes LP of Summer Samba was even better than the good original version. The swirly noises just send it into a kind of outer space dub mode. August day was the other heavily remixed track I couldn't remember last week. Samba de Bancao is very good, quite odd sounding, the track seems to be a reworking of a Ninja Tunes track, judging from the sleevenotes. Overall some lovely accoustic guitar playing, and nicely a few tracks without rhythm tracks at all, just the guitar for accompaniment. The wrong season for buying such lovely summer sounds. Great to see. While I was in the shop I picked up a Candido LP 'Drum Fever'. Its pretty much like a funkier Incredible Bongo Band for the most part, but on side 2 there are two breathtaking easy bongo songs 'Sultry' and 'Kushty', flutes and accoustic guitars. Absolutely first rate. I had to play Sultry several times when I first heard it. Its one of them there re-issues with a bit of a dodgy sleeve (looks like a photocopy). Cheap though, well worth the effort. I also saw a lovely blue gatefold re-issue of the Barbarella OST. And I bought a copy of the new Suicide LP, which is very good, if you like that sort of thing. And I do.

Suicide Message-ID: I was going to take this elsewhere, but as you asked... The other 3 Suicide LP's have a progression, one flows on from the next, and this one continues that, it sounds like Suicide, but its not a retreading of the same old ground, they've moved on. First impressions are really helped by having a great opening track, very disorienting, echoed and slurred, a complete buzz. Nice package, its a well cut (Porky again!) double LP, one inner sleeve is black with a track listing, one is red with a track listing and pretentious comments that reminded me of old ZTT releases. And with titles along the lines of: 1. Televised Executions 2. Misery Train 3. Swearin' To The Flag 4. Beggin' For Miracles 5. American Mean 6. Wrong Decisions 7. Death Machine 8. Power Au Go-Go 9. Dachau, Disney, Disco 10. Child, It's A New World 11. I Don't Know I thought it would probably fit your worldview (as I've perceived it over the years). You should be able to get MP3's from the Internet, of some of it at least, I've spoken to friends who said they'd heard bits of it before I bought it. Not much help if you haven't heard Suicide, but as for describing them cold, in terms other than referencing suicide themselves, I don't know where to start.

'Concerto' and 'Get Records' in the Utrechtsestraat (near the 'Rembrandtplein') are record shops that are very much worth checking out.

Just curious... From: "Jack Diamond" > Arguing on the web is like winning the special olypics Basically, once upon a time, you were not allowed to post things for sale on the Exotica list, because certain people started to use it as a regular outlet for their own advertising. If there was the occasional (extremely occasional) posting about stuff for sale from other list members, it was tolerated by Lazlo. However, it seems Lazlo has indeed left the building, judging by what's been going on lately. I think it's just a matter of consideration for fellow listmembers as to what constitutes the occasional post about things for sale, and what constitutes "hey, I want to make money off of you people". If someone has a few things for sale or trade, on a private list somewhere, and they mention that to the list, that's one thing. Postings pointing to Ebay are a little different, but as long as it's not done regularly, it's tolerated. As far as I knew it, this list was for discussion of all things exotica, not a list of "I have this for sale, check out this site". Then again, this list used to be a great forum for intelligent discussions of musical issues, as opposed to irrelevant one-sentence postings ... I think Jeff's posting may have been the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for some, hence Jimmy's comments. cheryl If anyone here wants any of my own CD's on labels; > They are $13.00 each + shipping, except of course to people that aren't > "impressed" > which I am sure they wouldn't have anything to do with me anyway, except > slandering my name > on the web and in hard copy magazines. Why so generous all of a sudden, Jack? I guess that would be me that's being referred to as not being "impressed" by you. And guess what? I'm still not. I never slandered you or your name. However, I think perhaps I should share your last missive, sent to me for absolutely no reason whatsoever, with the rest of the list, as they were all around when we discussed it on the list, and they remember the context. Here goes: >Cheryl, >I was searching the archives for posts from my friend and came across >your post >And to think I was about to send you 20 CDR's >for your show >I just sent Brian Turner, PD at WFMU-FM about 90 items, >including a bunch of records and about 75 or 80 CD's and CDR's >Shipping was $11.50 Fed Ex Ground. >I sent them as a gift supporting the cause known as killer free form radio >Brian offered me $70 and I took it. Ain't I a whore ? >Sorry your not "impressed", but to, say that ANY CD or anything >at $15.00 is high priced, is quite ridiculous, I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS >MAYBE for Canadian $$ Vs US dollars - 1 1/2 times the cost $15.00 = $23.00 >I can understand that statement, MAYBE. >But $15.00 for a recording that is unavailable in a format that most people >CAN NOT FIND PERIOD, >OR NEVER EVEN HEARD OF, let alone want to play a record, OR EVEN HAVE A >RECORD PLAYER, >most people think of it as a blessing, as Chuck did >I'll tell Dana or the new owner of C and S "Magazine" not to have you review >anything I send them >Sincerely >Jack Anyways, Jack - first of all, I will save you the trouble of telling Cool & Strange to keep your CDRs from me - I will ask them myself. The review, which I'm guessing you haven't even read, was a good review, by the way - perhaps you're a little unclear on the meaning of the word "slander"? I did question the origins of the pressing, because I felt, as a responsible reviewer, it would have been misleading to the readers not to do so . And you've taken my quotes from the discussion on the exotica list completely out of context. What I said I wasn't "impressed" by was that you were passing off homemade CDRs as Japanese import CDs. Regardless of the cost. And all of the documentation I received with the CD to review made it quite clear that you wanted whoever was reviewing it to think that it was a Japanese import. I know those who are used to dealing with you are aware of what they're buying, but my concern was for those who aren't, and order what is purported to be an import CD, only to receive a home burned CDR. And thanks for your kind (but rescinded before it was even offered) offer of 20 CDs for Space Bop - I guess we'll just have to live without them... I guess the rest of the list can decide to share in your generosity if they choose. I myself will abstain (although I said the "CDR" word - does that mean you'll rescind your offer to the entire list now?? In the future, I would appreciate it if you would just keep your self-centred, small-minded thoughts to yourself, and leave me out of this.

But this whole list has been the "panties in a knot" list lately. And as offensive a comment as that might have been, I find it hard to believe that those it was directed at were actually offended. I'm sure you guys laughed at it. I hope you did anyway. If you didn't, then maybe this argument is getting a little out of hand. Let's stop arguing. If we don't argue in front of the children, they won't join in and say stupid things. And as far as the original issue goes, I for one have no problem if someone wants to offer bootleg CD's for sale on this list. I've never bought one but that's because I'm lazy and I usually don't care if I get everything. It's hard to believe that people here actually begrudge someone trying to make a few bucks from the music we talk about. It seems a bit puritanical. Like "the music should be free, man!". And it's also a little distressing to me to think that this list can't deal with a bit of Diamond-like eccentricity. If some of us can deal with fifty posts about dead actors who played homosexuals on TV then surely we can deal with a few CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATIONS!!! This list will die if the petty arguing doesn't stop.

And she doesn't harrass other list members by e-mail like a certain individual is harrassing me at the moment. Marco List, That's not me. Just in case anyone were wondering A private conversation between 2 people is exactly that I have not seen any posts from Cheryl or Brian that have anything to do with music and whatever else is OK to post, regarding this particular list other than her posting their Space Bop play lists. It's too bad you can't get to be a 2 hour show. It's a 1 hour show, correct ? It looked like a 1 hour show. Marco, Why don't you add whomever's e-mail address to your filters ? Then their e-mail will never even reach you. Maybe others didn't know about this and that's why I posted it here (Smiles) or I would have simply e-mailed Marco privately Brian, I didn't rejoin this list to promote my business site and have only mentioned it 1 time in good faith. I rarely put my site address at the end of any posts and could easily stop It's not that important to me. I'm not here to promote my site I joined to talk about and learn things I didn't know, which amount in the gazillions. I am not interested in slamming/dissing anyone, especially directing anything at someone directly tho I AM GUILTY OF THAT and it will never happen again. If I did want to do that, I e-mail them privately, which I have done. Whatever they have done is their business and has nothing to do with me or anyone else for that matter I also don't think it's tooooooooooo much for anyone to share with the list, that they have whatever up on EBAY for auction. EBAY is outlawing almost everything. Including what people do in their private personal lives, regarding auctions that they pay money for, like posting on newsgroups that they have auctions. This has happened before in history. They were called NAZIS. I am not interested in talking about what others have said to me, privately. That is solely between me and them and really doesn't amount to much of anything resembling important enough to involve anyone else ever, let alone posting what someone says in a private personal e-mail to this list Words can be changed, everything can be changed and manipulated in that e-mail to say different things than what was actually said. This is all toooooooooooooooooooo silly With warm regards, Jack From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Mon Nov 11 17:45:12 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Buddy Love) Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 12:45:12 -0500 (US Eastern Standard Time) Subject: [Exotica] Commercialism on the EML!

Oh yeah! Definitely. I just got hold of this (for the current exploitika horror movie soundtrack playlist - plug, plug!) and I don't know why I hadn't got it sooner. Very Goblinesque. Kinda Prog rock / experimental electronic and also atmospheric - also slightly funky in places - but funky like the Contamination OST (Goblin also). I'm gonna show my ignorance here (and in front of all you knowledgeable folks!), but I'm pretty sure that "Libra" (who do the music for Schock) consisted of Goblin band members. You can hear tracks from it on the current Exploitika show. Col _____________________________________________________________ Exploitika Radio!

The sound is like the Gentle People with a dance beat or P5 in their easier moments. This is one of the most impressive releases I've heard in some time. A modern pop now sound full of surprises, I can't recommend this enough. * Elisabeth Vincentelli: excellent and should appeal to exoticats who enjoy the mix of computers and easy listening or bossa. * Gentle People: "Simply Faboo" CD, Flavour Of Sound TFCK-87620, Japan, 1999 | CD, Rephlex, UK (distributed in USA by Caroline), 1999 Chuck: This is really a fun listen. My first impression was that the Gentle People are trying lots of new things. Its more produced. Some songs have more beats and more of an electronica feel on them. There is also ONE song that is straight 1978 disco. If you like disco this is really a good disco song. The songs do not ooze in dreamland as well as the "Journey" song off of their first album but there are many well written fun gentle peoplesque songs on this album. * Goblin: "Suspiria" CD, King Record KICP 2721, Japan, 1993, deleted | CD, Cinevox MDF 305, Italy, 2001 Lazlo Nibble: "Tubular Bells" on mescaline. :-) * Chuck: This soundtrack is fabulous. Its really wild, psychedelic weird with moog & splashing effects. Its more 70s psychedelic then 60s now sound. * Antonio Carlos Jobim. Gal Costa: "Rio Revisited" CD, Verve JazzVisions 841 286, USA, 1989 Chuck: For me it is the most exotic of all Jobim albums. Lots of girl chorus voices feverishly singing his songs. A big, beautiful prodution of Jobim. You can't go wrong for the price. * Ramon Leal & Beatrice Binotti: "Bossanova 1999" CD, Siesta, Spain, 1999 Chuck: This is one great straight ahead bossa nova album. Ramon Leal and the band are tight! Bearice Binotti's vocals are beautiful. She can really hit the high notes. Bossa Nova standards are interpreted in a fresh authentic style. When they do "Summer Samba" Ramon Leal sings from the left speaker and Beatrice from the right, its a stunning remake of this classic. The quality of sound is tremendous! It is such a great recording job that I think they were using the old mikes at Verve. The album is also produced so well, nothing is too loud, it all blends pefectly. There is not a bad song on this album. Its a collection of bossa nova standouts. * Various Artists: "Expresso" CD, Siesta 60, Spain, 1998? Chuck : This cd nails the suave sophisticated easy listening sound that we seem to be drifting away from with the Now Sound. I can't recommend this Expresso cd enough, just about every song nails it. Way too cool! * Various Artists: "Girls In The Garage Volume 9: Oriental Special (A Collection Of Asian Girl Sound From The '60s)" CD, Romulan, USA, 199? Chuck: The now sounds of Singapore and Indonesia! Two versions of the great 1966 hit Hanky Panky one punked up in english and the other in Chinese. Sugar Town, Love Potion #9, Yummy Yummy, As Tears Go By, Fever and a few other great songs I'm not familiar with. This is a rocking now sound collection! Reasonably priced from medium rare records. This is much better then I thought it would be, the songs have an originality and feeling that make this a great collection! * Various Artists: "The Mighty Mellow 1: A Folk-Funk Psychedelic Experience" Double LP/CD, YellowStone 9559, Italy, 1997 Br. Cleve: This is really nice, a mellow groove album of funky soul by people like Mancini, Montenegro, David Axelrod, Andre Previn, etc. While not technically part of the Mood Mosaic series, it shares the same sensibilities. * Chuck: This has to be one of the smoothest mellowest funkiest psychedelic easy listening experiences in my whole collect of vinyl & plastic covered aluminum. I can't imagine anyone not liking this. Its a 70 minute must own escapade into very sophisticated sounds. * Various Artists: "She Had A Taste For Music (Rare Gems From The Italian Erotic Archive)" CD/LP, Dagored RED103 (distributed in USA by Runt), Italy, 1999 Chuck: It's almost all gentle instrumental soundtrack melodies, with a couple of oh so sexy spoken word songs. Wonderful soft Bacharac influenced melodies that are perfect for the wee wee hours or your first cup of coffee on an early breezy sunny Sunday morning. Theres nothing funky or hard going on here, no driving drum beats until the last couple of songs. The music floats gently until the end of the cd and then you want to dance and then it's all soft again. * Gianno Ferrio: "La Morte Accarezza A Mezzanotte" Double LP/CD, Right Tempo/ Easy Tempo ET 902, Italy, 1998 Chuck: A tremenous soundtrack that takes you on a dark mysterious easy listening journey to a fearful place that is best left on your cd player. The sound starts off slow & easy and suddenly dramatic spy jazz cuts pop out with a funky organ. The atmosphere of suspense, fear and longing is captured dramatically by Gianni Ferrio with soundscapes on this all killer no filler release. * Piero Piccioni: "Camille 2000" Double LP/CD, Right Tempo ET 905, Italy, 1998 Chuck: One of the best sensual soundtracks ever made. Pierro Piccioni's amazing melodies drench your ears in one great exotica sound experience. Then as the plot thickens so does the sound. An organ comes in and you're dropped off your cloud and down to a new earthly sound. The song Camille 2000 is simply a perfect easy soft exotic melody and it is the bookends on this great soundtrack.

I am no expert on them, but as far as I know Jazzanova is a project/collective of people from Berlin, Germany. They became well known for doing good remixes and were pretty active dj-ing with jazzy sets in prior years. Everybody waited a long time for their first album of original music, bought it, and now there’s this notion that they are better at remixing. But I can’t really tell, first: I don’t have that album and maybe it’s just that Berlin is a fast moving these days, and trendy people try to run from their recent past as fast as they can.

List/Ford, "Buyin' a new turntable blues" was composed and 1st performed by T Bone Walker in 1947 about 15 minutes before he wrote and performed "Stormy Monday Blues", playing his guitar behind his head doin' full leg splits all the way down, 30 years before Hendrix did it. The behind the head thing. I used to have a Rega Planar II for a bunch of years, but when I started doing web radio or whatever it was called, I sold it and got me 2 Technic 1200's and actually really like them for a good 'ol rekkid player, but they are not $350.00 and this was almost 3 years ago, so just forget that right now young man! ;-) I see Rega Planar's on EBAY all the time and people SCORE them for around $250 which is what I paid for mine, used from a little old lady in Pasadena or in other words a lady who never used it, so it was basically new, shiny and gorgeous, cartridge included I think that's a good price considering Planar 3's I think are 850 Just approx prices talking out my left ear They don't even make 2's anymore and they are a GOOD TABLE (<- That's for Don) The other turntable I had for years on end that was GREAT was a Systemdek and both Systemdek and Rega Planars are from Scotland, coincidentally enough, so maybe 1 of those ? My system is good enough for me, even tho it's mis-matched All I care is that IT ROCKS (<- That's for Don) with a ton of watts, (400 per channel) and it's a clean sound and the speakers won't break or distort NO MATTER HOW LOUD I CRANK IT UP (<- That's for Don) and it was all REALLY CHEAP (<- That's for Don) The speakers are Klipsch Herresy ??? It's been sooooooooooooooooo long, I can't even remember anymore, but Klipsch I know for sure BUT I SCORED THEM (<- That's for Don) for $150.00 at the late great Marin City Flea Market or as some called it the Sausalito Flea Market where I 1st met probably the biggest musical influences in my life, Mickey McGowan.

With some screaming trumpets, laid back lounge melodies and a few vocals with Sammy Davis Jr, one of them a somewhat bossa-ish wordless vocalese. And for vocals the Anita O'Day/Billy May collaboration on Cole Porter songs is very nice. The cover of "Your the Top" was changed to mention and describe jazz musicians.

The is Exotica with a capital "E" ala Denny and Baxter. The lp starts off with bird calls and never lets go. You are on one of the best Exotica trips ever, listening to this. This is a solid lp and all tunes true Exotica. Milt Raskin thanks Dominic Frontiere for his asstitance. I believe the lp is from 1961 because there were some Christmas Seal stickeres on it dated 1961. Really this is one of the greatest Exotica lps up there sure to appeal to all lovers of true Exotica. * The Maledictus Sound: "Les Maledictus Sound" CD/LP, Mucho Gusto, Canada, 1999 | LP 180 gram HQ vinyl, Dagored RED 120, gatefold sleeve, Italy, 2000 Chuck: =8A spy jazz jams with psche crime show beats and chipmunk vocals with occasional screams. Totally psyched out late 60's grooves that are all over the place. Some whistling, some screams, some strings and lots of psyche guitar fuzzed out. Some of the music has a Morricone late 60's horror film feel. Some of the vocals are done Chipmunk Nutty Squirrel style that just adds to the wildness of this record. Generally the cuts are instrumentals This is an amazingly weird fun record. * Various Artists: "Beat Jazz. Pictures From The Gone World" LP/CD, Pesky Serpent PS 1001, USA, 199? Chuck: This is one beautiful collection of beat music, spoken word and crazed goofballed lyrics. Way out there selections of many unknown beat artists at their most primitive level spewing forth undergroud sounds and styles of a bygone era. No Zane or kitch here but straight ahead songs that ooze the beat feel! This is a fantastic selection of music. For me its the beat of this genre on one cd. * Elmer Bernstein: "I Love You, Alice B Toklas (+ Stanley Myers' "Kaleidoscope")" CD-R, Two Little Kooks, Germany, 2001 chuck: After years and years of loving it, the soundtrack to Alice B Toklas finally is released on cd!!! I can't recommend this soundtrack enough! Wonderful la la land now sounds with a super hook of a melody that has haunted my memory since it was released. The sitar is used to accentuate the melodies in a magical tasteful way. The 2 basic melodies are done over and over again in variety of hollywood hippie dippy styles. This cd was mastered from vinyl and it sounds fantastic! Though it does have a slight MP3 sound quality to the bass. Maybe it was the stylus used for the mastering. Whatever, the sound is crisp and clear compared to many big industry company's remasterings. The photo copy of the front and especially the back covers could by a little more professional. Kaleidoscope is a nice pairing with a few great cuts on it. My hats off to the Two Little Kooks label. goodbye, Chuck, may all the nice melodies linger on.

Should be an incredible release since I own both records and they are pretty difficult to find. "Omnibust" is my favorite because it has a "Quiet Village" parody called "I Search for Golden Adventure in My Seven Leaky Boots". Its a long track with an adventurer and his guide traveling through the jungle. In the background are sound effects and a version of "Quiet Village" as they make there way to the lost city of Mogambo (or something like that). I am not sure what label this is being released on I forget. Maybe the Collectables label? Anyway, this one is NOT to be missed!

He mentioned that it was a single, so maybe it wasn't released on any album. The track had weird tape effects. The arrangement included some long chords, which were speeded up and down to give a really crazy effect. It sounded a bit like something Raymond Scott may have done. Unfortunately I don't know the title of that track. I'd have to listen through tons of tapes to find the recording I made of it, but it surely was one of the weirdest big band pieces I ever heard.

Yep, I bought that one a couple of years ago. If you like tv themes it's certainly a nice comp. It has essential tracks like the themes from 'The Avengers' and 'Captain Scarlett' and 'Dr. Who'. As far as I know these are not all the original versions though. They are played by well known (British) easy favotires like Tony Hatch and Les Reed, which isn't a bad thing of course. So all in all a nice comp.

Surya, 48, the son of veteran actress Kasma Booty, was laid to rest at the Taman Melawati Muslim Cemetery. He leaves a wife Sabrina and three children – Jengsuri, 24, Yan, 19, and Fifi, 17. Surya had composed songs for popular singers like Sheila Majid, Azlina Aziz, Raja Ema, M. Rizal and Febians. One of his more memorable compositions is Pengemis Muda, popularised by Sheila Majid. He was last seen as one of the back-up musicians for the Konsert Melodi Emas Ahmad Nawab in September. Foot, chest painful and swollen ... after taking nutritional product for two days Dzulkarnain Taib 10 November 2002 THE family of the late musician-composer Surya Booty is contemplating taking legal action against the direct-selling company of a food-extract product which they believed partly contributed to his unexpected death recently. Surya, 48, son of legendary Malay silver screen actress Kasma Booty, died of complications due to diabetes at the Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, at 2am on Monday. His wife, Sabrina Hashim, said she had come to terms with his death but her children were unhappy with the circumstances surrounding it. “Yes, my children is pushing me to take legal action against the direct-selling company,” she said. “However, I would like the family to settle down first before thinking about our next move.” Surya’s daughter, Jeng Sury, is furious about the way the product was sold to her father without proper explanation. “My father’s diabetic condition was under control until he took the product,” she claimed. “He only took it for two days but stopped after his foot and chest became swollen and he experienced breathing difficulty. “His right toe was amputated two months ago, and the wound was healing well; but after he took the product, the area where the wound was began to swell, was reddish, and started discharging pus.” The product, which is in powder form, is to be taken twice daily, before breakfast and before bedtime. The product is an enzyme complex containing extracts of corn, wheat, pineapple, white bean, papaya, banana, seaweed, rice germ, tomato, pumpkin, burdock and formosanus vegetable. The product also claimed to contain carbohydrate, vitamins A and C, calcium and iron. An official of the company said the product was not registered with the Health Ministry as it comes under the food category. “We referred the product to the Ministry and they responded by saying that the product did not need to be registered as it is considered as food,” the official says. According to the official, the product which has been in the market for about two years, has gained wide public acceptance and is said to “enhance stamina and the immune system”. An official of the Food Quality Control unit of the Public Health Department explained that products not requiring registration by the Ministry must conform to the labelling and food content guidelines as stated in the Food Act 1983 and Food Rules 1985. Jeng Sury said her father bought the product from a salesman who came to the house last week. She said the salesman had said it was good for treating diabetes. She said Surya then called the salesman to complain of his body aches after taking the product but was told that such conditions were normal for the first few days. “In the hospital, my dad kept saying that he would sue the company,” Jeng Sury said. Sabrina said the family doctor, who works at the same hospital, had indicated that the product could have contributed to her husband’s death. “The doctor said there was too much of the substance in my husband’s body and his system could not handle it,” she said. The family doctor, who is also a long-time friend of Surya’s, told Sunday Mail that while the cause of Surya’s death was due to diabetic complications, he did not discount that the food-extract product could have been a contributing factor. “The fact is his condition got worse after taking the substance for two days. He had been suffering from diabetes for about 10 to 12 years but it had been under control all the while,” the doctor said. Jeng Sury added that the product had to be stirred with warm water before drinking as per instructions on the box. “My father took the product twice daily as stated on the box for two days. “When he discontinued taking it he said, ‘Orang makan nak buang penyakit, ini tambah penyakit (I took it to get cured but instead I’ve got more sick)’.” http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22surya+booty%22 -------------------- http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22Johnny+Griffith%22 http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=SEARCH&sql=Brauw6jah71t0 Motown Musician Johnny Griffith Dies at 66 Last Updated: November 10, 2002 07:11 PM ET DETROIT (Reuters) - Johnny Griffith, a classically trained musician who played keyboards on many Motown hits of the 1960s, died on Sunday at age 66, his publicist said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed. Griffith, a member of the Funk Brothers, played on such hits as the Supremes' "Stop in the Name of Love" and Marvin Gaye's "I Heard it through the Grapevine." He also toured with artists including Aretha Franklin, Sarah Vaughn and Dinah Washington. "Johnny was a superior musician and incredibly fluid on his instrument," the Funk Brothers said in a statement. "He was a large contributor to the Motown sound and to the group of musicians proudly known as the Funk Brothers. Artists who defined the Motown sound of the 1960s, which fused gospel, soul and pop, included Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and the Four Tops. Griffith had just appeared with the Funk Brothers on Thursday night at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. The performance was part of the premiere for the launch of "Standing in the Shadows of Motown," a new film that recognizes the achievements of the Funk Brothers. Griffith is survived by his wife, Delma Reid Griffith, and three children: Jonathan Jr., Beth and Rhonda. He is also survived by two step sons, Roman and Charlie Reid III, and two grandchildren, Ronnie and Shaynae. According to the http://www.allmusic.com Web site, Griffith also played on hit songs including Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" and the Chi-Lites' "Have You Seen Her," among many others.

And those older Duals sound and look great.

Nonetheless, I count myself as one of the lucky ones that were able to meet Chuck in person. Yet even after only that one short visit with him here, I can vouch that all that's been said of him from others that met him is true. For those that did not meet him in person, but corresponded with him, I can say that he was every bit as likeable, as happy, and as easy- going in person as you would have figured from his electronic self! I have to say we had a bit of a warning of what was to come, when the last exoticaring CD arrived from Chuck with a short note saying that he was sick again... but that he was doing fine. As Chuck was never one to complain, bring attention to himself, or in any way feel any form of self-pity, the mere mention of this was a sign that things were not good. I suppose if anything, it lessened the shock we felt when the news we feared would come finally arrived. I keep think of ways we can remember him... and I realize that thinking about him is probably the best way to keep his memory alive. Yes I know it is a bit early to think of commemoration and dedication, but with the network of people from the lists(s) and the variety of contacts, talents etc, of all involved, I think it would be nice if we could think in the future about some form of musical tribute recording, or some object that we can all have, and more importantly, all participate in the making of, that will help us remember. I don't know who could best coordinate this kind of project, but let's just think about it for now and see what comes of it. I know these things should not be rushed...

He had colon cancer. He was 71. The Clovers were one of the biggest acts in that early era of R&B and bridged the period between smoother pop groups such as the Ink Spots and the rise of rock-and-rollers, said Howell Begle, founder of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation in Washington. Mitchell was one of the last surviving members of the Clovers, which consisted of four singers and a guitarist. Only Harold Winley, who now sings with a successor to the original Ink Spots, survives. In the early 1950s, the Clovers were a powerhouse on rhythm-and-blues charts and helped transform Atlantic Records into one of the major R&B recording studios. The group had more than a dozen top-10 recordings, including "Don't You Know I Love You," "One Mint Julep," "Fool, Fool, Fool" and "Ting-A-Ling." http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22billy+mitchell%22+clovers http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=SEARCH&sql=Bm9508qxnbtc4 --------------------- http://www.evergreenmelodies.com/ I picked up that John Sidney, Tasmanian Easy Listening Pianist, may have died but no confirmation yet.

They would know it just from the song title, I'm sure. But my amateur guess is Del Shannon and I'm just guessing based on the part of the song where he does that high-voiced "Runaway" thing.

I have a copy of the Mirtle Billy May discography Lou Smith mentioned later on, and I found this about "The Floater," recorded October 11, 1956 (with an overdubbing "sweetener" session on Oct. 18): "'Floater' was an electronic effect - never had a chance to experiment further. Capitol's engineering department destroyed the machine we had developed for kiddie stuff!" - Billy May in letter dated September 22, 1992. The discography indicates it was recorded during the same sessions that produced the "Plays for Fancy Dancing" album, but was not included on it. It was released in the US only on a 45 (F3598), also on 45 in the UK and Australia. Otherwise, it only appeared on a UK LP (EMS1275) and cassette (TCEMS 1275) titled "The Capitol Years." Sounds like that might be it.

He was 66. The cause was cardiovascular disease, said Carl Gardner, the only surviving member of the original Coasters. The Coasters were among the first black singing groups to be considered truly a rock 'n' roll act, not rhythm-and-blues. They are best known for their string of narrative comic songs like "Yakety Yak" and "Charlie Brown," written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. When the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inducted its first members, in 1987, the Coasters were included. The group's doo-wop-inspired sound was characterized by the low tones of its bass, Bobby Nunn, and what MusicHound's Essential Album Guide for rock calls Mr. Gardner's "wolf-in-sheep's-clothing tenor." But it was Mr. Guy who was the exuberant lead singer on the 1957 song "Searchin'," which featured an "alley" piano style — essentially two bass notes played alternately on every second beat — and suitably rough vocal support from the rest of the group. Mr. Guy declares his determination to find his girl, even if it calls for the detective talents of Charlie Chan, Sam Spade and Bulldog Drummond — not to mention the Canadian Mounties. "This was one of the first songs to introduce specific figures from American culture into its lyrics," Charlie Gillett wrote in "The Sound of the City: The Rise of Rock and Roll" (Pantheon, 1984). Mr. Guy said in an interview with The Milwaukee Journal-Standard in 1998, "We had more fun than any other group." Mr. Guy was born in Itasca, Tex., on June 20, 1936. His birth certificate recorded that his parents were Frank Phillips and Sewille Thompson, but did not show his name, according to Vita Gardner, Carl Gardner's wife. By the time he found his way to Southern California, just as Mr. Gardner was looking for a baritone for a new group, his name was Billy Guy. Mr. Gardner and Mr. Nunn had been members of the rhythm-and-blues group the Robins, which recorded the Leiber and Stoller hits "Riot in Cell Block No. 9," "Framed" and "Smokey Joe's Cafe." But Mr. Leiber and Mr. Stoller's small record company was having trouble distributing their successful records and sold the company, Spark Records, to Atlantic. As part of the deal, they acquired the rights to the Robins, but the Robins objected to the deal. Mr. Gardner and Mr. Nunn left the Robins to form a new group in 1955. Mr. Gardner said he needed to a new voice fast, and found Mr. Guy singing in a duo called Bip and Bop. Leon Hughes was also recruited to become a Coaster, a name chosen to refer to the West Coast. The Coasters' first song was "Down in Mexico," which was similar to "Smokey Joe's Cafe." Neither it nor their next song, "One Kiss Led to Another," was particularly successful. Then in 1957, they recorded "Searchin' " and "Young Blood" on the same record, and both were hits. Then came extensive tours and appearances on a wide range of network television shows, including "The Ed Sullivan Show" and Dick Clark's "American Bandstand." Through the 1950's, they kept turning out hits, almost all written by Leiber and Stoller, including "Poison Ivy," "Framed," "I'm a Hog for You" and "That is Rock and Roll." Mr. Guy, who wrote several songs himself, including the group's hits "Wake Me Shake Me" and "Wild One," said the wackier songs like "Yakety Yak" could be done only by a special mix of voices like the Coasters.' "It was hard to find voices," he told the Milwaukee newspaper. "The songs were really based on country-western. Remember Homer and Jethro? Everyone had to be a specialist. It was black voices singing in the middle of rhythm-and-blues and country-western." His survivors include his companion, Vanessa Van Klyde; a sister; a brother; a son; and a daughter. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22billy+guy%22 ------------------- November 14, 2002 Billy Mitchell, Member of Doo-Wop Clovers, Dies at 71 By THE NEW YORK TIMES Billy Mitchell, a member of the 1950's doo-wop group the Clovers and the lead singer on "Love Potion No. 9" and other hits, died on Nov. 5 at a hospital in Washington, where he lived. He was 71. The cause was cancer, said his wife, Helen Gibbs Mitchell. The Clovers, founded in Washington in 1946, were one of the most popular and influential doo-wop groups, with more than a dozen hits from 1951 to 1959, including "Don't You Know I Love You?," "Blue Velvet," "Lovey Dovey," "Devil or Angel" and "Love, Love, Love." Like most of the R & B vocal groups of its era, the Clovers specialized in sweet harmonies and sentimental themes. But their songs stood out for their bluesy edge, with an occasional gritty vocal from Mr. Mitchell and electric guitar lines from Bill Harris. Among the songs on which Mr. Mitchell sang the lead were "Your Cash Ain't Nothin' but Trash," "All About You" and "Love Potion No. 9," a Lieber and Stoller song that was the group's last hit, in 1959. It reached No. 23 on both the R & B and pop charts, and in 1964 became a Top 10 pop hit for the English group the Searchers. Born in Washington in 1931, William Joseph Mitchell Jr. began his singing career early, joining the Joe Morris Blues Cavalcade when he was 17. He joined the Clovers in 1953, replacing Charlie White, who went on to a solo career. After "Love Potion," the hits dried up for the Clovers. Mr. Mitchell left the group in 1962 and worked at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington until his retirement, in 1992. The Clovers continued in various new configurations; the full quintet reunited just once, for a benefit, in 1988. Of the group's original members, only Harold Winley survives. In addition to his wife, Mr. Mitchell is survived by five children, William, Tracey, Robert, Victoria and Robin Mitchell, all of Washington; 11 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22billy+mitchell%22+clovers From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Thu Nov 14 16:14:09 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Jerry Butson) Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 16:14:09 -0000 Subject: [Exotica] mario bava's schock References: Message-ID: <005a01c28bf8$df176d80$1b0b78d5@oemcomputer> How's that licensing project going, Col? fleamusic 21 high street witney oxfordshire ox29 4he uk tel/fax: +44 (0) 1865 883671 cell: +44 (0) 7939 228435 music clearance, licensing, research, compilation, administration ----- Original Message ----- From: "Exploitika Radio" To: Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 5:59 PM Subject: Re: [Exotica] mario bava's schock > > also in the soudntrack section they had the ost for mario bava's schock. > > the music is done by libra. it was pretty cheap. does anyone have any > > comments on this? is it worth going back for? > > Oh yeah!

Details when I find them. -Lou on-line bio: Sir Roland Hanna (piano) was born in Detroit, Michigan on February 2, 1932. Mr. Hanna's father was a preacher in a sanctified church, where he was first exposed to rhythm and blues-tinged music. He was later influenced by fellow Detroit piano legend Tommy Flanagan. Mr. Hanna studied at the Eastman and Juilliard Schools. Mr. Hanna performed with Benny Goodman's band in its first appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958. In 1967, Mr. Hanna took over the piano chair in the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. Mr. Hanna was knighted by the late President of Liberia, William Tubman, for his humanitarian interests and the furtherance of the educations of young Africans, in 1970. Mr. Hanna has worked with Sarah Vaughan, Charles Mingus, and the New York Jazz Quartet. Mr. Hanna has performed, toured, and recorded with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra on numerous occasions, and given a solo piano concert in January 1999.

He was 70 and lived in Liberty, N.Y. The cause was a viral infection of the heart, his family said. Mr. Hanna was, as John S. Wilson of The New York Times said in 1985, "an impeccably polished performer" who was "as much at home in turn-of-the-century ragtime as he is in the works of John Coltrane." Nor were his influences limited to jazz: his harmonically complex improvisations were also informed by his extensive classical training. "Classical music has always been a driving force for me," he told Zan Stewart of The Los Angeles Times in 1988, "but jazz is my natural music." Ultimately, Mr. Hanna said, his goal was the obliteration of musical boundaries. "For the average person, music is separated into categories, but not for me," he said in the same interview. "To me, music is food, and I don't have to say `These are apples and these are pears.' I can say `This is music and it tastes good.' " Mr. Hanna's open-minded approach led to work with bandleaders ranging in approach from the traditional swing of Benny Goodman to the freewheeling modernism of Charles Mingus. His grasp of jazz history led to work in the late 1980's and early 90's with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, the leading exponents of the jazz repertory movement, and to a tour as a solo pianist with the Smithsonian Institution's traveling Duke Ellington exhibition in 1999. In his later years he focused on composing chamber and orchestral works, including some pieces he performed with a chamber trio in which he played cello. In 1993 he was the guest piano soloist when the Detroit Symphony performed his composition "Oasis." That concert was, among other things, a triumphant homecoming. Roland Pembroke Hanna was born in Detroit on Feb. 10, 1932, and was considered one of the leading exponents — along with Tommy Flanagan, Hank Jones and Barry Harris — of the so-called Detroit school of jazz piano, a style that combined the dexterity and harmonic sophistication of bebop with the understated elegance of an earlier era. Mr. Hanna left Detroit in 1955, when he moved to New York to enroll at the Juilliard School. (He had briefly studied at the Eastman School of Music two years earlier, but left because he felt his interest in jazz was being stifled.) He had begun studying piano at age 11 and was introduced to jazz in high school by Flanagan. "He sort of made it seem like I could do it too, so I jumped in," Mr. Hanna said. Mr. Hanna once named Mr. Flanagan, who died last year, as one of his three greatest pianistic influences, along with Art Tatum and Artur Rubinstein. It took Mr. Hanna some time to graduate from Juilliard because he kept taking sabbaticals to work — with Goodman, Mingus, Coleman Hawkins and others — but he finally received his degree in 1960. >From 1963 through 1966 he frequently led a trio at the Five Spot in New York, and he worked steadily in the 1960's and 70's with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, which he joined in 1966, and with the New York Jazz Quartet, featuring the saxophonist and flutist Frank Wess, which Mr. Hanna formed in 1974. His main income, however, came from teaching. He taught at Eastman, the Manhattan School of Music, the New School and Queens College. He also continued playing in jazz clubs and at festivals, and was especially popular in Japan, where he became ill about three weeks ago. Mr. Hanna is survived by his wife of 48 years, the former Ramona Woodard; two sons, Michael and Christopher; two daughters, Cheryl and Cheri; six grandchildren; two sisters, Winifred Wells and Ethel Brown; and three brothers, Leonard, Elisha and Lagorce. For the last three decades Mr. Hanna insisted on being billed as Sir Roland Hanna. As he explained, the "Sir" was not an affectation or a casually bestowed title like Duke or Count. He was knighted by the government of Liberia in 1970, in recognition of benefit concerts he had given there. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22roland+hanna%22 http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=SEARCH&sql=Brqkqikc6bbf9 From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Fri Nov 15 18:19:53 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (exotica@mailman.xmission.com) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 13:19:53 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] Congress Approves Web Radio Royalty Deal Message-ID: November 15, 2002 Congress Approves Web Radio Royalty Deal By REUTERS Filed at 1:07 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress approved a deal early Friday morning that would allow small Internet-based radio stations to pay lower royalty rates to the musicians and record labels whose songs they use. In a late-night session, both the House of Representatives and the Senate passed a bill that would give copyright holders and ``Webcasters,'' who stream radio-style broadcasts over the Internet, authority to set royalty rates depending on whether the operator was a large commercial operation, a hobbyist or a noncommercial station. Small Webcasters had protested that a flat per-song rate set by the Library of Congress in June would force many of them to shut down because it would require them to pay more than they took in from advertising or other sources. Small stations worked out a deal with record labels and musicians last month that would have allowed them to pay a flat annual fee or a percentage of their revenues rather than the per-song rate. The House approved the deal, but it stalled in the Senate after religious broadcasters objected. The revised bill removes any mention of specific rates, instead giving Webcasters and copyright holders the authority to set rates on their own. Sources involved in the negotiations said the bill would not affect large Webcasters, such as Yahoo! (YHOO.O) or America Online (AOL.N), which will continue to make payments based on the established rate of roughly 1 cent per hour for each listener. Smaller Webcasters who cannot afford such payments will be able to pay an annual fee of no more than $2,500, or a percentage of their revenues. Noncommercial broadcasters -- such as college or religious stations -- will have six months to work out a payment plan of their own with copyright holders. ``For artists it's a great thing because it enables small Webcasters to continue to broadcast our members' work,'' said Ann Chaitovitz, who represented musicians during the negotiations. Other parties were not immediately available for comment.

I just wanted to see if anyone here had any suggestions about new things to do/see ... particularly stuff with an "exotic" feel. We were there in the year 2000 and we have seen the Enchanted Tiki Room in the "remixed" version ("Under New Management"). It was fun but I understand I am missing something since I have never seen the original version (but have some of the music from it). I have read on certain webpages that the Main Street Electrical Parade has now been replaced with a new parade called Spectromagic. Did anyone see this? Is the music and the show anything close to the old parade (I doubt that)? I have also heard that some attractions are risking to be shut down and certain places (restaurants etc.) have already been shut down; this is because of the decreased number of visitors (Disney seems still suffering heavily for the post 9-11 crisis). whew I have just written one whole mail in here and not even a gratuitous plug for a record or a mp3 site! ;) later, Nicola DjB From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Sat Nov 16 00:10:01 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Paul Penna) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 16:10:01 -0800 Subject: [Exotica] Big Fat Brass BILLY MAY ORCHESTRA Message-ID: This didn't show up in the last digest I got, so I'm sending it again: Marco wrote: >I remember a Billy May track Piet Schreuders once played on his radio show >here in the Netherlands.

I have a copy of the Mirtle Billy May discography Lou Smith mentioned later on, and I found this about "The Floater," recorded October 11, 1956 (with an overdubbing "sweetener" session on Oct. 18): "'Floater' was an electronic effect - never had a chance to experiment further. Capitol's engineering department destroyed the machine we had developed for kiddie stuff!" - Billy May in letter dated September 22, 1992. The discography indicates it was recorded during the same sessions that produced the "Plays for Fancy Dancing" album, but was not included on it. It was released in the US only on a 45 (F3598), also on 45 in the UK and Australia. Otherwise, it only appeared on a UK LP (EMS1275) and cassette (TCEMS 1275) titled "The Capitol Years." Sounds like that might be it.

The person that supplied the list to me, Michael Greenberg, did indeed include those. I can't remember why I left them off. Pand P are hard to sniff out too. I only have 5 of the 45s listed there and I've been looking for awhile. Tonight You Belong to Me is a no brainer and Gonna Get You Now is easy too but after that, it's tough.

Does anybody here have a record on Liberty called Happy Pierre in Hi-Fi? That's Mark McIntyre. This next part I'm foggy on because I lost his email (michael, if you are reading, come to my rescue), but I recall a connection between Mark, Ross Bagdasarian and Harry and Alf.

The only part I could see of him after he sat down at the keyboard. The concert opened with my favorite Mendes track, "Pretty World". Followed by an upbeat Calypso-ish number called "Balafon". With Bill Brendle using 2 keyboards and Mendes on a Motif 8 the concert was heavy on the synthesizers. Evident on the next 2 numbers, "Lua Soberana" and "Holographic Olden". After playing "Corcovado" Mendes gave his only, and brief, speech. Mentioned he came from only a few hours away (Connecticut?) He talked about the legendary concert at Carnegie Hall that introduced the Bossa Nova to the US, and Yardbird Parker. Mendes finished his talk with "Lets go back to the Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 days". We were all happy to hear that, and they launched into "Desafinado", "Waters of March" and "One Note Samba" with a "Spanish Flea" riff. Slightly synched but still magical. Gracinha Leporace took a solo with "Anos Dourados". Mendes sang solo on Ela e Carioca. The songs then branched into more Braseliero rhythms, Mendes mentioned he wanted to feature some of the many sounds of Brazil, on "Casa Forte" and "Zanibar" then returning to a more 60'ish "Felicidade". Medez and the ladies then took a break to allow a heavily braided Meia Noite a chance to feature his percussion chops. He played an instrument that looked like a bow (As in a bow in arrow) with a gourd at the bottom. Cymbals, drums (think little drummer box) and cow bells that he would hit with a stick. Noite got the audience to clap along to the established beat, which he turned into a game of "Simon says", Noite skipping beats and the audience losing the game. Funny guy and he never said a word. Surprised he didn't break his hand on the tambourine solo. It had a very deep sound and I swore the drummer was banging along but nobody could follow that solo. The whole band back together again for "Viramundo Solo", "Viramundo/ Magaenta" and then more "66 sounds with "The Look of Love" and "Fool on the Hill". His still wonderful version. The more Brazilian "Abusou and Lapinha" with the lovely Jessica Taylor shaking her booty to the point where some of us stale New Englanders finally got up to do some moving' and grooving'. We dig the music a lot, we just don't dance. About the ladies. The elegant Gracinha Leporace could have been Janis Hansen. She was about the same age. Jessica Taylor was definitely cast from the same mold as Janis Hansen and Lani Hall. LAte 20's. Skinny, long blonde curly hair, belly button ring, turquoise blouse and painted on leather bell-bottom pants. When we heard her name was Jessica you could not help but think Jessica Rabbit. A hit with all the dirty old, and slightly younger, men in the audience. A fellow near me, Jack Delaney, took lots of pictures that he promised he would send to me along with his brother's jazz CDs. Will post them! Pardon the posts about the booty, but it was blocking my view of Mr. Mendes for the entire concert. Had a better view of the Charles River out the window. We were seated just to the right of the stage next to the keyboards and the congas. My friend Vizma, just to my left, told me Mendes seemed bored during the concert. Every one in a while he would look up from the keyboards and smile at the audience. A smile that seemed to say "Oh! I'm at a concert. Better put on a show". My wife Carol, on my left, said that Mendes looked tired. It is always a good idea to get tickets for a 2nd night engagement when the artists are rested up. Still it was a high energy show. The young musicians made up for Mendes's low-key approach. The encore, a rousing, "Mas Que Nada". A really wonderful concert, A surprise to hear so much retro '66 seeing that Mendes has moved on. He struck a nice balance and hearing "Fool on the Hill" was incredible. Carol, Janis, Vizma, Mark and Datza. Had a great evening! And thank you Datza for sneaking up to the keyboards and writing down the playlist.

He was 72. Berry performed in the Big Bands of Herman and Maynard Ferguson before joining Ellington's band for a three-year stint in 1961. Ellington had a profound influence on Berry, who went on to play and teach his music in a career that spanned more than 50 years. Berry also was musical director for several years of the Monterey Jazz Festival. Born William Richard ``Bill'' Berry in Benton Harbor, Mich., he spent his early years traveling with his parents who were on the road in bands. By age 5, he could play the piano. He later turned to the trumpet and traveled through the Midwest before serving four years in the U.S. Air Force. Berry studied at the Cincinnati College of Music and attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. He later played with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis orchestra and led his own New York Big Band. He joined Merv Griffin's television show in 1965 and was featured on the show for the next 15 years. In 1999, he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Berklee. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=SEARCH&sql=B6gjveau04xk7 ============================== Jack Solomon LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jack Solomon, an Academy Award winner for sound for the movie ``Hello, Dolly!'' in 1969, died Nov. 8 of complications following heart surgery. He was 89. A six-time Oscar nominee, Solomon elevated sound mixing to an art form during his 50-year career, working on more than 60 films, including ``The Graduate'' in 1967 and the 1976 remake of ``King Kong.'' His win for Barbra Streisand's film version of the popular musical ``Hello, Dolly!'' marked the first time an individual had received an Oscar for sound. The statuette had previously been given to the studio that produced the winning film. Solomon shared the award with Murray Spivack. Solomon worked on several Streisand movies, including ``Funny Girl,'' ``The Way We Were'' and ``Funny Lady.'' Earlier in his career, Solomon worked with Frank Sinatra in ``The Man with the Golden Arm'' and ``Four for Texas.'' He worked on the 1992 movie ``Patriot Games,'' starring Harrison Ford. Solomon received the Life Achievement Award from the Cinema Audio Society in 1992. http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=B166754 ==================== Comedian, Actor Eddie Bracken Dies Tony-Nominated Stage and Film Comedian Eddie Bracken Dies at Age 87 The Associated Press MONTCLAIR, N.J. Nov. 15 — Eddie Bracken, a Tony-nominated stage and film comedian who spent more than 70 years in show business, has died. He was 87. Bracken suffered complications from recent surgery and died Thursday at Mountainside Hospital, according to his daughter, Judy Bracken Gordon. Born and raised in New York, Bracken was best known for his roles in "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" and "Hail the Conquering Hero," both released in 1944 and directed by Preston Sturges. His start in showbiz came at age 9, when he appeared in "Kiddie Troupers," a New York rival of the "Our Gang" comedies. After moving to Hollywood in 1940, Bracken signed with Paramount. His female co-stars included Betty Hutton, Dorothy Lamour and Veronica Lake. Bracken moved back to New York in the 1950s and earned a Tony nomination for his co-starring role in "Hello, Dolly," with Carol Channing. He also originated the role of Archie in "Shinbone Alley" with Eartha Kitt. In the 1970s, Bracken settled in New Jersey. He was active at The Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, where he was honored last year for his role in "Carousel." In 1983, Bracken played Mr. Wally in "National Lampoon's Vacation" with Chevy Chase. Bracken is survived by five children, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Constance Bracken died in August. The couple was married for 63 years. November 16, 2002 Eddie Bracken, Who Acted in Sturges Comedies, Dies at 87 By RICHARD SEVERO,NYTimes ddie Bracken, a character actor whose portrayals of bewildered and long-suffering comic heroes crowned a stage, screen and television career of more than 70 years, died Thursday in Montclair, N.J. He was 87 and lived in Glen Ridge, N.J. Mr. Bracken made his first major screen splash in 1940's comedies by Preston Sturges, and he remained active until recently. Besides appearances in various television series, he was most widely seen as Mr. Wally, the proprietor of the Disneyland-like Wally World in "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983) and as E. F. Duncan, the proprietor of a large Manhattan toy store in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" (1992). Mr. Bracken, who grew up in Astoria, Queens, began as a child actor in the 1920's, but he did not really come into his own until the early 1940's when he made several light comedies in Hollywood, including "Caught in the Draft" with Bob Hope in 1941 and "Sweater Girl" with June Preisser that same year. Years later, John Corry, writing in The New York Times, called him "the embodiment of the warm, vulnerable young American." Perhaps his strongest roles in that era were in two stand-out Sturges films of 1944, "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" with Betty Hutton and "Hail the Conquering Hero." In "Hero," Sturges cast him as a young man rejected by the Marines because of his hay fever, but who, through confusion and misunderstanding, is welcomed back to his home town as a war hero. It was the kind of situation that had been exploited so effectively in the silent film era by Harold Lloyd, a comedian Mr. Bracken greatly admired. In the decades ahead, Mr. Bracken continued acting onstage and in the movies and moved into television as well, appearing in several shows, most notably "Masquerade Party" on NBC in the 1950's. He also headed his own production company and invested in an electronics company in Chicago and in Downey's, long a popular steak house in Manhattan's theater district. Not all of his investments panned out. In the early 1970's he tried to create a circuit of winter and summer stock theaters, but the plan foundered. Mr. Bracken was married for 63 years to Connie Nickerson, an actress he met when they were in the same road company. She died in August. He is survived by their children, Judy, Carolyn, Michael, Susan and David, and by nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Edward Vincent Bracken was born Feb. 7, 1915, in New York City, one of three sons of Joseph L. and Catherine Bracken. What his parents did for a living is not entirely clear, but apparently they were in sales and worked hard for little return. Although there was no money for the music lessons he wanted, Eddie continued to find ways to entertain. He sang a solo in a nursery school production and also performed at functions given by the Knights of Columbus around New York. As a youngster, he won a contract to appear with the American Sound Studio's Kiddie Troupers by singing "I Wonder What's Become of Sally." The troupers were the New York counterpart of Hal Roach's "Our Gang" children in Hollywood. Mr. Bracken went to Hollywood while still young, hoping to do great things for Mr. Roach, but quickly returned to New York, where his parents decided to send him to the New York City Professional Children's School for Actors. In 1933 he got a part in the New York stage production of the comedy "The Lady Refuses." The play closed after only seven performances, but based on his work he was picked for a part in H. S. Smith's 1843 morality play "The Drunkard or the Fallen Saved," which lasted for 10 months. His first big break came in 1936 when George Abbott, the director and producer, asked him to be in "Brother Rat," a comedy about life at Virginia Military Institute. The next year he won a subordinate role in Clifford Goldsmith's "What a Life," the play that introduced the hapless teenager Henry Aldrich to the world. In 1939 Mr. Abbott picked him to be in "Too Many Girls," a Rodgers and Hart musical in which he introduced the ballad "I Didn't Know What Time It Was." A year later he was cast in the movie version. Although he derived considerable fame and income from the movies, he loved repertory theater and spent years starring in revivals and in touring company offerings of productions that had been successful on Broadway. In the 1950's he was Tom Ewell's replacement in the road show version of "The Seven Year Itch"; in the 1960's he took Art Carney's role in "The Odd Couple." In the 1970's he joined Carol Channing on tour in "Hello, Dolly!" and in the 1980's he played the devil (Mr. Applegate), the role Ray Walston had made famous in "Damn Yankees." "I'm the theater's No. 1 takeover guy for everybody," he said in an interview with The Associated Press in 1966. "It's a great compliment to be asked to replace such a variety of performers." He said that he didn't mind long tours and claimed that to the best of his knowledge he had played the road more than any other American actor then living. "I'm only tired until the curtain goes up," he said. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=eddie+bracken http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=B7894 ===================== From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Mon Nov 18 15:11:17 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Jerry Butson) Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 15:11:17 -0000 Subject: [Exotica] Fanderson discography References: Message-ID: <000a01c28f14$c13ccb60$832401d5@oemcomputer> It already is, Carl, at: http://store.aetv.com/html/culttv/c02.jhtml?id=cat20028&browseCategoryId=128 5 The e-mail below refers to the Fanderson soundtrack... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl Howard" To: Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 2:47 PM Subject: Re: [Exotica] Fanderson discography > > Just received word back from Fanderson: > > > > "You'll be sure to hear about the release of the UFO soundtrack album, just > > as soon as we have a release date!

Someone said they thought they were kind of a Taco-cum-lately, but while I see the point, I don't really agree with it. I have seen the website and there is a good number of CDs available. It looks like the arrangement they have made, links each CD in their online "shop" to amazon.de. By the way, I've heard two versions of "Sex Bomb," one done in a more late-disco style than the other. What saves Raabe and Orchester from being just a Taco clone is they also cover German drinking-type songs and dance-hall type songs, but some of the songs are very odd. One of these that I know, anyway, translates to "My Little Green Cactus." -- BEHOLD! You have been communicated with.

As far as I know Taco was/were a pre-fab studio production, whereas the Palast Orchester is fully fledged orchestra. And a good one at that! There's certainly a novelty angle to the stuff they do, but their renditions of 20s and 30s popular German music show a lot of respect for the original material (however fun its content may be). They've also done a wonderful album of Kurt Weill material a couple of years ago. In a way they are the German counterpart to Holland's Beau Hunks.

I mean, sure, retro yes, slicked back hair yes, doing SOME covers with a modern sensibility yes, but that really is the end of the comparison. Not to mention that Taco was a one-shot novelty act, and yes, a studio producer's creation. Good comparison to the Beau Hunks, by the way. -- BEHOLD! You have been communicated with.

DjB LES REED - GIRL ON A MOTORCYCLE - O.S.T. - Gatefold LP 180 gram - RED 108 Back in 1968 “Girl On A Motorcycle” was regarded as a seriously risque movie - thanx to the image of Marianne Faithfull clad only in a fur lined one-piece zip-up leather bikers outfit. The basic plot line of a straight housewife - played by Marianne - reverting back to her wild lifestyle and lover (Alain Delon) barely does justice to this pivotal movie. “Girl On A Motorcycle” was also notable for the brilliant soundtrack composed and arranged by Les Reed - then at the height of his profession, having written hits for Lulu, Tom Jones, Englebert and many more. Les Reed devised a suitably enigmatic and diverse score, with a groovy Hammond driven opening title theme, incidental ambient noises, and lush string pieces backed by a strong beat - plus generous helpings of roaring motorcycle engines. After the film, Les added lyrics to three pieces which were sung by Cleo Laine and French chanteuse Mireille Mathieu (giving her a French hit), and added here as bonus cuts. The cover is the one of the original UK version, and enclosed you’ll find the reproduction of the original poster.

The Wizzz comp is on the french label "musiques-hybrides" (http://www.musiques-hybrides.com). They used to have a translation of the whole booklet on their website. "Used to" because i just checked and i didn't find it anymore...maybe you can ask them via email.. As for L'Oeil there's not that much info in the booklet. I think i'll be able to do the job myself. So here we go: "L'Oeil is a studio creation. His tribute to Bernadette Soubirous is quite surprising. The Drum breaks and the omnipresent organ are just fantastic. The song is again by Bob Du Pac (cf "les Filles C'est fait..." by Charlotte Leslie"). Like Pierre Delanoé, Claude Rhigi or Delancray, Bob Du Pac is in the small circle of successful songwriters that production companies fight over in the late 60s. "Bernadette" lyrics are from Franck Aldo. There's unfortunately no more information on this band of which it is the one and only 45." Voila!

WORTH,NYTimes James Coburn, the rugged actor who reveled in playing rakish men of action and slyly humorous villains and overcame a debilitating illness to win an Academy Award for his performance in "Affliction" in 1998, died yesterday in Los Angeles. He was 74. A spokeswoman for Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles said Mr. Coburn was in cardiac arrest when he arrived there. A man of lean, flinty good looks, Mr. Coburn first established his reputation in "The Magnificent Seven" in 1960 and went on to star in more than 80 movies, many of them Westerns and action films, including "The Great Escape," "Charade," and "Our Man Flint." His lanky body and Mephistophelean laugh led directors to type him as a villain, and though he became well known for those roles, he never made it to the front rank of Hollywood stars. In the early 1980's, he developed rheumatoid arthritis so severe that it hampered his career for most of a decade. After a long and difficult recovery, he appeared in television commercials and in some films his admirers felt were beneath him. But in 1999, he received an Academy Award as best supporting actor for his role as Nick Nolte's alcoholic father in Paul Schrader's acclaimed film "Affliction." Although many critics hailed it as the best performance of his career, he found it difficult to find work afterward. Mr. Coburn was born in Laurel, Neb., the son of an auto mechanic and schoolteacher, and grew up in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton. He made his stage debut at the La Jolla Playhouse opposite Vincent Price in "Billy Budd." He moved to New York City in the mid-1950's to study acting with Stella Adler. He made his film debut as an outlaw in a Randolph Scott Western, "Ride Lonesome," in 1959. By that time he was a veteran of the genre, having done at least 40 television shows, most of them Westerns. He appeared in another Western, "Face of a Fugitive," the same year. But it was his role as the knife-throwing Britt in "The Magnificent Seven" that first put him on the map. He had few lines, but his gaunt physique and bass-baritone voice had a powerful impact. Soon he was playing in Sam Peckinpah Westerns, including "Major Dundee" and "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid." He continued to play mostly supporting roles until the crime drama "Dead Heat in a Merry Go Round" (1966). His fame reached a new level with his portrayal of Derek Flint in the James Bond spoof "Our Man Flint" (1966) and its sequel in the following year, "In Like Flint." In 1967 he starred in "The President's Analyst," a satire he also produced. His marriage to Beverly Kelly ended in divorce. He is survived by his wife, Paula Murad, two children, Lisa and James Jr., and two grandchildren. http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=B195536 http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22james+coburn%22 From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Tue Nov 19 15:09:56 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Clayton Black) Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 11:09:56 -0400 Subject: [Exotica] [obit] James Coburn In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <111682.1037704196@wc-37-49.washcoll.edu> I still get him confused with Lee Marvin, but either way, man, what a loss.

Timothy Martin Nov. 19, 2002 | For the noncommercial Web broadcasting community, mostly composed of politically left-leaning independent and college radio stations, an unlikely ally has emerged to help in their fight against potentially crippling royalty payments. He is Jesse Helms, the Republican senator from North Carolina, and while his actions may very well be motivated by the interests of small conservative Christian Internet broadcasters, his support for the Small Webcasters Settlement Act (SWSA) has compelled some noncommercial station backers to feel for him what they never imagined they could -- gratitude. ============================ -Indy From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Tue Nov 19 20:50:51 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (oro) Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 15:50:51 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] Korla Pandit Message-ID: <003001c2900d$5a0d7080$6401020a@laoffice> I'd actually sent this out to the list the other day from the wrong e-mail address. duh.

Nice interview. Too bad I missed the audio version on a few hours ago, but was listening to "Aria" by Paul Schwartz Its groups like Gotan Project that keep me looking through the electronica scene. Sometimes it can be a little monotonous but that tango hook and the changes distinguish it from the chill out-new age crap out now. There is a track by them on a CD called "Rewind!" A version of "Round Midnight". Worth a listen. Tango can now be considered classical music. And classical music hybids are great. The Barry 7 has a nice remake of Carl Orff's Oacum from Carmina Burana. A friend lent me the 2 Aria CD's by Paul Schwartz.

Worth a listen. was just about to mention this compilation. lots of nice tracks on it, although the liner notes are rubbish and the their concept is a little confused (is supposed to be covers of 'classic' tracks but half of them are modern remixes of old covers). it's a bit late in the year, but there's a nice summery brazilian carnival style remix of Ella Fitzgerald's 'Sunshine of Your Love' by Rockers Hi-fi. the Gotan track is a remix of Chet Baker's 'Round Midnight', and they add some accordian which fits well with the late-night trumpet of the original. there's also the 80's Shinehead reggae cover of 'Billie Jean' which bizarrely starts out as 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly', but after years of listening to the weird world of reggae nothing surprises me anymore... and talking of which, the latest comp from Soul Jazz records ('Studio One Scorchers') of instrumental reggae tracks is excellent. there's an awesome 12" re-edit of the Skatalites 'Cleopatra', but more interestingly there's the Lester Sterling cover of Bert Kaempfert's 'Afrikaan Beat', later used to back Barrington Levy's classic 'Under Mi Sensi' (among hundreds of others). interesting where things end up...

Ubiquity records (the comp). the Shinehead track itself was a 7" on Hawkeye, it's been repressed but seems to sell out quickly every time. i'd been after it for a while too. it's also on one of the 'All Back to Mine' compilations (the Faithless one) i think. to go even more off-topic the Pressure Sounds (#35 'Firehouse Revolution') comp of 80s digital productions from King Tubby's Firehouse label is very good, and from a period that's been neglected re-issue wise (there's countless barrel scraping 70s roots and dub compilations). some singers, some deejays, and some instrumental versions - the whole thing has quite a nice light touch on many tracks (although with heavy sub-bass of course!) > (ps Michael I've been to check for more copies of Eden Ahbez, but no > luck yet). oh well. thanks for looking!

(the correct spelling is "dervishes") I'm coveting these in a big way. The only LP I have that comes close to this type of thing is "Chimera" by Gus Vali (Peters International, 1974). The most expensive record I ever bought. The subtitle is "A Fantasy in Jazz-Rock-Mid-East Sounds". Very psychedelic and trippy! *Really* hard to bellydance to. But very cool!

That's fair. It is true that I whipped off the comment without giving it the thorough consideration that I should have (though disrespect was certainly not intended). I suppose my thinking was that his was a face that was almost ubiquitous in the films when I was young, but in my memory, his face blends with that of Lee Marvin, who also seemed ubiquitous (and who I did not know was dead because I don't pay much attention to actors, obviously. So yes, I guess I shouldn't have said anything at all, since I'm not really a follower of Hollywood personalities and don't think about them beyond their appearance on the screen.) My expression "what a loss," while clearly inadequate and, apparently, disrespectful, was meant as a lament over the disappearance of yet another of the faces from the images of my youth.

GREENE, STAFF WRITER Michael Stewart, two-time Grammy nominee who lead the popular 1960s folk-rock group We Five and produced Billy Joel's breakthrough "Piano Man' album, died Wednesday at age 57 after a long illness. Stewart grew up in Claremont and attended St. Joseph's Elementary School in Pomona, Pomona Catholic Boys' High School in La Verne, Mt. San Antonio Junior College and the University of San Francisco. "He was the first guy to really do a good job producing my songs,' Billy Joel said Thursday. "Michael was a very sweet human being, a wonderful man who loved music.' Born in Riverside in 1945, Stewart's family made their way first to Pasadena, then to the Inland Valley where the budding musician, songwriter and arranger completed grammar school at St. Joseph's. His high intelligence was recognized early on when he achieved the highest IQ score in his 7th grade class. When Stewart graduated in 1963 from Pomona Catholic Boys, later to become Damien High School, his musical career was already well under way. Along with his friend and classmate Jerry Burgan, Stewart formed The Ridgerunners folk music group, which played regularly at The Meeting Place, a folk music club in Upland. The quintet, recognized for its original and complex harmonies, changed its name to We Five in early 1965 when playing at the Hungry i, a San Francisco club. It was there the group was discovered by the record industry. Later that year, We Five released its blockbuster song, "You Were on My Mind' - which reached No. 1 in Cashbox and No. 2 on Billboard's hits list. "`You Were on My Mind' is still one of our biggest songs,' KEARTH 101 radio disc jockey "Shotgun Tom' Kelly said Thursday. We Five earned a Best New Group Grammy nomination in 1965 for the song. The quintet's original sound represented a transition between the folk music era and folk-influenced groups such as The Byrds and The Mamas and Papas. However, We Five's first album, with its sophisticated vocal arrangements, daringly explored jazz and showtunes as well as folk and folk-rock. "He had a great sense of arranging,' Burgan said of his former partner. "He was one of the few creative geniuses I've known in my life.' The original We Five contributed one more Top 40 hit, "Let's Get Together,' in 1966. Stewart eventually moved into record producing. In addition to Billy Joel's double platinum "Piano Man' album, he produced more than 20 albums and singles for such artists as Tom Jones, Kenny Rankin and Amad Jamal. Always on the cutting edge, Stewart moved into the world of digital music, educating himself in computer programming. He designed systems for Digidesigns of Daly City and Adobe. His technological creations, used daily by musicians and arrangers, include the Session8 Digital Audio Workstation for PC, the Impulse Drum Trigger, and the Human Clock, which instructs computerized musical devices to follow a human tempo. Through music and technology, Stewart touched the lives of many people, Stewart's son James said. "He had something that related to so many people in such a deep way,' he said. Stewart's older brother John also achieved fame in music, first as a member of the Kingston Trio, then as a solo artist. Stewart is survived by his wife Kate and three children, James, Molly, and Joseph. A memorial service and funeral is scheduled for noon Monday, Nov. 18 at the Chapel of the Chimes, 4701 Marysville Blvd., Sacramento. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Bdqkqikmkbb29 http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22michael+stewart%22+%22we+five%22 From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Thu Nov 21 05:00:53 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Brian Karasick) Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 00:00:53 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] Coburn Message-ID: <004201c2911a$fcfe59e0$2302a8c0@WorkGroup> Don Lonie wrote: > Sorry about this unnecessary reaction on my part but I'd just prefer that if > people are going to react to an obituary, that they actually say something > meaningful and personal.

Finally today... a varied and very international score of oddities to share: Lucien Hetu - Lucien Hetu joue Les Monkees (Plays The Monkees) Yes.. after Madame St. Onge this has to qualify as the second best of the Quebec home-grown oddity records. Lucien is a Quebec equivalent to the like of Klaus Wunderlich and his instrument of choice is also the organ. No moog here, but first rate cheese... AZ clued me into this one so I have him to thank! Hugo Strasser - Yesterday Vom Twist Zum Beat (From Twist to Beat) I probably mentioned before that while most of Hugo's records are very forgettable, a few of his beat tracks are truly inspired. His version of Indian Reservation is almost psychedelic in its sound, which is a far cry from what Paul Revere and the Raider had done, let alone Hugo himself, who is mostly known for his big band schlock This record is all beat twist, shake etc. so it is truly a keeper. Die Biene Maja und die Maus Alexander 3 A German kids records from a TV show I've never seen. Interesting quirky music behind the German speaking. And for added benefit the title song is played by none other than James Last! Not something we find too often over here in Canada... Various - La grande twist party A benefit of living in Quebec is we get the chance to find these kind of records, which as I discovered are even more difficult to find in France! Go figure.... Anyway, this one is a 10" and on Barclay, though most of the French twist comps I've found are on the very respected (and rarely reissued!) Vogue label. I passed up a really fun early 60's exercise record which was priceless. I would have got but it had some very audible gouges in it which spoiled the effect. I also passed on a copy of the Xaviera Hollander record which was made only in Canada, since I already have it. It has a rendition of the Beatles song 'Michelle' done from a hooker's perspective, which is the best thing about it. Most of the LP is her talking. I must say it felt good to leave the store with something after so many unsuccessful visits. I hope this is a good sign of what is to come!

I have a version of "Indian reservation" done 40's big band style by Stan Butcher. It's got loads of those deep "jungle drum" breaks that Ellington favoured for a while. Was Stan Butcher the one behind "Birds and Brass"? I also have a cash in on this theme called "Birds and Bras" which has a great cover but not much else going for it.

Yes, this issue has been confusing ebay bidders for a few years now. I once wrote a review of "The Golden Hour of Birds and Brass" on Pye/Golden Hour, an album I've seen go for $50 on ebay. The facts here may not be 100 percent accurate (for example, I now know there was another Rediffusion "Birds'n'Brass" LP), but here's what I unraveled: ~ There is some confusion over 'Birds and Brass'. There were actually two 'Birds and Brass'. Well, actually, one was called 'Birds and Brass', and the other was called 'Birds'n'Brass'. The one represented on this record is probably the inferior one, and the person behind it is Stan Butcher. The reason why there is interest in the Birds and Brass is probably a handful of tracks featured on the 1996 and 1997 'Inflight Entertainment' compilation CDs. This sound is exemplified by 'Sorta Soul', a superbly funky instrumental with catchy female scat vocals, which was featured on 'Further Inflight Entertainment'. However, the 'Birds'n'Brass' behind this record were a different group, masterminded by Keith Roberts, and recording on Charles Berman's hibrow UK budget label 'Rediffusion'. To my knowledge, they released just one LP, 1970's 'SOUNDSATIONAL'. I don't own this, but apparently it has many more tracks with that great beaty UK easy sound, including a cool version of 'American Woman'. Anyway, back to the more goofy and laidback pleasures of Stan Butcher's 'Birds and Brass', this LP is a Golden Hour production, meaning that 60 minutes worth of tracks are squeezed onto some poor quality vinyl, leading to slightly inferior sound quality. That said, there are some very enjoyable tracks hidden among the largely silly collection of songs. The first track, 'Birds meet brass' is a classic of its type - over-the-top scat vocals and a pantomime type backing. 'Sounds of Mars' is disappointingly dull, but 'Janie' is a very nice bossa instrumental. There are also some nice versions of 'somethin' stupid' and 'Mood indigo'. But there are also plenty of tracks I could have done without, such as 'chim chim cheree' and 'release me'. Overall, it's an interesting record to have if you see it in a charity shop, but I would advise against making the mistake of a few previous ebay shoppers and mistaking this for a record by the similar-sounding 'Birds'n'Brass'... ~ Next time I'll talk about the City of Westminster String Band instead.

Of course the comment was harmless. And though I've never confused a distinctive actor like Lee Marvin with anyone, I can understand how someone could. My objection was not to the concept of mixing up actors. My objection was to the glib and empty comment "What a loss". Especially after you've said "I was never quite sure if it was him or some other guy". You don't have to react to every obituary. If you're not affected by it, why say anything? And of course, I could have just let the comment go myself. But every once in a while, I have to react.

It was harmless and the person acknowledged the possibility of hyperbole in his comment, but Don brought up a good point. How much can a person who only maybe experienced the films as historical "documents", and then only after they were re-discovered circuitously, REALLY MISS someone like James Coburn? Or any of the other several hundred other people who's death gets acknowledgement on this list? Its really more interesting at the time of their death to celebrate their output than mourn their loss IMHO. I never cared about or knew of at least 3/4 of the people mentioned but I was usually aware of the final product of their involvement. I guess what I'm saying is that their deaths usually make me feel more nostalgic than mournful.

He was 84. Among Mr. Kaye's songs were "Till the End of Time," written with Ted Mossman, which was based on a Polonaise by Chopin and was included in the 1945 film "A Song to Remember," about Chopin. When Como recorded the song, it became his first big hit, selling two million copies. It also became a hit for Les Brown, with Doris Day singing. Often collaborating with other songwriters, Mr. Kaye also wrote " `A' — You're Adorable (The Alphabet Song)," which became a No. 1 hit for Como and the Fontaine Sisters in 1949. Another of his successes was "Full Moon and Empty Arms," which was adapted from a theme in Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto and became a hit for Frank Sinatra in 1946. Other songs included "I'll Close My Eyes," which was recorded by Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerland and many others, and "Little by Little" and "All Cried Out," hits for Dusty Springfield. He was the co-writer of the theme song to the television show "I Dream of Jeannie" and produced a record of "The Little Prince," read by Richard Burton, which won a Grammy Award for best children's album in 1975. Born Jules Leonard Kaye in New York City in 1918, he is survived by his wife, Lillian; three children, Richard, Barbara and Ronnie; and three grandchildren. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22buddy+kaye%22 http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=SEARCH&sql=B81avqj1bojfa http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=BP161816 From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Sun Nov 24 16:54:51 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (cheryl) Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2002 11:54:51 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] Playlist For Space Bop, November 24 Message-ID: <002601c293da$34f329e0$2302a8c0@WorkGroup> Beyond kitsch, Space Bop is one hour of full galactical wonder, and can be heard every Sunday from 4 to 5 pm Eastern time (that's 9 to 10 pm in the UK, and 10 to 11 pm in most of the rest of Europe...) on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, Canada, and on RealAudio (real time only, for now) at: http://www.ckut.ca As usual, all comments, questions, and feedback welcome.

I have been known to confuse Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman. And I've confused Craig Wasson with lots of people. And when I saw that Brandon DeWild was singing for the Dead Kennedys, I thought he was Eddie Munster instead of the kid from The Courtship of Eddie's Father. The point of this discussion was not whether reasonable people can occasionally mix two people up. It was about how we respond to obituaries. I find that for the most part, people confuse one actor with another, for instance, when they've never paid particular attention to either actor or when they don't really follow movies that much in general. All I'm saying is that if you constantly confused one actor with another, then it's a fair assumption that neither actor ever made much of an impact on you. And therefore, when one of them dies, it's hard to imagine that you're really affected by their loss. I know this makes me a bit of a moralist but I just think that people shouldn't post a reaction to these obituaries unless they felt some kind of personal connection to the actor or musician or "personality" who died. And my position here has a lot to do with the nature of this particular list we're on. This is a place where people often talk about things with which they feel a strong personal connection, despite the fact that those things are often obscure or even unknown to the general public. Yes people out there in the world, confuse actors and musicians and entire musical genres, all the time. They say "it all sounds the same". But on this list, people often recognize and care about the differences and distinctions. So I guess that's why I think this is the wrong place for someone to react to an obituary the way someone might in "the outside world". I agree with, I think Jimmy, who said that these obituaries often make us feel more nostalgic than actually sad. I would be happy to read any reactions which contained personal memories, which spoke of a personal connection someone might have felt at one time, with the actor or musician in question. It's not necessary that you feel a great loss. If the obituary makes you feel anything and you have something personal to share, I think this is an appropriate place for that. I'm not offended by the notion that someone could have a hard time telling Lee Marvin from James Coburn. Or Dustin from Al. Or even Keitel from DeNiro. Or Martin Denny from Arthur Lyman for that matter. I just don't think an obituary is the appropriate time to voice such confusions. Particularly on a list like this.

WORTH,NYTimes Hadda Brooks, the smoky-voiced torch singer and pianist who was known in the 1940's as the Queen of the Boogie and came out of retirement in the late 1980's to gain new popularity with younger audiences, died on Thursday at 86. She died at White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles, a few weeks after undergoing open-heart surgery, said Russ Paul, her manager. Trained as a classical pianist, Ms. Brooks began recording boogie-woogie instrumentals in 1945 for Modern Records, which soon became the West Coast's premier rhythm-and-blues label. In the late 1940's and 50's she scored a number or hits as a torch singer, including "That's My Desire," "Trust in Me" and "Dream." She played singers in several films, and won a role singing to Humphrey Bogart in the film "Out of the Blue" after beating Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan in auditions. She toured with the Harlem Globetrotters, and in 1951 became the first black woman in the country to host her own television variety show. Born Hadda Hapgood in Los Angeles in 1916, she begged her father for piano lessons at the age of 4, and stretched her tiny hands on a board for a week until they could reach across an octave. She started out playing at rehearsals for a tap dance coach, Willie Covan, with clients like Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, Gene Kelly and Shirley Temple. Mr. Covan was friendly with the Globetrotters' players and in 1941 Ms. Brooks married another basketball player, Earl Morrison. He died a year later of pneumonia at 21. Early on in her career, she became close friends with Billie Holiday, whom she met in a nightclub ladies' room when Ms. Holiday reportedly opened the door to her stall and offered Ms. Brooks a puff on her marijuana cigarette. Ms. Brooks's big break came when a jukebox repairman named Jules Bihari overheard her playing a piano in a Los Angeles record store in the mid-1940's. He said he had only $800, but if she would work up a boogie in two weeks he would record it. She did, and the result, "Swinging the Boogie," became her first hit, in 1945. In the 1950's, she drifted into obscurity, singing and playing in Europe, Hawaii and Australia, and in 1971 she retired. But in 1987 she sang at a supper club in Los Angeles and drew rave reviews. By the mid-1990's, she had been discovered by the younger generation, and was playing in the actor Johnny Depp's Viper Room in Los Angeles, along with quieter locales like the Oak Room of New York's Algonquin Hotel. "Her voice, velvety and drenched with an after-hours smokiness, is familiar with deep emotions," wrote the critic Peter Watrous in The New York Times in 1989. In 1993, the Rhythm and Blues Foundation gave her its Prestigious Pioneer Award in a ceremony at the Hollywood Palace. In 1995, she recorded a new CD titled "Time Was When" for Virgin/Pointblank Records, which has also issued a new 50-year retrospective of her work, "I've Got News for You."

Oakland -- Old age couldn't keep Taswell Baird Jr. from his music. When he could no longer play the trombone, the beloved instrument on which he had accompanied some of jazz's greatest stars, he took up piano at age 79. But the music ended Friday when Baird, 80, succumbed to injuries suffered Nov. 5 when three attackers threw him from his wheelchair, beat him and robbed him of $80 outside his West Oakland retirement home. Alameda County coroner's officials said Baird's death is being investigated by police as a homicide, which would make him the 100th victim in Oakland this year. "These people preyed on old people. We've got to get these animals off the street," said Clifton Gibson, an employee at St. Mary's Gardens, the senior citizen complex on 10th Street where Baird had been a talkative and well-liked resident for 10 years. Baird, who played on recordings by Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker and Louis Armstrong, had been returning home from errands at a nearby supermarket in his motorized scooter around dusk when he was jumped by three men between 15 and 25 years old, his daughter, Meredith Baird, said she had been told by police. Baird had been followed to and from the store, then one robber threw Baird on the ground and beat him until a passer-by chased the attackers off, his daughter said. Coroner's officials referred calls on Baird's cause of death to Oakland police, who did not return calls for comment Saturday. "I'm deeply saddened and angry because I don't know why these youngsters would do this," said Meredith Baird, who lives in East Oakland. She said her father would not have tried to fight off his attackers but would have readily handed over his money. "He valued his life more than that," said Baird, who had kept a bedside vigil at Summit Medical Center in Oakland for nearly three weeks as her father's condition worsened. Baird was born in St. Louis in 1922. Also known as "Little Joe," after his middle name, Baird received his first trombone at age 12. Both he and his brother Bill went on to travel the country, playing gigs and recording albums with jazz greats from Dizzy Gillespie to Lena Horne, his daughter said. Born on June 24, 1922, in St. Louis, Mo., Baird was a distinguished jazz trombonist who played with Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerarld, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. He performed with the latter two greats in a historic concert at New York City's Carnegie Hall on Sept. 29, 1947. His work can be heard on dozens of jazz recordings. Baird said her father didn't put down his trombone until 10 years ago and still loved listening to jazz and meeting with musician friends at clubs. While he used a motorized scooter to get around because of arthritis in his legs, her father was still active and often ran errands for other senior citizens, she said. "He was a consummate jazz musician type. He dressed nicely and was well- spoken, just a real classy guy," said Barbara Land, a Richmond resident who met Baird in a Laney College jazz workshop. Gibson said he loved to tell stories about his 50 years on the road or to teach other residents about musical instruments. He was well-known at St. Mary's Gardens for his great collection of jazz records. "He was always a gentleman," said Esola DeJohnett, a fellow resident who took piano lessons with Baird last year. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=SEARCH&sql=Bwefnzfsheh6k http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22taswell+baird%22 From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Wed Nov 27 03:50:43 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Brian Karasick) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 22:50:43 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] Things to do while in Brussels Message-ID: <002c01c295c8$7c66b9a0$2302a8c0@WorkGroup> > Do any list members have suggestions for things that could be > cool/interesting to do in Brussels?

A solid-state or all-transistors or all-computer-driven turntable will no sooner freeze up than any other consumer appliance, in in the case of an old turntable that might have a tube set... just let the gol-durned thing warm up first! Tubes do that VERY well! Now, the same turntable, presented with some blood-curdling SHIT by Justin Timbertoes or whatever his name is, if properly calibrated and raised from childbirth, will freeze solid even on the warmest day. __ ( ) __ ___ BEHOLD!

Templeton Sheet Music Collection http://library.msstate.edu/ragtime/main.html Charles H. Templeton, an alumnus of Mississippi State University and music lover, gave his entire collection of sheet music (some 22,000 titles) to the school's library several years ago, and they have recently begun putting some of the scanned sheet music online. So far, the online searchable archive is only partially available, but a good selection of the sheet music is scanned and can be viewed and downloaded for closer examination. The available sheet music is divided into several main categories, including blues, rags, movie tunes, show tunes, Irving Berlin, war songs, and minstrel songs. Additionally, the site provides information on the digitization process and technology utilized by the project and the collection in general. In Mr. Templeton's own words, "There are many things to be learned from this collection, whether you are a music major or a business major or studying marketing." The Charles Ives Society http://www.charlesives.org/ Regrettably ignored during most of his long life by the musical establishment, Charles Ives is perhaps the United States' most important and ground-breaking composer. Begun in 1973, the Charles Ives Society is supported by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, largely from a grant by Mr. Ives' widow, Harmony Twichell Ives. Given their mission, it is not surprising that their site contains a wealth of helpful material for musicologists, performers, and those with a general interest in the life and work of Charles Ives. The site contains a complete descriptive catalogue of his music, listing all of his compositions, both published and unpublished. Visitors looking for an introduction to Mr. Ives will do well to read the short essay written by Jan Swafford. Finally, a small photo gallery provides images of Mr. Ives throughout his life, and a calendar of upcoming performances of his compositions rounds out the site.

(AP) -- Noel Regney, who wrote the holiday classic ``Do You Hear What I Hear'' and the 1963 No. 1 hit ``Dominique,'' died this week after a long illness. He was 80. As a young man, Regney studied classical music in Paris and Strasbourg, but his goal of becoming a composer was interrupted by World War II. A native of France, he was forced into the Nazi army but rebelled and became a secret agent for the French Resistance, his stepdaughter, Trish Spiegel, said. Moved by his war experiences, he wrote ``Do You Hear What I Hear'' in 1962 as a poem for peace. Regney's wife, Gloria Shayne, a pianist he met in New York, helped him compose the song. Bing Crosby made the song famous when he recorded it a year later. ``Dominique'' topped the charts in 1963 and ended its five-week run a month before the Beatles hit the pop scene. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22Noel+Regney%22 From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Wed Nov 27 18:07:12 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (exotica@mailman.xmission.com) Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2002 13:07:12 -0500 Subject: Msg From Dana Re: [Exotica] Have no fear - Cool And Strange Music! lives on!

Anywho, just to dispel any misinformation, it is true that I will be leaving the magazine, but not until February, 2003. That will be my last issue (#28) as editor/publisher and then Myke O'Clock, (who runs the great Hip Surgery Guide to Music website) [Lou, please insert his URL here -- thanks!] will be taking over as head honcho. The magazine will definitely carry on without me, as I pursue my own music (a Moog CD project) and travel to France to interview Jean Jacques Perrey for a book I am going to be writing on his life and amazing music. I' ve had a blast over the last 7 years with the magazine, but it's time for me to pursue some of my other interests, which you can find out about by going to my new website: www.danacountryman.com. I'm delighted that Myke will be taking over, and many more years of COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC MAGAZINE will be published. But I'm not gone yet. Meanwhile, Myke and I are working together on what will be my final issue in Feb.

He added some ultra groovy drums and a hot organ that it explode in like mad ! the die hard retro freaks should note that it sounds like 100% retro (not like his other stuff where you hear that it is something new) On the “Birds do it” comp is also an incredibly groovy up tempo track with german female vocals from Uschi Moser called Sunny Honey that could become a real classic.

I received my own copy of this FEMMES DE PARIS CD as a gift when I suscribed to JUKEBOX MAGAZINE. If you like the French ye-ye scene, you'll enjoy this compilation. While they did throw in some well-known names like Marie Laforet and Brigitte Bardot to boost the sales, most songs are from little-known girl singers you couldn't find on any other CD!!! (And the old 45 rpms are very, very expensive!) Here is the track listing : 1. Marie Laforet : Marie Douceur, Marie Colere (Paint it black) 2. Jacqueline Taieb : 7 heures du matin 3. Eileen : Ces bottes sont faites pour marcher (Those boots are for walking) 4. Violaine : J'ai des problèmes assurément 5. Tiny Yong : Tu es le roi des menteurs 6. Michele Arnaud : Les papillons noirs 7. Jocelyne : Nitty Gritty 8. Liz Brady : Partie de dames 9. Stone : Fille ou garcon (Sloop John B) 10. Elizabeth : Je suis sublime 11. Christine Pilzer : Dracula 12. Cosette : Idealisation 13. Christie Laume : L'adorable femme des neiges 14. Adele : J'ai peur parfois 15. Paricia : Mes reves de satin (Nights in white satin) 16. Annie Philippe : Baby Love 17. Brigitte Bardot : La fille de paille 18. Stone : Les framboises (You're so good to me) 19. Jacqueline Taieb : Le printemps a Paris I'll admit the Bardot song is not her best (this was of course pre-Gainsbourg!), but the Marie Laforet one is very good. Other very good songs are no. 2, 3 7, 9 11 and 13. This CD is billed as "Vol. 1", and I certainly will buy Vol. 2 when/if it comes out!

We actually found the following albums about a month ago at an estate sale, but with all the sad news and upheavals on the list and my own weird and busy schedule, I haven't had a chance to post until now. The amazing things about this sale are that all the albums are in pristine condition -- many either unopened or still with the plastic just slit open, most are either on Phase 4 or Command, they were 50 cents each and we got to the sale in the last hour of the last day it was open. The estate dealer said that a fellow had bought 80 albums in the morning when they were still $3 each. I wonder what he got...well, here's what I got: Edmondo Ros - Strings Latino and Latin Hits I Missed. Had these on CD already, but couldn't pass up these pristine Phase 4s. Realized the other day that these are probably from the mid-60s and can now hear how his sound was developing away from Latin Big Band to more of a Now Sound. Fun stuff. Ted Heath - Pow! This is all Now. For a fellow English band leader of Ros, Heath's sound had always been hotter and this is as hot as it gets. Highly recommended! Warren Kime - Brass Impact Goin' Someplace and Explosive Brass Impact. More great stuff from Kime. Henry Jerome - Brazen Brass Brings Back the Bands. Appropriate to follow Kime, because while it's a tribute album to the Big Bands, it has all the energy of a Kime. Robert Byrne - Sound in the eighth dimension. While I have never heard of this fellow, it's a great SABPM album. The liner notes are interesting, showing charts of where all the instruments were during recording. Got to love an album that has a song called "March of the Space Cadets"! Ronnie Aldrich - Melody and Percussion for Two Pianos. Aldrich usually sends me to snoozeville, but this one has great Latin percussion. Montenegro - Cha Cha for Dancing. As opposed to Cha Cha for Quiet Listening?!? Good stuff though. International "Pop" All Stars - Twelve Star Percussion. Okay, with a band name that memorable, how is it they weren't bigger than the Beatles. Actually, it's a very good album, full of plenty Now, Pow & Wow affects. The Ray Charles Singers - Rome Revisited, Something Special for Young Lovers, Something Wonderful and Things to do on a rainy night. We've gotten our turntable slowed down a bit, so vocals sound pretty good. The RCS have definitely replaced Anita Kerr and Ray Conniff Singers as our favorite vocal group. Their sound is much tighter and balanced. Having said that, we'd still like to check out more Randy van Horne than just the "Pow"s on Esquivel. Any recommendations? Roger Laredo - Italy. Can't really remember what this is like, but nothing we got was bad. Tommy Garrett - 50 Guitars go Italiano and A Brazilian Mood. I'm not going to get into the muddy thing again, because both of these are quite good, especially the Brazilian. Tony Mottola - String Band Strum-Along and Roman Guitar. The first one is about the only album I don't like much, mostly because of the corny songs. Still plenty of skill there. 101 Strings - A Romatic Mood for Dining and Dreaming and East of Suez. Got my 101 Strings and "I left my heart in SF" fix at the same time! Wayne King - Dream Time. Beautiful cover and music. Rudi Bohn - Percussive Oompah. A fun twist on the Phase 4 percussion series. The Three Suns - Movin' 'n' Groovin' and The Things I Love in Hi-Fi. As you know, the Stereo Action series is all great, but I was pleased with the second one too, which includes a pipe organ. Enoch Light - Stereo 35MM, Vol. 1 & 2. Light isn't my favorite performer on his own label, but I still enjoyed these. Roland Shaw - Mexico! Nice in that it has a number of non-typical songs like "Bulerias". Jackie Gleason - Music to Remember Her. Great concept of all the songs having women's names. Oscar Peterson Trio + One Clark Terry. A little bit more Blue-sy than we usually expect from Peterson, but a good version of "Mack the Knife". Paul Mauriat - Mauriat Magic. Great wrap-around cover of woman clothed only with her hair and picture of Paul in frilly shirt a la Austin Powers. Nice music too. Pat Suzuki. Now with a nickname of "Miss Pony Tail", I'm expecting something like half of the Peanuts, but instead I get the Japanese-American Ethel Merman. Not bad, but I'm not going to run out to search for more of her albums. David Rose - Enchanted Strings. I like Rose's style and this is a good one. The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Bossa Nova USA. Brubeck can do no wrong. Martin Denny - Sayonara. We're now convinced that we have to get EVERYTHING by Denny. No matter how not-Exotica seeming the songs might be, he could work his magic on any of them. Jack Constanzo - Naked City. Kind of Nelson Riddle goes Latin. Great movie and TV tunes with Constanzo's superb percussion. The Four Freshmen - Love Lost. Another nice addition to our FF collection. That's it for now and it will have to be for a while, because we have developed a serious storage problem. Maybe we should go minimalist and just have a turntable and then albums forming the furniture.

He will be remembered as the one who let the famous ship “Exodus” sail for Palestine. In the 70s, he also was in the news when he was arrested and “enslaved” by Uganda dictator Idi Amin Dada… Her mother was a painter, and the daughter of Polish symbolist poet Boleslaw Lesmian. Gillian Hills was born on June 5, 1944 in Cairo, Egypt, where her father was stationed at the time, but she was living with her mother in Nice, France, in 1958 when she started her public life… Indeed, she was chosen by film director Roger Vadim for the role of the young heroin in his film Les liaisons dangereuses. However, it was soon realized that she was too young for such a role, and she was given instead only a very small part in the picture. In 1959, she was the “beat girl” in the picture with the same title, directed in England by Edmond T. Greville. Her partners were Adam Faith and Oliver Reed, with Christopher Lee himself as a sleazy strip club owner… The music for this picture was the film soundtrack ever composed by John Barry, and performed by the John Barry Seven. It is said that Gillian made some trial recordings when in England, but, anyway, when she came back to France in 1960, she started a new carrier as a singer for Barclay. Her first songs were voice-over cha-chas (this kind of music was quite popular at the time) with Henri Salvador as partner, but she soon turned to the current “love songs” then in favor in France. She had 4 EPs released in 1960, including one with two duets with Eddie Constantine. When, in 1961, the rock and twist rage started in France, she switched to this new style, and had three EPs in 1961/1962. One of those was the original sound track for the picture “Les parisiennes”. One of the songs in the picture was “C’est bien mieux comme ca”, a nice rock and roll nummer performed by Eddy Mitchell and les Chaussettes Noires, as well as French actress/singer Dany Saval. It happened that Eddy Mitchell was also on the Barclay label, while Dany Saval was on Fontana, so they had to choose another girl for the record version. As Gillian Hills also had a part (non singing) in the picture (in the “Sophie” segment with Johnny Hallyday and Catherine Deneuve), she did the record version with Eddy Mitchell. In 1963 and 1964, Barclay released two new records, with both lyrics and music written by herself. This was followed early in 1965 by a last EP from AZ, with one song also written by her, as well as her version of “Busy signal”. Also, in 1963, she did “Une petite tasse d’anxiété” for French TV. (This duet was never released as a record, but you can find it on VHS and DVD, as well as n mp3 form on the Net.)She also starred in 1964 in the German picture “The golden goddess of Rio Beni”, a new version of the “blond girl lost in the jungle” classical story… Then, she moved to England, where she recorded a 45rpm for Vogue, with both songs also her own creation… This was, alas, her latest record. She had decided to go back to movies, and got hired by Michaelo Antonioni for a small but significant part in his picture “Blow Up” (this scene with Jane Birkin, then the wife of John Barry!) Later pictures are, from 1968 to 1975, “Inadmissible evidence” , “Three”, “Take me, love me”, “The demise of Abbot Mouret”, “A clockwork orange”, “Demons of the mind”, “Hot lips of the killer” and “Ten killers came from afar”. She also starred in various TV serials : “Les globe-trotters” in France and “Upstairs, downstairs”, “Casanova”, “Maigret” and “The owl service” in England. In 1975, she no longer wanted to stay in pictures, and emigrated to new York, where she worked as a book illustrator, doing dust jackets and interior illustrations for various books and magazines. Around the mid 80s, she disappeared from the scene, and it was rumored that she was dead (suicide according to some French newspapers, or burnt alive when her apartment was on fire!) However, French reporter Jean-William Thoury (for JUKEBOX MAGAZINE -- he also is a former member of French rock group BIJOU) discovered, after some 15 years, that she had suffered from a very long illness, but was well now. Also, she was no stranger to the world of music as she married Stewart Young, the manager for the Scorpions.

Early this year, Vivendi/Universal issued a two CD set as Vol. 9 of their new series “Twistin’ the rock”. (This 19 volume series is a wonderful collections of French music form the 60s, including integral re-releases for Jocelyne, Hedika, les Gam’s and Nicole Paquin.) This Vol. 9 has remasterized versions of all Gillian Hills’ songs from Barclay and discAZ, but not her two English songs from the Vogue single. April March has included “Tu mens” on her ”April in Paris” CD I would recommend the following songs : # Tu peux # Ne crois surtout pas (nice lyrics from Charles Aznavour) # Zou bisou bisou (very sweet! -- this was THE song during the summer of 1961) # Allons dans les bois # C'est bien mieux comme ca (very good rock) # Je reviens vers le bonheur (very nice French version of Helen Shapiro's "Walking back to happiness") # Tu mens # Maintenant il telephone (very good organ there!) # Rien n'est change # Tut, tut, tut, tut... # Rentre sans moi I am working with other members of our Society on a complete Gillian Hills discography. This may take some time, as some records are quite difficult to locate (and all her vinyl’s are very expensive!!!). If anybody is interested, we’ll be happy to send a copy when it’s finished (January 2003, we hope!). If anybody is interested in more info, please ask! We have scans of most of her EP covers, and would also be happy to share them with any interested party!

If this is the volume 1, it's quite a rarity as it is now deleted here in France. As for the music you'll find the same groovy tunes as in the ultra chicks/swinging mademoiselle comps but (i guess) with a much better sound quality. You can check the tracklist and even hear some sound on this page: http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005USSK/qid=1038593105/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2_2/171-9946722-4459457 It's funny you mentionned this comp now as i found out yesterday that the same label (anthology's) has reissued the complete work of Jacqueline Taïeb, one of the most famous yé-yé girl.

Highlights include a rocking "Pain It Black" by Marie Lafor=EAt, "These boots are made for walking" by Eileen, and "Nights in white satin" by Patricia. A bit similar to Ultra Chicks -- I think there are some duplicate tracks -- but this is a legit CD, which means good sound quality! Also FAR better track selection: not 1 weak song here, and all pretty rare. Even a BB track I hadn't heard before: "la fille de paille". The overal sound is not unlike US 1960's "now" music, as this is as much pop/rock music as "vari=E9t=E9" (French vocal EZ comes close as translation for that I think). Highly recommended.

Hi - Longtime lurker, first time poster.  I saw the post about the Ranwood "Turn Of The Century" lp and had to say something.  It's a great record.  It sounds kind of like lo-fi dentist office muzak.  The sound quality is a little weird and muffled sounding but I think that actually adds to the trippyness of the record.  The band is a trio led by Randy Wood's 20 year old son, John Wood.  He plays Fender Rhodes, and all sorts of other keyboards.   And the selection of songs is really good - "And I'll Come Back," Riz Ortolani's "Till Love Touches Your Life", and Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" are "all good." 
 
Anway, buy it if you can find it.  I know that Carol over at Foothill Records in La Canada, CA has a sealed copy for sale.  I saw it in her store yesterday.  If you're interested, email her at msmusic@sprintmail.com .

From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Sat Nov 30 22:52:50 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Lou Smith) Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2002 17:52:50 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] [obit] Jackie Gayle, Stanley Black, Ray Avery, Dave "Snaker" Ray Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20021130174759.00a601b0@pop.pipeline.com> LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian and character actor Jackie Gayle, who opened for Frank Sinatra, Tina Turner, Tom Jones and Tony Bennett and who appeared in such films as "Tin Men" and Woody Allen's "Broadway Danny Rose" has died at age 76, his publicist said Monday. Publicist Warren Cowan said Gayle died Saturday at Mount Sinai Memorial Hospital in Miami Beach of complications following open heart surgery. A Brooklyn native, Gayle was introduced to show business as a drummer for Sally Marr, mother of comedian Lenny Bruce, and became a close friend of Bruce's. It was Bruce who convinced him to try stand-up comedy and in 1964, Gayle helped opened the Los Angeles Playboy Club with Tony Bennett. In Las Vegas, he headlined at Caesar's Palace, the Tropicana, Sahara, Aladdin and Sands hotels, and became the opening act for such stars as Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones and Tina Turner. Considered a "comedian's comedian," his late-night lounge shows were a magnet for stars such as Johnny Carson, Jack Benny and Bob Hope, Cowan said. He appeared in several films, including "The Tempest," "Broadway Danny Rose" and "Tin Men." On television, he starred in his own show on the HBO cable network, "On Location With Jackie Gayle." He was also a regular on Dean Martin's celebrity roasts. Gayle is survived by his wife Tracy and son Justin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Stanley Black, whose death is reported in the Daily Telegraph [28 November, 2002], has died aged 89. He was a pianist, arranger, composer and dance band leader whose signature tune was *That Old Black Magic*; he later went on to become a classical conductor. Stanley Black was born in London, 14 June, 1913. He studied piano and composition from an early age at the Matthay School of Music, and his first classical composition was performed by the BBC Orchestra when he was 12. He did his first professional dance arrangement for C B Cochran's revue of 1930, and the next year won a prize offered by the magazine Melody Maker for an original arrangement of a jazz chorus. This achievement gave him an easy entree, as a pianist and arranger, into London dance bands. The following year Black was with Joe Orlando at the Embassy Club; in late 1933, he played with Howard Jacobs; and from 1934 to 1935 he was with Lew Stone's Band. He also worked with the American jazz musicians Benny Carter and Coleman Hawkins during their visits to England. Black's ability to listen to a record by, say, a 12-piece band and set down on paper every note played by each instrument so that another band could play the same score as the original, earned him the sobriquet of "the Man with the Photographic Mind". Among his favourite arrangements were If the Moon Turns Green and Limehouse Blues, both written for Lew Stone. His own compositions included Sales Talk, One Foot in the Gutter and Hacienda in Havana. In January 1936, Black was engaged by the Harry Roy Band, succeeding, with fellow pianist Norman Yarlett, the well-known duettists Ivor Moreton and Dave Kaye. To gain publicity for his new piano double act, Harry Roy changed Yarlett's name to White, so the pair were known as "Black and White". In 1937, the band toured South America, a visit that stimulated Black's interest in Latin American music, and inspired some of his later arrangements and compositions. When the war broke out Black joined Ambrose's orchestra before being called up for service by the RAF in May 1940. Less than year later he was discharged on health grounds, and rejoined Harry Roy. Before the end of 1941 he decided to go freelance and, at the same time, took up the conductor's baton. By March 1944, he had become director of the BBC resident dance orchestra, a post he held for more than eight years. In 1951 he and his BBC orchestra appeared in the Royal Variety Performance. During this time, and for several years afterwards, he was also the house conductor for the Decca Record Company, for whom he produced up to four long-playing records a year. With the decline in the popularity of dance bands, Black moved on to light and classical music, insisting to those who expressed surprise that "serious music needn't be pompous. West Side Story should be in the same programme as Beethoven". He conducted several symphony orchestras before becoming, in 1968-9, principal conductor of the BBC Northern Ireland Orchestra. Black also appeared as a solo pianist at many concerts and composed film music, including that for Cliff Richard's beach movie Summer Holiday (1962), which won an award. He was musical director of the Associated British Pictures Corporation from 1958 to 1963. Stanley Black was appointed OBE in 1985. ---------------------------------------------------- LOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) ~ Jazz photographer Ray Avery, whose work brought him into close contact with artists Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday, has died. He was 82. Avery died of a heart attack Nov. 17 at UCLA Medical Center. He was an avid collector of jazz recordings and opened his first jazz record store in 1936. His stock included rare selections by Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Bing Crosby. He closed the store in 1992. His photographs documented the birth of West Coast jazz in the 1950s and the artists who defined the period. His early work appeared on album covers for musicians such as Shelly Manne and Clifford Brown. Many of his best-known shots were taken when he was hired as the photographer for "The Stars of Jazz," a half-hour television show hosted by the pianist and singer Bobby Troup that aired from 1955 to 1958. His work from the program was featured in a 1997 book called "Stars of Jazz." ---------------------------------------------------------------- Posted at alt.obituaries: Yesterday morning, Dave Ray, of Spider's beloved Koerner, Ray, and Glover, passed away after a short battle with lung cancer. He went in his sleep, and gigged to the end, with his last show on November 22nd, back with Spider John and Tony. The real shame of it is that he'd just gotten out of the insurance business and back to full-time musicianship in the last five years or so. Still, as he told a fellow musician recently, 'I'm ready to die; I've always been ready to die.' He refused chemo and met that death on his own terms, living at home, playing to the very last. http://www.startribune.com/stories/466/3463652.html http://www.jdray.com/ From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Sat Nov 30 22:56:12 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (Lou Smith) Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2002 17:56:12 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] [obit] Webster Lewis Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20021130175307.00a63150@pop.pipeline.com> Webster Lewis, a pianist and arranger who attempted to dignify African-American pop music by championing its performance in classical venues, died of complications of diabetes November 20, 2002, in his home in Barryville, New York, at the age of 59. The former director of the community outreach program at the New England Conservatory of Music, Mr. Lewis conducted 50- and 60-piece jazz orchestras that performed works by Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, and other African-American artists in Jordan Hall, Kresge Auditorium, and other venues usually associated with classical music. ''Black music has been presented poorly for many, many years,'' Mr. Lewis said in 1975. ''Jazz, and black music in general, has usually been confined to nightclubs where people are intoxicated and the club is trying to hustle drinks. On the other hand, European music, in the form of classical music, is treated much more generously.'' In short, he said, his objective was to dignify African-American music and, through it, to dignify the African-American community. "He was an energetic man and very outspoken," Gunther Schuller, a composer and former president of the New England Conservatory, said yesterday. "For a time he was my right-hand man and together we attracted quite a few black students to the school." Mr. Lewis played piano with Tony Williams Lifetime and other small ensembles, and conducted and created arrangements for entertainers Michael Jackson, Barry White, Tom Jones, and Thelma Houston. He toured with White as conductor of the Love Unlimited Orchestra and with Herbie Hancock as his musical director. He learned to play the piano at the elbow of his mother, Virgie, a telephone operator who directed several choirs in Baltimore. "When he got good enough, she brought him to choir practice at Grace Memorial Baptist Church and he played the piano, while his mother put the choir through its paces," said his longtime friend James Davenport, who is director of The Door, a nonprofit group that works with the homeless in Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Lewis also played clarinet. He learned that instrument under the tutelage of James Hollimon, who taught children to play various instruments for $5 a week, and brought his orchestra to perform at local churches. It was Mr. Lewis's first taste of performance. When he was a teenager, he'd sneak into the nightclubs on Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore and play with the local bands. "He kept it a secret from his mother," said Davenport. His father, Webster Sr., was a policeman whose beat included Pennsylvania Avenue. "His dad would check on the club owners to make sure they didn't serve Webb drinks. Sometimes he'd check up on him three or four times a night. After the gig, he made sure he got into a cab and went home," said Davenport. Mr. Lewis graduated from Morgan State College in Baltimore and began teaching, first in Baltimore, then in the Boston public schools. "As a musician, most of my work is at night or weekends and I found myself with my days free," he said in a story published in the Globe in 1968, "so I decided to teach during the day." He earned a master's degree in social psychology at Boston College and a master's degree in music composition at the New England Conservatory of Music, where he was an associate dean from 1972 to 1978. He taught at Howard University until a couple of years ago. "He always made sure his students didn't just fall in love with the music, but had an understanding of the music business, too," said Davenport. "He took them on field trips to record labels and recording studios." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From exotica@mailman.xmission.com Sat Nov 30 23:42:25 2002 From: exotica@mailman.xmission.com (James Botticelli) Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2002 18:42:25 -0500 Subject: [Exotica] [obit] Webster Lewis In-Reply-To: <5.1.0.14.0.20021130175307.00a63150@pop.pipeline.com> Message-ID: on 11/30/02 5:56 PM, Lou Smith at lousmith@pipeline.com wrote: > > Webster Lewis, a pianist and arranger who attempted to dignify > African-American pop music by championing its performance in classical > venues, died of complications of diabetes November 20, 2002, in his home > in Barryville, New York, at the age of 59. I had the pleasure of seeing Mr Lewis conduct his New England Conservatory based orchestra perform at Boston's Symphony Hall one Friday night in 1974. This was during the height of Love Unlimited Orchestra's "Love's Theme" and MFSB's "Theme from Soul Train" period. His group was called The Post-Pop Be- Bop Gospel Tabernacle Chorus and 65-Piece Orchestra. I was so moved by his arrangements of various Blacksploitation Soundtrack selections and contemporary early 70's soul hits that I pounded out a review on an old non-electric typewriter that got into my college newspaper, my first published piece! I didn't think anyone thought about him anymore. Thanks again Lou for your obit service to the list. JB
