I don't know. Any music style can be extremely boring. We only like the good examples of any style, don't we? But as I understand Alan, he can't get comfortable with Ska in general, although he says he was into it a bit a while ago. I don't know if my "definition" of why reggae, ska or dub is exotica related or danceable or whatever, was any good... To me it is one of the few styles still in aktive living development that I still watch, and since it comes mostly from a tropical island I think it's kind of exotic. As for the Ganja argument... Pot isn't legal in most countries, yet some of them have a strong reggae scene. OK, in Holland - one of these countries - dope is kind of legal, but e.g. not in England and not in Germany, although we are not sentenced to death, when we get caught.
> I love the Dub reggae stuff and "toasters".
IMHO the ragamuffin direction has become too popular in MTV music these days. It mixed with rap and hip hop in a rather unpleasant way. Classical Dub on the other side: yes, always. Some of my favorite dub collection belongs to the most psychedelic music I ever heard.

I believe the record companies have to place a note on the CD, if its "protected". The reason is of course, that people who want to play the CD on some kind of computer, can't play them. That already led to a lot of complaints and it looks as if the companies are having a problem. In a way smaller labels seem to get an advantage from this, as they stil usually don't have protection, and automatically have a wider potential buyers group. And it's cooler.
We had big discussions here on the list about this, and I remember myself supporting the artists, who, in my believe, have a right to be protected, and that is getting money for their work. However, it's the majors of course, who push this protection campaign, as they will gain unequally more benefits from it. But it's a much discussed problem, even among them, that much I know.
It's still a pretty unanswered question for me, what's right or what's wrong. If anybody knows a good practical techno-juristical solution, that will give everybody what s/he deserves, I would be interested to hear about it.
Thanks to Mike for always updating us on what's going on in the white collar world!

No. You can just go from the usual analog output of your stereo into the audio (still analog) of your computer, then digitally record that signal with some audio program, extract the file, define the startpoints of those tracks and give them a number (btw, Byron, does your program do that perhaps automatically?), and then you save those tracks and burn them as usual, with a digital result, that may sound a little bit worse, but not much. So it's simply more work for a fairly equal result.

I can only second your complaint. It looks as if we Macsters rather *pay* for the music we want to listen to. The best free download sites I've found so far, is Vitaminic. It comes with a whole lot of different national sites, I found a lot of stuff on the Dutch site under lounge/exotica...

I haven't seen that the obituary of Norman Granz, the pioneer of the Verve Records label, was posted here. In TIME Magazine his notice is overshadowed by far by the outpouring for George Harrison; to some in the non-rock music community that could have been considered an outrageous snub. I would look to Downbeat magazine, for example, to celebrate his contributions more thoroughly.

That's funny - I think my favorite Beatle is Sir George Martin. Followed in whichever order by John Lennon and Billy Preston. Then by Ringo and Paul van Moneybags, and George lastly. I think his influence was more cultural than musical on the other guys, and I never thought much of him as a guitar player.

I shall, for the answering of this query forthwithfully.
My fiance's MP3-compatible boomity-box is very new but not very sophisticated and I am willing to believe that they will all work this way:
When the boomity-box reads up a CD with MP3s in directories, it takes a bit of extra time to scan each directory and subdirectory (to how many sublevels I don't know), finds the MP3 files, and lists them all. SO for example, in a CD of 16 LP albums given to me by Domenic Ciccone (The Martini Guy), the boomity-box reads all the folders and comes back with 174 tracks to play. It will play these sequentially from alphabetical folder to alphabetical folder unless some different play sequence is programmed. I'm willing to bet that's how your device will access the files as well.

AS far as that other thing abuot how many MP3's can go on a CD, I guess
they must have converted to Wav Files or whatever you said, because I just
saved them to my hard drive and then dumped them onto CD with Easy CD
creator and they came out to 67 minutes for the two soundtracks.
And to be honest, I don't think I'm prepared for the idea of putting a
dozen records on one CD. And anyway, if the Mp3's don't get converted, how
will my CD player be able to play an MP3?

Oh, I know exactly what you mean! A while back I downloaded as many old episodes of "Dragnet" as I could score from LimeWire. They are particularly forgiving in file size, lo-fi and mono!
Then I proceeded to clip the whole shows down to just the ads for cigarettes and Bibles. Jack Webb apparently didn't see the contradiction. I still have these clips posted!
Please go to...

I have CDs that hold literally DAYS of audio because they have Old Time Radio shows that are encoded at 32 Kb mono. That's around 3.5 Mb per half hour of programming. That works out to over 73 hours of audio on a CD.

The observation is right that they haven't had anything out in the series since 1999, and that link to "Register for Free Swag" mysteriously offers no real information so it is possible they are just beginning a housecleaning. I checked whether the U-L website is still there, and it is, complete with its drink recipies, its robot Flash radio stream and its "updates" section which offers not even a glimmer of hope for new releases.
Some people chide the series for the same reason others praise it - it's just so Introductory. I'm assuming that we're all so jaded here that no one on this list spends a great deal of time cranking up their now-aging copies of their samplers. On the other hand, they did make a delightful background back at my Y2K party, in which the invited guests had never heard any of it. I never would have known about Luxuria Music if they hadn't had a cross-promotion with the U-L website at the tail end of May 2000. So... Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Faith Hubley, Oscar Winner in Animation, Is Dead at 77
By ALJEAN HARMETZ,NYTimes
Faith Hubley, a three-time Academy Award winner whose 50 animated films often combined elements of myth, jazz and a deeply felt humanism, died on Friday in New Haven. She was 77 and lived in Manhattan.
For more than 45 years Ms. Hubley made a film a year, an achievement that Dan McLaughlin, head of the animation workshop at the University of California at Los Angeles, called unbelievable. Her first 21 films were made in partnership with her husband, John, before his death in 1977. Her newest film, "Northern Ice, Golden Sun," came out of the lab just a few days ago; its premiere is to be tomorrow at U.C.L.A., and it is to be shown Jan. 8 at the Museum of Modern Art as part of a celebration of Ms. Hubley's life.
Exploring what she called mythic landscapes, Ms. Hubley used primitive myths, magic and music and, in three classic films, the recorded voices of her four young children to comment on the world as it was, is and should be. A jazz fan who sometimes played the cello in her films, she used the works of Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Carter and Quincy Jones as background for what has been described as "filmic poetry." Although the visual images of her later films evoke Mir≤ and Klee, Ms. Hubley has described her films as close to cave painting. "Northern Ice, Golden Sun," not quite seven minutes long, paints the deep attachment the Inuit feel toward the earth.
Ms. Hubley once said that the central thread that runs through her impressionistic, dreamlike and often whimsical films is "human development, with a strong emphasis on the importance of children as people and on the environment people live in."
When Faith and John Hubley married in 1955 and began making films together, they had only two marriage vows, according to Ms. Hubley. "One was to eat with the children," she said. "The other was to make one independent film a year."
The Hubleys kept both promises, and filmmaking became a family affair. They won their first Academy Award in 1959 for "Moonbird," an impressionistic account of young children at play whose unique soundtrack was the recorded voices of their two sons, Mark and Ray. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would not change the name of the category in which they won from "cartoons" to "animated films" until 1971, but the Hubleys were already expanding cartoons beyond Disney.
Their second Oscar came in 1962, for "The Hole," in which two construction workers debated nuclear destruction. Their third, in 1966, was for the buoyant "Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Double Feature," in which the band plays on as more and more people crowd into its automobile.
The Hubleys' work was the subject of a retrospective in 1998 at the Museum of Modern Art.
Until John Hubley's death during heart surgery, Ms. Hubley was considered the lesser partner in their work. When they met, he was already well known. At Disney he had worked as an art director on "Bambi," "Dumbo," "Pinocchio," and "The Rite of Spring" episode of "Fantasia." Staunchly pro-union, he had left Disney during a bitter strike in 1941 and then was a founder of United Productions of America, where he helped move animation away from Disney with the creation of "Mr. Magoo" and "Gerald McBoing-Boing."
Ms. Hubley, who grew up in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, had bolted from home at the age of 15 without finishing high school. Reticent in interviews about her childhood except to say that her parents had "made no room for children," she created an intimate self-portrait on film in the 25-minute "My Universe Inside Out" (1996), which hints at child abuse and her parents' burning down the family house.
At 18, Ms. Hubley went to Hollywood. Because World War II had emptied the studios of young men, she got a job as a messenger at Columbia. She worked her way up to sound-effects editor, music editor and script clerk, and dreamed of being an independent filmmaker.
History gave her a shove in the right direction. Because of John Hubley's political activism, they were blacklisted. Returning to New York, they fed their growing family by working on commercials and educational films. Their first independent film, "Adventures of an *," was finished the year after their marriage, right on schedule.
"We could have been rich," Ms. Hubley recently told a reporter. "But I told John, `If you're an artist, you can't be a huckster.' "
The Hubleys earned an Oscar nomination for "Windy Day" in 1968. This time the voices of the children were those of their two daughters, Emily and Georgia. In "Cockaboody" (1973), Emily and Georgia played at being grown-up mothers and glancingly mulled the death of their own mother.
When John died, the Hubleys were working on their 21st film, "The Doonesbury Special." Finished by Ms. Hubley, Garry Trudeau and their longtime animator, Bill Littlejohn, the film became their seventh to be nominated for an Oscar.
After her husband's death, Ms. Hubley turned to larger themes and more abstract images. "Step by Step" (1979) projects mother love against the impossibility of protecting children in a world of foul water and limited food. "Seers and Clowns" (1994), which was animated by Ms. Hubley, both her daughters and Mr. Littlejohn, uses the words of Chief Seattle against metamorphosing images of wisdom and folly.
"Faith was always timid about doing animation," said Mr. Littlejohn, who first worked with Ms. Hubley on the 1962 film "The Hole." "The strengths of her films were her brilliant designs and her strong ideas. And making one film a year is a standard no one else has approached."
Ms. Hubley's solo films, usually a combination of her watercolor paintings and cel animation, often dealt in a poetic way with the treatment of women ("Witch Madness," 1999) and with pre-Christian myths. "The Big Bang and Other Creation Myths" gives no more credence to the scientific explanation of the beginning of the world than it does to half a dozen primitive beliefs.
At the time of her death, Ms. Hubley was a senior critic in the department of art at Yale University. In addition to her four children, she is survived by six grandchildren.
To the end, Ms. Hubley loved being an independent filmmaker. As she told an interviewer a few months ago: "I am willing to pay the price: total financial anxiety all the time. I don't have any greed illusions. I need to eat, and that's that."

Hey Tiki I'll bet you'll like Paris Combo. A year ago I was drinking martinis that were too good in a bar that was too deftly cool for Birmingham, AL (and consequentltly closed shortly thereafter) and marveling at the place when unexpectedly I turned to the surprisingly pleasing sound of a man blowing a trumpet into a bowl of water... and the most hauntingly beatiful female voice. It was Paris Combo, on their first American tour. They're the perfect lounge music for times when your feeling continental: http://www.pariscombo.com

Why would I invite you to a dinner party?
And besides: I have vegetarians *regulary* at MY dinner parties, and I can cook for them, and they seem to enjoy it. And besides: I have never cooked dog at my dinner parties, or on any other occasion, and I probably never will. And besides: When I ate that dog meat in China, I didn't even know it was dog, while I ate it; I only learned later that it was dog.
So much to people who draw the most simple conclusions on something they hear or read or elsewise misunderstand in the big wide world of information overload.

Subject: (exotica) Yet another download of the week
Date: 18 Dec 2001 08:08:40 +0800
Hi,
hope everyone is doing well. I decided to follow the excellent example of basichip, otis fodder and others and present a full album for download.
However, I would recommend not getting too excited (at least, not as excited as I do when Mr. Hip posts albums). The album I've put up is not especially rare; in fact, in England, I would say it's quite common. However, unless I've missed something, it's one of the lesser trumpeted UK issue easy listening LPs.
It's Helmut Zacharias's 'Light my fire', a great example of the sound epitomized on the 'Inflight entertainment' compilation, which I would describe as a brassier, more brazenly cheesy version of the 'Now sound'. Have a listen and let me know what you think:
To download songs, click the song titles. This is the first time I've done this, so please accept my apologies if my server is unable to take the strain, or if I've screwed anything up. I'll keep the files up there until the end of the year.
I hope some people enjoy the album. Although it's some way from being 'cool', I'm absolutely crazy about this version of 'Respect', and there are five or six other really excellent tracks.
cheers,
Jonny

Another great coincidence: this album I have been searching for 13 years! Only two months ago I had found out what it actually was that I'm looking for (I only had a cassette without any titles or band names before), and now it's "Upload of the Week". Simply super. I really should send you MP3s with sound samples of the few last records I'm still searching. You may have 'em.

December 19: One of the most highly regarded cartoonists working in comics during the last half century has passed on. Dan DeCarlo, at 82 years still professionally active, died yesterday, reportedly of a heart attack suffered following a bad fall.
DeCarlo is most famous for his defining work on the ARCHIE comic books. His distinctive approach proved so irresistable and succesful at keeping kids buying the books that it ultimately became the defacto house style at ARCHIE. DeCarlo also created JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS, SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH and CHERYL BLOSSOM for ARCHIE and left his distinctive stamp on all the ARCHIE characters.
Despite his yoeman efforts for ARCHIE PUBLICATIONS, DeCarlo was not loved by management. As ARCHIE developed DeCarlo creations into lucrative television and film franchises, friction grew between the artist and publisher Michael Silberkleit. DeCarlo ultimately entered into an ugly legal battle with ARCHIE over ownership of the JOSIE, SABRINA and CHERYL BLOSSOM characters. The COMICS JOURNAL recently reported that the United States Supreme Court refused to revisit a lower court of appeals ruling that "the copyright for Josie and the Pussycats resides with Archie and that DeCarlo's challenge has come 40 years too late.

I'd like to gather a group of web-savvy tikiphiles together to collaborate on a usesful, searchable, up to date tiki directory. The events, the people, the places, the cocktail recipes... Here's the idea in a nutshell: if you need to find a band for your party, if you need to find a party to go to, if you want to find a tiki artisan, want to know what's going on in the tiki subculture, tiki.info will be the place to go. People who want to help out so far include nels dahlquist of tikizone.com, tiki kiliki of tiki central :-) and otto von stroheim of tiki news. Anyway, i'm sure there are a lot more talented web designers and programmers on this list than I, and beyond that it's going to take a little time from a lotta people to put together a real "tiki portal." So, if you've got any ideas, advice, skills, or enthusiam you'd like to share please email ford@magicmartini.com.
