Folks who like crazy kiddie cartoons will like John K's
Ripping Friends now airing on Fox Kids Saturday mornings.
This morning's episodes had a romantic love scene with
a hot dog and a bun and male cows with udders being forced
into slavery by a chicken man who shat out egg bullets!
(blatant plug!)

I've got another H.S.G. that falls under the category of guilty pleasures
(although I suppose we're all pretty used to that).  On the basis of the
names Burt Bacharach and Hal David I bought the soundtrack to "Lost
Horizon."  The album is pretty wretched as a whole, but the one song I do
like--and I like it more every time I listen to it-- is "The Things I Will
Not Miss."  It's got corny singing in it, but the tune is so 100% grade-A,
quintessentially Bacharachian WITH sitar (not too complex use of it,
granted, but a few heavily twangy notes between chorus lines) that I
couldn't help adding it to the list.
    Aaah.  Another Sunday at the office.

Subject: (exotica) Big sellers

Not long ago we were asked about songs we liked that actually sold well.  I
couldn't think of anything at the time (although Tom Jones's big hits are
perpetual favorites), but the one mega-hit that remains one of my all-time
favorites is Percy Faith's theme from "A Summer Place."  I think Monty
Python's Flying Circus used to use it for the brief intermission shots, and
I remember thinking that I liked the tune, even though they were making fun
of it.  I suppose it's a case of
"what-you-heard-when-you-were-young-you-will-like-for-the-rest-of-your-life,
" because for me it really captures the feel of 1970 or 1971, driving around
the West coast with my family.

For what it's worth,
Clayton

The proper thing to have said would be "it really captures the feel of being
six years old in the back of the gargantuan station wagon driving around the
West coast."  I love the tune either way.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Life in general and moving records.

Sorry for the redundancy, Charles.

My moves are legendary.  For years, I had friends help, and people still
talk, round the campfire late at night, about the time I put all my records
in hundreds of little grocery store shopping bags and had my friends form a
chain to get them to the truck.  The little grocery bag ears rustling in
the open truck under a slight breeze looked like so many leaves of
corn.  Or so I thought.  To my friends, this was just one sign of my madness.

Now, I hire people.  But an old friend just moved between apartments in
Calgary, Alberta, and when one of his helpers complained about the load, he
sat  that helper down and told him about the time he'd helped Will Straw
move his records.
Silently, but visibly moved, the helper went back to work.

Good luck!

Will

Thanks DjJimmy & AudioCarp for there helpful responses.

I had a few days off work last week and have reorganised my basement and
hopefully have headed the problem off at the pass...
All LPs are now high up on shelves and I put several 100 covers out in
the sun for a day + have investing in a Dehumidifier.

I also am in the process of donating several 100 LPs/45s of more
traditional/touristy Maori/Polynesian music here:
http://www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/ant/Department/archive.html

Feels good to have them going to a good home (where someone will make
archival CDr copies for the world)
+ I'm been quietly subversive and increasing the "cheese" factor of the
archive by giving them lots of commercial type pacific music.
(Lots of "recorded in Fiji/Samoa/Tahiti at your resort hotel" type
records)

The one question on storage I still have is:
Would swapping the LP liners from paper to plastic help???
So if even if the covers get dampish this won't affect the vinyl itself.
I'd keep the ones with artwork on them - the best sort!

Is there any serious reason why not?  What do people recommend :)
(I seem to remember reading somewhere audiophile types complaining that
Plastic ones generate more static & records thus attract more dust?)

Thanks!

Subject: RE: (exotica) Thunderbird's on the big screen

You simply must check this out on the big screen if you ever get the chance,
absolutely incredible.  I don't know if they remade the models for the film,
but theres a lot of detail that simply will not show on the TV.
The dream sequence with Cliff Richard Jnr and the Shadows was extraordinary,
one Shadows number and one with Cliff,  with Hank and the Boys all playing
Burns Guitars through Vox AC30's.  Now I always thought that Hank was a
Strat man.....
Unfortunately as it was a kids show and I suppose the Soundtrack is too old,
it couldn't take full advantage of the cinema's big Dolby Sounsdsystem (I
was there for 'Battle Royale' earlier in the week and that was a real
rumbler).  Anyway thats a minor carp.

Game of Death came out a long time after Bruce Lee's death, which might
explain the poor soundtrack (it's a poor film, too). have yet to see his
first two films, so can't comment on the soundtracks...

On a documentary the other night they showed long sections of the
original footage for Game of Death, not the remade one, and it had a
great soundtrack (assuming they hadn't added sound for the documentary).
the fight scenes were amazing too.

his other films were (IIRC):

The Big Boss (Fists of Fury in US)
Fist of Fury (Chinese Connection in US)
The Way of the Dragon (Return of the Dragon in US)
Enter the Dragon
Game of Death (unfinished)
Game of Death (posthumous one)

honey west is gone and a new album has replaced it.

this time around, it's one of my all-time favorites, which continues to
maintain a solid position in my top ten desert island picks.

A DOG'S LIFE - An Actual Story In Sound As Broadcast On The CBS Radio
Workshop
Tony Schwartz
Folkways Records 1958
http://www.basichip.com/dogs_life/dogs_life.htm

In 1956, Tony obtained his dog, "Tina".  From that day on, he started
recording the sounds of the dog and the people with whom he and Tina came in
contact.  He documented on tape the sounds of all the situations Tina led
him into.

After a year of taping Tina's life, he went to CBS with his idea.  A program
was developed and broadcast on the CBS Radio Network.  Arrangements were
later made to release the program as a record.

"A Dog's Life" is a story in sound of people's relation to a dog.  Recorded
in New York's Upper East Side, you'll hear the actual people Tony came into
contact with - many with that thick New York accent that is music to my
ears - as he goes through the process of raising his puppy.

I hope you like it :)

TONY SCHWARTZ, acknowledged master of electronic media, has created more
than 20,000 radio and television spots for products, political candidates
and non-profit public interest groups.  Schwartz has been described as a
"media guru", a "media genius" and a "media muscleman". The tobacco industry
even VOLUNTARILY stopped their advertising on radio and television after
Schwartz's produced the first anti-smoking ad to ever appear (children
dressing in their parents' clothing, in front of a mirror). The American
Cancer Society credits this ad, and others that followed, with the tobacco
industry's decision to go off the air, rather than compete with Schwartz's
ad campaign.

"Documenting life in sound and pictures" is something Tony Schwartz has been
doing since 1945, when he bought his first Webcor wire recorder and began to
record the people and sounds around him. From this hobby developed one of
the world's largest and most diverse collections of voices, both prominent
and unknown, street sounds and music, a collection that resulted in nineteen
phonograph albums for Folkways and Columbia Records.

I went to see Japanese Space Metallers Acid Mother Temple last night,  very
good - especially with the bass player yelling 'Brighton Rock!' at
intervals.
Between the bands they had a DJ playing noisy contemporary music,  and then
halfway through his set he played Denny's 'Quiet Village'.

I was all confused, it sounded great though, of course (so loud).

A new "group" of what kind?  A chat room?  I didn't see any reference to
chatting on the site.

And while I'm here, is there a good MP3 site out there somewhere?  And
what's the best free mp3 software?

AZ

Not being a big downloader (dialup connection), I don't really know. I
think it's a kind of nomadic situation, with the the RIAA shutting sources
down as much as possible. But I'm certain some other folks here on the list
can give you the skinny.

>And what's the best free mp3 software?

All the software you could want can be found here:
http://dailymp3.com/main.html

I use WinAmp for playback and BladeEnc for encoding.

It's cool!

Alan, MP3.com is also a good source of weird 'n' wonderful MP3's.

err... Audiogalaxy! you need to 'download satellite', which is a small
program which does the downloading/uploading of files - the searching is
done via the website (unlike Napster which was all one locally-running
program).

  And

Winamp and MusicMatchJukebox are both ok, and free.

Subject: (exotica) The Long Patton Rave

       I have to say I gave up writing record reviews shortly after
college. Years before that I was often in heavy competion with fellow
field-events team member Bob Guida on weekly jaunts to King Carol and Sam
Goody to thumb through the Belzona and Yazoo bins; worrying about
 how to apply the $4.79 correctly on a blues record, without
anyone to really give us good advice.

         One oft-rejected but well-read jacket was the OJL Patton; their
old copy had filthy and tattered plastic, and week-to-week slightly less
shrink
wrap. Bob and I independently would read Bernie Kaltzko's notes, then opt out
for a Son House, another anthology, and the race of discovery was on.
When we'd meet to play music on the weekends, first we'd listen to the
booty and compare our finds. Bob weakened first on Patton and called
me, played some on the phone, "some weird distant guy who plays slide
too".

        Years later a friend in Virginia who junked "Dirt Road" - cracked
in three places, let me talk him out of it and we listened to it on a crank
up in
a motel room near Lynchburg. I said wow.

  Today i said wow again, like that first time looking at the Paramount
label that said "Charley Patton" spinning for the first time. Icon. I'm
talking
visuals here only because everyone getting this letter has heard the music and
read silly blues books describing the music. (You might have read good
books too).

revenantrecords.com


The set was handed to me by my brother an hour ago---"it's a heavy little
box like a box of 78s". Oh?

  I wasn't prepared to open and see the single greatest piece of
packaging art I have ever scarfed an eyeload on. And the sound ain't bad too,
but
this is about a delight to the eye and the feel of a great rare old linen
volume that is fresh and new...and the most imaginative array of visuals,
embossing, mechanics and flavor that speaks first to those people popularly
known as "record collectors". To hold it and page through text and graphics
housed
in a true "album" of yore (I refuse to say "retro") is the most
persuasive draw into another time that can possibly exist for the housing of
the
medium known as the CD. I can't do justice with words to describe the signals
firing deep inside when confronted with an array of 1920s advertizing art
reproduced impeccably, fresh and new, all cradling and decorating a
complete-as-can-be document in sound of a musical life that has touched us
all in so many ways.

 No matter how comfortable you are with the tattered old Fahey paperback,
smudgy lps or even a precious original or two, you will hold and behold
the Revenant set with a mixture of some renewed wonderment, a heavy (in both
ways) magnetized reverence, and the greatest sense of convenience and
power -to set you into the easy chair with pipe and single malt and reading
lamp and enjoy the flickering lights of your CD player harken your old
speakers to
let you into Patton's sphere in the most poetic setting one could hope for in
2001.

  Art, in a product's packaging, or maybe in real life, can be argued
away by some. Chintzy mimeographs on 1960s small runs did well enough to
enlighten some enough to hear Patton's music at one time. I remember a term
used in classical studies--"absolute music"-- but this set must surely be
absolute art; the most bold, fearless, and succesful attempt to do for the
eye and even one's imagination as the music contained therein. Revenant has
made a
tabernacle, even with its  proper traces of gold, for the music of the Delta's
founding father.

Thanks for justifying my urge to splurge $160 on these 7 CDs, Pat!

I guess if I don't go to Academy records for a few weeks, I'll have it saved up.

AMAZON TO STREAM CDs TO CUSTOMERS
Amazon has found another way to sell music -- it's offering streamed
versions of CDs that haven't yet been released to the public. Shoppers who
order an unreleased CD will be able to listen to the entire album --
streamed over the Internet -- until the CD arrives in the mail. "They want
to encourage pre-orders of CDs," says one marketing analyst. Customers will
not be able to download a permanent copy of the CD, but will have unlimited
use until the CD is released. (Investor's Business Daily 16 Oct 2001 --
