I agree with Cheryl - Amon tobin's 'permutation' is a winner, particularly track 5 ('Nightlife', I think it's called), which uses what sounds like Les Baxter's version of 'temptation', from 'carribean moonlight'. The last track, a skewed sounding bossa, was subsequently used as the backing for Bebel Gilberto's recording of 'Samba de Bencao' from 'A man and a woman'.
Sorry, I'm using too many quotation marks today.
On the topic of Beatles cover albums, I've mentioned it before, but Ramsey Lewis's White album tribute, 'Mother Nature's Son', is quite awe-inspiringly brilliant - beautifully orchestrated instrumental pop/jazz cover versions. A few tracks of it are available as bonus cuts on the 'Maiden Voyage' CD, but I highly recommend tracking the LP down. It can normally be had for a bargain $5 to $10 on ebay.

Scientists kill mice with dance music
by Danielle Demetriou
Scientists who forced drugged mice to endure fatal doses of loud dance music have been accused of " despicable" cruelty by animal welfare campaigners.
The study by Cambridge University examined how loud music strengthens the harmful effects of methamphetamine, the drug commonly known as speed.
Wendy Higgins of the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, said: "These sick experiments are absolutely despicable. Just because people choose to take drugs and go to raves doesn't justify subjecting animals to suffering and death in a laboratory."
The scientists, who used a total of 238 mice in the experiment, concluded that loud music strengthened the toxic effects of methamphetamine in animals. http://www.thisislondon.com/dynamic/news/story.html?in_review_id=470967&in_review_text_id=424979

Rant away, seems fitting considering the mentions of Jack Diamond.
Whats the Ed Lincoln cut?
Aside from that it, sounds great anyway.
I've just got back from a pressured lunchtime trip into town as I'll be
away for the weekend. Picked up the Moondog LP mentioned recently, and an
Anubian Knights 12.
The Moondog LP looks good, a gatefold with full sleevenotes with the mans
life story, and after Michael's comments yesterday, I'm looking forward to
it.
What do people make of the Anubian Knights? I know listers have played
with them, and from descriptions (of their own at least) I'm assuming its a
Musician Russell Lee "Rusty" Kershaw, brother of fiddler Doug Kershaw and former
member of the Rusty & Doug performing and recording duo, died Tuesday (Oct. 23)
in New Orleans of a heart attack. He was 63.
Kershaw, who was born in Louisiana Feb. 2, 1938, joined his brothers Doug and
Nelson ("Pee Wee") in 1948 to form the Cajun band Pee Wee Kershaw & The
Continental Playboys. He was the groupÆs guitarist. From 1953 to 1955, the
Kershaws performed on KPLC-TV in Lake Charles, La. They also began appearing on
the Louisiana Hayride in 1955 but moved the following year to become members of
the Wheeling Jamboree on radio station WWVA in Wheeling, W. Va.
Rusty KershawÆs first record with Doug was "No, No ItÆs Not So," recorded in the
early æ50s for Feature Records in Crowley, La. Now performing as Rusty & Doug,
the brothers came to Nashville and signed with Hickory Records, an Acuff-Rose
affiliate. Their first single on Hickory, "So Lovely Baby," was released in 1955
and went to No. 14 on the country charts. For their follow-up two years later,
they did a cover of Jill CoreyÆs 1957 pop hit, "Love Me to Pieces." It too
reached No. 14. Rusty & Doug joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1957. Over the next
three years, the Kershaws charted three more singles for Hickory, the highest
one being "Louisiana Man," which went to No. 10. The duo signed to RCA Records
in 1963. The next year, however, Rusty left the duo.
Continuing to record and perform on his own, Kershaw released the album Cajun in
the Blues Country (which featured Charlie Daniels on fiddle) on Cotillion
Records in 1970. He figured prominently in Neil YoungÆs 1974 album, On the
Beach, playing fiddle and slide guitar and also providing the liner notes. Young
later returned the favor by performing on eight tracks of KershawÆs Big Easy
Award-winning 1992 album, Now and Then, on Domino Records. Also playing on that
album were Art Neville and Ben Keith. KershawÆs wife, Julie, told country.com
that her husband remained active in music until his sudden and unexpected death.
She said he played his last show Sunday in New Orleans.
Rusty KershawÆs other survivors include a son, Troy, and a daughter, Sherry.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

I'm working on updating the listing for my mp3 lending
library. I've got another 100 + titles to add in the
next few weeks. Anyone interested in adding something
to the list just drop me a line. Unlike the generous
Mr. Hip, I still do things the old fashion way with CD-
Roms and mail. If there's something you really want to
hear, it doesn't need to be a 1-1 exchange, if you can
add 1-2 mp3-ed albums to the list I'll send you 5-10
(whatever will fit on a CD-Rom).
The lending list is at:

Wayne Newton Launches USO Tour
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 5:03 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Las Vegas lounge singer Wayne Newton joined President Bush at the White House Friday to launch this year's USO holiday tour -- a spirit-lifting deployment of entertainers for American troops, ``some of whom will be facing extreme danger in the months ahead,'' Bush said.
Newton, teen pop starlet Jessica Simpson, country singer Neal McCoy and comedian Rob Schneider leave Nov. 12 for a weeklong Thanksgiving tour of overseas posts, some of which house troops involved in the U.S. bombing of terrorist targets in Afghanistan. The entertainers will perform in Budapest and Kosovo, and also on an aircraft carrier that United Service Organization officials would not identify, citing security concerns.
Bob Hope, 98, was the USO celebrity frontman for almost all of its 60 years. In October, Newton, 59, was named to take over organizing the USO's circle of entertainers.
At Friday's East Room ceremony, Newton said his new posting would be his legacy.
``When the history is finally written about me it might say a lot of things -- and it may be just, or it may not be kind -- but it will have to admit that I loved my country beyond all else and stood up when it counted,'' Newton said in a speech twice as long as the president's.
Bush told Newton that, as he and his team make the rounds, they will find ``young men and women of the highest caliber, ... some of whom will be facing extreme danger in the months to come, all of whom are proud to serve.''
``For our troops abroad, the USO's touch of home will mean even more as we head toward Thanksgiving and, eventually, the holiday seasons of the winter,'' Bush said. ``And you can tell them they are greatly needed where they are, and they're greatly missed back home. And you can tell them the American people and the president are proud of their service.''

I guess this must have been mentioned before, but there's a movie fropm 1999 full of Martin Denny music, silly exotica decor and even a soundtrack album, called "Breakfast of Champions", feat. Bruce Willis and Nick Nolte. The movie itself is absolutely stupid, but for fans of the king of exotica this could be a collector's item.
