Subject: (exotica) addition of the day

Seems like I'm adding cdr's to my collection on a daily basis now. Trading,
downloading, copying, the music just keeps coming. Yesterday I added a
homemade Naomi Hall comp (downloaded from mp3.com). Today it's the Ralph
Records 10th Anniversary Radio Special (released by the Residents' label in
1982 as a limited edition) that I traded with someone.
Anyone else see their collection of shiny little discs growing before their
eyes?

Here's the latest press release from Dana at C&S Music.
Lou
===================================================
From: [e-mail]
Have a great Holiday Season!

- - Dana
C&Sm Mag

ISSUE NUMBER 23 OF COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC MAGAZINE IS HERE!

Loaded with new, informative articles on the coolest and strangest music you
never thought you'd hear about, this issue features a 4-color cover, lots of
high-quality photos, tons of new wacky and weird CD reviews, and it's more
fun than teaching your parrot to sing "Springtime in the Rockies!"
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This issue features:

MEL BLANC

    Our cover feature is a man mostly recognized as the voice of Bugs Bunny,
in addition to a long list of cartoon characters that includes Porky Pig,
Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, the Tasmanian Devil, Woody
Woodpecker, and Barney Rubble.

    Besides his ubiquitous voice work for animation, Mel Blanc recorded a
number of novelty and children's records throughout his lengthy career. He
also collaborated with such Cool & Strange luminaries as Billy May, Spike
Jones, and Mickey Katz.

    Walt Mitchell treats us to an illuminating interview he did with Mr.
Blanc in 1978, discussing everything from Mel's early days in radio and the
dawn of children's records to the various rare promotional recordings and
adult releases. It's a fascinating talk with the Man of 1000 Voices!
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAD MAGAZINE RECORDS

    While MAD Magazine is infamous for plumbing the depths of humor on the
printed page, "the usual gang of idiots" were known to occasionally project
their wild satire onto record as well.

    From the late 1950s through the early '80s, a variety of wacky releases
brought Alfred E. Neuman to your stereo. Although there were a few
full-length LPs, the bulk of the MAD sounds came in the form of cardboard and
flexi-disc singles which were included as promotional supplements to the
magazine's annual anthologies and quarterly Super Specials.

    Gary Weinraub explores the history of these collectable novelties, and
even takes us behind the scenes for one of the last recording sessions, "The
MAD Laugh Record," in 1981!
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOTLEG ALBUMS

    For over three decades, bootleggers have been offering up rare and
unreleased audio treats to eager music fans. Ranging from creatively packaged
collections of live concert recordings, demos, and studio outtakes to
unauthorized CD editions of out-of-print vinyl LPs, these illegal curiosities
have become an intriguing genre of their own.

    Delve into the colorful history of black market releases with Robert
Koenig, as he examines not only the intriguing variety of material, but the
strange and beautiful cover art that often accompanies them as well.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The LANGLEY SCHOOLS MUSIC PROJECT

    Between 1976 and '77, Langley Schools Music Director Hans Fenger took a
radical new approach to teaching his students. Rather than utilize
traditional children's music, which is often simplistic and con-descending,
he chose to introduce them to more complex material from contemporary acts
like the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Eagles, and David Bowie.

    The children's unique performances were recorded by Fenger, who then had
souvenir LPs pressed to give to each participant. Several years later, these
recordings have found their way onto CD and listeners are discovering the
strange appeal of the odd arrangements, massed vocals, and colliding
percussion.

    Learn the story behind one of the most engaging releases this year, as
Jeff Winner profiles this lost chapter of outsider music history.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------


GARY OWENS

    Best known as the hand-over-the-ear announcer on TV's Laugh In, Gary
Owens has supplied manly voices for a variety of animated heroes such as
Space Ghost, Roger Ramjet, and Ren & Stimpy's Powdered Toast Man. He boasts
an impressive resume of work in movies, cartoons, video games, and
commercials.

    C&SM columnist Ed Kaz chats with the veteran voice man, and finds out why
he's called 'The Rolls Royce of Voice.'
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

JACKIE GLEASON

    Classic television lovers will always remember him as Ralph Kramden, the
portly busdriver on The Honeymooners. But, Cool & Strange readers should know
Jackie Gleason for conducting his lush, romantic compositions and
arrangements during the 1950s and '60 on albums like "Music for Lovers Only,"
"Music to Make You Misty," and "Music to Change Her Mind."

    He inspired a wave of mood music albums for every occasion, and
collaborated with the likes of Bobby Hackett, Charlie Ventura, Billy May, and
even Salvador Dali. Giancarlo Davis takes us back to the Great One's heyday
for a look at the funnyman's musical leanings
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Modern Artist Profile:
ANGELA FAYE TILLETT

    As the bubbly British voice behind the groups Lollipop Train and Death By
Chocolate, Angela Faye Tillett has proceeded to carve out a unique realm of
colorful fantasy pop.

    Her enchanted world is a parade of childlike imagery, bubblegum
singalongs, and giddy psychedelia, like the Yellow Submarine on a detour
through Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Join Mr. Otis Fodder as he peeks
through the candy-colored clouds to find out how her garden grows.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

RAY CONNIFF

   Anyone who's ever combed through a thrift store record bin has encountered
at least a handful of albums bearing this man's name. Often dismissed as
bland, easy listening pap, his vast catalog of releases is usually noted
mainly for the album covers, which were invariably graced with photos of
beautiful women.

    Conniff was a skilled arranger, though, and he perfected a formula that
ensured a consistent sound and continued success. He absorbed a wide variety
of material into his repertoire, from classical favorites and movie themes to
novelty hits and R&B charttoppers. Such tactics helped move over 65 million
albums throughout five decades.

    Brad Bigelow confesses his appreciation for Space Age Pop's long-distance
runner, and reveals that there's more to a Ray Conniff album than just a
pretty face!
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

DETROIT RECORD STORES

    The Motor City has been home to a wealth of music history, so it's no
surprise that it offers an assortment of retail outlets for records.

    Should your travel plans include Detroit, let Marty Winters guide you to
the choice spots for Cool & Strange vinyl and compact discs.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

THURL RAVENSCROFT


    The last profile in our trio of famous cartoon voicemen for this issue
focuses on Thurl Ravenscroft, the man who's brought life to Kellogg's Tony
the Tiger in cereal commercials for over half a century. He's also done voice
work for Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss, and his impressive resumΘ of back-up
singing includes sessions with Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, Rosemary Clooney,
and Spike Jones.

    Meet the guy who's usually heard and not seen, as Steve Pastis chats with
one of the gr-r-reats!
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

BROTHER THEODORE

    Equal parts comedian and dark philosopher, Brother Theodore was a staple
of New York's Thirteenth Street Theater, where he performed his one-man show
for decades.

    His odd and colorful career encompassed TV appearances with Steve Allen,
Johnny Carson, and David Letterman, roles in both Hollywood and Adult films,
and even a bit of cartoon voice work. In a rare interview from 1984, G.S.
Stewart sheds some light on this enigmatic monologist of the macabre.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

MEL BLANC 78s


    This issue's Cover-Mania! Photo Spread boasts a colorful parade of
children's 78rpm covers, all featuring the talents of the Man of 1,000
Voices, Mel Blanc!

    Check out some great album art from the early days of recorded children's
music. Starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker, Tweety Bird, Henery
Hawk, and more!
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Add to all of that a ton of CD reviews and other goodies, & you've got
yourself a cornucopia of


So get on board!
It's gonna be a cool ride through
the wild, wacky and sometimes tacky
world of records!

Subject: (exotica) Yet another download of the week

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:

http://www.musicaltaste.com/blog/showrecord.php?record_id=110

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

The Apache Dance was something of a craze in Paris nightspots earlier in
the last century. Not a social dance one would engage in, but an act. They
can often be seen in contemporary films with bistro locales. I learned of
them first through old cartoons, in which a stripe-shirted tough guy would
sling a gal around like a sack of potatoes. Check this out, just one site
found with a Google search on "apache dance":

Hi everyone

At last the Clubagogo website has gone live!

www.clubagogo.co.uk

It's based on a Southampton (UK) club night devoted to
funk, soul, jazz, hip hammond grooves, groovy soundtrax, 60s powerpop and
now sounds
and features real audio of some of the swinging tunes played each week

I'm having some problem with the real audio files. They were produced in
G2 Real Producer but they're not streaming from the site. Can anyone tell
me what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance

they download fine. if you want them to stream, you need to make a .ram
file using a text editor (Notepad etc) that lists the file(s) you want
to stream, in the correct order, each on a new line. then change the
link to point to the .ram file, instead of the .rm file.

First post on the list, hello all, this is Peter from Mighty Manchester UK.
I'll try to catch up with the list and I promise I won't ask any silly silly
silly question. I'm a big fan of Kraftwerk since 1986. Big fan of Klf and
Orb too. I'm a regular on 808state.com and there you can find some info

For those of you who get the "Good Life" TV Network, 77 Sunset Strip was on
Saturday, along with Hawaiian Eye, Surfside 6 and Bourbon Street Beat.  I
cannot tell from their site if they show them every Saturday or not.  The
episode I taped showed the Frankie Ortega Trio on stage.  Whee!

...and the 77 Sunset Strip Cha-Cha is fun, too,

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.

Yes, indeed, they show them every Saturday night, 8 to Midnight.

Hi Peter.  Welcome to the list.  It's a great place to hang out.

You asked if there were any other Nelson Riddle fans out there.
I'm becoming a Nelson Riddle fan.  I found a great crime jazzy soundtrack
not too long ago called "The Rogues".  I like it a lot.  I want more like
it.  I then realized that the Batman TV Soundtrack I had is also Nelson
Riddle.  Then while making a compilation CD, I noticed that the Linda
Ronstadt records were Nelson Riddle.  I know he's worked with Sinatra.

How's that one with the cover of the naked lady swimming on it.  Or any
others anyone might recommend?

Doug

There was a feature on Riddle during yesterday's Morning Edition:

NPR Special Correspondent Susan Stamberg talks to biographer Peter
Levinson about Nelson Riddle, the conductor, whose distinctive musical
arrangements helped define the sounds of Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra.

> This week, it's one of my favorites, Edd Byrnes' Kookie!

"hes high in my eyes baby, he SWINGS...i dig him"

I would say this will easily end up being one of my all time favourites.
Being a UK resident and a bit of a youngster i never saw Sunset Strip and
have never heard any of the soundtrack, though have often heard it
recommended.

The Kookie track is ABSOLUTLEY FANTASTIC and will fit nicely in between
other favourite spins of mine like "Tarzans monkey" - Apes and "Honourable
Hong Kong Rock" - Lionel Hewman. BIG  Thanks for the chance to hear it!!
(Oh yeah, and thanks for the peek at Club a go-go very nice sights and
sounds...)

And he IS a "handsome hunk a'heaven" as Tracey Dey would say.  I could
almost trade in my Ricky Nelson Fan club membership.....but lets not get
into that.

Have had the soundtrack for "Palm Springs Weekend" recommended, in the same
vein as Sunset Strip i am told.  Is this worth looking out for??   Grateful
for any pointers....

Alan.

DAN DECARLO DECEASED

TAKES CASE TO HIGHER AUTHORITY!
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.
