>If anyone is interested...

A few weeks back I was driving back from the DE shore when I noticed a
Salvation Army outlet "accross the tracks" from the usual outlet
villages. The place was vacant and I walked out of there with:

Esquivel: Latinesque
Duane Eddy: Twistin' and Twangin'
Dean Hightower: Something with "Twang" in the title. Anyone interested
in rockabilly or surf instrumentals should keep an eye out for this one.
The cover has Dean and his pomp., back to the viewer, gazing off into
the woods. A shrewd move, I suppose, if obscurity was his ambition.
Anyway, I was really getting happy listening to "Purple Monster," an
ominous surfy sounding track on the first side, when my damned turntable
suffered a fatal stroke. Have not yet heard the Esquivel.

I also found a wrought-lava tiki idol with glowing blue eyes that I have
semi-skillfully affixed to my dash as my mutant St. Chris.

Shopping for a new stereo, dammit,

Tubes? Early 60s? Maybe, maybe not. Easily answered by a look inside. And hot
tubes require more ventilation than transistors, so there might even be vent
holes in the back to peep through.

Subject: (exotica) Help!  CD skips!

I thought that one of the big selling points to get us all to switch to CDs
was that they were indestructible.  If so, why is my new CD, that was never
mis-handled, skipping!  Help!  Help!  Have any of you had this problem?    I
examined the CD and can't see anything on the CD.  Its the Rhino Crime Jazz
CD,  - it happens on tracks #1, 8, 9, 10, and 11 (and maybe more - I haven't
listened to the CD in its entirety).  When I first got the CD it played
perfect.  I played it once to record it on a cassette and this is only the 3rd
time I've played it.  Should I be cleaning them?  Is that it?  Is it the CD
player?  Do I have to buy a new CD? Help!

"God Is My Witness" (a.k.a. "Khudah Gawah" is the most AMAZING movie.
Incredible songs, Michael-Jackson-esque dance numbers, epic three-hour
plot. It's distributed by Scarecrow in Seattle I believe; available to rent
in SF from Le Video (they have three copies of this, and they do four-day
rentals so it's actually worth the trip). A not-to-be-missed treat for any
exotician.

I would love to know of a reliable source for more of this kind of stuff.

Could be the CD player -- I've had two go bad. But maybe not.

Process of elimination checks to make:
How does the CD do on another player?
What happens when you play other discs on this player?
Are the skips at the same exact spot every time?

Also, it's a good idea to run one of those lens cleaner discs every now and
then.

I've actually never had a bad CD (knock on wood). The problem always turned out
to be the player. Though I have heard about such things as CDs that turned out
to be blank!

Vent holes...the old one I have has vent holes, and had no tubes to my
surprise, but it was like 1964 vintage.  Hrumph.
So much for sealed cabinets.  maybe I can replace it with pressboard.  Can

Got to agree with m.ace on this one.

For a while I thought my single beam CD player was allergic to Kate Bush and
The Who, but a new player did the trick.  I still have the old one in the
studio here, but I have to watch it like an engineer.

CDs do skip after wear of course, but even that is repairable.  My
local-yokel record shop has this nifty new CD restoration machine.  I did it
to my Beatles Anthology part 1 and it was amazing, took all the scratches
out, for real...

try the disc in another player, see wha' happeng.  Go to the stereo shop
under the guise that you want to buy a player, take that CD with you.  If it
works, buy the player!

surfing the chaos,

Subject: Re: (exotica) any info on Lana Cantrell, Nancy Ames?

>* NANCY AMES

The only thing I know about her is that she most certainly is NOT liked by
Tom Lehrer.  She was on the American version of "That Was the Week That
Was"; I recall seeing her on a tape of the show at the Museum of
Broadcasting in New York.

To paraphrase his interview with Dr. Demento: "...I didn't sing many of my
own songs on the show, instead they had this robot named Nancy Ames, who
was very pretty to look at sing them and she didn't get any of the jokes".

Considering her rendition of the theme song and her rather blank model-like
expression while singing the song (which, in her defense, wasn't too funny
anyway), I can see his frustration with her performances.

According to All Music at http://www.allmusic.com/ , she recorded at least
three albums, Portrait of Nancy, This is the Girl That is on Liberty and
Latin Pulse on Epic.  Her two chart hits were, "He Wore the Green Beret"
(#89) and "Cry Softly".  She was born in Washington, DC.

The only album I saw listed for Ms. Cantrell was Lana! on RCA.  Someone at
http://www.ccnet.com/~gregory/vocalam.html has The Now of Then! on sale for
15 dollars.

Subject: RE: (exotica) Help!  CD skips!

It isn't always just the player. You can get surface dirt on your CD which
causes them to skip. Once in a blue moon, I will have a CD that skips. Wipe
from the inside towards the outside edge and get the dirt off. Sometimes it
even looks pretty clean, but there might just be one tricky bit of dirt.
I've had hi tech players that skip with everything and really crappy ones
that never skip. It all depends on how well it tracks,but if all your CDs
keep skipping,there is a very good chance that the beam is slightly out of
alignment. Taking it to a repair shop can be rather cheap and sort it out
straight away.

But if you don't take good care of CDs, despite the way they were originally
marketed, they will get damaged. Most of the time the problem is correctable
though.

Interesting. I Looooove to mix Moroder's "Chase" with Donna Summer's "I
feel love" It mixes seamlessly and the two together create this
otherworldly phasing sound. I did not know the two were related in any
way. I had often remarked that they seemed to be created for each other
(not unlike the synergystic combination of pizza and beer.) I gotta read
them liner notes more often.

Which brings me to another thought: Are there listers who are not
interested in the liner notes much? I know people who pore over every
detail: personnell, producer, arranger, dates etc... I realize they
are all important, and I often find this info useful once I get it but
I do not really seek it out. I read liners, but I am not really a
student of them. I am much more interested in my immediate reaction to
what I am hearing. I know there will be some who are aghast at this
revelation - much like my shock to find that some do not break into a
fever at the thought of a fresh pile of records at the local thrift.

Different strokes, eh folks?

When Fly Robin Fly came out it crossed over and was thought of as
funky pop music.  Little did the world know that Munich had spawned a
type of music that would give birth to the band Orb, electronica &

The "Love Boat" theme was written by Joe Raposo. It's scary that I know

It is a valid question--why, as opposed to when, you got on board the exotica
"bandwagon"..For me it was February 1997 in Cambridge at the Lizard Lounge
where Br. Cleve began playing the stuff every Thursday night..Knowing him as a
long-time musician and having spoken with him off an on for over 10 years, I
thought it worthwhile to hear him play what he had been speaking of for
several years. I actually couldn't believe my ears (and I'm a long-time music
collector). I began asking about everything he played and soon was on the
hunt. I didn't realize how important to me personally it was to find a musical
connection I could really embrace--and this has really been my first new
musical love since 1983. Am I a wannabe? I suppose in a way I am. I wannabe an
expert on this music and know all there is to know. Am I a party crasher?  I
suppose I am, it was going before I showed up.. But so what? I'm here and
thank Br. Cleve and all the pioneers who made my own arrival
possible.....Jimmy Botticelli

The information I have says the Love Boat theme was written by P. Williams
and C. Fox.  I'm guessing that's Pat Williams and Charles Fox, writers of
numerous other TV themes of the era.

So I'm wondering, maybe Lazlo knows - has there been a significant drop-off
in the number of list subscribers in the last year or so?  Have the poseurs
moved on from our little world?

I got the info from my copy of "Acid Jazz - Movie & TV Themes", but perhaps
the songwriter credits were wrong.

First I try to clean it with a slightly damp soft cloth, it could be that
I've
accidently touched the surface with a bit of a filthy thumb, or that it
wasn't
as spotless (though quite invisible) as it should have been in the first
place,
who knows how the CD has been handled before I bought it.
Well, and if that doesn't help, I go back to the shop and ask for a new one,
that usually solves the problem.

Good luck, Ton

Hi,

I wanted to let you all know that this week my online radio show, Mappings,
features composer/performers who use vinyl as a source of their music.

Go to <http://www.antennaradio.com/> & select Mappings from the program
page.  Other shows of possible interest include Electric Circus features an
all John Cage show, and Intoxication presents several interesting clarinetists.

Enjoy.

Bests,

It sounds more intriguing, but I have my doubts...Just because

Subject: (exotica) Danger: Diabolik

Hello everyone. I recently had the pleasure of renting the movie Danger:
Diabolik starring John Philip Law (the blind angel in "Barbarella"). In
addition to the great set design and general crime thriller, erotic fantasy
a go-go vibe, I really enjoyed the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. It had a
psychedelic, spy guitar, swingin' beat kind of feel with some great wordless
female vocals. Definitely different than the operatic spaghetti western
sound of his earlier stuff. Does anyone know if the Danger:Diabolik
soundtrack was ever released on vinyl or CD? Has some of this music appeared
on any of the recent Italian soundtrack compilations? And for those of you
who live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I see that Danger: Diabolik will be
playing at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in SF on 7/31 at 9:45pm as
part of their month long euro-trash retrospective. I'll most likely attend,
and if anyone can help with my question, thanks.

Double-0 "Dick" Diablo
