I had a passionate rant about this a few months back but I
have to say I'm kind of getting used to them now...

I guess the answer is to set your mail reader to
automatically trash anything from the list with "obit" in the
Subject...

Subject: (exotica) Dr. Death...

Dear list members,

I find that i remove or ignore about 75% of all messages on this list
before
reading, based on their subject. I skim or scan or read almost all of
the
obituary listings from Lou, and find that many of the dead folks have
some
oddly relational exotica characteristic... I congratulate Lou for
spending the
time and energy to differentiate between the thousands of UNexotic dead
and those he lists.

It is possible to be critical of  the blatantly commercial and highly
opinionated aspects of Jacks postings, but i almost always read
and enjoy them, too, even if they tend to seem bipolar (manic).

Since my primary exotica love is the early years (1890 to the 1950s)
and records more exquisitely rare than most mentioned on the lists,
I feel comfortable being exposed to the widely varying opinions and
comments on this list.

Besides, Lou never claimed to be a doctor.

Thanks for letting me share,

citizen kafka

I use Lou's obits to add some flavor to my radio show. The loss of some of
these characters is reflective of the loss of some of our cultural past, of
which exotica is a part. As we re-invigorate our listening experience with
this great music, we also get to reflect on the cultural debris and
personalities that were part and parcel of the zeitgeist of exotica and its
spinoffs. Jimmy Botticelli/one for Lou's obits

Subject: (exotica) Biographical and Movieological TV

Unless they pull another schedule change, A&E's "Biography" (8:00pm and
midnight, eastern times) features:

Bugsy Seigel - Wednesday night
Merv Griffin - Friday night

Also...
Thursday morning at 6:00am, AMC shows W.C. Fields' deconstructed comedy
destruction, "Never Give A Sucker An Even Break" (1941).

"Omar Khayyam" (1957), with Yma Sumac in a background role throughout the
movie (includes three tiny songlets, don't blink) gets another airing on
AMC, Thursday afternoon at 2:00pm. The subplot of the secret society of
Assassins and their stronghold on Alamout is the most intriguing part.

Liz & Dick's "Cleopatra" (1963) AMC again, Saturday morning, 8:00am.
Probably not wide-screen at that hour.

See a NASA space-race movie directed by the unmistakable hand of Robert
Altman: "Countdown" (1968). AMC, Saturday night, 6:00pm. Can't remember the
music, but the movie has a definite Altman feel, which is an unusual thing
to feel in this genre of movie.

Finish Saturday night up with a monster-rama double feature. "Hercules Vs.
The Moloch" (1963), AMC at midnight. Then Joan Crawford and a missing link
in "Trog" (1970), TNT at 2:40am.

All times and programs subject to change because broadcasters are fickle
creatures.

Subject: Re:  (exotica) Dr. Death...

Personally, I like reading Lou's obit posts. As a guy who works up to 16
hours a day, and also travels/tours a lot, I don't always get to read
newspapers or spend time on line checking out the news. And I never watch
TV news, except if I'm stuck in some hotel and it's the only thing on. So I
say, keep 'em coming. They're informative, and always relate, in my mind,
to this list in some odd sort of way (just like postings of loungecore
reissues, instrumental disco, french pop, radio playlists, Arthur Lyman,
Cosy Cole and ebay listings all relate). Plus, it's not like Lou is sending
out huge .exe files or attachments or anything..........it's a fucking 2
second download! Freedom of Choice is what it's all about, and 'Delete' is
the command that gives it to ya, baby!

Subject: (exotica) glad for the postings

Here's another vote for Lou's obituary listings.

I like the idea of honoring the various creative people who lived 30-40
years in the past, whose glory and claim to fame may not be recognized
by the general public.  Who else is going to appreciate these people?
Us exotica lovers, who already have a strong interest in that era, are
perhaps the best people to pause, reflect, and sincerely feel glad that
the recently deceased chose to take a risk and lead a creative life.
Their fame may have since diminished, but they did do something exciting
enough to warrant a pat on the back 30-40 years later.  I know they
inspire me to try to be more creative and expressive myself.

I don't recognize half the names on the obit list, but that's also fine
for me.  The whole artistic community from the 50's/60's wasn't just
made up of the true geniuses that we've already recognized (Martin
Denny, Esquivel, Yma Sumac) but many others whose talent will never be
discovered by the masses, or who played some minor, but critical role in
the formation of our culture.  These 'lesser' unrecognized names are
also a humble reminder that even though I enjoy the exotica era, I still
know very little about it.  Everytime I see some unknown artist obituary
from that era, my sense of the richness for that era deepens....and the
possibility for further exploration increases

That's all

Subject: Re: (exotica) Dr Death and his obituaries

While we're on the subject of obituaries, I've always wanted to ask the
poster what his/her motivation is for posting them. Does (s)he have to
write them him/herself or are they copied from Reuters or some other news
agency. Or maybe they're copied from a newspaper?
So, Lou please make a personal and public appearance on the list to solve
some mysteries for us. Why do you do it? Where do you get them from? Why do
you feel that we need them? Why do you put so much time and effort into
telling us about the dead?

Thanks in advance for selling the idea of continuous obituaries to me (and
the list)

These answers can't satisfy... Let's face it: This list has developed to
an all-music list, if not general culture discussion forum. According to
the definition of the Exotica list Jack is right to ask the question. On
the other hand: I guess there is nobody in this list, who strictly
listens to Exotica only or wants to exclude all side-information about
the subjects, that come in.

Consequences? We can either close this list down, or leave it, or
reglement it, to make it fit to a more narrow definition, accepting,
that we run out of subjects or appreciate it despite the fact that it
has outgrown its original definition.

I for my part stay here and keep on looking for names that I know in
Lou's death lists.

Oh no, this again! That story originated with me. . . in about 1979 he was
dating one of my housemates at the U of Michigan (and writing music reviews
for the Michigan Daily, if you happen to have kept all your back issues).
He graduated and left town forgetting to repay a loan of, oh, $20 or
so from another friend of mine.

As I mentioned the last time, I would hate to be held accountable for every
bonehead thing *I* did when I was 20.

There was another R.J. Smith story, that I think he was arrested during an
FCC raid on a pirate radio ship operating off NYC? Anyone have details on
that one?

Now Ashley and others, about those liner notes. . . I know the UL notes are
mainly fluff, and I haven't seen the Denny ones, but I thought he got off
one or two interesting points about Baxter in the Capitol _Exotic Moods_
liner notes. Were there some inaccuracies in those too?

Good point, Bump. It's like the mysterious figure that leaves flowers and a

I also thought the Baxter notes were pretty good (except for the section which
basically said Denny was "sipping drinks in Hawaii" until he started playing
"Quiet Village". Even if that was true, this is the same guy who wrote glowingly
about Denny in the Denny comp... Seems a little bit "two-faced").

I think the Denny Scamp liner notes are wonderful! (Note: Denny had a couple
inaccuracies too, including saying Don the Beachcomber invented the Mai Tai...
it really was Trader Vic). But I also think the notes to the UL stuff is good
too, especially as an introduction to this stuff for the "uninitiated". Way back
when, I appreciated the Mondo Exotica notes as a way to get my feet wet.

Its time to dust off the moving coil cartridge on my Stax tonearm and

know.  And the price!  It was the cost of one cd!   I use to haunt
vinyl stores for Cugat/ Prado etc in the late 70's & 80s but all the
exotica cds of the 90s have kept me quite busy (and broke).  Now it
seems like the Big Easy will be good for vinyl hunting. Its hard to
imagine all the wild cats listening to exotic music in the French
Quarter in the 50s & 60s.  All of these records came from one person's
collection according to the store. From some of the other records for
sale it looked like he traveled to Mexico in the mid 60s.  He (or she)
certainly had a taste for the exotic.

Easy listenin in the Big Easy

Subject: (exotica) Peggy Cass, Herman L. Weisman, Sidney Gottlieb

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Peggy Cass, who won a 1957 Tony for her portrayal of Agnes
Gooch in ``Auntie Mame'' on Broadway and reprised the role on film, has
died. She was 74.
    Ms. Cass died at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, said David
Williams, her agent.
    ``She was just a great comedienne,'' Williams said. ``You just have to
remember her for her generous spirit and her charming personality and her
quick one-liners.''
    Agnes Gooch was Mame's young secretary. Ms. Cass won a Tony for the role on
stage and was nominated for an Academy Award for the film musical ``Mame''
starring Rosalind Russell.
    Ms. Cass made her Broadway debut in ``Touch and Go'' and later acted in
``Bernadine'' and ``Oh, Men, Oh, Women.'' She also starred in ``A Thurber
Carnival,'' ``The Front Page'' and ``Agnes of God'' on stage.
    Movie credits included ``The Marrying Kind'' (1952), ``Gidget Goes
Hawaiian'' (1961) and ``If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium'' (1969).
    She is survived by her husband, Eugene Feeney.

March 10, 1999
Peggy Cass, 74, an Actress; Won Tony in 'Auntie Mame'
NEW YORK -- Peggy Cass, a brassy-voiced comedian best known for her
portrayal of the pregnant, unwed secretary in "Auntie Mame," died on Monday
at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital in Manhattan. She was 74 and had homes
in Manhattan and Westhampton, N.Y.
     The cause was heart failure, Eugene Feeney, her husband and only
survivor, said.
     Born in Boston, Mary Margaret Cass succumbed to the lure of Broadway
and moved to New York at 19 after spending three years in the Cambridge
Latin School drama club without winning a single speaking role.
     After turns as a stenographer, telephone operator, advertising
solicitor and model, she finally convinced a producer that she was an
actress. She was cast in a USO tour of "The Doughgirls" and spent seven
months in Australia without stepping into costume because the U.S. Army had
by then moved to the Philippines.
     Her break came when, as an understudy, she took over for Jan Sterling
in Chicago in the national tour of "Born Yesterday." Soon after, the
producer George Abbott hired her for the 1949 Broadway musical "Touch and Go."
     But it was the role of the dimwitted secretary, Agnes Gooch, in the
1956 Broadway show "Auntie Mame" with which Ms. Cass was most associated.
Her performance earned her a Tony Award for best supporting actress. She was
nominated for an Academy Award for her work in the 1958 film version.
     By the late 1950s, Ms. Cass' facility for brash repartee landed her
regular appearances on the television quiz show "Keep Talking." She also
appeared often on "The Jack Paar Show" in the late '50s and early '60s.
     The possessor of an encyclopedic mind, she could be seen during the
'60s as often as seven times a week on the quiz shows "Match Game,"
"Password" and "To Tell the Truth."

                         *Herman L. Weisman
    WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Herman L. Weisman, a former New York
prosecutor who took on the likes of mobsters Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel,
died Sunday at 95.
    Weisman was a Harvard Law graduate who won appointment to special posts in
the New York attorney general's office.
    He helped prosecute members of Murder Inc., a gang of contract killers
organized by Luciano and Siegel.
    Later, in private practice, Weisman counted Eleanor Roosevelt among his
clients.
    He also served as president of several Zionist organizations.

    WASHINGTON, Va. (AP) -- Sidney Gottlieb, who oversaw CIA experiments during
the Cold War that included the use of LSD and other mind-altering drugs on
unwitting test subjects, has died at age 80.
    Gottlieb died Sunday in this small town near the Blue Ridge Mountains where
he had spent his final years tending to dying people in a hospice. His
family withheld the cause of his death.
    The CIA experiments with psychedelics, a project called MKUltra, began at a
time when the agency feared the Soviet Union might use LSD as a chemical
weapon or that China would perfect brainwashing techniques.
    ``We were in a World War II mode,'' John Gittinger, a CIA psychologist who
described Gottlieb as one of the most brilliant men he had ever known, told
The New York Times. ``The war never really ended for us.''
    During the 1950s and early '60s, the CIA gave psychedelic drugs to hundreds
of Americans who were unaware that they were part of the agency's
experiments on mind control.
    The subjects ranged from prisoners and mental patients to military officers
and college students. At least one subject died, others went insane and
others were damaged psychologically, according to firsthand testimony,
government documents and court
records.
    Shortly before his retirement in 1972, Gottlieb concluded that the
experiments had been useless.
    Gottlieb was also involved in CIA assassination plots, the Times reported.
During the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, he carried out orders to
develop a poison handkerchief to kill an Iraqi colonel, toxic gifts for
Fidel Castro and a poison dart to kill a leftist leader in the Congo. None
of the plots succeeded.
    After leaving the CIA, Gottlieb and his wife, Margaret, ran a leprosy
hospital in India for 18 months. They bought a small farm near Boston, Va.,
about 10 miles northwest of Culpeper, and indulged in folk dancing and goat
herding, two lifelong hobbies.

Subject: Re: (exotica) The Mysterious Virus of Dr. Death

Oh, this stuff is getting silly.

First, I highly doubt that anyone has been infected via this list (keeping
in mind the "y'never know" factor).

A virus in an .exe file will not infect your system unless you *run* it.
Delete it without monkeying with it and you're safe. And I don't remember
an .exe file attachment ever coming through from Exotica. I don't really
remember *any* attachments coming through from Exotica (which is a good
thing, as it's bad manners to send attachments through mailing lists).
Maybe Xmission wisely chops out any attachments?

The other major known source for a virus is a Word macro file (as in
Microsoft Word). Again, it would be an attachment (a Word document?) --
don't open it, just delete it -- and you're safe.

Now as for Lou's obits, we just hashed through this several months ago, and
there was a pretty clear majority in favor of them. They're clearly marked
as "obit(s)" in the subject line -- easily deleted unread or filtered out
automatically. May we please move on?
