Thanks for bringing this up. I usually stay away from Dot but last night I
found in a  used furniture shop: Lawrence Welk presents George Cates
Polynesian Percussion, Dot DLP 25355

Our friend at space age pop says it all, and better than I could.
http://home.earthlink.net/~spaceagepop/cates.htm

I swear this exact LP came up a few days ago here on the list but can't find
the post. Must be why it caught my eye.

Every track a winner, hard driving Latino tinged Polynesian exotica.
Unfortunately for me 2 tracks are scratched, one beyond hope.

On the back a diagram similar to those Mercury Cugart disks that describe
where the instruments were in the recording studio with all that bla bla bla
about mics.

Playin' it on the show tomorrow

A partial answer:

The back of the "Music From A Sparkling" Planet"  disk lists about 120 TV
movies and TV shows, including Magum P.I., that have used Esquival recorded
"short mood pieces"  recorded for Universal studios in the 1960's. Since
then they have been used in 100s of TV soundtracks.

INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC mentions "Wrote theme and/or background music"  and
the credits include Magnum PI.

These sources do not tell us that he specifically wrote the theme. Only that
his music was used on the TV show.

Subject: (exotica) Weekend in Cleveland - where to next?

It seems like Nat spent the weekend "living" his film. I say this from
the priveleged position of having seen a recent cut of his film on
the subject of obsessive record collectors. I have this feeling that
the subject of the weekend is one of those collectors Nat interviewed
in the film (and there were some mighty strange people he visited).

Anyway, I hope all of you someday get to see this film (any film
producers on the list may want to drop Nat a line) if anything so you
see for yourself that Nat's weekend experience is no exaggeration!

I found if funny because I've had similar experiences with a guy I've been
buying things from for years. Each year I went back to see him he still
wouldn't sell me the one record I wanted,  in his words ...just in case I
get asked to put together a retrospective of the stuff...  Far as I
know it's still in his closet!

The solution to not falling into the same rut is simple...  Throw out
your want lists!  I know I have maybe 10 or 15 items left on mine and
they're all so obscure I never expect to find any of them anyway, so...

Still, last weekend's visit to Toronto had me looking in Nat's favourite
store but instead of exotica, what do I find  but one of my few
remaining want list items: The Cornelius Cardew Memorial Concert.
I'd actually given up on this one long ago so it was a pleasant surprise.
SO again, my advice is stop taking those want lists seriously... you'll feel
a large burden lifted from your shoulders.  Yeesh,  I feel like I'm
telling my story for some dependency treatment group!

Subject: (exotica) easy on the eye

I've just picked up my first copy of MOJO: The Music Magazine ('cause it has
articles on Captain Beefheart, Skip Spence, Arthur Lee, Viv Stanshall).

In it is the following blurb:
"There was a kind of innocence about it all. It seemed to spill out
anonymously and met its radiogram-owning market with no hint of the hard
sell." That's Simon Robinson, co-curator of Easy On The Eye, a forthcoming
exhibition celebrating the graphic thrills of easy listening LP artwork
during its mid-'50s-to-mid-'70s heyday. "We've got 75 or 80 cracking
sleeves," he says, "that cover everything from exotic Latin fantasies to
new-fangled 'stereo-sound'." Loss, Kaemfert, Last and Montovani devotees are
promised a suitably 'easy' atmosphere.

Easy On The Eye is at the Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool, July 10-October.
Call 0114-2333024.

If any of you are from Lancashire and go to this show, be sure to let us
know if it's any good. I'd esp. be interested in knowing if they have a
catalogue, or other items related to the show, for sale.

Subject: (exotica) Electro-Lounge

I saw a CD today that looked quite intriguing - it's called
"Electro-Lounge", and appears to be remixes and cut-ups of all the
exotica "standards" (Quiet Village, Caravan, etc.) by well-known
electronica artists.  I didn't have a chance to listen to it in the
store, but I'm wondering if anyone else on this list has heard it, and
if it's worth picking up?

Just a quick note to mention that the theme to the Ren & Stimpy
Show, "Dog Pound Hop" was inspired by Chaino's version of "Bongo
Rock". The composer and guitar picker on the song was Spumco's
own Jim Smith. You can stash that away on a 3 by 5 in your

that is not a new concept or practice actually.   here in some of

i believe i had read almost ten years ago the dynamic was discovered

First I didn't want to answer this, but now I have to tell you, that it's of
course not pink you need, but something greenish, like an ordinary neon. Pink
would make the pimples disappear perfectly.

I thought Synthetic Substitution is by Melvin Bliss. The Skull Snaps song
is Its a New Day - massive Hip Hop break. They are a funk bank with a
wicked self titled lp that is very hard to find although its now been
reissued a couple of times. Other than that - zip nada nothing.

What was Trader Vic's? Tiki mecca! TV brought us the
mai-tai, the inauguration and ideal of the polynesian
lounge. I think TV's still exists in NY, SF, LA,
London.... We have a lister whose webpage contains
alot of Vic's lore, photos, mai-tai recipe's, etc...
perhaps he'll chime in for this one.

To digress... the coolest/oldest tiki mug in my
collection came out of "The Waikiki Lounge" in DC. No
one seems to have ever heard of the place.

>the moon.

    OJAI, Calif., July 8 (UPI) -- Charles ``Pete'' Conrad, Jr., the third man
to walk on the moon, has been killed in a motorcycle accident. He was 69.
    The California Highway Patrol reports that Conrad was riding a motorcycle
Thursday afternoon when he lost control and ran off the road near Ojai,
northwest of Los Angeles. Authorities say Conrad was thrown from the vehicle
and suffered massive internal injuries. He died about six hours later at a
hospital.
    Conrad flew four missions for NASA, spending more than 1,180 hours in
space. He most visible trip came on Apollo 12, when he became the third man
to step on the moon. He also flew two Gemini missions and spent a
then-record 28 days in space aboard Skylab 2 in 1973.
    Most recently, Conrad was working with a company planning to make vacations
in space available to the public.
    Conrad is one of just 12 men to have walked on the moon. His was an almost
stereotypical image of a daring, devil-may-care astronaut with a penchant
for race cars and water skiing.
    ``Funny, noisy, colorful, cool, competent; snazzy dresser, race-car
driver,'' astronaut Michael Collins wrote describing Conrad. ``One of the
few who lives up to the image. Should play Pete Conrad in a Pete Conrad
movie.''
    Conrad only enhanced that image when he left his spacecraft and stepped
onto the lunar surface, saying, ``Whoopee! That may have been one small
(step) for Neil (Armstrong), but it's a long one for me!''
    In the 1970s, Conrad appeared in a series of television commercials for
American Express, asking, ``Do you known me? I walked on the moon.''
    ``Up until that time,'' Conrad told author Andrew Chaikin in his 1994 book
``A Man on the Moon,'' ``I could go anywhere, and nobody knew me. I did that
American Express commercial, and while that sumbitch was running, I couldn't
take a leak -- I remember trying to take a leak in Philadelphia and a guy
standing there says 'I know you!'''
    Conrad was born June 2, 1930, in Philadelphia. He received a bachelor of
science degree in aeronautical engineering from Princeton University in
1953, when he joined the Navy to become a pilot.
    Conrad attended the Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Md., and
later served as a flight instructor and test pilot at the fabled training
facility.
    He was selected to become an astronaut in September 1962. His first flight
came on Aug. 21, 1965, when he and Gordon Cooper, one of the original seven
astronauts, blasted off aboard Gemini 5.
    The duo established a space endurance record of 190 hours and 56 minutes in
orbit, which pushed the United States ahead of the Soviet Union for the
first time in the number of man hours in space for each country.
    Conrad, Gordon and Alan Bean blasted off aboard Apollo 12 for the second
manned flight to the moon on Nov. 14, 1969.
    With Gordon orbiting overhead in the command module, Conrad and Bean
executed a pinpoint touchdown in the moon's Ocean of Storms within a stone's
throw of an old robot Surveyor spacecraft that touched down on the lunar
surface in April 1967.
    ``Hey, there it is! There it is! Son of a gun, right down the middle of the
road,'' Conrad radioed as the lander, named Intrepid, began its final descent.
    Conrad was first out of the Intrepid followed moments later by Bean.
    The two spent seven hours and 45 minutes strolling about, collecting
samples of rock and lunar soil, deploying experiment packages and snipping
off parts of Surveyor for return to Earth to determine the long-term effects
of the lunar environment.
    Conrad returned to space on May 25, 1973, as commander of the first Skylab
space station mission. His crewmates were Joseph Kerwin and Paul Weitz.
    When the giant space station was launched May 14, 1973, a micrometeoroid
shield that also served to reflect heat from the craft ripped away.
Compounding the space station's problems, a solar wing was jammed and
refused to deploy. But engineers quickly devised a scheme for Conrad's crew
to repair the spacecraft.
    The astronauts were able to erect a blanket-like parasol over the portion
of the space station exposed to the sun and they freed the jammed solar
panel during a spacewalk.
    In the end, the crew completed 46 of 55 scheduled experiments before
returning to Earth on June 22, 1973.
    After serving 11 years as an astronaut, Conrad retired and became vice
president of American Television and Communications Corp. of Denver.
    In 1976, the veteran astronaut became a vice president for international
sales of McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Corp. and was promoted in 1980 to
senior vice president for marketing.
    From 1991 to 1993, he helped develop and test the DC-X ``Delta Clipper''
reusable rocket, an unmanned, sub-scale prototype of a proposed manned
single-stage-to-orbit launcher.
    His 1953 marriage to former Jane DuBose, ended in divorce. In 1990, he
married the former Nancy Fortner, an editor he met on a blind date. Between
them, the couple had five grown sons. A sixth, Conrad's youngest, died of
cancer in 1990 at age 29. Conrad and his wife lived in Huntington Beach, Calif.

    OJAI, Calif. (AP) -- Former astronaut Charles P. ``Pete'' Conrad, who in
1969 became the third man to walk on the moon, uttering an exuberant
``Whoopie!'' as he stepped on the lunar surface, died in a motorcycle
accident. He was 69.
    Conrad, who also flew two Gemini missions in the 1960s and commanded first
Skylab mission in 1973, crashed on a turn yesterday on Highway 150 near Ojai
and died five hours later at Ojai Valley Community Hospital.
    Conrad, who lived in Huntington Beach near Los Angeles, was on a trip to
Monterey with his wife, Nancy, and friends, Ventura County Deputy Coroner
James Baroni said.
    Baroni said Conrad's injuries didn't initially appear to be severe, but he
got worse after arriving at the hospital. He had some chest pain and had
more trouble breathing.
    ``He showed that he had some type of internal bleeding and they needed to
do exploratory surgery,'' Baroni said. But doctors were unable to revive him.
    Just this spring, Conrad joked that he was looking forward to the day he
would turn 77.
    ``I fully expect that NASA will send me back to the moon, as they treated
Sen. (John) Glenn. And if they don't do otherwise, why, then I'll have to do
it myself,'' he declared.
    Glenn became the oldest person in space at age 77 aboard the shuttle
Discovery last year. Like Glenn, Conrad's passion for space exploration
never diminished. In 1995, he formed several companies with the goal of
commercializing space.
    ``He was going back to space as an entrepreneur, trying to create ways for
rockets to launch inexpensively and manage satellites,'' Mrs. Conrad said
Thursday evening.
    NASA selected Conrad, an aeronautical engineer and Navy test pilot, as an
astronaut in 1962, three years after the first seven astronauts were
announced. He piloted the eight-day Gemini 5 mission in 1965, which set an
endurance record in orbiting the earth. A year later, Conrad commanded
Gemini 11, which docked with another craft during orbit and set a space
altitude record of 850 miles.
    As commander of the Apollo 12 mission in November 1969, Conrad earned the
distinction of being the third man to walk on the moon after bringing the
lunar module down in the moon's Ocean of Storms.
    The first two moonwalkers were Neil Armstrong and Edwin ``Buzz'' Aldrin,
who landed there 30 years ago this month, on July 20, 1969. Armstrong's
first words became famous: ``That's one small step for (a) man, one giant
leap for mankind.''
    When the 5-foot-6 Conrad stepped onto the surface four months later, he
exclaimed with his trademark sense of humor: ``Whoopie! That may have been a
small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me.''
    Conrad and astronaut Alan Bean spent seven hours and 45 minutes on the
lunar surface. Among their tasks was installing a nuclear power generating
station to provide a power source for long-term experiments.
    During the 28-day Skylab flight in May-June 1973, Conrad established a
personal endurance record for time in space by bringing his total flight
time to 1,179 hours and 38 minutes. He called his last mission in space the
most satisfying, working to repair the damage Skylab suffered during its
liftoff.
    After retiring from NASA and the Navy in 1973, he worked as chief operating
officer of American Television and Communications Corp. in Denver and later
for McDonnell Douglas Corp., the aviation manufacturer.
    Among his numerous awards were the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, two
NASA Distinguished Service Medals, two NASA Exceptional Service Medals, two
Navy Distinguished Service Medals and two Distinguished Flying Crosses. He
was enshrined in the Aviation Hall of Fame in 1980.
    The Philadelphia native is the third of the 12 original moon walkers to
die. James Irwin of Apollo 15 died in 1991 and Alan Shepard of Apollo 14
died a year ago.
    In reflecting on the upcoming 30th anniversary of Apollo 11, Conrad
recently said, ``Time flies when you're having fun, and I've been having fun
for the last 30 years.''
    Conrad, who divorced his first wife, is survived by his second wife, three
sons and seven grandchildren. A son preceded him in death.
    Funeral arrangements were pending.
