Anyway, the incredible Sun Ra discography will be available again in book form

For the fans:

Crocodile Dundee Model
Rodney Ansell, an Australian bushman who inspired the
1986 hit movie "Crocodile Dundee" has been killed in a
shootout with police in the outback. Police said he
shot and killed a policeman by a roadblock south
of Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, on Aug.
3 before being shot dead by the officer's partner.

Local media said Mr. Ansell, once named Territorian of
the Year, was the role model for Paul Hogan's
knife-slinging outback hero Crocodile Dundee. Ken
Shadie, who wrote "Crocodile Dundee" with Hogan and
John Cornell, had seen a television interview with
Ansell by British journalist Michael Parkinson. That
interview fired Hogan's imagination about a bushman
superstar that led to the making of the first Dundee
film.

Police could not explain Mr. Ansell's action, but said
he might have been involved in a shooting incident on
Monday night after which the roadblock was set up on
the lonely Stuart Highway. Assistant Commissioner John
Daulby told reporters Mr. Ansell could easily have
evaded the roadblock but instead shot at a policeman
from behind some bushes.

Trader Vic's To Host Free Polynesian Party at David Berkley's August 6-7

Come Taste the World(r) of Trader Vic's when Peter Seely - grandson of
"Trader Vic" Bergeron, legendary restaurateur and inventor of the Mai Tai -
brings a Polynesian feast to David Berkley Fine Wines & Specialty Foods in
the Pavilions Shopping Center (Fair Oaks Boulevard and Howe Avenue) in
Sacramento August 6-7.

>From 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, August 6 and 12:00 Noon to 4 p.m. on
Saturday, August 7, free tastes of the exotic dishes and tropical cocktails
served in Trader Vic's world-famous restaurants will be available, along
with the Trader Vic's Food & Beverage Products that make it possible to
duplicate these unique dishes at home.

Seely will share his grandfather's exclusive recipes at David Berkley's in
Pavilions amid
12-foot tall Tiki statues and a huge dugout canoe that once graced the
South Seas-style interior of one of the Trader's original restaurants.
Twenty restaurants operate throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and
the Middle East, while seven more are under construction. The original
Trader Vic's restaurant opened in Oakland in 1934. The Trader invented the
Mai Tai there in 1944 and introduced it throughout the Hawaiian Islands via
the Matson Steamship Lines in the 1950s.

David Berkley Fine Wines and Specialty Foods is Northern California's
hallmark purveyor of beautiful things to eat and drink. Both hot and cold
meals prepared Trader Vic's-style by David Berkley's chef Matt Woolston and
his staff will be available for purchase and take-out at this Polynesian
Party, along with a connoisseur's collection of products.

A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit River Oak Center for
Children.

For more information, call 916-929-4422.

Hiya,

>-Peter

Actually, whenever I write something and sign my name to it, it *is*
my personal opinion. I don't feel the need to put IMHO after stuff,
because... well... because I'm not humble! hehe

>I don't like music simply because it's weird.  I like it because it
>appeals to me, and I've spent the majority of my adult life trying to
>figure out why, but sometimes, it just does.

I think about what I watch and listen to and come up with theories
as to why one thing is better than another. None of these ideas are
cast in stone. My theories evolve and refine as time goes by, but
for me, having an idea of *why* I like something is useful for
using as a yardstick to determine what *else* I might like. I pay
attention to music, and don't use it as a pass-time or to set a
background mood. I consciously listen and analyze what I hear. When
I come up with an opinion based on the listening I may be wrong,
but at least I have an operating theory.

Interestingly enough, after I posted, I received private email
from one person who admitted that he also preferred Lyman to
Denny and another who said he found Esquivel to be gimmmicky
as well, so I guess I am not altogether alone on this. Some
music wears better than others. When I first heard Denny and
Esquivel years ago, I initially liked it because it was so
different from what I had heard before. As I heard more in
similar genres I became more interested in the musicality
and less interested in the novelty value. I really don't
dislike either of them, I just don't listen to them as
much as some other people working in the same vein.

The post that mentioned that Lyman is thought to be more
"jazzy" and less elaborate than Denny clarified for me one of
the main reasons I like him. Lyman's music sounds much more
spontaneous and the jazz phrasing is quite inspired. There
isn't the sound of over-rehersal or over-arrangement in his
stuff. It sounds more like a band jamming and bouncing riffs
off of each other. Lyman did go downhill later on... everyone
does. The first few of everything are always the best I guess.
(That's another theory there!)

>BTW, the cheeziest music I hear today is contemporary adult,
>modern "country", smooth jazz, or modern "R&B".

I would widen that to include just about any music that falls
under the categories of "current" or "contemporary". (...yet
another theory!)

We live in the golden age of cheeze. As Madge the Manicurist
was wont to say... "YOU'RE SOAKIN' IN IT!"

See ya

Aww com'on give this guy a fair deal.
Nero's a great "second stinger" or someone to get into when you broaden your
tastes within exotica. It took me a while to get into piano records and Nero
is one of the people I've grown to appreciate.  Where I find boredom and
classical attitudes in Roger Williams and Liberace, Nero on the other hand
carefully skirts this and has a nice up tempo touch, and the four albums that
I have a fairly listenable and each has at least a couple of fun tunes. Most
albums are produced by Marty Gold, which although being no guarantee, its can
be an assurance of a certain "square hipness".
Am I giving the impression that this guy is not to be written off but also not
to be too excited about? Good that's what I was aiming for.
BTW I'm excluding the previously mentioned album from my description since I
am neither a fan of "Hair" or the moog.

The impression given is a rephrasing of an earlier

many chipper piano records, nothing impressive.

Yes, indeed.
Brass Impact--Goin' Someplace
Command RS 935 SD

It has:
Song of India, The Japanese Sandman, Bei Mir Bist du Schon,
Volare, Goin' Someplace, It's A Big Wide Wonderful World,
Istanbul, On My Mind, Tequila, Let's Get Away From It All
and Cielito Lindo.

I have heard that this was the final one for the Bass Impact series.

I got a picture of Mr. Kime recently!  It is from a jazz quintet recording
featuring Warren Kime.  Not exotica, but nice to finally see him.

He has at least one "later" record with late sixties and early seventies
tunes that I kind of like.  Can't remember the name of it but the cover is
very "Now Sound" looking.  But you probably wouldn't like it enough to give
it much thought.
I'm sure there are exceptions but at this point I pretty well don't dismiss
anyone in the "easy listening" genre.  Ever since someone played me a
couple of wacky and beautiful Roger Williams cuts, I've tried to keep an
open-ish mind.
You can basically ignore Peter Duchin but I have one record - "Comin Home
Baby" - which is his version of funky jazz fusion and it works. In its way.
And there are certainly A LOT of Werner Muller and Klaus Wunderlich records
that bear ignoring.  But not all.
The first five or six Stanley Black records I heard were dreary string things.
And the list goes on.  Kostelanatz, Percy Faith, even Lawrence Welk.  I've
heard all of them used in DJ sets to great effect.
One of the "reasons" you can't ignore most of them lies in their obvious
need to appeal to every market they could identify.  In their zeal to cross
over, occasionally they stumbled across ideas that, at least in retrospect,
are brilliant.
Then again, if one or two great cuts isn't enough for you, then you can
ignore a few more artists.

I do pick up Andy Williams records by the way.  All the time.  Again,
mostly late sixties and early seventies.  His version of "God Only Knows"
is lovely and his style is perfect for numbers like Carole King's "It's too
late".  And then there are his occasional duets with his slippery-fingered
wife Claudine.
He's no Jack Jones but he had a lovely voice and good arrangers and if you
like the tune, you'll probably like his version.

As far as Streisand goes, uh, she has a great voice but I do avoid her
records.  We all draw our own lines and then erase a few.

I've loved him since I was a kid.  I wore down the grooves on his greatest
hits record.  "Town Without Pity".  "It hurts to be in love".
There was no connection between his bombastic style and pretty well
everything else I loved in those days but I loved it anyway.
I still buy his stuff when I see it and keep discovering new gems.
"Last Chance to turn around" which was the last cut on the greatest hits
but somehow I missed it all those years.
"Last two people on earth".  (With his style, "last" seems to fit.)
And a Jagger-Richards tune I must have missed.  "The Girl Belongs to
Yesterday"

Somehow I think Pitney is one of the connections to the kind of stuff I
love now.  I could even make another Scott Walker analogy but I won't.

I have a couple of compilations on CBS (Columbia I suppose to our
transatlantic cousins) 'Super Stereo Spectacular'  One has Les and Larry
Elgart doing 'Music to watch Girls By' and John Barry 'You only live twice'.
The other has Mongo Santamarias 'Louie Louie'  (indeed excellent,  that
Andrew Edgar isn't wrong all the time),  and some other nice tracks on it.
Now they're not numbered and I've not seen any others, can anyone tell me
more about them?

Are there many of them?  Are any others worth having?

I quite like the sleeves too, they have nice Op Art effects along the top
and are covered in that really shiny film.  Although there is no proper
track listing on them.

Thanks

Never seen any others...

The sleeves are great. Probably the best bit. I've only seen a couple of the
lps featured themselves, the dullish Charlie Byrd ones.
Do I have no taste, or is that Stan Butcher 'Winchester Cathedral' track
rather good as well? (Where is that track from, btw? i've got several versions
of it now...)

I've only ever two compilations. I've got a few of the albums in the
series, though. The pick of the lot is Andre Brasseur's "Tasty",
simply because of the truly outstanding "Mad Train" (fantastic hammond
+ drums). Charlie Byrd's "Brazilian Byrd" is nice, bossa on acoustic
guitar, including a version of "Limehouse Blues"! Have a couple of
albums by The Fluegel Knights, fairly dull. That's all I can think of
right now.

IIRC, it was originally a big hit for "The New Vaudeville Band", a
kind of sub-Bonzos trad-wave group (I've never actually heard the
band). Somehow it became a standard -- there are umpteen versions of
it. The Paul Mauriat interpretation is quite a stonker, probably the
best I've heard; Rudy Valle did a bloody frightening "vocal through a
megaphone by a guy who can't sing" version; Chim  Kothari and George
Martin both do versions incorporating sitar; Perry and Kingsley
moog-ified it; and so on.

Hey!  Back from a two-day convelesence with "news"

this morning at around 7:35 am.  The show "rolls over"
to different hours, and I am in the Eastern time

Subject: (exotica) Various Old Stuff/Ray Mcvay

Hey exoticats.

Interested to read of recent list members' vinyl discoveries. I too have
"Beatles go Bossa" (25p) and "Sounds of Sitar" (one whole  English pound)
with its' sitarrrrrrised version of "Eleanor Rigby" or some such. Mmmm.
Nice.

Or how about "How to pass your driving test" on UK Decca from about 1965
(also one pound) which is entirely spoken instructions on that very thing!!
It's a hoot. The sleeve says the LP was to be the first in a series of
useful everyday instructional releases. I'd love to know what were the
others. "How To Go To The Corner Shop" perhaps?

meanwhile someone said:

"Ray McVay is generally crap but on this occasion, he excels himself with an
amazing track (and a very dodgy photo on the back cover). The rest of the
lp is pants of course."

I absolutely agree - far too many "Ray Plays Ballroom Greats" LPs which your
Aunt Dolly might have purchased in Woolies c.1972 (hm, my Aunt Dolly would
have done it for nothing). But Ray did in the mid-60s record at least two
KILLER Swingin London/Carnaby St music 45s for UK Pye, "Revenge" (yes the
Kinks song) and "Kinda Kinky" both of which appear on that Sequel compo of a
few yrs back, "The Easy Project". If you find these original records then
snap them up, and furthermore, give them straight to me <g>.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Richard Anthony Marion, who went from a role
on TV's 1970s comedy ``Operation Petticoat'' to directing recent
episodes of ``Everybody Loves Raymond,'' died July 19 from a
heart attack. He was 50.

                  Marion was a founding member of the San Francisco
Bay Area's Magic Theater, which became known for its presentation
of cutting-edge playwrights like Sam Shepard.

                  Marion played Pharmacist's Mate Williams on
the 1977-79 ABC-TV series ``Operation Petticoat,'' a comedy set
on a submarine in World War II. He later directed episodes of
the 1989-92 ABC comedy ``Anything but Love'' and the CBS show
``Everybody Loves Raymond.''

                  He died three days before ``Everybody Loves
Raymond'' was nominated for a comedy series Emmy Award.

                  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Gene Weed, a producer and
director of television specials and awards shows for more than
25 years, died Thursday of cancer. Weed was 64.

                  Weed's varied entertainment career included
15 years as a top radio disc jockey, host of the 1960s syndicated
television show ``Shivaree,'' seven years as board chairman of
The Academy of Country Music and a recent election as president
of that organization.

                  He was a pioneer in the field of what has become
music videos, producing and directing more than 200 films of
performances by artists including Glen Campbell, The Fifth Dimension,
Creedence Clearwater Revival and Debby Boone.

                  Weed joined dick clark productions inc. in
the 1970s, and became its senior vice president for television.
Beginning in 1974 he produced, directed or performed both roles
for several annual television shows including the ``Golden Globe
Awards'' and ``The Academy of Country Music Awards.'' He also
was producer-director of the ``Hot Country Nights'' series on
NBC 1991-92 and its revival in 1994-95 on The Nashville Network.


                  Weed produced or directed dozens of television
specials including the three-hour ``Live Aid'' concert on ABC,
Live Aid III and IV, and a 90-minute special preceding the 1994
World Cup soccer tournament, viewed by an estimated 750 million
people around the world.

Great testimony.  Had the animal and bird noises not

I think it's a stroke of serendipitous brilliance!
There are great "accidents" in art and in recording
arts/film in particular.  David Lynch left *in* a lot
of the "mistakes" that make TWIN PEAKS first season so
great, random and off-kilter(what IS a kilter?!?)
And obviously those bird calls inspired the album I
mention too much, EXOTIC PERCUSSION AND BRILLIANT
BRASS.  Screaming apes! Yes!  It also obviously
inspried a lot of that ranting primative rock and
sleaze on the JUNGLE EXOTICA and LAS VEGAS GRIND
comps.
I should add that I am not all into gimmick, as I
prefer most of the Les Baxter arrangements, to those
that Denny used when doing Baxter's material,
especially...gasp...QUIET VILLAGE!
