It's mostly uninteresting orchestral stuff, but there is also one
uninteresting disco track. I don't think I've ever sat down and
listened through it. Shame. There is also a spoken word LP, "The Saga
Of Battlestar Galactica", which gives you the story (plus a few sound
FX, IIRC).

From the perspective of contemporary pop, he's not so wrong. But as everything
starting with "contemporary" seems to be off-topic here, I better shut up.

Subject: (exotica) Help with Lyman CD tracks

The track listings in both the booklet and on the back cover of "The Legend
of Pele" (Rykodisc RCD 50432) don't match up with the order on the CD
itself, viz:

Printed track list with timings:
 1. 3:12 Pele
 2. 2:22 Fire Down Below
 3. 1:47 Hana Pele
 4. 3:53 Cumana
 5. 2:48 Ye Lai Sian
 6. 4:03 Hana Maui
 7. 4:51 Scheherazade
 8. 4:20 Magic Islands
 9. 2:55 Fascination
10. 3:37 Cubana Chant
11. 2:34 Tropical
12. 2:12 76 Trombones

On the CD itself:
 1. 3:18 Pele
 2. 2:29
 3. 3:13
 4. 1:54
 5. 4:13 Hana Maui
 6. 3:57 Cumana
 7. 5:04 Scheherazade
 8. 3:49 Cubana Chant
 9. 4:35 Magic Islands
10. 2:40
11. 3:09 Fascination
12. 2:17 76 Trombones

Timings indicate that "Fire Down Below" on track 2 might be correct, and
that "Hana Pele" is probably on track 4. As far as "Tropical " goes, I'll
be darned if I can hear anything here that sounds like Morton Gould's own
version on his "Jungle Drums" CD. Can anybody help fit in the missing
pieces? My inner librarian will be most grateful.

Oh man, this is how bad rumors get started! I should have said "Late-period
Lenny Dee LPs got into shmoozed-out easy listening. . . " (I was thinking
of the scary ones on MCA.)

But as far as I know he's still alive, and tearing up the keyboards at
those Florida shopping mall openings, (or whatever it was you said he was
doing these days).

In fact I once meant to ask, you didn't by any chance keep an address or
any contact info for him? I bet he'd get a kick out of getting fanmail,
birthday greetings, etc. from his fans on this list. . .  Personally I'd
love to tell him that _Dee-Latin_ is still one of the most scorching
Hammond LPs I've found. . .

Subject: (exotica) Fantastic Plastic Machine

I guess it also owed to the subtropic temperatures and the incredibly
enthusiastic Spanish audience, but the gig of Tanaka aka Fantastic
Plastic Machine was the best live experience I have had this year. When
many at the mediterranean Benicassim-open air were sick from all the
Rock all the time by the likes of Suede, Charlatans and even Blur, he
fired a broadside of electronic dancefloor hammers just in the right
moment and with amazing impact. Pure excitement. For the first half hour
of his gig he was god. DJing at its best! His secret? "Cheesy" melodies
- - not always but every once in a while. Makes you smile.

As for our own gig I can only say, it was so hot, I almost fainted in my
bear-costume and Andreas Dorau, the singer, had a break-down after the
concert. The organizer of the festival, some called him the Godfather,
personally apologized to him for the weather... that's what I call
megalomania!

The same thing occurs on the otherwise excellent copy of Lyman's
"Hawaiian Sunset", though this only affects the 4 bonus tracks which are
easily recognizable.

Kind of surprising, since my impression was the Ryko had a good
reputation for this sort of thing.

Any good or bad things to say about the album (now out of print)
"Bachelor in Paradise, the best of Martin Denny".

I noticed a couple tracks (most notably Moon Of Manakoora) don't appear
on other Denny CD reissues (as far as I know).

Is this thing worth tracking down used?

If Barry made one record as genuinely hot - and cool - as Percy's "Black

The LSA prefix on RCA rekkids is for the Stereo Action series.
Nineteen releases in all, not including the aborted "Percussion
Playful and Pretty" (which came out as a Victor Record Club
release instead of Stereo Action), if I'm remembering correctly.

I remember it with some vague fondness, but it's been quite a while.
According to my notes it was scheduled for a US CD rerelease a few weeks ago.

The one to be looking for, of course, is Giorgio Moroder's album-length
"shades-of-Meco" reworking with the half-naked space chick on the cover...

I think Mr. Manilow likes to screw with people's heads in his interviews. I
read one several years ago where he was raving about Tom Waits, and wishing
he could sing like Tom.

Which may give *us* mixed reactions, but imagine the straight-ahead,
mainstream Manilow fan who reads the interview and says, "Oooo, Barry likes
this -- I'll go buy it!"

Or perhaps Manilow genuinely has hip tastes as a listener... but when it
comes to his own career he knows upon which side of his bread the butter
(or non-dairy substitute) is applied.

I just remembered... a relative of mine works with a woman who has an
over-the-top Manilow obsession. She claims that she's Barry's wife and uses
her vacations for stalking excursions. Something for Mr. M to "be VERY
afraid" about.

Isn't Barry already married... to Jim Nabors?  Do I have that mixed up?

Subject: (exotica) The death of a Shatner

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The wife of actor William
Shatner was found dead in the swimming pool of their
North Hollywood home, Los Angeles police said early
Tuesday.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said
Shatner had arrived at his home at about 10 p.m. PDT
Monday night and found his wife, Nerine Kidd,
unconscious in the swimming pool.

``He pulled her from the pool and called 911. He
listened to the 911 operator's instructions and tried
to perform CPR but he was unsuccessful,'' the
spokesman, who identified himself as Officer Rhone,
said in a telephone interview.

``The paramedics arrived at the scene and she was
pronounced dead,'' he said. Rhone said there was no
further information about the death and that an
investigation was ongoing.

Shatner, 68, is best known for his role as Captain
James T. Kirk in the 1960s ``Star Trek'' television
series.

Kidd, 40, was Shatner's third wife.

Subject: (exotica) Bob Crewe - painter man

A roundabout tale.  I bought Chers versions of 'Walk on Guilded Splinters'
c/w 'Tonight I'll be staying here with you'  A very fine single produced by
Jerry Wexler,  Hot,  Dirty, Sweaty funky RnB....(any recommendations of
similar appreciated).  I was quite amazed at how good they were and started
looking up Wexler on the web,  were I found a conversation with Bob Crewe
where he said he wasn't doing music but had really got into painting.

What is it with Artists who are great at one thing suddenly giving it all up
when they get a bit old and turning to paint?
Bob Crewe,
Don van Vliet (the good captain),
William S Burroughs,
Anthony Quinn........
I don't know,  I just can't imagine they'd be as good at painting as the
original art.  Beefhearts were OK,  Quinns were bearable,  I suppose
Burroughs' were suitably odd (painted wood shot to hell with a shotgun).  I
didn't search these out,  I'll add.

Just a thought,  work is slow,  and the paint fumes from next door are
starting to get a grip......

so I don't know if it is as wonderful as doing music!  I applaud their

world on their painting skills alone, where it not for their reputations as
singers/musicians preceding them?

Subject: (exotica) [obits]John Dortch ``Booty'' Lewis Sr.,Victor Mature,Carnie Wilson's flab

GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- John Dortch ``Booty'' Lewis Sr., a Goldsboro
insurance executive whose World War II exploits were chronicled
in part in the movie ``The Great Escape,'' died Sunday of pancreatic
cancer. He was 84.

                  Well before the United States entered World
War II, Lewis joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and flew fabric-covered
Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during Great Britain's darkest
days of the conflict.

                  Wounded and with his plane badly damaged on
a mission over France, Lewis managed to get the aircraft back
across the English Channel and crashed in the British countryside.


                  Grounded by the RCAF because of extensive injuries,
Lewis transferred to the U.S. Air Force.

                  Later, leading a flight of P-39 Bell Airacobra
fighters, he was shot down in North Africa and captured after
eluding German troops in the desert for almost two weeks.

                  He spent most of the next two years in Germany's
Stalag Luft III. That was the prison camp from which prisoners
of war tunneled to freedom in an escape later to be made into
a movie, ``The Great Escape,'' starring Steve McQueen.

                  Many of the exploits portrayed by McQueen were
based on escape attempts and other activities by Lewis.

                  RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif. (AP) -- Victor Mature,
the brawny star of the 1940s and '50s who played Samson in ``Samson
and Delilah'' and Doc Holliday in John Ford's ``My Darling Clementine,''
died Wednesday of cancer. He was 86.

                  Tall, dark-haired and muscular, with heavy-lidded
eyes and a full mouth, Mature earned the nickname ``beautiful
hunk of man'' in films like ``One Million B.C.'' and ``Song of
the Islands.''

                  While first making his name as a glamour-boy
star with a devil-may-care attitude, he gradually gained more
critical respect in the late 1940s in such films as ``Cry of
the City'' and ``Kiss of Death.''

                  He appeared in musicals, Westerns, comedies,
historical epics and melodramas.

                  In ``My Darling Clementine,'' 1946, he was
Doc Holliday to Henry Fonda's Wyatt Earp. The version of the
fabled gunfight at the O.K. Corral is considered one of Ford's
greatest films.

                  Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 telling of the saga
of Samson and Delilah cast Mature and Hedy Lamarr in the title
roles. It was a smash hit.

                  Among Mature's other films: ``The Shanghai
Gesture,'' 1941, directed by Josef von Sternberg; ``My Gal Sal,''
1942, with Rita Hayworth; ``I Wake Up Screaming,'' 1941, with
Betty Grable; ``Wabash Avenue,'' 1950, again with Miss Grable;
``The Robe,'' 1953, as the slave Demetrius; a sequel, ``Demetrius
and the Gladiators, 1954; and ``Chief Crazy Horse,'' 1954, with
Mature in the title role.


 CARNIE WILSON'S OBESITY SURGERY IS LIVE ON-LINE
 By CATHY BURKE
 NY Post 10 AUG 99
 ----------------------------------------------------
 Singer and ex-gab show hostess Carnie Wilson, who's battled
obesity all her life, is doing something drastic about it today
- - live on the 'Net.

 In a procedure most people would find tough to stomach, Beach
Boy Brian Wilson's 31-year-old daughter will go under the knife
at 3 p.m. for a gastric bypass.

 On-line voyeurs can see it at http://www.adoctorinyourhouse.com.
Wielding the scalpel on the former vocalist with the trio Wilson
Phillips will be Dr. Alan Wittgrove, a specialist in the procedure.


 Doctors in New York yesterday applauded Wilson's courage in
going public with her surgical battle of the bulge, and said
the procedure, which has been done for over 10 years, has helped
thousands of others.

 "It's important for people to be aware of this [procedure] as
a valid treatment for the seriously obese patient," said Dr.
Louis Aronne, medical director of the New York Presbyterian Center
for Obesity Surgery.

 "Though it's not a miracle cure, there's evidence to support
it as a reasonable treatment."

 The gastric bypass, to be performed in San Diego, will reduce
Wilson's stomach to about the size of a thumb, and then attach
it directly to the small intestine.

 As a result, Wilson won't be able to stomach the amount of food
she used to eat. In addition, the food she eats will be expelled
before it's fully digested.

 "The reason the surgery works is that it is forced behavior

 modification that goes everywhere with the patient," said Dr.
Mitchell Roslin at the Maimonides Center for Obesity Surgery
in Brooklyn.

 Aronne said most people lose an average of 60 percent of their
excess body weight after the procedure. That means that if someone
weighed 300 pounds, they'd lose 90 pounds.

 The hefty songbird - who's never revealed her actual weight
- - wasn't commenting about her decision to have the surgery on
the information highway.

 But she has spoken often, and emotionally, about her weight
problem. "I'm fat. I'm a big girl," she said in a 1996 interview
with "Radiance" magazine.

 "It's my feelings about myself that I think about. I feel attractive,
I present myself well ... That image has been good for heavy
people. I'm proud of that. I feel like a spokesperson for heavier
women."

 She also has said her size has been a source of blatant
 discrimination, including a time in 1993 when a kid asked his
father, "Why is she so fat?"

 "It took me right back to my childhood and being teased, of
thinking I was no good," she recalled.
