Subject: (exotica) Il Giaguaro - Italian magazine

Il Giaguaro

Editorial Entertainment Magazine


Il Giaguaro is a periodical publication with a quarterly deadline,

composed of a minimum of 56 color pages, with a centerfold poster and an


audio or video bonus included in each issue.  The cover-price is 15,000

Italian lire.

Il Giaguaro's topics are various: art, fashion, music, cinema,

photography, comics, theatre, design, motors, etc.  A magazine made to

truly divulge and entertain at the same time.  But the peculiarity of Il


Giaguaro lies in the fact that, out of the various arts, what is taken

into consideration is all that which was truly revolutionary and

avant-garde.  In particular, everything which emerged from the two most

productive decades of the twentieth century, the 60's and 70's.  Inside,


we will once again be able to read Michael Pergolani's interviews with

Cassius Clay, when he was still the undisputed king of the ring, with

Francis Bacon at the peak of his artistic enthusiasm, but also Lewis

Coates's interviews with Roger Corman, when he had just finished

shooting Wild Angels with Peter Fonda and Nancy Sinatra.  Il Giaguaro

will reprint the first Italian horror comics, by Alfredo Castelli (who

is now the scriptwriter for Martin Mystere), we will speak of TV serials


produced by RAI between the end of the 60's and the 70's, such as Il

Segno del Comando, Ritratto di Donna Velata, A.. come Andromeda, Dr.

Jekyll by Giorgio Albertazzi, etc.  We will publish interviews with Ugo

Pagliai and other stars of this stimulating television season.

We will hear the words of film-music authors such as Trovajoli,

Piccioni, Umiliani and Alessandroni, who will introduce us themselves to


the magic world of the "made in Italy soundtrack", which, nowadays, is

going through a second period of youth.

The centerfold poster is dedicated to the history of erotic

photography.  There will be room for the photographers who, through

their shots, decidedly accelerated the emancipation process of the

sexual customs of the Italians.

The most prestigious motors, the most luxurious automobiles, the fastest


ones, the various models and their perforinances, will all be covered in


a section especially dedicated to this issue.

"Metti una sera a cena con...": in this section, the chef of Il Giaguaro


will give us a taste of ecstasy with recipes and fiavors inspired by

various movie sets, where cuisine, especially in Italian cinema, is

ever-present.  Plus, record and film reviews.  Ample space will be

dedicated to Italian cinema, from Fellini to Mario Bava, with articles,

interviews and never seen before photographs of the main characters.

Il Giaguaro is a magazine which looks back, but with an eye on the

present-day, through a historical recovery filled with irony and passion


for the themes being covered.  The revival can be made with good taste

and depth.

.... may Il Giaguaro be with you....


IT'S OUT NOW!

(Inside "Il Giaguaro n=B0 0" an EP with some unreleased tracks of Ennio

Morricone and

an interview with Byron Werner about the origin of Space Age Bachelor

Pad Music.)

I agree with Larry; any Enoch Light percussion lp is
as much fun as this one. However, "Mad Twists (Rock
and Roll)" and "Fink Along With Mad" are squarely in
the Mad magazine jugular vein (ca. early '60s). "She
Got a Nose Job", "Agnes, the Teen-age Russian Spy"
(she gets executed!) etc, are all on my adolescent top
40.

BTW, all three of these lp's in their entirety were
recently posted to alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1960s.

Sorry for the delay getting back to all that requested this CD-R

It survived my computer's "illness" and is complete and ready to ship.

The complete African Lament and Dynamic Adventures In Sound LP's, plus 4
short Mel Henke bonus tracks from The IN Sound For The Commercial Industry.

Please let me know if still interested.  Look for future postings of upcoming
projects soon.  Probably one a month.

I think he is "Bernard Green" on this one.

Subject: (exotica) British schoolgirl pushed past boiling point by Welsh pelvis

 Tom Jones sends his audience running for the aisle to throw
 underwear. Is this a wholesome orgy or an intergenerational
 sacred rite?

 Panty Raid - By Virginia Vitzthum

 Oct. 19, 1999 | Seeing Tom Jones in concert revealed new
 dimensions in the semiotics of panty-throwing. I'd witnessed the
 ritual only once before, at my first Cramps show in 1989. Like
 Jones, the Cramps are a sexual cartoon; they make black-leather,
 gender-bending, rockabilly that Betty Boop or Jessica Rabbit
 might dance to. That night guitarist Poison Ivy played with bent
 legs spread and an Elvis sneer on her gorgeous lips, while her
 husband, front man Lux Interior, panted and hiccuped and
 howled in a leather G-string and four-inch stilettos, fellating the
 microphone, humping the speakers and rubbing his sweat
 orgiastically into his chest and crotch. It was a ridiculous,
 adolescent spectacle, but I was swept up and turned on, as was
 everyone else around me.

 Etcetera, etcetera.

Subject: Re: (exotica) CD Burning and Media Choices

Some CD players HATE CDR's.  If your CDR works well in your equipment -
meaning your CD player, not the 'puter - and you can play it successfully in
other decks, then I would start suspecting his player. I have taken
suspicious CDR's to electronic stores to get a bigger sampling of players
before. You might try the same.

I have a good one, I just spent hours recording some voice-tracks that I
delivered on CD. I got a call saying the tracks sounded like Mikey Mouse. I
re-burned the CD and checked it again. No problem. A few hours later I get
the same call, only this time  slightly less polite. I take back the disks
and this time play them in my car cd player...Mickey Mouse accompanies me
back to the studio. When I get back, I open the individual files and play
them without the famous rodent rearing it's ugly head. After 20 minutes of
head-scratching, I notice that the tracks were recorded as MONO WAV files.
My computer did not care, since I was reading the CD info as data files, not
CD tracks. DUH!!! Had I taken the time to check the disk in a regular CD
player, I could have saved myself 2 days, 45 miles, and some face.I returned
again with a working CD, and mumbled something about corrupt data, blah,
blah,,,,

A big "thank you!" to all those that answered this!
Nice to have one of those mystery musical memories finally solved.

The LP I remember is indeed "Musically Mad" by Bernie Green and His
Stereo Mad Men (RCA)

The hand squeezing farting type track I remember well.

I've actually now found a copy of the Liner notes for a Rhino
compilation of MAD Magazine songs @
http://rhinorecords.com/Albums/72435lin.html
These mention this album & compares it to similar stuff by Spike Jones.

I've just started a project scanning LP covers from obscure New Zealand
LP's - stuff that probably had very limited distribution even here.
I seem to collect crap records like this - in house restaurant bands
etc.

First up its "Shaun at Wairakei" (Volume 2)
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~pinwhiz/shaun.htm

There are in fact at least 3 volumes of this (its all fairly dull
cocktail piano.)  Nice Tiki logo thou.

Is Blue Sands on "Gongs East"? Heard the cut on a radio show where the DJ
plays superb music but seldom IDs the albums/CDs he's pulled them from.
Hamilton's Blue Sands is well worth checking out, too -- very moody and
sinuous. The Sorocco set to music. The cut appears on the West Coast Jazz
Box (Contemporary/Fantasy, 4 CDs, US 54.99 on sale at CDNow), but I'd love
to hear the entire album. Any background info about the song appreciated.

Gee, Mo, we don't exactly have an antique CD player!  However, the blue
CDs do not play on our machine - it has something to do with the
reflectivity of the colour, and the laser on the machine.  Yes, the
newer machines seem to read these just fine - as does our computer - but
our CD player will not read them at all.  Gold CDs work just fine - but
the blue ones can be problematic - not just in our machine, but in many
that are more than a few years old.

I've always just bought whatever was cheapest (Maxell, Imation)
without apparent ill effects. (Using Sony-based burner.)

I think there is a little too much "urban legend" going around about
different brands/colors of CD-R media. . . the key point is that at
the red wavelengths used by  pickup lasers in CD players, essentially
all brands/colors have similar reflectance. How they look to your eye
in white light just doesn't tell you that much.

There are a few older CD players that do choke on CD-Rs (any of which
are slightly less reflective than mass-produced CDs)--but I wonder if
*any* brand of media would make a difference?

>On one friend's

The "one channel" part makes me wonder if something else is going on.
On an audio CD the left and right channels are interleaved in a
single data stream--I don't see how one channel could be decodable
and the other one not.

I heard of this and experienced this problem also.  The GOLD cds that worked best for
me were really gold colored, like an ultra disc, and I thought they said maxell on
them.

My first bad experience with cds was with the Ursula 2000 blue original release.
Ursula plays fine at the office "new" cd player but doesn't play at home.    I've had a
similiar experience on 3 other cds fom exoticats that I love and wish I could play at
home.

Are these blue/green cds considered to increase in the number of dropouts as time
goes by??

Thanks for any info

I agree with Ross here. I've used a variety of different discs, and found
no audible difference between any of them. I've played them on a number of
different CD players as well. I have found, however, that Pioneer CD-R's,
which require a special 'for consumer use only' type of disc, oftentimes
won't play CD-R's burned on other machines.

For straight audio purposes, the cheapest ones work as well as their more
expensive bretheren. But for data, the cheaper ones are not as good and can
chew up your files.

This is true as well. Sounds like faulty cabling to me.

Maybe brands, but color of media can make a slight difference, if you have an
older CD-R (older like 2 years) and you're having problems.  The older lasers
frequently are designed to optimally write to a specific color.  The CD-R
drive's manual should tell you what color the drive writes best with.  Most,
newer drives love the discs of all colors, races and creeds.

I've never heard a definitive explanation about what role Ilya played on
those records of his but I have the four I know about and there are
wonderful cuts on each of them.  They may have been cash-ins but they have
a lot more going on than that would indicate.

Getting some kind of CD recording system now seems like an inevitability,
if for no other reason than to get rid of a whole bunch of records that
have that one cut that I keep for tapes I might someday make.
But have we reached the point yet that the technology is worked-out, that
the prices have come down etc?
And I still don't understand the difference between burning CD's in your
computer and the stand-alone machines that you record through your amp.  I
don't see myself doing the computer thing but is that still the better way?
I'm on the verge of making my first four CDR's using my friend's machine.
Two Now Sounds and two quasi-Crime Jazzes.  One of the reasons I resist
getting a CD recorder is that I fear the obsession growing a new tributary.
But what's the common wisdom, is there any and if the stand-alone machines
are good, what's a good one?

It probably is, but it isn't necessarily more cost effective. If you
already have some good recording software, you're all set and can buy one
of the cheap ass burners which run on the SCSI chain (none of this stuff
runs solidly over USB just yet). In my case, I'm running ProTools, Peak and
StudioVision in a digital recording environment, so I can get away with it.
From what I've heard from friends who have used the stand-alone machines,
you pretty much get what you pay for, and that the machines in the $1K and
up price range furnish the best results. I'm a little wary of the
Pioneer/Philips models that you have to buy special discs for, as we've run
into problems with them reading other discs at my friends studio (although
this would probably be less of a headache to the average person; but we've
run into problems during mastering sessions if the client brings in their
material on CD-R's made on other burners, as these machines won't play
those). Plus, those discs are not as ubiquitous or cheap as the standard
650MB discs.

stand-alone cd recorders are better than pc cd burners.
Not even a direct SCSI copy (ie a physical copy from SCSI cdrom to SCSI cd
burner) is like that... and believe me, I know people who have been doing
serious tests with external recorders and pc burners.

p.s. if ya wanna take a look at my new ebay stuff... not much yet but
hopefully in a week or so I will put more online. I really have no time now :/

this has been my experience but i can notice a "feathery" edge at the far
periphery of the cheaper CDs (like Dysan).  still i have not had playback
problems.

still yet, i am the one that started this thread because a friend of mine is
having wierd problems with playback.

there is some question if the "gold" colored cds will playback better on
older machines.  i have not even seen gold cds.  i usually use maxell,
imation, dysan or verbatim (the verbatim are very blue!).

so where are these gold cd's?  and another question, why aren't these things
just silver?
