May I recommend one more great flick for you people?  The modern
exploitation classic FREEWAY 2: CONFESSIONS OF A TRICK BABY has just been
released on video.  Has nothing to do with FREEWAY, but it's definitely the
SWITCHBLADE SISTERS of the 90s!  Too good to be true!

Already, about fifteen people grabbed a copy of Beat
Girl from Click2Send.  I think this is a great and
easy way to spread the joy of the music on this list.

I'd love to see other people setting up boxes and
posting some of their favorite, obscure tracks, just
to whet our appetite.  No longer do we have to settle
for a simple review, when we can actually get snippets
or songs to hear.

In the meantime, if you like the John Barry tune,
search out the CDs.  Either the EMI Years one from
Scamp, or the UL one from Capitol.  I will say the
UltraLounge is one of my favorite volumes (Mondo
Hollywood), but on the other hand, Scamp rules.  So
maybe buy both.  :)

yes, these adaptors vary widely in the voltage out put and amps (usually

Greatest Eccentrics        By Tom Pryor

Every field of human endeavor throws up a handful of wild-eyed misfits, eccentrics, and occasional mad geniuses. For every Thomas Edison there's a Nikolai Tesla, for every Stan Lee, a Jack Chick. In some cases these outsiders are later recognized as brilliant innovators who created new paradigms far ahead of their times. In other cases, these figures fade into semi-obscurity, only to be remembered as curiosities and crackpots.

Music, too, has generated its share of eccentrics -- perhaps more than any other art form in this century. This list spotlights some of our obscure, overlooked musical treasures: artists (and we use the term loosely here)whose willful weirdness and determination to follow their own strange muses have led them into uncharted musical territory.

Also, it should be noted that, in the interests of space, some of our own favorites were left out -- apologies to fans of Tiny Tim, Shobee Taylor, Jandek, the Shaggs, and anyone else whose inspired lunacy didn't make the cut.

Note: This list has been compiled with much love and respect to Irwin Chusid. Without his efforts much of this music would have been forgotten.

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

I'm afraid it all seems to be a toss-up; some color and CD-writer
combinations may work better than others, but ultimately it depends on your
computer (and the stereo you're playing the CDR on) as well. I've burned
probably close to 500 CDs on my HP 7200 CDRW (at 2-speed), and they all work
fine. (The 4 or 5 coasters I've made were due to my stupidity: one had a big
piece of lint on it, the other times I forgot to turn off the screen saver
or the disk defragmenter, etc.) I'm using a Pentium-100, btw, and there's a
lot of editing etc. which can be done via Cool Edit. (Besides, those
stand-alone CD burners are way too expensive.)

Those cheapo blue Hi-Vals (not sure if there's any other color) have worked
great for me; so have Maxells, TDKs, HPs, you name it, but the main thing
going for the Hi-Vals is their price -- 80+ cents each if you hunt on the
net. In this case (so far), you don't get what you pay for.

Having said that, do *not* trust Hi-Vals, particularly their rewritable CDs,
for your data. Entire albums of mp3s were chomped up in 10 seconds.

this is tiki bob's opinion also, still, there are those out there that tiki
bob has given cd's to (that play fine on ALL of tiki bob's players) that do
not play well on others players.

and this is where the debate centers.  i want to distribute -- you know --

This is so funny, Peter! I just logged on to my mailserver to send a message
 that *I* have just posted War of the Worlds in it's entirety....hehhehe.
 Your habit thus far has been to encode things for a fairly high bitrate, so
 I imagine my efforts were not in vain - All the cool cats with DSL and
Cable
 can dig your HiFi sound and modem-crawlers can go to
 http://216.112.66.38/ron/warofworlds.pls to hear te direct stream in LoFI.

 It does not suffer from compression though, since the surviving recording
of
 the broadcast is pretty LoFi to begin with.

 Enjoy, kiddywinks!

The power supplies that say 'regulated' help to alleviate the voltage
problem with low current devices - they try and keep a constant voltage
for any current.

    the technology is exactly the same, the discs too, except that the
"consumer" CD-R's cost a little bit more. over here in Belgium the price
difference is only $0.13... many brands (Philips, BASF, TDK) sell CD-R's
with heavy ugly print on the top side, that shines through a label! Philips
is the only one (over here) that sells gold ones;, but they're way too
expensive ($3.50). i currently stick with Lead data: the cheapest around
($1.50), and a near-blanc top.
    the advantage of the stand-alone unit is, that you can use your
computer for whatever you want while recording. if you plan to do a lot of
cd burning, that may be important.
    the disadvantage is, that it uses a copy protection scheme: you
can't make a digital copy of something that was digitally recorded.
    the advantage of a computer CD burner was: the higher recording
speed, but philips now has a double cd/CD-R deck, that can record at higher
speeds. i don't trust the philips mechanism though, especially not in the
cheaper models. i've had 3 machines in 1 year, and none of them worked
longer that a couple of months. eventually, embarrassed with the
situattion, they gave me the top-of-the-line model (860) at reduced price,
and that one works... i think the technology isn't really bug-free yet.

    the gold ones are supposed to last longer. the green ones are more
vulnerable to ultra-violet light and heat, but these green ones are more
compatible with different lasers and speeds. the blue ones are the newest,
are less vulnerable to UV than the green ones, and are supposed to have a
scratch-proof layer... for what it's worth. always play safe: keep those
CD-R's out of the sun, inside their boxes!

Subject: (exotica) New Louis Prima biodoc

Just got back from seeing "Louis Prima - The Wildest" at the Roxie in SF.
This is apparently just over a week out of the editing room...it was shown on
video and I don't know what its final destination is but it's worth keeping an
eye out for if only for the performance footage -- mostly Ed Sullivan material
with Keely Smith, Sam Butera, and The Witnesses.  If you've only *heard* his
act with Keely, you're missing out on 80% of the fun!

I'd say there were at about a half-dozen performance numbers that ran at or
close to their full length, and bits and pieces of at least twice that many,
with dates ranging from the late '30s to 1974.  You get to see and hear him in
just about every musical mode, from the early New Orleans jazz combo through
his big band, the Vegas period, his Twist movie, The Jungle Book, and finally
back to the lounge in the 1970s.

Weak points -- the biographical material is pretty shallow (if you're
expecting a warts-and-all portrayal this isn't it) and unfortunately the only
Keely footage they got their hands on dates back to the early 1980s (they
tried but couldn't get her to sit for an interview, though she apparently did
one for Vanity Fair that should show up in a month or two).  It's also a
little heavy on the stock footage, which I only forgave when it was in the
"'50s Vegas At Night" mode.  But oh, those performances!

I have to chime in too!  This book is GORGEOUS!  Every other page is a
full-size reproduction, they picked the best-designed ones to get the
full-size treatment, and every picture in the book looks so clean you'd think
they shot it from the original negatives...

Subject: Re: (exotica) Tabu, the movie

Well, I did see Murnau's "Tabu" eventually on the widescreen last monday and
I quite enjoyed it. A sad ending (I'm not sure if it was the print's fault
but the last couple of minutes were. because of the dark, barely visible
which attributed to the gloomy mood ) but idyllic pictures, it definitely
had a somewhat National Geographic feeling about it.  As said the movie was
accompanied by a trio of musicians: leaded by Dutch jazz improviser Ton van
Erp who was commissioned to specifically write a score for it last year for
an
arthouse anniversary. The score consisted of lots of marimba, a trombone,
slide-guitar, double-bass and a sampler for sea effects, it captured the
mood
of the movie quite good. It was definitely something special. Next month
Erich
von Stroheim's "Greed"  with the same format.

Subject: (exotica) Doctor Ammondt

Small piece on Doctor Ammondt in my Dutch tv guide this week.


The Finnish literatureteacher Doctor Juka Ammondt is the last one to deny
it. Singing Finnish tango's en Elvis songs in Latin is one big joke. But one
with intellectual depth. At the same time he takes his singing career, even
if he only started it round his fiftieth birthday, very seriously. His motto
is: "Don't stop, but always take care of finding new paths to break
barriers - of yourself and of others".  Because: "This is the best way of
promoting creativity".
As teenager Juka Ammondt played the guitar and sang in a popband. Even then
Elvis was his big hero. At university - first as student, later teaching
German literature - he forgot his love of music. Like so many men his
midlife-crisis made for a change. In 1988 his marriage broke en Ammondt
found himself lonely and alone in a big house on one of the Finnish lakes.
There, alone, he rediscovered the power of music.
Five years later it ended in the making of the album "Surun Siivel", where
the university teacher sings songs of the Finnish composer Toivo Karki.
Still in the Finnish language. The same year followed "Tango Triste
Finnicum", with Finnish tango's - yes, there are - and this time sung in
Latin. And once on the Latin way two years later Ammondt made "The Legend
Lives Forever in Latin" on the anniversary of Elvis 60th birthday. On this
Ammondt sings Love Me Tender (Tedere me ama) and Can't Help Falling in Love
(Non adamare non possums) amongst others. And that wasn't enough. In 1997
the album "Rocking in Latin" followed with pieces like Shake, Rattle and
Roll (Quate, Crepa, Rota) and Blue Suede Shoes (Glaudi Calcei). Asking about
Ammondt's fascination for singing in Latin he explains that Latin is an
eternal language. "And what is better suited than an eternal language to
make a living legend like Elvis truly immortal? "

Aloha Lazlo-

it's the album cover of "Duke Kahanamoku Presents A Beachboy Party with
Waltah Clarke," the second release on our Taboo Records label (1st being
"The Forbidden Sounds of Don Tiki"). It was recorded on the beach in
Waikiki at the Outrigger Canoe Club in 1963. Those pictured with Duke
are the legendary Waikiki "beachboys" who taught  tourists and Hollywood
hoi poloi how to surf and paddle by day and how to sing, party and live
by night. Sitting from left to right are: Splash Lyons, Fat (Abraham
Kala), and Panama. back row left to right are Squeeze Kamana, Ox, Waltah
Clarke, Kalakaua, Jimmy Hakuole, Harry Robello, Duke Kahanamoku, and
Chick Daniels.

from the original liner notes:
"Waltah Clarke, once the country's leading retailers of Hawaiian
sportswear, was a long time friend of the beachboys. Waltah felt that
the boys and their music were a bit of Hawaiiana that should be
preserved, so in 1963 he gave a party for them and successfully produced
this album".

and so he did... and that's why the boys are all wearing such coool
shirts! you can check it out at cordinternational.com

okole maluna,
Fluid Floyd
Taboo Records

"The perpetual adolescents of the ocean... without these remarkable
people the island would be nothing. With them it is a carnival."
