I'm trying to figure out that whole dark side of the musical spectrum
in the UK... Current 93, Nurse With Wound, Karl Blake, Danielle
Dax, etc. and where these inspirations come from, though England
has quite a "gothic" past too so... Its funny that I stumbled on the
Tiger Lillies some weeks back during a search for Karl Blake's group
The Shock Headed Peters! After visiting Prague, I could instantly
visualize the influence of this place and culture on many children's
fairy tales. I believe Cinderella's castle in Disneyland is a copy
of or at least inspired by a German castle? I'd take it as a
compliment to the German imagination Moritz!
On a more techical note... is it just me (I'm on digest format)
but it seems that many of the messages that come from Moritz,
have extraordinarily long lines. Is this coming from Moritz (I know
he's a Mac user), the exotca server, or is something in my own mail
reader. It's more a nuisance in replying as the line clips off at a
certain point. I get this same thing happening from time to time
with other e-mails so I'd be happy to understand the cause.

Got the new 1999/2000 catalog of German label Trikont in the mailbox today.
Nothing earthshattering imminent besides a cd series called "Rare
Shelllacks" with early 20th century recordings of German singers and
humorists. Another one called "Prayers from Hell : white gospel & sinners'
blues 1927-1940" looks interesting, again rare 78 stuff.
Still available though are the following interesting historical releases::
v/a - Finnischer Tango
v/a - Ho! : Vietnam Roady Music 2000 (Vietnames streetmusic)
v/a - Down & out - The Sad Soul of the Black South (deep soul comp.)
v/a - Dead & Gone #1 : funeral marches (from all over the world)
v/a - Dead & Gone #2 : Songs of death
v/a - La Paloma : one song for all world vol.1-3 (about 75 versions in
total!)
v/a - American Yodeling : from 1911 to 1945

Messages should be sent as plain text (ASCII) (the Address Book in
Outlook has the option to set plain text just for Exotica if you'd
prefer to still send HTML to others). Word wrapping should be set 'on'
and at somewhere between 72 and 78. (Edit/Preferences... in Netscape, or
Tools/Options... in Outlook). It's all up to the sender, unfortunately,
since mail programs don't seem to be able to word wrap incoming
messages.
Reading the Obits over the past few months has also been a pain for me
due to excessively one lines, which has been a shame.

I guess when you go into Cabaret, you can't escape certain German influences mainly stemming from the 20s and 30s. Listening to the Tiger Lillies CD at home today was a bit disappointing although I had kind of expected it would happen. On a sound medium the songs should be produced much bigger and there should be less elements of Cabaret and maybe more jazzy ones.
Cinderella Castle is taken from Schloss Neuschwanstein built by the Bavarian camp king Ludwig the 2nd who never really lived there, because he mysteriously died before. You can find a link on the Munich page of my homepage.

This is definitely not the case. I never send HTML-mails to the Exotica list
because they are rejected. I had problems with long lines in mails by several
people until I changed the referring preference in one of the Navigator menus
dealing with incoming mails. Can't remember which it was though.
I use HTML in some private mails, when I include pics and play with colors,
backgrounds and typefaces, but even that has nothing to do with wrapping of
long lines, because HTML wraps as well as ascii... When I send those mails to
myself they are perfectly wrapped.
I take for granted that HTML- compatible mail readers are so common these days
that everybody has one. They are free to download.
