I don't normally perpetuate this junk email stuff but this seems interesting



How important is education to you? Look at this list, then read the bottom
statement, and think about it when you vote, more importantly, pass it on:

A list of Colleges close to closing due to financial problems:

14 BLACK COLLEGES TO CLOSE DOWN in 2000:

>  Here is the list:
>  1. Allen Univ.. (Columbia, SC)
>  2. Arkansas Baptist College (Little Rock, AK)

Subject: (exotica) Favourite shows

A list of memorable gigs would have to include the following:

Genesis
(Copenhagen, 1975; the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour)

Henry Cow
(Lund, 1977? The first time I ever saw anybody play the bassoon through
a wah wah pedal.)

Scritti Politti & The Red Crayola
(Double bill in London, 1979)

TT Reuter
(Many times 1979-1982. Brilliant Swedish new wave band live, their
records were never really up to scratch.)

This Heat
(Lund, 1980. A friend and I arranged the gig, and our own band made its
debut as the support act!)

Byakkousha
(Tokyo, 1987. Not so much a concert as some kind of art performance with
music constantly playing at a very loud volume. The absolutely most
bizarre thing I have ever seen, hands down. Whereas most performance art
involves strange people doing (not so) strange things, I'm not sure
these were people. It was more like watching a religious ceremony among
aliens.)

Metrofarce
(Tokyo, 1984~. A Japanese cult group that I've also seen many times. In
particular I remember a gig where after a 2-hour set, they had to play 7
encores! They are still around, but not as interesting since their
monstruous bass player, Vagabond Suzuki (who also played on the
Watermelon records, for the ubiquitous Exotica connection) left.
Erstwhile cult, now fogies, as it were.)

Caetano Veloso
(Tokyo, 1989 and then again twice in 1997. One of my two gods, the other
being Franco Battiato of Italy, whom unfortunately I've never been able
to see (yet).)

Martin Denny
(Tokyo, 1990)

And recently?
Habib Koite
(Tokyo, 1999. Great singer/songwriter from Mali.)

Exactely, same with my gig-charts. Plus often the bands I liked on stage aren't
the ones I buy records from at all. And vice versa, some of the bands I love
from their records, didn't impress me much on stage in terms of "memorable".
I'm afraid this goes even for some Kraftwerk gigs I saw. A good show is much
more than just the music. And I can only congratulate bands who can do on stage
something significantly different than what they do on their records, even if
they disappoint their devoted fans, who do not "recognize" their favorite hits.

Sometimes however even the hardest efforts to do a stage show with costumes and
lights and a story behind the music et al can fail: like all the gigs of the
Residents I saw since 1980 kind of really left me cold. During the last one
this year I thought: Why don't they just play their best songs like any
ordinary band? Eyeballs and tuxeedos, all very well, but why this complicated
and ineffective show brimborium? The coolest parts were when the eyeball band
just played an instrumental between rounds of those horrible voices and
blacklite carnival costumes.

A similar difference there is between DJing and listening to music at home or
in the car. Songs I liked to listen to at home, didn't work in the club at all.
So in the mean time I learned to take care for and respect the rules of public
places.

Ah, that's a nice one. I don't think this CD was mentioned before on this list.
It's well worth listening to. Not the wild 'Delirium in hi-fi' type of Popp
music, but still very nice. Comes in nice packaging too.

I don't think we've played in on Space Bop before, although we've had
the disc for close to a year now!  It's one of those discs that really
grows on you!

Subject: (exotica) 10 Fave Gigs....

Hmmmm....not in any particular order:

Yma Sumac at The Ballroom, NYC 1989.  Her voice in fantastic form, crooned
and shrieked thru all her classics.  Autographed my poster and 3 CD's in the
dressing room post performance.

Silver Apples at Carnegie Mellon University, 1998.  I hadn't heard Simeon's
stuff before I went to see this, but knew plenty about it from print.  Very
wild and freaky, and surprisingly contemporary sounding.

Steve Reich (separate concerts)  Music for 18 Musicians (2x), Different
Trains, The Desert Music, Drumming, The Four Sections (at the Guggenheim),
(The Cave doesn't count--it stunk)

Stereolab, 8 times 1993-1998.  The first time I saw them was in an intimate,
almost totally acoustic(!) set-up, but the first time I saw them in full
force ('94, NYC) it was a cathartic experience.

Tom Waits, live on Broadway, 1990.  Frank's Wild Years tour.  Whoa.

Bill Frisell at St. Ann's, Brooklyn, twice.  Scoring Buster Keaton films
live in front of a huge screen.  Spine-tingling.

Robin Holcomb, solo at Roulette, NYC.  My favorite female singer, bar none!
If you haven't heard her, run.

Robert Wilson/Tom Waits/William S. Burroughs: The Black Rider, and
Alice...Brooklyn Academy of Music.  Fantastic and transporting visuals,
truly creepy and funny simultaneously.

Soul Coughing, 1995, Port Chester, NY.  Before their eruption into the Big
Time, a fantastic gig swirling with invention.  Booty was rocked.

Jean Luc Ponty NYC 1977...had to include this, my high school fave. Guy next
to me clapped so hard at the encore his hands were bloody.  Tends to stick
in your mind more than his fuzak.

That's off the top` o'my head...list subject to change without notice!

Ciao,

Keith

Subject: Re: (exotica) 10 Fave Gigs....

Here are my faves in chronological order

- - Stray Cats - August 1982 ;  Boulder Theatre
    I had never purchased concert tickets in advance before I bought tickets for
this show and the Clash (who performed 2 days later)  Great show - 2 months
later they were all over MTV and the charts

- - Buckwheat Zydeco; July 27, 1986;   Twist and Shout Club
   I never danced as much or hard as this night.  Perhaps 50 people total in the
crowd that night at D.C.'s sorely missed club.

- - Sun Ra;  May 1989;    9:30 Club (the old one)
   Had never heard their music.   Was very confused by the intial chaotic
saxophone squawking, but was entranced by the end of the first set.

- - Nine Inch Nails (opening) / Jesus and Mary Chain   March 1990;   Lisner
Auditorium
   discovered the thrills that feedback could provide.  Noone knew who Trent was
back then.

- - Social Distortion / Sonic Youth / NeilYoung   February 1991;   Capital Center
    This show was held in DC the day the final ceasefire was announced for the
Desert Storm - Iraq war.  Young started with a Hendrixian feedback-laden version
of 'Star Spangled Banner', later did the same for 'Blowin in the Wind', and
continued providing feedback all night long.  I think this was the tour where
Young lost some of his hearing.

Santana / Bob Dylan   Sept 1993;   Wolftrap Ampitheatre
     The year I really started listening to Dylan.  everyone said to prepare for
a sucky concert ... instead he was in top form

Loreena Mckennitt; November; 1994  (someplace in Baltimore)
     In my mind, the best all around concert I've ever experienced.

Johnny Cash:  May 1996;  9:30 Club (new one)
     Finally got to see this legend, and he didn't disappoint at all

Donovan:  June 6-8, 1997;   Omega Institute
     This was a course that Donovan taught called 'Music and the Myth'  Donovan
played movie video clips, excerpts from various CDs, lectured, told tales, and
played his guitar over a 3 day period.  It was like being his living room as he
shared his memorable 'show and tell' life memories with the 30 or so class
participants.

Bauhaus:  September 1998;  9:30 Club
      the reunion tour.  I had seen Love and Rockets perform several times, but
this one was so much better

Plastic People of the Universe; Feb 1999;  Black Cat Club
     nice to know that my best concert attending days haven't passed me by yet.
I wonder what the next century will bring?

Vern

Was Hugh Marsh with her then?  Bald, bespectacled violin player?  We don't
share the same taste for Ms. McKennitt but it would still be nice to find
out that someone I know contributed to the best concert you've ever
experienced.

Subject: (exotica) Re: Good morning, good shows, bad memory

* The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain,

    in Brussels, somewhere halfway the 1980's.  they featured a
clownesque beeeeeeeeeg bass-uke! i bought their "The Ukelele Variations" LP
at that concert, and up to now, that is the only album of this group i've
ever found.

* Disneyland After Dark,

    also somewhere halfway the 1980's at the "Futurama" festival in
Deinze (yes, that's in Belgium too). they were nuts, much more fun than on
record, with a stage that looked like the saloon in a cowboy movie.

    irrelevant namedropping: concerts that i remember, and therefore
must have made a good impression:  Jesus & Marychain, Echo & The Bunnymen,
Siouxsie and The Banshees, Triffids, Chills, Barclay James Harvest, Simple
Minds, Sky, Danielle Dax, Nomads,  Nick Cave (he even _smiled_ at the end
of his gig!), Sisters Of mercy, Wim Mertens, Pebbles.

    all those concert lists are slightly irrelevant, but do point to
something essential i think: most of us have always had an eclectical
musical interest, even before discovering "exotica". it seems that we're
all "musical explorers", with a wide musical taste.

Yes, we are - and that's not irrelevant.

BTW: Spent some time in ANOTHER list last week and it was terrible! Such low

Was that the one with an entirely black stage and Tom Waits had an umrella
under glitter rain at one point? I saw that in Hamburg, almost forgot. That
would be Number 19 in my list.

I missed that although it played in Hamburg at the time I lived there.

Yes  Bumpy.

Lots of different kinds for PC's and I imagine Macs too.  All those URL's
that Mimi posted will surely lead you to more info.

Be prepared for a learning curve and a time consuming process.  There are an
infinite number of settings that take some experimenting with to get the
result you want.  Different records respond differently to these settings
too.  Aggressive treatment can distort the source material and leave
unpleasant artifacts.  Watch those percussive records!  If you have a file
with large amounts of cymbal hits, snare drums, etc, the software can confuse
them with pops and clicks.

Once you are happy with the settings, a single LP can take as long as 30
minutes to process each treatment.  If you run a declicker first, then a
denoiser, we are already up to an hour, depending on your machine of course.

All this work DOES pay off and the results can be very, very good.

I've also found that all this great software can lead to ENDLESS tweaking and
experimentation, but that just may be my own obsessive, compulsive hang up.
Just so you know...

The thereminist calls himself "Robby Virus" and he has another
band The Giraffe Had a Voice who have a CD out which you'll find
at http://www.amazon.com/ but this is a very different style to
Project: Pimento.

If you want to get in touch with Mr Virus and tell him to get those
Project Pimento tracks out on CD, his address is:

He hangs out on the theremin mailing list.

Subject: (exotica) top shows

don't know about a lifelong top ten, but this year my favourite shows were

ivo papasov and his bulgarian wedding band, in a small club, blistering
syncopated set of virtuoso playing. mighty.

rizuam muazzam (sp) qhawwalli group, playing in the national concert hall
dublin. nusrat's nephews, younger, more supple voice than the recordings of
nusrat i know. intense.

calexico, in a theatre in kilkenny with a crowd there to see some mor
country singer, totally fried at the end of a european tour, they were
ragged and stunning.

a performance of a fugue by luttkolawski, the notes were written but not the
durations. surprisingly accessible to the largely middle aged crowd.

Subject: (exotica) [obits] Shirley Hemphill,Elizabeth Zimmermann

                         *Shirley Hemphill
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Shirley Hemphill, who played a wisecracking
waitress on the 1970s sitcom ``What's Happening!!'' was found dead
Friday in her home. She was 52.
    Gardeners called authorities Friday morning after they looked
through a window and saw her face down on the bedroom floor, said
Scott Gilmore, a West Covina Fire Department paramedic.
    Paramedics forced their way through the garage door and
pronounced her dead at the scene. It was not known how long she had
been there, and the gardeners said they last saw her on Dec. 3,
Gilmore said.
    ``We are handling the death as a natural death,'' said Lt. Dan
Aikin of the Los Angeles County coroner's office.
    Ms. Hemphill played waitress Shirley Wilson on ``What's
Happening!!'' The comedy, which ran from 1976-79, centered on three
high school students who hung out together.
    She also appeared on the series ``One in a Million'' in 1980,
followed by a remake of the 1970s show called ``What's Happening
Now!,'' which ran from 1985-88.
    Ms. Hemphill apparently lived alone at her home in West Covina,
about 30 miles east of Los Angeles.

 *Elizabeth Zimmermann
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Elizabeth Zimmermann, whose best-known gift to
knitting was a mathematical formula for figuring the proportions of
sweaters and other garments, died Nov. 30 at a hospital in
Marshfield, Wis., where she lived. She was 89.
    Born near Devon, England, Zimmermann learned knitting from her
mother. She eventually sold sweaters of her own design to a shop
for pocket money when she attended art schools in Europe.
    She married, moved to New York and eventually settled in
Wisconsin.
    Zimmermann submitted her designs for Norwegian-pattern sweaters
to Woman's Day magazine in 1955. Other magazines also accepted her
designs, and in 1959, she started her own knitting publication.
    She eventually published a newsletter and a mail-order business
for knitting supplies, books and video productions under the name
Schoolhouse Press. Her books include ``Knitting Around,''
``Knitting without Tears,'' ``Knitter's Almanac.'' and ``Knitting
Workshop.''
    Zimmermann was the host of a knitting program on many public
television stations and in 1974, she began a knitting camp under
the auspices of the University of Wisconsin. The camp has continued
every summer since.

NEW YORK (AP) - The CBS series ``Cosby'' is paying tribute to the late actress Madeline
Kahn with a show devoted to clips of her work and remembrances from the cast.

There will be taped segments in which the show's stars, Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad,
speak about working with Ms. Kahn, along with highlights of her work on the series. The
episode, titled ``Loving Madeline,'' is scheduled to air Dec. 29 at 8 p.m.

Ms. Kahn, who died of ovarian cancer Dec. 3, played a neighbor and friend who owned a
coffee shop with Ms. Rashad's character. Her last original episode will air Dec. 22.
