I was delighted to stumble across this page

http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~cnet/after5/ukulele.html

It's in Japanese, but there are plenty of graphics of ukeleles, including
cool oval bodied ones, and ephemera.  True exotica.

Hugh.

PS I've decided that if I don't like the 2000's, I'm going back to the 1960's.

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Norman E. Rothstein, a theater producer who
worked with some of Broadway's most famous stars, died Thursday of
cancer. He was 63.
    Rothstein served as general manager or executive producer for
productions of ``The Little Foxes'' starring Elizabeth Taylor,
``The King and I'' with Yul Brynner, ``Peter Pan'' with Sandy

    SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Tito Guizar, a pioneer of Mexican music and
film, died Friday while visiting his son's home here. He was 91.
    Guizar died of complications from heart problems and pneumonia,
said Jerry Leyva of the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office.
    Born Federico Guizar y Tolentino on April 8, 1908, in
Guadalajara, Mexico, Guizar appeared in more than 20 films and
television shows starting in the 1930s. Most recently, he performed
in the Spanish soap opera ``La Usurpadora.''
    He portrayed himself in ``The Big Broadcast of 1938,'' starring
Bob Hope, W.C. Fields, Dorothy Lamour and Martha Raye. In 1947, he
appeared with Roy Rogers on the TV Western ``On the Old Spanish
Trail.''
    Guizar was perhaps the first Mexican singing star to cross over
to United States audiences. During the 1930s, he performed in a
weekly bilingual radio program, ``Tito Guizar and His Guitar,''
which was broadcast nationwide on CBS.
    Earlier this year, Guizar received the Golden Eagle award from
the Hispanic group Nosotros, given to artists who reflect with
dignity the image of Hispanic people.

December 27, 1999,NYTimes
          Walt Levinsky, 70, Composer Who Played
          Jazz Clarinet

               ARASOTA, Fla., Dec. 26 -- Walt Levinsky, a jazz clarinetist,
               composer and arranger, died here on Dec. 14, days after being
          released from a hospital in New York City. He was 70 and lived in River
          Edge, N.J., and Sarasota.

          He was suffering from brain cancer and had been in a coma for more
          than two months, his family said.

          For more than a half-century, Mr. Levinsky played with jazz greats like
          Benny Goodman, led his own swing band featuring Goodman alumni,
          composed television and movie scores and was a respected arranger.

          His band played familiar swing music but with new arrangements. Mr.
          Levinsky bristled at the word nostalgia.

          "I don't see this as nostalgia music," he said in 1994. "That's like saying
          Mozart is nostalgia. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's nostalgia. What
          we're doing is taking arrangements that were written then and putting our
          own touches on them. We're playing them with a modern conception.
          They're still alive."

          Mr. Levinsky prepared most of the arrangements for Bob Rosengarden,
          a drummer, while he was musical director for Dick Cavett's late-night
          talk show in the 1970's.

          He spent two years playing with Tommy Dorsey and worked with
          Goodman on and off for about 19 years. He once estimated that he
          played in more than 5,000 recording sessions, and he arranged songs for
          Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, Richard Harris and Doc Severinsen.

          He wrote the theme songs for numerous television shows, including "The
          CBS Evening News With Dan Rather," "CBS News Nightwatch,"
          ABC's "20/20" and CBS coverage of N.F.L. football and college
          basketball. For 12 years he was musical director for the Daytime Emmy
          Awards.

          He also ran the control booth for the composer and arranger Dick
          Hyman during his work for several Woody Allen films.

          He is survived by his wife, Natalie;

          a son, Ken, a musician from Hackensack, N.J.; two daughters, Judy
          Hobbs of Kennesaw, Ga., and Susie Nathanson of Hampton, N.J.; and
          four grandchildren.

Subject: (exotica) [obit] Curtis Mayfield

See:
http://elvispelvis.com/curtismayfield.htm
http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/obit-c-mayfield.html

    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Composer and songwriter Curtis Mayfield,
whose string of 1960s hits ``People Get Ready,'' ``Talking About My
Baby,'' ``Keep On Pushing,'' place him among America's music
legends, has died. He was 57.
    Warner Bros. Records spokeswoman Karen Lee announced the death
Sunday. A nurse at the North Fulton Regional Hospital in Roswell,
Ga., confirmed that Mayfield died there Sunday morning.
    Other details about his death were not immediately available.
    Mayfield was too ill to attend a March ceremony in which he was
inducted him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He became a
Grammy Legend Award winner in 1994 and a Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award winner the next year.
    Mayfield was paralyzed in a 1990 accident in which he was struck
by a rig that toppled while he was on stage performing in Brooklyn.
    Born in Chicago on June 3, 1942, Mayfield's distinctive tenor
voice was developed with his pre-teen band, The Alphatones. In
1956, he joined church choir member Jerry Butler, brothers Arthur
and Richard Brooks, and Sam Gooden in a new group, The Roosters.
    In 1958, The Roosters were renamed The Impressions and recorded
``For Your Precious Love,'' which was No. 11 in the United States.
Although Butler left the group, Mayfield continued with a string of
hits including, ``He Will Break Your Heart,'' ``Need To Belong To
Someone,'' and ``Find Yourself Another Girl.''
    ABC Paramount Records later gave The Impressions a recording
contract and the group followed with a Top 20 hit, ``Gypsy Woman,''
which was followed by many others.

                           *By RUSS BYNUM
                      *Associated Press Writer
    ATLANTA (AP) -- Soul singer and songwriter Curtis Mayfield, whose
work introduced a social conscience into black music at the height
of the civil rights movement and who continued to make music for a
decade after an accident left him paralyzed, died Sunday. He was
57.
    Mayfield's string of hits included ``Gypsy Woman,'' the
gospel-tinged ``People Get Ready,'' the rallying cry ``Keep On
Pushing'' and the funk classic ``Superfly.''
    Warner Bros. Records spokeswoman Karen Lee announced the death
Sunday. A nurse at the North Fulton Regional Hospital in Roswell
confirmed that Mayfield died there Sunday morning.
    The exact cause of his death was not immediately available.
    An onstage accident in 1990 left Mayfield paralyzed from the
neck down, a condition that caused his health to deteriorate in
recent years. Doctors amputated his right leg last year because of
diabetes brought on by the injury.
    Mayfield was too ill to attend a March ceremony in which he was
inducted him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He became a
Grammy Legend Award winner in 1994 and a Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award winner the next year.
    In a 1996 interview with The Associated Press, Mayfield said he
was happy his songs had touched so many people.
    ``I wrote them for myself,'' he said. ``Being a young black man,
observing and sensing the need for race equality and women's
rights, I wrote about what was important to me.''
    Longtime manager and business partner Marv Heiman said Mayfield
knew he was leaving behind a legacy that not only entertained but
improved the world.
    ``He wanted people to think about themselves and the world
around them, making this a better place for everyone to live,''
Heiman said.
    While other black singers stuck to love songs and dance tunes,
Mayfield pushed the boundaries of rhythm and blues in the mid-1960s
by singing of black pride and gritty urban landscapes -- paving the
way for funk and rap artists for decades to come.
    ``Black music as we hear it today simply wouldn't exist without
him,'' Rolling Stone magazine declared in naming a Mayfield
anthology to its list of 200 essential albums in 1997.
    It was 1964's ``Keep On Pushing'' that marked a turning point
for Mayfield and broadened the parameters of black music. Widely
regarded as the first rhythm-and-blues song to rally blacks behind
the civil rights movement, ``Keep On Pushing'' became a Top 10 R&B
and pop hit.
    Mayfield continued putting black pride and social issues at the
forefront in Impressions hits such as ``We're a Winner,'' ``This is
My Country'' and ``Choice of Colors,'' which asked ``How long have
you hated your white teacher? / Who told you to love your black
preacher?''
    Such songs made Mayfield ``black music's most unflagging civil
rights champion,'' music critic Nelson George wrote in his 1988
book ``The Death of Rhythm & Blues.''
    Mayfield blazed the trail others followed. Sam Cooke recorded
``A Change Is Gonna Come'' shortly before he was shot to death in
December 1964. James Brown hit four years later with the strident
``Say It Loud -- I'm Black and I'm Proud.'' And Marvin Gaye joined
Mayfield on the cutting edge of thinking man's soul in 1971 with
``What's Going On.''
    Riding the popularity of so-called ``blaxploitation'' movies,
Mayfield had one of his greatest critical and commercial successes
in 1972 with the soundtrack to ``Superfly,'' a film about a drug
dealer trying to go straight.
    Mayfield was paralyzed in a 1990 accident in which he was struck
by a rig that toppled while he was on stage performing in Brooklyn.
    Born in Chicago on June 3, 1942, Mayfield's distinctive tenor
voice was developed with his pre-teen band, The Alphatones. In
1956, he joined church choir member Jerry Butler, brothers Arthur
and Richard Brooks, and Sam Gooden in a new group, The Roosters.
    In 1958, The Roosters were renamed The Impressions and recorded
``For Your Precious Love,'' which was No. 11 in the United States.
Although Butler left the group, Mayfield continued with a string of
hits including, ``He Will Break Your Heart,'' ``Need To Belong To
Someone,'' and ``Find Yourself Another Girl.''
    ABC Paramount Records later gave The Impressions a recording
contract and the group followed with a Top 20 hit, ``Gypsy Woman,''
which was followed by many others.
    Mayfield compositions including ``It's All Right,'' 1963, hit
the charts and influenced the musical style of artists including
Gene Chandler, Major Lance, Jan Bradley and Walter Jackson.
Mayfield produced most of their hits.
    As a producer, Mayfield shepherded the hit soundtracks to the
films, ``Claudine,'' 1974 with Gladys Knight & The Pips, and
``Let's Do It Again,'' 1975, with the Staple Singers. He produced
two Aretha Franklin albums, ``Sparkle,'' 1976, and ``Almighty
Fire,'' 1978.
    He also recorded critically-acclaimed solo albums including
``Back To The World,'' 1973, ``Sweet Exorcist,'' 1974, ``Got To
Find A Way,'' 1974 and ``There's No Place Like America Today,''
1975. But as the disco craze took over, Mayfield's sound and
socially-pertinent lyrics became out of step.
    A two-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame --
recognized in 1991 as a member of the Impressions, again in 1999 as
a solo artist -- Mayfield ranked among soul music's premiere
songwriters.
    ``I lost my husband, the father of our children, my best friend
and my soulmate,'' said Mayfield's widow, Altheida. ``Thank God his
music and his legacy will live far beyond today.''
    Mayfield's legacy lives on with his work being sampled by
contemporary hip-hop and rap artists including Coolio, Dr. Dre,
Snoop Doggy Dogg and R. Kelly.
    In addition to his wife, Mayfield is survived by his mother; 10
children; two sisters; a brother; and seven grandchildren.

    ROSWELL, Ga., Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Curtis Mayfield, the singer-songwriter
whose melodic falsetto tones thrilled four decades of listeners and won
him two mentions in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, died Sunday. He was
57.
    Mayfield had never fully recovered from an on-stage accident in 1990
when a piece of lighting equipment fell on him and left him paralyzed.
He died at an Atlanta-area hospital but a cause of death was not
released, a spokeswoman for his record company said.
    Mayfield is best known for his social-conscious song ``People Get
Ready,'' but also for his funky soundtrack to ``Superfly,'' which
includes the hit single ``Freddie's Dead.'' His deft touch as a producer
defined the Chicago Sound, which rivaled Detroit's Motown sound of Berry
Gordy. A prolific artist, one discography credits Mayfield with 38
record albums.
    He was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award in 1995 and
was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 as a member of
the Impressions and then again in 1999 in his own right. However,
Mayfield was too ill to attend induction ceremonies last spring.
    Mayfield was born June 3, 1942 in Chicago and began his singing
career with his grandmother's gospel groups. When he was just 14 he
joined the Alphatones and later was part of the Roosters, the group that
was renamed the Impressions and created a singular sound in pop music.
    Unlike many artists, Mayfield keep in touch with every aspect of a
record. Writing for several groups other than his own; producing
soundtracks and more traditional studio albums; and owning a series of
record labels; all the while touring indefatigably.
    ``Freddie's Dead'' climbed to No. 4 on the pop charts and ``Superfly''
topped out at No. 8 to be his most successful singles on that listing.
``People Get Ready'' linked his gospel roots and soul sensibilities in
reaching No. 14 on the pop chart.
    In 1996 Mayfield released his 25th solo album, ``New World Order,''
saying, ``How many 54-year-old quadriplegics are putting albums out? You
just deal with what you got, try to sustain yourself the best you can,
and look to the things that you can do.''
    He is survived by his wife, Altheida; 10 children; seven
grandchildren; his mother; two sisters and a brother.

BMJ 1999;319:1600-1602 ( 18 December )

Shaken, not stirred: bioanalytical study of the antioxidant activities of
martinis
C C Trevithick, research assistant,  M M Chartrand, research assistant,  J
Wahlman, research assistant,  F Rahman, research assistant,  M Hirst,
professor,  J R Trevithick, professor.

Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of
Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5C1


Background: Moderate consumption of alcoholic drinks seems to reduce the
risks of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cataracts, perhaps
through antioxidant actions of their alcohol, flavonoid, or polyphenol
contents. "Shaken, not stirred" routinely identifies the way the famous
secret agent James Bond requires his martinis.

Objectives: As Mr Bond is not afflicted by cataracts or cardiovascular
disease, an investigation was conducted to determine whether the mode of
preparing martinis has an influence on their antioxidant capacity.

Design: Stirred and shaken martinis were assayed for their ability to quench
luminescence by a luminescent procedure in which hydrogen peroxide reacts
with luminol bound to albumin. Student's t test was used for statistical
analysis.

Results: Shaken martinis were more effective in deactivating hydrogen
peroxide than the stirred variety, and both were more effective than gin or
vermouth alone (0.072% of peroxide control for shaken martini, 0.157% for
stirred v 58.3% for gin and 1.90% for vermouth). The reason for this is not
clear, but it may well not involve the facile oxidation of reactive martini
components: control martinis through which either oxygen or nitrogen was
bubbled did not differ in their ability to deactivate hydrogen peroxide
(0.061% v 0.057%) and did not differ from the shaken martini. Moreover,
preliminary experiments indicate that martinis are less well endowed with
polyphenols than Sauvignon white wine or Scotch whisky (0.056 mmol/l
(catechin equivalents) shaken, 0.060 mmol/l stirred v 0.592 mmol/l wine,
0.575 mmol/l whisky).

Conclusions: 007's profound state of health may be due, at least in part, to
compliant bartenders.

I've got a purple-label Full Dimensional Sound Capitol 10" of Ms. Sheva,
Soul Of A People: Hebraic Chants (L8287), with orchestra conducted by Harold
Mooney. Basically, a recording of 6 cantorial pieces. The short bio reads:
BAS SHEVA is a Philadelphia-born young artist whose magnificent voice has
electrified theater and concert audiences all across the country. Her father
is a Cantor and her mother was a concert singer, so she comes naturally by
the vocal talent and versatility her work displays; to these qualities she
adds a truly remarkable degree of emotional expression.

Subject: (exotica) new email list: popnouveau

hi y'all,
just wanted to announce a new email list called popnouveau.

the basic idea is to talk about new or recent music that's come up on this
list more than a few times.  here's some band names just to give you the
basic gist (although i'm hoping it will be pretty broad and open):   air,
cornelius, takako minekawa, dimitri from paris, tipsy, dj me dj you,
fantastic plastic machine, le tone, kahimi karie...  i don't mean for it to
be electronic-based bands only, but perhaps there's some bias towards that
end of the spectrum.  "rock/indie" bands like stereolab and comed and high
lamas, etc.  wouldn't be inappropriate.

actually i don't mind talking older music as well.  later stuff like disco
and 80s acts, bands like YMO, art of noise, giorgio moroder, kraftwerk, the
plastics and whatnot could "fit in".  the door's wide open as far as i'm
concerned.

basically, i love the exotica list but always felt the "new stuff" that
came up once in a while on here deserved it's own forum as well.

there is a website in the works, but it's long-delayed and probably will
not happen for a few more months - the meat of which will be the master
list of bands/artists and partial discographies as well as articles and
reviews of said bands.

anyway, come say hi and sign up if you wish.  either go to
http://www.egroups.com/list/popnouveau

or send an e-mail to [e-mail]

if you have trouble doing so just email me and i'll sign you on.

thanks,
kevin leeeeee

Subject: (exotica) Cargo cult movement awaiting arrival of millennium darkness in PNG


   AUCKLAND, Dec 28 (AFP) - A cargo cult-like movement which
believes the world will go dark Saturday and all expatriates will
vanish has formed in Papua New Guinea, the Independent weekly has
reported in Port Moresby.
   Its latest issue says the movement was formed near the Fly
River, a remote area west of the capital on the border with the
Indonesian province of Irian Jaya.
   The Independent said the movement is centred at Kikisram
village.
   Called the Rainbow Church, members have left their villages to
build new houses and a large building called the "Dark House."
   The movement is led by a person titled the principal and it
believes that on January 1, 2000 the world will go dark.
   Members believe all expatriates will vanish from Papua New
Guinea that day.
   The newspaper said the movement is causing division and
ill-feeling among many villages in the West Awin area, and North Fly
police are monitoring the situation.
   It is possible the movement is linked to a rumour that the main
supermarket in the town of Kiunga is giving out free food.
   Hundreds of people were waiting outside the store last week,
expecting food handouts.
   Cargo cults are a reaction to the materialism of the white
cultures that came into Melanesia in the past century.
   They have a millenarian feature in believing that a mystery
ship, or plane, will arrive to bring enough food and goods so people
no longer have to work. Some of the cults came about during World
War II when tonnes of materials arrived on American ships and
aircraft.
   Although often treated with humour by the West, cargo cults have
also represented a nationalist ideology and are often seen by
existing governments as a potential threat.

Subject: (exotica) Playlist for "Mondo Bongos" Dec 29, 1999

"Mondo Bongos" can be heard every Wednesday mornings at 9 on CFRU 93.3fm in
Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Comments & questions welcome.

For the last show of the 20th Century I decided to play some of my all-time
favourite records. I don't consider any of these necessarily the best
records of ever made, just ones near and dear to my heart.
As I only have an hour, a number of bands had to be cut ("...no way that
the Buzzcocks or Cabaret Voltaire are going to fit...I won't play Neu or
Silver Apples because I play them all the time anyway...playing God Save
the Queen or Anarchy in the UK is too obvious, why don't I play a b-side
instead?"). Some bands, well, I couldn't decide on just one song.

Here's what I came up with...

Slapp Happy - Casablanca Moon "Slapp Happy"
Can - Dizzy Dizzy "Soon Over Babaluma"
Pere Ubu - Final Solution 7"

Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat "White Light/White Heat"
Suicide - Ghost Rider "Suicide"
The Stooges - Loose "Funhouse"
The Ramones - Blitzkreig Bop "The Ramones"
Sex Pistols - Did You No Wrong 7"

Joy Division - She's Lost Control "Unknown Pleasures"
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart 7"
Pere Ubu - Humour Me "The Modern Dance"

Eno - Burning Airlines Give You So Much More "Taking Tiger Mountain (By
Strategy)"
John Cale - Momamma Scuba "Fear"
Robert Wyatt - Sea Song "Rock Bottom"

Until next time...
Allan

I read this article with great interest and with some surprise as I hadn't
heard of Cargo Cults in years. Anyone interested in reading more about
these very bizarre millenarian movements might want to track down a copy of
Friedrich Steinbauer's "Melanesian Cargo Cults" (University of Queensland
Press. 1979).

I've been fascinated by this for years: this belief that consumer goods can
be obtained via magical means.
