Hey, time is worth something, right?  We all give a little and whoever
dedicates the time and (considerable) resources to actually making it work
should be able get a "taste" as you put it.

Unless some wants to be an Exotican  Monk cloistered in a dark apartment

Nat talked about the Fela one groove thang. Which got me wondering if the

another plateau. And so on til the place was high high high. Or was there
more modulation, like with King Sunny Ade all three times I saw him
perform? The King's wild ride. Or was it like Ebanezer Obey, who started
high and pretty much sustained the energy at teetering levels? Anyone lucky

Subject: (exotica) [obits] Don Martin,Bernhard Wicki,Wilbur Campbell,Billy Davenport

    MIAMI (AP) -- Don Martin, longtime Mad magazine cartoonist who
drew an assortment of wild-haired characters, punctuating the
grotesque action with wacky words like SPLOP! and POIT!!, has died.
He was 68.
    Martin died of cancer at Baptist Hospital, hospital spokeswoman
Christine Thompson said today.
    During his 30-odd years as a Mad contributor, Martin based his
humor on misery and misfortune, to crack ``sick'' jokes. The
magazine dubbed him ``Mad's Maddest Cartoonist.''
    The guy poisoning pigeons in the park -- ``I hate pigeons'' --
winds up killing the people who gather around to sample his
scrumptious popcorn. Mona Lisa, as the reader realizes only in the
last frame of the strip, is sitting on a toilet. Hapless boobs with
big feet get squashed in all manner of ways.
    ``There's always been physical suffering in comedy,'' he once
said. ``Even ancient clowns kicked each other in the seat of the
pants or hit each other over the head. It's the same thing in our
time, just a little stronger.''
    The cartoons had a vocabulary all their own. ``SHKLIP'' was the
sound made when construction workers tossed concrete at each other.
``SPLOP'' described a surgeon throwing body parts into a doggie
bag. ``FAGROON'' came from a collapsing skyscraper.
    His license plate read ``SHTOINK.''
    ``Is it funny? That's the only test I know when it comes to
cartooning,'' Martin once said. ``Not whether it's sick, or whether
it's going to ruin people's values or morals. You only have to ask
a simple question: Is it funny?''
    His twisted approach influenced generations of younger
cartoonists.
    ``Don Martin was the one who really stood out,'' Gary ``The Far
Side'' Larson told The Miami Herald in 1990. ``I really always
loved his work. He was such a great artist.''
    Martin left Mad magazine in 1987 after a falling-out with its
publisher, the late William Gaines, accepting a job at Cracked, a
competitor.
    Martin chafed at the tradition that Mad, like most publishers,
retained all rights to reprint and profit from his work that it
used, paying him on a free-lance basis. But he put out paperbacks
of cartoons not published in the magazine, eventually selling more
than 7 million copies.
    Martin drew despite a degenerative eye condition that forced him
to undergo cornea transplants, wear special, highly uncomfortable
contact lenses and use a magnifying glass while drawing.
    ``He was a shy and retiring sort of guy, considering he drew a
comic strip that was crazy,'' said a longtime friend, Laurence
Donovan.
    Martin was born in Clifton, N.J., and began his undergraduate
work at the Newark Institute. He earned a fine arts degree from the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He began submitting drawings to
the fledgling Mad magazine in the mid-50s.

Ten Years After His Death, Python In New Stunt

(AP/IMDb) More than a decade after his death in October, 1989, the ashes of
former Monty Python member Graham Chapman were reportedly shot into the skies
over a Welsh mountain on New Year's Eve

The midnight stunt was evidently the idea of Chapman's long-time life partner,
David Sherlock, and is said to have been Chapman's last request. Sherlock
supervised, and the Dangerous Sports Club managed the firing.

Asked by a reporter for the London Daily Record why he took so long to carry
out Chapman's wish, Sherlock replied, "I simply hadn't gotten around to it."
- -------------------
MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Swiss film director and actor Bernhard Wicki, one
of the most acclaimed film-makers in the German language and co-director of the
Hollywood war epic ``The Longest Day,'' died Wednesday aged 80.

A spokeswoman for his agent said he had died in his flat in Munich after a long
illness.

Wicki started out as an actor but is best remembered for his career as a
director, which began in 1959 with the highly regarded anti-war film ``Die
Bruecke'' (The Bridge).

The success of that film brought him to Hollywood where his credits included
``The Longest Day'' in 1962.

He also directed ``The Visit'' with Ingrid Bergman and Anthony Quinn in 1964
and ``Morituri'' with Marlon Brando in 1965.

As an actor his achievements included the role of a dying writer in
Michelangelo Antonioni's ``La Notte'' in 1960.

Born in Austria in 1919, Wicki studied theater under the legendary German actor
Gustav Gruendgens.

In 1938 he spent 10 months in the Nazi concentration camp at Sachsenhausen
because of his communist views and his membership of the radical Bauhaus school
of architecture.

The U-SPACES mailing list has an extremely systematic method of sending out
its Psychedelic Archaeology CDs. If I can remember correctly, no money is
actually exchanged -- all one sends out is an SASE and two blank CDs for
every CD burned, or something like that.

To handle copyright stuff, the prospective track list is sent to the entire
mailing list for crosschecking: any tracks which have appeared on CD
compilations or have been reissued are discarded. But of course, we're all
just talking about exposure to various genres here, right? So it shouldn't
have to be so elaborate.

Perhaps we can have two representative tracks from each little sub-genre
(now figuring those out would be an interesting thread). A kind of Exotica
sampler, maybe.

The idea of an Exotican Monk sounds highly appealing. An acolyte of St.
Martin and San Juan Garcia, perhaps?

I can't think of a bigger influence on my sense of humor as a child than his

Great idea. What I remember about international copyright, money is the
test. Once $$ changes hands, the laws/Berne agreements are bent too much.

Another way to play a little fast and loose with copyrights. Copyrighted
material can be reproduced free of charge for educational purposes. So
maybe instead of a monastery dedicated to St. Martin and San Juan Garcia,
we need to set up eXotica University, extension class materials on CD-R. C.

This is bound to create some disagreements, but here's my stab at a "young
person's first exotica (and etcetera) library." All are 90s CDs. Trying to
stick more to the core, rather than straying into soft pop and everywhere
else.

Various artist comps:

"Best Of Moog" (Loud)

"Cocktail Mix, Vol. 1: A Bachelor's Guide To The Galaxy" (Rhino)

"The History Of Space Age Pop" 3 volumes (RCA)

"RE/Search: Incredibly Strange Music, Vol. 1" (Caroline)

"RE/Search: Incredibly Strange Music, Vol. 2" (Asphodel)

"Music For A Bachelor's Den, Vol. 2: Exotica" (DCC)

"Music For A Bachelor's Den, Vol. 4: Easy Rhythms For Your Cocktail Hour"
(DCC)

"Only In America" (Arf Arf)

"The Sound Gallery, Volume 1" (Scamp)

"Ultra Lounge, Vol. 1: Mondo Exotica" (Capitol)


Single artists:

Burt Bacharach - "Casino Royale" soundtrack (Varese Sarabande)

Les Baxter - "The Exotic Moods Of Les Baxter" (Capitol)

Martin Denny - "Exotica/Exotica II" two-fer (Scamp)
      "      - Capitol's 2-disc set (I forget the title)

Esquivel - "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" (Bar/None)
   "     - "Infinity In Sound, Vols. 1 & 2" two-fer (Bar/None)

Neal Hefti - "Batman Theme & 19 Hefti Bat Songs" (Razor & Tie)

Mel Henke - "La Dolce Henke" (Scamp)

Enoch Light - "Persuasive Percussion" (Varese Sarabande)

Henry Mancini - "Touch Of Evil" soundtrack (Varese Sarabande)

Hugo Montenegro - "The Music From Uncle" (Razor & Tie)

101 Strings - "Astro-Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000" (Scamp)

Perez Prado - "Voodoo Suite/Exotic Suite Of The Americas" two-fer (Bear
Family)

Andre Popp - "Delirium In Hi-Fi" (Basta)

Lalo Schifrin - "Music From Mission: Impossible" (Hip-O)

Raymond Scott - "Reckless Nights & Turkish Twilights" (Basta; also now out
in US on, uh, Sony? RCA?)

Yma Sumac "Voice Of The Xtabay" (EMI/The Right Stuff)
(actually a two-fer of the "Xtabay" and "Inca Taqui" records)

Oooh, I love it when people - other than me - try to split hairs.
Especially when discussing genres that were just identified and are none

Is there a difference between soft pop and sunshine pop?  There is if you
want to say that there is.
I use the terms interchangeably but I could see them split into two
different genres.  If I was to do that, I'd say that sunshine pop is soft
pop that has lots of bababada choruses and sunshiney themes.
So that Tommy Roe and the Sandpipers might be soft pop but The Association
would be sunshine pop.
I think that would actually be a worthwhile distinction.

Well I wasn't sure I wanted to participate in this but if you call it a
"daisy chain", how can I resist?  So count me in, whatever it is.
But is this actually going to create any actual compilation tapes that
someone could own?  I guess I don't understand it.
Oh and I don't have a CD burner.  I will get one but first my friend's new
TV series has to be picked up.

I guess I could just go to the movie database but are you sure about that?

I thought she was only allowed to direct once and I thought she directed
that Billy Crystal piece of crap "Rabbit Test".  No wait, maybe that was
Joan Rivers.  I know it was some TV hack who never got to do it again,
thank God.

Which reminds me.  A long time ago, when I was first trying to make films,
we used to joke around that Stevie Wonder would probably get to make a film
before any of us did.  Then a few years ago, I read that itruth was once
again proving to be stranger than fiction and indeed Stevie was about to
direct his first film.
Or maybe it was just a video.
But either way, does anyone know what happened to that?

It couldn't be any worse than "Can't Stop the Music".

Subject: (exotica) burning idea in action

wow...looks like i have generated some excitement on this idea...
that is GREAT, however some of you have come up with ideas that,
to me, seem like a hassle...
i was trying to think of the EASIEST, drag-free way to do something like this.

and Nathan, i am not leaving anybody out of this!
everyone is welcome, cassette people, mp3 peeps or
even people with no collection at all.

so this is for all those who want to be a part of this (say "Exotica
Ring"!) and you already have or plan to make a tape or cd you want to
circulate
OR you just want to recieve them.
(it is not manditory to have something to send)

1. send me your name, snail-mailing address and E-EMAIL address.
[e-mail]  put EXOTICA RING in the subject line.

2, i will compile them and send them to everyone involved.
   i will personalize each list, jumbling the order so no one person gets a
bunch of cd's at once. and i will put your name last so you eventually get
your cd back.

3. mail your tape or cd to the first person on the list
with a copy of YOUR list.

4. that lucky person keeps the disc or cassette for a week or two and
then sends it to the next person on the list.
no time limit, just a courtesy.
thats it.

5. this is endless.
   when you have something to send, just send it...(along with your list)

6. be sure to put your mailing info on the disk or cassette in case their
is a foul up somewhere and the person holding it loses the list and does
not know where to send it.

how does that sound? easy enough huh?
let me know of any flaws in the plan.
i am not talking about $$$ here...if you sign up you may have to send
something clear across the world. (no surface mail) all first class baby!
this is a luxury and we are all big spenders. (when it comes to music)

those of you with cassettes,
i will volunteer to make a cd dub of them if you wish but you need to
send me a blank "cdr-audio". i have a Philips component deck.


if all of this sounds just dandy to you...
i will put a deadline on you getting me your info as
being January 19th 2000.
Edgar Allan Poe's birthday.
He is buried here in Baltimore.
i was going to make it b-day of the Surrealist Manifesto of 1925 on the 27th
but i wanted to localize it, plus it seemed too far away.

any other suggestions on what we should call this Exotica Ring?

p.s  on the hard-ass side of it...
    this service is a one time offer from me, i do not plan to update the
list down the road...so any newcomers or hold outs will not be able to
participate if i do not get your info by the 19th.  other people can
organize the list if they want to later on.

bump out

BOSTON   Look for a stylish new club called "Lilli's" to open in Somerville
(MA) by springtime. Owners Lilli Dennison, Brother Cleve, and Patrick
Sullivan (also owner of the B-Side Lounge in Cambridge) just purchased Club 3
in Somerville and have grand plans to convert the 380-person space into a
"real friendly place with a lounge feel," says Dennison. She anticipates
booking bands five nights a week with DJ entertainment the other two nights
overseen by Brother Cleve.
            "We're going to be eclectic. We'll do everything with a twist,"
she says. "As of next week we're completely rebuilding the space and will
hopefully open in April."

No way is Tommy Roe "soft"!
I mean, "Jam Up and Jelly Tight"?
Tommy Roe is *bubblegum*.  ;)

Not too long ago there was discussion of the Warner Brothers Stereo
Workshop Series.  I just got a demo album which, I believe, has selections
from four of the albums in the series.  If you can't get the series...then
maybe this one album will quench your thirst!

Of course, it may be hard to find.  This is the first copy I have seen.

It is SRS1  Warner Brothers  SEARS Silvertone Demonstration Album.  It
features three selections from Mel Henke (Every Little Movement/Streets of
Cairo, Flying Trapeeze, South Meets North), two from Shorty Rogers (Speak
Low  and Baubles, Bangles and Beads), three from Buddy Cole (Caravan, Theme
from Picnic/Moonglow and Cherokee) and two from David Swift (Blues on
Parade, The Original Boogie Woogie).

Can't listen to it yet...have yet to find my amp in all the boxes I opened
up so far from my move.

Pardon me for taking a different tack, but it's the Year 2000 -- couldn't
we do it through the Net?

An archive of MP3s would require a lot of server space and probably be
busted eventually.

But for a different example, look at all of the DJs on this list with live
and/or archived web-radio shows -- some are spinoffs of broadcast radio,
some are pure webcasts. And apparently quite legal (yet).

So why not a "Radio Free Exotica" webcast?

I'm sure someone out there would be glad to be the "house DJ" (or the post
could be shared or rotated) and put the show together. The rest of us could
send tracks in (via Net or snail mail) to him/her/them for inclusion in the
show.

Maybe a weekly show? It could tie right in to current threads on the list.

There would be technical issues to hash out (format, finding a host, etc),
but I think it would be mighty slick and, dare I say, *space age*. Any
thoughts? Ron? Luxuria gang?

::::::

And a side note to the newbies seeking to hear more of what we're talking
about: you can hear much of it right now on the webcasts I mentioned.

For starters, there's Darrell's Retro Cocktail Hour (just posted earlier
this evening):
http://www.ukans.edu/~kanu-fm/retro.html

But you know, this would be a good time for all of our web DJs to pipe in
with a roll call of their URLs and broadcast times.

I'm sure even us oldbies wouldn't mind the opportunity to update our
bookmarks.

Yes indeed, I am sure about that, Nat.  I read about "Can't Stop the Music"
in "The Golden Turkey Awards" by the Medveds.  She said of her directing,
"What I am trying to acheive is a sense of rhythms".  The book goes into
quite a bit of detail about the film.  So much detail that it has deterred
me from ever seeing the movie (not to mention an antipathy for the Village
People's music).

"Rabbit Test" was co-written and directed by Joan Rivers.  In her
autobiography, she disowned the movie, saying that there were two scenes
she felt good about.

Both women share the dubious honor of having directed only one theatrical
release.

Back to music, sort of.  Walker's Broadway album still haunts me, since I
used to go in the Tower Records in San Diego many moons ago and I can still
conjure up the image of Walker, mouth agape as if she were screaming a
Frank Loesser tune.  I haven't heard the album, but I do rather like the
score to "Hans Christian Anderson", which has Danny Kaye singing.  It's the
Loesser of two egos.

Had to get that (literal and figurative) gag in,
Brian Phillips
