Subject: (exotica) Hendricks and Ross article

Today's Washington Post has a great heartwarming article featuring Annie
Ross and Jon Hendricks (with many memories of Dave Lambert)  Hendricks
and Ross are performing tonight at the Kennedy Center, and I'm bumming
because I didn't find out about it earlier and the thing is sold out.

For those who are new to the list, Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross created
some of the best jazz/swing vocal performances in the late 50's and
early 60's - and one of my favorite versions of Caravan.

the article says Hendricks and Ross are planning to record a selection
of Dizzy Gillepsie tunes later this year.

If you wanna read a great interview with Annie Ross, check:
http://www.mrlucky.com/songbirds/html/sep99/9909_aross.html
(nice one, Steve "Mr. Lucky" Sando!)

They even discuss my first experience of Ross, her appearance in
Our Gang Follies of 1938, performing a swinging jivey Loch Lomond
at Club Spanky, the nightclub tailored for kids. Seeing that short
on TV way back then was my first inkling of the swell life!

> Any more Joe Meek info/recommendation are welcome.

Meek's "I Hear a New World" really is a weird classic. A copy should be in
every list members collection.

Other recommendations:

You have to remember that Meek produced a lot of junk of the
teen-idol-pop-schlock variety, so several of the compilations are hit and
miss in terms of quality music. But when he was good, he produced some
classic tunes.

CDs to buy:

"It's Hard to Believe It: The Amazing World of Joe Meek" [Razor & Tie].
This is probably the best place to start, not only because it is a U.S.
release and cheaper than the UK imports. This cd has some of Meek's best
productions including The Tornados' "Telsar", John Leyton's "Johnny
Remember Me", The Honeycombs' "Have I the Right" and Heinz's "Just Like
Eddie".

If you have some spare cash, why not try:

"Joe Meek presents 304 Holloway Road" [Sequel] which has some nice tunes by
the The Puppets, The Fabulous Flee Rakkers and The Packabeats. Also has
awful tunes by Iain Gregory and Peter Cook (no, not that one) whose version
of "Georgia on my Mind" will induce seizures.

"Intergalactic Instros" [Diamond Recordings]. This one is a personal
favourite. Instrumentals by the usual Meek suspects: The Tornadoes, Flee
Rekkers, The Moontrekkers and Sounds Incorporated.

Hearing a new world,

Allan

OH NO!!!!!

I just did an eBay search, and there IS an auction of
Adolf Hitler's records. Pictures and everything!
It's auction #231077051 and the exact title is
"Adolf Hitlers Personal record collection"

Sadly, the $49,ooo is a little out of my price range,
and anyways, I already have a 78 of Die Flaudermaus.
(The seller won't take rolled pennies.)

Only the track "Bliss" which was on the "California Dreamin' - Jazz

Why is it everything Moritz writes sounds like an urban myth?
Maybe it's just the translation.
Somebody was found in "a recreation sanitorium near Frankfurt"?
Maybe they also found Jimmy Hoffa's grave while they were there.

I'm not replying in order to praise Lou or to bury him but an obit like
this one illustrates what I like about them.
I must say that when I first joined the list and the obits started
arriving, I wondered what they were doing there but I basically just
accepted them, like I accepted a bunch of other stuff.
But then one day, something clicked and it all seemed strangely relevant,
if only in a very oblique way.
Except for the stuff that God made, everything else you see and hear around
you was made by some guy or gal but until you stop and start to think about
something, you tend to think of it as something that just "is".  You don't
think "Somebody designed that.  Some people at a meeting had to decide
whether they'd produce that.  Some people spent their lives selling that"
When you start becoming aware of something - like say instrumental "muzak"
of the fifties and early sixties - you look at it (and listen to it)
differently.  And inevitably you start to attach names to it.  In a sense,
you "humanize" it, or personalize it.
It's no longer some weird crap you used to hear playing in the background
at that Polynesian restaurant your parents took you to.   Now it's "Oh this
is a Martin Denny piece".

Of course I knew - "intellectually" - that once upon a time some cartoonist
sat at his/her desk and drew Cinderella.  But I didn't know that one
cartoonist specialized in drawing the female characters.  That little
detail changes my view of Disney cartoons forever.
Now it's going to be "Oh I bet Marc Davis drew that".  Even if I forget his
name, I'm going to be thinking that.

So even if the obits are not about musicians, I find them consistent with
the kinds of things a list like this addresses.  Admittedly it's a kind of
metaphoric relationship more than a direct relationship.  But it works for me.
Somebody finds a record on Design or Custom and it has no credits of any
kind and then someone tells you "Oh, Jerry Cole led that session".
It changes the way you look at the record.  It changes the way you look at
the production of music, period.

This is the same thing for me.  I kind of like that today I'm mourning the
death of someone who, last night, I didn't know existed.

Nat

The other day I found a cut that I thought would be perfect for this.  It's
from this series of records that I believe only came out in Canada.  All
the records have the same cover, an ugly montage that says "Canada".  But
the records are all over the place, including a fair bit of pretty good jazz.
This cut was a way over the top version of "Aquarius" with way too much bad
electric sitar by someone named Gerry Hoelke.  (Someone run a search on
that name.)
Now, if someone were compiling CD's or tapes of stuff like this, if
everyone sent their material to one central place and then they would
receive a full compilation back... if that's the way it worked, I'd sign up.
But the idea of this "ring" where you're constantly sending a few tunes and
receiving a few and then sending them on.... I can't do that.  Just ask
anyone I owe a tape to.  I'm just bad at going to the post office.

So if the idea changes, lemme know.

Nat

Subject: (exotica) Visual crime jazz

If you're attracted to reading material with saucy titles like
"Gangster Gun Molls," "Teen-Age Dope Slaves" and "Murder
Incorporated," you'll love browsing the Crime Boss Web site of
Richard Wolfe, a collector of classic crime comic books of the
1940s and 1950s. While a heated "Why you red-headed wildcat!"
(Crimes By Women number 12, 1950) is about as profane as the texts
got in those days, the suggestive artwork mixed with plenty of crime
and violence was enough to spark a Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile
Delinquency in 1954 - a development covered in Wolfe's "History"

Richard Wagner was Hitler's favorite composer. So why should he have to save his
career, especially since he died in 1883, 6 years before Hitler was born?

Ooops! Almost forgot! (And noone else has mentioned it so far):

The first baby born in the new millennium is a Maori child, so it was
born under the protection of the god of the gods, god of the artists,
god of the luau, god of exotica, our beloved friend TIKI!

If that isn't a good omen, I dunno...

Subject: (exotica) wnyc on-line

While poking around the WNYC web site, I think I discovered something
I wasn't supposed to find - a live feed in Windows Media Player format.

Here's the address:
http://wnyc.org/musicculture/spinning/ram/wnycfm.asx
There's a feed for their AM signal also:
http://wnyc.org/musicculture/spinning/ram/wnycam.asx

Anyway, if you're gonna check it out, be sure to tune in tonite at
10pm EST, for the latest episode of David Garland's Spinning on Air:

January 14, 2000
Spinning On Air in the year 2000! The year 2000 has long been a significant chronological
landmark, inspiring prophesies, predictions, fantasies, and...music. Friday night at 10pm David
Garland explores some of the ways the past has envisioned this future of today. From Edward
Bellamy's utopian novel of 1888, "Looking Backward 2000-1887," to Y2K novelty songs and the
forecasts of crackpots and science fiction writers, we'll find out what has and hasn't come true.

In a 1950 issue of "Popular Mechanics" it was predicted that "Because everything in her home is
waterproof, the housewife of 2000 can do her daily cleaning with a hose!"

A best seller in the late Nineteenth Century, Edward Bellamy's "Looking
Backward 2000-1887" tells of a communal, state-run USA in the year 2000,
where all salaries are equal, citizens pay with "credit cards," and something
quite like radio is considered the ultimate felicity of civilization.
http://wnyc.org/musicculture/spinning/ram/SOAaudioNew.html


I have a feeling that as soon as they realize their signal has gotten
out on-line before they intended, they'll disable it -- but give it
a try tonite.

No, it's public - but very welcome - news. Their feed just launched this

The prisoners, usually Jewish, who were musically proficient (not to start a

Believe me: I had my doubts too, when Franz Aumuller told me that story. But
since Wilp has confirmed it, it's all of the sudden simply the plain truth.
Things like these make me really love life.

Subject: (exotica) Joe Meek Is From Mars

The link to Meek should be
http://www.concentric.net/%7Emeekweb/telstar.htm

I read in this mornings newspaper that life may have existed on Mars while
the earth was still a hot volcanic unsuitable for life planet.  The article
stated that it is possible that a meteor from Mars brought life to earth
and we are all Martians.   I don't know about the rest of us,  but as for Joe
Meek........

"I Hear A New World", subtitled "An Outer Space Music Fantasy"
"Composed and devised by Joe Meek, featuring the BLUE MEN, directed by Rod
Freeman ( RPM Records1991? or 1998?)

This is a all mid-range lots of treble, maximum compression, reverb, echo,
effects, Nutty squirrel/chipmunk voices, outer spacey romp from the early
60's by Joe Meek   This outer space adventure sounds more like the
beginnings of Telestar, with soft vocals and chipmunks from Mars vocals,  and
strange effects such as " running water being blown through drinking straws "
& "the teeth of the comb drawn across an ashtray"  and the wonderful sound of
the clavoline instrument.    At the Joe Meek web site this album is called
the
pop worlds first ever concept album.   For pop/rock & roll it is a very
original album.  For exotica it has nothing over some of the great outer
space records except for Joe Meek's zany personality which makes me want to
laugh at some of the sounds he juxtaposes on the cuts.

Any more Joe Meek info/recommendation are welcome.  For more information
check out the tremendous Joe Meek web site, with great sound clips at
hyyp://www.concentric.net/%7Emeekweb/telstar.htm

Easy listening in the Big Easy

Only if you tell us the secret meaning of "23" and Hitler, Mo.

Jimmy Hoffa was a boss in the Teamsters union, an organization notorious
for its links to the Mafia and its rough trade. Immensely powerful guy,
real nasty. He was kidnapped from the parking lot of a fancy Detroit
restaurant and never seen or heard from again. Rumors were he had double
crossed the wrong people once too often and....His body was never found. In
the 70s in Detroit, Hoffa's stronghold and the place where he disappeared,
everyone joked that Jimmy Hoffa was literally a cornerstone of any new
skyscraper that went up, a foundation for new freeways, etc. etc. What else
would you expect from Motor City Meatheads? (cousins of the Baltimorons)

Ya lost me there, pal. Does 23 have some kind of significance to Germans
that we just don't elsewhere? Or maybe there's some cabalistic secret I'm
not in on?   Or maybe I just need remedial lessons on Hitler. Explanations
from any quarter welcome.

Subject: Re:  (exotica) Tiki News

Hey
thanks for askin

with all the DJ gigs and promoting live shows I got lost in a mire of phone
calls, working, going out

believe me I did not waste much time sleeping last year!

(skip to the bottom if you've heard this) I finally DID put out an issue of
Tiki News on Nov 1, 1999

It is still new because I didn't send out the retail copies until about a
month later AND didn't send out any promo copies cause I didn't feel like it
AND the subscribers whose subscriptions lapsed were not notified because I
didn't feel like spending another $30.00 on a postcard mailing to remind them

My apologies if you fell into this last group

Furthermore, because the issue is a coouple pages thicker and the cover is a
bit thinner (it's color) the post office automated machinery (if it's all
automated what do all those employees do [besides shoot their bosses]? )
shredded dozens of issues I mailed out so some subscribers didn't get their
issue even if they paid for it! And I wouldn't know about most of those
unless they told me.

________________
Issue #15 - the color cover issue has artwork by House Industries on the
cover and tons of the info we are known for inside including a few pages of
music reviews (for what they are worth)
The new issue is $3.95 ppd
A sub is the same price as before but you get half as many issues
I think the new price brings us in line with similar zines that, quite
frankly, I think we are better than.

Have Tiki News delivered direct to your hale for the same price you'd pay for
buying it off the shelf!
That's not all - all subscribers get a year end gift to show our appreciation.
Here's all you have to do:
Send cash, or a cheque made out to
Schwarz Grafiken,
in the amount of $12 for one year/3 issues. ($24 overseas)
And mail that off to
Tiki News
2215-R Market Street #177
San Francisco, CA 94114

Please specify which issue you want your sub to begin with and if you would
like back issues credited to your sub (ie if we have 3 back issues available
we will send you those 3 Tiki News' and your sub will be filled.)  We have
issues 11, 12, 13 available for the paltry sum of $2.00 each ppd. ($4.00
overseas)
