The Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack is, in my humble opinion, one of the

   I agree, the Vampyros soundtrack is one of the best cd's I've heard in
the exotica/strange/pervert  genre. Its got the Now Sound elements of sitar,
organ, worldless vocals, cool drum fills, guitar et. al. but done in a
consistently entertaining and varied way that elevates the music into the
realm of actual musical composition, rather than mere bump'n'grind
soundtrack. (Yikes!!)
   Interested myself in what the other Crippled Dick, etc., soundtracks are
like (ie, Schulmadchen Report or whatever). there seems to be a plethora of
them (esp. the Italian ones) and since I'm a cheapskate I don't like to
plunk down full price if I'm not sure what I'm getting.... which is why folx
reviews on this list are most excellent.
    So speaking of which, any recommendations in this area?

Subject: (exotica) [obits] James Card,Doris Parker


    ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) -- James Card, a leader in film preservation
who built the George Eastman House museum into a major movie
archive and was co-founder of the Telluride Film Festival, has died
at age 84.
    Card died Sunday at a hospital in Syracuse after a lengthy
illness.
    A movie buff since his youth, Card was the first film curator of
Eastman House, the 50-year-old photography museum established in
the mansion of Eastman Kodak Co. founder George Eastman.
    During a nearly 30-year career there, he oversaw the growth of
the museum's film collection.
    ``The motion picture collection would not exist without James
Card,'' said Paolo Cherchi-Usai, senior film curator at the museum.
``He started it all. He gave the collection a cultural identity of
international scope.''
    He was also credited with helping revive interest in the career
of silent film star Louise Brooks, a famous beauty of the '20s who
made films in both Hollywood and Germany. Card persuaded her to
move to Rochester in the 1950s, when she was all but forgotten, and
encouraged her to write. By the time she died in 1985, she was a
widely published writer and a cult figure for many movie fans.
    ``Card's effect on her was tonic,'' author Barry Paris wrote in
his book ``Louise Brooks.'' ``It manifested itself in a sharp
upswing in her mood and a sudden awareness of her past achievements
and present capabilities. ... In the next few weeks, she would
reveal more of her soul to Jim Card than to any man in her life.''
    Card wrote about his life in his 1994 book ``Seductive Cinema:
The Art of Silent Film.''
    Card co-founded the Telluride Film Festival in 1974 and served
on the board of directors of the Montreal World Film Festival,
Eastman House said. He also taught film studies at Syracuse
University and the University of Rochester.
    ``My own hell would be to have a projector and all the films but
no one around to see them with me,'' he once wrote.
    Card bought his first movie while studying at the University of
Heilderberg in Germany -- a print of ``The Cabinet of Dr.
Caligari.'' By the late 1940s, he had amassed 800 films. He worked
at Kodak, then switched to curator of Eastman House's film
department in 1948, the year before the museum opened to the
public. He remained in that post until his retirement in 1977.
http://www.eastman.org/
[Personal note - I took several of Card's courses at Eastman House in
the mid-70s. We kept hoping he'd bring Louise Brooks to class, but he
never did. On the other hand, every time Mel Torme was in town, he'd
drop in and watch flicks with us. Card was an amazing fellow. -Lou]

Doris Parker, 77, a Crusader and Charlie
Parker's Widow

Doris Parker, widow of the jazz saxophonist Charlie (Bird) Parker,
who used his memory to fight drug addiction, died on Monday in
Manhattan. She was 77 and lived in Manhattan.

She died of respiratory failure, said a friend, Sarah Morgan.

Mrs. Parker was the third wife of Charlie Parker, the bebop innovator,
who died in 1955 at 34, his life cut short by alcohol and drug use. They
were married in 1948 and separated in 1950. (Parker considered Chan
Parker, who died last year, his fourth wife, but a spokesman for his
estate said they were not legally married.)

Doris June Sydnor Parker was born on Aug. 16, 1922, in Rock Island,
Ill. She came to New York at 22.

At six feet tall, she became a striking figure as a hat-check girl at the
Three Deuces, a West 52nd Street nightclub, where she met Charlie
Parker in 1945. They began living together in 1946.

When Parker, a heroin addict since his teenage years, spent six months in
a California mental hospital in 1947, she moved to Los Angeles to visit
and care for him. They were married in 1948 in Tijuana, Mexico, while
Parker was on a West Coast tour with the Jazz at the Philharmonic
concert series.

After his death, Mrs. Parker worked for 25 years as a secretary for
Columbia University. She also had a long career as a community activist,
working with groups like the Northwest Central Park Multiblock
Association and the Federation of West Side Block Associations.

In 1989, she organized the first Evening with Friends of Charlie Parker.
These benefits, at which associates of her husband like Max Roach and
Dizzy Gillespie performed without pay, became annual events to raise
money for Veritas, a drug rehabilitation program on the Upper West
Side.

"Maybe,' Mrs. Parker said of her husband in 1993, "he'll be remembered
as not just the most famous junkie of his time."

No immediate family members survive.

Yes, same here! Those CDs tend to be kind of expensive, so I would love some
recommendations...

As for Gert Wilden and Orchestra's "Schulmadchen Report" -- well, it's just
not as wokka-wokka as I was hoping it to be. Kind of reminiscent of the
weaker electric guitar-based tracks on "Beat at Cinecitta Vol. 1." Doesn't
come close to Hubler and Schwab.

On a slightly similar vein, what do you folks think of those "Sex-o-Rama"
CDs? I had the impression that they weren't the original tracks, but that
they were made by some cover band -- still, they seem kind of promising. Any
opinions, before I plunk down my cash for something bad (and slightly
embarrassing to have lying around the stereo, to boot)? =)

I love this album.  FOR ME, it's a great mix of the softer x-rated movie
soundtrack stuff with a slight electric feel.  More Now Sounding, less funk.
FOR ME, it's different then, Hubler and Schwab, more in a horned down Peter
Thomas vein.

Some sample lyrics:

The Armed Man, the Armed Man,
The Armed Man, the Armed Man..."

Well, it was popular.  In any case Josquin de Prez wrote Missa L'homme
arme', which I guess could be considered sampling, even though, of course,
people have to perform it.

Also, there was a form of music called the Quodlibet, which used theme and
variations from other sources.

There have been numerous Jazz compositions that are based on the same chord
progressions, yet are different songs.  "A.T.C." by Eddie Harris is the
chord progression to "C.T.A." by Miles Davis played in reverse.

I see vague references to this band on the Retro Cocktail Hour site...
on their website they indicate they are influenced by Baxter and Denny,
etc.

Anyone have anything to say about their CD "Voodoo Pinata"? Any place
with song samples? (Yes, I do see two tracks on last week's Retro
Cocktail hour, but trying to find a specific song within a 2 hr
real-audio stream is a big pain).

Subject: (exotica) [obit] Hedy Lamarr

                         *By MIKE SCHNEIDER
                      *Associated Press Writer
    ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Hedy Lamarr, Austrian-born actress whose
exotic glamour and sex appeal sparked a string of hit films of the
'30s and '40s, was found dead in her home Wednesday. She was 86.
    Miss Lamarr's death was being investigated, a routine manner in
an unattended death, said Steve Olson, a spokesman for the Seminole
County Sheriff's Office. The death was not suspicious, he said.
    She was billed as the world's most beautiful woman. Her pale
skin, almond eyes and dark hair gave her an exotic look, and her
films included ``Tortilla Flat,'' in which she played a
part-Mexican woman; ``White Cargo,'' playing the slave woman
Tondelayo; and ``Lady of the Tropics.''
    She was reputedly producer Hal Wallis' first choice for the
heroine Ilsa in the 1943 classic ``Casablanca,'' the part that
eventually went to Ingrid Bergman.
    But she claimed to scorn the glamorous image. In a 1942
Associated Press interview, she showed a reporter her house,
complete with hen house and home-made curtains, and implored: ``Now
you will not write I am a glamour girl?'''
    ``Any girl can be glamorous,'' she once said. ``All you have to
do is stand still and look stupid.''
    Among Miss Lamarr's leading men were William Powell
(``Crossroads,'' ``The Heavenly Body''); Spencer Tracy (``Boom
Town,'' ``Tortilla Flat''); Clark Gable (``Comrade X,'' also in
``Boom Town''); Robert Taylor (``Lady of the Tropics''); and Ray
Milland (``Copper Canyon'').
    She first achieved international fame and notoriety as a result
of the 1933 Czech film ``Ecstasy,'' in which she acted in a steamy
love scene and appeared nude in a 10-minute swimming sequence.
    Hollywood was decades away from such frankness, but it knew a
beautiful face and it knew the value of the publicity ``Ecstasy''
engendered.
    After a few years away from the camera as the wife of Fritz
Mandl, an Austrian munitions magnate, Miss Lamarr was signed by MGM
and brought to the United States in 1937. Her new screen name was
said to be an homage to the 1920s screen beauty Barbara La Marr.
    Her American film debut came in 1938 with ``Algiers,''
co-starring Charles Boyer. She played a wealthy adventuress and
became a box-office sensation despite grousing by Boyer that she
couldn't act.
    In its review, the show biz paper ``Variety'' disagreed. ``She
brings to the picture an abundance of good looks, acting talent and
enticement,'' its review said, praising her mastery of English and
adding that with a little encouragement, ``nothing apparently
stands between her and success in Hollywood films.''
    One of her most successful films was Paramount's 1949 ``Samson
and Delilah,'' directed by Cecil B. DeMille with Victor Mature as
Samson. She got a rare chance to try her hand at comedy in ``My
Favorite Spy,'' a 1951 Bob Hope film.
    Her career faded in the middle '50s, when she appeared in some
Italian productions. Her last film was ``The Female Animal'' with
Jane Powell in 1958.
    She said her career suffered because she wouldn't sleep with a
VIP just to get ahead. ``My problem is I'm a hell of a nice dame,''
she said in a 1970 interview. ``The most horrible whores are
famous. I did what I did for love. The others did it for money.''
    Her lurid 1966 autobiography ``Ecstasy and Me,'' filled with
sexy anecdotes including a couple involving other women, became a
best-seller. But she later sued, saying the manuscript prepared by
the ghostwriter was full of distortions and outright errors.
    Another side of her was described in the 1992 book ``Feminine
Ingenuity.'' Drawing upon knowledge about military products that
she picked up while married to Mandl, Lamarr came up with the idea
of a radio signaling device that would reduce the danger of
detection or jamming. She and a friend, composer George Antheil,
developed the idea further and received a patent in 1942.
    The method was not used in the war, but since the '80s,
high-tech versions of the concept, called ``spread spectrum,'' have
been used in some cordless phones, military radios and wireless
computer links.
    Lamarr is a ``huge part of the history of this industry,''
Proxim Inc. Chief Executive David C. King told The Wall Street
Journal in 1997. His company introduced a circuit board with spread
spectrum in 1989 and later put out hundreds of products using the
technology.
    The daughter of a banker, Lamarr was born Hedwig Kiesler in
Vienna on Nov. 9, 1913, although some references say 1914 or 1915.
Discovered as a teen-ager by Austrian director Max Reinhardt, she
began in films as a script secretary and bit player.
    She was married and divorced six times -- to Mandl, screenwriter
Gene Markey, actor John Loder, nightclub owner Ernest Stauffer, oil
millionaire W. Howard Lee, and lawyer Lewis W. Boies Jr.
    She adopted a son, James, and had two children with Loder,
Anthony and Denise.
    A pair of shoplifting arrests -- neither of which resulted in
convictions -- caused headlines in her later years.
    She was acquitted by a jury in Los Angeles on charges of
stealing $86 worth of merchandise from a department store in 1966.
    In August 1991, she was arrested and accused of stealing $21.48
worth of merchandise from a drugstore in Casselberry, Fla. She said
she and a companion forgot to put the items in their shopping cart.
Miss Lamarr was never formally charged.
    ``I'm sick and tired of being in the limelight,'' Miss Lamarr
told a New York radio station after the second incident.
    Her daughter, Denise Loder Deluca, said her mother was deluged
by sympathetic calls after the Florida arrest. ``It warms my heart
that people care,'' she said at the time. ``But she isn't down and
out, and she doesn't need help.''
    In recent years, the once-celebrated movie queen lived quietly
in a suburb of Orlando. Friends had said she was legally blind and
did not venture out on her own.

I would like to say that Hedy Lamarr was one of the most incredible women in
American history because of her incredible success in such diverse fields.

There is also something she was recently involved in that wasn't mentioned
in the obit. A couple years ago, Corel Paint had a photo of her face on all
of its packages, but they never paid her for it. She sued the pants off of
them and won.

Sorry for the off-topic post, but she deserves the extra bit of

So now that I have supposedly joined this daisy chain, this circle jerk,
this ring of dysfunction, this whatever it's called... is it off topic to
post a question to the exotica list?  Is there a special bumpy list to make
enquiries so that it doesn't bother those who didn't succumb to peer
pressure and join up?

I figured I'd better start my tape as soon as possible.  So I need some
guidance.

First off, I thought I'd try and fill a tape but I won't if you're really
only supposed to do a couple of tunes.
IF I fill a tape, I'll try to fill it with stuff that I'm guessing is
somewhat obscure, though I'm sure I can't fill it with stuff that no one's
heard.
I also thought I'd put on the odd thing that isn't that great but somehow
has value because of its obscurity. Or its over-the-topness.
I won't put the pressure on myself to make the tape "work" as a tape.
It'll be a bunch of cuts; if it works as a "piece", all the better.  But it
won't.
I can put the song list on the tape but it won't have much info.  I could
email it as a separate item.

Or am I all wrong?  Is someone going to tell me what I should put on my
tape?  Like maybe I should do a buncha Canadian stuff, which I was probably
going to do anyway.

The tape will begin with a Sonny Lester cut, that's all I can tell you.

Gentlemen (and women) start taping.

Nat

Subject: (exotica) New Hawaiian Finds

Found some cool stuff at Rasputin's in Newark, CA. Unfortunately, they
don't categorize any LPs which is a F-ing pain in the ass. But I
stumbled across these for 50 cents each!

The Don Ho Show - "Live" From Hawaii
Circa 1966-- a pretty good recording of his show at the time. A nice mix
of Hawaiian, Lounge, Rock, and Jazz.

The Music of Hawaii - National Hawaiian Orchestra
Says 1958 and it is a 33 1/3 LP, but it sounds sonically and musically
like the 20's or 30's. The Pops (and there are plenty of them) sound
better than the music... not a great pick. Worse, it says "hi fidelity"
when it obviously isn't.  Anyone who wants to send me postage can have
this for nothin'.

Finally, the pick of the litter:
Songs of Hawaii - Leo Addeo and his Orchestra.
1963, Featuring a gorgeous photo of Diamond Head. All the usual
favorites such as the Hawaiian War Chant, Hawaiian Wedding Song, and
Maui, Island of Joy. A nice mix of orchestral, percussion, and
"traditional" slack key guitar. Sounds great.

Will be happy to make a tape for someone (if you cover postage, or for
trade), or CD-R (you provide the CD-R player/burner). ;-)

 Sometime late in the run of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse", the theme song was
changed
 to sound less like Quiet Village. I guess that the publishers of QV made 'em
 do it.

The publishers had nothing to do with it. This was simply a composition which
Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo leader and Martin Denny fan) composed in the exotica
style for the TV show.

Subject: (exotica) For Surfers Only - Crown

Just got this generic surfsploitation lp
For Surfers Only - Alex Keack - Crown Records
found it in the surf section at a record shop that didn't have turntables to
listen to the lps so I had to take a chance on it
It shows a Hawaiian style girl kneeled before a longboard standing erect in
the sand

the title suggests surf music but the photo and song titles suggest Haole
Hawaiian music

some titles:
Magic Are The Islands
Polynesian Hay Ride
Sunset Over Kona
none of the titles refer to surf or surf music (except maybe "Latino" as a
reference to "Latina")

What IS on the disk as far as music is very good generic Exotica
Sure it's no Denny disk or Lyman lp but it is far from generic Haole
Hawaiian stuff and even better than Crown's generic surf albums!

the one annoying thing about this record  - and this is the only record I
have that does this - at the end of the record on each side is a lock groove
*alarm*
when the record is over it sounds like a car aloarm is going off!!!

Aloha
Otto
