Subject: (exotica) Maharishi Yogurt

I got an interesting record that definitely belongs in the Strange category.
Rocky Graziano as the Maharishi Yogurt.  All of 30 minutes features Rocky
Graziano with bad production values, terrible writing for various skits,
bad jokes and one song (the highlight of the LP).  Definitely late 1960's.
Great front cover with Rocky laying down with a sitar and a pair of boxing
gloves.

Maybe it lost something on realvideo, but I thought:
1. The ad was ineffective and boring.
2. The music was gratuitous...it had nothing to do with anything.

Sure, I enjoy Denny's music...but it actually bugged me in this context.  I
can think of far better places for it.

Now that commercial for Philips new flat screen TV's...I don't know what
music that is, but it is exotica or latin-flavored type music and the video
moves with it.

I see Scott Walker is doing the Meltdown festival at the south bank in

Does anyone have anything to say on 'Tilt',  his early 90's LP,  I only
found out about t recently from that 'Easy, the Encyclopedia of Lounge' (or

 *Thomas `Beans' Bowles
    DETROIT (AP) -- Thomas ``Beans'' Bowles, who played the saxophone
and flute on several Motown hits, died Friday of prostate cancer.
He was 73.
    In Detroit, Bowles worked various jazz clubs, including Sonny
Wilson's Forest Club and the Flame Showbar where he played with
Billie Holiday and Billy Eckstine before landing a management job
with Motown.
    Bowles contributed to several classic Motown hits, including
Marvin Gaye's ``Stubborn Kind of Fellow'' and ``What's Goin On,''
Martha and the Vandellas' ``Heat Wave'' and the Supremes' hit
``Baby Love.''
    Bowles created the ``Motown Revue'' along with Ester Gordy
Edwards, a sister of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy Jr.
    ``He left quite a legacy here,'' Teddy Harris, a Motown pianist,
said of Bowles. ``It's going to be a big hole left in the musical
community. He's going to be quite missed around here.''
    Bowles moved to Detroit from his hometown of South Bend, Ind.,
in 1944 to study at Wayne State University. He then left school and
played in a Navy band, which played nationally and internationally.

From the Locus Web page at http://WWW.LOCUSMAG.COM/2000/News/News01e.html:

"Golden Age SF writer A.E. van Vogt died Wednesday, January 26 of
complications of pneumonia. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's for the
last decade."

Van Vogt was one of the most popular writers of SF in the late 1930s and
1940s. The issue of Astounding containing his first published story,
"Black Destroyer," is considered the start of SF's "Golden Age," and in
his day he riveled Heinlein and Asimov in popularity, and his novel _Slan_
remains a favorite. His popularity waned in latter years due his
old-fashioned style, somewhat crackbrained ideas, and his involvement in a
number of psuedosciences, including Dianetics and General Semantics (which
heavily influenced his The World of Null A). His fixup novel The War
Against the Rull was recently reprinted by Tor books.

of 1750s Indian and French warfare in which she starred opposite George
Montgomery, and the sci-fi film "Invaders From Mars" in which she had top
billing as medical doctor Pat Blake. Carter retired from the screen after
her marriage to Michael Meshekoff, who preceded her in death. On Jan. 11 in
Culver City.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -

A mobster who died while serving time for drug trafficking got the last laugh - with his
obituary.

Saul Kane, 65, a former associate of Nicodemo ``Little Nicky'' Scarfo, died Jan. 20 of
respiratory problems linked to a heart condition.

Kane, who was serving a 25-year prison term in Louisville, Ky., had his family deliver a
death notice the newspapers couldn't refuse: It listed the imprisoned Scarfo as his
brother and Scarfo's son as one of his own sons. The notice was published Saturday in The
Philadelphia Inquirer and The Press of Atlantic City.

Listing Scarfo as a relative was Kane's way of pointing up his loyalty, according to an
unidentified investigator quoted by the Inquirer.

Kane was convicted in the drug case in 1987 and sentenced to 95 years in prison, in part
because he refused to give authorities information about Scarfo. The sentence was later
reduced.

``What he's saying is that he was loyal to the end,'' the investigator said. ``What he's
saying is that, unlike some others, he wasn't a rat.''

Kane had always had a reputation as a wiseguy, even among his fellow wiseguys.

He operated an Atlantic City lounge called the My Way - as in the Frank Sinatra song. When
law enforcement investigators identified the My Way as a mob hangout in the late 1970s,
Kane took out an advertisement in the Press saying, ``Come meet the Mob at the My Way.''

``The bottom line is, he got the last laugh. From the grave, he was still busting,'' mob
informant George Fresolone said in Tuesday's Inquirer.

* George Crowley; Invented Electric Blanket

     George Crowley, 80, who invented the electric blanket. The blanket
sprang from Crowley's work as a Navy engineer assigned to General Electric
Co. for World War II technical projects. He developed electrically heated
flying suits that enabled pilots to fly comfortably at altitudes above
antiaircraft fire, and decided the material could be used in blankets. GE
patented his electric blanket and hired him after the war. Crowley's work
there and for Northern Electric Co. led to about 80 patents for his
employers, and at the time of his death he had a patent pending for a device
to turn off an overheating blanket.
     Born in Keansburg, N.J., Crowley began inventing things as a child,
devising a system to warn him of parents approaching his third-floor room,
to open the dining room door for his mother, and to close curtains when
lights were switched on. Crowley studied engineering at the University of
Notre Dame. He also invented devices for painting golf balls, bouncing
tennis balls and chasing squirrels away from bird feeders. Often called as a
witness in lawsuits involving bedroom fires (most often caused by smoking in
bed), Crowley was a staunch believer in the safety of electric blankets and
used them all his adult life. On Jan. 15 in Pinehurst, N.C., of pneumonia.

Hello!

I have a growing scrapbook file of info on TIki bars that are
still in existence, and I remembered I had a little
something about the Bahooka which was in the newer
film version of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (not
the long forgotten Bill Murray one, but the Johnny Depp
one, haa haaaaa)

Heres what I copied-and-pasted from who-knows-where:

"The Bahooka on Rosemead Blvd. in Rosemead, CA.
(Featured in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)
A great Polynesian restaurant/bar with about a hundred salt-water fish tanks and
tons of
beach comber material on the walls and ceilings. The huge fish in the tank
behind
the bar likes to inhale carrot sticks as a snack. I've been there a few times...
watch
out for the rum drinks, they're a killer!"

PS. Waiting anxiously for news on the HoJo Tiki Resort -
I had hoped to go in March sometime - when does the season
begin? Isn't tiki season EVERY season?

If you're looking for funny/different Brasilian then Dusty Groove (did) have
(last week).  The Ed Lincoln CD 'Ed Lincoln'.  Top Samba Organ action.  A
bit of Kazoo,  a bit of tasty straight up dancefloor jazz. Out beyond Walter
Wanderley in the organ frills area.  But still groovy.

I admit this is my favourite LP and I'm on a one man mission.  But it is
truly a great LP.

>Does anyone have anything to say on 'Tilt',  his early 90's LP

It's one of the least describable albums I've ever met. A very singular piece of work. It's not pop song oriented -- rather cinematic instead. Not very danceable either, despite the trip-hop tags occasionally put on it. Odd stuff. Scott gets his voice into some very strange areas. I still don't know whether I "like" it, but it's certainly interesting. I'd say give it a shot... it'll at least be a different listening experience. You can always trade it in.

Or check here:
http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=302692628/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/ArtistID=WALKER*SCOTT/itemid=418706

CDnow has some murky 30 second realaudio samples. But it's not work that lends itself to 30 second snips. Nowhere near a fair representation.

Taped the 'Other Side' documentary on the Las Vegas Grind, Channel 4,

enough El Vez,  Not enough Otto (a bit out of place I thought),  and all in

I am very much a fan of Scott Walker, but I don't like this cd at all.
Scott's voice does not sound at all like it used to sound on his 60s and 70s
recordings.  It sounds forced and is unpleasant for me to listen to.  Also,
the music, to me, is monotonous and boring, with very little variety.  Some
call this cd a masterpiece, but it doesn't move me in the least.

I'd get Scott 2, or Scott 3 instead.

My 2 cents,

right that's it. i have to go. someone on the list mentioned r. daneel
o'donnell... that's a step too far for me. a man so bland and cardigan like
even your mother finds him obnoxiously, cloyingly sentimental and fake. he
goes for the granny market for whom pat boone would be too adventurous.
fair play to him, he does invite all his fans round for a cup of tea every
autumn. the father ted pisstake of him was quite righteous.
there are funny stories about him (nobody could be that bland and therefore
as with ronan keating and brian kennedy rumours take on life) but he has no
place in a list discussing music.

i gave my Tilt copy away, i could not get into it.
 no where near the first 4, and the Walker Bros. stuff...
i have a copy of STRETCH on tape which is ok,
no real desire to have it on vinyl or CD.
i do have Til The Band Comes In and think it is pretty good, still managing
to pull off that special something the earlier ones have.
for me, i guess its the musical arrangements that do it for me.
the newer ones just don't have that cheesy dramatic Andy Williams on LSD
(which i was told, he (andy) did do btw) magic for me.
especially avoid Climate of the Hunter from the 80's. yikes.

Hi all!
Check out "His Kind of Woman" on AMC tonight (if you're in the US, that is).
It's one of my all-time favorites.

"It's been the ruin of many a poor boy..." etc. It still doesn't make sense to

Subject: Re: (exotica) Devo Muzak

Mark Mothersbaugh scored the soundtrack for Rushmore. Mixed in with Chad &
Jeremy's "A Summer Song" for you soft pop-tarts and the wonderful "Concrete
and Clay" by Unit 4 + 2 are some really delightful short tracks he composed
for the film--talking titles like "Hardest Geometry Problem in the World."
This is tinkly music, somewhat baroque in feel, heavy with harpsichord,
mandolins and celeste yet very light on its feet. Makes me think of Bach
sprinkled with fairy dust. The OST also offers a taste of another
Mothersbaugh tune, "Snowflake Music" from Bottlerocket. Interesting tidbit:
Wes Anderson, the director, says in the CD booklet he originally intended
to score the film with only British Invasion tunes--initially exclusively
Kinks songs. Yet somehow Yves Montand's "Rue St. Vincent" crept in. FYI,
Mimi

PS: Michael Toth, if you're still on the list, could you comment about what
it was like to be around Akron when Devo was a local band? Thanks.

Subject: (exotica) A point of interest

I love the folks at the record store Dusty Grooves America, they have great
stuff, they're courteous (which is rare for record dealers), they have
detailed descriptions of all the titles they sell, and their prices on CDs
are great.

Now a tiny little observational caveat.

I was just glancing at their Now Sound vinyl and I saw a used VG+ graded copy
of Ferrante & Teicher's "Getting Together" for $14.99.

Has this record gone into great shortage since last week when I nearly saw
copies at every thrift store I went into?  Granted the record has it's groovy
points, but who is this person that's paying $15.00 for the VG+ copy of it.
I want to met this person, because I've got a shit load of records to sell
them.

Maybe the $14.99 price they have posted is a typo, if that's the case forget
you ever read this.

HI, Mimi:

I just got back from out of town, and someone else may
have answered . .. but the film you mention is Fritz Lang`s
The Blue Gardenia, mid-1950s, and newly released on video.
The bar is great.

Cheers,

i was listening to Weirdsville.com i believe and heard a song either titled
or played by "Ruckzack".  can anyone help me?

in the late 80's or so. has a funky flute and a monotonous 2-note organ
part.  dee-dee-de-dee-de-de-de etc...

thanks

Pack 'em up and bring 'em to New York, Roy. That record, along with most of
the other 70's F&T titles, are getting up to $40 a piece at the various
rare groove stores.

then you'll have enuff $$ to keep travelin to Chicago and sell some more!

It's from Kraftwerk's first (or possibly second) lp (they were reissued
together as a double album).
