yes it does, they stayed because they were more successful fighting the war
from inside the camp than if they would have escaped.

Nope.

They could have escaped anytime they wanted (even LeBeau and Newkirk) - they
were not 'standard' POWs however. Their task was to:

1. assist the underground in getting shot down flyers back to England,
2. lead regional sabotage efforts,
3. confound General Burkhalter and Major Hochstetter,
4. tell some jokes, party a bit, and try to scam on Hilga and Helga.

Keep in mind that this show was crafted in Hollywood circa 1965. This
premise is most certainly possible and believable. Now Petticoat Junction on
the other hand ...

Good gravy, but things have taken a peculiar turn this weekend.

Trying desperately to yank things back to relevance, here's a HH web page
which mentions spinoff albums as well a Christmas music/variety show, which
included Bing Crosby as a guest!
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/2545/info.htm

Mo? Perhaps you heard of the show under its German title: "Ein KΣfig voller
Helden".

But aren't we really more interested in the way-out life (and death) of
star, Bob Crane?

It's a bit prog-sounding -- not really the same kind of vaguely kitschy
stuff on "Moon Safari." It's clear that a few tracks are taken straight from
Pink Floyd (I didn't see the CD booklet, so I don't know if they're real
samples). One track, if I remember correctly, starts out with the piano
opening from "The Great Gig in the Sky," for example. "Suicide Underground"
has a drum beat faintly reminiscent of... "Any Colour You Like?" Side 2 of
"Wish You Were Here?" Or maybe the ending credits of a Dario Argento movie?

Later,
Ben

Subject: (exotica) the world's greatest mystery

I can't believe that there's been so much "discussion" generated by my
silly reference to Hogan's Heroes in my even sillier post about conspiracies.
Lately my attempts at online humour have been frequently misinterpreted so
maybe it's time I give it a rest.
(Which is not to say that I don't believe in conspiracies.  I just don't
think any conspiracy worth its salt would ever enlist Moritz.  Unless the
conspiracy involved Les Baxter records.)
But anyway, all this Hogan's Heroes stuff reminds me of this time I was in
a bar and they were talking pretty loud at the table next to me, and you
couldn't help but overhear.
They were talking about the great mysteries of the world.  True mysteries,
as I remember.  Stonehenge-type mysteries.
And one of them said "You know what the greatest mystery of all time is?"
The whole room got quiet, waiting for a moment of enlightenment.
"The murder of Bob Crane", he said.

Hiya William,

>i must admit i do miss going to  >thrifts and buying vinyl but for now its
>really not an option.
>          william in taipei

How's record hunting in Taiwan? Care to report on the music scene?
Inquiring minds, etc. And thanks! Mimi


hi mimi and all,

  well as for record hunting vinyl itself is nearly non-existent. i know of
a few used shops that sell some and tower and fnac has a little. but very
little would be worth reporting for this list. you can find a little lounge
stuff here. i mean on cd. you know ultralounge mainly oh and the hifi
series. the big bookstore chain here - eslite- just opened up a music shop.
the buyer for the shop used to run my favourite shop "avantgarden" but he
closed it in january to concentrate on his new job i think. anyways, this
shop in general is more expensive (expensive here means 14-20 dollars. on
average cds here cost 12 u.s. dollars or less most of my taiwanese friends
would not even consider buying stuff that costs 15 bucks). however they have
certain discs marked down to about 6 bucks u.s. i picked up the its a
mad..world ost, chitty chitty ost, 3 hifi comps, all for 6 bucks each. but
finding stuff like martin denny or even esquivel is quite hard. or it will
be expensive. i think tower is the only place that really carries stuff like
that and they are rather expensive by taiwan standards. of course if j-pop
is your thing taiwan has most places beat. most shops have a selection of
j-pop comps which i beleive are bootlegs and sell for about 3 bucks each.
outside japan the biggest market for japanese music is taiwan. i've managed
to get many p-5 and fpm releases for around 10 bucks or less. of course the
early p5 stuff is more expensive. hk and tokyo both have a better selection
of vinyl and you will probably find more goodies there. of course it will
probably be more expensive as well. these places (hk and tokyo) also have
more shops to choose from than here in taipei.

  hope that gives you a general idea mimi. if you want more details just
drop me a line. oh and one question for the list in general. when i was at
the eslite music store i saw this series called something like "instrumental
sixties" french instrumentals from the 60s of course. comments on this? are
they worth spending money on?

         william in taipei.


ps. i recently caught the middle of this movie that i think was called
something like "the day i got up on the day i died" or something. but the
music sounded really sort of lounge and the movie itself had no dialogue. or
very little.i believe christina ricci has a small role as a prostitute.
anyone recognize this from my weak description? is there a soundtrack?
comments?

BJ, love your postings, but please get off the "All Wanderly All The Time"
tip.  The big man, Joel "Fucking" Whitburn clocks Summer Samba in at #26 for
9 weeks in August of Sexty-Sex. Claudio, Shlaudio...we're talking the

I mean, probably not,

But does anyone have an extra copy of a 13 fingers of
Sir Julian sleeve lying around?  Mine is... moldy.

Just wondering.

Never shall the silly rest!
Nat here's a hint... the true humor lies in the misinterpretation.

Okay, at the risk of sounding like I'm completely out of it - who the
**** is Bob Crane? (or is this a Hogan's Heroes joke, which would have
gone right over my head because I never watched it...)

Too bad, because you are getting one anyway.  FYI, most people quote
"Billboard" for a source where chart statistics are concerned, not your
Mr. Whitburn.  I quoted what Claudio said because I am involved in an
upcoming project with him and I have his professional music resume right
in front of me that states what I said above about Summer Samba reaching
the position of number 3.  You can believe who you like, and I'll do the
same--ok?!  Seems fair enough.

And I will keep right on posting my WW Updates & Additions notices here
as well as any other non-WW items of interest to the list; we all have
our favorites in Exotica who get talked about, and WW is definitely
mine--and that isn't going to change.  I see countless posts from others
who talk about Denny, Baxter, Esquivel, et al. and I am respectful of
those posts.  I don't think that asking for the same respect for my
subject is too much to ask.  If you don't want to read my posts, ignore
them; but please don't tell me to quit talking about my subject of
interest.

That's great, William. Always curious about the music markets 'round the
world. Your report sort of verified what I'd suspected about Teipei: lots
of J-pop, premium costs for Western pop, limited used vinyl supplies. One
thing surprised me though. As notorious as China is for boot software and
books, I expected a music market flooded with boot CDs. But as you say,
you're  more likely to find boots of p-5 or I'd guess Ricki Martin than
Dean Martin. Thanks! Mimi

Subject: (exotica) Shriners

I for one would supremely dig being a shriner.  I'd
pay dues if I got to wear a fez in a parade and drive
around in circles in a little car.

Who on this list could say that wasn't cool?  Does
anyone know anyone who could get me in?

Especially now that they have little Corvette
Stingrays and little Monster Trucks.

VROOM VROOM!  Boy I'd like to peel out in one of
those.

AND I live in Mason, Ohio.  IS THAT FREAKY OR WHAT???

Plus, my dad was a member of the Kiwanis!  Or, well,
maybe they just sponsered his bowling league.  I
forget.  I used to use his old bowling shirts as art
smocks in kindergarten.  His nickname is "Bud".  Huh?
HOW'S THAT FOR FREAKY??  A coincidence?  NO WAY.

I married a catholic and we are bringing our children
up catholic.  If I could be a Mason, we could ONCE AND
FOR ALL unite the forces of evil and enslave the
world.

I mean, who really wants to rule the world anymore?  I
don't particularly want to rule the world, but it
woudln't be a bad thing.  In fact, I think everyone on
this list should take turns ruling the world.  I'm
sorta busy this week, so if someone else wants to take
the first shift, that's cool.  I'll take next week,
with the non-leap day leap day.  That'll be cool.
Then someone can take over from me after I'm done.

In the meantime, some people really jumped all over
that chick.  For goodness sake, I was even considering
it may have all been tongue in cheek, and yet people
reacted as if she had come in and maintained that
Hitler was good, the earth is flat and sushi actually
tastes good.

We all have different opinions.  If she wants to
believe that there's a huge conspiracy out there, more
power to her.  I for one can't believe that any select
group of humans could keep something like that
together for so long.

But that's just me.

These are the same thing.  Joel Whitburn's books are compilations of Billboard chart listings and are officially sanctioned by Billboard.  I don't know of any similar books for Cashbox, the only remotely reliable competing charts.

A few things:

1. I just picked up "Age of Electronicus" at an Ann Arbor antique shop for a
buck.
I thought I remembered someone here mentioning it was going for 70 bucks on
Ebay, but when I rushed home and checked, the highest it had gone for was 35.
But thats kind of a moot train of thought anyway, as my boyfriend has forbade
me to sell it (and he doesnt even collect records). Am I remembering wrong?
Is my fez on backwards?

2. Exactly how many "Persuasive Percussion" albums are there? or "Provocative
Percussion" or "Premature Percussion" or "Precambrian Percussion"....

3. Has the person on this list (sorry I forget who) who wrote away for info on
the
Hojo Tiki Resort gotten their full colour brocure yet?

4. The Rock N Bowl in Detroit is having a tiki bowling night on tuesday the
29th.
I cant make it, but SOMEONE should! Theyre giving away free tiki mugs! Ross?

5. Anyone heard of "Exotica 1970"?

6. Hogans Heroes. Keep rockin' it!

Aloha,
Jane

Subject: Re: (exotica) Shriners

Well, the deepest secret in my family is that, c. 1963,
when we lived in Jarvis, Ontario (population 780) my
father was a keen member of the Lions Club and a star attraction
in the annual minstrel show through which they raised money.
Three years out of four, they'd do it in blackface, and every
fourth year (out of radical multiculturalist sentiment), they'd
go Irish and paint their faces green.  My father did an imitation
of Louis Armstrong, singing, playing his trumpet and mopping his
brow, all of this while adorned with "negro."  And he was a liberal.

A few years ago, they stopped these things, but I still wake up
screaming at the memory.
