Hi - I recognize this is not about exotica, but since we have so many
vinyl hounds on this list, I hope you don't mind me asking the
following:

I have a Harmon-Kardon Festival 4, which is an all in one (Garrard
turntable, radio, cassette) unit, which I bought used. It seems to
play 12" records without a problem, but when I play 7" or 10"
records, the needle and tonearm hangup at the very end of the
record. In other words the arm is being pulled back toward the
beginning of the record, causing a skip.

I have the manual and have done the setup routine, even playing around
with the settings (I have scanned the relevant page in the manual, if
there is someone who would like to see it, but didn't want to attach
it to this posting as it might cause some download problems for some
people).

First, I set the tracking weight at 0 grams, move the counterweight to
approximately where the tonearm is parallel to the playing surface.
Then I tighten the set screw for the counterweight and turn the
counterweight until it gets as close to parallel as possible.  I set
the tracking weight at 3 grams, as specified, and the anti-skate
countrol to between 2 and 4 (in other words 3, as it is supposed to
match the tracking weight).  It seems if I move the counterweight
forward, this slightly lessens, but doesn't completely eliminate the
problem. I can't see anything mechanical that is causing the problem,
but I haven't taken apart the unit to see if there is an
obstruction/mechanical problem inside.

I don't want to play any records I care about on this unit until I can
hopefully resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance to any and all who may have answers to this problem!

Michael

An incredulous Moritz asked,
>Are you saying you visited up to 400 concerts in those 2 and a half years??=
?

Close to it. It was probably closer to 3 and a half years when I pretty
much lived to hear live music. Towards the end, I tapered off to one or two
shows a week. At the height of the period, at least once a month, I'd go to
an evening show, probably in an auditorium or concert hall, then to a
second late-night show in a club. I was lucky to live in Detroit, a great
music town that was a one-hour drive from Ann Arbor, another great music
town. Both places landed on a lot of tour itineraries. The City of Detroit
also hosted tons of free outdoor concerts when it wasn't under a foot of
snow...like the Montreaux-Detroit Jazz Festival, the Blues Festival, Ethnic
=46estivals that booked all kinds of acts from overseas, etc. Not only that,
I worked for an opera company during a chunk of that music-madness period,
so my workaday world was spent in showland. You know how opera divas are
reputed to be temperamental?  Well, in my experience, those reputations are
deserved.

It was expensive and exhausting and I'm so glad I did it. Now I'm a jaded
old fart who mostly stays home and listens to records. :)

When I think of Claus, I think of "Watusi Trumpets", his classic
contribution to the groovy Now Sound genre.  He also made a few other
similar records including "Saxes Mexicanos".  For a fuller list, ask br.Cleve.
I also think of the groovy Mel Torme record "I'm coming home".
(As a matter of fact, those of you in the exoticaring are in for a triple
dose of Claus if and when my tape ever finds its way to you.)
And then, as someone just mentioned, there's his contribution to the Kai
Winding records.
I don't know where the idea came from that he's some string-heavy arranger.
In fact, this is the first I've heard of him being associated with such stuff.
But I'm not surprised.  I already knew you shouldn't look at a couple of
credits and think you got the guy pegged.

So you're saying that with a live show, it's more likely the context is
provided for you while with recorded music, it more likely you provide the
context? I'd go along with that. Of course things get lots murkier when you
first hear a recording after hearing music live. I don't think the converse
is true. However, I won't spew out another 10K message explaining why. Mimi

definitely worth having for that price.

I think the best track is "karma sitar" one of the bonus tracks from another
101 strings album called "Sounds Today". "Whiplash" is pretty cool/bent as
well. EZ listening strayed into some pretty pervy areas back then.

most of the Astro Sounds album was originally made as an album by the
Animated Egg. A 101 strings were added to that album and presto! the gods
gave us "Astro Sounds". At least I think that's how it happened. I may
indeed be wrong but I don't care.

I think too that, upon examination, Albert Fish was found to have a 101 pins
in and around his genitalia. Pins apparently are better than wine when it
comes to dining on neighbourhood children.

i hope you are not really named Albert Fish. that would be an embarassment
indeed.

Subject: (exotica) re: records/bachelorhood vs. married life/kids

maybe bachelorhood substitutes an oft busy stereo for an oft empty bed.
maybe it makes doting over the record collection the supplement for doting
over kids. maybe the collector is proud of his vinyl and its rarity, just as
the parent is proud of his kids and their rare talents. so maybe collecting
is something you ought to grow out of for the sake of the little 'uns.

or not... maybe kids are the bastard-supplement of collecting not the other
way 'round. which is, or ought to be, the substitute for which? and do we
need substitutes at all?: maybe a lot of people are happy to be both
collector and parent - even more.

i don't think you should give up one for the other. we should all be as
hybrid as our enjoyment permits us. in other words: be both collector and
family guy. and after all, virtually anyone can be a parent, but by far the
majority of people are uninterested in pursuing rare collections. so if you
think you should cultivate what positively differentiates you from most
people not what makes you standard-issue, then by all means keep collecting
alongside the family-life thing. I don't see why this should be an either/or
situation.

But, you might say, isn't there something wretchedly selfish about all this
collecting? isn't there something thoroughly narcissistic about collecting,
or at least about the energy one devotes to it at the expense of things like
having a family? for it seems as if one invests a great deal of energy into
making one's identity through the amassing of objects (albeit the most
sophisticated of objects: art). a collection is you and these things, but
you and these things is you alone. a family, though, is entirely different:
you and they is a social unit. whereas your collection gives your own image
back to you, your kids do something entirely different. they're not
reducible to you. they're other people which do and do not reflect who you
are.

but, i might say in reply, so what if its narcissistic? is this narcissism
always bad? as long as it doesn't close other avenues down absolutely why
not let it ring on alongside the other routes? having kids is great but
there's something worthwhile in collecting too. there's creativity to it and
creativity is above-average. a collection is a strange union of consumption
and production: it's not simple utilitarian buying, and its not
straighforward creation (like say, paintings and piano compositions are) -
its somewhere in between. you produce the distinct form of the overall
collection, and you do it as a reflection of your taste; but at the same
time it is just made up of scraps you've found and bought at various
locations (the thrift store, the record store, etc.). we even live at a time
where the production of music is itself very often bred with the collection
of it (sampling, DJ culture etc.) parallells might even be made with the
visual arts and film. the point is that the line between collecting and
creating isn't rock solid. (that's why, perhaps, one might argue that
there's something equally narcissistic in the production of art, though we
hardly ever bring artists to task for that).

okay, okay. i'll close. i just wanted to suggest a) that you need not, at
least in this case, exclude one lifestyle at the expense of another, and b)
that you can conceive of collecting in such a way that stresses what is
creative and unique in it, not just what is dweeby and stunted in it.
virtually all people on this earth will procreate, but only a very few will
ever bother unearthing the forgotten sights and sound this world has hidden
in itself. kudos to those who bother...

J. Brouwer

ps. i've got nuthin' against having little 'uns though they haven't sprung
from my loins yet. no kids. no wife either. pretty lonely all around though
one hopes the future will differ from the past.

Nice; couldn't have said it better myself.  And we'll see in six months
if Nat still feels the same way...yes, relationships do tend to distract
one (especially in the initial phase), but in my experience, that
definitely does wear off after a while.

I've always had hobbies my entire life, whether or not I was in a
meaningful relationship at the time.  They are very important, serve
useful purposes, and in the end, you always have opportunities to share
your knowledge of a particular subject with others.  That should be what
it's all about; not just selfish mass-collecting.  I disagree with the
spirit of the "he who dies with the most toys, [in this case, recordings]
wins".  That has always had a bad connotation to me.  The true spirit of
collecting and spending money and time on any hobby or interest should be
for the sharing of knowledge first and personal enjoyment second.  The
more you share, the more you will get back in return.

I don't  know about P5 sales in the U.S., but I do know that the biggest
selling discs of the EZ scene were the first Combustible Edison, "I
Swinger", and the first Esquivel, "Space Age Bachelor Pad Music", both of
which sold around 75,000 units in Soundscan in the U.S. (SABP may be up
around 100K by now). Soundscan only includes stores which report to them,
which therefore does not include a lot of independent record stores. The
Esquivel disc was only licensed for the U.S.; the ComEd album was also
released in Europe and Asia.

The 1-2 punch of these 2 albums, which were released within a few months of
each other in 1994, kicked off the media/record label frenzy known as the
'lounge movement', which lasted until around '98. Subsequent 'lounge'
record sales were not as impressive; some were downright terrible.
Capitol's UltraLounge series, taken as a whole, did OK.

Ah yes, and an eye-opening experience it must be at that!  You think this is
a big change... just wait if or until kids appear! (No I'm not trying to
rush or pressure you). Just that it then becomes a question of simply not
having the time, let alone the energy and.or inclination to shop, or change
a record for that matter! And you know what, you will somehow manage it
fine.

Anyway, I think I speak for all on the list in wishing you all the best and
the hope your new relationship works out. Let it happen, don't think about
it or try to rationalize too much, and just enjoy yourself  (for a change!)

he heard a group of mentally deficient musicians play "Pomp and Circumstance"
(thank you , WFMU). He didn't care about the rest of the tape, but when that

Yes - he arranged nearly all of the Lesley Gore/Quincy Jones stuff. One
thing that always strikes me is how *perfect* these songs sound - not a
string or tinkly piano out of place. Even on some obscure LP cut like "I'm
Coolin' No Foolin'".

Having never heard O.'s own albums, does his own material sound like
Lesley's, but without vocals? You know, incredibly bright and perky?

I brought this up not long ago, inspired by a tip-off from the master of
thrift store bizarre vinyl, Will, of Show and Tell Music.  The mystery was
solved.

Two of those bonus tracks, Instant Nirvana and Whiplash come from "The Exotic
Sounds Of Love" (not to be confused with The Sounds Of Love).  I had never
seen this "adults only" 101 Strings rarity until Mickey McGowan pulled it
from his warehouse shelf to show it to me.  Inside the gatefold cover is a
rather dominent looking chick with an eye patch.  :P

If anybody on this list has this LP and is up for a CD-R exchange, it is very
high on my want list.  Also looking for Fred Karlin's OST to "Up The Down
Staircase" (Sandy Dennis).  Been punching that one into ebay's search box for
months with no success...

Subject: (exotica) Duke of where?

I remember someone on the list mentioned that a Duke of Burlington tune and
the name Duke of Bulington itself were ripped off from The Earl of
Westminster. Have I got that right? Can somebody confirm? And does anybody
know the name of the tune that the E of W (if that's the right name) made
famous?

Thanks


Charlie

Definitely worth buying,  I got the recent re-issue/boot of this,  which is
a little distorted,  but its great,  Groovy psychedelic music with the
strings layered on top.  It works.  It TOTALLY ROCKS.  This is one LP that
my girlfriend really likes.  I paid the full UK Pounds for a bootleg and
even with the slight distortion I'd say it was worth it so nine US Dollars,
go for it.  If its still there.

There will be a fairly recent discussion in the archives  from when I bought
it. (December?/January?).  And others going further back in time.

1) IS this worth buying
2) Is it worth buying for $8.50, (pretty good shape, stereo).

Thanks heaps

The only reference I had of Ogerman's before I joined the list was the
pastoral and darned near new-age-y "Gate of Dreams" LP that my wife
has.  It has string-heavy arrangements.  I would like to hear this "Watusi
Trumpets" album, because the Dreams album, it puts me to sleep.

Earl of Alzheim ;-), no, just kidding! Marquis of Kensington was the name and
the song title is "Flash".

The LaConcha is still open however be aware that this is really just a motel

out the Peppermill Bar which is real close to this hotel, it is a throwback
to the '70s


 Does anyone know the best Lounges where I can hear cheesy music and that
 hasn't been remodeled in at least 25 years?  Please let me know.  Alas,
 perhaps I'm too late. >>

The only hotels with lounges that have remained somewhat intact since the
'60s are Caesar's Palace (late '60s), the Sahara (late '50s) and the Stardust
(mid-'60s). But you don't go to lounges for the architecture (which is rather
non-descript) Pick up one of the free guides you'll find distributed in
hotels or in taxi cabs and they will list the performers. Some of the old
stand-bys may be in some of the newer hotels.


By the way, it is not a lounge, but well worth the trip. In the MGM go to the
Brown Derby Restaurant bar where most evenings after 8pm you will see Bobby
Barrett doing an incredible Sinatra vocal performance for just a drink
minimum.

Me do!  But me keeping...

Sorry that wasn't very fair was it ;-)

I have to say I don't find either LP particularly amazing.  Flower Power
Sitar only has one other track on it to rival Up, Up and Away (and it
doesn't really come close) and the Hellers LP is mostly quite
cringe-making.

Subject: (exotica) Find These Records!

Here is a challenge to all thrift store scavengers.. I'm looking for some
help finding two records..

I don't neccesarily need the records that bad, but would like to know if
anyone finds them and that might help me find them..

A. Several people on the list mentioned they also remember playing
Incantation and Dance in school band and everyone agreed they would like to
hear it again.. if anyone can find a recording with the song on it, I'm sure
everyone would be interested in that.  Best bet might be high school band
records as mentioned previously on the list, but who knows, perhaps it's
been given 'professional' treatment as well.


B. My roomate told me his parents had a Barbara Streisand
record in which she sang Bowie's "Life on Mars" (Hunky Dory).  Does anybody
know which album this is on, internet searches and CDDB were no help.  Might
be a live album, I'm not sure.  Normally, a request for such a cover might
raise eyebrows, but I'm sure here on this list you can easily understand why
I would want such a thing.

C.  I've always forgotten to send this request out.. if anyone finds a
record from "Little Marky" please let me know!!  Yes, it's a religious
record. No, it's not "Little Marcy".  Yes, it's the most twisted thing ever.
You would never give it to me once you listened to it, but be on the lookout
anyways.

Thanks for any help!

Btw, this may or may not deserve a full post but last week I picked up a
Walt Wanderly album.. I think Moonbeams.. that was Autographed by him!  I
haven't had much of a chance to listen to it but it was a nice find.  Walt
scribbled something in Spanish on the inside of the gatefold and signed his
name.
