No.

Don't you remember the night Tiki Bob got blind drunk, tore off all his
clothes, painted himself green and rode a unicycle through the exotica
clubhouse whilst whistling "Winchester Cathedral" and juggling an entire
litter of kittens? Subsequently smashed head-on into the marble tiki in the
atrium, bloodied his nose and crept off to vomit copiously in the aquarium
(thus poisoning my favorite piranha).

No one said a damned word about it.

Yes, I remember it well.  But I was too busy thinking about Tiki Bob's

that is sad you feel that way, ronnie. i have only been a lurker/member for a
month or two, but your posts are relevant, informative, and polite.  i have a
hard time just keeping up with the sheer number of posts here, i would like
to point out, that even on lists with far less traffic, sometimes interaction
and response can be sparse.  i think you should keep faith that no matter
what, if you are honestly offering knowledge, and not disparaging anyone
unjustly, your contribution is ultimately appreciated.  i read all of your
posts and found everything you shared interesting.  i am going to have to
search the archives for your post(s) on western swing, as that is a genre of
long term interest to me, living here in tulsa, oklahoma.
 i have picked up a number of denny lp's in vg+ or better condition that i
would like to find good homes for, for the right price, thought i would offer
here before i list them on ebay.
  i am pleased with the diversity of interests shown here, my own tastes are
wide ranging; from amelita galli-curci, to the cocteau twins, the carter
family to edith frost, almeda riddle to cat power, satie, debussy, and
hindemuth, to cage, glass, solex, and takako minekawa, the coon creek girls
to wire, wanda jackson to wanda de sah, yma sumac to francoise hardy
bollywood to einsturzende neubauten, sheila chandra to hedningarna.  and i
refuse to leave out anita o'day, chris connor, or my friend eleni mandell.
 i realize that many of these artists, mostly female, don't quite fall under
the category, exotica, however, they do all extend outside of the tight,
narrow circumference of the mainstream.
  as an analogy, based solely on musical tastes, i find "tabitha angst", dj
for internet radio, gogaga, one of the most desirable women alive today.

Okay. In case the "cheer 'im up with a funny story" approach wasn't
appreciated, here's a serious take.

I have no idea of the hard statistics, but I know I've had plenty of
question posts that went unanswered and info posts that went uncommented
upon. I'm sure we all have. Sometimes people just plain don't know the
answer, or don't have anything to add. Sometimes it's the weather. We're
all setting our little paper boats adrift on the stream. Sometimes they
sail right along and sometimes they sink like stones. You just never know.
You just try again next time.

Subject: Re: (exotica) am i the most widely ignored chap on this list/ Library music

cheers man

I tell you what it is  I live in the west of Scotland, I have a vast record
collection, mostly good stuff (stuff which you lot would probably be not
ashamed to find in your collection), however the west of Scotland has
virtually no-one interested in music (with the exception of Rod Stewart, or
Runrig) and I worry that that in this wilderness when I express an interest
in music  which "no-one has ever heard of" I am in some way mad for liking
wordless music or liking music in foreign language.

I wonder sometimes if the comments on this list are in someway indicative of
the decline in the interest of music, I admittedly have limited experience
of classic exotica (denny, baxter etc..) living where I do these were not
common purchases for individuals during the 1960's we tended more toward
Donovan, and the incredible string band.

However I do feel that the list occasionally does stray into the realms of
snobbery when it comes to the  "classic" exotica, unfortunately there is no
soundtrack mailing list, or really weird shit mailing list, so I will
continue to subscribe to this mailing list as it is usually interesting, and
informative, and unbiased........ however Rhythms Contemporaines is one of
the best LP's which I have ever puchased and I would thoroughly recommend it
to all soundtrack lovers

Kind Regards

Ronnie

PS has there ever been a thread about library music, surely this should be
of interest to us all

Yep, we've had threads about library music in the past. Don't you wish the
archives had a handy search feature so you could quickly/easily check out
past threads like this one? Lazlo??

We've discussed the TV dinner series, use of needledrop in animation,
people's scores of various production LPs. I think there is a general
interest in the topic. Why'd you bring it up? Have you discovered something
interesting?

- -Lou
PS members of the exoticaring music-sharing thingy will get to hear a bunch
of production music by Roger Roger and Michael Reynolds. I really like the
stuff by Reynolds that I have, and would like to know more about the guy.
Can anyone shed lite on the man and his career?

I did something today that I rarely if ever do - - I went to a mall.
Frightning places full of 'normals' that I avoid like the plaque. But I was
shocked and astounded by the amount of tiki/polynesian wear out there. I
now understand Jimmy B's comments about the exotica b-boys in the hood. It
was amazing. I went into all the chain clothing stores - Abercrombie, Gap,
Foot Locker, blah blah blah - and every fucking one of them has some tiki
line going on. Really weird - no wonder I got so many comments about the
Hawaiian shirt I wore at my DJ gig last night. Not that I have anything
against fashion, mind you, but I'm not sure where this all came from. But I
think it's a good thing - - I think.

Subject: (exotica) re: library music

About 7 years ago I was in a thrift shop with a friend of mine.  There was a
stack of about 15 LPs there.  They were all ten inch 33 1/3 albums and all
had the same cover FRANCIS, DAY & HUNTER but with a different title at the
top.  Most had no composer or arrangers names on them anywhere.  This was a
collection of library music (for radio station commerical beds etc...)

Well, my friend saw them first so he got them all.  We went back to his house
and put one on.  It was some of the most awesome, incredible, outrageous
stuff I'd ever heard.  Raymond Scott kind of stuff.  I have no idea what
anyone could have used this stuff for.  Maybe as music in B movies?

Someone had written on the front and back covers.  The coolest record of them
all had "STRICTLY PRAGMATIC" hand written on the cover.  I ran to the store
and bought a cassette (this was in the pre-pre-pre cdr days) and recorded the
best of these records onto a tape and titled it (you guessed it) "THE BEST OF
FRANCIS, DAY & HUNTER:  STRICTLY PRAGMATIC."

If anyone cares I can dig out this tape and see what artist names I was able
to find on some of the records.  Some of them were better than others but in
the series there was not one single record that was a complete dud.  If you
ever see some of these my advice is BUY!

I'll await further instructions,
Larre

Subject: (exotica) [obits] Donna Andresen Freberg,Bill "The Fox" Foster

Wednesday, May 17, 2000
Donna Andresen Freberg; Comedian's Wife, Producer
     Donna Andresen Freberg, producer of her husband Stan Freberg's
work in advertising, television, radio and recording, has died. She
was 69.
     Freberg, according to the comedian whom she married in 1959, died
Friday in her Beverly Hills home of lung cancer.
     Before her association with her future husband, Donna Andresen
worked as assistant to producer Jack Donohue on the popular TV comedy
shows "Martin & Lewis," "George Gobel" and "Red Skelton." She also
aided Donohue with the "Colgate Comedy Hour" and two TV specials for
Frank Sinatra and worked as executive assistant to Peter Lawford on
his "Thin Man" series for MGM studios.
     Originally described as Freberg's secretary when she joined him
in 1958, Donna Andresen quickly became the satirist's producer and a
year later
his wife. She edited and produced his material throughout their
marriage of more than four decades, including recordings, radio and
television commercials, written materials and his syndicated radio
show.
     In addition to her husband, she is survived by their two
children, Donna Jean Freberg Ebsen and Donavan Freberg, and a
granddaughter, Rylee Jean Ebsen. Memorial services are scheduled for 3
p.m. Saturday at Westwood Village Memorial Park.
     The family has asked that any memorial donations be sent to the
Children's Bureau of Southern California, Orange County Division, 50
S. Anaheim Blvd. Suite 241, Anaheim, CA 92805.

COMEDY CENTRAL'S "MAN SHOW" PERFORMER BILL "THE FOX FOSTER=20
A HERO AMONG BEER DRINKERS DIES AT AGE 68=20
NEW YORK, May 12, 2000 -- Few entertainers have spanned as many generations
as Bill "The Fox" Foster. For more than four decades, Foster was a local
legend in barrooms across Los Angeles. He was the self-proclaimed "World's
Fastest Beer Drinker" =AD able to guzzle a pint of brew quicker than most of
us could spill it on the floor =AD and a master performer of what he called
"songs your mother wouldn't sing."=20
Sadly, Foster passed away Wednesday, May 10 at his home in Santa Monica
after a long battle with prostate cancer, at the age of 68.=20
Foster was best known as proprietor of The Fox Inn, a popular west-side
tavern, from 1961 to 1989. He performed there nightly, leading his patrons
in song and often challenging unsuspecting beer drinkers to chugging races.
But the highlight of each night was to see Foster chug a pint of beer while
standing on his head.=20

Sigh.

I've never felt that way.  I dig Denny alright and can leave all the Lyman

Subject: Re: (exotica) more snooping from RealAudio (off topic)

Remember the hubbub with BJ about net security? She was righter than I'd
care to admit.

I now have firewall software on all of my PC's, and every time I fire up a
'puter, I get a warning that RealAudio on my system is trying to "phone
home."  Hmmmmm...... I also get a report every time someone on the outside
is sniffing my ports, an lemme tell ya it happens several times a day. Not
that I have anything interesting to see - It's just eerie to know you are
being snooped.

It so happens that a standard install of Microsoft Windows 95/8/2k/NT will
leave you wide-open to the world, especially if you do any kind of
drive/printer sharing - but there are simple (and free) things you can do to
keep the sharing active, but not create the digital equivalent of your pants
around your ankles on main street.

If anyone wants a snootful of info on keeping their PC's invisible to the
outside world, email me off-list.

Sorry I've been such a stranger lately.

Love on y'all....

You honestly want to know?

Oh, yeah, Clapton's Journeyman.

It hasn't gotten THAT bad for me here in Boston basically because I promote
my sound as soulful and groove oriented before we even talk cash. BUT, I can
sympathize with risser because after a coupla cocktales, EVERYBODY's a DJ!.
But Risser, when you got the 'tables, you be da boss. Collect your pay
upfront as much as possible and remember this: Even though many say they
hate-cha during the gig, at the end of the night you'll be loved just because
you did the job.(DJAxiom #101) And NEVER NEVER involve Mrs. Risser in your
decisions as a DJ (DJ Axiom #102)...JB/20 years 'o' mobility and tryin' to
call it a day

epulse 6.20 [passion]
CONTENT / May 19, 2000

Welcome back to epulse, the musically omnivorous weekly ezine
of Pulse! magazine.
___________________________
THE EPULSE3
A peek at the notebooks of your favorite editors.
3. HISTORY LESSON OF THE WEEK:

It's a book! It's a couple CDs! It blows my mind! The lavish set titled
'MANHATTAN RESEARCH, INC.' (Basta, out now) ties together an incredible
array of Raymond Scott's electronic music from the '50s and '60s.
Something truly remarkable has been achieved here, as it writes an
important new chapter into the public understanding and appreciation of
Scott's life and career. Granted, it's widely known that he had a
fantastical electronic music workshop built into his home. The 1997
reissues of his three-volume 'Soothing Sounds for Baby' started giving
actual sound to what had been just biographical data for most people.
Scott composed and produced music for commercials, films and his own
amusement. However, due to the level of near-paranoid secrecy he employed,
few have known the whole picture, only glimpses. The research that went
into this project (in large part by Irwin Chusid and Gert-Jan Blom) is
lovingly mirrored in the absolutely astounding 144-page full-color
hardbound book that houses the two discs (designed by Piet Schreuders, who
makes all releases on the Dutch Basta label worthy on purely visual terms
alone). There are rare photos and documents, numerous interviews and
essays, and not one element is sup    erfluous. The overall effect of
the entire package in sound and sight offers a vivid portrait of a
creatively driven man. It reveals Scott's failings as well as his
strengths, and in so doing he truly comes alive as an emotional creature.
He was fascinated by the orderliness of sounds and machines, and he was
also prone to all the doubts, frustrations, and wear and tear that are an
inescapable part of a human being's life-span. (David Greenberger)
