Gang,
I just got the Bedazzled/Lady In Cement cd.  EXCELLENT.  It say on the back
"made in Germany" but despite the quality sound and nice artwork I'm pretty
sure it is not an "official" release.  Nevertheless I am grateful to whoever
put this thing together as they did an excellent job and I have always wanted
this LP (in part because I love the film so much) but I would NEVER pay
$100.00 for an LP.  I ain't got that kinda dough.

If you've wanted this thing but are not rich I'd recommend that you go ahead
and get this release.

Bedazzled is very, very good ----  not the holy grail of soundtracks, but
still well worth having, and it certainly sated my curiosity.

Lady In Cement I had heard before and it KICKS ASHE.  Lots of funky guitar
go-go stuff.  The Lady In Cement on this cd sounds superb.  Probably taken
from a well preserved or never played reel to reel from the sound of it.
Outstanding for an unofficial release.

I think our former member JackDiamond.com has some, and I'm sure you'll see
em on eBay and other places as well.

Best,
Larre

That's Johnnie Taylor, the "Memphis Wailer", cut with silk and tailored to
fit the fashion of the prevailing soul sound in each era in which he sang.
His name is well hung in the Soul Hall of Fame....... RIP..JB

 >followed by a steady run of other hits. When Stax went bankrupt in 1975,

The great documentary WATTSTAX is being re-released in the theatres this
summer.
starts here in Baltimore tomorrow...i checked it out a couple months ago at
a film festival...really fun stuff.
Johnnie Taylor's part where he is playing in some theatre is AWESOME.
doing the song "Jodie". definitely my favorite song of the film.
Rufus Thomas cannot be missed either.
Richard Pryor humor is at its funniest at this point (1972) with bits
throughout the film where he is shot at what seems at a bar, not on a
stage, so it seems he is hanging out with you.

the only drag is the really lame song Issac Hayes does after his super
energetic Shaft theme intro and the interviews with Ted Lange (Love Boat
Bartender),
he is so uncool and trying really hard to be "black" i think.

but please do yourself a favor and check it out if you haven't already.

I think he needs to cut back on listening to so much overly-stimulating
music ("Coffy") and augment his dose of Prozac with some Tony Mottola
rekkids.  From the liner notes to TM's "Close to You":

"Tony Mottola's guitar is probably the best tranquilizer you can buy
today.  It sooths.  It warms.  It mellows.  And it makes you glow all
over."

Subject: (exotica) Who is Bobby Trafalgar anyway?

Here's something I just heard that may be of  interest to both Exotiaca and
Lavalamp  members.  Actually all this recent talk of Blaxploitation films on
Exotica would be right at home on the Lavalamp list.  Feel free to cross
post where appplicable!

Anyway, back to the subject at hand.... You must listen to a new release by
Bobby Trafalgar - In Person, Into Battle on Repap (that's "Paper"
recordings) from the UK.  It's a comp of some dozen or more French film
soundtracks from the 60's and totally now sounding.  I assume it's not a
fake but if it is, its a better hoax than
Soul Ecstasy! The website has pix of the covers and 5 downloadable MP3
shorts. As always any further info. on this release or label is always
welcomed:

One further installment I just had to share from this book I bought at an
estate sale last weekend called "Playboy's Moving Up in Style: The
Successful Man's Guide to Impeccable Taste", dated 1980. These two excerpts
are clothing related though the book covers all aspects of stylishness.
Remeber its dated 1980 so...

page 43
"Bracelets and necklaces are particularly bad.  For some strange reason they
are ganing popularity, but resist the fad.  We hope there's no need to add
earrings to the excluded class.  Excess jewelry can only make someone look
like a hippie, a madam or Sammy Davis Jr."

page 54
"Some rules should never be broken: Never wear a jumpsuit for example.
Also:
No leisure suits.
No polyester.
No lavender.
No monograms on shirts.
No mirrored sunglasses.
No Hawaiian shirts.
No army surplus.
No white leather shoes.
No Gucci shoes.
No Gucci anything."

One final note... nothing about having, dressing or anything else relating
to kids seems to be included in this book. Very 80's... (and why I see it as
a perfect SABP guide for its time!!!)

Subject: (exotica) [obits] Milo Speriglio,Arthur Davis,Joe Massimino,Sam Spileos

From LA Times (excerpt)
By ELAINE WOO, Times Staff Writer
     Milo Speriglio, a veteran Los Angeles private investigator who ran one
of the oldest
detective agencies in the country and wrote three books claiming Marilyn
Monroe was
murdered, died April 30 at his Encino home. He was 62.
     Once described as so unassuming he could pass as a bank clerk,
Speriglio ran Nick
Harris Detectives in Van Nuys for three decades.
     He was romanced into the business by watching "Peter Gunn," the
legendary TV series
about a suave private eye.
     Speriglio was born in Greenwich, Conn., and moved to California with
his family when
he was 3. He once told a reporter that his first case involved a hunt for a
missing
panther when he was 16. He armed himself with a baseball bat and set off in
pursuit. He
never found it but got his picture in the newspaper, which led his fellow
students at
Belmont High School near downtown Los Angeles to call him Panther Boy.
     Later, he became a rock 'n' roll disc jockey--Mad Milo, he called
himself. That
career was low-paying and short-lived.
     Then he saw "Peter Gunn"--the 1958-61 series featuring the late Craig
Stevens as one
of the first coolly aggressive, lady-killer private eyes on television--and
decided he
wanted to be just like him.
     Some say Speriglio was more like Phillip Marlowe, the shrewd gumshoe of
Raymond
Chandler mysteries. "He was the Marlowe of our industry. He saw himself that
way," Laikind
said.
     Speriglio didn't mind tipping back a Black Russian before heading home.
But he bore
little else in common with the private eyes spawned in TV shows of the '70s.
"Milo is half
the size of Cannon, not nearly as handsome as Mannix and a lot shorter than
Barnaby
Jones," The Times' William Overend wrote in 1976. "He's a quiet, soft-spoken
guy, on the
small side, with glasses. He could pass for a bank clerk. But he's handled
more cases than
all the television sleuths combined, about 35,000 over the years."
- -----------------
Arthur Davis died on May 9 at the age of 94. He was an animated cartoonist
whose career began in the 1920's at the Fleischer Studios in New York.
There, he became the industry's first "inbetweener" (meaning he drew poses
that fit inbetween the key animator's extreme poses). He also worked at the
Screen Gems (Scrappy), Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera (Flintstones), Walter
Lantz (mostly Chilly Willy) and DePatie-Freleng (Pink Panther and others)
studios. He is perhaps best known for his work at Warner Bros. where he was
briefly a director alongside Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng and Bob McKimson in
the late 1940's. Unfortunately due to budget constraints most of his films
were shot in a two-color process and most were with minor characters or were
"one-shots" so his work didn't really get the due that his colleagues
received. By the time Davis was finally making color pictures and working
with the studio's big stars like Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny, his unit was
eliminated. Art stayed with the studio and became an animator for Freleng.
In the 1960's Art went freelance, doing animation, storyboards and
eventually direction. His last work was on Saturday morning cartoons for
Hanna-Barbera.

TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) --

Joe Massimino, longtime band leader for ``The Mike Douglas Show,'' died May
24 of
complications from stomach cancer. He was 64.

Massimino won an Emmy during his 15 years leading the band for talk show
host Douglas.

At 17, he was hired to play in Tommy Dorsey's band after an audition where
he impressed
the big band leader by ripping through Dorsey's ``T.D. Boogie,'' a tune he
had committed
to memory.

He toured with Dorsey for three years, and went on to musical associations
with ``Tonight
Show'' bandleader Doc Severinsen, singer Joe Williams and the big bands of
Buddy Rich and
Louis Bellson.

Massimino was known as a be-bop-based improviser who usually worked at an
acoustic piano.

From The Boston Globe
By Tom Long, Globe Staff, 5/31/2000

Sam Spileos Sr. of Newton, the former proprietor of Sam's Beef and Ale House
in the
theater district, where a generation of performers sweated out their opening
night
reviews, died of cancer Monday in St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in
Brighton. He was 76.

Mr. Spileos owned and operated Sam's on Tremont Street for about 25 years,
until his
retirement in 1990. It was at the rail of the eatery, decorated with saddles and
harnesses, that Richard Kiley quaffed a Bass ale after belting out ''The
Impossible
Dream'' night after night in ''Man of La Mancha.'' Rex Harrison often popped
in for a
quick one after performing in ''The Kingfisher,'' and members of the Boston
Ballet would
drop in for refreshment when in rehearsal for ''The Nutcracker.''

Members of touring shows would often blow kisses or shake their fists at the
TV over the
bar when the first reviews were broadcast on the nightly news. They nursed
their drinks
while waiting for the first edition of the paper to arrive.

Judy Garland was a particular favorite. ''I'll never forget her sitting
there and bubbling
with energy,'' Mr. Spileos said in a story published in the Globe on Nov.
15, 1978. ''She
was so pleasant to us and my son, who is a tremendous fan.''

A month after her 1969 visit, Garland died. Mr. Spileos kept the glass she
drank from that
night. The rim held the impression of her lipstick. The glass held the stubs
of the
cigarettes she smoked.

Mr. Spileos was born in Boston. He graduated from Boston University in 1954.

Not to take away from the wonderful Roundabout establishment in the

I should put in a plug for tweekitten.com and their cutthroat pricing

It's fake, sure enough, but a darned good one.  As my band did, to a lesser
degree than this page does, the bio weaves in truth with the
falsehoods.  For example:

  - There is a lost film by Ed Wood called "Take it Out in Trade"
  - There was an adult film actress named Brigitte Lahaie

However, there are certain things on it that are not true, such as the
films he scored; all of the titles are fakes and Lahaie never made a film
called "Hotel L'Amour" and as for Francis Hulot, I just think that is a sly
Jacques Tati reference.

The recordings do indeed sound as if they were made in the '60s, so ovarB
to Repap!

flashback -- i remember getting bombed in college at fraternity parties and
gatoring on these absolutely filthy frat house floors!  at the time everybody
thought it was funny.  and if you could get your date to do it, it was a
great excuse to ax her back to your pad to change into something clean (and
then maybe get dirty all over!)

but really, way before Austin Powers brought the shag term into prominence,
we folks on the Carolina coast were doing a dance called the Shag (so named
because the moves were "lascivious").  this started in the 1950's where
mostly black bands would play for white kids' parties or bar "concerts" at,
for instance, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  the lyrics were suggestive and
parents warned against listening and dancing to this music.  the classic tune
of this music is "Sixty Minute Man" -- 1951 by the Dominos.  the lyrics were
considered X-rated in 1951.  there is a movie called "Shag" that sort of
shows the "story" of this music and dance.  (and pheobe cates is in it -- so
that is enough reason for us male types to watch it!)

anyway, my alterpersona is going to Myrtle Beach this weekend for a
conference and there is a great Shag band playing at the resort where the
conference is.  i need to dig out my old penny loafers.

sorry, old tiki bob was just having a flashback to his Preppy Robert days.
wonder what i did with my patch-work "go to hell" pants.

have a good weekend exoticats and kittens!

Subject: (exotica) French stuff

Hello,

I'm new to the list and wanted to ask if anyone knows some recent french pop
that sounds somewhat similar to the great, late, Serge Gainsbourg. Or to the
also great France Gall.

Recently I picked up a couple of records of Katerine (last name of a
singer-songwriter) and I have been enjoying them quite a lot. Especially for
the lyrics which are way, way crazy. He has a song dedicated to a chicken he
ate in april 1988 ('hot at lunch, cold at night") and that he realizes he
has come to love.

Has anyone heard this stuff? Any similar things in France?

Cheers,
Manuel

Subject: (exotica) Nose dive in the Baisodrome: Glenn Miller

Don't know how well circulated this is: Tex B. Obit.
used the plane crash version:

    FRANKFURT, Germany -- A mass-circulation German
newspaper reported Saturday that band leader Glenn
Miller died
                       in a Paris brothel and not in a
World War II plane crash as officially reported.
                           Miller, one of the most
popular Big Band leaders of the 1940s, was at the peak
of his career when he joined the Army,
                       putting together a band that
staged 71 concerts for more than 250,000 troops. He
was 40 years old when a plane flying him
                       from England to France on Dec.
15, 1944, disappeared in what has become one of the
lingering mysteries of the war.
                           But the newspaper Bild
claimed that the real circumstances of Miller's death
were discovered by German journalist Udo
                       Ulfkotte in U.S. Secret Service
files, while he was doing research for a book on
Germany's intelligence service.
                           He claimed the famed
trombonist who wrote In the Mood, Moonlight Serenade

Doesn't Katerine have a song on the Get Easy French LP?

It is one of my favourites on the LP.

In fact, IT TOTALLY ROCKS MY WORLD!


Its been a long week and I'm in need of a rant (and a pint).

Online Maori Exhibition [Beatnik Player]
http://maori.culture.co.nz/

Created and maintained by Maori Culture on the NET, this attractive
site offers a very interesting introduction to the groups of
indigenous peoples of New Zealand collectively known as the Maori.
Sections include an overview of their history (pre- and post-European
contact); images and information on Ta Moko, Maori styled tattooing;
a history of Maori units in the two world wars; profiles of past and
present Maori leaders; and a cookbook of modern Maori recipes.


Silent Era: the silent films website
http://www.silentera.com/

Created and edited by Carl Bennett as a labor of love, this site
promises to become a terrific resource for silent film fans. Still
very much under construction, it draws from Bennett's own offline
database of 17,000 silent era films. At present, the majority of the
available content, over 50 reviews of silent films, can be found in
the Silent Era Films on VHS Videotape and DVD sections, both of which
also contain select listings of films available in both formats and
recently updated listings of forthcoming titles. Other features at
the site include a latest updates column which offers silent film
news and announcements as well as site additions, a top 100 list of
silent films, a (small but growing) collection of biographies of
notable figures in silent film history, and related links and
resources. Bennett plans to add a list of lost films and book reviews
to the site. While still rather modest at present, there is still
plenty here to interest silent film lovers, who will undoubtedly want
to track the site's progress.

Anyone in the area ever been here? A co-worker tells
me he's been a regular for 7 years at the Honolulu
Tiki Bar in Alexandria, VA. From the way he describes
it the place is an old and authentic tiki bar: bamboo,
netting, waterfalls, tikis, dark, red lights... the
owner an ex-Trader Vic's employee. If not, I'll try to
hit it in the next month and give low-down to any who
want it.

I second Charlie's recommendation for "Get Easy vol. 3 - The French Pops
Collection".  It used to be on Motor - not sure what label it's on now,
but I know Dusty Groove usually has this one in stock.  It's mainly
music from the 60s and 70s.  There's also Francoise Hardy (but only her
older stuff) and the four volumes (if you can still find them) of "Ultra
Chicks" (again, it's mainly things from the 60s and 70s).

Probably the best label for contemporary pop would be Tricatel, from
France.  They have a number of releases out, and are probably in line
with what you're looking for.  Chuck can probably fill you in more than
I can on this music.  (and where's Jill when you need her?)

Hope that's enough to get you started.  And if you like France Gall, you
should check out her recordings from the 60s that were sung in German -
they're even better than her French songs! (at least, in my humble
little opinion).

Will do. I had no idea anything like that survived
past the 70s in this area. I wish it were closer to
home, as I'm going to do a bit of drinking tonight.

Oh, the guy said they sell their mugs, too. A bit of
heaven in the armpit of Alexandria.

I recently picked up a compilation of "Das Beste in [sic] Deutsch" of
France Gall, which while not nearly as indispensable as that 4 CD
box, is a is a bit more of the same.  Mercifully containing one
German remake of one of her French songs ("Bebe Requin" - it's not as
good as the original), it does have a few hits like "Der Komputer Nr.
3", a few pre-disco Morroder-penned tracks, and a crazy cover of
"Music to Watch Girls By".  Everyone in France I've ever talked to
despise Gall, presumably for sticking around to try to rap in the
90's...

Yes to the second question.  I still haven't completely warmed up to
Katerine's last album (Les Creatures/L'homme a trois mains), but
whatever is on that comp is from either "L'education anglaise" or
"Mes mauvaises frequentations", and sure to be representative.  His
first album, "Les mariages chinois" was a very different affair,
primitive, tinker-toy and managing to sound even like Nurse With
Wound during the final 17 minute track.  The album he did for Les
Soeurs Winchester, is great, a bit stranger and funkier, and a nice
contribution to the obnoxious girlpop genre (alongside the likes of
Bad Dream Fancy Dress and Girlfrendo).

Anna Karina has just released an album in France, written & produced
by Katerine.  Not heard here yet, but I was a bit put off when
someone told me her voice sounds like Marriane Faithful's...too many
cigarettes.

To the first question:  Initials BB.  Bertrand Burgalat, that is.
And his Tricatel label.  I think there's only a soundtrack released
under his own name, but he's done albums for Valerie Lemercier, April
March, as well as tracks for likes of Kahimi Karie.  A pair of label
comps were released in Japan with BB in a several dozen guises, and
there's a single comp out in France which mostly picks tracks from
the two Japanese ones.

Aside to Manuel:  did you change your mind?  Still nothing here.

Subject: (exotica) ye ye!

i am fixing to hop in the car and drive the 230 miles to lawrence, ks; to see
sleater-kinney tonight, so i have to make this snappy~
i be a francoise hardy man, myself, and have yet to hear what france gall
sounds like, and my exposure to gainsbourg is limited to the j'taime album he
did with waif jane birkin.  but here are some more 'modern' possibilities:
  dudes:
elliot smith
will oldham
damon jurardo (sp?)
honestly, these are guesses, as i am not a big fan of most male singers.
now for what i know about, but still may or may not match mme gall's style:
stereolab, especially 'dots and loops'  (track number 7 is especially to die
for)
edith frost
eleni mandell
cat power
julie doiron
rose melberg
ivy (a french group)
st. etienne (english group)
air
and for some reason, i want to throw in japanese artists as possibilities, as
well, including:
takako minekawa
pizzicato five
cibo matto (cause they are really silly!)

i hate doing a mere list, and fell lousy being rushed, but, hey~
  p.s.  it is real neat to see a fellow popjourno list member here, and a
real knowledgeable one, at that~ welcome to xander!

now playing:  francoise hardy 'oh oh cheri' from her very first ep: vogue
7.967, 1962
