This Monday, 3 July 2000, at Noon Pacific Daylight Savings Time [1900 UTC], The Archivists at The Rhino Handmade Institute Of Petromusicology cheerfully celebrate The Fourth Of July Holiday Weekend with the release of JACK WEBB 'Just The Tracks, Ma'am: The Warner Bros. Recordings'. Best known as the creator of 'Dragnet', first on the radio in 1949 and then adapted for television in 1952, JACK WEBB was at a creative peak at the close of the 1950s when he recorded these two albums for the then-just-launching Warner Bros. Records. While he was being Sgt Joe Friday on the Philco, he was playing Norm to Marlon Brando's Ken in the film 'The Men', he was also being Artie Green in a small part in 'Sunset Boulevard', he was starring in and directing 'Pete Kelly's Blues' and he was compelling Marine recruits to determine the sex of sandfleas in 'The D.I'. It was during his association with Warner Bros. Pictures making 'Pete Kelly's Blues' and 'The D.I.' that, for reasons which no one will admit still having the paperwork to reveal, Mr Webb was offered the opportunity to make not one, but two, albums for the brand new Warner Bros. Records division. The first of these albums, the complete title of which is 'You're My Girl: Romantic Reflections by Jack Webb', was released in 1958 in the first batch of albums ever issued by Warner Bros. Records. Imagine, if you would, Sgt Friday -instead of Jack Handey- reading "Deep Thoughts" and then add a sumptuous musical bed of Billy May orchestrations and you pretty much understand the, as a review at the time said, "soft, deep, intimate reading by Webb which some of his female fans may go for". As 'You're My Girl' has been out of print for almost four decades, most Netizens only know of this album from the single track, "Try A Little Tenderness", which was included on a 'Golden Throats' collection released by our Corporate Benefactors, Rhino Records. So, if you liked 'Try A Little Tenderness' please return your seatback to an upright and locked position for eleven more excursions into 'Romantic Reflections' as only Jack Randolph Webb could possibly do. Mr Webb's second album on Warner Bros. was "Jack Webb Presents Pete Kelly Lets His Hair Down". The word 'Presents' in the title should give it away. While Mr Webb is pictured on the cover and wrote the liner notes and is the catalyst for this recording, he appears nowhere in its grooves. 'Pete Kelly Lets His Hair Down' is a collection of jazz instrumental improvisations from the same group of session players that had worked with Mr Webb on the original 'Pete Kelly's Blues' film and soundtrack album. Matty Matlock. George Van Eps. Jud de Naut. Nick Fatool. Ray Sherman. Eddie Miller. Moe Schneider. Dick Cathcart. It is divided into six songs played in a "blue" tempo and seven songs played in a "red" tempo. Hence the track titles. It is, as the kids say, Way Cool, Daddy-O. Both of these Warner Bros. JACK WEBB albums have been out of print since before most of you were born and each has been remastered from the original 'Vitaphonic High Fidelity, The First Name In Sound' stereo masters. Who really wrote The Book Of Love? Why, Mr JACK WEBB, of course. And, with the re-release of these Warner Bros. recordings, he will conclusively prove it -beyond any reasonable doubt- to you. Case Closed. JACK WEBB 'Just The Tracks, Ma'am: The Warner Bros. Recordings' is available in an individually-numbered limited edition of 3,000 (three thousand) copies. It is not distributed to any store on the planet. It is distributed directly from us to you. It is available only from The Archivists at the Rhino Handmade Website at: http://www.rhinohandmade.com The complete track listing JACK WEBB 'Just The Tracks, Ma'am: The Warner Bros. Recordings' is at the bottom of this e-mail. And sound samples for every track will be available on the Rhino Handmade Website this coming Monday at Noon Pacific. Up next from The Archivists is Something Absolutely Wonderful from A True American Original. Which one, you may ask? Well, I'll tell you all about it in two weeks. Have A Safe And Sane Fourth.

Inside, a cloud of dry ice billows from the rum-and-fruit-juice drinks known as Smoking Eruptions. A gong sounds, a maiden appears, a macaw shifts on its perch, then lightning flashes. So much excitement, and the Samoan Flaming Chicken hasn't even been served yet. Welcome to the Kahiki. Port of call: Columbus, Ohio. The grandest and best preserved of a nearly extinct form of culinary recreation -- the Polynesian-style supper club of the 1950's and 60's -- this tropical restaurant is a vintage postcard from the South Seas, across from a Kmart. It is a painstaking hybrid of Disneyland's "Enchanted Tiki Room," "Gilligan's Island" and the Chinese restaurants that thrived when "exotic" meant water chestnuts and sweet-and-sour sauce. Opened in 1962 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, Kahiki has been a real survivor -- until now. Occupying a choice retail site, it will close on Aug. 26, to make way for a Walgreens. While preservationists labor to save Kahiki, the luau goes on elsewhere. After a decade of bubbling under pop culture's crust like a subterranean lava pool, tiki is back. It's all happening now: surfing, the revival of Hawaiian shirts, lounge music and tropical merchandise that Trader Vic's would have adored. There are tiki coasters, tiki-patterned boxer shorts, a magazine called Tiki News, even a "Tiki Type" font kit from House Industries that allows 21st century party-givers to print 50's-style luau invitations on their iMacs. Several new books include the most comprehensive look at the trend, "In Search of Tiki: A Guide for the Urban Archeologist," by Sven A. Kirsten (Taschen). In the 1980's, when he began collecting mugs shaped like primitive gods, "tiki was considered ugly," Mr. Kirsten said. "You could get a tiki mug for a buck, not like now on eBay," he said. (One from a 1961 screening of Elvis Presley's "Blue Hawaii" sold for nearly $1,000 on the Internet late last year.) Josh Agle, an artist who paints tiki style, began collecting tikis about 12 years ago when he first began frequenting tiki bars. "It started with taking home souvenir mugs," he said. "It was so cool, because it was like stepping back in time when you went to these bars." He has recreated the ambience of those bars at home in Orange, Calif. "It's kind of high maintenance, because tikis are dust collectors," he said. "But people like the U.P.S. guy are pretty impressed, even though he doesn't know what it is." Anticipating a spate of Polynesian-style parties among 30- to 40-year-olds this spring, Macy's East division opened a "Patio Luau" department with plastic plates patterned with hibiscus flowers. The shops themselves were festooned with Easter Island tiki heads and palm trees. "This year, we really felt that everything in the fashion market was gearing toward the return of pattern," said Joe Denofrio, a senior vice president for fashion at Macy's East. "We felt that if people are interested in florals for apparel, they'd be feeling the same about their summer entertaining. You can picture yourself out on your patio in floral board shorts, with a lantern and some great floral serving trays. A tiki is really a natural component there." Sur La Table, the Seattle-based kitchenware retailer better known for Moroccan tea glasses than mai tai mugs, put ceramic tiki tumblers on the cover of its summer catalog. Likewise, at the trend-savvy Old Navy, tiki masks are embroidered on camp shirts. "For us, it's part of that whole vintage fun retro feel," said Joe Enos, a spokesman for Old Navy. "Everything has a wink to it." Mr. Enos got his first taste of tiki in the 60's at a restaurant called the Coral Reef in Sacramento, Calif. Although Quiksilver, Tommy Bahama and other surf-inspired fashion lines have long mined tiki iconography, many mainstream designers have caught the wave this season, from Bloomingdale's and J. Crew to Ralph Lauren, who is serving up T-shirts printed with the image of a wooden tiki idol on whose base had been carved the word "Polo." Stranger still is the cross-pollination of hip-hop and tiki from a line called Mecca. The company's hot-colored T-shirts are silk-screened with Easter Island tiki heads. Partygoers, Mr. Denofrio said of Macy's, are doing it their own way. "It's multicultural, and it goes every way from the South Seas to Southeast Asia," he said. "It's all things exotic." The glut of new tiki merchandise, said Otto von Stroheim, the founder of Tiki News, "has created the ability for more people to have fun in the tiki scene." Tiki was not originally an underground movement, he pointed out. "Before, it wasn't that hip anyway," he said. "It was always very mainstream." Michael Stern, whose numerous books on pop culture, written with his wife, Jane, include the seminal Encyclopedia of Bad Taste, is, of course, a fan of tiki. "What's so wonderful about tiki is that it allows us to wallow in a vernacular that's so ersatz," he said. "It's sort of a twice-removed fascination. There was a time when Trader Vic's was considered by sophisticated people to be true exotica. The fascination is that it still exists in that totally bogus form." His own favorite Polynesian restaurant was the Hukilau, near Hartford, which is now defunct. "We Americans crave play, but there's so much seriousness in food and entertainment. But you can't do that with Polynesian stuff." Mr. Kirsten understands completely. The German-born, Los Angeles-based cinematographer is an authority on the "Polynesian Pop" movement in art and design. His lavishly illustrated book, the fruit of two decades of collecting, is due from Taschen later this year. It celebrates tiki's golden years. Polynesia's moment in mainland America spanned from just after World War II, when soldiers first brought home aloha shirts and Hawaiian tourism took off, through the early 60's era of Annette Funicello's "Pineapple Princess" and the series "Hawaiian Eye." By the time "Hawaii Five-O" rounded up the last villain in 1980, tiki was dead, a trend that had become stiffer than Jack Lord's hair. Although Mr. Kirsten concedes that tiki aficionados are rare compared with, say, Fiestaware collectors, he says restaurants like Kahiki need to take their place in pop culture history. "The typical thing at such restaurants was to invite people from the audience to go onstage and dance the hula and make fools of themselves. There's always a need for that." Unfortunately only a handful of tiki-toriums remain: the Mai-Kai, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., luau restaurant where hula shows are still performed; the Tonga Room, a watering hole with indoor thunderstorms in San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel, and the Hala Kahiki bar in River Grove, Ill., where everything that isn't tiki is leopard print. At Lee's Hawaiian Islander in Lyndhurst, N.J., on a recent Saturday night, not much had changed from the nostalgic scene Mr. Kirsten describes. At the restaurant, Michael Doneff, the owner of Nice House, a Greenwich Village design store, was the host of a friend's 40th birthday party. "They have booths that look like thatched-roof huts," he said. "They have a whole wall of fake lava rock with plastic bouquets stuck in it. We had pu pu platters and flaming drinks. It was just kind of goofy." While bamboo is considered chic among the tastemakers who frequent his shop, Mr. Doneff says, its tiki-tacky counterparts are hip again, too. "Younger kids are finding it cool," he said. "You see things like paper lanterns at Urban Outfitters and Restoration Hardware and you just get in the mood to hang lights and sip something out of a plastic pineapple." But it is the places that celebrated tiki on a grand scale that tiki lovers most revere. "There's no place like the Kahiki," Mr. Kirsten said. "It has a certain irreverence that still applies today. It's so unconcerned with political correctness and the fact that it's stepping on toes in terms of taste and ancestral customs." Janu Cassidy, co-founder of the New York-based Hawaii Cultural Foundation and owner of Radio Hula, a Hawaiian shop in SoHo, said: "Being from Hawaii, I should probably be offended, but I have an appreciation for it. What I really appreciate is the nostalgic feeling and the romance behind it all." It's even having an effect in her home state. "For the first time in a long time, I'm seeing locals not feeling shy about wearing Hawaiian prints," she said, speaking from Honolulu. The trend is expected only to get bigger when the big budget romantic epic "Pearl Harbor," starring Ben Affleck, opens next year. Now, though, Mr. Kirsten predicts that tiki "will have a glorious comeback and then fade away again." He says he hopes the remaining Polynesian restaurants don't go the way of Trader Vic's and Hawaii Kai, both late of Manhattan. "I'm not a revivalist," he said. "I don't think tiki should be resurrected the way it was. It can't, because there's not the same sense of na=EFvet=E9 that there was in the 50's about Polynesian culture. But what's here should be preserved and enjoyed for what it was." When Kahiki closes its doors in August, it is expected that its contents will be saved and the building razed. Where an aloha-shirted bartender is dispensing Pi=F1a Passion potions today, a white-coated Walgreens pharmacist may be filling Viagra prescriptions next year. Tiki News is planning a farewell party to bid Kahiki aloha. "It's going to be a historic tiki event," Mr. von Stroheim said. "Unfortunately, closing restaurants are the only historic tiki events I've been to in my lifetime." - --=20 *********************************************************** * Kevin Crossman kevin@kevdo.com * * http://www.kevdo.com - The Narrow Interest Portal * * Lip Balm Anonymous, Ultimate Mai Tai, Exotica Archive * *********************************************************** # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 01:03:12 -0400 From: Lang Thompson <wlt4@mindspring.com> Subject: Re: (exotica) Shorty Rogers >think of.

The entire collection of these cartoons (original drawings and/or newspaper clippings) is held by the Mandeville Special Collections Library at the University of California, San Diego. While the 1999 book _Dr. Seuss Went to War_ reproduced 200 of these cartoons, the remaining half have not been published or studied since their original appearance. This amazing collection has now been placed online and is browseable by year, month, and day. Subject term browsing will be available in the future. The cartoons are presented as large thumbnails which link to a full-sized image presented in an unfortunately cramped frame. The cartoons comment on a wide variety of topics, including war preparedness, domestic politics, and isolationism, with particular criticism for the US Congress and Americans not prepared to sacrifice for the war effort. Caricatures of the Axis nations, especially the Japanese, reflect contemporaneous stereotypes. Drawn in characteristic Seuss style, with many creatures familiar to fans of his best-known work, these cartoons are both an excellent look into wartime US domestic politics and public opinion and clever, visually interesting cartoons in their own right. As an added bonus, the site also features some even rarer cartoons that Geisel drew for other publications and for war bond drives. This is simply an excellent resource for students, researchers, and any fan of Horton, the Grinch, the Lorax, and Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 15:36:11 EDT From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: Re: (exotica) NYT Tiki Article Text In a message dated 6/30/0 9:30:07 AM, Rcbrooksod@aol.com wrote: >thanks kevin, you would have thought that one of us nerds (other than kevin! >hahaha) would have thought to copy and post. hey! some of us like The NY Post # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 02:55:38 -0400 From: "Br.

Sorry Jane, it came out in 1994 and probably is not still in print. Worth checking for it on Amazon though, I suppose. I found mine used at Amoeba. Here's the info, if it helps: It came out on Shanachie - the folk/world label. Look for their website? The number for this particular video is: ISBN: 1-56633-1238-5. It's Jazz Scene, U.S.A. which was Steve Allen's syndicated show. Both of these were shot in that golden year of absolute hip, 1962. It was hosted by the oh-so-cool Oscar Brown, Jr. (I highly recommend his reissued record Sin and Soul. Oscar is also known for having written the lyrics for "Dat Dere" and "Afro Blue"). Russ Freeman looked particularly dapper and suave on the Shelly Manne set. Oh Jane, I saw a bad movie that you'd like. Eve by Joseph Losey, shot in 1960. Awful, pretentious thing with a terribly hammy Sean Connery-knock off as the male lead (I think his name is Stanley Baker). Anyway, it's beautifully shot in Rome and Venice at that time and has Jeanne Moreau at her euro-coolest. Eyeliner out to there, repeated playing of Billie Holiday records, crushing of men beneath her heel. Growwwlll. Extra credit for having the absolutely gorgeous Verna Lisi in a supporting role. - --David In a message dated 6/30/00 7:14:03 PM Pacific Daylight Time, laura_taylor@wgbh.org writes: << Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 13:07:27 EDT From: Dlsmay@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Stan Kenton >>The roots of "West Coast" jazz seem to be from Stan Kenton's tree.

It's from an old 45' by the looks of it. Arf Arf is a great label and I think "Only in America" would appeal to anyone on this list. The track by "Oshun" has to be heard to be believed. It's wayyyy out there. There should be an audio sample of the track in question at the bottom of this web page: http://www.arfarfrecords.com/arfarf/records/aa49.html jbrouwer ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2000 16:34:24 -0400 From: "Peter Risser" <risser@cinci.rr.com> Subject: (exotica) Love Is Blue Does anyone know the story behind this song? I thought Paul Mauriat did the "original", but it's written by either Blackburn/Popp or Cour/Popp, and his version is instrumental. Yet, I've heard lyrical versions (notably, the one by Hugo Montenegro). Any clue as to who might have had the big vocal hit with this, if anyone? Anyone know a brief history?

Well, I'll let that be a surprise to my fellow list members. It won't be too long now. :)) <<Also I think whistling is exotic to some degree and has been the highlight of some of the coolest music.>> You bet it is. Fred Lowery's "Walking Along Kicking the Leaves" is full of tropical tunes with Hawaiian style guitar. Muzzy Marcellino did a "Whistling on the Beach at Waikiki" whistler. Art Coates "Whistling Like The Birds" is incredible!! Ya gotta hear "yellow bird" and "bubbles in the wine". and what's more "exotic" than bird songs mixed with organ, cello and violin?? Symphony Of the Birds, The Canaries, American Radio Warblers... If ODD is your bag, try Ralph Platts depressing religious whistling with Lorin Whitney on pipe organ. Or Virginia Belmont's Singing and Talking Birds, or Sister Jean whistling THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!! Don't get me started, folks, I'm just clearing my throat.... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #750 *****************************
