BIGGS, Calif. (AP) -- Hal Blair, who co-wrote songs performed by Elvis Presley, Della Reese and others, died Friday. He was 85.
Blair co-wrote ``Please Help Me, I'm Falling'' for Hank Locklin, ``Ringo'' for Lorne Greene, ``I Was the One'' for Presley and ``Not One Minute More'' for Reese.
He began his songwriting and acting careers in Western films, working with stars such as Gene Autry. Blair met his songwriting collaborator, Don Robertson, in the early 1950s. Their partnership lasted nearly five decades.

ANIARA, An Epic of Space Flight in 2083 A.D., 2 LP set by Columbia
records, 1959
This set is up on ebay and I have bid on it, now someone else has the
high bid, this Aniara was written by a swede so I thought it would be
funny to have it, me having established a small sci fi LP collection as
well. I dont know anything about it though. Anyone familiar with this
record?

Subject: (exotica) Danger Diabolik bootleg
The reason that Danger Diabolik CD has poor sound, and is a bootleg, and is promoted as some sort of hokey "collectors" deal is because the masters of the soundtrack were destroyed in a garage fire. Unless Morricone re-scores the film for an official release, anything else is going to be something recorded from a print of the film with dialogue edited out in some way. You can find old copies of the theme on 45 floating around with a nice sleeve, but otherwise, you're most likely spending your money on something with questionable quality -- which is sometimes the best you can hope for with some things though, like jazz music documentaries.

Subject: (exotica) fwd: Lounge Singer Performs for Jury
February 8, 2001
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- A 33-year-old lounge singer entered a courtroom and did what he does best -- perform for an audience. Only this time his audience was a jury.
Thad Schwenk, who sings under the name David Storm, defended himself Wednesday against charges of driving under the influence. He wore a bright yellow jacket, concluded his opening statement with a bow, and employed a dramatic cross-examination style reminiscent of Perry Mason.
Schwenk said that his ``mush mouth'' when he was pulled over was caused by tired singing muscles, not alcohol.
The evidence that Schwenk ran a stop sign and had a blood-alcohol level of .11 seemed irrelevant to the spectators who filled the courtroom.
``I'm not crazy about the canary sports jacket, but I have a lunch riding on this guy,'' said James Burke, one of nine public defenders watching in amusement. ``I'm pulling for him.''
The only person not amused was prosecutor Abraham Kassis, who feared he wouldn't be able to show his face if he lost.
``Confiscate all notebooks,'' Kassis said in jest to court officers ushering reporters into the courtroom. ``Isn't there something more important going on in this courthouse?''

I can't off-hand name my Top 10 favourite exotica

that nettlesome question of "what is exotica" and Tiki
knows we've been down that path. Too many rekkids
make me, ahem, beat my chest anyway..
Regarding Tiki restaurants in MA., yes, Mo, there is a
Kowloon, and it, besides some of the hideous eighties
encroachment, still is amazing and will simply never
close! Weylus hath been closed for about two years.
Shame, too, as this replica of the Imperial City was
equisite. And DJJimmyBee is CORRECt that the Bali Hai
in Lynnefield has KICKIN' strong drinks and a decent
Tiki decor. I lament the death of the Aku Aku, but
happy for Jimmy and Cleve's castoffs of it. I have
been told a rumour of a Kahiki-like joint in Western
Mass with live hula and fire shows, but I'll believe
it when I see it.
And as a cryptic remark, I close with saying there
ain't nothing wrong with Cecil Taylor. NOTHING!

Not to worry if anyone who buys this CD is disappointed. It is a hot item
on ebay and you'll have no problem recovering your money. I started mine at
five bucks with no reserve and it's at $46 with three days to go.

Subject: (exotica) Trader Vic's - Atlanta
I live in Atlanta and dine at our Trader Vic's semi-regularly. Indeed, it
has been noticably busier in the last six months or so.
A Don Ho tribute band calling themselves Don Horowitz performed there
recently. The event was hosted by Kamel Cigarettes and organized by a
fellow named Jim Stacey and a local surf band called The Penetrators who
also performed. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the performance, but it
seemed cool.
I interviewed the manager of the location - Manzoor Haque - for a project I
was working on, and he implied that the restaurant wouldn't be going
anywhere anytime soon. Haque previously managed the Chicago location and
seems to run the place effectively.
BTW,
The great Japanese director Suzuki Seijun can be spotted at a LA tiki bar in
bonus materials on the Criterion Collection DVD edition of his film "Branded
To Kill". Judging by the skull mug he is drinking out of, I'll assume it is
the Beverly Hills Vic's.
Great film with an unexpected tiki connection!

A favorite of mine is Return To Paradise by The 50 Guitars Of Tommy Garret.
An album that I rarely see mentioned with great sound and a superb version
of Quiet Village.
The album has the all the exotica trademark percussion, and the guitars and
mandolins give it a
napolitan twist. I┤ve cherished this album for 14 years.

Hey, what about Robert Drasnin's 'Voodoo', absolutely beautiful classic
Exotica LP.
And for slightly more modern, without being new I'd add Piero Umiliani's 'Il
Corpo' OST, not classic, but wonderfully dreamy and exotic, from around
1970.
And which Denny and Lyman ones exactly?
I got a copy of Arthur Lyman's 'Taboo 2' over Christmas and am completely
mesmerised by it. It has such a great sound, full of space. It's almost
like dub or Detroit techno. Obviously they would have built the sound
around Lymans vibes, and the sound does take its lead from that. Spacey
rather than over-arranged with a sound in every nook and cranny of the
acoustic spectrum. The kind of thing you can play really loud, but still
talk over in a normal voice.
Hard to describe, but I know what i mean. Lovely in a way that not much
