Subject: (exotica) Akira Ifukube Italian MP3 (?!?)
http://www.mp3.com/akiraifukube
years ago there was a concert by the E.Chiti Orchestra performing Godzilla
music by Ifukube. It all appeared on a now deleted cd by Film Music Art
Studio.
Some of this material will be made available for streaming and/or
downloading, and there are also 2 spoken workd tracks with the composer
(appearing on video from Japan) thanking the musicians, the people and
Roberto Zamori who had organized the performance.
I will post updates about this page (as usual); for now we have free mp3
download of the Ifukube message in Italian, some minimal info on
filmography/discography, and links to 3 Godzilla compilations from Emusic.
have fun :)

There was a similar thing back in the thirties called "Hit of the Week"
records. Those were printed on cardboard.

yes. no amusement value whatsoever. pop-singer? hmm... sang sailor shanties mostly. sounds like a softie version of Heino. non-outed gay from Hamburg. tragic: got 50$ for his million seller hit "Junge komm bald wieder", because he was just hired as a "studio singer". was in N.Y.C. for one year in 196x and thinks he is a world star since. peinlich!

Well...
Don't know if this will be of interest to anyone here... a friend has just scanned and posted in his yahoo broiefcase some scans of Mexican Fotonovelas... the first two pages are quite 'exotica-influenced', and then there is El Santo fighting against one of those wooden dolls usually used by artists to learn how to draw.
Nice thing to see... The address is http://y42.briefcase.yahoo.com/andrescaicedo

Yeah Lexx can grow on you. I ignored it for a long time and then I noticed
that some friends of mine had become involved and... it's definitely "unique".
This is a silly silly discussion though. Almost all TV and movies stink.
No matter where they originate. And things are getting worse.
The reason? The people in charge. The ones who say yes or no. They're
changing. They're less and less likely to be wannabe producers, writers
and directors. More and more they're coming from non-filmmaking backgrounds.
Let me tell you a story. A friend of mine, out of desperation, took one of
those expensive courses where they teach you digital editing.
Most of the kids in his class had no background in film. They weren't even
fans of film. And they weren't all that curious. Nonetheless they wanted
to be editors.
One day the head of the "department" took over their class and showed them
a film which supposedly would demonstrate "slow editing".
The film was Wim Wenders "Wings of Desire".
At one point, one of the students asked "When was this film made?"
Nobody seemed to know (except my friend but he shut up).
The teacher, the head of the media arts department, scratched her head and
said "I don't know but it must be the forties, judging from the black and
white and all..."
That's so mind boggling on so many levels. My first reaction after hearing
the story and lifting my jaw from the table was "Either Peter Falk had a
father who looked just like him or he's remarkably well preserved!"
I tell that story to illustrate the fact that more and more people are
entering the film and television business with no love or knowledge of the
media. They just want to get a good job in the wonderful world of
television production and they don't really care about anything else.
I could tell more stories. When I read "Catch 22" and it never occurred to
me that someday, I would have stories from my own life that rivalled
anything in that book.

For a change, an email problem that doesn't involve xmission.
My email system lunched out last night/earlier today, so if you sent me an
off-list message and I didn't reply, it's because I didn't receive it
(checked the on-list action via the web archive).
Pardon me. Back to your regular programming.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Some fill-ups in my exotica collection
Magnus scored:
<<"Whistling on the beach of Waikiki" Muzzy Marcellino, Stereo Coral (CRL
757441). Terrific and beautiful, as
I imagined, this is my second Marcellino LP...>>
Nice one Magnus! All you exotica lovers won't be disappointed with this one
at all, it's wonderful. All three of his whistling LP's are great. "Birds
of a Feather" and (Art Linkletter's) "House Party Music" time are the
others.
Fred Lowery made more records, but as far as his LP's go, really only
"Whistle A Happy Tune" and "Walking Along Kicking The Leaves" are pop in
nature. His other LPs are religious and not as much fun. the Anita Kerr
singers do some vocals on the former and there is some beautiful hawaiian
guitar on the later. Lot's of great Fred Lowery Columbia 78's - the 40's
were his heyday - the ones where he teams with vocalist Dorothy Rae are my
favorites.
Another great pop whistling record is by Art Coates, "Whistling For the
Birds". a couple of my favorite tracks, Bubbles In The Wine and Yellow Bird
will surely bring a smile to the face of the most skeptical of whistling
recordings.
Then there is Ralph Platt (whose whistling is much more bird like) and his
buddy Lorin Whitney on pipe organ. They made a bunch of records - all sound
about the same. Now we are getting into the hard core sacred stereo stuff
on WORD and it's all pretty grim. But I like it :) Whitney made lots of
religious records on his own and when paired with steel guitarist Bud
Tutmarc, the results are quite good - especially the Hawaiian themed ones.

...Brazil, Tico-Tico, and Nola.
I never could stand more than two versions of Caravan in succession, but the
afformentioned melodies seem to benefit from being juxtaposed with other
intrepretations of themselves.
Not that these are definitive versions, but I tend to favor the following:
Brazil - Esquivel. It's just so...BIG.
Tico Tico - Charlie Parker. Never heard it so ernestly played.
Nola - Billy Williams. How cool is HE?
