What you're doing, Alan, is erasing any evidence that you lived into the
1970s and beyond.  And when all your 1970s and 1980s records are gone,
Sergeant Friday will knock at your door and find you nodding off behind the
beaded curtain, with some fuzztone groovy guitar record playing.  The
thirty years you thought happened afterward were all a hallucination, and
nobody will believe your description of them.  I'm part of that
hallucination, Alan.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) -- Harvey R. Ball, inventor of the Smiley Face,
died Thursday after a short illness. He was 79.

Ball, who co-owned an advertising and public relations firm in
Worcester, designed the Smiley Face in 1963 to boost the morale of
workers in two recently merged insurance companies.

Ball was paid $45 for his artwork by State Mutual Life Assurance Cos. of
America -- now Allamerica -- in 1963. He never applied for a trademark
or copyright.

At its peak of popularity in 1971, more than 50 million Smiley Face
buttons were sold. In 1999, the U.S. Postal Service issued a Smiley Face
stamp.

Richard Evans Schultes, a swashbuckling scientist and influential
Harvard University educator who was widely considered the preeminent
authority on hallucinogenic and medicinal plants, died on Tuesday, April
10, 2001, in Boston. He was 86 and lived in Waltham, a Boston suburb.
Dr. Schultes (pronounced SHULL- tees) was often called the father of
ethnobotany, the field that studies the relationship between native
cultures and their use of plants. Over decades of research, mainly in
Colombia's Amazon region, he documented the use of more than 2,000
medicinal plants among Indians of a dozen tribes, many of whom had never
seen a white man before.  "I do not believe in hostile Indians," Dr.
Schultes was quoted as saying in a 1992 article about him in The New
Yorker by E. J. Kahn Jr. "All that is required to bring out their
gentlemanliness is reciprocal gentlemanliness."

Robert Moon, the man who came up with the zip code number system in 1963,
has died after a lengthy illness.  He was 83.

Moon, whose exact date of death was not given, was known as "Mister Zip"
after his invention.  He'd begun his postal career in the 1940s and began
work on the system he termed "Zoning Improvement Plan".  He retired in
1965, but went to Washington in 1970 for a seven-year stint as director of
delivery services for the U.S Postal Service.

Sully Boyar, a character actor who worked in films, on television and in
theater, died on March 23 while waiting for a bus in Whitestone, Queens,
where he lived. He was 77.

Reared as one of seven children in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, Mr.
Boyar was an established lawyer when he started thinking about giving it all
up and enrolling in acting classes.

He eventually became a member of the Actors Studio. His career progressed
from small parts in summer stock productions to Off Broadway, often in
experimental works at places like Judson Poets Theater.

Soon, movie parts began to come his way. He appeared in more than a score of
films, including "The Panic in Needle Park," "Last of the Red Hot Lovers,"
"The King of Marvin Gardens," "Dog Day Afternoon," "Car Wash," "Fort Apache,
the Bronx" and "Prizzi's Honor."

He appeared on Broadway in the 1977 revival of David Rabe's "Basic Training
of Pavlo Hummel," which starred Al Pacino. His television credits included
roles in "Barney Miller," "Kojak," "Charlie's Angels," "Law and Order" and,
most recently, "The Sopranos."

Joey Ramone, lead singer of seminal punk act the Ramones, has died from
lymphoma.
 Ramone, born Jeffrey Hyman, formed the punk rock band in his hometown of
Queens, New York, in 1974, along with John Cummings (Johnny Ramone) and
Douglas Colvin (Dee Dee Ramone).
The group's boiled-down, sped-up pop-rock style reinvigorated the rock scene
and influenced the sound of punk acts such as the Sex Pistols and the
Buzzcocks. The band was one of the first punk acts to sign a record
contract, in 1975.
Though the band's most well-known songs - including "Rock and Roll High
School," "I Wanna Be Sedated," and "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" - were recorded
in the 1970s and early '80s, the act continued, with several lineup
shuffles, until 1995's Adios Amigos.

Joey Ramone, lead singer of legendary punk band the Ramones, passed away at
2:40 p.m. Sunday at the age of 49.

The towering front man, born Jeffrey Hyman, did not respond to treatment for
lymphatic cancer, a disease that attacks the body's ability to fight=
 infection.

Along with his cohorts Johnny, Tommy and Dee Dee =97 all of whom adopted
Ramone as a surname =97 Joey was credited with helping found the modern punk
movement. In mixing the griminess of the New York streets with a love of
bubblegum pop, '60s girl groups and the Stooges, the Ramones inspired
everyone from the Sex Pistols and the Clash to Green Day and Blink-182 to
stake their turf on four dirty chords and an (often) inane hook.

With his trademark rose-colored shades, black leather jacket,
shoulder-length hair, ripped jeans and alternately snarling and crooning,
hiccoughing vocals, Joey was the iconic godfather of punk. He gave voice to
some of the most revered songs in the punk canon: "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Gimme
Gimme Shock Treatment," "Rock 'n' Roll High School," "I Wanna Be Sedated,"
"Sheena Is a Punk Rocker."

His profile was indelible.

The image of Joey's body, left foot forward, right foot back, left hand
strangling the microphone, fist pumping in the air as he shouted one of the
band's unofficial mantras, "Gabba Gabba Hey!," is forever imprinted in the
minds of any fan who attended one of the band's 2,263 shows.

Born in the Forest Hills section of Queens, New York, on May 19, 1952, Joey
founded the Ramones in 1974 with Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy. Originally the
drummer, Joey switched to vocals two months after the band played it first
show in March 1974 at New York's Performance Studio.=20

The group soon became a staple at the dingy New York punk club CBGB, home to
fellow downtown bands Talking Heads, Patti Smith and Blondie. In 1975 the
Ramones became the first punk band to sign a record contract. Their
self-titled debut, recorded for $6,000, was released in 1976 and featured
such rock landmarks as "Judy Is a Punk," "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" and
"Beat on the Brat."=20

Destroying the '70s prog-rock idea that rock had to be played by learned
musicians in full command of their instruments, the Ramones pioneered the
do-it-yourself ideal that inspired thousands of punk bands with lots of
energy but dicey chops to pick up instruments and rock.

Their 1977 album Ramones Leave Home featured a quintessential mix of
gutter-punk anthems and homages to classic pop songs ("I Remember You," "Oh
Oh I Love Her So"). It also featured the unofficial Ramones anthem
"Pinhead," in which Joey sang, "I don't want to be a Pinhead no more/ I just
found a nurse that I could go for."

The Ramones not only prodded bands such as the Sex Pistols, the Clash and
X-Ray Spex to take up their instruments and take on the world, but they also
laid the path for the next generation of new wave and punk bands to rock
maximally with minimal flourish.=20

Inspired by the Ramones' wide-open subject matter =97 which ranged from
sniffing glue to male prostitution to lobotomies =97 as well as by the=
 music,
'80s bands such as Husker Du, the Replacements and Devo further exploded the
notion of how rock could sound.

The Ramones released what is arguably their best album, Rocket to Russia, in
1977. Featuring such concert staples as "Cretin Hop," "Rockaway Beach" and
"We're a Happy Family," the album not only summed up the glum outlook of the
punk generation, it was a shrill counterpoint to the disco music that was
sweeping the nation in the wake of "Saturday Night Fever." After trying
their hands at the movies, starring in 1979's "Rock 'n' Roll High School,"
the group entered the studio with one of their idols, '60s' "wall of sound"
producer Phil Spector. The resulting 1980 album, End of the Century,
included a cover of "Baby I Love You" by the Ronettes, who were fronted by
one of Joey's favorite singers, Ronnie Spector (Phil's ex-wife).

The group followed with 10 more studio albums of speedy, anti-social punk
and a relentless touring schedule, and enjoyed Beatlemania-style fame in
Argentina and Japan.

Although the band rarely cracked the album charts and achieved marginal
album sales during a 22-year career, its influence continues to this day.
With most of his contemporaries faded, dead or inactive, Joey became the
embodiment of first-wave punk, with a shy, soft-spoken manner that belied
his band's twisted songs about social misfits too bored, disconnected or
disaffected to play by the rules.

Joey may have shared a last name with his bandmates, but familial love
couldn't keep them from their constant bickering, leading to the Ramones'
dissolution in 1996. After the group played its final show on August 9, 1996
=97 such fans as Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell
jammed with the Ramones that night =97 Joey continued to carry the torch for
the music he loved.

In addition to producing an EP and an album by horror-ska rockers the
Independents =97 whom he tirelessly championed and managed for much of the
late '90s =97 Joey co-produced a 1999 EP by his idol Ronnie Spector.

The EP featured one of Joey's most poignant tunes, "She Talks to Rainbows,"
a ballad he wrote for the Ramones' 1995 studio swan song, Adios Amigos!. It
was about a girl Joey would often see in his neighborhood, who he said
looked like she was in her own world.

"She's a little lost girl in her own little world/ She looks so happy, but
seems so sad/ Oh yeah/ I'd like to help her/ I'd like to try/ Oh yeah,"
Spector sang in her trademark yearning voice on the EP.=20

In addition to trying to help resurrect the career of his hero Spector, Joey
was working on his debut solo album over the past three years.=20

Collaborating with long-time Ramones producer Daniel Rey, Ramone had written
nearly 20 new tunes that he planned to record with a band that included Andy
Shernoff of the punk group the Dictators, Cracker drummer Frank Funaro and
Rey on guitar.

Joey kept a low profile over the past few years, jumping onstage to belt out
occasional Ramones songs at birthday parties in his honor thrown by his
punk-rocker friends in New York. In February 2000, he buried the hatchet
with former Ramones drummer Marky Ramone, recruiting Marky to play on a
handful of his solo songs.

I give this LP two thumbs up, although every Sammy Kaye album does have a
few "syruppy saxes" cuts amongst the great "shuffle rock" numbers.  "Tiny
Bubbles" is great, and the "Hawaiian War Chant" won out as the "HWC"
version to make my Hawaiian music compilation CD.

Yes, that's right!  From my growing-ever-more-obscure subject lines you may
have guessed that I have indeed picked up some new records!

1. Inferno! - John Buzon Trio
2. Bill Doggett - Fingertips.  I thought I would list this one, because of
all the organ talk of late.  Slower than I thought it would be but rather nice.
3. Discotheque, Vol. 2 - Enoch Light (Haven't listened to it yet)
4. Sparky's Magic Piano.  Yes, indeed!  Very happy to have this one after
hearing bits of it on Fantastica.

By the way, there is a CD copy advertised of SMP
http://www.wecollect2.com/Sparky's%20Magic%20Piano.htm which also plays a
sound clip of "Sparky and the Talking Train.", although they also say that
they have the song "Surfin' Bird" by the "Trashmemn" and I may not
necessarily know themn.

And now I will play two Goldberg Variations at the same time,

Odd that you mention that.  It used to bug me, too, but I know why.  It
smacked to me of cheapness or unhipness, as in, "couldn't they get a REAL
rock band"?  Now, having been able to collect a great deal of what I want,
I can now go back to the "Batman" music (that's the show I associate with
Go-Go music) and find that some of it is rather good.

If any of you see Lord Rockingham's XI's Hoots Mon!/Oh Boy single, buy it
and quick.  Strange vocal drop-ins (Hoots mon, that's a braw brecht
moonlecht necht!) and screechy women (one who wasn't screeching was the
woman on the organ) it's a classic!

Subject: Re: (exotica) So this Everett says to this Yamaha...

Recent finds. I have not done this in some while but
these might be worth a mention:

Cal Tjader: Several Shades of Jade. Great jazz,
exotica style - Tjader's Latin sounds with middle
eastern flourishes. Most of the compositions are Lalo
Schifrin's. He conducted and played piano on the lp.
Great record, probably my favorite of CT's Verve
stuff.

Jack Marshall: The Marshall Swings. Great music and
great cover. Marshall, in his cap, is on the scaffold
with a rope around his neck and an abundantly healthy
yet starkly clad young lady sheriff is about to pull
the lever. All the songs have wild west/wagon trail
titles, but as the jacket notes say, roughly: they
demonstrate closest this marshall ever got to the wide
open planes was speeding past them in his car.
Harpsichord, bongos, Mr Marshall on guitar... fun
stuff indeed.

Ferrante & Teicher: Sound Proof. Wow.

Esquivel: Four Corners. Not as full blown as his
orchestral lps, but very nice nonetheless.

From www.bastamusic.com:

AVAILABLE NOW: Basta has released the complete OUR RELATIONS SUITE by Leroy
Shield, performed by the Beau Hunks and the Metropole Orchestra. The first
edit of the 1936 Laurel & Hardy film, titled "Our Relations," was considered
too slow, and not very funny. It was re-edited to a much shorter and faster
version. The editing obviously effected the soundtrack composed by Shield.
Even we weren't sure what to expect when we started recording, but rest
assured: the final result is fantastic! The CD will come in a beautifully
Piet Schreuders-designed slipcase, which holds a seperate booklet (with
loads of info and a lot of never before published photographs!) and a
jewelcase that comes with an overview of the Beau Hunks recordings from the
past eight years... -

JTQ are interesting because they play real Hammond driven funk tunes and
they sound the business - but not on record. The only way you can sound like
a proper funk band now is by recording on early 70s equipment in an early
70s studio and making records with an early 70s engineer. I've always found
their records lack something compared to the real thing. The classic track
is the Theme From Starsky and Hutch - originally by Tom Scott - which is
much better by JTQ.
On stage though, with the drummer going mad and the Hammond screaming -
nothing else compares.

That would be a little difficult, since "Simple Headphone Mind" is a
collaboration with Nurse With Wound and thus sounds quite different from
their other records (except "Crumb Duck," which is also a NWW
collaboration). Maybe mid-period Stereolab (circa "Mars Audiac Quintet") or
NWW's "Rock 'n' Roll Station" (which utilizes some of the same sound/rhythm
elements from "Simple Headphone Mind") would do the trick.

Bear in mind, though, that NWW's output is widely varied in terms of sound
(surrealist collage, drone, exotica mishmash, death ambient, industrial,
etc.). So is Stereolab, branching out to jazz and funk, but they still
employ the same basic Can-like rhythm all throughout. =)

This discussion prompted me to get out the one remaining Billy Vaughn album
in my collection, "Pearly Shells," and, sure enough, there it is--Caravan.
And you're right, it's a great version, as is his take on Girl From Ipanema
(always a favorite of mine).  I knew there was a reason I kept this one.

Subject: (exotica) Go Go music

Some of the best go-go music I've found turns up on the Italian Soundtracks.

Allegretto por signora from Ennio Morricone's 'Foto Proibite....'

About half of the tracks on the EP's that come with Il Giaguaro (second plug
in a month, but they're good and theres a new one due soon).  The rest are
good, just slower.

Some of the Erotica Italia compilation.

A couple of the tracks on Vampyros Lesbos (OK so German Italian then) CX9
and Not Satisfied

Others I like in the same vein
The Black Queen's beads from the Barbarella OST.
Eleanor Rigby from Spaced Out by Enoch Light.  Wild stuff, theres a couple
more on here as great.
The Schudelmadchen Report LP by Gert Wilden, i can't remember titles for
these tunes,  but theres 3 or 4 uptempo tracks that are just great.
Some tracks from the Shake Sauvage compilation.
Miniskirt Blues by the Flower Children off 'Pebbles Highs of the Mid Sixties
vol 5(?) Mondo Hollywood a go-go'  The rest is 66/67 folk/rock /psych, quite
fun if you like that sort of thing.

Nice set of cross-overs to my Organ loves there.

One I've never figured out was the music from the Pigeon toed Orange Peel
section from a Clint Eastwood film (Dirty Harry?  Presumably Lalo Schiffrin
then?).

It's Schifrin, all right, but it's from "Coogan's Bluff".  I don't think this
one's ever been issued on LP or CD, except as a private pressing
that's been floating around for the last few years (backed with
another, unrelated movie score, if I'm remembering this right).
Anybody got a copy?

Subject: (exotica) Playlist for Dial-ated Pupils: April 14, 2001

On this week's show I mostly concentrated on sounds, ersatz and authentic,
of the Mediterranean and North Africa.  And did a
half-satisfactory/half-forced job of sequeing into a set of straight-up
organ soul jazz with a selection from Paul Gonsalves' excellent "Cleopatra
Feelin' Jazzy" LP.  Which features some exquisite, slinky organ courtesy of
Dick Hyman.

How obscene does that sound?

Subject: (exotica) identifying Greek 78's

I picked up a chronologically wide-ranging (I think) batch of American
pressed Greek 78's from a thrift store a while ago (apparently San Antonio
had a small Greek population), and played 3 of them on my show last weekend.
  I've posted a scan of them, so if any of you 78 folks can tell me anything
about these labels, or their approximate year, or if anyone knows Greek and
can translate the song titles for me, I and my playlists would much obliged.

thanks!

Subject: (exotica) Kahiki update

Don't think this has shown up here:
The Kahiki has a new (?) website at http://www.kahiki.com/. Apparently
Michael Tsao's plans to market Kahiki brand frozen entrees nationwide
lifted off, with lines of frozen entrees carried in the States by Sam's
Club and Costco as well as some regional chains. Details at
http://www.kahiki.com/news.cfm. A photo of the restaurant adorns the
packaging as does the logo from the sign. Those of you who partook of the
farewell party can reminisce with a few more photos from the restaurant
http://www.kahiki.com/aloha.cfm. Damn, I never realized how many awards the
place won. Prowl through the site--there's good info here, including a
bittersweet shot of the four-ton tiki hoisted by crane for storage.
"The management of Kahiki Foods plans to open a larger, grander Kahiki
restaurant in downtown Columbus by the end of 2002. All of the Polynesian
artifacts are stored in a special warehouse and will be used again in the
new Kahiki."  Yippee, the Kahiki will rise again! Mimi
