Baby Doll is one of THE all time classic covers, and Natalie is way too luscious to be condemned. Have any of you actually listened to that Fran Warren "Hey There" LP or that Jonah Jones LP with the rear view of those Capri pants gals? Mister Buddwing play on Turner again Oct 16th, music well integrated into an ok movie. House of Bamboo played last week but I forgot. to watch or tape. The Hustler supposedly coming to DVD early next year with commentary by Newman. Just out on DVD The Dunwich Horror with the prized Baxter score (but in mono). Watched this on TV a while back and it was lame, but for $10 what the hell. FINALLY, Twin Peaks episodes 1-7 coming to DVD 12/4. Special pilot episode not included but available now in Europe Region 2 or Hong Kong region 0 (from hkfilms.com in the US). Also on DVD 12/4 Fritz Lang's the Big Heat from 1953. There's a 3-piece combo in the club where Lee Marvin hangs out, IIRC accordion, bass, and guitar, a real 3 Suns kinda thing. However, they don't look like any of the few pictures of the 3 Suns I've seen, so they remain a mystery to me. From the excellent documentary shown on A&E recently, I learned that Suns' Al Nevins formed Aldon Records with Don Kirshner and brought us all those great Brill Bldg/girl group/spectropop sound records, my very favorite type of music. This period coincided with my adolescence, and I have been blasting the Ronettes and Cookies on my freeway commute for months now. Another example of how music from a certain period of your life stays with you forever. Other recent DVDs of exotica interest include Sweet Smell of Success, The Emerald Forest, the Wicker Man, more Universal horror two-fers and Dario Argento's Special Edition of Suspiria with the separate Goblin CD. (BTW if you have never seen Dario's daughter Asia you are missing a treat and a lovely tattoo.) Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay come to DVD 11/30 in a Something Weird two-fer of Primitive Love and Mondo Balardo with Boris Karloff! Which reminds me that Something Weird's DVD Blaze Starr Goes Nudist stars Ralph Young of Sandler and Young as a nudist camp director who sings "Going Back to Nature" and plays strategically-placed accordion. So for the Sandler & Young completists out there, something else to buy. There is too much damn stuff. Have you seen the mp3 newsgroups lately? Unbelieveable.......

I only have heard one of her records, Le Bonheur, and it was also with Areski. I was expecting it to be something closer to France Gall but it was more experimental, very influenced by what we would call today "world music" (Areski's family is from Algiers). Strange singing, almost percussive. A friend who knows her records better than I do said that she did have a France Gall like phase in the early 70s. That record Brigitte Fontaine est... is supposed to be quite bubblegummy, but I tried to find it without much success. I found a page about her here http://www-public.rz.uni-duesseldorf.de/~kucklae/bfr_info.htm There's a good bio here http://www.rfimusique.com/o2cf_gb/grolier_v5/cf_gb_base?INPUT-%3Eaffiche_passeport(206) Bye, Manuel Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.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: Sun, 30 Sep 2001 00:46:14 -0700 From: "F. Cobalt" Subject: (exotica) hopkins/areski + fontaine Re: Kenyon Hopkins. Duh, earlier when I said I wasn't thrilled about The Fugitive Kind soundtrack I was talking about The Strange One. My mind has been all over the place lately. I haven't even HEARD The Fugitive Kind. Sorry. Re: Fontaine and Areski. From what I know about Brigitte Fontaine and Areski, he worked with her quite a bit from the beginning of her recording career. He's on a number of her early albums, and even pops up on her new one for a few songs. I could recommend her with or without his contribution, but together they really have a skill at that minimalist/eerie mood. I'm a big fan of the Comme a la Radio album, which she did with Areski and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. It strikes a fair balance between eerie, detached, cold, warm, and intimate. It's nice to see her work getting reissued... though of you see the EP she did with Stereolab, run away quick. She sounds terrible, and so do they.

(Information about her in German is at: http://online.prevezanos.com/schlager/h/herr.shtml for example) I haven't heard the song, but I'm wondering if it's the original of Hong Kong singer Ge Lan's "Hula-Twist." Can anybody confirm or deny this? The beginning of the latter version goes like this: Yo-De-lei Yo-De-Lei Yo-De-Lei Hu-La Hu-La Twist! If you can navigate through Chinese characters, a 28.8K real audio file of this version can be heard at: http://www.boxup.com/big5/artist/other/many-80.htm? It's the tenth track on Disk Two.

I have both and they are one in the same. Good score, it defenitely is a keeper, if anything for the cool volcano cover and red vinyl. I have a question. I got really lucky and thrifted a mint (not a mark on it) copy of Les Baxter/Bas Sheva "the Passions" on 10" LP today, and its in this big thick box like there should be more stuff in it. but only the one record was in it. (BTW, the record was sealed in its own plastic bag inside the box). Was there a booklet or perhaps something else that was to go into the jacket. Does anyone know, or have this same set? Im very happy to get it anyway, its in such nice condition. Also got a bunch of 50's 10" verve and prestige jazz lps from the same batch. I love the art work on those old 10"s. thanks for the help - -jonathan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp # 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: Mon, 01 Oct 2001 13:35:53 -0400 From: lousmith@pipeline.com Subject: (exotica) Loser's Lounge on NPR http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/atc/20010927.atc.19.ram This segment is from All Things Considered Thursday, September 27, 2001 Losers Lounge Commentator Stacy Horn has an appreciation for a show at the Westbeth Theater in Manhattan's West Village, called Loser's Lounge.

Cover page: red with two inch high white capital letters "The Passions". The woman is in the bottom right (black on red). page 2: photo across the middle of the page. The photo is the center part of the woman's face. Above the photo is a one inch red stripe angling down with abstract line segments in black. Below the photo is a caption: "A WOMAN'S PASSIONS... violent, anguished, poignant, ecstatic... are eternally fascinating. Here Les Baxter expresses them in richly orchestrated music, using as an instrument the remarkably sensitive voice of Bas Sheva--a voice whose vivid colorations range from the gutteral snarl of savagery to a delicate and lyric beauty." page 3: Black. The black abstract line segments turn red as they continue off this page. The woman, as on the cover, is in a black and white photo on black in the bottom right corner. In text are the descriptions of each of the musical selections using a quote from either the Bible or Shakespeare: Despair, Ecstasy, Hate, Lust, Terror, Jealousy, Joy. pages 4-5 Text in two columns per page..."high fidelity critique" with an introduction, a track by track analysis and the total instrumentation. page 6 "on the technical side" with a general description of the record and also a detailed explanation of "the stylus" and "the playback curve" with appropropriate diagrams for each. page 7 is the promo page describing "ALBUMS FOR THE AUDIOPHILE" SAL-9020, LAL-9022, LAL-9023, LAL-9024 and this one LAL-486. the back page is in red with a white window.

This, from the liner notes: "Don Tiki is the keeper of the flame of the almost extinct volcano of Exotica music. When the red glow of tiki torches was snuffed out in lounges and bachelor pads alike, the exotic sounds of Marty, Artie, and Les (Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman and Les Baxter) also dimmed. But in a recent wave of appreciation, their haunting melodies have been unearthed again and used to conjure up lost Tiki temples in the minds of their gently hypnotized listeners. Don Tiki continues the lineage of this tradition, living on in whimsical reverie and reverence. In this day and age, we are all aware that paradise on earth does not exist. But the need for it is eternal, and can be playfully indulged in. Tiki bars are being erected again in city centers, living room corners and office cubicles, where the sultry rhythms of Exotica resound. Don Tiki is providing the soundtrack for this Technicolor projection of a Polynesian pop paradise." Sven A. Kirsten - bookoftiki.com Hope you like it, wish you were here!

All Quiet Flows The Don One more thing, the English title is "And Quiet Flows the Don" (I believe that's right, rather than "All"). But the Russian title is "Tikhii Don," which almost sounds like Tiki Don--surely it's a coincidence, but a good one.

Since Amazon doesn't even list this, where can we go to buy this sucker?? Floyd, you can't leave us hanging like this! > Aloha, > Fluid Floyd > Taboo Records Floyd, I'm glad to see you kept the "Skinny Dip" name -- especially since I was fortunate enough to play a part in your market research! The titles sound great. How about any guest artists? Looks like you weren't able to score the reclusive artist we spoke about. :-( The tides are definitely turning when a new Don Tiki album comes out!

Which remix 12"is it? If it's the one with the Underwolves, Transglobal Underground, State of Bengal and, the absolute killer in the pack the unknown to me at least, Manta 1000 mix, I'd have to agree with you. It's a regular in my sets (just played it the other night to great effect, the fact that there don't appear to be any Arabic DJs in Dublin is a source of bookings for me). There is however, a 12" with hard house and trance mixes of this song. Scary, but true. If it's that one I don't like you any more. And you're claimed for a fight. rob _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp # 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: Tue, 2 Oct 2001 12:59:17 -0700 From: "Doug Dale" Subject: (exotica) Honey West This report is from Mr. Showbiz. Honey West as a film. If this happens, do you think they'll ever release the Mullendore soundtrack on CD? I hope so. Can't afford the high prices I've seen out there. Anyone know if it's good? Mr. Showbiz July 16, 2001 Witherspoon Sweet on Honey West Legally Blonde star Reese Witherspoon has put a sexy twist on lawyering with her new No. 1 film - now she'll do the same for the private eye biz. The 25-year-old actress has signed a deal to bring the stylish 1960s small-screen detective Honey West to the big screen, Variety reports. The character, who emerged from the spy-crazy '60s when Mission: Impossible and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. ruled the airwaves, was known for her pet ocelot and girly gadgets like a lipstick case that concealed a radio. A similar TV project, about a character called Honey Vicarro, was announced in March as a vehicle to star blond bombshell Jenny McCarthy. The Honey West script will be penned by the Legally Blonde team of Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith and will be produced by Blonde producer Marc Platt. The rights to the character, who originated in a series of pulp fiction novels by Skip Firling, reverted from Aaron Spelling, who only briefly owned them, to Firling's widow, Gloria. "We had a lot of martinis and developed a love fest with Glori, got the rights and put the film together with Marc and Reese on the Legally Blonde set," Smith told the trade paper. The film is described as a contemporary action-drama, but it's sure to be lighthearted, considering that West is a gumshoe whose business card features her 38-24-36 measurements.

It's a neat show - a spin off of Burkes Law. Gee, I can't even recall it being shown on TV reruns much...my wife and I watched a couple of episodes at the Museum of TV and Radio in NYC on our last trip there. The soundtrack is very cool, swinging, etc etc - just the kind of music you would think would accompany a honey like Honey. I happened upon mine during one of those ebay lulls when it slipped by those who wanted it. 45 bucks seemed like a steal. It really is worth it, musically and a frameable cover to boot, fairly obscure TV tie-in - a great collectible. Ever out on CD? who knows! The great soundtracks to one of the top films of the sixties "In Cold Blood", nominated for best score, ain't on CD. And there are so many more, I could go on and on. But I'll save that for my whistling records. :) # 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: Tue, 02 Oct 2001 16:37:30 -0700 From: Chuck Collazzi Subject: Re: (exotica) how to beat the high cost of living Jerry: What you refer to as "distortion" is merely a part of a much larger, unquantifiable process. Even the feds take part in creating "inflation" in markets! Also: The use of words like "average", "common", "absurd", etc., are entirely subjective....it's OK not to like what happens, but no point in whining about the inexorable forces of supply and demand....besides, and if any of us really knew what anything was really worth, we'd be wouldn't need lottery tickets to get rich!
