Now let me understand this: Bill Gates, whose identity was unequivocally cleared as "satan" just a few days ago, is a "geek", when I always believed he's in fact the typical "nerd". I remember days, when it was quite hip to be a nerd - well, at least to know someone who is a nerd - and it was strictly connected to "computer", and now everybody agrees, that nerds are not desirable anymore. I'm afraid that might happen to the term geek one day, too. As for me I share a 85% interest in everything and therefore can't qualify for "geek", right?

Reason 1: I've already got, like, seven versions of the tune in my little tiny collection. Also, virtually every mix tape I've ever traded for has a copy of the tune. There isn't anyone who hasn't done it, it seems. Reason 2: They all rock. I have yet to hear a bad version of the tune. Anyway, another canon addition: Harlem Nocturne - so many different versions and again, all great. I think this one definitely belongs. Also: Cool - I've only heard a few versions of this and they're all good, including the original. A personal fave.

Part parody, part Zen-like nature and outdoor-adventure show, "Fishing with John" is the newest series from IFC and John Lurie. Leader of the musical group The Lounge Lizards and independent filmmaker/actor John Lurie writes/directs/hosts this six-part series, in which he travels to the most exotic and dangerous places on Earth to go fishing with famous guests, including IFC Advisor and director Jim Jarmusch, musician/actor Tom Waits, and actors Matt Dillon, Willem Dafoe and Dennis Hopper. In continuing the journey begun by the legendary Marlin Perkins and Jacques Cousteau, John Lurie joins the ranks of America's great television outdoorsmen (even though Cousteau was French). "Marlin Perkins shouldn't be the only one who can tell you what the animals are thinking," says John Lurie.

I am far from an expert on this, but I think that this cd is now trash. Again, I may be wrong, but it's my understanding that once a scratch is deep enough on the LABEL side (where the information is embedded) for light to shine through when you hold it up to a light source, it is beyond repair.

Or maybe it reminds me of Hogan's Heroes and "You will listen to these tunes and you will like them!" (Isn't that where I heard that?) Or a lack of discernment, standards, taste... a blind acceptance. You see those tunes on a record and your reaction is what? "Oh this is certainly good!" I can't believe anyone here really believes that. It's interesting to think about WHY these tunes showed up on record after record, what was it about these tunes that they appealed to that audience or at least why the record producers assumed they would. The producers might have done these tunes because they THOUGHT they couldn't ruin them but the idea that we the audience automatically agree with them... well it's thinking like that, that produces Celine Dion.

And apparently liked convertibles too. On Easy Come, Easy Go, he's driving some kind of classic old convertible and he's pulled up alongside a "faceless" blonde in a similar convertible. (I've got an autographed copy. "To Mary and Bob" If anybody here can convince me that they ARE Mary and Bob, I'd give it up I guess.) But my favourite is Mr.Dee goes to town where he's sitting high on a stage and in front of him are this couple and I'd say, if I know anything about body language, that woman is not going home with her date that night. I think it would be boring for people who don't have the records and can't see a scan of the cover but I have a few covers that I'd love to hear interpretations of, especially from some of the women on the list. I'm thinking specifically of "Serenade for love" by Richard Hayman but I don't think I should go into my theory if we can't all look at the picture. >Persuasive Percussion, Volume 3, Command RS 817 SD. This may be the last >percussion album from their series that I did not yet have. I wouldn't say >it's my favorite, but it has its own points. I think you meant that this completed your "set" but if by "last", you mean that there are only three volumes, there are at least 4. It's a little confusing but as far as I can tell, the first two volumes were Terry Snyder's and then he must have left and Enoch Light himself took over. And as much as I love a lot of Enoch Light's "own" records, the style of the records change noticeably and suffer for it. This brings up something that I assume someone here could clear up for me. WHAT DID ENOCH LIGHT REALLY DO? What role did he play on these records? On Persuasive volume 2, it's Terry Snyder and the All stars but it's "produced by Enoch Light". On volume three and four, Terry is gone and now it's "Originated and produced by Enoch Light". But it says Lew Davies did the arrangements on volumes 3 and 4 and Lew was also involved in volumes 1 and 2, even though they refer to Terry Snyder most of the time. So what did Lew do, what did Terry do and what did Enoch do? I've always been confused by this given that the "arrangements" are what distinguished these records. And the arrangements are so similar from record to record, or at least there are certain constants. On the other hand, Persuasive without Terry Snyder sort of sounds like Enoch's Provocative records and Terry Snyder's records on his own (like on Ultra Audio) sound a lot like the Command records he made with Enoch. Are you following this? What did Enoch do? And what's the difference between Enoch Light and the Light Brigade and a record he just originated and produced? >The James Bond Thrillers, The Roland Shaw Orchestra, London LL 3412. I was >ready for the worst, but had to try it I'm sure I've used up my reply allotment but besides having a spectacular cover that I can't imagine anyone passing up, no matter how suspicious they might be of the music, Roland Shaw's THEMES FOR SECRET AGENTS has a shockingly good version of "Our Man Flint", a hard tune to ruin but he really does it justice... though I could edit out the trombone solo. That's it. Let the threads unravel.

Yes of course there are female nerds and female geeks but just as there are disproportionately fewer female record accumulators, there are fewer female geeks and/or nerds. I brought up the topic because I wondered if the terms were interchangeable to folks here or whether they had distinct meanings. I think it's obvious that on some level, "nerd" has a more negative connotation. You're less likely to say "yeah I'm a nerd". You're less likely to celebrate it, I think. But there's some irony there because I see the difference between nerd and geek to be the difference between being out in the world and being locked up in your hovel. NERDS GO OUT. They go places, they hang out with other nerds, they go to nerd conventions. Geeks stay in, keep their own company. They may communicate with other geeks but it probably wouldn't be out in the world that they do it. A geek might send a posting into a list but he would never agree to meet another person on their list for fear that he be found out as something other than the cool dude he appears to be in his frequent and lengthy (ranting) posts. Geeks have a hard time looking you in the eye. Nerds are all over you. Having said that, I've heard these meanings attributed in the opposite way, reversed. By my definition there would be more female nerds than female geeks because well... socialization discourages women from "standing out" or being different more than it does men. And I'm not talking about "being an individual" because no one is encouraged to be that. Women are more socially adept, more driven to be social and therefore there are more female nerds than females holed up in their rooms making a "suit of skin"... which also may explain why there are disproportionately fewer female serial killers. The quiet neighbour that nobody really got to know until he climbed the tower that day is much much more likely to be a man. And I don't think that's just about men and violence. I can't believe I just wrote "men and violence". Please transfer this post to any of a number of 12-step posts that I'm sure exist somewhere.

In the movie "The Breakfast Club" one character calls another a "neo-naxi-zoom-dweebie". There was also a short-lived television show called "Dweebs" in the USA. It was set in a computer technical support center. # 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: Wed, 03 Jun 1998 21:04:17 -0400 From: itsvern@ibm.net Subject: Re: (exotica) The Ray Charles Singers > > While we're discussing the Ray Charles Singers, Jumping at the chance to rave about the Ray Charles Singers version of "Commuter Blues" on their Sunrise Serenade album, whose cover features the hands of a man and wife reaching across a nightstand to touch each other from their respective single beds. "Commuter Blues" has this very listenable lazy lilting swing that well captures the feeling of being stuck in traffic...its definitely not a road rage song. The chorus is split between the males who complain about the traffic as they rush to catch their trains in the morning and the females who complain about the traffic as they run their errands throughout suburbia. Both sing about their desire to trade places with their partners. It's actually one of those songs that probably has more relevance now than when it was released and I would love to hear some DJ play it during the rush hour.

Highlights include a bossa cover of Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out," guest vocals by P5's Maki Nomiya, a song in French, mixes by Le Hammond Inferno and Maxwell Implosion, and a Piero Piccioni cover. As you can see, it's got pretty much everything a fan of modern easy listening would want, and of course it's from Japan. I hear that Bungalow (which put out the record in Europe) is about to get some kind of deal in the US. Any truth to this rumor? It'd be nice to stop paying import prices for their excellent releases. Also of interest, Richard Cameron, of Dutch easy aces Arling & Cameron, will DJ in New York next week. I believe it'll be at the bar on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center, meaning it'll be free.
