The original title was 'Schizophrenic' and that's what the pre-release publicity was done under, but after a complaint from a mental health charity it was changed last minute to 'Schizophonic'.

(AP) -- Rick Fields, a writer and close friend of Beat poet Allen Ginsburg who chronicled the rise of Buddhism in the United States, died Sunday of cancer. He was 57. Fields wrote ``How the Swans Came to the Lake: A Narrative History of Buddhism in America'' in 1981. He began writing at the Whole Earth Catalog in 1969, and later contributed regularly to the Yoga Journal and New Age Journal. He also founded the Loka Journal and taught at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in Boulder, Colo. *Lawrence J. Nunn WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Lawrence J. Nunn, who created the grinning Freddy the Alligator which still adorns canal bridges, water conservation pamphlets and Florida Turnpike toll booths, died Monday. He was 81. In 1963, Nunn joined the flood control district, now known as the South Florida Water Management District, and worked there for 20 years. He created the alligator logo for the district and produced a film about the life of an alligator in the wild. He named the cartoon logo after Freddy, a real life baby gator who hatched in his film. Nunn eventually gave the real gator to the Palm Beach Zoo and would visit him on lunch breaks. Freddy was killed by vandals in 1985. *Jabu Nkosi JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) -- Jabu Nkosi, a jazz keyboardist who played with such luminaries as Miriam Makeba and Harry Belafonte, has died of heart failure. He was 46. The Sunday Times said Nkosi had high blood pressure, diabetes and cirrhosis of the liver. It did not say when he died. The son of legendary alto sax and clarinet player Zakes Nkosi, Jabu Nkosi left school at an early age and began performing jazz with friends and family. He never learned to read music but amazed fellow musicians with his intuitive grasp of harmony and other concepts. Nkosi's keyboard style was characterized by his delicacy and ability to improvise. Nkosi was frequently hospitalized the last two years, which limited his performances and his financial resources. He lived in the black township of Alexandra near Johannesburg, unable to afford electricity. # 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, 15 Jun 1999 13:11:00 -0400 From: "Rajnai, Charles, NNAD" Subject: (exotica) New Machine Ohboyohboyohboy Just got a reel to reel deck and now I want tapes....yummy old loungy-exotic stuff.

Hi all, I, too, winced when I saw Geri Halliwell's album title. But while I had always thought that the title was a ComEd invention, an essay I read recently gave me reason to believe otherwise. The following is from ethnomusicologist Steven Feld's essay "From Schizophonia to Schismogenesis: The Discourses and Practices of World Music and World Beat," found in both _Music Grooves_ (Charles Keil and Steven Feld, eds., 1994) and _The Traffic in Culture_ (George E. Marcus and Fred R. Myers, eds. 1995): "'Schizophonia refers to the split between an original sound and its electo-acoustical transmission or reproduction,' writes Canadian composer Murray Schafer, introducing his terminology of soundscape research and acoustic ecology in _The Tuning of the World_ (1977:90). . . . Summarizing his concept Schafer writes: I coined the termed schizophonia in _The New Soundscape_ [1969] intending it to be a nervous word. Related to schizophrenia, I wanted it to convey the same sense of aberration and drama. Indeed, the overkill of hi-fi gadgetry not only contributes generously to the lo-fi problem, but it creates a synthetic soundscape in which natural sounds are becoming increasingly unnatural while machine-made substitutes are providing the operative signals directing modern life. (Schafer 1997:91)" After reading this, I merely thought ComEd was proudly claiming the "schizophonic" mantle in the face of such hand-wringing done by those (like Schafer) who insist on seeking out some sort of authenticity in music. The word seemed frighteningly appropriate to me, although, to be sure, it's probably not a widely known or used word--it's not in my dictionary, for example. Anyway, there you go.

Actually I'm going to be visiting him in less than a month in order to relieve him of as many records as possible. I'm doing him a favour actually. That's how he sees it too. He picks up a lot of records. It's often got nothing to do with whether he wants them or not. A lot of them are crap that nobody would want but in the last couple of years I've been "educating" him on the kind of crap that we like. Supposedly he's got a lot of them. Last fall, his wife drove up here and brought a box of his discards. I kept a dozen or so and sold the rest for him. And he was thankful to get anything. Harvey's a "nickle and dime" kind of guy and apparently in Cleveland he can't get even the small sum of money for them that I got for him. As far as the question of whether anyone else writes about record collecting in that way, besides the obvious one - "High Fidelity" - I can't think of anyone. But in a few months there will be a film on this subject and I know for a fact that Harvey is in it. If you like mystery novels, you might check out George Pelecanos. There's not much about record collecting in them but his hero does make a lot of obscure musical references. Or more obscure than you usually find in novels.

Partly through my influence he's become a big lounge/exotica/cool and strange fan and he's somehow attracted that kind of record to the store. There's this guy who keeps coming in to sell stuff. He says that he's an electrician and that he keeps ending up in homes where the people have vinyl and he offers to sell it for them. Who knows? Anyway he came in today and Scott went outside and when he came back in with the first of five milk crates, he said "It's going to blow your mind". I don't think I've ever seen exotica records in such immaculate shape. Particularly the covers. But the vinyl too. I won't even list the cool jazz stuff or anything else. Just stick to exotica. There were perfect copies of: ARTHUR LYMAN - Blowin in the Wind - Bwana A SURFMEN - Exotic Island LES BAXTER - Fabulous Sounds of... YMA SUMAC - Inca Taqui (10 inch) SID RAMIN etc - New Sound America Loves Best SID BASS - With Bells on DICK SCHORY - Bang Barroom etc - Wild Percussion - Music to break any mood plus... MARCO POLO ADVENTURERS - Orienta An amazing record I'd never heard of and which I'm now trying to relieve him of. THE ODD COUPLE SINGS on Phase Four With a classic "golden throat" version of Jack Klugman - pre-surgery - croaking out "You're so vain" and Tony Randall sort of answering him in between the lyrics. And this record called "MANDINGO", not the soundtrack. The story on the back claims that some newly discovered Caribbean guy named Mandingo made the record and played all the thirty or forty instruments ranging from various drums through electric harpsichord and synth. From what I've heard so far, this is a great record in the Manu Dibango mode. So the stuff is still out there. Maybe next time I'll tell you about the guy with the milk crates full of Zappa, Beefheart and Hawkwind and the pitiful expression on his face as his girlfriend forced him to sell his collection.

I know, I know that sounds like old geezer music, but if you like Perez Prado, Sinatra, Les Baxter, etc. than listen, ( i think this might be syndicated) Since i drive a '66 beetle and only have AM radio it seems sooo appropriate to have songs like "fever" with peggy lee, or "apache" or great command record hits. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

NAT and all other exoticamongers, YES, the truth is out, The Marco Polo Aventurers ORIENTA is a CLASSIC piece of "strange" music. I believe it is actually just a bunch of studio musicians who put themselves together for this one record. I've been lucky to happen upon two copies of this. The second one I got at a record show, and the guy was selling it for like $5, and asked me if I was just getting it for the (very cool) cover! I informed him the music inside was better, probably jacking up the price to $25 to the next unlucky buyer...I gave it away as a gift...so I'm down now to one copy...a cherished one, at that!

A US federal appeals ruled Tuesday that a device that plays music recorded and distributed via computers and the Internet in the MP3 format does not fall under the jurisdiction of the nation's anti-piracy laws. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco found that the Rio MP300 device, manufactured by Diamond Multimedia Systems Inc. , does not qualify as a "digital audio recording device" and so is not subject to the restrictions defined in the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act. <> Reported By Newsbytes.com, http://www.newsbytes.com ======================================================================== EMusic.com Also Completes Acquisition Of Internet Underground Music Archive (IUMA) SAN DIEGO, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- EMusic.com Inc.
