Police said he shot and killed a policeman by a roadblock south of Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, on Aug. 3 before being shot dead by the officer's partner. Local media said Mr. Ansell, once named Territorian of the Year, was the role model for Paul Hogan's knife-slinging outback hero Crocodile Dundee. Ken Shadie, who wrote "Crocodile Dundee" with Hogan and John Cornell, had seen a television interview with Ansell by British journalist Michael Parkinson. That interview fired Hogan's imagination about a bushman superstar that led to the making of the first Dundee film. Police could not explain Mr. Ansell's action, but said he might have been involved in a shooting incident on Monday night after which the roadblock was set up on the lonely Stuart Highway. Assistant Commissioner John Daulby told reporters Mr. Ansell could easily have evaded the roadblock but instead shot at a policeman from behind some bushes. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Seely will share his grandfather's exclusive recipes at David Berkley's in Pavilions amid 12-foot tall Tiki statues and a huge dugout canoe that once graced the South Seas-style interior of one of the Trader's original restaurants. Twenty restaurants operate throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, while seven more are under construction. The original Trader Vic's restaurant opened in Oakland in 1934. The Trader invented the Mai Tai there in 1944 and introduced it throughout the Hawaiian Islands via the Matson Steamship Lines in the 1950s. David Berkley Fine Wines and Specialty Foods is Northern California's hallmark purveyor of beautiful things to eat and drink. Both hot and cold meals prepared Trader Vic's-style by David Berkley's chef Matt Woolston and his staff will be available for purchase and take-out at this Polynesian Party, along with a connoisseur's collection of products. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit River Oak Center for Children.

I like it because it >appeals to me, and I've spent the majority of my adult life trying to >figure out why, but sometimes, it just does. I think about what I watch and listen to and come up with theories as to why one thing is better than another. None of these ideas are cast in stone. My theories evolve and refine as time goes by, but for me, having an idea of *why* I like something is useful for using as a yardstick to determine what *else* I might like. I pay attention to music, and don't use it as a pass-time or to set a background mood. I consciously listen and analyze what I hear. When I come up with an opinion based on the listening I may be wrong, but at least I have an operating theory. Interestingly enough, after I posted, I received private email from one person who admitted that he also preferred Lyman to Denny and another who said he found Esquivel to be gimmmicky as well, so I guess I am not altogether alone on this. Some music wears better than others. When I first heard Denny and Esquivel years ago, I initially liked it because it was so different from what I had heard before. As I heard more in similar genres I became more interested in the musicality and less interested in the novelty value. I really don't dislike either of them, I just don't listen to them as much as some other people working in the same vein. The post that mentioned that Lyman is thought to be more "jazzy" and less elaborate than Denny clarified for me one of the main reasons I like him. Lyman's music sounds much more spontaneous and the jazz phrasing is quite inspired. There isn't the sound of over-rehersal or over-arrangement in his stuff. It sounds more like a band jamming and bouncing riffs off of each other. Lyman did go downhill later on... everyone does. The first few of everything are always the best I guess. (That's another theory there!) >BTW, the cheeziest music I hear today is contemporary adult, >modern "country", smooth jazz, or modern "R&B". I would widen that to include just about any music that falls under the categories of "current" or "contemporary". (...yet another theory!) We live in the golden age of cheeze.

It took me a while to get into piano records and Nero is one of the people I've grown to appreciate. Where I find boredom and classical attitudes in Roger Williams and Liberace, Nero on the other hand carefully skirts this and has a nice up tempo touch, and the four albums that I have a fairly listenable and each has at least a couple of fun tunes. Most albums are produced by Marty Gold, which although being no guarantee, its can be an assurance of a certain "square hipness". Am I giving the impression that this guy is not to be written off but also not to be too excited about? Good that's what I was aiming for. BTW I'm excluding the previously mentioned album from my description since I am neither a fan of "Hair" or the moog.

Am I missing anything? He has at least one "later" record with late sixties and early seventies tunes that I kind of like. Can't remember the name of it but the cover is very "Now Sound" looking. But you probably wouldn't like it enough to give it much thought. I'm sure there are exceptions but at this point I pretty well don't dismiss anyone in the "easy listening" genre. Ever since someone played me a couple of wacky and beautiful Roger Williams cuts, I've tried to keep an open-ish mind. You can basically ignore Peter Duchin but I have one record - "Comin Home Baby" - which is his version of funky jazz fusion and it works. In its way. And there are certainly A LOT of Werner Muller and Klaus Wunderlich records that bear ignoring. But not all. The first five or six Stanley Black records I heard were dreary string things. And the list goes on. Kostelanatz, Percy Faith, even Lawrence Welk. I've heard all of them used in DJ sets to great effect. One of the "reasons" you can't ignore most of them lies in their obvious need to appeal to every market they could identify. In their zeal to cross over, occasionally they stumbled across ideas that, at least in retrospect, are brilliant. Then again, if one or two great cuts isn't enough for you, then you can ignore a few more artists. I do pick up Andy Williams records by the way. All the time. Again, mostly late sixties and early seventies. His version of "God Only Knows" is lovely and his style is perfect for numbers like Carole King's "It's too late". And then there are his occasional duets with his slippery-fingered wife Claudine. He's no Jack Jones but he had a lovely voice and good arrangers and if you like the tune, you'll probably like his version. As far as Streisand goes, uh, she has a great voice but I do avoid her records. We all draw our own lines and then erase a few.

"It hurts to be in love". There was no connection between his bombastic style and pretty well everything else I loved in those days but I loved it anyway. I still buy his stuff when I see it and keep discovering new gems. "Last Chance to turn around" which was the last cut on the greatest hits but somehow I missed it all those years. "Last two people on earth". (With his style, "last" seems to fit.) And a Jagger-Richards tune I must have missed. "The Girl Belongs to Yesterday" Somehow I think Pitney is one of the connections to the kind of stuff I love now. I could even make another Scott Walker analogy but I won't.

The pick of the lot is Andre Brasseur's "Tasty", simply because of the truly outstanding "Mad Train" (fantastic hammond + drums). Charlie Byrd's "Brazilian Byrd" is nice, bossa on acoustic guitar, including a version of "Limehouse Blues"! Have a couple of albums by The Fluegel Knights, fairly dull. That's all I can think of right now. # 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: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 12:36:06 +0100 From: Peter Hipwell Subject: Re: (exotica) CBS Super Stereo Spectacular > From: m h jemmeson > > Do I have no taste, or is that Stan Butcher 'Winchester Cathedral' track > rather good as well?

Somehow it became a standard -- there are umpteen versions of it. The Paul Mauriat interpretation is quite a stonker, probably the best I've heard; Rudy Valle did a bloody frightening "vocal through a megaphone by a guy who can't sing" version; Chim Kothari and George Martin both do versions incorporating sitar; Perry and Kingsley moog-ified it; and so on. # 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: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 06:00:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Jane Fondle Subject: (exotica) Jerry Goldsmith on Morning Edition Hey!

Interested to read of recent list members' vinyl discoveries. I too have "Beatles go Bossa" (25p) and "Sounds of Sitar" (one whole English pound) with its' sitarrrrrrised version of "Eleanor Rigby" or some such. Mmmm. Nice. Or how about "How to pass your driving test" on UK Decca from about 1965 (also one pound) which is entirely spoken instructions on that very thing!! It's a hoot. The sleeve says the LP was to be the first in a series of useful everyday instructional releases. I'd love to know what were the others. "How To Go To The Corner Shop" perhaps? meanwhile someone said: "Ray McVay is generally crap but on this occasion, he excels himself with an amazing track (and a very dodgy photo on the back cover). The rest of the lp is pants of course." I absolutely agree - far too many "Ray Plays Ballroom Greats" LPs which your Aunt Dolly might have purchased in Woolies c.1972 (hm, my Aunt Dolly would have done it for nothing). But Ray did in the mid-60s record at least two KILLER Swingin London/Carnaby St music 45s for UK Pye, "Revenge" (yes the Kinks song) and "Kinda Kinky" both of which appear on that Sequel compo of a few yrs back, "The Easy Project". If you find these original records then snap them up, and furthermore, give them straight to me . groovily phil dilemma # 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: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 06:34:29 -0700 From: "Lou Smith" Subject: (exotica) [obits]Richard Anthony Marion,Gene Weed LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Richard Anthony Marion, who went from a role on TV's 1970s comedy ``Operation Petticoat'' to directing recent episodes of ``Everybody Loves Raymond,'' died July 19 from a heart attack. He was 50. Marion was a founding member of the San Francisco Bay Area's Magic Theater, which became known for its presentation of cutting-edge playwrights like Sam Shepard. Marion played Pharmacist's Mate Williams on the 1977-79 ABC-TV series ``Operation Petticoat,'' a comedy set on a submarine in World War II. He later directed episodes of the 1989-92 ABC comedy ``Anything but Love'' and the CBS show ``Everybody Loves Raymond.'' He died three days before ``Everybody Loves Raymond'' was nominated for a comedy series Emmy Award. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Gene Weed, a producer and director of television specials and awards shows for more than 25 years, died Thursday of cancer. Weed was 64. Weed's varied entertainment career included 15 years as a top radio disc jockey, host of the 1960s syndicated television show ``Shivaree,'' seven years as board chairman of The Academy of Country Music and a recent election as president of that organization. He was a pioneer in the field of what has become music videos, producing and directing more than 200 films of performances by artists including Glen Campbell, The Fifth Dimension, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Debby Boone. Weed joined dick clark productions inc. in the 1970s, and became its senior vice president for television. Beginning in 1974 he produced, directed or performed both roles for several annual television shows including the ``Golden Globe Awards'' and ``The Academy of Country Music Awards.'' He also was producer-director of the ``Hot Country Nights'' series on NBC 1991-92 and its revival in 1994-95 on The Nashville Network. Weed produced or directed dozens of television specials including the three-hour ``Live Aid'' concert on ABC, Live Aid III and IV, and a 90-minute special preceding the 1994 World Cup soccer tournament, viewed by an estimated 750 million people around the world. - ----- MailStart Plus - http://www.mailstartplus.com Consolidate Your Mailboxes Into an Organized, Filtered, Spell-Checked, Anywhere, Anytime WebBox # 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: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 06:57:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Jane Fondle Subject: (exotica) I DON'T WANNA LEAVE THE CONGO!

I said, "What are you talking about?" -- then it dawned on me he'd thought that was part of the arrangement. >> Great testimony. Had the animal and bird noises not lended themselves to the composure Denny would not have included them. I also know that Mr. Denny has commented that if he thought that for one moment that people would have thought of him as being silly or campy with the addition of the noises he would have never included them. Tiki Bob >>>Why do I find all-of-the-above particularly sad? I really do! To be honest, those koo-koo animal sounds are one of the things that got me interested in "exotica" to begin with, as goofy as that sounds, and I ain't afraid to sound goofy. I think it's a stroke of serendipitous brilliance! There are great "accidents" in art and in recording arts/film in particular. David Lynch left *in* a lot of the "mistakes" that make TWIN PEAKS first season so great, random and off-kilter(what IS a kilter?!?) And obviously those bird calls inspired the album I mention too much, EXOTIC PERCUSSION AND BRILLIANT BRASS. Screaming apes! Yes! It also obviously inspried a lot of that ranting primative rock and sleaze on the JUNGLE EXOTICA and LAS VEGAS GRIND comps. I should add that I am not all into gimmick, as I prefer most of the Les Baxter arrangements, to those that Denny used when doing Baxter's material, especially...gasp...QUIET VILLAGE!
