On Saturday, May 6th, I'll be the featured performer at the Kingston Chapter of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild. The wonderful thing about playing at the folk guild is that I can do what ever I want. So, if you like what I do, or have never had the chance to hear me, please come out. I should be at my best - rehearsed even - - doing material that I feel a strong connection to. The Folk Guild meets at the Unitarian Fellowship on Sawkill Road in Kingston. Showtime is 8:00. I'll probably start my set around 9:00. Hope to see you there. I'll also be at the Woodstock Renaissance Fair 5/20 & 21 Also, we've been having a jam session in Kingston for the past 4-5 years. It's called the "Fiddle n' Folk Jam". Sometimes we actually have a fiddle with us. It is a small informal acoustic folk jam. Whoever show, we play what we want. It is very eclectic and could any one given day include American folk songs, old-tymey, irish, cajun, blues, beatles, pop, whatever. All acoustic instruments welcome. During the winter or when it rains, we meet at Abrahms Music on Wall Street. During the summer we meet outside on the lawn of the Senate House, a block away. It is always on Thursdays from 12-1 (lunchtime). Please come join us to play or to listen.

For those not familiar, it is a Kurt Vonegut book that was adapted for a movie by Nick Nolte and Bruce Willis. It uses 18 of Martin Denny's original tunes (though only 14 are included on the OST). It was spearheaded by Willis but Hollywood Pictures tabled the regular release of the film and has even limited it's direct to video release. Purportedly, the studio heads felt that the characters were not representative of how they like Nolte and Willis viewed. Not macho enough. And the story is a little bizarre too. Willis plays Dwayne Hoover, a successful car dealership owner, who is going thru a suicidal mid-life crisis. Nolte is his long time friend / yes-man / sales manager who cross dresses (though only at home) and is terrified that the news is going to get out. Albert Finney plays Kilgore Trout, an unrecognized and unappreciated (whether deserved or not is up to the viewer) who comes to town to give a speech at a low rate literary event. Eventually, Hoover thinks Trout will hold the answer to why he is having such an identify crisis. I enjoyed the movie, but again, I like Vonegut, almost entirely because of Slaughter House 5's character of the often alien abducted optometrist. Maybe that is why I can relate to Breakfast. Denny's tunes contribute nicely to the movie in the fact that there is a Hawaiian fixation thru out the movie. It is Hawaiian Week at the dealership, a vacation is to be given away. Nolte's character, whose last name is LeSabre (best line of the movie, Willis to Nolte: "You know I have always like you despite the fact that you are named after a Buick" --- see, Willis sells Cadillacs and Pontiacs) gets almost orgasmic when his wife whispers "Maui" in his ear during sex. Hoovers wife drinks umbrella-ed drinks and Trout has this reoccurring fantasy about going to a land of paradise. And on that note, Stranger In Paradise is snipped constantly throughout the movie. OK, so now I have some basic questions. Why did Denny's music get chosen for this movie? Does anybody know if Willis, Notle, etc. is a particular Denny fan? I mean ukulele music would have given more of that sappy, pseudo-paradise illusion that Hawaii holds. How about the original sound track? Any of you insiders have numbers and comments on the sale? It is basically cuts from the UL double CD on Denny with a couple of extra cuts (all of which were probably remastered for UL and thus just repackaged for the OST ---- can we all say "major profits"?). And, does anybody know anymore information on either the production of this film or why it was held from release?

It is exactly what is says on the cover, Hawaiian songs arranged in a swing style Fairly mixed, but far and away the best version of Bali Hai I've heard. Its on Phase 4 and has an excellent insert explaining the phase 4 recording process (in colour) with nice pictures of an early 60's 20 Channel mixing desk. Peter, I'll try and scan it for you if you want it for your Phase 4 page. I also picked up a completely knackered Sandpipers LP from 71. Quite poor, lousy song selection (apart from an OK version of 'its too late baby') I can't even remember the title.

And, does anybody know anymore information on either the production of this film or why it was held from release? "Breakfast of Champions" was such a bad movie that it ALMOST went directly to video. It did however play a few of the major metropolitan areas but when it did it was pulled after a week! (I remember being one of five in an early eveing performace at a theatre across from Bloomingdales in NYC which usually has quite a full house). The reason for the limited run is not because of the "unmanly portrayal" of Willis and Nolte. In fact Willis is actually a producer of the film, putting quite a bit of money up for it (another bad investment after Planet Hollywood??). Denny's music was chosen for the film because Willis and the director (Alan Rudolph) are fans of Denny's music (this is the answer directly from Martin Denny in a conversation we had a few months back). The reason why it was held for release is this: Whenever an "indie" film (i.e. not a lot of money behind it) or film whose commercial potential is somewhat dubious, it is given "platform release" This means it is shown in major metropolitan areas and based on critical reception and audience reaction it is then platformed out (i.e. more prints are struck and a few more cities are added to those showing the film and if it continues to do well more cities are added, etc.). Unfortunately as this film was a major critical and audience disaster (Alan Rudolph has done some really engaging films but this is the worst one he has ever directed) the film became desitined to collect dust on video rental store racks.

I've found an interesting phenomenon about Thievery Corp in particular and the 18th St Lounge releases in general : whenever I play them (and I play this stuff a lot at both of my weekly DJ gigs), someone always rushes up to ask who it is. And it's not just the usual trainspotting crowd that does this, as their appeal crosses generations and gender. They have an instantly identifiable sound, which is something you don't get a lot of in todays electronic music world. Plus they always have superb graphics which, though not essential to the music, coalesce nicely with their image of being former CIA operartives. Record stores and nightclubs tend to categorize this stuff as 'downtempo' or 'lounge'. Previous labels for this type of music were 'trip hop' and 'headz'. I'd like to second Rod's opinions regarding the Quango label; I'd like to highly recommend the 3 volume compliation series "Om Lounge", on Om Records out of San Francisco.They cover the large variety of sounds that comprise the new lounge styles, from dub oriented tracks to jazz styled drum 'n bass. Volume 3 has a track dedicated to Martin Denny (which has some hints of exotica), and a gorgeous version of the EZ standard "Tenderly" by the group Soulstice. http://www.om-records.com br cleve # 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, 17 Apr 2000 10:38:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) bye No quote. My passion reserves the right to come from way out of left field. Kidding. Altough the mercury in my fillings inclines me to let this one ride, I confess that I was only riffing on a fellow lister's past and amusing yank-baiting and super-imposing it on this current epidemic of adieux. This latest, despite its text, is, I suppose, a reaction to the colorful recurrence of a certain unchecked stridency on the list. Though I referred more to pointy little heads than cars - myself a god-fearing, non-flag burning, mitsubishi driving, non-emotive bourgeois 'merican (is that a redundancy?)- all tongue in cheek, of course. - --- Rcbrooksod@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 04/17/00 10:13:31 AM Eastern > Daylight Time, > sophisticatedsavage@yahoo.com writes: > > << Americans! > > No wonder you have so many traffic deaths each year > - > driving around with your pointed little heads up > your > asses! > > Benoit >> > > what quote was that in regard to? > > and btw, it is our expensive luxury, sports and > sport utility cars to which > you refer! > > tb > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm not sure if this is the same song that you are thinking of, but Coil did record a number called "Ostia (The Death of Pasolini)" which is contained on their "Horse Rotovator" lp.
