Surely the serious actress of THE CONVERSATION and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND and the adorable comedienne of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and TOOTSIE (to say nothing of AFTER HOURS) deserved better than being remembered for MR. MOM and a spectacularly embarrassing Academy Awards song performance a few years back. Well, it's Terry Z. to Teri G,'s rescue, as Ms. Garr becomes the latest actress to join the GHOST WORLD cast, playing Enid's stepmother Maxine. Let's hope her appearance here gives her a Travolta- like resurgence! Meanwhile, Crispin Glover's father, Bruce Glover, has signed on for the role of the trivia-loving, Little Rascal-riding Feldman. (It's a Small World Dept.: Crispin wrote the introduction to Clowes's PUSSEY!) On May 12, The Sundance Channel's "In Production" will be airing a preview of the GHOST WORLD film. The Sundance crew visited the set last week, interviewing Clowes and Zwigoff and shooting lots of behind-the- scenes footage. Check your newspaper's local listings for times and channel information. Meanwhile, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, and SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE all visited the GHOST WORLD set recently for upcoming features about the movie. Surprisingly, SEVENTEEN was only interested in speaking with the film's young stars, THORA BIRCH and BRAD RENFRO. "I don't get it," quipped fiftysomething director Terry Zwigoff. "I love 17-year-old girls. Why don't they want to interview me?" While no word yet as to when the AH and SEVENTEEN features will run, the ET report is scheduled to air sometime in the next two weeks, so keep your eyes peeled. Speaking of set visiting, your intrepid friends at Fantagraphics visited Clowes & Zwigoff prior to embarking on The "Making Waves" CBLDF fundraising cruise earlier this month (details on which to follow as soon as the ground stops rocking). The crew was filming scenes set in Josh's apartment, taking over a dilapidated fourplex in Los Angeles' Jefferson Park district, including the all-important first love scene between Josh and Enid (Renfro and Birch). We also saw raw footage of much of everything else that had been filmed to date. What can we tell you? Not much, due to those protective Hollywood types, but we were thrilled and elated to see Clowes's vision so faithfully captured on screen. Take it from us -- the defiantly cynical, the proudly pessimistic -- that this is gonna be one helluva movie Steve Buscemi and Birch, in particular, are delivering exemplary performances; the strained romance between Seymour and Enid makes AMERICAN BEAUTY look like AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER. Check out the Fantagraphics website for exclusive, soon-to-be uploaded snapshots of most of the cast, taken on location. IRONY ISN'T DEAD - ---------------- Many of you, being the erudite, tasteful art lovers that you are, probably missed Monday night's ABC TV movie, "Trapped in a Purple Haze," about a young man who succumbs to the evils of heroin addiction (apparently no one at ABC realized that "Purple Haze" is a euphemism for LSD, although we hear "Smack Down" was already taken). If so, you missed a quality scene in which the budding junkie and his budding junkie pal rob a comic store (hey, nobody said that they were budding master criminals). One of the comics shown being stolen was an issue of HATE. - ------------------------------------------ If you would like to SUBSCRIBE from the Fantagraphics eList, simply visit http://www.fantagraphics.com enter your email address, select the Subscribe option and click Submit. # 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, 25 Apr 2000 20:05:58 -0700 From: "Otto" Subject: (exotica) removal of tiki as improper Saturday, April 22, 2000 Search ACLU sees removal of tiki as improper By James Gonser Advertiser Leeward Bureau The Hawaii office of the American Civil Liberties Union is calling improper the removal last week of a 10-foot-tall tiki of the Hawaiian figure Kanaloa from in front of Waianae High School. The civil rights group wants to participate in community discussions to reconsider the removal. Hazel Sumile, superintendent of the Leeward Oahu school district, had the sculpture taken down after a Leeward pastor called her and complained that it was a religious symbol and shouldn=B9t be erected at a public school. It was carved by students in a high school art class and put up in February. Jeff Yamashita, pastor of the Waianae Assembly of God, said yesterday that he had called Sumile and Waianae High principal JoAnn Kumasaka about the tiki, but never asked that it be removed. He said he only wanted to discuss the matter. Yamashita said he and members of his congregation objected to the tiki because it represents a Hawaiian god. He said it would not be a problem if the tiki were only temporary, because it could be considered an educational tool. But having it mounted in concrete in front of the school for all to see is not fair to other religious groups, he said. =B3If they do that, then all religions have the right to put up symbols if they wanted,=B2 he said. =B3I= f the Christian Club said it wanted to put up a cross, how could the school refuse? =B3A lot of our parents have kids going to school there. I knew Mrs. Sumile, so I called her. I didn=B9t want to cause big problems. I wanted to g= o through the school, not the media.=B2 The ACLU=B9s executive director, Vannessa Chong, said the tiki represents a real man and was an art project put up as part of a campus beautification project, so it should not have been removed. The civil rights group says a school=B9s actions violate the First Amendment only if they have a religious intent, a primarily religious effect, or create excessive entanglement between church and state. =B3The ACLU believes the (state Department of Education) was off base in removing the tiki,=B2 Chong said. Most people view the tiki as a cultural, instead of religious, icon, she said, adding, =B3On the other hand, a cross is clearly a religious symbol to nearly all people.= =B2 Department of Education spokesman Greg Knudsen said it was prudent to remov= e the tiki because some people considered it to be an religious object. Peopl= e other than Yamashita called to complain, he said. =B3We are still open to the possibility of relocating it as a display of a work of art,=B2 Knudsen said. =B3Even if it wasn=B9t intended to be seen as a religious object, it is by some people.=B2 The tiki has been stored inside the school for the past week. Yamashita said a private meeting will be held at the school Monday to discuss the tiki, and he is optimistic the parties can reach an understanding. The ACLU has not been invited, Chong said. =B3It took a protracted lawsuit to force the removal of a cross at Camp Smith (in 1997), despite the fact that it offended large portions of the non-Christian population in Hawaii,=B2 Chong said. =B3Here, the state immediately removed the tiki based upon complaints of a few Christians. Not only does this show a bias in favor of Christian religion, it shows a complete lack of sensitivity to Native Hawaiian culture.=B2 =A9 COPYRIGHT 2000 The Honolulu Advertiser, a division of Gannett Co.

Lo Bue" Subject: (exotica) Scanning LP's 101 I just sent this to ck, and thought some of you might want to read it as well...if you already have your method down for scanning, or don't own a scanner, please ignore! Hope this helps someone. This is my own way of scanning record sleeves, and it makes for an excellent quality scan. With some good packing tape, affix something straight and raised (I use a folded piece of heavy card stock) just above and just below the scanning bed (hold an lp up to the glass to see where to affix it). This will act as an alignment guide, so you can slide the record horizontally across the bed and keep the alignment of the sleeve consistent. Make sure the bar is absolutely lined up perfectly with the edge of the glass. Put the lp on the bed against the lower guide, and off to one side so in effect 1 corner of the record is in good scanning position on the glass. In my scanning software, I select 150 dpi at 50%, choose the entire surface of the scanning area, and scan. I also use a medium to high descreening filter (med. is for magazine quality images, high is for really tight printed images, 'art-print' quality. Some of the early covers were actually silk-screened color, and on those I use no filtering at all. Once I've got that first image, let's say it's the upper LEFT corner of the record visible, with a good portion of the cover scanned, I will go under IMAGE>CANVAS SIZE and increase it by almost half in each dimension, then click the upper left square, to make the image you scanned stay in the upper left corner when the canvas gets bigger. Leave that document open (you may even save it at this point, in case there's a freeze), slide the record along the lower guide until the upper RIGHT corner is well onto the scanner bed, and repeat the scan. But this time, instead of increasing the canvas size, go to the marquis tool (top left tool on the bar), double-click on it and in the 'options' field that pops up, enter "2" in the 'FEATHER' box. Then drag a marquis around MOST of this second image, being careful not to get too close to the edges of the window (for a clean feathering). Copy (EDIT>COPY), then click on the first scan and paste (EDIT>PASTE) the second image in there. Using the Move tool (to the right of the marquis tool), you can then move that image around to align it with the first, as it will be on a separate layer. Keep in mind that even on a good scanner (I've got an excellent UMAX S-12) the light will vary depending on what area of the glass the image is on, so you may need to very slightly lighten or darken the image to match up (IMAGE>ADJUST>BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST). Now open the scanner again and move the lp straight up til the top edge of the record hits the guide you put on the top edge of the glass. Now the bottom RIGHT corner will be visible on the glass, and you can scan that corner, then the last one. Each time, just marquis the corners, not too far into the cover image. This will ensure that you're keeping the first two images you scanned as the 'bulk' of the image. After you've adjusted each segment brightness-wise so they disappear into one another, flatten the image (in the layers palette, choose 'flatten layers'). Then choose the marquis tool, enter "0" in the feather box, and drag your marquis around the edge of the lp scan. I like to crop as close to the edges without seeing any white...I think that picking up hints of sleeve wear is central to the visual of the record image. Last step: once you've cropped to the edge, you should go into IMAGE>IMAGE SIZE, and in the top two boxes change 'pixels' to 'percent.' THEN, go down to the PRINT SIZE options in that window and (with the 'constrain proportions' box UNCHECKED) enter 4.75 in each box with INCHES selected as the option. Hit OK. DONE! The file will be 1.46 MB. I usually do the same with the back cover as well (for the tray card), and I scan the record label at 120% for the CD itself. Voila! PS: If you're doing the scan for a REAL printing job, i.e., not just an ink-jet printer, do the same thing, but at 300 dpi, and leave the whole thing large, like 7" x 7". But be warned--at this resolution, it's a fat file, something like 10 MB.

I found the following in reference to that: LEGEND: In the 1950s ASL traveled to Nice, France, where he recorded an album of organ music under the pseudonym of "Georges Montalba". REALITY: ASL's first and only trip to France was in the mid-1970s, when his Dutch disciple Maarten Lamers, Amsterdam sex club owner, financed his voyage. The "ASL=Montalba" story appeared in 1989, when a gullible Church of Satan member found a Montalba album and suggested that it was similar to ASL's own music. ASL, never pleased by competition, responded with the preposterous "pseudonym" claim - which is still ardently supported by his posthumous followers. SOURCES: Diane LaVey, Zeena LaVey. http://www.houseofsatan.com/tswc/legend.html I once considered adding a bio page on LaVey to the Space Age Pop Music page, but who has the time to sift through fact and fiction on this guy?

DJ Vinny and Sir Richard have been kind enough to invite me to guest DJ in their company at Pandora's Box, this Sunday April 30th. I've put more work into my set than I've ever done for my radio show so hopefully my lack of experience in the arena of spinning for the dancefloor will not be obvious. Expect '60s Now Sound, sitars, Europop, groovy soundtracks, and even some stuff in a "jazz style" (the records have no documentation as to whether or not the musicians improvised so I figured better safe than sorry). For more info on Pandora's Box (like directions) check their site: http://www.project3.com/pandora.htm Hope to see some of you there!

I have an lp called something like "Lulu sings To Sir with Love and Other Now Hits." Just got around to playing it the other night and it actually is alright (Of course I feel that way about fundamentalist hamsters and Cleft-palate spoken word records). One of the songs is a jaunty number with "love" in the title about 5 times, lots of brass, conga and double picked fuzz guitar. I think she was English - production credits go to John Paul Jones and Mickey Most (didn't he work with the post-Kidd Pirates?). BW __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have an lp called something like "Lulu sings To Sir with Love >> Sure - that's her smash number one hit from 1967. Stayed number one for a few weeks. She makes her screen debut (17 years old) and sings the song in the Sidney Poitier movie - if you haven't seen it, you should - it's a classic. Original sountrack (British composer Ron Granier) is out now on CD I think. Long overdue. In the movie, she is more skanky than slinky. The cutie in the film is Pamela Dare (Judy Geeson) who pops up every now and then as the neighbor in the show "Mad About You". The Mindbenders are also in there with a couple of numbers. Remember them? "Game of Love" (1965) and "A Groovy Kind Of Love" (1966) # 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, 26 Apr 2000 07:22:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) Lulu With Mr Wayne Fontana, oh yeahhhhhhh - --- BasicHip@aol.com wrote: > The Mindbenders are also in there with a couple of > numbers.

'Love loves to love love' and 'The Man who sold the World' are the two tracks to look for. She also does not too bad a cover of 'Feeling Alright' as well... She is very famous in the UK, although finding actual albums of hers can be quite tricky. Cheapo compilations on labels like MFP are very common though... but always trashed for some reason. Oh, and she's just released her latest single, done in the Madonna+William Orbit vein... # 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, 26 Apr 2000 10:50:58 -0400 (EDT) From: Bruce Lenkei Subject: (exotica) Hugo Montenegro Anyone have an opinion about Hugo Montenegro's Great Songs from Motion Pictures on the Time label?
