The court, without comment, let stand a federal appeals court ruling that Bolton must pay. His lawyers had asked the justices to consider whether a California court erred in sending the case to a jury in 1994. Bolton denied lifting his 1991 hit ``Love is a Wonderful Thing'' from a 1966 Isley Brothers release of the same name, and testified at trial that he had never heard of the earlier song. But the 1994 trial jury found that Bolton and a collaborator, Andrew Goldmark, had opportunity to hear the earlier song when it came out, and that the two songs shared five distinctive elements. Among the similarities the jury found were the title ``hook,'' or musical phrase, and a ``fade-out'' ending that repeats one phrase at ever-softer volume. The jury awarded Ronald and Marvin Isley 66 percent of all past and future royalties from the single and 28 percent of past and future royalties from Bolton's ``Time, Love and Tenderness'' album, which contained the song. Bolton's lawyer said it was the largest music infringement award involving a single song. Bolton's lawyer asked the high court to look at the threshold for taking a copyright case like this one to a jury. Bolton claimed that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California relied on an out-of-date case to approve a standard that was too lenient. The Isleys never established a reasonable likelihood that two white Connecticut teen-agers would have heard an obscure 45 rpm single by a black rhythm and blues group, Bolton claimed. The 1966 release never cracked the Top 100. But lawyers for the Isleys claimed that Bolton, then 13, and Goldmark, then 15, were avid fans of black music, and noted that Bolton played in a band that covered black R&B tunes of the day. Bolton went on to make a career of covering other black artists and writing and recording his own tunes. The Recording Industry Association of America also urged the high court to review the case, citing the implications for the $15 billion domestic music market. The case is Bolton v. Three Boys Music, 00-689. # 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, 22 Jan 2001 16:18:14 -0600 From: "Colleen Pyles" Subject: (exotica) Theremin Thanks to all who answered my question about theremins, there's some very neat websites out there. colleenintexas Colleen _____________________________________ Get your free E-mail at http://www.ireland.com # 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, 22 Jan 2001 19:58:50 -0500 From: cheryl Subject: Re: (exotica) Pascals Well, I received the Pascals disc today, so for those who might be interested, here's my take on it: It's only got two Comelade covers on it - but there are also covers of Mancini's "Moon River" (with Japanese lyrics!), Eno's "By The River" and Nino Rota's "Amarcord". Interesting versions - lots of toy instruments, and that music-saw that shows up on some of Comelade's recordings. Vocals (when there are any) are very much like Picky Picnic (okay, maybe there's someone else on the list besides me and Moritz who knows who they are?) - kind of kid-like Japanese vocals, but not in that irritating style that some groups have (although that's in the ear of the beholder, I guess). The rest of the CD is original material. Overall, it's a good CD if you like Comelade's style of music - if not, it's hard to say. I've still got to sit down and give it a good listening - I've only had time for a cursory listening so far, but I like what I've heard. Then again, when it comes to Comelade, I don't think he can do any wrong (unlike The Wire, which savaged his last two CDs...) cheryl # 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, 23 Jan 2001 02:49:37 +0100 (MET) From: Hemmel@gmx.net Subject: (exotica) =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ritual_Of_The_Savage/4_years_Atomic_Caf=E8,_Munich,_Party?= Party: 4 years Atomic Cafè, Neuturmstr. 5, Munich Tuesday, January 23 2001, 21.00 Space Escapade Special: Ritual Of The Savage, ceremonial enthronement of Tiki, the God of Arts culinary: King Flo polynesian dancing performance: Vivian Del Rio art: Moritz R djs: Kahuna Kawentzmann & the Lemon Squeezer Sound System (I am sorry if maybe Mo just post this info.

"It doesn't tell you to stay away", he reiterates. The very next thing they talk about are "jam sessions" and the music in the background gets very slow and "thoughtful". "Jazz" is just getting to bebop at this point with Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young. And I don't know what they're going to say about it. But I've heard it said before that the trouble with bebop - and "hard bop" and "post-bop" - is that it's for the musicians, not the audience. I don't agree but I can understand that point of view. I think that's the issue at the heart of the controversy here. I do think that the music I call jazz is a bit more intellectual than the "party music" that Jazz is more focussed on. That's not to say that it isn't wild and passionate and emotional. But avant garde jazz is something a listener has to push their way into, not something that "invites you in". This schism is not just about different ways of looking at jazz. It's bigger than that. This is a controversy that rages in all areas of life and art. I'm enjoying this episode but that could be because they're getting to musicians that I love (finally). If anyone is enjoying the more romantic "mythologizing-type" stories they're telling in Jazz, I want to recommend a great great book. It's kind of a non-fiction novel, if you know what I mean. It's called "But Beautiful" and it's by Geoff Dyer. Great book! They just called Basie's rhythm section "the greatest rhythm section in jazz history". It's that kind of declaration that makes this show sometimes annoying. But I'm enjoying it okay?

The nation's television screens have been aglow this month with the Ken Burns documentary series "Jazz," but on the Internet the hot links to=20 jazz information have been illuminating computer users for some time. ...Lacking the one element, unique performances, that would best distinguish them, the Web sites of most jazz musicians quickly fall into sameness. Their pages have a black background, edged in gold or blue, and tend to offer a biography, a discography and a tour schedule that is usually out of date. Still, the Internet serves as an invaluable information resource and a powerful marketing tool for jazz. Novices can explore the genre by listening to recorded clips. Aficionados can use message boards to swap recommendations. Musicians and record labels can notify fans of releases and sell directly to them. Online retailers, with their virtually unlimited shelf space, are a collector's delight. The Internet does work well as a sales channel for the music. Jazz accounts for 2 to 3 percent of the overall market, but its share at Amazon.com is twice that. Lois Gilbert, president of JazzCorner.com, a Web service for jazz musicians, said the Internet had leveled the playing field for jazz:= "Before, jazz was not accessible at all to people. They always thought you had to go downstairs in a dark room, wear a beret and have shades to hear the music." Now all it takes is a computer with a Web connection to enter that world, but the bandstand is empty. Or, as the drummer T. S. Monk noted, most jazz pages have no real content. "They have tremendous amounts of information," he said, "but they don't have things that people want.

I dig Jingles and ads and I can tell you that I have come up with precisely four albums over 20 years of off and on looking. An unmarked records of Rock and roll oriented ads. The Yardbirds for Great Shakes, a Paul Revere concert ad, etc. "Greatest Radio Commercials" on Nostalgia Lane, which has the first ad (for real estate, in New Jersey, I think) and the first jingle ("Won't you tryyyyyy Wheaties?/The Best breakfast food in the land!") "Radio Plays the Plaza", which I did find at a thrift. Jackie Vernon is on one cut. Another features one of the most sexist ads to hit radio in 1969 or anytime ("A fella should keep a cigar in his hand and his woman under his thumb!"). I have "The Going Thing" from Ford Motor Company, which features the most torturous version of "Bye, Bye Love" you will ever hear. I bought this at a record store in Colorado Springs, CO for 2 dollars on the same day that I found "Delerium in Hi-Fi" I have a couple of promo 45s for movies, "Corvette Summer" and "The People That Time Forgot" which boasts that it is, "All new! Never before seen!". I would love to have known about this scandal: "I've gone to FIVE different theaters and all of the movies have different titles, but they're the SAME MOVIE!" I have two CD's one from DeWolfe and one from Musicon advertising their production music. The DeWolfe was free, but they called me afterwards. Recently, I have been going to the '60s mp3 newsgroup and I have downloaded a string of Great Shakes ads, a Brylcreem ad from the Charlatans and also Radio London ads, which are lush with strings and happy people. Small sidenote: On another list, there was an argument about whether rock bands undercut their credibility by doing advertisements or is the music cheapened by being used by advertisers. I disagree (hey, the Stones did a Rice Krispies ad!), but there are certain tunes getting used too much now ("Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop, for one).

I must have missed basichip's reference to it. I put it at the end of an exotica-ring CD I made. Anyway I would say that the answer to your question about Rod is that he was hip and he was trying to cash in too. I love Rod. I think he was a good singer, a great writer and made some great records in a couple of different genres. The spoken-word records he made with Anita Kerr feature some lovely tunes and arrangements by Ms.Kerr and I think that even if you disliked the "poetry" that accompanies it, a lot of people could still enjoy those records. I don't much care for the songs he's most famous for like "Jean" but there's a lot more to him than that. He wrote about subjects that no one else was trying to address. He wrote about being alone. I can't think of another song like his song "A Single Man". Check out the album of the same name by Sinatra. This all-McKuen record is often considered to be Sinatra's "failure" but I'd assume people on this list would get interested for that very reason. I like Sinatra's "failures" more than his successes. Another great Sinatra record which I've just discovered is "Watertown". If anyone knows anything about the making of that record, I'd love to hear it. As far as Rod's hipness goes, a lot of people point to his spoken word record called something like "A beatnik in San Francisco" but there's more where that came from. If you try to be hip, you're going to fail. I'd say that Rod was genuinely hip but occasionally he tried a bit too hard and at those times, he wasn't that hip. But if you've just ignored him forever because of "Jean" and other similar things, you might give him a try.

Yeah, Alan - that's the song, also it's on Larry's "Take Your Clothes Off" = comp........ Thanks for your comments.

The weirdest one by him I ever found is his gay disco album "Slide Easy In......Disco" (Discus/Stanyan, 1977), the cover of which features a hand full of Crisco coming out of a can where the word has been switched to "Disco". Features an anti-Anti Bryant tune, "Don't Drink The Orange Juice", and the title track, which is a homosexual take on, say, Donna Summer's orgasmic squeels. Interesting. His instrumental suite "Something Beyond" (Liberty, 1967) has some top notch tracks in a rather exotic vein worth checking out. 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: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 16:28:50 +0100 From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: A Taste of India??

I thought his recapitulation of "Hypnotique" was fantastic and easily the best track on A Taste of India, if not the druggiest. Certainly one of the best tracks on the Ultra Lounge Exotica CD, too. But mostly the album is dreck, with walk-throughs, basically, of some of the obligatory pop hits of '67. - -Dan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com # 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, 23 Jan 2001 15:02:53 -0500 From: "Nathan Miner" Subject: (exotica) Michael Magne...... .....is this right?

I meant to post these to the list but...... time slipped away. The songs are the dreamy/moody side of Free Designs harmonizing, quite wonderful if you are a fan of the band. What I get a kick out of is the covers. One has 2 little aignsty teens on the cover with stocking caps on that say "Free Design" Siesta has marketed Free Design as a modern band before, mixing them in on their Espresso comp. The vinyl itself was white. Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
