(AP) -- Harvey R. Ball, inventor of the Smiley Face, died Thursday after a short illness. He was 79. Ball, who co-owned an advertising and public relations firm in Worcester, designed the Smiley Face in 1963 to boost the morale of workers in two recently merged insurance companies. Ball was paid $45 for his artwork by State Mutual Life Assurance Cos. of America -- now Allamerica -- in 1963. He never applied for a trademark or copyright. At its peak of popularity in 1971, more than 50 million Smiley Face buttons were sold. In 1999, the U.S. Postal Service issued a Smiley Face stamp. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/14/obituaries/14BALL.html - ------- Richard Evans Schultes, a swashbuckling scientist and influential Harvard University educator who was widely considered the preeminent authority on hallucinogenic and medicinal plants, died on Tuesday, April 10, 2001, in Boston. He was 86 and lived in Waltham, a Boston suburb. Dr. Schultes (pronounced SHULL- tees) was often called the father of ethnobotany, the field that studies the relationship between native cultures and their use of plants. Over decades of research, mainly in Colombia's Amazon region, he documented the use of more than 2,000 medicinal plants among Indians of a dozen tribes, many of whom had never seen a white man before. "I do not believe in hostile Indians," Dr. Schultes was quoted as saying in a 1992 article about him in The New Yorker by E. J. Kahn Jr. "All that is required to bring out their gentlemanliness is reciprocal gentlemanliness." - -------- Robert Moon, the man who came up with the zip code number system in 1963, has died after a lengthy illness. He was 83. Moon, whose exact date of death was not given, was known as "Mister Zip" after his invention. He'd begun his postal career in the 1940s and began work on the system he termed "Zoning Improvement Plan". He retired in 1965, but went to Washington in 1970 for a seven-year stint as director of delivery services for the U.S Postal Service. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/14/obituaries/14MOON.html - -------- Sully Boyar, a character actor who worked in films, on television and in theater, died on March 23 while waiting for a bus in Whitestone, Queens, where he lived. He was 77. Reared as one of seven children in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, Mr. Boyar was an established lawyer when he started thinking about giving it all up and enrolling in acting classes. He eventually became a member of the Actors Studio. His career progressed from small parts in summer stock productions to Off Broadway, often in experimental works at places like Judson Poets Theater. Soon, movie parts began to come his way. He appeared in more than a score of films, including "The Panic in Needle Park," "Last of the Red Hot Lovers," "The King of Marvin Gardens," "Dog Day Afternoon," "Car Wash," "Fort Apache, the Bronx" and "Prizzi's Honor." He appeared on Broadway in the 1977 revival of David Rabe's "Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel," which starred Al Pacino. His television credits included roles in "Barney Miller," "Kojak," "Charlie's Angels," "Law and Order" and, most recently, "The Sopranos." - --------- Joey Ramone, lead singer of seminal punk act the Ramones, has died from lymphoma. Ramone, born Jeffrey Hyman, formed the punk rock band in his hometown of Queens, New York, in 1974, along with John Cummings (Johnny Ramone) and Douglas Colvin (Dee Dee Ramone). The group's boiled-down, sped-up pop-rock style reinvigorated the rock scene and influenced the sound of punk acts such as the Sex Pistols and the Buzzcocks. The band was one of the first punk acts to sign a record contract, in 1975. Though the band's most well-known songs - including "Rock and Roll High School," "I Wanna Be Sedated," and "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" - were recorded in the 1970s and early '80s, the act continued, with several lineup shuffles, until 1995's Adios Amigos. Joey Ramone, lead singer of legendary punk band the Ramones, passed away at 2:40 p.m. Sunday at the age of 49. The towering front man, born Jeffrey Hyman, did not respond to treatment for lymphatic cancer, a disease that attacks the body's ability to fight= infection. Along with his cohorts Johnny, Tommy and Dee Dee =97 all of whom adopted Ramone as a surname =97 Joey was credited with helping found the modern punk movement. In mixing the griminess of the New York streets with a love of bubblegum pop, '60s girl groups and the Stooges, the Ramones inspired everyone from the Sex Pistols and the Clash to Green Day and Blink-182 to stake their turf on four dirty chords and an (often) inane hook. With his trademark rose-colored shades, black leather jacket, shoulder-length hair, ripped jeans and alternately snarling and crooning, hiccoughing vocals, Joey was the iconic godfather of punk. He gave voice to some of the most revered songs in the punk canon: "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment," "Rock 'n' Roll High School," "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker." His profile was indelible. The image of Joey's body, left foot forward, right foot back, left hand strangling the microphone, fist pumping in the air as he shouted one of the band's unofficial mantras, "Gabba Gabba Hey!," is forever imprinted in the minds of any fan who attended one of the band's 2,263 shows. Born in the Forest Hills section of Queens, New York, on May 19, 1952, Joey founded the Ramones in 1974 with Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy. Originally the drummer, Joey switched to vocals two months after the band played it first show in March 1974 at New York's Performance Studio.=20 The group soon became a staple at the dingy New York punk club CBGB, home to fellow downtown bands Talking Heads, Patti Smith and Blondie. In 1975 the Ramones became the first punk band to sign a record contract. Their self-titled debut, recorded for $6,000, was released in 1976 and featured such rock landmarks as "Judy Is a Punk," "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" and "Beat on the Brat."=20 Destroying the '70s prog-rock idea that rock had to be played by learned musicians in full command of their instruments, the Ramones pioneered the do-it-yourself ideal that inspired thousands of punk bands with lots of energy but dicey chops to pick up instruments and rock. Their 1977 album Ramones Leave Home featured a quintessential mix of gutter-punk anthems and homages to classic pop songs ("I Remember You," "Oh Oh I Love Her So"). It also featured the unofficial Ramones anthem "Pinhead," in which Joey sang, "I don't want to be a Pinhead no more/ I just found a nurse that I could go for." The Ramones not only prodded bands such as the Sex Pistols, the Clash and X-Ray Spex to take up their instruments and take on the world, but they also laid the path for the next generation of new wave and punk bands to rock maximally with minimal flourish.=20 Inspired by the Ramones' wide-open subject matter =97 which ranged from sniffing glue to male prostitution to lobotomies =97 as well as by the= music, '80s bands such as Husker Du, the Replacements and Devo further exploded the notion of how rock could sound. The Ramones released what is arguably their best album, Rocket to Russia, in 1977. Featuring such concert staples as "Cretin Hop," "Rockaway Beach" and "We're a Happy Family," the album not only summed up the glum outlook of the punk generation, it was a shrill counterpoint to the disco music that was sweeping the nation in the wake of "Saturday Night Fever." After trying their hands at the movies, starring in 1979's "Rock 'n' Roll High School," the group entered the studio with one of their idols, '60s' "wall of sound" producer Phil Spector. The resulting 1980 album, End of the Century, included a cover of "Baby I Love You" by the Ronettes, who were fronted by one of Joey's favorite singers, Ronnie Spector (Phil's ex-wife). The group followed with 10 more studio albums of speedy, anti-social punk and a relentless touring schedule, and enjoyed Beatlemania-style fame in Argentina and Japan. Although the band rarely cracked the album charts and achieved marginal album sales during a 22-year career, its influence continues to this day. With most of his contemporaries faded, dead or inactive, Joey became the embodiment of first-wave punk, with a shy, soft-spoken manner that belied his band's twisted songs about social misfits too bored, disconnected or disaffected to play by the rules. Joey may have shared a last name with his bandmates, but familial love couldn't keep them from their constant bickering, leading to the Ramones' dissolution in 1996. After the group played its final show on August 9, 1996 =97 such fans as Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell jammed with the Ramones that night =97 Joey continued to carry the torch for the music he loved. In addition to producing an EP and an album by horror-ska rockers the Independents =97 whom he tirelessly championed and managed for much of the late '90s =97 Joey co-produced a 1999 EP by his idol Ronnie Spector. The EP featured one of Joey's most poignant tunes, "She Talks to Rainbows," a ballad he wrote for the Ramones' 1995 studio swan song, Adios Amigos!. It was about a girl Joey would often see in his neighborhood, who he said looked like she was in her own world. "She's a little lost girl in her own little world/ She looks so happy, but seems so sad/ Oh yeah/ I'd like to help her/ I'd like to try/ Oh yeah," Spector sang in her trademark yearning voice on the EP.=20 In addition to trying to help resurrect the career of his hero Spector, Joey was working on his debut solo album over the past three years.=20 Collaborating with long-time Ramones producer Daniel Rey, Ramone had written nearly 20 new tunes that he planned to record with a band that included Andy Shernoff of the punk group the Dictators, Cracker drummer Frank Funaro and Rey on guitar. Joey kept a low profile over the past few years, jumping onstage to belt out occasional Ramones songs at birthday parties in his honor thrown by his punk-rocker friends in New York. In February 2000, he buried the hatchet with former Ramones drummer Marky Ramone, recruiting Marky to play on a handful of his solo songs. =97Gil Kaufman # 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, 16 Apr 2001 07:01:38 -0500 From: Brad Bigelow Subject: (exotica) "Swing and Sway in Hawaii" I give this LP two thumbs up, although every Sammy Kaye album does have a few "syruppy saxes" cuts amongst the great "shuffle rock" numbers.

Recent finds. I have not done this in some while but these might be worth a mention: Cal Tjader: Several Shades of Jade. Great jazz, exotica style - Tjader's Latin sounds with middle eastern flourishes. Most of the compositions are Lalo Schifrin's. He conducted and played piano on the lp. Great record, probably my favorite of CT's Verve stuff. Jack Marshall: The Marshall Swings. Great music and great cover. Marshall, in his cap, is on the scaffold with a rope around his neck and an abundantly healthy yet starkly clad young lady sheriff is about to pull the lever. All the songs have wild west/wagon trail titles, but as the jacket notes say, roughly: they demonstrate closest this marshall ever got to the wide open planes was speeding past them in his car. Harpsichord, bongos, Mr Marshall on guitar... fun stuff indeed. Ferrante & Teicher: Sound Proof. Wow. Esquivel: Four Corners. Not as full blown as his orchestral lps, but very nice nonetheless. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

The only way you can sound like a proper funk band now is by recording on early 70s equipment in an early 70s studio and making records with an early 70s engineer. I've always found their records lack something compared to the real thing. The classic track is the Theme From Starsky and Hutch - originally by Tom Scott - which is much better by JTQ.

Does > anybody have any other recommendations for further similar listening? That would be a little difficult, since "Simple Headphone Mind" is a collaboration with Nurse With Wound and thus sounds quite different from their other records (except "Crumb Duck," which is also a NWW collaboration). Maybe mid-period Stereolab (circa "Mars Audiac Quintet") or NWW's "Rock 'n' Roll Station" (which utilizes some of the same sound/rhythm elements from "Simple Headphone Mind") would do the trick. Bear in mind, though, that NWW's output is widely varied in terms of sound (surrealist collage, drone, exotica mishmash, death ambient, industrial, etc.). So is Stereolab, branching out to jazz and funk, but they still employ the same basic Can-like rhythm all throughout. =) Later, Ben np: kings of convenience, "quiet is the new loud" http://members.tripod.com/~tamad2/ ICQ: 12832406 # 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, 16 Apr 2001 19:24:26 EDT From: Tipsydave@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Kriminalfilmmusik vol 1-4 In a message dated 4/14/01 7:16:55 AM, brian@phyres.lan.mcgill.ca writes: << > . ...I know some of these (Wallace) films are on video but I've never come across anything in NTSC format or even subtitled for that matter.>>> There's a bunch of them available from Something Weird and Sinister Cinema... a really cool one I just saw is called Hand of Power (Im Banne des Unheimlichen/Spell of the Sinister One), with a Peter Thomas score featured on Futuremusic (with a hot nightclub singer) and a scene where two characters take time out to drink a couple zombies out of shrunken-head glasses... ultra entertaining!!! - -dave # 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, 17 Apr 2001 23:42:25 -0400 From: clayton black Subject: Re: (exotica) More Hammond Groovers / Caravan Billy Vaughn > I don't know much of his stuff, but he made that fantastic DANCEABLE version > of CARAVAN that is on the Exotic Trilogy Vol 1 > > Anybody know where this came from ? an album? a comp? a single??

I don't think this one's ever been issued on LP or CD, except as a private pressing that's been floating around for the last few years (backed with another, unrelated movie score, if I'm remembering this right). Anybody got a copy?

And did a half-satisfactory/half-forced job of sequeing into a set of straight-up organ soul jazz with a selection from Paul Gonsalves' excellent "Cleopatra Feelin' Jazzy" LP. Which features some exquisite, slinky organ courtesy of Dick Hyman.

I've posted a scan of them, so if any of you 78 folks can tell me anything about these labels, or their approximate year, or if anyone knows Greek and can translate the song titles for me, I and my playlists would much obliged. http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/dialatedpupils/Greek78s.htm thanks!

Apparently Michael Tsao's plans to market Kahiki brand frozen entrees nationwide lifted off, with lines of frozen entrees carried in the States by Sam's Club and Costco as well as some regional chains. Details at http://www.kahiki.com/news.cfm. A photo of the restaurant adorns the packaging as does the logo from the sign. Those of you who partook of the farewell party can reminisce with a few more photos from the restaurant http://www.kahiki.com/aloha.cfm. Damn, I never realized how many awards the place won. Prowl through the site--there's good info here, including a bittersweet shot of the four-ton tiki hoisted by crane for storage. "The management of Kahiki Foods plans to open a larger, grander Kahiki restaurant in downtown Columbus by the end of 2002. All of the Polynesian artifacts are stored in a special warehouse and will be used again in the new Kahiki." Yippee, the Kahiki will rise again!

Speaking of Greek music, I picked up a couple of 45's. One has a wild = "psychedelic" cover with a submarine on it and that endearingly aged = "balloon lettering" type font.
