Trading, downloading, copying, the music just keeps coming. Yesterday I added a homemade Naomi Hall comp (downloaded from mp3.com). Today it's the Ralph Records 10th Anniversary Radio Special (released by the Residents' label in 1982 as a limited edition) that I traded with someone. Anyone else see their collection of shiny little discs growing before their eyes?

Here's the latest press release from Dana at C&S Music. Lou =================================================== From: Coolstrge@aol.com Have a great Holiday Season! - - Dana C&Sm Mag ISSUE NUMBER 23 OF COOL AND STRANGE MUSIC MAGAZINE IS HERE! Loaded with new, informative articles on the coolest and strangest music you never thought you'd hear about, this issue features a 4-color cover, lots of high-quality photos, tons of new wacky and weird CD reviews, and it's more fun than teaching your parrot to sing "Springtime in the Rockies!" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This issue features: MEL BLANC Our cover feature is a man mostly recognized as the voice of Bugs Bunny, in addition to a long list of cartoon characters that includes Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, the Tasmanian Devil, Woody Woodpecker, and Barney Rubble. Besides his ubiquitous voice work for animation, Mel Blanc recorded a number of novelty and children's records throughout his lengthy career. He also collaborated with such Cool & Strange luminaries as Billy May, Spike Jones, and Mickey Katz. Walt Mitchell treats us to an illuminating interview he did with Mr. Blanc in 1978, discussing everything from Mel's early days in radio and the dawn of children's records to the various rare promotional recordings and adult releases. It's a fascinating talk with the Man of 1000 Voices! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAD MAGAZINE RECORDS While MAD Magazine is infamous for plumbing the depths of humor on the printed page, "the usual gang of idiots" were known to occasionally project their wild satire onto record as well. From the late 1950s through the early '80s, a variety of wacky releases brought Alfred E. Neuman to your stereo. Although there were a few full-length LPs, the bulk of the MAD sounds came in the form of cardboard and flexi-disc singles which were included as promotional supplements to the magazine's annual anthologies and quarterly Super Specials. Gary Weinraub explores the history of these collectable novelties, and even takes us behind the scenes for one of the last recording sessions, "The MAD Laugh Record," in 1981! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOTLEG ALBUMS For over three decades, bootleggers have been offering up rare and unreleased audio treats to eager music fans. Ranging from creatively packaged collections of live concert recordings, demos, and studio outtakes to unauthorized CD editions of out-of-print vinyl LPs, these illegal curiosities have become an intriguing genre of their own. Delve into the colorful history of black market releases with Robert Koenig, as he examines not only the intriguing variety of material, but the strange and beautiful cover art that often accompanies them as well. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The LANGLEY SCHOOLS MUSIC PROJECT Between 1976 and '77, Langley Schools Music Director Hans Fenger took a radical new approach to teaching his students. Rather than utilize traditional children's music, which is often simplistic and con-descending, he chose to introduce them to more complex material from contemporary acts like the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Eagles, and David Bowie. The children's unique performances were recorded by Fenger, who then had souvenir LPs pressed to give to each participant. Several years later, these recordings have found their way onto CD and listeners are discovering the strange appeal of the odd arrangements, massed vocals, and colliding percussion. Learn the story behind one of the most engaging releases this year, as Jeff Winner profiles this lost chapter of outsider music history. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GARY OWENS Best known as the hand-over-the-ear announcer on TV's Laugh In, Gary Owens has supplied manly voices for a variety of animated heroes such as Space Ghost, Roger Ramjet, and Ren & Stimpy's Powdered Toast Man. He boasts an impressive resume of work in movies, cartoons, video games, and commercials. C&SM columnist Ed Kaz chats with the veteran voice man, and finds out why he's called 'The Rolls Royce of Voice.' - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JACKIE GLEASON Classic television lovers will always remember him as Ralph Kramden, the portly busdriver on The Honeymooners. But, Cool & Strange readers should know Jackie Gleason for conducting his lush, romantic compositions and arrangements during the 1950s and '60 on albums like "Music for Lovers Only," "Music to Make You Misty," and "Music to Change Her Mind." He inspired a wave of mood music albums for every occasion, and collaborated with the likes of Bobby Hackett, Charlie Ventura, Billy May, and even Salvador Dali. Giancarlo Davis takes us back to the Great One's heyday for a look at the funnyman's musical leanings - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Modern Artist Profile: ANGELA FAYE TILLETT As the bubbly British voice behind the groups Lollipop Train and Death By Chocolate, Angela Faye Tillett has proceeded to carve out a unique realm of colorful fantasy pop. Her enchanted world is a parade of childlike imagery, bubblegum singalongs, and giddy psychedelia, like the Yellow Submarine on a detour through Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Join Mr. Otis Fodder as he peeks through the candy-colored clouds to find out how her garden grows. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RAY CONNIFF Anyone who's ever combed through a thrift store record bin has encountered at least a handful of albums bearing this man's name. Often dismissed as bland, easy listening pap, his vast catalog of releases is usually noted mainly for the album covers, which were invariably graced with photos of beautiful women. Conniff was a skilled arranger, though, and he perfected a formula that ensured a consistent sound and continued success. He absorbed a wide variety of material into his repertoire, from classical favorites and movie themes to novelty hits and R&B charttoppers. Such tactics helped move over 65 million albums throughout five decades. Brad Bigelow confesses his appreciation for Space Age Pop's long-distance runner, and reveals that there's more to a Ray Conniff album than just a pretty face! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DETROIT RECORD STORES The Motor City has been home to a wealth of music history, so it's no surprise that it offers an assortment of retail outlets for records. Should your travel plans include Detroit, let Marty Winters guide you to the choice spots for Cool & Strange vinyl and compact discs. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THURL RAVENSCROFT The last profile in our trio of famous cartoon voicemen for this issue focuses on Thurl Ravenscroft, the man who's brought life to Kellogg's Tony the Tiger in cereal commercials for over half a century. He's also done voice work for Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss, and his impressive resumé of back-up singing includes sessions with Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, Rosemary Clooney, and Spike Jones. Meet the guy who's usually heard and not seen, as Steve Pastis chats with one of the gr-r-reats! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BROTHER THEODORE Equal parts comedian and dark philosopher, Brother Theodore was a staple of New York's Thirteenth Street Theater, where he performed his one-man show for decades. His odd and colorful career encompassed TV appearances with Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, and David Letterman, roles in both Hollywood and Adult films, and even a bit of cartoon voice work. In a rare interview from 1984, G.S. Stewart sheds some light on this enigmatic monologist of the macabre. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MEL BLANC 78s This issue's Cover-Mania! Photo Spread boasts a colorful parade of children's 78rpm covers, all featuring the talents of the Man of 1,000 Voices, Mel Blanc! Check out some great album art from the early days of recorded children's music. Starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker, Tweety Bird, Henery Hawk, and more! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Add to all of that a ton of CD reviews and other goodies, & you've got yourself a cornucopia of So get on board!

I decided to follow the excellent example of basichip, otis fodder and others and present a full album for download. However, I would recommend not getting too excited (at least, not as excited as I do when Mr. Hip posts albums). The album I've put up is not especially rare; in fact, in England, I would say it's quite common. However, unless I've missed something, it's one of the lesser trumpeted UK issue easy listening LPs. It's Helmut Zacharias's 'Light my fire', a great example of the sound epitomized on the 'Inflight entertainment' compilation, which I would describe as a brassier, more brazenly cheesy version of the 'Now sound'. Have a listen and let me know what you think: http://www.musicaltaste.com/blog/showrecord.php?record_id=110 To download songs, click the song titles. This is the first time I've done this, so please accept my apologies if my server is unable to take the strain, or if I've screwed anything up. I'll keep the files up there until the end of the year. I hope some people enjoy the album. Although it's some way from being 'cool', I'm absolutely crazy about this version of 'Respect', and there are five or six other really excellent tracks. cheers, Jonny - -- recommend songs at www.musicaltaste.com _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup 1 cent a minute calls anywhere in the U.S.! http://www.getpennytalk.com/cgi-bin/adforward.cgi?p_key=RG9853KJ&url=http://www.getpennytalk.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, 17 Dec 2001 17:33:45 -0800 From: Paul Penna Subject: (exotica) Re: Apache clayton black wrote: >One of my favorite Cugat albums is "Cugat Plays Continental Hits" from the >f:35d series, but I've been curious about a strange write-up on the tune >"Apache" from the album.

The Apache Dance was something of a craze in Paris nightspots earlier in the last century. Not a social dance one would engage in, but an act. They can often be seen in contemporary films with bistro locales. I learned of them first through old cartoons, in which a stripe-shirted tough guy would sling a gal around like a sack of potatoes.

Welcome to the list. It's a great place to hang out. You asked if there were any other Nelson Riddle fans out there. I'm becoming a Nelson Riddle fan. I found a great crime jazzy soundtrack not too long ago called "The Rogues". I like it a lot. I want more like it. I then realized that the Batman TV Soundtrack I had is also Nelson Riddle. Then while making a compilation CD, I noticed that the Linda Ronstadt records were Nelson Riddle. I know he's worked with Sinatra. How's that one with the cover of the naked lady swimming on it. Or any others anyone might recommend?

December 19: One of the most highly regarded cartoonists working in comics during the last half century has passed on. Dan DeCarlo, at 82 years still professionally active, died yesterday, reportedly of a heart attack suffered following a bad fall. DeCarlo is most famous for his defining work on the ARCHIE comic books. His distinctive approach proved so irresistable and succesful at keeping kids buying the books that it ultimately became the defacto house style at ARCHIE. DeCarlo also created JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS, SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH and CHERYL BLOSSOM for ARCHIE and left his distinctive stamp on all the ARCHIE characters. Despite his yoeman efforts for ARCHIE PUBLICATIONS, DeCarlo was not loved by management. As ARCHIE developed DeCarlo creations into lucrative television and film franchises, friction grew between the artist and publisher Michael Silberkleit. DeCarlo ultimately entered into an ugly legal battle with ARCHIE over ownership of the JOSIE, SABRINA and CHERYL BLOSSOM characters. The COMICS JOURNAL recently reported that the United States Supreme Court refused to revisit a lower court of appeals ruling that "the copyright for Josie and the Pussycats resides with Archie and that DeCarlo's challenge has come 40 years too late.
