Emery" Subject: re- santo & johnny i didn't get this original message so maybe i'm confused, but am i = missing something here? did some idiot really say that s&j can't play? = talk about ignorant--does this person really think that santo & johnny = were just another run of the mill "exotica" band?! the first 2 santo & = johnny records are unbelievable. "Teardrop" is quite possibly the most = beautiful song ever-the heavy reverb on the pedal steel is perfect. and = to say they "covered" sleep walk??? hello??? it was a huge hit for them = (as far as i know they wrote it) and has never been done justice on = record since (ever heard stray cats version? pukerama!). while i like Friends of D. Martinez, they are a far cry from santo & = Johnny. the songs, the creative arrangements, the playing, the tones on = S&Js records could never be matched. waiting for the box set... Joe Emery Death Valley - -------------------- I haven't seen any mention of Santo and Johnny, a couple of Italian boys = from Queens, NY (or Brooklyn?), who recorded in the late 50s. They cover = all the usual exotic standards -- Caravan, Sleep Walk, Canadian Sunset, = Hawaiian War Chant -- but the twist is that one of them plays a Hawaiian = slide guitar, or perhaps it's a pedal steel. (All I have is a cassette = taped by a friend.) Whoever it is playing the thing is just terrible. = Their version of Hawaiian War Chant is hilarious -- they can't play the = 16th notes so they just sort of slur it and fake it. - -------------------- I know they're BIG influences in FRIENDS OF DEAN MARTINEZ... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 Feb 1997 10:22:59 -0500 From: "Keith D'arcy" Subject: Re: Jewels List Hi All, If were talking psych-pop, we could include the Kaleidoscope LPs "Tangerine Dream" and "Faintly Blowing" and if we can add non-UK LPs we should definitely throw in The Smoke LP on Sidewalk and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band's fourth LP, "A Child's Guide to Good and Evil," Lazy Smoke's "Corridor of Faces" and possibly the Appletree Theatre, Chrysalis, Wichita Fall, "Miss Butters" by the Family Tree and the Art of Lovin' LP. Forever Amber's "The Love Cycle" is OK (and UK, I think). The Attack should be mentioned too. The Hollies LP "Butterfly" qualifies in my book, definitely. If anyone's interested in 60's psych-pop, I'd love to swap tapes. Keith. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Feb 1997 08:13:34 -0800 (PST) From: "D.J. Johnson" Subject: Cosmik Debris/Brazil 2001 'allo, everybody. Just dropping in to announce the new issue of Cosmik Debris, which is now online at www.cosmik.com/cosmikdebris. In this issue, you will find an interview with Bernard Yin, fellow Cowabungan and leader of Brazil 2001. There are also 4 sound clips accompanying the interview. Don't forget to enter your name for the drawing. We'll be giving away five copies of Brazil 2001's CD, Fist Full Of Sand. Waaaaaaay at the other end of the spectrum, we're honored to have an interview with classical composer David Diamond. At 81, his memory is sharp as a tack, and he shares stories about his friends E.E. Cummings, Aaron Copland, Maurice Ravel, and others. Fascinating reading. The pickings were slim this month as far as surf releases go, so the only surf review is the compilation called "The Missing Chord," which features The Mel-Tones, Dead Man's Curve, and a few other Cowabunga bands. And, of course, we have Phil Dirt's column! Plus interviews with Canadian punk archivist Jan Haust, and Bob Smith of The Ken Ardley Playboys. Stop on by. That's about it. Thanks!

I was astonished by the putdown. Maybe A.

I'm trying to find out who the writers, session musicians, producers, songwiters, actors, discography, etc. were. Any information regarding the recording studio (and it's equipment) would also be appreciated. I stumbled across this link while browsing through the Art Bell webpage. It's the Unsolved Mysteries page, with a section devoted to finding the whereabouts of Taylor Kramer. http://www.amci.com/missing/info.html William wwalton@n2k.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Feb 97 8:06:53 -0700 From: MENACHEM TURCHICK Subject: Re: jewels list I nominate: 1.

"Face to Face" and "Something Else" were its predecessors, and are worthy of mention, though not pure concept LPs. I also apologize to the list for broadcasting personal mail - I didn't think to check the address before responding to what was personal mail to me.
