what follows is a text description of what happened next: (chuck throws his hands in the air screaming!
starts to run around in circles manically until he trips on a table leg and fall's head first into a door jamb

Thanks Lucas!

9:49 of tune-up time?

Lucas, that was something else!
But as to Tiki Taanes' Tangaroa performance not being tiki, the Maori staff/war club some of the men wielded is a Taiaha and I read that the Taiaha is, itself, seen as a guardian ancestor related to the war god Tumatauenga, the father of the first man Tiki.
discuss, aloha tikicoma

Love the Maori Haka influence, Lucas, What do you think of Philip Glass?

I'll be honest, not really a huge fan. I prefer other minimilist composers. But out of all of them, my favorite would be John cage, especially his pieces for prepared piano. In them, he manages to really introduce an exotic element, alternatingly making them sound like wood blocks, gamelans, congas, and marimbas being played.

Regarding Jon hassell...in my mind, he was always a purveyor of latterday exotica. Though, like the Maori clip, it is real solemn stuff, lacking the tounge-in-cheek humor of classic exotica. Jon hassell always called his music "4th world music", representing the cultural interface between primitive societies and modern technology. Here is something a little more upbeat.

here he plays some classics:

Lucas, when it comes to Jazz I am old school, But I gotta say I did not mind it, Had a nice groove going on.

definitely, Chuck.

I am a huge fan of Miles Davis, but mostly I like classic west coast jazz. Less esoteric, more melodic. Then again, I am also a fan of crossover jazz...but don't tell anyone!

Jon Hassell, I guess could loosely be characterized as modern jazz...but, he actually came from the orchestral world. Noteably, he was on the orginal recording of a famous Steve Reich piece called, "in C". That is a minimalist work that does owe alot to Phillip Glass, by the way!

Interestingly, one of Jon hassell's early recordings was called "earthquake island", and the liner notes read like your typical liner notes of say, a Les Baxter album.

There are so many unexpected associations in music. Like everything has 6 degrees of separation to something else. Of course, I maintain that hippy music really is the polar opposite of tiki music. For a lot of reasons.

Miles Davis was the Man.

Oh yeah! The album "Milestones" is my absolute favorite!

If we have to ask, Is Tiki Tiki," must we also query...

• Was Elvis Elvis?

• Is booze booze?

• Are transvestites exotica girls?
