Mystery solved! The olingo in daylight: My new podcasting studio! Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to talk about an animal suggested by several people. Thanks to Oceana, Leo, and Alexandra for suggesting the coatimundi, also called the coati! We're also going to learn about a related animal mystery that was the subject of a Patreon episode earlier this year, because it ties in so well. The coatimundi looks superficially like a type of monkey, or maybe a lemur, but it's not a primate at all. It belongs to the family Procyonidae, which includes raccoons, kinkajous, and a few others. Procyonids are native to the Americas, and some scientists think they may be very distantly related to canids. Since a lot of Procyonids have bushy ringed tails, at one point the red panda was classified as a relation, but it's since been reclassified into a family all its own that doesn't appear to be related. The coati lives in much of South America, Central America, and southern North America, including Mexico and parts of the American southwest. It's mostly gray-brown or reddish-brown in color, with some white markings around the eyes and muzzle. Males are much bigger than females on average, but in general the coati isn't that much bigger than a domestic cat. It has a long, thick tail that sort of resembles a cat's tail except that it's even longer in relation to its body. Some coatis have rings around the tail but some don't. It depends on the species and the individual. The coati uses its long tail to help it balance in trees, since it does a lot of climbing. Its hind feet can rotate so that they're backwards, which means it can climb down trees headfirst. Procyonids can all do this, but so can some unrelated animals like weasels, due to convergent evolution. The coati also uses its long tail to keep track of its friends when they're traveling through long grass. It sticks its tail straight up so that it's visible above the grass. Since female coatis live in social groups of up to 40 individuals, keeping track of friends is important. The coatimundi doesn't worry too much that predators might see its tail sticking up and run over for a coati-sized snack. While jaguars, cougars, large eagles, and a few other predators do eat coatis, for the most part other animals leave them alone. The coati has sharp teeth, sharp claws, and it's strong and fast for its size. It can be ferocious when it needs to, and of course it has its equally ferocious friends to help out. Plus, the coati is intelligent. In a 2013 study, the female coati's brain was found to have a very large frontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that handles sociability. Male coatis had smaller frontal cortexes, since males spend most of the time by themselves or in small bachelor groups except during mating season. And as we've learned when talking about other animals, the more complex an animal's social structure, the more intelligent it's likely to be. The coati's ears are small and its snout is long and thin and turns slightly upwards, which makes it look a little like a piggy nose. But unlike a pig's nose, the coati's is extremely flexible. It uses its nose to root around in leaf litter and dirt to find food. It's an omnivore that's happy to eat pretty much anything, from fruit and other plant material, to insects and other invertebrates, including tarantulas, to eggs and small animals. It has a strong sense of smell and clever front paws that help it dig up grubs, termites, and other yummy things. It sleeps with its nose tucked into its belly fur and its long tail wrapped around it.

We conclude our Madonna Summer Movie Series with another quintessential Madonna film, the 1987 classic "Who's That Girl." We do a deep dive into the movie, hear from Coati Mundi himself (aka Raoul) who tells us a never heard story from on set, and also act out a scene from the imaginary sequel -- "Who's That Girl: Nikki's Revenge." So grab your tutu and fire engine red lipstick, hop in Mommy's Rolls and take a trip back to Nikki Finn's world.

During the summer of 1976, Cory Daye‘s voice wafted through the bamboo forests of New York's Fire Island like an intoxicating fragrance. As the lead vocalist and co-founder of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, she beckoned the island's dwellers to untold pleasures while the group's self-titled debut stirred dancers into sweaty, salty abandon. Boardwalks seldom pulsed with such a bewitching beat.Fire Island was worlds away from the South Bronx where Daye first met composer/arranger Stony Browder, Jr. (guitar/piano) and his brother, lyricist August Darnell (bass). Drummer Mickey Sevilla and vibe master “Sugar Coated” Andy Hernandez (aka Coati Mundi) helped crystallize the group's musical aesthetic, which had morphed from R&B into a blend of big band, soul, Latin, jazz, dance, and pop. Produced by Four Seasons tunesmith Sandy Linzer, Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band (1976) brought the grandeur of swing-era bandstands to the discotheque, melding wry social commentary with classic Hollywood romanticism. “Everybody's favorite album is Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band on RCA,” critic Vince Aletti wrote in his “Disco File” column for Record World. “It's this summer's major surprise hit not only because three cuts are eminently danceable (‘Sour and Sweet', ‘Cherchez La Femme', and ‘I'll Play the Fool'), but because the group's fabulously eclectic sound — drawing on several decades of American pop music from big band jazz to doo-wop soul to sophisticated disco, full of sly musical quotes — is so fresh and appealing” (7 August 1976).Aletti would later declare Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band the “Most Essential Disco Album of 1976”, while the Los Angeles Times named Savannah Band “the hottest disco act in the country” (26 November 1976). Even Aletti's peers in the rock press cheered the group's arrival. “It's a pleasure to admit that their music is a fresh pop hybrid with its own rhythmic integrity, and that its sophistication is a lot brighter and more lively than most of the organic bullshit making it to the rock stage in the mid-'70s,” Robert Christgau noted in the Village Voice.Rolling Stone published its own rave review of Savannah Band's debut. “The highest moments introduce a genuinely surrealistic disco whose adventurous use of bitonality and electronic sound effects stands in absolute contrast to the recent disco market's cynical prefabrication of oldies,” wrote Stephen Holden. “‘I'll Play the Fool', ‘Cherchez La Femme', and especially ‘Sour and Sweet', are group originals that literally explode the genre with their brittle scintillating audacity” (23 September 1976).With a sound that signaled disco's penchant for innovation, Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band supplanted the Bee Gees' “You Should Be Dancing” from number one on Billboard‘s “National Disco Action Top 30” in October 1976. A month later, “Cherchez La Femme” debuted on the Hot 100 where it would peak at #27 and introduce one of the era's most indelible opening lines — “Tommy Mottola lives on the road” — to the airwaves. The album itself was certified gold and earned the group a GRAMMY nomination for “Best New Artist”.In '79 Cory Daye released her solo album, “Cory and Me”. Rolling Stone, November '79 - Cory delivers a vocal performance that's direct and elusive, girlishly simple and musically sophisticated, sexy without being huff-and-puffy.   When Daye makes her entrance in any song, it's like the sun breaking through a bank of dark clouds. Paired again with producer-extraordinaire Sandy Linzer, singles “Single Again”, “A Wiggle and A Giggle” and the thumping “Pow Wow” will Listen and subscribe to the BAAS Entertainment Podcast on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Deezer, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Podchaser, Pocket Casts and TuneIn. “Hey, Alexa.

We Won Is Posted Everywhere Until We Do I believe in the power of intention and have printed these up and hung them all over the house and on my desktops as wallpaper. It is to celebrate the future where cub handling is banned world wide. Image by Christina Hess, w/ my text overlaid. The calls you never hear about We do a pretty good job of letting you and our outside supporters know about the work we do to save exotic cats, but there are a lot of calls and emails that you never hear about because it turns out to be a case of mistaken identity or we never find the cat or the person who calls, saying they want us to rescue their cat drops off the radar before we can make arrangements. We told you some months ago about an injured leopard that we were trying to save, but we have no police powers and none of the agencies who do would intervene, so the cat continues to suffer, if still alive. Sometimes, in cases like Tony the truck stop tiger, the wheels of justice turn ever so slowly and four years have passed, but we haven't forgotten him and will update you the minute there is something to report. We get countless calls and emails asking us to save black panthers (mostly) and every other imaginable kind of cat, but the vast majority of these turn out to be fat domestic cats, hybrid cats who are not regulated, dogs, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, and even nutria (big rats). One of those calls ended up in me bringing Baby Cakes the genet back from the ASPCA in Largo. They found him wandering in a neighborhood and thought he was a Coatimundi...which was a pretty good guess. Many of the queries we can handle by having the caller send a photo, but a lot of times we have to drive out to the scene, wander around in the woods for hours, and then return with nothing to report to you. I know you guys do a lot that I never see too. Some of you have become experts at knowing when a cat is "just not himself" and know all of the ins and outs of inventory, check in, guest relations, cat poop and more. I am so proud of all of you and want you to know that we are all working to care for the cats who live here and end the suffering outside our gates. Watching this video is NOT mandatory, but shows you some of the behind the scenes work in our rehab program. I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/ I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.

Vuelven los años 80. Ahora 80s. Llevamos 40 años para sacarnos de encima esa dichosa década. En este programa de Achilitime se intenta explicar dos cosas. Por un lado, que el rumbero que esté libre de versión que tire la primera piedra. Y por otro que los detonantes siempre han sido los mismos. Oigamos. Empieza el programa con el "Hotel California" de los Eagles de 1976, astutamente reinterpretado por los Gipsy Kings en 1990. Un año antes de la Olimpiada. Un año antes de que Peret reemprendiera su carrera tras 10 años en "el culto". Catorce años después de que fuera un hit mundial en su versión original. Ojo, en las emisoras españolas suena a diario en casi todas -no es broma-, así entenderás (si lees esto desde fuera de España -help-) que es lo que se entiende aquí por cultura, o por radio. De vuelta. La versión del "Hotel California" es un superhit planetario que posiciona para siempre en el top de la rumba a los franceses Gipsy Kings. Sorprendentemente es una adaptación autorizada del tema. Para traducir o adaptar la lírica de una canción se han de seguir unos tramites burocráticos estrictos. Escuchen esta letra del Hotel California en castellano e intenten creer que ustedes lo entienden. Un año después los Manolos aplican la misma ecuación y rescatan el "All My Loving" de 1964 de The Beatles y sorpresa: también lo petan. La casualidad. ¿Parece fácil no?. Sigamos, en 1995 Kiko Veneno cae en la cuenta y recupera el "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" de Bob Dylan de 1976 y lo transforma en su "Memphis Blues Again". No es super ventas pero despunta bastante. Pero estos temas citados, con los que arranca el programa son anteriores a los 80s. Así pues, aunque el programa se hubiera llamado como su carátula Now 80s, tras oírlo recordad: no hace falta hacer más versiones por rumba de canciones ochenteras. Ni anteriores. ¿O si?.Llegamos al tramo de los ochentas. Festival de intentos. El "Another Brick In The Wall" hit de Pink Floyd de 1980, se transformó en "Y los Niños con las motos" de Los Guachis en 2007: ¿tarde?. El "Back in Black" de 1980 de los ACDC lo recupera en 2009 Tomasito: curioso. El "Me No Pop I/Que Pasa" de Coati Mundi también de 1980 lo reciclan Achilifunk Sound System en 2016 con más pena que gloria: otro fracaso. Los Manolos recuperan en 1994 el "Que te quiero" de Katrina & the Waves de 1983: nada. Manzanita transforma el "Karma Chameleon" de Culture Club de 1983 en "Dame una solución" en el año 2001, adaptando con cariño letra incluso y soportando el consecuente trámite de pedir permiso a Boy George. Preciosa versión, nula repercusión. Sigamos, en 1991 Rumbeat versionea el "I Just call yo Say i Love you" de Stevie Wonder de 1984 en pitinglish sin alcanzar las cotas de horterismo del original. Otros que lo bordan, en 2011 el combo de Girona llamado Hermano Loco adaptan como "Triangulo de Amor Raro" el "Bizarre Love Triangle" de New Order de 1986. El tema estuvo a punto de ser editado en un recopilatorio japonés tras dar permiso la editorial y ser autorizada por el mismísimo Peter Hook. Lástima, podría haber tenido algún recorrido.Seguimos, Los Amaya versionan el "Englishman in New York" 1987 de Sting en pitinglish. Traducen el título como "Un Inglés en Nueva York" pero no se adapta la letra, lástima. Años después, en 2003, el combo Che Sudaka la transforma, adapta y traduce a su gusto -desconocemos si legalmente- y la llama "Sin Papeles" en su primer cd "Trippie Town" (K Industria, 2003). Tampoco sabemos si debieron de escuchar U2 su "With or without you" de 1987 cuando acabó siendo en 2012 "Dame Churrasco" en la voz de Rumba Tarumba, enésima escisión de Los Manolos: mejor no. El "Yé Ké Yé Ké" de Mory Kante de 1987 en la voz de Los Lachós ("Yeke Yeke" 1988) seguramente se debió de oír hasta en Guinea, además sólo tardaron un año en replicarla. Un hit underground de la tecno rumba acamelada que tuvo otros discípulos aventajados en Sándalo, que sacaron un Lp repleto de versiones 80s y hasta el "All That She Wants" (1993) de Ace of Base que ellos llamaron "Desnúdate" 1994 en la linea de las adaptaciones españolas de de títulos de películas. Antes y siguiendo la cronología de este Achilitime oirás el "Where is My Mind" de Pixies (1988) transformado en la rumba "¿Me Lo Dices O Me Lo Cuentas?" diez años después por Azucarillo Kings, con notable repercusión en los circuitos undergrounds de desmelene. Y una versión inédita del "Smell Like Teen Spirit" de Nirvana de 1991 grabada como maqueta por Gertrudis en 2009 cuando aún eran un combo de rumba. El programa acaba con el "Wonderwall" de Oasis, perpetrada por Los Sobraos. Basta oírla para entender el apelativo del grupo.Un flashback a los dulces ochentas por rumba, tecno rumba y gipsy rock, donde el oportunismo y oportunidad se confunden con el riesgo y éxito. La rumba, como el reggae o cualquier genero en si mismo, tiene la capacidad de fagocitar del pop más ñoño al heavy pasando por el afrobeat o reggae. Ahí estriba su grandeza como género musical.

Musings of a Keeper Walkabout Dec 10, 2008   If well received, this may be the first in a series of Keeper Walkabout notes by our staff and volunteers. As I walk about the sanctuary each day I often think how much our supporters would love to see what we see on a daily basis. It is so sad that these cats are in cages, but inspirational to see them make the best of it. This is an effort to convey the daily life at Big Cat Rescue.   As I arrived Kathryn was scurrying to the gate for a tour. Honey was busy in the gift shop and Jessica popped in to update me on the medical conditions of some of the domestic cats she has taken home to foster and place. The new intern was cleaning inside and outside there were “Blue Shirts” everywhere, buckets in hand, cleaning the cages.   Later Honey updated me on Hope and Ace the rehab bobcats. Hope weighs about six pounds now and has finally figured out that if you stick half your body into the pipe where the rats come from, the rats won't come that way. Back before Ace was diagnosed with AIDS she would have been able to show Hope how to cheat, which is to get in the highest place in the cage and watch all of the rat holes at the same time. Because we don't want the rehab cats to associate people and food Jamie had installed pipes to send the rats into the rehab cages, with the entry point far from the bobcats. Because Hope is getting too good at catching the rats, keepers had to extend the pipes much further away so that the arrival of the rat did not coincide with a keeper coming to clean their water bowl. There is a screen to hide behind while cleaning the water bowl, but bobcats are pretty smart, and we do all we can to insure they will survive in the wild when they get to go free.   The sun is shining through the fuchsia colored Bougainvillea that drapes over Windstar the Bobcat‘s cage outside my window. It is too pretty outside to be sitting at the computer, so I head out. The first cage I notice appears to be waist high grass throughout and guests must wonder why we don't mow in there, but if you stand and gaze at the enclosure, you start to notice a maze of tunnels. Little bobcat size tunnels that weave and wind all over the 1200 square foot space. There is one special little sunning spot where the grass is padded into a purr-fect little cat bed with a view of the white sand beach and lake. Little Feather is the resident here and would surely throw a hissy fit if her grass labyrinth were altered in any way other than her own choosing. Mike was cleaning bobcat cages nearby but he knows that poo and leftovers are all you can take from Little Feather's cat-a-tat.   About 30 mallards, here for the winter, took to flight as I walked too close to where they were hanging out with the swans and guinea hens waiting for Mary Lou and Rosie to feed them. That caught the eye of Apollo, Zeus and Anastasia, the Siberian Lynx nearby. Old Anastasia is crippled and diabetic, but was working on a mat in her ruff when the commotion began. A couple days ago it was 40 degrees and today it is 75 degrees and her coat doesn't know if it is coming or going. As the old coats shed and new coats come in, some of the lynx look like Rastafarians with their dreadlocks.   Calvin the Palm Civet cautiously watches from inside his new den in his new enclosure. This new place has so many more great places to climb and root about thanks to the hard work of our keepers in transforming an otherwise bare space into a Palm Civet wonderland. Also enjoying his new digs, is Pappa Bear the Coatimundi. His former owners had cut off all his toes in a botched declawing attempt and shaved his tail to hawk him as the “world's largest rat.” After the old bobcat Sheera died, Pappa Bear was the perfect candidate for her cage since he cannot climb or dig. Today he was rooting obliviously in the leaves and brush of his new piece of real estate.   Adonnis and Bagheera the Black Leopards were sacked out and sleeping so soundly that even the sound of fall's leaves crunching under my feet didn't elicit so much as a whisker twitch. They were sleeping in exactly the same position and looked like a mirror image of each other. On the far side of the sanctuary the wind blowing in the cattails on the lake was mirrored in the way the breeze swayed Joseph the Lion‘s big dark mane. Cameron the Lion had decided that he didn't want the keepers taking his left overs from last night and was barking at Marie if she came too close. Lions are funny that way. You never know when they are going to get possessive about something; their mate, their food, a stick… but when they get into that mindset, all you can do is leave them be.   While writing this, Scott came in with a hawk in a towel and Chris in tow with a video camera. Apparently the hawk had gone into Hercules the Snow Leopard‘s cage and in the excitement that followed, was unable to take the time of squeezing back out through the 4 x 4 wire. Scott and Chris were taking the hawk to examine him for injuries and if he was OK he would be released immediately. Never a dull moment…   I had just caught Shaniqua the Jungle Cat pinning something to the ground. As I tried to see around her to learn if it was a mouse, lizard, snake or bird, she turned around, one paw behind her back (still holding down whatever it was) and gave me the same feigned innocence of a child with her hand caught in the cookie jar. I asked, “What have you got there?” to which her expression clearly said, “Who me?” Not budging, I just waited to see, and she reluctantly let it go. She probably figured she could easily catch it again when the “prey police” weren't around. Tonight is whole prey night and it is every cats' favorite night because you get whole mice, chicks, rats, rabbits or beef ribs depending on how big you are. They are dead on arrival though and not as much fun as catching your own prey, but we discourage eating lizards here as they often cause liver flukes.   TJ the Tiger was neutered a few days ago and the next day seemed completely over it. Today he was chuffing softly at passerbys and gazing out at the ducks who had settled back onto the lake. Vern was busy renovating a jaguar cage for a new liger and tiger rescue. That meant building a bigger den, bigger feeding area and bigger doors between sides of the enclosure. Somewhere a ball was banging noisily against the side of a cage and guessing from the sound of the impact, it was a tiger having fun. Julie‘s video of cats with balls is pretty hilarious:   The sounds of scrapers clinking against the wire walls of the cages and the sounds of scrubbing and hoses spraying water bowls was not enough to make Cleo Cat Tra the Serval lift her head from a mid morning nap. Not even the flick of an ear, but several of her Serval neighbors, Arizona, Purrsonality, Esmerelda and Shasta were strolling about, with ears ever tuned to each sound. I am sure they were straining to hear the clicker sound that goes along with Operant Conditioning. They love the treats on a stick and the relief from boredom that comes along with the clicker sound.   Passing by Trucha and Modnic, the Tiger sisters, who too were up and about, and King the Tiger who was lounging in his den, I came upon Pat, our resident master gardener, and her troop of gardeners. They were almost entirely obscured by the mountains of trimmings they took out of the butterfly gardens in preparation for winter. She kept reassuring me that this was healthy for the plants and they would come back even more beautiful in the spring. I'm glad we have so many talented volunteers from every walk of life. Dropping into the Volunteer check point, volunteers were clocking in and clocking out. I ran into Kym who gestured wildly in her enthusiasm about having Big Cat Rescue as her team mascot in the cancer awareness event coming up in April. There will be 60 camps at the event and each prepares a goodie bag for all of the other campers. Her bags will be full of information on the tigers at the sanctuary, as the theme was wild animals and she chose tigers. With fewer than 4,000 tigers left in the wild and China farming them for their parts, the tigers need all the awareness they can get.   Catera the Bobcat looked great and lately we have been really worried about him. His mother, Indian Summer, killed all his siblings, 11 years ago at birth, and Catera is mentally challenged as well as being frequently sick. Catera is the canary in the mine here and if there is a flea on the 45 acres, it will be on Catera. If there is anything going around, he will be sick first. His mom knew he wasn't thrifty enough to survive, but we didn't give in so easily. It has been a struggle to keep him healthy, but he has such a zest for life, we just never could give up on him. This last bout of intestinal issues had me thinking it was the end for him, but after exhausting all of the natural remedies we could find, Dr. Liz resorted to a chemical stool softener that he will have to be on for the rest of his life. He was dancing in circles, chirping like a bird on speed and back to his effusive little self today, so I guess it was worth it all to him.   Running Bear and Little White Dove, the dynamic Bobcat duo, just had their cage size doubled. Most of our cages are in excess of 1200 square feet, but as the lesser cats have died we have not found others in need of rescue. There is a huge need for cage space for Lions and Tigers but only our “Green Shirts” are qualified to care for the big cats. It takes as least 2 years and a commitment of no less than 8 hours per week, every week, to be a “Green Shirt” here so we are limited by the number of keepers for bigger cats.   An article in today's news about an idiot taking her bobcat to Petsmart to have her photo with Santa, and the mauling of Santa that followed, said that she paid $1,500. for the bobcat. That is three times what they sold for a decade ago, so that tells me that the breeding is slowing down as a result of the bans we have been able to help pass in 7 states recently. If we could ban it in FL, OH and MO. the suffering caused by the exotic cat pet trade would be all but over. You can help us do that at http://www.CatLaws.com.   Showing off their new space to run, Running Bear and Little White Dove went bounding from one end of the old enclosure to the far end of the new add on. Julie did a great play on the idea of what is on and under our trees during the holiday season in a video.   Nico the Geoffroy Cat was moved to the tour path. As he has grown bolder around people we decided to move him out to where he can get an even broader look at the world. He had been a pet that came to us taped up in a box. He is the last of the Geoffroy Cats at Big Cat Rescue and you never hear about people trying to keep them as pets any more.   The smaller the species, the more they have to prove. It never works out well for the cats when people attempt to make pets of them. It goes against everything they are hard wired to be. Today as I walked by he was peering from the depth of his den; two shining orbs in the pitch blackness.   His new enclosure is closer to the path, but not on the main route and we will watch him carefully to be sure he is happy with the arrangement. We offer 14 regular guided tours each week and the public is not allowed to visit unless on a guided tour. All of our cats have the ability to hide if they want to, but we don't want to put any of them in a position where they are uncomfortable, so we'll see how it goes.   Some cats LOVE attention and Rambo the Jungle Cat is one of them. Perhaps by the next writing he will be in his new home which is right in the middle of where the tour paths converge. He is going to love that kind of attention!   As the three o'clock tour guests arrived I warmed up my long overdue lunch of tofu and green beans and talked to Bill the tour guide. Two years ago, after protesting fur sales at the mall, Bill, a veteran, had gone to MacDill Air Force Base and asked why they were selling animal fur garments in the Base Exchange. Unable to justify such an antiquated practice the base removed the fur products from their store and chose to go fur free. Two weeks ago, the entire SE region, which spans VA, to MS to FL has gone fur free too. One person really can make a difference.   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.     You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

In the early '80s, Kid Creole and the Coconuts transcended the NYC dance scene to become something of an oddity nation-wide for a time. Here was lead singer August Darnell in a zoot suit, Coati Mundi dancing around behind marimbas, and three very shapely girls (the aforementioned Coconuts) doing choreography and backing vocals. And the music was fun, audacious, eclectic, and universal, although none of their records sold in big enough quantities to chart in the US (aside from the Billboard Dance Club Songs charts). There was also, in their nascent club-scene incarnation, Lori Eastside on co-lead vocals, but she didn't stick around long enough for the ascension to national fame. But the extant video of the time reveals that she was fantastic. And Carol Coleman was a bass player of noticeable depth, space, and groove. She will get your attention if you see videos of their live shows of the time, even though she barely moves. But her sound reminds me of George Murray, who, as both of you who listen to my show know, is my favorite bass player.  I SUCK at interviewing. But regardless, I interviewed Adriana Kaegi, "Mother Coconut", dancer, singer, songwriter, and an integral part of the band in their original incarnation, up to 1995.  I am not saying that KCatC was a big act, but they were influential. Prince was a fan, and as more and more people discover them through YouTube, their performances and original output live on.  I'm A Wonderful Thing Baby (1982) Coati Mundi - Que Pasa/Me No Pop I (1980) Table Manners (Live) (1981) From "Fresh Fruit In Foreign Places" - The Musical. Recorded at The Ritz in NYC.   The Sex Of It (1985) Written by Prince, who was white-hot at the time. The record went nowhere.  Stool Pigeon (1982)  Endicott (1985)  The Coconuts - Indiscreet (1983) The Coconuts - Did You Have To Love Me Like You Did? ( 12" Version ) (1983) Coati Mundi - I Say Hey (1983) Boomerang - Boomerang Fanfare/Boomerang (1986)  Aural Exciters - Maladie d'Amour (1979) Between Dr. Buzzard's Savannah Band and KCatC, there was this odd disco record. The cover says it was produced by Bob Blank, but August wrote/co-wrote everything with another NYC guy, Ron Rogers, who produced/wrote many disco songs of the time. What a scene it must have been.  Christina - Disco Clone (1980) Written and produced by August Darnell.  Cristina - Jungle Love (1980) Cristina - Ticket To The Tropics (1984) August Darnell had nothing to do with this, but this particular song was co-written by one Doug Fieger of The Knack. You can sort of hear it. The album was produced by Don Was of Was Not Was who also produced records for (deep breath) Ringo Starr, Elton John, The B-52s, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, Carly Simon, Willy Nelson, etc.  Funkapolitan - As The Time Goes By (1982) Produced by August Darnell Prince - The Sex Of It (198?) Demo version. Kid Creole & The Coconuts - Going Places/In The Jungle (Live) (1981) From "Fresh Fruit In Foreign Places" - The Musical. Recorded at The Ritz in NYC.

On this episode of Gritty Bowmen I sit down with Jonathan O’Dell, Small Game Biologist for the Arizona Game and Fish Department and Sam Soholt, Professional Photographer (a.k.a. the guy who bought a school bus). This is the first installment of a series of episodes I made during my hunt with Randy Newberg, in Southern Arizona.  Southern Arizona is AWESOME! It feels exotic, but you’re right here in the good ole’ US of A. Arizona is the convergence of all four North American Deserts which makes for the highest amount of biological diversity in North America. We discuss my Coatimundi attack, Sandhill Cranes (and how it’s my new favorite meat), Giant Jack Rabbits, Javelina, Quail, Waterfowl, and more. We talk about hunting seasons, the cost and how you really should be bringing your kids to Arizona to hunt.

How cool is it to run into a bunch of white nosed coati mundi? Very cool!

Randy is joined by friends (and Arizona Game and Fish employees), Wade Zarlingo and Jonathan O'Dell, from his January archery Coues deer camp in southern Arizona, also known as a "Sonoran Smorgasboard."  Topics discussed are plethora of hunting opportunity in Arizona, spot and stalk Coues deer as joyful insanity, javelina distraction, Arizona drawing system and deadlines, how to pronounce "Coues," Mearn's quail are not fools, delicacy of grilled quail, calling quail, eating javelina, southern AZ as a waterfowler's paradise, Thick Billed Parrots, how to spot and stalk a Coati Mundi, sandhill cranes taxonomy, Mexican ducks as a trophy species, why isn't everyone hunting southern Arizona in the winter, and all other topics relevant to the finest winter hunting of Randy's career.

Welcome to Episode 2 of 'The House List' with Peter Agoston, on this episode we feature a candid conversation with composer, vibe Some may know him from Bronx-bred Disco big-band 'Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band' other may know him from the seminal works with partner August Darnell in Kid Creole and the Coconuts. I'm a huge fan of his solo albums "The Former 12 Year Old Genius" (1983) and "Dancing For The Cabana Code In The Land Of Boo-Hoo" (2010). He's acted in several films - from Madonna's early masterpiece 'Who's That Girl' to Spike Lee's "Mo Betta Blues" and "He Got Game". This is officially the first interview I conducted for The House List, and was conducted very much on the fly at the McDonald's in Los Angeles off Sunset Blvd. I found it to be both revealing, humbling, and full of real human spirit. If you've never heard of Coati Mundi before, I hope you may find interest in seeking out his music after listening to this talk.
