From: Moritz R Subject: (exotica) Charles Wilp on CD Date: 01 Jun 1999 10:50:49 +0200 As a fine example of how this Exotica list helps to enrich the world market of exotic hard-to-find music may I announce the brandnew reissue of "Charles Wilp photographiert Bunny". http://www.atatak.com This LP first came out in 1967 and was rediscovered about a year ago by list member and home-page-prize-winner Marco "Kallie" Kalnenek http://weirdomusic.freeservers.com . Via the Exotica list I came to know of this superb album and passed the tape, that Kallie had made for me, to the indie label Ata Tak, who happen to be based in the same city as Charles Wilp, Duesseldorf, Germany. After brief negotiations with media-star, photographer and artist Charles Wilp a contract was signed. Wilp, who calls himself the "Michelangelo in Space" today, became widely known for the production of tele ads for the German Afri Cola brand. These were the first "naked" commercials in German TV and featured then yet unknown celebrities like Donna Summer, Amanda Lear and Marsha Hunt. The music for these ads was composed by Wilp himself and appears on the CD as bonus-tracks. http://www.afri-cola.com As I lack of any real comparisons I find it hard to describe the music of "Charles Wilp photographiert Bunny".... small scale orchestra arrangements performing different moods between elegant film score dramatic and "underground" hypnotic-psychedelic expressions. "Barbarella" comes into my mind... The unique character of this music is spiced up by intermissions, that document the work of the photographer with his models. You hear "Bunny" talk about her make-up, Wilp talking to "Marcella" while taking pictures of her etc. Maybe someone else can put it in words better than I can. I hope this doesn't sound like too much of advertizing to you all, but I thought it is so exotica-list-related. Plus it's a really good record that I'd recommend no matter what. -Mo # exotica mailing list FAQ at http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Moritz.Reichelt # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Moritz R Subject: Re: (exotica) Geek Survey Date: 01 Jun 1999 10:54:17 +0200 Tiki Bob wrote: > 1.

I actually visited to check out this record: Bobby Byrne and His Orchestra - 1966 - Magnificent Movie Themes , which I dug out of my uk collection when I was over there last week. I'd forgotten what a fantastic record it is, in spite of its unspectacular title. It has a couple of great Bacharach film themes I didn't know before ('promise her anything' and 'made in paris'), a great 'thunderball', 'spy who came in from the cold' and 'cincinatti kid'. I think this is from the period just after Enoch Light left the label. It has that great loose, slightly funky sound also found on Dick Hyman's 'Man from O.R.G.A.N.' lp. I wish I had a scanner, as my UK issue of this has a really beautiful cover. Also on Command, after having it for 3 years, I've finally got really into the Warren Kime 'Brass Impact' LP - great song choices (eg 'mas que nada', 'prelude to a kiss', 'the breeze and I'). Nice to be getting back into Command stuff; as a friend of mine said, just seeing one of those classic command album covers seems to cause some kind of happiness-generating chemical reaction in the brain... regards, Jonny Get free personalized email at http://email.lycos.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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Robert McKenna" Subject: (exotica) Poupee de son Date: 01 Jun 1999 03:27:34 PDT could someone who's french is better than mine tell me what 'poupee de son' means? girlypop perhaps? rob ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Robbie Baldock Subject: Re: (exotica) Poupee de son Date: 01 Jun 1999 11:29:20 +0100 Robert McKenna wrote: > could someone who's french is better than mine tell me what 'poupee de son' > means? girlypop perhaps?

Peterson, who died Wednesday, also invented collapsible luggage carriers, home security alarms and automotive electrical devices. In the mid-1960s, he invented the Bac-A-Larm, marketing it initially to international construction and engineering giant Morrison Knudsen Corp., which, like Peterson's company, was based in Boise. The system is used worldwide now, and the company he founded with his brother, Peterson Rebuild and Exchange Co., or Preco Inc. as it is known today, is the world's largest supplier of reverse warning systems. *Frank Gunther VENICE, Fla. (AP) -- Frank Gunther, who devised some of the first radio communications devices, died Monday. He was 91. Gunther helped create shortwave, two-way and FM systems, often working with the military and police and fire departments. In 1932 he built what is believed to be the first two-way mobile police radio system for the Bayonne, N.J., police department. Gunther also installed one of the first one-way radios used on an aircraft. In 1931, he took part in the first public broadcast from an aircraft. A year later he installed the first two-way radio system on an airplane. He joined Radio Engineering Laboratories in 1925. It was there that he constructed and operated an experimental station that was one of the first shortwave broadcasting systems. In 1935, Gunther and Edwin Armstrong gave the first public demonstration of frequency modulation, or FM transmission. The signal was much superior in clarity to AM or shortwave.

Lucky I had a friend in Sweden that found it for me! I heard Broberg was a Swedish-American living in Sweden but I never did confirm it. He's recorded a few things in English too.

One is Stan Kenton plays music from West Side Story. Or something like that. Basically driving horn-laden big band interpretations of the Bernstein score. Most excellent. One cut (Cool) is included on the Rhino Crime Jazz series. The other is Jonah Jones Quartet and the "Swingingest" Chorale, whoever that is. Again, a few cuts on the UL comps (Serenata from Rhapsodesia, I particularly like) and the rest of the record is in the same vein. Trumpet and doo be doo chorus making there way through exotica standards like Cherry Pink, Poor People of Paris, Third Man Theme (without the calliope sound-alike!) and so on. A trifle weak, but still excellent basic jazz/chorale stuff. Anyway, aside from being very happy, I wanted to say that the dude gave them to me for free in exchange for me trying to find fishing lures for him. Seems he's a big lure collector. Go figure! Anyway, if anyone has any leads on lures or Teddy Roosevelt artifacts, please contact me off-list, either here (knucklehead000@yahoo.com) or home (risser@goodnews.net). Thanks!

It's interesting that this record came up on the list today. Is this the one called "A Touch of Blue"? The cover has a picture of three nice looking ladies in designer gowns? I had this record until yesterday. Yesterday my 14 year old daughter was looking at this record, probably admiring the gowns the ladies were wearing on the cover, when my wife called her into the kitchen. When she came into the kitchen she brought the album with her. The LP slipped out of the jacket, hit the tile floor, and chipped! I was a few feet away from her when this happened. My daughter went OH NO!! and knelt on the floor and covered her head and moaned in regret and disappointment. I'm sure the first thing that came into her head was that she was in BIG trouble. That I liked the record ( I had a plastic protector on it) and she better show me right away how sorry she was. I told her that I liked the record, was sorry that it was gone but what can you do about this now? At least I still have about 3 songs I could play on each side. Later on my wife privately told me how amazed she was that I handled the situation so maturely. I am too! Another story about this record. During the last WICN pledge drive Gene, the program director, used the word "Swingingest" to describe the music they played. He was on the air with Liz who said, on the air, that "swingingest" was not a word! I was listening in the car had a hoot. I know Liz and she has corrected me a few times too. And she was right, she usually is. A few day later when I showed up to help I brought the album along and gave it to Gene to show her. Gave everyone a little laugh at the end of a marathon pledge drive. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Moritz R Subject: Re: (exotica) Swedish oddities Date: 01 Jun 1999 22:40:04 +0200 Brian Karasick wrote: > I like the single "Tom Top" which has a part that reminds me of a Der > Plan song.

( It was the space age) Along with the record player came my first record "He's a Rebel" by the Crystals, ala Phil Specter. I always cherished the record and the thought of them choosing such a cool song. One day about 6 years ago I was looking at some 45s up in a closet and a few fell off. One broke. It was He's a Rebel. I thought it was really odd that out of 4,000 45s and many many albums the only record that I should ever have break was my first one, some 30 years after I got it. I also broke a cd once, during a hurricane mandatory evacuation last year, it was Martin Denny's " Africana " on Scamp. Cds just don't mean as much when they break, it didn't bother me at all and was easily replaced. I had another copy of "He's a Rebel" in great shape when my first one broke but loosing that 45 vinyl record still gives me the creeps.

I read that somewhere. >Does anybody know the reasons?? Esquivel had/has enormous talent but -- a) his records never sold enough to recoup their recording costs (BMG later recouped the 30+ year old session costs from the reissues royalties); b) he never developed a huge following. RCA intended to mold him into a pop star, but it never happened. They refused to release his 1960 album "See It In Sound", and passed on "More Of Other Worlds........", which was eventually released by Reprise. His last 2 albums were recorded for RCA Mexico, only one of which ("Genius Of Esquivel") was released in the US. He stopped performing in Las Vegas in 1974 because his contract was not renewed. Organized crime stepped out of Las Vegas at the end of the '60's and sold it off to the corporations, who looked at the bottom line on every bit of accounting. The era of large, expensive bands who played for free in the cocktail lounges came to an end. Esquivel continued working at some other resort areas for a few years (San Juan, Honolulu, Hot Springs) as well as selected cites in the US and Mexico, but the 'age of rock' held the death knell for acts of this nature, as did the rise of synthesizers, drum machines, and DJ's. >So becides Esquivel recording for Frank's record >label Repirse and Sinatra liking Esquivel's music, did these two men have any >other kind of connections with each other?? Sinatra often came to see Esquivel when he was performing at the Stardust, and enjoyed his music, but that's about it. Reprise Records in its early days picked up many artists whose contracts had expired with other labels (such as Les Baxter) and also dealt with releasing projects that had been paid for by production companies, such as was the case with the Esquivel album. br cleve # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ottotemp@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Brother Cleve live in San Fran Date: 01 Jun 1999 23:03:58 EDT Tuesday June 8, 1999 Beauty Bar 18th & Mission 9 pm - 1:30 am Otto's guest dj will be Brother Cleve from Combustible Edison.

It was either at the '65? NYC World's Fair or part of the Folies Bergere Broadway show my parents let me attend when we went to the fair. A quick web search turned up the fact that Sid & Marty Kroft did this "adults-only" puppet show at 4 world's fairs and in Las Vegas in the 60's, as well as doing showgirl puppets on Dean Martin's TV show before they went kiddie. They even get a mention in the April 24 1965 TV Guide, check it out here at Dewey Webb's Lurid Library along with some other interesting summer reading recommendations: http://dallasobserver.com/extra/dewey/book24.html "Les Poupees de Paris" shows up on another website's list of Broadway cast recordings not yet released on CD, so there is a record somewhere on RCA. Thanks to the inquiring mind for sending me back 34 years in a time machine. The Stones were staying in the same hotel,so i had my first look at groupies - not that they looked at me except to ask if i knew which floor the Stones were on.

I'm embarrassed to admit that the first time I found a record sponsored by Placidyl - "Tender is the Night" by Peter Nero - I was so jaded that I assumed that the whole sleeping pill thing was just a clever "motif", a put-on, a comment on the sleep-inducing potential of the record itself. You know, "Tender is the night" when you curl up with a somnabulent record like this one. But after a while I figured out that there was just way too much information about Placidyl inside the gatefold cover, for it to be a put-on. Since then, I've found one other Placidyl-sponsored record, by Burt Bacharach. Burt don't put this boy to sleep, I can tell you that.

She kneels down in front of a stack (they're all lined up leaning on every old thing in my office) and flips through them, just like a professional, though more slowly. Ask her what she's doing and she replies "Just looking, Daddy. Just looking at the books." When she cruises near some of my more expensive records, I can't help but cringe.

(AP) -- Hillary Brooke, the elegant blond actress who played the ``other woman'' in dozens of movies and had a recurring role in the 1950s TV sitcom ``My Little Margie,'' has died. She was 84. Miss Brooke died May 25 in Bonsall in Southern California, according to a friend, Helen Lovass. Although Miss Brooke was often tagged a ``blonde bombshell,'' she once publicly challenged a psychology professor's claim that ``intelligence can repel a man'' and that smart actresses would frighten male fans. ``Vacuity will never substitute for a glint of intelligence,'' she said. Although never a leading lady, the former model worked with top actors and directors in such movies as ``Jane Eyre,'' (1944) which starred Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine; ``The Enchanted Cottage,'' (1944) starring Robert Young; ``Road to Utopia'' (1945) starring Bob Hope and Bing Crosby; and Alfred Hitchcock's ``The Man Who Knew Too Much'' (1956). She appeared in ``My Little Margie'' from 1952 to 1955, playing Roberta Townsend, who was often romantically linked with Margie's father, Vernon Albright, played by Charles Farrell. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Mary Allen Rowlands, artist-actress and mother of actress Gena Rowlands Cassavetes, died Friday. She was 94. She appeared in several films with her daughter that were directed by her son-in-law, the late John Cassavetes, including ``Minnie and Moskowitz,'' ``A Woman Under the Influence'' and ``Opening Night.'' The widow of Wisconsin state Sen. Edwin Rowlands, Miss Rowlands was also known for her portrait painting. June 2, 1999 Leah Ray Werblin, 82, Vocalist, Racehorse Owner Leah Ray Werblin, one of the country's best known vocalists in the Big Band era and later, with her husband, the owner of the Elberon Farm in thoroughbred racing, died in her sleep last Thursday at her home in Rumson, N.J. She was 82. Mrs. Werblin, the former Leah Ray Hubbard of Norfolk, Va., was a singer with Tommy Dorsey, Phil Harris and other bands as Leah Ray when she met and married David "Sonny" Werblin, an agent with Music Corporation of America. They were married for more than 50 years. Sonny Werblin later became an officer of Monmouth Park race track and president of the New York Jets football team, built the Meadowlands Sports Complex and was chairman of Madison Square Garden. He and his wife raced many outstanding horses, including the 2-year-old champion Silent Screen. Sonny Werblin died on Nov. 21, 1991. He was 81. Mrs. Werblin is survived by two sons, Thomas of New York and Robert of Atlanta. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Ron Grandia" Subject: Re: (exotica) Two Rekkids Date: 03 Jun 1999 08:46:08 -0700 Oooh!

He was 73. Pierce, who repeatedly announced his retirement during the 1980s, died of cancer Monday night at his home in Toluca Lake. He was most recently seen by area audiences in 1990, when the recent death of his most famous character, Davis, led to a deluge of calls begging the flamboyant performer to return to the stage. In response to those requests, Pierce revived his one-man nightclub act, renamed it "Fasten Your Seatbelts" and took it on the road. Onstage, Pierce described the show to his audience as "The legendary ladies of the silver screen, all talking, all singing, all dancing . . . all dead." The act included Pierce's elaborately dressed West, in bouffant yellow wig, sequined gown and red boa ("I couldn't decide what to wear, so I wore everything"), delivering the line: "I feel like a million. . . . But I'll take them 10 at a time." Pierce was noted for his uncanny ability to conjure up the images of female celebrities using subtle forms of mimicry such as facial expressions and vocal inflections, rather than relying on the requisite heavy makeup and elaborate drag costumes to carry the illusion. He often demonstrated his acting skill with impressions of the screen stars doing scathing impressions of one another. In his early performing days, Pierce did not wear drag at all, appearing in a mime's black shirt and pants, using stoles, boas and hats as props. The gowns, heels and turbans did not come out of his closet until the 1960s. "High heels, falsies, makeup . . . it was considered much more outrageous at the time," Pierce said. He was also noted for occasionally improving on the original. "If he writes his own lines--and he at least passes on them--he is indeed a witty man," wrote former Times theater critic Dan Sullivan of Pierce's 1986 show, "Not a Well Woman." " 'I drink to pass the time away until I get drunk' isn't just the sort of thing that Bette [Davis] might have said in 'All About Eve'; it's funnier than anything she did say." Pierce once recalled Carol Channing's reaction to his impression of her: "By the end of the evening she was in stitches and told me, 'You do me better than I do, Charles.' " Pierce never much cared for the term "female impersonator." Nor did he want to be mistaken for a transsexual or a transvestite, explaining that after the show, he got back into his street clothes as soon as possible. "I have no ambition to be the Liberace of the drag world," he said. "Why do I have to be described as 'Charles Pierce, female impersonator?' Why not just 'Charles Pierce, actor?' " he protested in a 1988 interview. "I'm really just an actor who puts on certain costumes, generally gowns, to create female characters familiar to millions of people." Born in 1926 in Watertown, N.Y., Pierce began his acting training at age 20 at the Pasadena Playhouse, after working in high school and for several years afterward as a radio announcer. The dream of coming West began in his teens. He never planned to become a female impersonator, but the dearth of work for the aspiring actor led him to give it a try. As a nightclub act, he reasoned, he would get paid at the end of the evening, rather than at the end of the year. "You know, I'd like people who see my work to remember me as an actor--a good actor--who made his living by doing some really good impressions," he mused later in his career. "The fact that I went from rags to bitches was just one of those quirks of fate written in the stars." In a 1990 interview, Pierce told The Times that he was 14 when he began to dream of studying at the Pasadena Playhouse, after seeing an ad in Theater Arts magazine. "I was absorbed in the thought of coming to the Pasadena Playhouse to become an actor. For two years this playhouse was like an ivory tower.." After acting school, Pierce divided his time among his radio job in Watertown, summer stock theater in Newport, R.I., and the Pasadena Playhouse. By 1952, Pierce was doing monologues and stand-up comedy at the Cabaret Concert on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Eventually, he performed at the Club LaVie in Altadena, where he received his first paycheck for his impressions. "I'd use a leopard stole, a boa, a hat, but I wasn't in drag. I didn't even think about wearing drag," he said. In the early 1960s, Pierce took his act to the Echo Club in Miami Beach. Though it was illegal to cross-dress in Florida at the time, Pierce skirted the law by using minimal thrift-shop props such as a cigarette holder, or slipping on a glittering gown over his pants and shirt. After Miami, he appeared at San Francisco's Gilded Cage, where his shows played to a mostly gay clientele. Over time, his appeal began to win him a broader audience and popularity on the international nightclub circuit. In the 1990s, a few critics began to complain that his material had lost some of its outrageousness as society's standards changed. Pierce argued that it was impossible to move on from these larger-than-life performers to today's stars. He once lamented: "You can't do 10 minutes on Susan Sarandon or Carrie Fisher." No matter what actress he chose to portray, Pierce wanted his motives to be clearly understood. "I'm not doing it to be a woman," he said. "I'm doing it to be a star."

Thanks for the plug, Mo! :-) Actually it's almost 2 years ago since I got my copy of this album. A friend of mine found it in the house he bought, as part of all the stuff that the former owners had left behind. There weren't many records, but we found hundreds of old film magazines and all sort of other printed ephemera. I can assure you that I was very exciting to sift through all that stuff. > As I lack of any real comparisons I find it hard to describe the music > of "Charles Wilp photographiert Bunny".... I find the desription Mo gave very to the point. There's lush easy listening, there are groovy organs (I'm talking about musical instruments here!), sexy girls talking about their make-up, etc. The cover is also eye-catching. > I hope this doesn't sound like too much of advertizing to you all, Noooo....

Yes I know > of the many CD's including the new stuff on John Zorn's label etc. > I think one of the reasons I'm finding so few old klezmer LP's is because > there weren't that many made. Sensible eh? I meant to back up Nat on this point earlier. Klezmer was very popular in the 20's and 30's and hence shows up on many lost and forgotten 78's. The decline of Klezmer's popularity coincided with the rise of the LP format. And the klezmer "revival" didn't really get rolling until the late 70's early 80's. This is the basic reason you don't see too many klezmer LPs &45s. What you DO find however is a few of the formerly klezmer musicians cutting MiddleEastern/Belly Dance albums which was popular and modally akin to klez. You will also find many "Borscht Belt" records by Catskill bands which played to mostly vacationing NYC jews. Some of this stuff is incredible, and very very exotica related. I recently picked up a couple. One is called "Twisting the Freilach" which is basically traditional klezmer tunes to a "twist" beat. The other is a remarkable hybrid titled "Ole Oy Vey" which you can guess from the title is a melding of klezmer and mariachi!!? I was lucky enough to attend Henry Sapoznik's (THE klezmer historian) workshop on klezmer music which was a real blast.

The Lonesome Organist is my new favorite. And I'm very particular when it comes to contemporary recording artists. My quick statement is that he's like Tom Waits meets Ween. Waits in the raw low fi sound used to purposeful effect, and also a few of the vocal tracks are dead ringers. Ween in his mastery of the multi-track recording and the sly sense of humor conveyed in the variety of styles. Lonesome organist plays chord organ, marimba, steel drum, toy piano, synth, guitar, drums and a few other instruments. His new album "Cavalcade" (Thrill Jockey 67)is great but, even better is his first one "Collector of Cactus Echo Bags" (Thrill Jockey 44) It's interesting that when we talk about contemporary exotica we tend to limit the conversation to lounge bands (Lars Vegas), exotica groups (Com.Ed) or electronic/moog groups (Stereolab). To me the most interesting sub-genre of contemporary exotica is the quirky stuff such as the Lonesome Organist. Perhaps it is because the are so few people doing this sort of thing without feeling like they have to put some dance beat to it ala Montifori Cocktail.

To me the most interesting sub-genre of >contemporary exotica is the quirky stuff such as the Lonesome Organist. I'd be careful recommending the Lonesome Organist as some kind of "modern exotica". I'm sure he's been influenced by some of the same stuff that we like and I love the name itself but I think it's a stretch to put this in the lounge/exotica bag. I haven't heard the second record - which from the reviews I read, made me think I would like it better than the first one - but I suspect that most people here would find the "vocal" tunes on the first CD annoying if not unlistenable. A better comparison would be the Jon Spenser Blues Explosion rather than Tom Waits or Ween. The CD basically alternates between "carnival of souls" style organ-based instrumental pieces and fairly "aggressive", somewhat dissonant bluesy ravings in a Jon Spenser style. If that sounds like a mess that couldn't work, I'd say you're half right but it works well enough for me to occasionally play the thing. And I like Jon Spenser. But I'm sure there are millions who don't and that's why I'd hesitate before recommending this to you cats. Still, there's not much like it out there so if you're curious...

I'm sort of working in my friend's used record store these days. It's a long story but basically I'm minding the store so he'll have time to work on the soundtrack for my film. It's the kind of store with lots of cool junk but not that much officially cool stuff. He's got an Andy Williams section and a Jack Jones section and some Command records - he gets all my rejects - but very few Impulse jazz records for instance. And while he can charge ten bucks for a crooner record in good shape, he doesn't charge much more than that for those "hot" R&B or jazz "DJ records" that can go for much more here. So this dealer we both know comes in to try and sell a box of records. And he's definitely got some cool stuff. The first record up is a Gainsbourg record and there's a cool soundtrack I've never seen and this double James Brown I've never seen either. We're both kind of scared about what he's going to want for them but we grab six or seven off the top and ask him for a price and he goes through them.. 145 dollars! Yeah right. He's saying he can get 50 bucks U.S. for the Gainsbourg and something similar for the Italian soundtrack. And we're saying "Well if you can get it, go ahead then". But he's not going to get it here. We're not going to put the Gainsbourg out at that price, not in this store. I offer him ten bucks of my own money for the Italian soundtrack which OF COURSE he compares to Vampiros Lesbos. He "needs" twenty. It turns out though that he wants to buy a few records himself so in the end my friend offers him a few records and a bit of cash for the Italian soundtrack, as a gift to me. Which I appreciated. But I would have been just as happy to see the guy walk out of there emptyhanded so I had mixed feelings. I've played it now. It was sealed so that's always cool to play a new record. "Seven Golden Men". Soundtrack by Armando Trovajoli. Looks like it's a heist movie. Not even close to Vampiros. Way more like a Mancini-style quasi "crime jazz" thing. Lots of whistling and wordless female vocal choirs. It's a worthy addition to my collection but I wish I'd gotten it under different circumstances. So is this some kind of "identified" item in the Italian soundtrack world?

Italian job or Italian Job? Sorry for the apparently dumb question, but whenever Job is in capital letters it's ambiguous? And sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly IS "The Italian Job?" btw that's another reason I'm here, to find out more about exotic stuff. Have a good one!

I can't believe this is on the exotica list. The Pussycat Caverns is a legendary club that occasionally was open years ago in the bywater a very mysterious section of New Orleans by the river. Bands like the "Gas Tank Orchestra" who played discarded automobile gas tanks would play at this club.

Think about past Quirky records like Billy Mure, Dean Elliott or even the wackier Ferrante & Teicher. You also misinterpret my use of the term "Exotica" as in the general term that drives this list not the exotica of bird calls etc. With this in mind calling the Lonesome Organist contemporary exotica is not "a stretch" but dead on accurate. > > I haven't heard the second record - which from the reviews I read, made me > think I would like it better than the first one - but I suspect that most > people here would find the "vocal" tunes on the first CD annoying if not > unlistenable.

One compares things to what they know. I know Ween and Waits and never heard Jon Spencer yet I would hesitate to drew the blues comparison. Sure there are a few "rocked out" tracks on this recording but, rock, though mostly based on the blues is not the blues. The blues moniker also distracts from the non rock material which is anything but blues.

Try "Folk Arts Rare Records" on 3611 Adams Ave. Verry (with two r's) savvy owner by the name of Lou Curtiss. Here is an article he wrote: http://www.gothere.com/AdamsAve/BusAssn/RootsFestival/article.htm Don't bother with his singles, they are stuffed in a drawer and not in great condition, (some of his LPs are not in great condition) but he has an unbelievable selection of a lot of things and his knowledge is beyond question. Prices are good, too. ...and from an e-mail from a fellow on another list I belong to... "Off the record in the college area is now called "Entertainment Exchange" and run by Curtis from Missouri, a slew of Missourians moved our to San Diego back in the late 80's to catch the last TThearts lineup and get out of Missouri. He has great musical taste and has turned that location into a hip store. Lots of good reissues etc. The other 5th ave location is still the same and has decent used lp's although a bit overpriced (me thinks). Nickelodeon records on Adams (Near Normal Heights sign) is pretty cool and has a good array of records.

The "Italian Job" is a movie featuring Michael Caine and Noel Coward.

He was 49. Braithwaite was one of two men shot to death by unidentified gunmen. He is the second Wailer to die in this manner. Peter Tosh was shot and killed at his Kingston home in 1987. Marley died of cancer in 1981. The musician recently returned to his Caribbean homeland from Chicago, where he had lived for more than 20 years. He had been attempting to revive the singing career that he gave up when he left the Wailers in 1966. Along with Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and Beverly Kelso, Braithwaite formed the original Wailers in Kingston in the early 1960s. He sang on the group's 1965 breakthrough hit ``It Hurt To Be Alone.'' LOS ANGELES, June 3 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office has determined that skeletal remains found at the bottom of a Southern California canyon were those of Iron Butterfly bassist Philip ``Taylor'' Kramer, who had been missing more than four years. Coroner's spokesman Scott Carrier says investigators matched the remains today with Kramer's dental records, but haven't been able to determine how he died. Kramer's remains were found last Saturday in his 1993 green Ford Aerostar van by two hikers who were shooting photographs of abandoned vehicles in a canyon about 2 miles east of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Kramer, who lived in nearby Thousand Oaks, was last heard from Feb. 12, 1995, when he called his wife and a friend on his cell phone while driving to Los Angeles International Airport. Kramer joined Iron Butterfly when the band reformed in 1975. The group is probably best known for its 1969 album ``In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,'' which was a top 10 record for 81 weeks. MALIBU, Calif. (AP) -- The Los Angeles County coroner has identified remains found in a ravine as those of former Iron Butterfly bass player Philip ``Taylor'' Kramer, who disappeared four years ago. The skeletal remains were positively identified Thursday using dental records, said Scott Carrier, a spokesman with the coroner's office. The cause of death had not yet been determined. Hikers found the remains last Saturday inside a wrecked van in the bottom of a ravine. The van matched the description of the vehicle Kramer was driving when he disappeared on Feb. 12, 1995, while driving to the airport to pick up a friend. Kramer was 42 when he disappeared. The musician joined Iron Butterfly in 1975 during an attempt to revive the group, which had several incarnations with various band members. The band's most famous song was the 17-minute ``In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida'' in 1969. Kramer later worked in the aerospace industry and at the time of his disappearance, was chief technology officer at Total Multimedia. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) Hong Kong Fooey Date: 04 Jun 1999 17:03:31 +0100 Does anybody know where I can get hold of the Hong kong Kooey (spelling?) theme tune from?

According to the caption, it was taken on a movie studio backlot. Her makeup doesn't look quite so pancakey in the original photo; that got slightly exaggerated in the scan process.

New Radio Fantastica's From Johan, plus a special submission from our beloved BasicHip are the treats I am planning for your ears if you tune into FeelthyMonkey Radio. Fantastica is up and running right now - BasicHip will be streaming by tonight. I have some submissions From Jack Diamond, Brian and Cheryl's AMAZING Space Bop, as well as a nifty mix from Charles Moseley which I hope to have streaming by Monday... HooooEEE! All are pretty amazing - wish I was organized enough to post corresponding playlists for everybody cuz they are GREAT... all of 'em. Johan has all of his playlists online, and I indicate what show is currently playing, so you can follow the link I provide and sing along. Space Bop is a recorded radio program which is dutifully back-announced (God bless 'em) Jack back announces too, So I guess that leaves BasicHip, who posted his list here on the Exotica list. (Ford, I don't have a digital copy - be a peach and repost that for the nice people?) Go to http://xtabay.com/feelthyradio.htm and click on the link to listen. Please be sure to send some email letting me know how it sounds, if there are problems tuning-in, etc... You need winamp to make it happen - Get it at http://www.winamp.com. Any Sonique users out there? I am trying a new versioin of the server software - I am wondering if the show-titles and all that appear in info window like it does for Winamp. There are also MANY great other stations out there... go to http://www.shoutcast.com and give 'em a listen - See what AOL just paid 400 Millon to control! Over and out...

Well here goes your official Nat-olicious introduction. . >The three suns "happy go lucky sound" >"so refreashing" It's hard to talk definitively about the Suns but I'd say there are two or three must-have's, a few keepers and then you get into the more vague territory where you have to love them to keep the records. Or let's put it this way. If you want to convince someone what's great about the Three Suns, there are a lot of records that make that task difficult. Anyway I call this one a "keeper". Not their best but not their worst by far. >>The Walter Wanderley Trio "Cheganca" >promo lp on verve...very chic! Good record. Nice and minimal and of course, Bobby Rosengarden. > >Sandy Nelson "Let there be drums" IM lp. >(i'd like info on this lp and artist) Well this is really why I'm responding to this post, being the one who has raved about Sandy Nelson so often in the past. I have this record. I love Sandy Nelson. I don't love this record. There are early Sandy Nelson records and "later" ones. This is one of the earlier ones and I much much prefer the later ones. The earlier ones like this one, feature early rock and big band-type tunes, fairly simple arrangements and long, long passages of fairly simple drumming. The later ones are "classic" instrumental rock, very much in the Ventures tradition and though occasionally you still get those long, long drum passages, there's much more going on than on this record. Or maybe I just prefer covers of songs like "Hey Joe", "I don't need no doctor" and "Going up the country" to stuff like "Big Noise from Winetka". >Henri Rene & Orch "Riot in rhythm >(Man it swings!) RCA mono Good score! Now you have to find "Compulsion to Swing" (But you're collecting the classics for sure.) >Dick Schory's percussion pops orch >"Supercussion" RCA "Dynagroove >The magnificent new sound by RCA! Another classic "building block" in your basic exotica/lounge collection. But now you have to get "Wild Percussion", "Music for Bang, Barroom and Harp" and "Running Wild". Then again, I'm assuming you don't have those records. Who am I to assume? I'm just making an ass of u and me. >Kai Winding "Penny lane & Time"verve >(Terrifyingly delightfull) Shit, one I don't have. Does he play Ondioline on this one? I'm jealous. >Tak Shindo "Brass and Bamboo" >(Exciting big band tunes fused with delicate >sounds of the orient!) Capitol rec. Damn, another true classic. This was a hell of a flea market. Almost seems like some of us here have had. You didn't also get "Zounds What Sounds" too, didja? >and the lp ive been looking for after 3 years... >SOUNDS IN SPACE RCA stereo demonstration disk!!! (a true stereophonic >record) Well that's a classic for some. It even demands collector's prices somewhere. All for a few spoken-word intros by the great jazz poet Ken Nordine, doing his day job. Still, all in all, a few more flea market days like that one and you'll be the envy of all or of me at least.

This is a bongos/flutes/hammond soundtrack with an exotica/jungle flavour. Lots of chanting and tribal drumming - very very cool indeed. Unfortunately, this copy is knackered but still plays OK (just). The Mirza Men - The Beatles in LA. This is a Beatles covers LP by a very big sounding latin orchestra with a lot of wild, frenzied percussion. All tunes are hyperactive swinging full orchestra renditions with bongos, tom toms, congas, etc etc. An excellent LP. I also spend a couple of hours at a record fair in Dulwich yesterday morning but soon lost the will to live after trawling through stall after stall full of absolute crap.

He was 83. The radio show ``Educating Archie'' served as a launching pad for many comics and actors, most notably Julie Andrews, a regular on the British Broadcasting Corp. show as a child. Brough was a favorite of the royal family, playing at Royal Variety Performances and organizing the Windsor Castle staff ball for many years. After performing for King George VI and the princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, the trio asked for the dummy's head to be taken off while they had a good look at the controls. Brough retired from show business in the 1960s and went on to run a textile business. *Ernie Wilkins COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- American-born composer and saxophonist Ernie Wilkins, who played with Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Lionel Hampton, died Saturday of a stroke. He was 79. Born Ernest Brooks Wilkins Jr. in St. Louis, he got his big break in 1951 when trumpeter Clark Terry recommended him to Count Basie. In the late 1950s, Wilkins joined Dizzy Gillespie's band, and later went on to write for Tommy Dorsey and Lionel Hampton. Though Wilkins won wide acclaim for arranging and composing, he never lost his love for playing sax. In the 1960s, he and Terry recorded ``One Foot in the Gutter,'' which features a four-minute solo by Wilkins. Wilkins moved to Copenhagen in 1980 and started his own orchestra, ``Ernie Wilkins and his Almost Big Band.'' He also was guest conductor with several other bands. The list of musicians he worked with included Earl Hines, Sonny Rollins, Milt Jackson, Sarah Vaughn, Lena Horne and Quincy Jones. Wilkins retired in 1991 after suffering a stroke. *Bruno Caravaggi NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Bruno Caravaggi, co-owner of Quo Vadis, one of New York's trendiest Continental restaurants for almost 40 years, died May 30. He was 83. Caravaggi and Gino Robusti opened Quo Vadis on East 63rd Street between Madison and Park avenues in 1946. The restaurant, decorated with columns, red velvet and Italian mosaics, became a favorite of Jacqueline Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Truman Capote and Nat King Cole, among others. Caravaggi and Robusti wore tuxedos at the restaurant every night and expected their male diners to sport jackets and ties. The partners sold the restaurant in 1982 but returned to run it a year later after the new owners filed for bankruptcy.

(AP) -- Randolph Bullock, a curator emeritus of arms and armor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, died May 28. He was 96. Bullock helped build the museum's collection in the 40 years he worked there. One of his most important contributions was the design of the arms and armor installation that opened in the museum's J.P. Morgan wing in 1956. Arms and armor previously had no permanent home in the museum. The armor installation contains a group of four equestrian knights posed with their lances extended, as though they are preparing to charge at the enemy. Bullock supervised the installation of the knights in the 1920s. Their popularity led to his appointment as curator of the department. As curator, Bullock helped acquire a rare Louis XIII hunting gun for the museum. See also: http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/obit-bullock.html June 7, 1999 Paul S. Newman, 75, Prolific Comic-Book Writer (NYTimes) Paul S. Newman, who was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most prolific comic-book writer of all time, died on May 30 in Columbia, Md. He was 75. The cause was a heart attack, said his son, Peter. Newman's stories included scripts for Superman, Mighty Mouse, Twilight Zone and Star Trek comic books. He wrote stories in every comic-book genre -- humor, horror, romance and science fiction among them. He even wrote comic books about things usually not thought of as comic books, like "Leave It to Beaver" and "I Love Lucy." Starting in 1947, he wrote more than 4,100 stories totaling some 36,000 pages, the equivalent of 120 mystery novels, eventually writing for more than 350 comic-book titles. In 1993 the comic-book historian Robin Snyder named him King of the Comic Book Writers after a three-year search for the most prolific writer in that field. Newman was born in New York in 1924 and after high school enrolled at Dartmouth College. He served in three theaters of war during World War II and then returned to Dartmouth, where a play he wrote as a homework assignment became the first original play staged by the Dartmouth Players. Play-writing remained his real love, but he soon found he could make a living by churning out stories for comic books. He would make up an entire story, panel by panel, describing each drawing for an artist to follow. Then he wrote the dialogue. In addition to writing comic books, he wrote five newspaper comic strips, "The Lone Ranger," "Smokey the Bear," "Space Cadets," "Robin Malone" and "Laugh In" and branched out into screenplays and television sketches for such stars as Boris Karloff. In addition to his son, of Easton, Pa., he is survived by his wife, Carol, of Columbia; a daughter, Lisa Newman of Goshen, Mass.; two grandchildren, three stepdaughters and five step-grandchildren.

There are track names but no artist names on the LP, so I can't tell what films the tracks are from or who they're by. There are a few funky tracks and one bizarre comedy electronic funky track, mixed with some light orchestral drivel. All in all, its not a bad compliation but seems to lack any conceptual theme.

He was 73. Torme, who had suffered what was described as a mild stroke in August 1996, died of complications from that stroke after being rushed from his Beverly Hills home to the University of California, Los Angeles, medical center, said his publicist, Rob Wilcox. Torme's wife, Ali, and five children were at his side when he died, Wilcox said. Torme received a lifetime achievement award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences at February's Grammy Awards. Besides his singing and prolific song-writing, Torme's career included acting in movies and on television, where he drew fresh attention in the late 1980s on ``Night Court'' as the musical hero of main character Judge Harold T. Stone, played by Harry Anderson. ``What a remarkable guy. What a one of a kind. It's a tremendous loss. He was fabulous guy, great sense of humor, as sweet as an elf,'' Anderson said Saturday. He recalled one episode in which his character said of tickets to a Torme concert: ``Woodstock was just a concert, this is Mel Torme.'' ``I humbly put forth that Mel and I had the best musical marriage in many a year,'' said pianist George Shearing, who won two Grammy awards with Torme. ``We literally breathed together during our countless performances. As Mel put it, `We were two bodies of one musical mind.''' ``He was a very special talent, one of the most talented individuals in our business,'' said singer Vic Damone. ``A composer, musician, arranger. He was so very bright.'' ``He was one of the supreme jazz singers of all time, with the vocal dexterity matched only by Ella Fitzgerald. He had the best sense of timing and a lot of heart in his work. And he was a good guy,'' said singer Jack Jones. ``I've lost a wonderful friend,'' said comedian Jerry Lewis. ``There could never be anyone to replace Mel, not only as a singer but as a dear friend.'' Even people who had heard little of his singing could not miss his other claim to musical immortality: He was co-author of the lyrics and music to ``The Christmas Song'' -- ``Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose.'' The song was a huge hit for Nat ``King'' Cole in 1946 and has been recorded by countless other singers, including Torme himself. Torme, who began his singing career on radio at age 4, preferred jazz singing to the crooning that brought him his nickname. ``It really wasn't until the end of my high school days, in 1943, that I determined to be a jazz singer,'' he says. ``Then I got sidetracked. (His manager) felt the way to the gold was for me to become a crooner. ``For a long period I was singing mushy, sentimental songs. I began to be called the Velvet Fog. I never liked it.'' He said he was rescued by a recording executive who heard a bit of jazz in his style and urged him in that direction. He saw his vocal career as a work in progress, ``a long learning curve.'' Listening to recordings in a box CD set on his career, he said: ``The early songs are kind of callow. I cringe a little bit at them.'' He was his own arranger for much of his career, played piano and other instruments, acted in a few Hollywood films, had a TV talk show for a while in the '50s, and had his occasional appearances on ``Night Court,'' where Judge Stone kept a photo of Torme in his office. He was nominated for a best supporting actor Emmy in 1956 for a role in ``The Comedian,'' a Playhouse 90 production. He wrote some 300 songs, more than half, including ``Born To Be Blue'' and ``The Christmas Song,'' with Robert Wells. When people would ask why he kept singing old songs, Torme said they're simply better than new songs: ``When young rock singers began writing their own, they displaced the community of songwriters who worked with grace, wit, charm, intelligence and brilliance. ``Absolutely the lyric to me is 95 percent of what a song is. The singer is portraying a playlet to the audience, involving the audience in what he is saying. If the melody is attractive, that's frosting on the cake. The lyric is the cake.'' At 70, he said he maintained his vocal strength by taking care of himself: no smoking, only an occasional glass of wine, careful avoidance of drafts. ``Before I sing I force myself to have seven or eight hours of sleep. I can sing acceptably well on six hours. There is that little grade of difference between six hours and eight hours.'' In a 1994 concert at Carnegie Hall, he joked about his age. In ``You Make Me Feel So Young,'' the 68-year-old Torme sang: ``You know that age is just a number,'' then interjected ``If I could really believe that.'' Torme is survived by his wife and five children -- Steve, Melissa, Tracy, Daisy, and James. Memorial services were not immediately announced. From Mel Torme's autobiography ``It Wasn't All Velvet'': ``I have always felt that the `reading' of a lyric by a singer is concomitant with the reading of good poetry. One doesn't rattle off the lines, singsong style, merely to serve the rhyming. The `reason,' the natural sense of the lyric lines, (is) of paramount importance, as far as I'm concerned.'' ------ (After working with Marilyn Monroe on a song and skit they did together): ``She walked to the end of the hallway. The elevator came. She turned toward me and said, `I mean it. I love you.' Then she was gone. I knew she did not mean `I love you' in any literal sense. She was in love with DiMaggio. She `loved' me for treating her like something more than a glossily packaged piece of meat. For taking the time to help make her look good in front of a large audience. For caring about what she read and thought and felt.'' ------ (On a career slump in the 1960s): ``There comes a time when, with your hopes unfulfilled and your expectations diminished, you begin to think, `Is this all there is?' ... Trouble is, giving in means giving up, at least to me it does. I always believed there were better times a-comin' for what I still doggedly called `my career.'''

I wish the world would mourn Mel half as much as it did Frank. In my record collection world, he's a hell of a lot more important. Go out and find a copy of "Coming Home Baby", the record he did with Claus Ogerman. And if you want cool sixties covers which elevate the tunes rather than making them into jokes, find "A Time for Us" or "Raindrops..." I never much went for his recent Concorde records so it's not like I'll miss his new records but still it's sad. Glad Vic Damone is still around. Who's going to eulogize him though? Steve Lawrence I guess.

As you probably know, Les Baxter was a member of Mel Torme's Mel-Tones for a time. There are some recent CD reissues of Mel-Tones material from the '40s. "There's No One But You" has a pic of the Tones on the cover, including a VERY young-looking Les Baxter. Sadly, only about half the tunes ont he CD actually feature the Mel-Tones(!). The rest are Mel solo. Another good one to pick up (so far, no CD reissue so you'd have to seek it out on vinyl, most recent issue in the '70s on Discovery) is Mel's "California Suite", which features the Mel-Tones (including Les Baxter) throughout. A track from "California Suite" is included in our Retro Cocktail Hour tribute to Les Baxter -- hear it in RealAudio at the website, program #169.

There's a great store here in Austin whose owner claims to have shirts available nowhere else on the Mainland -- visit Atomic City if SXSW or a BBQ quest brings you to Central Texas. Sizes run from S - XXL, with a good selection in each size. These shirts are pricey -- $60 and up for rayon and $80 and up for silk -- but worth it. Damn, they are gorgeous! And Ben, have seen some with tikis as well as Hawaiian cocktails, the sea or its fishes, island maps, dragons, etc. The labels include Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Traditions for repros of vintage patterns, Diamond Head Sportswear, and Joe Kealuha's. My honey's Joe Kealuha looks to be a vintage repro with Cuban designs: cigars ad cigar bands, pink Spanish colonial hotels, Panama hats, and the words "mambo" and "Havana" in Deco-era type. One of my favorite vintage dresses is a little Hawaiian number with Japanese scrolls, unfurled, black characters on white with glittery gold seals on a turquoise background, a full skirt swirling out from a gathered bustier. Very 1959. I wear it with a turquoise pillbox hat..., elegant! List women, what Hawaiian treasures lurk in your closets? Gentlemen, wear your Hawaiian shirts with pride and know women like me think you look sexy and intriguing.

This struck me in the eye for 2 reasons: 1: long time Sam Beckett fan. 2: Dirt cheap. Most of the titles are titles of SB plays or reference them (Das Letzte Band, The Warten, Lucky, Pozzo, etc.); one Robert Schumann cover. I've only sampled it on the cranky in-car player, but what I've heard so far leads me to believe I am going to like it: some noirish minimalist jazz pieces, electronics and sampling mixed in with brass, some vocals. Anyone have any information on this band (ie: other releases, band history, ...)? The line-up, incidentally is Phil Menton (who looks old enough to have worked with SB): Vocals - Trumpet Ulrike Haage: Sequencer Program; Muta-Soundsamples; keyboards; Fluege (flugel horn?

First lp in 1969. Schoolteacher for arts 1975-78. Installations, drawings, performances, photos, videos, paintings etc. from 1953 on." - http://www.arcananet.org/composers/AlfredHarth/index.html. He def. does not look that old. John Menton is described as a "british improv singer" Ulrike Haage does time in an outfit called The Rainbirds. FM Einheit is/was with Einsturzende Neubaten (explains why he's on metal, stones and sand, I guess). I should have caught this one. His band mate, Blixa Bargeld, is also in The Bad Seeds whose Mick Harvey is releasing his covers of serge Gainsbourg songs. Which yeans another question - anyone heard these? Recommend?

But this week I've had a couple of entertaining glimpses of new horizions. . . Guided by the excellent 8-Track FAQ at: http://www.8trackheaven.com/faq.html , I finally picked up a good Panasonic 8-track player. . . it's actually Quadraphonic-ready! (It is. . . but I'm not, being short two amplifier channels. But I suppose I could improvise something.) Anyway, pretty much my sole reason for getting this deck was to play the Mystic Moods Orchestra's _Love The One You're With_ tape that I've had sitting on the shelf for a couple years now--just taunting me and making me crazy with curiosity. Well. . . it turns out that that one wasn't particularly worth the wait: Just your basic string-led soft rock, although there was a discreet bit of harpsichord and sitar noodling in a few tracks. The main point of interest is all the watery sound effects in the background--which made Margaret come into the room and ask, are these guys playing in a storm sewer? I think this may have come up before, but has anyone else out there found exotica-relevant stuff on 8-Track tape? The other eye-opener was when I happened to be doing some web research and stumbled onto one of those annoying web sites which automatically launches MIDI files for each page. Then I got to this one: http://www.michigan-online.com/Intl_09.mid , and I just started giggling. . . [ It's 11k of infectiously dippy Casio-styled Bossa Nova.] And it suddenly hit me: the MIDI "clip music" that people are dropping into their web pages and multimedia projects--it's becoming the Library Music of the 90s.

Blacula soundtrack by Gene Page (razor and tie) great blaxploitation soundtrack. you've seen the movie. experience the music. good stuff. any other gene page soundtracks i should be aware of? Sweet Trip "halica" (darla) i think this band is from San Fran. very nice, smooth, trippy, mellow electronics. this is from 1998. don't know what else they've released. v/a "move to groove: the best of 1970's jazz-funk" (verve) very packed comp for sure. lots of stuff that's new to me. but i'm pretty jazz-ignorant. it is jazzy and it is funky. and it is somewhat pricey. but it's a 2 cd set. this was a blind purchase that i think was worth it. any other recommendations on funky early 70's fusiony sort of stuff? artists include: ahmad jamal, roy ayers, chico hamilton, mandril, kool and gang, j.b.'s, hugh masekela, more... one thing i found in burbank thrift store recently: korla pandit "speak to me of love" red vynil. good condition. great cover. but the music... snooooooze. i'll probably keep it just cos it's nice to have, but i don't think i'll listen to it much. why is love so boring on these types of albums? ciao, kevin # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: kevin@astsoft.com (kevin leeeeee) Subject: (exotica) request for reviews Date: 07 Jun 1999 17:28:28 -0700 (PDT) hi again, i'm working on a web page devoted to new/recent stuff in the exotica-friendly vein. to give you an idea: fantastic plastic machine, pizzicatto five, dimitri from paris, april march, tipsy, etc. etc... you know what i mean. and i'm looking for people who are interested in contributing little reviews/profiles of artists and or particular albums, fitting in with this sort of thing. ultimately, i'd like it to be a resource for people, like me, who want to keep up with new releases and these types of bands that are so hard to find out about unless you just happen to "know". i've talked with a few of you already, so if any of you are interested, please let me know. kevin@astsoft.com thanks! kevin # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BasicHip@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) san diego finds, recent finds Date: 07 Jun 1999 20:45:18 EDT Kevin leeeeeeeeeeeeeeee: <> nothing like this one...all i could dig up were Brewster McCloud and was in on the Silencers as conductor. <> the only way to truly appreciate korla pandit is to see the actual television program he had in the 1950's. only then will you get the full effect. you'll also see what a talent he is as he plays his organ and piano AT THE SAME TIME.

"Vic Shoen and his Corcavado Trumpets" along with "The Girls from Ipanema". And the record is called "Girls with Brass" (on Mainstream). It has great quasi-TJB versions of tunes like "Turn Turn Turn" with female choirs singing bits of chorus and such. It also has a few cool originals by Vic himself, my favourite being a tune called "Yeah yeah" which would have made a great theme song for a fake hippy movie. It's cheesy in all the right ways.

I can't say enough about Gabor but I think the only important thing to know is that he covered "Some Velvet Morning". I wish I could explain why I love him. Though I love guitar rock instrumentals like the Ventures, I'm generally bored by "legitimate" jazz guitarists, even when they cover pop tunes. Somehow Gabor transcends all that. He also has some great sitarish moments. He's jazzy, poppy and dare I say "modal" at the same time.

Stop right there. Go no further. Enjoy the CD and buy other things if and when you see them. But do NOT go out looking for this stuff. First of all, you'll have to kiss a lot of frogs to find the best stuff and in general - if we're talking LP's - even the frogs will be ridiculously expensive. (Also, "jazz-funk" or funky jazz or whatever, is a hopelessly general term that often includes stuff that's either not jazz or not funk or neither jazz nor funk. Same with "rare groove" while we're at it.) A somewhat cheaper but similar "genre" is organ combos.

Well that's not so true here but anyway... Latest "soft pop" soft rock, mucho harmony and quasi-psychedelics aquisition: THE SPLIT LEVEL "Divided we Stand" from 1968 on Dot Records.

He worked for a number of singers and entertainers through the 1940s and 1950s, including Dinah Shore, Bing Crosby, and Danny Kaye. He led bands backing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters on their hit recordings of "Pistol Packin' Mama," "Don't Fence Me In," and "South America, Take It Away!" and wrote the title song for Kaye's movie, "The Court Jester." Schoen married singer Marion Hutton during this period, and the couple moved to Los Angeles, where he continued to work for radio and recording studios. In the 1950s, he moved into television work, providing the arrangements and occasionally conducting the stage bands for specials starring Pat Boone, Bing Crosby, Ethel Merman, and Andy Williams. He also arranged and conducted some prime space-age bachelor pad albums from RCA's Stereo Action. While musical director for "The Big Record" TV series, he and bandleader Les Brown conceived of a suite for two big bands that he and Brown later recorded on the album Impact! Schoen also arranged two albums for Bobby Shad's Mainstream label featuring a bossa nova-wannabe ensemble known as the Corcovado Trumpets.

His crooning sounds as though he'd rather be in a musical than recording pop songs. Very monologue-like. But the music combined with his vocal stylings, makes this a strange and enjoyable lp: brass, harpsichord, bongos (Willie Rodriguez), vibes (Harry Breuer), guitar (Al Cassiameti [sp?]). It's on the Mala label. I should jot down some of the jacket notes: pretty funny stuff. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He was 79 and lived in Copenhagen. The cause was complications from a stroke, said his wife, Jenny. Born in St. Louis, Wilkins studied music at Wilberforce University in Ohio. During a stint in the military, he played in a band led by Willie Smith and was soon playing in Earl Hines' last big band, for which he was also writing. Wilkins composed a great deal of music, but he could also tailor the pieces of others to the talents of whatever band he was working with. This was especially obvious in the New Testament Basie band (representing the second great stretch of its leader's creativity), which Wilkins was invited to join in 1951, on the recommendation of the trumpeter Clark Terry. As a member of the band until the late 50s, Wilkins reworked versions of "One O'Clock Jump," "Every Day I Have the Blues" and "Corner Pocket," making them some of the most famous tunes in the group's repertory. His arrangements were precise and exuberant, made of interlocking riffs and strong ensemble passages. Wilkins "had a lot to do with how the band began to sound," Basie wrote in his memoir, "Good Morning Blues." In 1956 Wilkins performed in and wrote arrangements for a Dizzy Gillespie band that toured the Middle East and South America. In the 1960s he wrote for bands led by Harry James, Terry and his brother, the trombonist Jimmy Wilkins. In the early 1970s he entered the record business, heading the artists and repertory division of the Mainstream label. He also wrote a choral suite in 1975 called "Four Black Immortals," which was performed at Town Hall and Avery Fisher Hall in New York. He moved to Cophenhagen in 1980 and promptly started the 13-piece Almost Big Band, which drew on the talent of other American expatriates in Denmark, including the pianist Kenny Drew, the saxophonist Sahib Shihab and the drummer Ed Thigpen. Wilkins conducted and played saxophone for the Almost Big Band and wrote entirely new music for it. The band recorded four albums on the Steeplechase label, and stayed together until Wilkins suffered a stroke in 1991 that forced him to retire. His last record, with the Danish Radio Big Band, was "Suite for Jazz Band," on the Hep label. Besides his wife and his brother, of Las Vegas, Nev., Wilkins is survived by his stepchildren, Charlotte and Thomas, both of Copenhagen.

All I had before were their two 45's: Walk Away Rene and Pretty Ballerina. There is something that seems almost like Baroque pop for me about them. Or maybe its the depressing attitutde of the music I pick up, though not all their songs are this way. That brings up the Zombies later albums and especially Colin Blunstone's solo work. His cds are available cheap for cds and they really are excellent soft pop ballads, love songs with that voice of his. I was listening to Nuggets the other night and it came to a screeching halt in style when the Mojo Men sang "Sit Down I Think I Love You" and the next couple of songs. I have been looking at the Billboard charts 1965-1968 and have been amazed at the number of soft pop songs on the charts. It was almost like a war between the style of music back then. Garage music doing well, rock by bands like the Stones and straight ahead pop songs or pop ballads hitting the charts. But always, especially in 67 and 68 there were these soft sunshiny pop songs ready to invade the pop charts. Anyway it seems that soft pop ought to get its do from Rhino or or whoever. Any cdr or minidisc is a welcome first step. Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck --- Jill Mingo wrote: > > Also, I can't recall if anyone has mentioned the Left Banke here.

I don't think Edmundo Ros participated in the Arthur Murray Series on= Capitol. There were nine records in the series including the "sampler" called "Dance Set" T281. All featured a colorful cover with dancers doing a characteristic step from the featured dance. Among the participating artists: Chuy Reyes(Rhumba), Billy May(Mambo and Foxtrots), Francis Scott(Waltzes), Enric Madriguera (Samba)(all on the Dance Set album), Les Baxter (the Modern Waltzes album), Ray Anthony (The Swing Fox Trots). I am not sure who does the Tangos album. T 259 Rhumbas T 548 Modern Waltzes T 261 Mambos Collect all 9! (I have only four...but one of them came with the FREE Arthur Murray Dance Lessons Certificate, redeemable at any Arthur Murray Dance Studio around the country!) Of course, this wasn't the only such series around, although it seems like the first. Not to be out done, Mr. Murray's leading competitor in the dog eat dog world of dance studios, Fred Astaire, hooked arms with RCA for a series called Perfect for Dancing. All I have is the Mambos album, LPM 1067. This one features Tito Rodriguez, Tito Puente, Aldemaro Romero, Noro Morales, Toney Martinez and Perez Prado. And, just to prove he wasn't up for the fight, Arthur Murray showed up a few years later for the Living Stereo series on RCA with his "Music for Dancing" series done by "The Arthur Murray TV Dance Orchestra." LSP-1909 (presumably the first of the series from August 1958) is conducted by Bill Stegmeyer and has everything from Fox Trots to Rock 'n' Roll, accompanied by those ever cryptic foot imprints (one-two-three!). Just to show you how long Arthur Murray has been in the game, those illustrations were copyrighted 1938 and 1959! Also there was the Waltz album LSP 2153, Fox Trot 2154, Cha Cha 2155 and a Latin album from 1959 with Mambo, Rumba, Samba, Tango and Merengue...this time the Orchestra directed by Ray Carter. Anyone else care to dance this number?

A 60s vocal quintet from Germany on MPS was "The Rosy Singers"; two of their pieces appear on the ultra-soft, mega-easy double compilation-CD "Snowflakes" on Motor. The German Marina-label ( http://www.marina.com ) has put out quite some new CDs that could be filed under "soft pop", the latest being "The Young Picnickers" by "The Pearlfishers". You could say Marina is leading in the contemporary field of this genre. Other names they feature are "The Pale Fountains", "Wallpaper", "Tomorrow's World", "Adventures in Stereo", and of course "Love Letter", the new group-ID of none less than Simon Fisher-Turner, aka "The King of Luxembourg", who not only recorded an amazing version of "Barbarella", but much much more. "Songs for Marshmallow-lovers" is a good intro-compilation for the Marina-label, the label of exquisit cover-designs. I happen to have the last 10 copies of it. I could send one for, say, 15$ incl. oversea-postage, exclusively for anyone interested from the Exotica-list. On it you also find an incredible soft-sexy song called "I'm a Kitten" by "Fantasic Everlasting Gobstopper".

Excellent version of Jalousie the rest is more or less for Baxter completionists (or tango completionists I guess). > Collect all 9! This series originally came out on 10" and then was later reissued with different covers. The Original covers (10' & LP) had a painting of a couple dancing, wearing the appropriate garb for whatever dance the album featured. The later issue, which I like much better feature a photo of similarly dresses couples on a flat color background with those "cryptic footprint" dance steps running up the center of the album! Excellent graphic layout. So assuming that each issued series ran all 9 there are actually 27 records to collect! Later on RCA Arthur Murray joined in on taking advantage of the teen dance craze issuing an Arthur Murray's Music for Dancing : Twist, featuring King Curtis Combo. This album rocks, ( I can't believe I said that ) an excellent King Curtis album. Murray also did a Discotheque Dance Party with songs to do the Frug, Mashed Potato. Wobble,Ska, Hully Gully, etc. The music is by Victor Gerard and also The Hip City Five - read studio hacks could be Caiola on guitar. And not to be forgotten is the album where Murray gives spoken instruction while you try to stumble along to the music.

And as I reveled in the No-Fi splendor I wondered if by chance any on on the list has any clues to who the guitarist for this group was. I encourage everyone to check out the Mexicali Brass if only to listen up for this phenomenal player. OK, I may be going out on a limb, as usual, but I'll be damned if I've ever heard this guitar tone in anyone else's style and having ventured pretty heavily into the whole garage/surf genre to which this mystery guitarists style is more akin, that says a lot. I've gone on in the past for my love of the Lo-Fi or No-Fi, so let me just say that the Mexicali Brass is my measuring stick when it comes to this particular studio sound. You gotta appreciate the flat fart-tone of that guitar. It's not just the sound either, this guitarist has a style that defies description. He's (or She?) in a brass band so the guitar is either in the background or up front during the breaks, of course the nature of these recordings there is no "background" per se since it sounds as if they are playing in a cardboard box and recorded with only one microphone. In any event, the guitar has a just one or two breaks in a song so he's gotta make the best of it and he puts sooo much emphasis that it's almost like he's trying too hard. Ever watch an olympic ice skater who attempts a maneuver then stumbles and recovers and you suddenly realize that that spectacular recovery was more exciting than the maneuver? That's the guitarist for the Mexicali Brass.

Are you delighted by the idea of "an occult language taught to amphibians by fish but kept secret from humans"? Can you approach the sentence "I read aloud Bhaskar Chandavarkar's comments on Ritwik Ghatak" with anything other than extreme trepidation? Even (perhaps especially) if your answer to these questions is not in the affirmative, David Toop's Exotica sets out to open your ears to another world. It explores the 20th century's guilty fascination with the exotic, especially in music. Toop takes us to a magical place of singing insects and bustin' bongos, where the demonic ukulele of George Formby mingles with the haunting cry of the Antillean grackle and the character of each sound is enhanced rather than muffled by such bizarre juxtapositions. As he plots a compellingly serpentine course from the colonial exhibitions of the late-Victorian era to the "world music" industry of 100 years later, Toop celebrates a century of sonic otherness. Grouped in a pyramid on the opening page is a series of rather daunting italicised phrases ("an imagined quality of elsewhere" being, by some distance, the most resonant), presumably intended to introduce the notion of what we mean by the exotic. It's a rather unpromising opening, all mouth and no trousers; but turn into the main body of the book, and that wordy pyramid collapses with the delicious urgency of a market-stall fruit display upended by a fleeing thief, scattering ideas across the page like Granny Smiths hitting the pavement. Toop marshals an impressive array of musical authorities with the fearsome but discreet chutzpah of a great classical conductor. He moves from Duke Ellington in 1971, looking forward to a near future in which "It's most improbable that anyone will even know exactly who is enjoying the shadow of whom", to Bill Laswell's recent proclamation that "there is no exotic other". At one point he quotes an old Haitian proverb to the effect that "When the anthropologist arrives, the gods depart", but the goal of this remarkable book seems to be a reconciliation of science and myth. To this end, Exotica interweaves practicality with mysticism, the familiar with the unheard of and the trivial with the deadly serious. Sometimes fact masquerades as fiction. When the author writes "Since the suicide of my wife, I had been engulfed by a rich diversity of agonies", it seems like just another of many stylistic allusions to Joseph Conrad - unless you know the sad truth that Toop's wife did in fact commit suicide. Sometimes fiction masquerades as fact, as when the same narrator wanders through the Burroughs-like dreamscapes of high-voltage-fenced suburbia, where "blackened animals sat at electrical throwing distance from these banshee defences and wondered why they had died". While such flights of literary fancy are not perhaps Toop's most persuasive flourish, they do give the book's more scholarly segments an appropriate air of difference. Ocean of Sound, his ground-breaking history of ambient music, was most easily digested by placing it on the table by the bed while you slept. Exotica achieves a similarly happy union of form and function. A truly exotic artefact in itself, it segues with apparent ease from imagined dialogues with Lassie to learned disquisitions on the history of Hawaiian guitar. Yet it has enough respect for the strange sounds it celebrates not to overlook their roots in everyday experience. Anthony Seeger, the curator of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (purveyors of such vital sonic documents as "Sounds of the Bowels: a normal hungry man smoking a cigarette before dinner"), explains how a lot of his label's most exotic products "were prepared by people who had something else in mind for them". And it's in the gaps between intention and result, artifice and essence, the real and the fake, that Exotica plants its most fertile seeds. This book finds its truest magic in everyday struggles: from the pulp film sound-track legend Les Baxter - his commercial instincts doing daily battle, in Toop's memorable phrase, "with an innocent need to be regarded as serious" - to the Pacific islanders Tau Moe's Tropical Stars, who somehow sustained an ideal of Hawaiian identity through 56 years of international touring; because the greatest mystery of all is that there are no mysteries, except the heroic endeavours of "People too ordinary for their own liking, reinventing themselves as characters in a parallel universe".

Songs for Marshmallow Lovers is Fantastic! I like the version of I Am a Kitten on it as much as Kahimi Karrie's. Barbarella is a fun ride also. The whole cd is amazing! I highly recommend it! In Bed With Marina is also a nice overview of various acts on Marina. Adventures in Stereo carry on a tradition started by Patience & Prudence and also sound a little like Total Coelo's "I Eat Cannibals" or early Bananarama but soft and cheesy.

Songs for Marshmallow Lovers is Fantastic! I like the version of I Am a Kitten on it as much as Kahimi Karrie's. Barbarella is a fun ride also. The whole cd is amazing! I highly recommend it! In Bed With Marina is also a nice overview of various acts on Marina. Adventures in Stereo carry on a tradition started by Patience & Prudence and also sound a little like Total Coelo's "I Eat Cannibals" or early Bananarama but soft and cheesy. I like their second album the best. Love Letter and the Pale Fountains are also great modern day soft indie pop.

"Tangos" by Les Baxter & Orchestra is also from the series, called the Arthur Murray Favorites Series, oddly enough. I've got a soft spot for tangos -- they can be so lusciously over the top -- but this record is only decent, not great. Apparently the Murray series include Sambas, Rhumbas, Waltzes, Fox Trots, and Cha-Cha Mambos. No musicians named on the lp jacket. Will try to post about an Arthur Murray book of dance instruction within the next few days. Terrific exposition about Murray and Astaire lps, Frank. Methinks the Astaire series kicks Arthur's butt. The master of tango is Astor Piazola (sp?), an Argentinian who took the music to new heights. If you like melodically and rhythmically complex stuff, deeply moody, you'd love his music. Carla Bley also recorded a gorgeous tango (anyone know the record? I taped it from the radio.) and an Austin band called Tosca has released one or two highly recommended CDs of contamporary tango music. Gato Barbieri's "Last Tango in Paris" is a classic. =46or fun, next time anyone plays the tango "Jalousie" from the Murray record, sing these lyrics: Jealousy! You're making such a mess of me!

The singer, who was known as The Velvet Fog, was honored today at services at Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles, where his grave is halfway between those of Marilyn Monroe and Al Jolson. O'Connor called Torme a lifelong friend who was known for his constant smile and his ability to make a funny situation out of most every event. Heston sent his message on tape and said Torme's battle with the aftermath of his 1996 stroke was ``heroic.'' He noted the tremendous frustration the singer must have felt in not being able to perform following the stroke. Comedian Harry Anderson noted that Torme brought a sence of impishness to the set of the ``Night Court'' TV sitcom, on which the two appeared. In one of Torme's last interviews, Torme told UPI that his appearances on ``Night Court,'' MTV and a series of soft drink commercials introduced him to younger audiences in the 1980s and '90s. Torme said he never stopped trying to improve his singing. ``That's what keeps me interested in singing, the fact that...you never say 'Yeah, now I'm a polished singer. You never do that.'' With a personal repertoire of 5,000 songs, his material ranged from Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein, to Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart, Paul Whiteman and to nearly 250 songs he wrote himself, including the holiday classic, ``The Christmas Song.'' Speaking just two months before the stroke that incapacitated him, Torme said he wanted to keep singing for many more years. ``There are still hoards of songs that I have not sung, and I want to get at them as soon as I can.'' Despite the resurgent popularity after a career that spanned more than 60 years, Torme said he still considered himself ``the ultimate jazz singer.'' And this from Phil "Firesign Theatre" Proctor (see, even comedians post obits!): VOICES STILLED Actor Ed Gilbert, 67, whose voice was familiar to children everywhere as the character "Baloo" in Disney's "Jungle Book" as well as in features like "The Little Mermaid", stopped talking after a 40-year career on May 8, not far from us in Benedict Canyon, after a brave battle with lung cancer. In addition to his entertainment career, Gilbert was also a celebrated and widely published biologist who discovered, wrote about and illustrated over 100 previously unknown species of insects during years of research trips into the jungles of Central and South America. Donations can be made in his memory to Nature Conservancy, 11340 West Olympic Blvd, Suite 246, LA, CA 90064-1612. Also, a noisy sendoff to James Bladdes, a 97-year-old musician who made gunshots and thunder for silent movies and was famous for the "Gong!" that preceded J. Arthur Rank's productions. During World War II, he created "the greatest noise I ever made" -- a BBC "V for Victory" signal pounded out on an African drum, broadcast 150 times a day to encourage Resistance Fighters. And then we sing a fond farewell to Melvin Howard Torme. who scatted out of life yesterday. I loved his music, and often saw him perform live with my parents in the 50s. We called him "The Velvet Frog" in his later years, because he started life looking like a Prince... A prolific and multi-talented artist, his most memorable legacy besides his recorded vocals is "The Christmas Song," co-authored on a sweltering summer day in L.A. to try and cool off and eventually released in over 1,300 versions. When asked why he kept singing the "old songs", Torme said they were simply better. "When young rock singers began writing their own, they displaced the community of songwriters who worked with grace, wit, charm, intelligence and brilliance." In fact, Torme got so discouraged about the state of popular music that at one point in the '60s, he decided to chuck it and he went to school to become an airline pilot. Well, he's flying now. And singing, I'm sure. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "christian courtis" Subject: RE: (exotica) arthur murray/tango riff Date: 09 Jun 1999 18:16:01 -0300 hugo del carril was quite a character... great tango singer, movie direct= or, got famous singing the widely known peronist march... after the coup d=B4= etat that overthrew peron (yeah, evita=B4s husband) in 1955, he suffered from censorship, boycott. great voice, tenor-like, maybe his work is untidily reissued in cd, at least here in argentina -if someo= ne wants to start a trade... osvaldo pugliese is one of the masters of tango orchestras. he led an orchestra from the late 20s to the 90s. he died four o five years ago, when he was= 92 or 93. incredible piano player, there=B4s a tune characterizing his ryhtmic styl= e called "la yumba". pugliese was probably among the finest arrangers of the mainstream. he wa= s a member of the argentine communist party, and he when he suffered incarceration f= or political demonstrations, his band would play without the piano player, but with a = red flower on the piano... i will check about argentinian sites... some are run by the government, b= ut maybe you can pick something useful from them mimi asked my to post a message i previously sent her here it goes tango was popular in europe between wars -germany, france, italy, spain. lots of these "mainstream tango era" bands toured in europe for months -they were considered heroes down here, like soccer players. there were also european adaptations -mostly italian- of dancehall tango -deemed to be very poor by argentinian tango fans. some of that stuff would be somewhere in between real tango and les baxter=B4s tango. probably there paradigm o= f "fake tango" is rodolfo valentino dancing in silent movies of the 20s. i love piazzolla, of course -but it=B4s as saying one loves miles davis piazzolla was actually the arranger of one of the finest mainstream tango band -anibal troilo. he began with his own orchestra in tha late 50s, sti= ll in a popular trend -tango orchestras used to have crooners, for example, and piazzolla= =B4s had his own. the guy listened to be bop, ravel, debussy, stravinsky, bartok, and begun= to smuggle strange arrangements for popular tunes. he gained some rejection by criti= cs and public, and he gradually became more and more avantguardish. the typical tango orchestra features 4 violins. 4 or 5 bandoneons, a piano and an upright bass. piazzolla came down to a kind of chamber group lining up himself in bandoneon, an upright bass, a violin, = an electric guitar and a piano. other line-ups featured a percussionist and a cello player. very far from the mainstream. there=B4s still lots of people that consider that piazzolla i= s not tango -there were public discussions about this in the 70s! cheers, christian # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Brian Phillips" Subject: Re: (exotica) Singer Mel Torme mourned Date: 09 Jun 1999 17:29:45 -0400 >Actor Ed Gilbert, 67, whose voice was familiar to children everywhere as= the >character "Baloo" in Disney's "Jungle Book" To put a finer point on it, he was Baloo in the Disney TV series "Tale= Spin".

Some of the faster songs off the last Fantastic Plastic Machine and Yukari Fresh also are similar. This is full of quirky melodies, catchy hooks & some of the songs really rock in an indie way. I am surprised how infectious some of the melodies are. This is really a good J pop and Shibuya Kei comp, there seems to be a lot going on in Japan these days.

An industrial strength classroom model, a Newcomb Audio. You carry it like a suitcase. Mostly I got it to play these 78's I've been slowly accumulating. I also wanted to be able tote my little record player to work along with an armful of whistling and carillon records and entertain my co-workers. ;) After listening to the 78's, I checked out some 45's and 33's. "Hey, this works great, sounds pretty good, too," I thought. After a couple of more records, it started to hit me. My records sound better on this little machine than on my modern stereo. How could this be? I don't even know what kind of needle is on the damn thing. You flip it in one direction for 45 and 33, then the other way for 78. The acid test came when I put on Danny and Dena's Adventure In Sound, a record that never sounded good on my "good" system, there was so much surface noise. I have many other records like this, too. They look clean, but play noisy. So I put this record on my little record player and sure enough, the surface noise was much less noticeable. It sounded warmer too, not as thin. What is going on here? Am I just blinded by my excitement over my new toy? Does my modern stereo suck? Or do fourty year old records really sound best on equipment of similar age?

It sounded warmer too, not as thin. Well I tried the experiment with the same record and I have to agree. I'm actually hearing things on the record that I've never heard before. In general, I think that my 78's sound better on my classroom model - the "Rheem Califone 1440" - than they do on my friend's stereo with the special needle and all. But that makes sense. Those 78's weren't "high fidelity" and they belong on this machine. (That's not to say that I haven't heard 78's sound wonderful on stereo systems that were essentially "dedicated" to playing 78's exclusively. A serious 78 collector can have anywhere from a half dozen to dozens of different needles in order to "correctly" play all his records.) Anyway, it makes sense to me that certain records will sound better coming out of this speaker. But the needle thing is kind of mysterious. I'm not even sure there IS a needle there but I do know that when I flip the switch from "78" to "LP", the sound changes. And it doesn't explain why this particular record sounds better on this machine. But it could just be that the "balance" of this arm digs better into a record as whipped as this one is. Isn't it interesting that we both have crappy copies? Maybe they were crappy to begin with. Anyway, thanks for the post. I'm enjoying this record now.

It's a Morricone soundtrack but I don't know if it's the original soundtrack. In fact, it's all in Italian and I don't know anything. The title of the film might be "Metti,una sera a cena l'assolute naturale" Or "l'assulute naturale" might not be part of the title. (Does that mean "original soundtrack"? Am I going to be embarrassed?) No wait. I think those are TWO separate film titles. Well the first half of the CD is about as beautiful and perfect as any music I've heard in a long long time. Could that be the music for "Metti una sera"? I can get my friend to burn me a CD copy but if there's more of this I can get or if anyone can tell me what the film is... I have a fair bit of Morricone. I thought I knew Morricone. But this is different, yet somehow the same and really beautiful. Then again, there are these lovely female voices on the CD and I have been listening to all this soft pop as you know, so maybe I'm not in the best position to judge...

How could this be? Could be the needle. All records or just 78's? I am beginning to learn that stylus shape and size can be very important in picking up the right audio info. If the stylus is too small, you end up reading mainly dust accumulated at the bottom of the groove. But beware the larger or blunter needle which will scrape off the vinyl! 78's require a larger needle because they have macrogrooves (as opposed to the microgrooves on LPs). I also believe the needle shape was somewhat different. There is even a different type of groove cutting which I don't quite understand yet. Apparently everything recorded in recent years has been lateral cutting, but in the 40's and before there was a technique known as vertical cutting and you needed to be prepared to reproduce it in the same way. Still, I have been able to play a vertical record on my turntable and didn't flip a switch or anything. Could be it is not reproducing the way it is supposed to, but it reproduces something?!

Pretty good, some shaft moments some crime jazzy moments, and an excellent track of cocktail music a bit like the slower moments on the schudelmadchen LP. I like it. The only drawback is the lack of gaps between the tracks, side 2 is just one track, making it all but useless for playing out. It also has what sounds like the inspiration for the soundtrack for 'The Taking of Pelham 123'. Definitely much more Lalo-tastic than Quiet Village.

He was 97. The musician played with the bands of Benny Goodman and Kay Kyser. He recently performed for his 95th birthday at an event sponsored by the New Orleans Jazz Club of Southern California. President Clinton, who also plays the saxophone, sent McHargue a letter for the occasion. He got his musical career start playing with bands in Chicago. His first recording, ``Wow Blues,'' was made in 1922. He went on replace Benny Goodman in the Seattle Harmony Kings and later toured with the Ted Weems band from 1935 to 1942. See also: http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?UID=11:22:49|AM&p=amg&sql=B11161 Although he is somewhat obscure, Rosy McHargue (who turned 95 in 1997) is the third oldest active jazz musician in history, behind Eubie Blake (who made it to 100) and Benny Waters (just a month older than McHargue and still active as of this writing). Always associated with Dixieland and 1920s jazz, Rosy McHargue in his later years developed into a singer with an encyclopediac knowledge of lyrics (including verses and alternate choruses) from many forgotten songs from the 1920s and before. At the age of 15 in 1917, he worked at his first professional engagement (with the Novelty Syncopators) and made his recording debut in 1922 playing "Wow Wow Blues" with Roy Schoenbeck's Orchestra. Other early recordings included dates with the Seattle Harmony Kings (1925), Frankie Trumbauer (1931), Ted Weems (1934) and Jimmy McPartland (1936). McHargue worked with the Wolverines in late 1925 after Bix Beiderbecke had departed, spent a year with the Seattle Harmony Kings and played with Ted Weems from 1934-42. After moving to Los Angeles, he worked briefly with Eddie Miller and Benny Goodman before having longer stints with Kay Kyser (1943-46) and Red Nichols (1947-51). McHargue, who took the purposely cornball clarinet solo on Pee Wee Hunt's unlikely hit version of "Twelfth Street Rag, " played and recorded with Pete Dailey, and has been active in Los Angeles's Dixieland scene up until the present time, still appearing at jazz festivals in 1997. He recorded as a leader for Jump (1947 and 1952), Fairmont, Audiophile, Protone (1957) and, much more recently, Stomp Off (1992). -- Scott Yanow, All-Music Guide # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: G.R.Reader@bton.ac.uk Subject: FW: Subject: (exotica) Argentinians/Brazilians Date: 10 Jun 1999 17:00:12 +0100 > This is more information already than I've managed to unearth in a > year.

Date: 10 Jun 1999 12:22:30 EDT I will not waste my time criticizing or insulting this Exotica List as 1) it is unlikely to change, and 2) it's members probably revel in the letters of shock and repulsion that are regularly received. Instead, I will focus on theimpertinent propositions, which, after all, are the things that seek temporary tactical alliances with the worst classes of nefarious party animals there are in order to fan the flames of antidisestablishmentarianism into a planet-spanning inferno. For starters, I, for one, have noticed of late a very strong undercurrent of spineless fascism among malignant scamps. I might add: The tone of this List'ssentiments is eerily reminiscent of that of supercilious crybabies of the late 1940s, in the sense that I have avoided engaging in open debate with conniving rash paranoiacs -- or even acknowledging their existence -- for fear of lending them any form of legitimacy. I won't pull any punches here: We can't stop the Exotica List overnight.

This experimental wooden instrument produces an incredible amount of hilarious, different sounds. Sometimes it sounds like a musical instrument (kazoo, trumpet, flute, bassoon, cello, xylophone, horn, rasp...), but most of the times it resembles animal noises (sheep, elephant, camel, duck, lion, donkey, dog, cat). Several daxophones playing together in a clownesque way create the ilusion of an circus-like orchestra on a planet at the other side of the galaxy. Highly recommended! A rare chance to hear experimental music that is actually pleasant to hear.

I was bummed by the first Austin Powers OST as well - how can they so miss the mark when comps like Sound Gallery are out there to literally draw a map to the sounds that symbolize "shagadelic?" It's beyond me, and the sound people on that movie should have their heads examined. Mel G (as with the others on that OST save for "Q") have no business being there. But, as with many movies these days, screen time is money, and product placement is a big money-maker. Just like with commercial radio (which is just that - a *commercial* for the albums of artists the record labels are pushing), movies are pushing products - a Reese's Pieces-eating E.T. was just the beginning. The artists on the Austin Powers OST are there not for reasons of their musical appropriateness, but for their commercial positioning for the demographic that is expected to see the movie. Incidentally, does anyone remember the movie "Mac and Me?" It came out just after E.T., and was funded almost in its entirety by MacDonald's. The E.T.-like alien eats Big Macs instead of Reese's Pieces. Great flick. At least Spice World had good music.

I don't know whether this one is on their labels (Film Music Arts Studio/Soundtrack Deletions)... but anyway, I'm sure that "Metti una sera a cena" was a movie title (eerrr... now how do I translate that??!? ;)) ...so the other bit must be a separate movie... I've seen similar titles like "La stagione dei sensi / Vergogna schifosi". >Or "l'assulute naturale" might not be part of the title. (Does that mean >"original soundtrack"?

I thought I knew Morricone. >But this is different, yet somehow the same and really beautiful. ehm... now the (er) promotional bit. ;) I have digital rights to some Morricone tracks and other compositions all performed by Alessandro Alessandroni. Alessandroni was a composer and conductor who was often associated with Morricone (I pratically have the same tracks that are contained in his compilation album "El Puro"), conducting famous spaghetti western soundtracks like "For a fistful of bucks" (with that charachteristic Morricone whistle...). He also had a choir called "I cantori moderni di Alessandroni" (Alessandroni's modern singers). I had this stuff sold in mp3 format on Nordic Records (http://www.nordicdms.com/nordicrecords), but as they recently restructured the site (they have just been bought by Goodnoise.com) most of the tracks I had there have been put offline and I dunno if they will put them online again. I'm thinking of putting them for free on www.mp3.com (and also on sale as DAM CD on their site). Meanwhile, another site (http://www.freerecords.com) will have the mp3 files published soon. Oh, and of course all of these are LEGAL mp3 sites! :) >Then again, there are these lovely female voices on the CD and I have been >listening to all this soft pop as you know, so maybe I'm not in the best >position to judge... Probably you may have encountered some vocals by Edda Dell'Orso, a lovely voice that appears on various Morricone albums; she is also featured in the Alessandroni album I just mentioned (she sings on three tracks from a "Sindbad" movie).

I got the exact same thing, for more or less exactly the same reasons. Gotta love that beige tweed! It's also our official "porch system." (If I can digress into a rant here briefly, mine was some thing the Ann Arbor public library was selling off, because they had deemed vinyl "obsolete"--Grrrr!) >My records sound better on this little >machine than on my modern stereo. How could this be? Did you get a real old tube model, or one of the 70s transistor ones? The first thing that comes to mind is that the ideal for a new audio system is that it have a ruler-flat frequency response, extending well into the treble. Whereas I just tried out the Newcomb, and it rolls off the bass and treble pretty severely, while putting a huge peak in the midrange. There are probably plenty of other idiosyncratic peaks and wiggles in the frequency response, too. But this doesn't always sound bad: Isn't the whole reason a cello has a body is to "distort" the frequencies of the string, adding its own resonances? I had a weird old pair of British speakers that had a strong "coloration" which happened to make a lot of vocalists sound *great*--even though in some technical sense int was an innacuracy. The first thing that happens with the Newcomb's kind of shaped frequency response is that this brings the melody intruments (horns, etc.) way forward in the mix--which for some kinds of music can sound quite exciting. And of course all those crackles (which are quite fatiguing to the ear on a system flat out to 20 kHz) are mellowed out dramatically. It may also be that producers of the 50s era created their mixes *knowing* they would be played on consumer systems with responses like this, and balanced the EQ accordingly to sound good on them. The other thing I notice is that this heavy tone-arm sure plows past the skips better than my ultralight modern one. . .

Madonna's song is actually entirely lame (as opposed to an intentionally lame Bassey Knockoff) and called something like "Strange Love" and is what they play during Power's late night lonely drive. I'm rather ambivalent about it all. Some stuff worked, but if I wanted extensive, and dumb 90's humor I'd watch any of the other Lorne Michaels comedy trainwreck. I didn't expect the OST to be any good this time out (the whole movie reeks of mediocre product placement, especially with the music--Lenny Kravitz covering American Woman? What qualifies him? His velvet suit?) I would have preferred FatBastard stay on the cutting room floor (along with half of MiniMe's schtick) and have more scenes with #2 and Scott Evil (who was originally going to fall in with the Black Panthers after dating an Angela Davis type's daughter in an early draft of the script). Heather Graham was really cool but not in a 60's type of way. Lack of any psychedelica (or any actual sex other than FB's moment o' shame-ugh) was a major disappointment.

Yeah - I agree. The soundtrack CD is a complete piece of corporate crap, and upon hearing it, I experienced the sickening feeling that this movie might be a real letdown for all of the spy spoof a go-go aficianados among us. Thank God most of the tracks on the soundtrack CD are not featured in the movie. The only ones I remember hearing are the Bacharach/Costello number and a cool segment of Espionage by Green Day during a car chase. And I liked how certain classic soundtrack cues were quoted in some segments - during Austin's chess match with Ivana Humpalot the music is practically a note-for-note re-creation of Michael Legrand's music in the chess match scene from The Thomas Crown Affair; John Barry's Space March is used for Dr. Evil's phallic space rocket, and I think I heard You Only Live Twice for the exterior shots of Dr. Evil's secret volcanic hideaway. The opening tune is very Bassey-esque, indeed. The CD could have been a lot better if only the suits at Maverick had a frickin' clue.

They've gotten harder to get in the last couple of years (in the US). You're going to think I'm joking, but the reason has to do with the North American Trade Agreement (or whatever it's official name was). There was some sort of clause in there that had the result of cutting off legitimate distribution of vintage Mexican cinema on video (don't ask me the details... I don't know and I'm no lawyer). Something Weird and Sinister Cinema were both forced to drop a bunch of movies. Something Weird even had a close-out sale before the deadline. But I'd guess if you pick up some psychotronically focused movie magazines you'll be able to find ads from some underground dealers who are persisting. el maceo ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: SV: (exotica) El Santo Date: 13 Jun 1999 23:09:18 +0200 try http://www.trashpalace.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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: (exotica) the Aliis Date: 13 Jun 1999 23:17:35 +0200 Finally an own copy!

"Joyfull Noise". I think I knew this band and something told me "Don't!". ON top of that, it was more than five bucks. But I went for it anyway. Song titles like "Animals, Flowers and Trees", "Puppets and Pearls" and "Wrapped in the Hide of a Yellow Cow" - no kidding - got the better of me. On first listen, not only does this not fit my soft-rock requirements, I don't know what the #$%^ it is. It might be weird or it might just be horrible. At the same time, for a buck I picked up this thing called "Dry Dock Country". It has a badly done cover and they cover "Mr.Soul" is all I knew. But this insert tumbled out when I got home. A poster of the band on one side and on the other side, "liner notes" by the producer Wes Farrell (Okay, who is he again?) He states that he's used the band as backup vocalists on records by The Cowsills, The Everly Brothers and Neil Sedaka. Who knew the Cowsills or Everly's used backup singers. Anyway, this is not the discovery of the month or anything. And it's a bit too "seventies" for the genre. But when I eventually make JimmyBee a "soft rock compilation", somewhere on it will probably be D.D.C's "Nothing to lose but my mind", a pretty obvious Beach Boy's ripoff. Or their very very weird cover of the Stones' "Last Time". Will it ever end?

What's really disappointing about Mike Myers blowing it on the soundtrack is that it's obvious that he does know the period he's spoofing and knows the music of that period. It's not like he's clueless about it and this is the best he can come up with. I find it even more disappointing because I vaguely know Mr.Myers brother, a musician whose music has a very very Beatle-esque sixties pop sound to it. It kind of botheres me that he doesn't give his brother a shot at these soundtracks but even if they've somehow worked that out, still with a brother like that so steeped in that music, there's no excuse for him missing the point.

It turned out to be an album called Godsdog by 'De-Phazz' on German Mole records. Most of the songs are cut-up/sample driven, rather like Tipsy. But there is also a slight soul/dance influence on some numbers, as on the Dimitri from Paris LP. As on Tipsy's 'trip tease', the samples are uncredited (eg the first song is built around 'Adios', but this is not mentioned anywhere). From the cover (flyer-style picture of a snake and some shoes), it looks like this is aimed at the dance crowd. But I think most people on this list would enjoy parts of it. I found a bit of info about it at the site below; perhaps Jill or someone might know more. http://www.mole.de/eng/overview.html regards, Jonny # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) Lee Hazlewood Date: 14 Jun 1999 11:59:18 +0100 There is a very interesting article on Lee Hazlewood and his input into various areas of Nancy Sinatra in yesterday's Sunday Observer (UK).

My guess is, he had as much control over the released soundtrack as you or I did. Obviously, he had a little more control over the music in the film, hence the TMBG thing, and someone mentioned the Propellerheads, and so on. I would bet if you ask Mike about Lenny Kravitz, he'd agree with us. What I'm more interested in is two things: Didn't the original soundtrack sell a zillion copies? Why mess with that? Why not take these old hits from the vaults and make some money off 'em? Does Madonna really need more exposure? Or Kravitz? Or Mel G? Come on, why mess with a proven thing? Two, I'd love to see the original script/plot layout for the movie before the moguls got involved and started running their audience response tests, ya know? I wonder if those exist anywhere, like a "director's cut" website. If not, someone should start one. Anyway, that's my two cents. Well, six cents maybe.

I picked up "Exciting Sounds of the South Seas" by Mr. Diamond this weekend and besides the coolish cover, I'm not sure what to do with it. I also picked up a John Barry record with the wrong John Barry record inside. It was supposed to be something on UA with versions of Goldfinger and other Bond tunes and also versions of Cherry Pink etc, Volare, Baubles Bangles.. But instead the label says "Explosion... series from Ember" and has a couple of Chad and Jeremy songs including the familiar "Yesterday's Gone" and the unfamiliar but welcome "No Tears for Johnny". I like what I got but I wonder what it is and I wish I had the right cover.

Many of us took dates there for delicious Asian food, complete with romantic flaming towers of sterno, Pu-Pu platters, and Scorpions shaken and poured into Wahine urns for two. The blowfish hanging from the ceiling, lighting the tables with an eerie glow of the forbidden pleasures, have become dusty now, and so it goes that the South Pacific in Fords, NJ is closing its doors, retiring and ultimately selling the business. The Brimstones and their friends have been given a unique opportunity to say farewell to this gem of an establishment. For 26 years it has seduced us into believing that there are some forbidden things yet unknown in this suburban hell. And so it goes, those bedeviled Brimstones, the products of suburban New Jersey Hell, will make the tribute, this Friday at 7pm at the South Pacific. Tiki mugs will be filled with the elixers of seduction, those Zombies and Mai Tais that we all grew to love. The Brimstones will play the gig of their dreams, such like so many Tiki-freaks have done before. I hope to see you there...

Being a Goon Show fan, I believe that you are referring to Wally Stott. He did indeed have a transgender operation, but her name is now Angela Morley. For you non-Goon Show listening people (whew!), Wally Stott took over the job at the Goon Show from an old Exotica topic of discussion, Stanley Black. He wrote the arrangements for Black and then took the podium in the third season. Morley is quite the arranger.

It sounded easy to do so I did this on an Audio Technica "dj" cartridge that was less elyptical or whatever then my other stereo cartridge. The crossing of the wires makes the stereo image mono but it also makes the pops and clicks mono. The theory was that now the pops and clicks would be in the center, hidden beneath or masked by the music in the grooves. It worked though it did not eliminate the pops and clicks, they were still there, though much less distracting, I have to admit. Stereo pops and clicks on a mono record do stand out in an esquivellian way. Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I might be wrong but I think song titles (and album titles) are not copyrighted .The song managing folks (don't ask me who) do specify that two songs cannot be released and on the top 40 (or whatever) at the same time. Shenna Easton wanted to call her "My baby takes the morning train" song "Working 9 to 5" but Dolly Parton's song already had the same name.

That is correct. btw, there is another album called 'Schizophonic', by former Extreme lead guitarist Nuno Bettancourt (sp), that came out a few months after ComEd's. The kicker is that Bettancourt lives in the same area as CE, and certainly would have seen the title used in advertisments and reviews at the time.

Dead Kennedys awarded legal fees in fight against Jello Biafra September date set for "punk rock trial of the century" SAN FRANCISCO - June 7, 1999 - A federal judge has ordered former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra to reimburse his bandmates for legal fees. Senior federal judge D. Lowell Jensen ordered Biafra to pay $12,160.50 to Decay Music, the band's partnership, and to guitarist East Bay Ray, bassist Klaus Flouride and drummer D.H. Peligro for legal fees spent fighting Biafra's unsuccessful attempt to move the case to federal court. The award of attorney fees, incurred in their suit filed October 1998 against Biafra for failure to pay back royalties and for mismanagement of the punk rock band's legendary catalog of songs, is the latest in a string of legal victories for the former DKs. Last March, the San Francisco Superior Court set a trial date of September 27, 1999, denying Biafra's requests for a delayed trial and that the case be resolved by secret arbitration. "We want our day in open court, we have nothing to hide. It's called Dead Kennedys v. Biafra, and it's the punk rock trial of the century," said Peligro. Dead Kennedys, a popular and influential punk rock band which toured and recorded from 1978 to 1986, are known for their humorous yet trenchantly political songs such as "Holiday in Cambodia", "California Uber Alles", "MTV Get Off the Air", and "Nazi Punks F*** Off." Dead Kennedys are represented by David M. Given and Paul Karl Lukacs of San Francisco's Phillips & Erlewine LLP. -END- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This mailing list is brought to you by Slick.ORG at http://www.slick.org to remove yourself from the list, send e-mail to majordomo@slick.org and include the words "unsubscribe tikievents" in the message (not in the subject).

The original title was 'Schizophrenic' and that's what the pre-release publicity was done under, but after a complaint from a mental health charity it was changed last minute to 'Schizophonic'.

The only limitation they have is that you can't use a title used by another composer who has your same surname. But actually I don't think they control this stuff so well... hehhe. So theorically if you're called "Jackson" you can't register a song called "Bad" as it would be confused with Michael Jackson's track with the same title. Years ago I've read (on a newsletter I got from an Irish music association) that there are tons of songs with the title "Baby baby", dozens of "Baby baby baby" and even some track called (err) "Baby baby baby baby". ;D >I am not sure what this has to do with the topic --- I got sorta sidetracked. hehe.

(AP) -- Rick Fields, a writer and close friend of Beat poet Allen Ginsburg who chronicled the rise of Buddhism in the United States, died Sunday of cancer. He was 57. Fields wrote ``How the Swans Came to the Lake: A Narrative History of Buddhism in America'' in 1981. He began writing at the Whole Earth Catalog in 1969, and later contributed regularly to the Yoga Journal and New Age Journal. He also founded the Loka Journal and taught at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in Boulder, Colo. *Lawrence J. Nunn WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Lawrence J. Nunn, who created the grinning Freddy the Alligator which still adorns canal bridges, water conservation pamphlets and Florida Turnpike toll booths, died Monday. He was 81. In 1963, Nunn joined the flood control district, now known as the South Florida Water Management District, and worked there for 20 years. He created the alligator logo for the district and produced a film about the life of an alligator in the wild. He named the cartoon logo after Freddy, a real life baby gator who hatched in his film. Nunn eventually gave the real gator to the Palm Beach Zoo and would visit him on lunch breaks. Freddy was killed by vandals in 1985. *Jabu Nkosi JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) -- Jabu Nkosi, a jazz keyboardist who played with such luminaries as Miriam Makeba and Harry Belafonte, has died of heart failure. He was 46. The Sunday Times said Nkosi had high blood pressure, diabetes and cirrhosis of the liver. It did not say when he died. The son of legendary alto sax and clarinet player Zakes Nkosi, Jabu Nkosi left school at an early age and began performing jazz with friends and family. He never learned to read music but amazed fellow musicians with his intuitive grasp of harmony and other concepts. Nkosi's keyboard style was characterized by his delicacy and ability to improvise. Nkosi was frequently hospitalized the last two years, which limited his performances and his financial resources.

Date: 15 Jun 1999 17:22:12 -0500 Hi all, I, too, winced when I saw Geri Halliwell's album title. But while I had always thought that the title was a ComEd invention, an essay I read recently gave me reason to believe otherwise. The following is from ethnomusicologist Steven Feld's essay "From Schizophonia to Schismogenesis: The Discourses and Practices of World Music and World Beat," found in both _Music Grooves_ (Charles Keil and Steven Feld, eds., 1994) and _The Traffic in Culture_ (George E. Marcus and Fred R. Myers, eds. 1995): "'Schizophonia refers to the split between an original sound and its electo-acoustical transmission or reproduction,' writes Canadian composer Murray Schafer, introducing his terminology of soundscape research and acoustic ecology in _The Tuning of the World_ (1977:90). . . . Summarizing his concept Schafer writes: I coined the termed schizophonia in _The New Soundscape_ [1969] intending it to be a nervous word. Related to schizophrenia, I wanted it to convey the same sense of aberration and drama. Indeed, the overkill of hi-fi gadgetry not only contributes generously to the lo-fi problem, but it creates a synthetic soundscape in which natural sounds are becoming increasingly unnatural while machine-made substitutes are providing the operative signals directing modern life. (Schafer 1997:91)" After reading this, I merely thought ComEd was proudly claiming the "schizophonic" mantle in the face of such hand-wringing done by those (like Schafer) who insist on seeking out some sort of authenticity in music. The word seemed frighteningly appropriate to me, although, to be sure, it's probably not a widely known or used word--it's not in my dictionary, for example. Anyway, there you go.

He stopped when his greed forced him to steal LPs from a radio station. Well Harvey never really stopped. Yeah he sold five thousand records but he still collects them. And books too. Actually I'm going to be visiting him in less than a month in order to relieve him of as many records as possible. I'm doing him a favour actually. That's how he sees it too. He picks up a lot of records. It's often got nothing to do with whether he wants them or not. A lot of them are crap that nobody would want but in the last couple of years I've been "educating" him on the kind of crap that we like. Supposedly he's got a lot of them. Last fall, his wife drove up here and brought a box of his discards. I kept a dozen or so and sold the rest for him. And he was thankful to get anything. Harvey's a "nickle and dime" kind of guy and apparently in Cleveland he can't get even the small sum of money for them that I got for him. As far as the question of whether anyone else writes about record collecting in that way, besides the obvious one - "High Fidelity" - I can't think of anyone. But in a few months there will be a film on this subject and I know for a fact that Harvey is in it. If you like mystery novels, you might check out George Pelecanos. There's not much about record collecting in them but his hero does make a lot of obscure musical references. Or more obscure than you usually find in novels.

Partly through my influence he's become a big lounge/exotica/cool and strange fan and he's somehow attracted that kind of record to the store. There's this guy who keeps coming in to sell stuff. He says that he's an electrician and that he keeps ending up in homes where the people have vinyl and he offers to sell it for them. Who knows? Anyway he came in today and Scott went outside and when he came back in with the first of five milk crates, he said "It's going to blow your mind". I don't think I've ever seen exotica records in such immaculate shape. Particularly the covers. But the vinyl too. I won't even list the cool jazz stuff or anything else. Just stick to exotica. There were perfect copies of: ARTHUR LYMAN - Blowin in the Wind - Bwana A SURFMEN - Exotic Island LES BAXTER - Fabulous Sounds of... YMA SUMAC - Inca Taqui (10 inch) SID RAMIN etc - New Sound America Loves Best SID BASS - With Bells on DICK SCHORY - Bang Barroom etc - Wild Percussion - Music to break any mood plus... MARCO POLO ADVENTURERS - Orienta An amazing record I'd never heard of and which I'm now trying to relieve him of. THE ODD COUPLE SINGS on Phase Four With a classic "golden throat" version of Jack Klugman - pre-surgery - croaking out "You're so vain" and Tony Randall sort of answering him in between the lyrics. And this record called "MANDINGO", not the soundtrack. The story on the back claims that some newly discovered Caribbean guy named Mandingo made the record and played all the thirty or forty instruments ranging from various drums through electric harpsichord and synth. From what I've heard so far, this is a great record in the Manu Dibango mode. So the stuff is still out there. Maybe next time I'll tell you about the guy with the milk crates full of Zappa, Beefheart and Hawkwind and the pitiful expression on his face as his girlfriend forced him to sell his collection.

She was 90. She suffered a brain hemorrhage during a performance last weekend. The singer was given her stage name in recognition of her birthplace, Puebla de Cazalla, just outside Seville. Blind from childhood, Jimenez dedicated herself to music from her early years and in the 1960s and 1970s captured the hearts of flamenco artists and fans. Admired for her ability to sing in a wide range of flamenco styles, she was probably best known for popularizing the Spanish traditional song ``Los campanilleros'' (The Bell Ringers). She was to have received Spain's Gold Medal for Fine Arts from King Juan Carlos next week. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Subject: (exotica) No records for sale!

Similar in some ways to Mirageman or The James Taylor Quartet with a real sense of fun (and some of the vocals have a nice sixties Bacharachesque feel to them).

Date: 16 Jun 1999 18:24:52 -0800 Hi folks; I've been lurking on the list for about a month or so now, and was looking for just the right opportunity to jump in and get my feet wet, as it were. Man, you guys are really *out there*!! I'm just a simple small-town gal (Mt. Vernon, WA) trying to get the local community college radio station interested in my show, "Lady Crimson's Loungability." Lots of hoops to jump through, but I think it'll be worth it-- this town desperately needs some fabulousness!! Anyway, the recent copyright/lawsuit thread has provided me with an opening at last. While going through my collection with a view toward developing some playlists, I discovered what may very well be the basis for a possible lawsuit! If any of you have the following LP's, please check out these tracks: On the album "Sound Spectrum" by Shay Torrent at the Hammond Organ (Mercury SR 60091, ?year?), there's a catchy little tune called "Riviera," with the author credit going to Mr. Torrent himself. While listening, I thought it sounded remarkably like another tune on another one of my discs. After accessing the card file in my brain, I found my copy of "Mallet Magic" by Harry Breuer and his Quintet (Audio Fidelity Stereodisc AFSD 5825, 1958) and played the track "Maxixe Mambo," with the author credit of Nazareth-Breuer-Frey. The arrangements are completely different, but after hearing them back-to-back, I came to the inescapable conclusion that this is *exactly the same song*!! I wish to the Goddess that there was a year indicated on the Torrent disc, so we could see which came first. Can any of you folks shed some light on this one?? Please tell me I'm not hallucinating. At least not about this, anyway. Jane, I would *love* to get hold of the Astro-Slut disc, but since I'm not actually on the air yet, it just wouldn't be fair to either of us. I'll buy one off ya, though!! That's it for now, kids.

Sorry to be late on this thread. . . the one reason *I* hang onto that disk is for the song "Polynesian," the only track on there that doesn't completely peg the Sappiness Meter. I like that tune, and it always sounded vaguely familiar to me. . . Well duh--it's basically a real close relative of the song "Off Shore," which I just noticed this evening was *also* written by Diamond. So Leo's stock has shot way up around here, since there are some really wonderful versions of "Off Shore" out there. (The very restrained piano solo on Martin Denny's version, from _Enchanted Sea_, is one of my favorite moments out of Denny's entire career.) But it does raise the question, what was Leo up to there? Same song, two titles? Desperate attempt to recreate an earlier hit? I only noticed all this because I happened to be playing the Gene Rains LP, _Rains in the Tropics_ (which also has a nice "Off Shore"). Unfortunately, my copy is just about destroyed, so I rarely listen to that. But, thanks to BasicHip, I was reminded that my thrashed LPs can actually sound OK on that Newcomb school-issue record player, so I pulled it out again--and was totally grooving on it, despite the crackles. [For you newbies out there, it's time for Ross's semiannual "don't forget Gene Rains" rant--whenever Denny and Lyman are mentioned, Rains should be also. Where Denny was theatrical, and Lyman jazzy, Rains tended towards mystery and moodiness, and was IMHO quite an interesting arranger.] tropically, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "m.ace" Subject: (exotica) attention Wilsonites Date: 16 Jun 1999 22:47:25 -0400 This Sunday night, A&E's Biography has a two hour show on Brian Wilson... shown over and over and over: 8:00pm, 10:00pm, Midnight, 2:00am (eastern).

I think that you are seeing more rock songs on those stations now becuase they are starting to play things on the oldies stations they never used to play like disco tunes from the late 70s and even some 80s music, I hear very little 50s music on oldies stations anymore.

It is a 1970 soundtrack and Les was obviously still in his Helles Bells frame of mind. This lp has a lot of big drums and that rocking pop combo sound again. Being a horror film, there are a lot of eerie/disturbing moments on the lp but those drums are deinately out in full force again. The cover has that classic late 60s look and feel and it was still sealed when it arrived - I LOVE opening records that are older than me for the first time. Heaven! And while I'm on the subject of Les Baxter, I heard a UK KPM library record by him recently - typical exotica with african/tribal drumming etc etc. I believe that it is one of a series he did for the label.

Yost" Subject: (exotica) Mike Flowers Pops Date: 17 Jun 1999 19:22:39 -0700 (PDT) UK people -- help us out! I first heard of the Mike Flowers Pops in association with some Aphex Twin thing a few years ago. Never actually heard the music, but recall reading that the MFP were an EZ/soft pop Brit band that everyone seemed to dismiss as deadly dull and super cheesy (not in the good way). Now fast forward to the present, when after seeing the Austin Powers soundtracks being slagged, I actually gave them a quick listen at work. One of the few tracks I actually liked was "Call Me" by the Mike Flowers Pops. In part, I suppose it's because I just like the song itself, but the arrangement and rendition are really nice, albeit in a non-exciting but appealingly bland way. So what's up with the MFP. Anything else to recommend them, or is "Call Me" a bit of an aberration? I even liked his voice! - Brad # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peter Risser Subject: (exotica) Leroy Holmes Date: 17 Jun 1999 19:10:59 -0700 (PDT) Does anyone know the name of the album that the Leroy Holmes song I, de Sade comes from?

Beautiful packaging. Zimpala (Fantomas, France) This one's coming out in July. Should appeal to fans of Japanese club-pop, Easy Tempo, the Desco stuff. There's some nice downtempo tracks, but mostly its classic funk (trumpets, wacka-wacka guitar, super bass lines, organ: the works) that's completely impossible to resist. Really organic and groovy. Eartha Kitt: Purr-fect -- Greatest Hits (N7/BMG, US) Covers the years 1953-57. Worth getting if only for the photos of the eery looking young Eartha.

Worth" Subject: (exotica) yet more wacky germans Date: 17 Jun 1999 19:45:20 -0000 I was at Alpine Village in Orange County last summer... It's a goofy Hofbrau-type shopping center near Disneyland... They had a record shop, so I browsed around looking for old yodelling records. Most of it was modern crap, but one CD caught my eye. It was called "Music vom Reichsfender Berlin" and had a great picture of a well dressed late 30's dance band on the cover. It was all in German, so I took it up to the middle aged lady at the counter to translate some of the liner notes on the back for me. When I handed her the CD, she turned white and said, "No! No! You don't van zis! Zis is NAZI MUSIC!" She leaned over the counter conspiratorily looking around to see if anyone was evesdropping and whispered to me, "Zis record is BANNED in Germany! The government made ze company stop making it..." I explained that I was looking for European dance bands from the 30's and she said, "No! Zis is just soldiers marching music... You don't want..." and she tried to hide it under the counter. I made her give it back to me, and pointed out that on the back cover, it clearly said "Foxtrott". She said "No March! March! March! You don't want!" She started getting really upset, and her husband came out of the back room to see what was going on. Finally I pulled out my wallet and insisted she sell it to me. She shot her husband a pained expression, and he looked me over with a scowl and nodded to her that it was OK to sell it to me. (I guess I had too much hair to be a skinhead...) They both scowled at me and stood at the door of their shop watching me leave. I'm glad I was so persistent, because the CD is incredible. It has wildly perky songs that sound like they are from the German equivalent of Busby Berkely musicals... One really good one is called "Schoen ist die Welt" and it never fails to make me want to jump up and dance with glee. Another song called "Heut fahr' ich mit dir in die Natur" I had heard before. Apparently Ian Whitcomb translated and adapted it into "Down on Jollity Farm". The chorus sings lines like "der kat mee-yow! der hund bow wow!" while they grunt and moo and baa their lungs out. Very funny stuff. No marching like the lady said, but there was some frantic tap dancing. Who woulda known that those Nazi's could come up with such good peppy novelty material?!

Really organic and groovy. One of my fave 12" singles this spring has been the Zimpala "Mondo Timing Part 1" (Fantomas, FANTOO6-P1), which features the track "Grand Habakuk" (Is this on the new album?). The A side starts off pretty funky, then turns in the next 7 minutes into an incredible stereo action disco record, in a fusion that sounds like Esquivel meets August Darnell. The remix on the flip starts as jazzy loungecore, then spins off into a d&b romp. Don't know if there's a part 2......maybe it's on the album.

I'm 51 years old, been collecting (actually accumulating; had a big fight with a very famous and obnoxious collector about me and those terms) since i'm thirteen, most of the music which is of primary interest to this list was dismissed almost universally when it first came out, either as stupid discount store muzak or bogus fake whatever (it wasn't clear what the 'real' thing was, only that this stuff wasn't it). I knew and still know a few people who bought these records and played them for ambience in their "homes of tomorrow." I loved Quiet Village when it was a hit, but had no impulse to buy the album or pursue the style further. There was a very different and rigorous approach in marketing and A&R to presenting albums and marketing the 'hit single' from that album. A lot of the best and most interesting records were on "cheapo" labels (even if they weren't cheaper!), and also dismissed as garbage or some sort of trickster/specialty marketing, not exactly like covers, but more like consciously trying to sell to people with "bad" taste.

Actually, I find it an interesting topic. I find that most of the music I like tends to be recorded in 1959. I was born that year! Perhaps pure coincidence, or perhaps cosmic signifigance. Yet, most of the music I play I never heard before (besides Popcorn, Quiet Village, Ma-na-ma-na and Herb Alpert stuff) I was in my 30's. Does music heard as a young child somehow carry with you? I asked my mom whether she listened to this kind of thing and it seems not, so this doesn't appear likely for me.

No! You don't van zis! Zis is NAZI MUSIC!" German TV ("Kulturweltspiegel") had a reportage a month ago on a recently published book called Hitler's Airwaves. It's about the Third Reich's equivalent of the BBC World Service, in particular the radioprograms directed to the English speaking audience. In an attempt to make the programs more attractive for them the ministery of propaganda occupied a Swing orchestra (forgot the exact name, but it was Charlie & ....something). This was on special orders of Herr Doktor Joseph Goebbels, assuming that humpa and jodel wouldn't go down well with the average English speaking person (hmm, how wrong can you get...?). So these guys were swinging away in the heart of Berlin on what was then strictly forbidden, not so lovingly named, Hottentottenmusic, while most of their contemporaries were stuck in the icy mud of Russia. I have recorded a few short clips, in real audio or mpeg 3 format, of this reportage. For those interested, they're available on request. Song 1 is Let's go bombing, an English pilot on a special mission to the innocent women and children of the Reich, song 2 is You're on top, an English pilot singing the praise of his German counterpart. Also have a fragment (in German) from a Nazi film about the cultural value of jazz, a sweeping statement about the American appreciation of swing straight from its birthplace (well, it's only a movie), New Orleans: "Hier ist die Geburtsstaette des Swing. Dieser primitive Negerrummel wird von den Yankees haemmungslos uebernommen. Und das in einem Lande das sich anmasst die Kultur der ganzen Menschheit retten zu wollen."

Well, I am 30 on Monday (no, I'm happy about it!) and have been buying record LPS since I was 6! My first LP I got that I remember was Sonny Bono's "Inner Visions" for my 3rd (!) birthday. It was taken away from me because it spoke about "your sister's cooking sturgeon and your mother is a virgin" or something like that. I kept singing along, and my dad went spare! However, it was refound by my sis, taken, and later stolen from her apartment. I always liked pop and such like. I was tracking down Ventures LPs from the age of 9 as well as looking for Enoch Light at the same age (Permissive Polyphonics was the first LP I heard by him, but I didn't get it until Robbie Baldock ordered me a copy about 3 years ago!). I would say I have been a music obsessive since 6 as I got my first stereo then and saved my $25 allowances for records. I still have a few of my childhood records. I only really discovered Baxter when I was 19/20 through Chris & Cosey who dedicated "Exotika" to him.

The only other thing I've heard was a rendition of Light my Fire, in the style of Nelson Riddle's version with a nice acoustic guitar intro. I quite liked that, I actually heard it out in Barcelona where he seems to be taken quite seriously as an easy artist. The Catalan station CentSix (I think, 106 anyway) played the song a lot, alongside Dino, Sergio Mendes whoever. That was a great radio station. It was about 3 years ago so I don't know if its still the same format. There was also a great cheesy old club called La Paloma which was wonderful. It had the most bizarre playlist I've ever heard out. Latin, Surf, Old soul, Dire Straits, and tracks off the first Clash LP. You'd be wondering what they would put on next. and 2 live bands in rotation all night. I could go on and on....I loved the place. Its very well known having been there since 1908 or something.

(Full program listed below.) Raymond Scott's merry melodies underscored the mayhem of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. His music has also been heard in Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons, and Animaniacs. Ironically, Scott never wrote a note for cartoon in his life! Explore the magic of this overlooked composer's legacy. Scott's music has lately been revived by Don Byron and the Kronos Quartet, and has been sampled twice by Soul Coughing. At SummerStage, a septet of ace New York musicians brings Scott's quirky novelties into the next century, performing modernistic interpretations of 11 RS compositions, many of which are familiar to every earthling from countless classic Warner Bros. cartoons. the Orchestrette features: Wayne Barker (piano Brian Dewan (keyboards, electronics, electric zither Michael Hashim (alto & soprano sax Will Holshouser (accordion George Rush (bass Rob Thomas (violin Clem Waldmann (drums Gates open 1:30 PM, showtime 3:00 PM.

Yeah, I have a theory about this -- we like what we heard while we were in the womb. I'm reading this book called _Smell: The Secret Seducer_, which talks about how fetuses develop a sense of smell quite early on in the womb. I would imagine that sound and music leave strong impressions in the womb as well -- I'm sure we've all seen the studies done about this. I was born in '67, and there are some songs from that era that make me feel vaguely nostalgic, even though I have no recollection of those eras -- especially any mellow sort of baroque pop. -- Kerry # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: (exotica) quiet village Date: 18 Jun 1999 16:48:25 +0200 My buddy Peter, who is on the list but is quite silent...

It's a film of about 90 minutes, the first hour of which is an entertaining if innocuous comedy. Seems Hugh Herbert is a millionaire in upstate New York who's decided to give his money to a relative right now instead of after his death. But he's very particular and doesn't want the recipient of his dough to be morally questionable, so s/he must not smoke, drink, fool around, or attend the theatre. Dick Powell is his distant nephew who's got a dandy Broadway show ready to go, if he can only get a backer. Ruby Keeler is the millionaire's distant niece (she and Powell are sweethearts, even though they are 13th cousins), and her parents are in line to receive ten million from uncle Ezra, if they prove moral enough. Whatever. In the last half hour of the movie, they drop all pretense of plot and treat the viewer to 30 minutes of surreal Busby Berkeley set pieces and camera tricks that are supposedly playing out on a Broadway stage (not a chance in hell they could stage these in a Broadway theatre; you'd need a football stadium). I won't even try to describe them, except to say that even though I've never been a drug-taking man, I couldn't help but imagine how it would be to watch that hallucinatory 30 minutes while high or hopped up on goofballs. The first 15 minutes are devoted to "I Only Have Eyes for You" (I think it was introduced in this film; Powell sings it over and over and over.) The second fifteen are filled with a song called "Dames," the lyrics of which remind us that people don't go to the theatre for plot, acting, or songs, but just to stare at the titular dames. And actually, the dames in the number are for the most part pretty easy on the eyes. You must see this film. I can't begin to describe it but you must witness this amazing half hour of Berkeley madness. I don't know if it's available on video but it shows up on either AMC or Turner Classic Movies (I don't remember which) occasionally.

The chances these musicians actually WERE Nazis is as big as the chance t= hat ALL Americans are cowboys. ;D However your description made me curious. I understand it's a CD with old music, not a modern put-on or something. Could it be that the correct tit= le is "Musik vom Reichssender Berlin"?

He used to drive around and visit all kinds of locations that could possibly have blues records. When he found some, he would buy all copies in the shop and destroy them except for the one copy of each record that he would add to his collection. Why he did so, I don't know.

I do dig the stuff that my dad liked, though, like the Ventures and Herb Alpert and Arthur Lyman. It was through listening to his overplayed and mistreated LPs that I came to like exotica. (I still have the Taboo Vol.2 with the red crayon marks on it!) And not too far off from Laura, one of my cars is an '86 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Station Wagon that was Grandpas. I put a $300 stereo in it and groove with the Capitol UL series and Donald Fagen Kamakiriad (sp) I also have a little Honda Civic with 250 watts of ground thumping for those techno-fits that I occasionally go through as well and head blowing Zepplin and a few loungy early stereophonic things from the Command label. That is also where my Brimstones tape lives (playing tonight in Fords, NJ write me for details) My wife's car that we spend time together in is a '92 Blazer with a bunch of 1980s progressive music, like Depeche Mode and the Cure and the Smiths. I made her a cocktail tape that gets played when I drive. And there is no country music allowed within 100 yards of my house. Even if you have Shania Twain looks.

This reminded me, I wanted to tell you about the scratched CD I had repaired. Apparently there is a machine that is designed to polish the scratches of out CD's. A used CD shop in Boston bought one, primarily to polish CD's for resale, but they will polish CD's for customers for $2. I brought in a very scratched CD ( CD1 out of the 3 CD Best of the Capitol Years by Sinatra) at least 3 tracks out of 26 did not work, and maybe more than that. The shop polished the CD at it looks good except for 3 scratches that they said were "too deep" and they "dare not go any further". They probably could have polished more, the mirror side of the CD is the thickest. Was it worth it? I still do not know. I have 23 tracks that work great. Still over an hour of music. To replace it would mean buying 3 CD's. If you have a scratched CD that does not track getting it repolished might not work. They cannot or will not go down deep enough to remove the deep scratches that may be causing the mistracking. Anybody else ever had this done? Can a mistracking CD ever be totally repaired?

Actually, I have a theory that these are just two halves of a more general phenomenon. Like Byron, I think people feel a certain curiosity and allure for the artifacts from right around the year of their birth--for me this includes not just music, but also all other areas of late-50s design like kitchen appliances, typography, etc. It's something to do with growing up surrounded by leftovers from that era. They just feel vaguely familar. But since they are not directly linked to any experiences of living through the time, they can become somehow more evocative--so perhaps it allows you to create a more glamorous "imagined" version of that era. However I find that almost *no one* is ever nostalgic about the world they personally lived through as a 13-year old! In fact, I find that there is a natural "horizon of revulsion," where you can predict pretty reliably what a person of any age will think is cool or uncool. So twentysomethings gleefully revive 70s clothing fashions, where somone my age tends to go, "gaack!" However, this isn't a perfect theory, because lately I've started to develop a perverse interest in Disco. . . maybe it still works, though, since I wouldn't have been caught dead listening to Disco as a teenager, and what I like best of all is the weirder "inappropriate Disco" (Ferrante & Teicher's _Classical Disco_, etc.) Anyway, it always seemed to me that if you really refined the "Horizon of Revulsion" theory scientifically, you could make a killing in the Collectibles market. I really regret that 10 years ago I didn't carry out my plan to buy one of every object I could find that was covered in wood-grained vinyl--TVs, Kleenex-holders, etc. It would have made one hell of an impressive room! And according to my theory, once the generation born in 1975 reaches their prime earning years, it would have been worth a small fortune.

Not only does it have the fabulous lighted violin sequence (Shadow Waltz), but also the controversial "Forgotten Man", which is a serious number (featuring Ruby Keeler dubbed by Marian Anderson).

Which means you're headed to the Linwood Grille and the record-release party for Seks Bomba's fantastic Operation B.O.M.B.A. (YaYa), an exquisite collection of suspenseful slinkage, surfish polyesterism, and crime-noir clatter. (See "Cellars by Starlight," in Arts.) Also on tonight's bill are Auto 66, Herald (and occasional Phoenix) scribe Tristram Lozaw's ticking-time-bomb improv ensemble; Pete Weiss and the Rock Band; and Combustible Edison sultan of swank DJ Brother Cleve. That's at 69 Kilmarnock Street in the Fenway; call 267-8644. Please note the adjective "fantastic" in the copy.

I seriously doubt anyone was convinced, if they listened to these broadcasts at all. The music was a full ten years behind the sound that the American soldiers were listening to at the time, and the orchestra was so copmpletely bereft of syncopation, the music came out sounding very strange. A lot of the music had specialty jokey propaganda lyrics. Those are funny, but when they would do a non-vocal number, it came out incredibly weird.

The music that I seem to be attracted to the most was always played in cinemas before the film started and in the fab attractions on fairs that only the elder kids were allowed to attend, like auto-scooter. So I believe my fascination for it comes from the wish to be part of that world I was too little to join at that time.

AMC shows it every couple months so I'll check the schedules and issue a retina alert. In a big nutshell: Glorious 40's psychedelic technicolor that explodes off the screen, red-hot bombshell peak-era Carmen Miranda as "The Lady In The Tutti Frutti Hat," prune-faced Everett Everett Horton(the narrator of Fractured Fairy tales on Bullwinkle),rows of mustachioed organ grinders with their tin-cup wielding monkeys, wise-cracking high-kicking long-limbed eccentric dancer Charlotte Greenwood, sparkling blue-eyed ruby-slipper-red luscious-lipped Alice Faye singing "No Love No Nothin Until My Baby Comes Home," a swingin Benny Goodman & his band doin "Minnie's in the Money" and "Pooh Pooh Paducah," a very weird "Polka Dot Polka" dance number, spurting fountains and the disembodied heads of the cast floating in the air singing the finale, and the famous truly truly mind-blowing banana ballet with scores of barefoot tropically-clad chorus girls waving huge 6-foot bananas in undulating syncronization, with some amazing overhead shots of the bananas being raised and lowered over kaleidoscopic arrays of legs opening and closing as the bananas descend, not to mention all the lingering camera shots of the girls' cute 'lil bare feets. WHEW!!!! Forgive my gushing, but I did see this at the midnight movies (a Nocturnal Dream Show with SF's notorious Cockettes in the early 70's) and let's just say I was very neurologically receptive to the experience at the time, and have cherished the movie ever since. It must be seen to be believed, and now I'm going to hunt for my VCR tape because i still don't believe it. I think the banana ballet segment appears in one of the "That's Entertainment" movies, and I recall seeing a fine clip-filled documentary on Busby somewhere on TV.

And if you're accusing us of 'cultural thievery' for apreciating non-white British music, you may want to note that you lot simply dismiss or ignore Black American culture, it takes a nation like ours to appreciate and celebrate Black American music, taking soul, funk, reggae, disco, hip hop and house and accepting them as a part of the mainstream rather than as some sort of sub-cultural undercurrent.

You're all invited to my birthday party! Anyway, the first record I bought was Highway to Hell by Ac/Dc when I was 10 or 11 years old. At the same time I was raised on German Schlagers (I live in the Netherlands, not far from the German border) and the sound of my father playing popular melodies on the trumpet. Got into Zappa, Stravinsky and modern jazz when I was 15 or 16 years old. For some reasons I got fed up with rock and other "normal" music, so I started looking for more exotic things (for most of my friends listening to Zappa, Monk and Mingus made me look exotic enough already!). Then along came the first volume of Incredibly Strange Music in 1994. At the same time I got to know a guy from Amsterdam who introduced me to the wonderful world of wacky records. Since then I almost completely lost my interest in the music that's made today. I'm still going back in time. Did you know that the 20s and 30s produced some beautiful music too?

Are you sure? Was the album put out that early as well? The 10" of 'Ritual of the savage/Le sacre du sauvage' (Capitol H288) was to my knowledge released in 1952, so the track may indeed be recorded in 1951. By the way, I'm the proud owner of a copy of that 10". Found it a couple of years ago at a film fair. Very cheap too. I was rather excited!

Most of the records played on the northern soul scene were unappreciated 'failures' when first released, being deemed inferior Motown copies, unreleased Motown material, or just released on too small a label to ever get anywhere.

While I still can, I guess I should confess to being 39. Chalk up yet another 59er. I don't feel especially drawn to any particular period of music. To borrow a Kurt Vonnegut phrase, "I seem to have become unstuck in time." I do tend to favor recordings that are less pieced together from overdubs... more of a genuine, real-time performance, which generally means material from the mid-60s on back. But there are still recordings made like that today, so... Speaking of 20s and 30s music, if you're not familiar with them, you really owe it to yourself to check out the 30s recordings by Slim Gaillard and Slam Stewart ("Slim & Slam"). Terrific, casually brilliant stuff like "Flat Foot Floogie". Various companies have cd comps out. That story about the German cd is so strange. If the cd sends the shopkeepers into such conniptions, why the heck do they have it in the store in the first place?!? The only logical answer I can imagine is that they get it in hush hush for "special" customers, but it accidently went out onto the rack. And their distress was actually over having a stranger stumble onto it? Weird. My favorite "Quiet Village" is Mr. B's original version. I know, it's a very safe choice, but it's still my favorite. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jschwart@voicenet.com Subject: Re: (exotica) The ages on this list Date: 18 Jun 1999 13:48:14 On Fri, 18 Jun 1999 11:07:23 +0100 (BST), Jill Mingo wrote: >My first LP I got that I remember was Sonny Bono's "Inner Visions" for my 3rd (!) birthday.

Follow me on this if you will. My family always had Buicks. My mother's Uncle Chick owned the Packard / Buick dealership in Hickory, North Carolina in the 1930's thru the 50's. Needless to say, the whole family drove either Buicks or Packards. Chick would take a trade on a 2 year old excellent vehicle then call someone in the family needing a car. Well, I never knew Chick but he was supposedly the "dandy" of the 8 brothers and sisters (by the 1960's the word "playboy" would replaced "dandy"). My relatives always described his fast paced life style, impeccable clothes, love "follies" (as they called affairs) and zest for life. So here is the answer to the car question: I have a 1951 Buick that I restored a few years back. The 51 Special came to me by happenstance and was not a year I sought out. The 51 Buick (as all pre-solid state car radios) had a vacuum tube radio and operated by a "vibrator" (now that sounds erotic not exotic!). The vibrator converts DC current to AC current to power the tubes better. Two radios were offered, one being the standard with 5 pushbuttons that each had a letter and together spelled B U I C K. The deluxe radio was the Wonderbar that had one large button (that still said BUICK) that you pushed and the radio would seek the next station. The Wonderbar radio also had a foot switch that did the same thing so you did not have to hit the "wonderbar" with your hand. I have patched a CD player very inconspicuously under the dash and play mostly Baxter, Denny, Lyman and Sumac while tooling in my Buick. I discovered my next link to 1951 about 6 years ago. Hold on for Part 2 # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) 1951: Baxter, Quiet, Denny, Yma, 60 Minute, Buick and Tiki Bob - Date: 19 Jun 1999 14:15:48 EDT Part 2 I had gotten into Exotica about 5 years ago - 2 years after I restored the Buick. I discovered that some key things happened in 1951. Baxter wrote Quiet Village and recorded the RITUAL OF THE SAVAGE album for Capitol. Yma Sumac was discovered and did her first recordings also. Denny was hammering out tunes at Don the Beachcomber's and also at Henry Kaiser's Hawaiian Village. Additionally, and the significance of this may be lost on some of the list members, The Domino's recorded "Sixty Minute Man" which ushered in the recorded era of Beach Music. Beach Music was previously called Race Music and basically included black bands playing jazzy (and racy) music for the white middle class in the Carolinas. The Race Music term came from them being a different race (that white) and not from the racy lyrics. It had been around for 20 years but never recorded because the lyrics were "objectionable". For sure, parents did not like the lyrics to Sixty Minute Man that describes the actions of the singer with his girl: They'll be fifteen minutes of teasing . . . then she'll holler, "Please don't stop!" They'll be fifteen minutes of squeezing . . . Then fifteen minutes of pleasing . . . Then fifteen minutes of blowing my top! So if your man ain't treating you right, come up and see old Dan. I'll rock 'um, roll 'um all night long cause I'm a sixty minute man. We'll while others of you were growing up in punk or pop (and some even in exotica), I grew up in the typically Carolina preppy world of Beach Music. My highschool and college years (1976-1984) were spent shagging the nights away to both recorded beach music and live bands. And yes, the dance "The shag" was named such because of it's racy (there's that word again) similarity to "doing it. Just one more reason that parents hated Beach Music. Fathers had been in England during WW II and knew just was "shagging" was. Buicks, Baxter, Quiet Village, Denny, Sixty Minute Man and Exotica -- all 1951 connections for me. So there you have it. My affinity and affection for 1951. Hope you enjoyed the convoluted ride. While twisty, it's always smooth in a big Buick (with the Fireball Straight 8 engine and Dynaflow drive).

Date: 19 Jun 1999 14:43:02 EDT This is an All-Points Bulletin: Two nights ago, I went into my 1920s/30s record collection to discover to my horror that during the last record purge 9 months or more ago, I'd got rid of the stuff I wanted to save! Has this ever happened to anybody? I dropped off the pile of records ironically at the same store I'd bought them from and sold it to them! I didn't realize my mistake because I just dropped off a pile of them and then later the buyer called me and told me over the phone with a price. I am so upset about this I haven't been able to sleep well in days. About 80% of my small collection is on the Saville label - a British import label that was re-issuing the stuff on LP format about 10 years ago. I am on the verge of tears over this. A terrible loss. I called the record store and they say that Saville did release a bunch of stuff on CD eventually but that they are out of print. I spent hours on the internet looking for a Saville record label site, to no avail. I looked for some inkling of a 1920s/30s music newsgroup, to no avail. WMI on the internet had some odds and ends but can't tell if it is Saville label... Gemm had no Saville label in their system but had alot of Harlequin label (which used to specialize in this area as well, but now seem to be heavily into Latin and Cuban issues)... so I may end up ordering some stuff, but it won't be the same as the Saville stuff. Does anyone know of a good source to either buy such records, or of CDs that are available - or of a newsgroup where I might find people who would know what I'm talking about? I know there are a few of you at least on this list into this music (Jill MIngo?) that might be able to help me find vinyl or the CD reissues or even tell me how to get ahold of Saville.

Date: 19 Jun 1999 14:56:40 EDT Hi list members: Mike of Pineapplehead has got a tiki bar on the website for sale right now. Has been refinished and looks great. I know there's a few of you out there that would like to get a tiki bar but don't have a source. Mike of Pineapplehead is a rattan and Wakefield refinisher and he's bought and sold quite a few tiki bars in the past year. Last time I was at his shop he had 4 tikibars in various states of repair (boy, I wish I had the money to buy one.... but I don't). Usually he doesn't even get to list them because they get bought by buyers who show up for something else and then see the tiki bar and buy it immediately. So anyway, this one made it to the website: http://www.pineapplehad.com/images/grfbrfrnt.jpg The main site is: http://www.pineapplehead.com 95% of his business is done via the internet and the mail, so don't worry about shipping. You can email him directly off the website. I have been bugging him to put the pictures of all the other tikibars that have come through there on a separate webpage called "tikibars," but so far it hasn't happened. In any case, if you are looking for a bar and have some money - here's your chance. Also, if you are interested in getting vintage rattan or Heywood Wakefield furniture, he is your man. - Michele # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) The Bachelor's Guide to The Galaxy Date: 19 Jun 1999 15:02:08 EDT Did someone on the list say that Vol 1 of this series had all good songs?

My first LP I got that I remember was Sonny Bono's >"Inner Visions" for my 3rd (!) birthday. I'm surprised by how young most of you seem to be. Or at least most of you who admitted your age. I know lots of people your ages and younger - "in real life" - who have become obsessed with all this kind of music but still I have to admit, it always suprises me. Myself I'm very interested in old country blues from the twenties and thirties and even I wasn't alive back then, so it's not like I think you have to have been alive in order to appreciate the music of a certain era. I was alive when the vast majority of the music we discuss here was produced but I wasn't interested in the vast majority of it at the time. In fact, to the degree I was aware of it, I hated most of it. And tolerated the rest of it. Anyway, it's a good lesson for me to be once again reminded not to assume any relationship between musical taste and age. The other day at the record store, I had an argument with my friend the owner over an early 60's Johnny Cash LP he had put out for thirty bucks, which I thought was a bit much. Then he left for a while and a little girl of thirteen or so came in with her friend. I was about to direct them to the Bush CD's when she asked if we had any Johnny Cash. I pointed out the record I had just argued over. She started to squeal and jump up and down in excitement, proclaiming "That's the one! I've been looking for this my whole life!!!" The price was no object. This was the holy grail. She laid down the money and floated out of there, still squealing in delight.

Less an accusation than an observation and it is admirable that you mainstream all types of music in England. I recall the culture clubs and the different music nights in London in the mid 80's when I last visited. That's done here as well. Its radio here that's messed up, not the appreciation of music. Radio is formatted to death here in the U.S.and very exclusionary. R&B enjoys a stronger following here than you might think, however. Practically every major city now has a "Jammin'" station which plays all rap and hip-hop. The hardest R&B stuff to find on the air is 6T's soul, funk, and pre-rap black music. I was saying that American popular music is the music that the British like best. The British Invasion as we call it here was essentially recycled Americana re-packaged and sold to us as British music. And we bought it when it was sitting here under our noses the whole time. But to say we (presumably American "whites") ignore Black American culture is simply untrue.

Somewhere in my boxes of records in storage (*sniff*) I've got a record called "Lord Haw Haw's Greatest Hits" which is a collection of the wartime propaganda broadcasts by "Lord Haw Haw" which is pretty neat. "Lord Haw Haw" (William Joyce) was an American who lived most of his life in Ireland before going to Germany in 1939 to join the Nazi Ministry of Propaganda where he began broadcasting a series of cynical programmes aimed to disrupting the British war effort. He was tried and hanged for treason after the war (he had managed to obtain a British Passport when he was living in Ireland so the British were able to get him) While most of this record is Haw Haw berating the British War effort it does have some music which I remember as been very very odd. http://earthstation1.com/Lord_Haw_Haw.html Has more info. & some wav files..

I can remember hearing Pretty Woman, Hermans Hermits and Beatles stuff on the radio around 1964. What's New Pussycat I liked alot. Roger Miller's Greatest Hits on Smash was the first record i can actually remember buying. I just had to have "You Can't Roller Skate in A Buffalo Herd". I can even remember the store. A place called G.E.T. on Sloat Blvd in San Francisco. It was during the holidays. Lime Old Spice, English Leather, lifesaver gift packs and vodka were other "gifts" in the shopping cart. A couple years later I listened to (for some strange reason) Stella's Got A Brand New Dress from "The Two Sides Of The Smothers Brothers" over and over again. Ditto with the Lonely Bull. I can also recall an Around The World or Music Man soundtrack, a Buddy Hackett LP and a 45 of Halloween sounds. All this before 1967. Then the summer of love came and i got serious with Blood Sweat And Tears and Creedence Clearwater Revival records, which I still have today. And I'll never forget my little buddy, Eric Schwartz, who turned me onto a 45 of Eric Burdon's Sky Pilot which we would listen to again and again and again. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: Re: (exotica) APB: I sold the wrong records!

He travels to Seattle to meet velvet painting collectors; one of the "experts" hangs out in a place called "the Tiki Lounge". From there he goes to Tahiti in order to find out if his velvet lady was painted by Leeteg, the most famous of the velvet painters. It isn't.

Another one was _Marching Along with the Dukes of Dixieland_(Audio Fidelity)--which I know I've seen before and passed up. Audio Fidelity got the jump on the major labels in releasing a lot of early stereo disks--but among the 200 stereo titles available by September 1958 another notable one was Ferrante & Teicher's _Heavenly Sound_ on ABC-Paramount--I'm still looking for that one! The book mentions a sprinkling of other titles, some classical, some jazz, but nothing else exotica--related. . . anyone else know of other stereo exotica LPs from 1958?

Originally published in 1959, I read the slightly-revised 1976 edition. I use the term "finished" pretty loosely, since it was 500 pages of 9-point type, in an extremely labored writing style. But there were a couple of things I wanted to mention to the list about it. . . There are lots of people around today who proclaim that vinyl is still superior to CDs--but I had no idea that there had been an *earlier* era of reactionaries who felt that things have been going downhill ever since the Edison cylinder! Our authors here make it quite clear that they think: * The original vertical ("hill and dale") groove cutting is inherently superior to the lateral groove modulation adopted by everyone after the Berliner-style disk became popular. (This doesn't make a BIT of sense to me and I can think of about 3 objections to it.) * Cylinders are preferable to disks because cutting and playback can be done at a constant, optimum velocity; disks might be made acceptible if the rotation speed increased towards the center, but even so the geometry of the stylus in the groove becomes "cramped" (This observation actually has some truth to it. And of course CDs do use variable rotation speed). * Acoustic recording and playback may actually be preferable to "electrical" amplification, because you do not use transducers to convert between mechanical and electical energy. (With acoustic recording we are talking about a system which covers a bandwith of about 200-4000 Hz with an enormous hump in the middle of the response.) * Artistically, the style of recordings has gone to hell too, with "excessive" bass and treble as a concession to popular taste; and worst of all, the practice of including room reverberation in the recording itself. Instead, the authors feel the only valid practice is recording the artists absolutely "dry," and allowing the acoustics of your own music room (my what?) provide the correct ambiance. * Edison is the One True God and all others are Base Vermin. (OK, they didn't say that *exactly*, but that's the basic thrust of some extremely tedious discussions of patent battles, priority, etc.) * The book ends with a mentions of 1975's very latest "video disc" system: As a vertically modulated signal on a foil substrate, they see it as a trimuphant vindication of all of Edison's principles. Unfortunately for the authors, I have never even HEARD of this "Teledec" system--it was limited to 10 minutes of video. (Meanwhile, the embryonic Philips laserdisc system also mentioned turned out to be the only video disc format which had any commercial life. Of course the authors dismiss video TAPE as wholly impractical for home use.) Yow! I love my LPs, but I wonder if some of the more extreme statements of today's vinylphiles will seem this cranky thirty years from now. . . analogically, --Ross || Ross "Mambo Frenzy" Orr || Ann Arbor, Michigan USA # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: (exotica) Ernie Freeman and other records Date: 20 Jun 1999 13:52:38 -0400 Ernie Freeman "Limbo Dance Party". The best limbo record I've ever heard. I can't stop playing it. And I haven't even bent forwards for years, let alone backwards. Another new quasi-exotica obsession. Tony Joe White. (He has a tune called "Voodoo Village" if you need some exotica credibility.) His LP's are not that easy to find but I finally found two in the last month. And a record by a French fellow named Joe Dassin who seems to be obsessed with Tony Joe too. Tony Joe, for those who haven't heard him, is sort of a swamp-fried blues n boogie guy, obsessed with the devil, who sings/talks his way through little stories which all sound approximately the same. Next LP... And this one's mostly for JimmyBee. Have you heard the 1910 Fruitgum Company LP called "Hard Ride". It's like their conceptual art-rock biker freakout. You wouldn't know it's them. Highly recommended, even if you like their bubblegum stuff and I do. And for Jane Fondle. My friend Scott, the used record store owner who's composing my soundtrack, totally gets your Scott Walker/Jack Jones thing and when I told him about the Legrand record, he put it on and had to agree with you. I didn't really hear it myself until he lent me this CD by Scott "Stretch/We had it all", which is I guess two albums reissued together. Scott's voice sounds different somehow doing Carole King and Gordon Lightfoot covers. I really heard the Jack Jones thing on "No Easy Way Down", which I knew more from Mark Eitzel's first solo CD than from "Dusty in Memphis".

A Bravo release, so the back says nothing about the mysterious Merlin -- columns of record titles with names of no-name musicians doing stuff like Cocktails in Manhattan or Latin Goes Percussion or "Hymns" Sunday USA, Cliff Simpson Sings. Citizen Kafka recently said these budget labels often have the most incredible music. So right, Citizen. Little known or unknown or masquerading musicians playing for the buck, making music too strange to make it onto radio, yet waiting the day when their music and records would land in a loving home. There's something so um, blindly optimistic in the best of these records, so unvarnished and naked in the enthusiasm that fires the musicians' play. At last they've found their audience in the eXoticats. I hope some of these troopers visit eBay or even this list so they will know someone out there cherishes what they did. Like SH-FO.... I'm nuts for it. Jumpin' jive arrangements of Too Close for Comfort or In the Still of the Night (a bit exotic and dreamy -- the softer side of Merlin), with Merlin going at it on his organ accompanied by a dirty tenor sax, a stand-up bass, and someone joyously whacking a basic drum kit. Man, I want to be jitterbuggin' my ass off at that lounge where Merlin & boys held forth! Nat would dig this record although it might be too boisterous for his current tastes. :) So would Ross. A different example of such records is Congo Percussion by Cawanda on Pirouette. Yep, that's Pirouette. Authentic hot African music with much call and response singing in Swahili by mixed male/female musicians. The drumming is incredible. "It was an experience being Present as the songs were 'played-back' to the hypercritical ears of the performers....Such unabashed dancing and jumping around had never been seen in the studio before....Joy in the drums -- Joy in just hearing a good -- yes, excellent -- reproduction of their Taboo Drum Session." A Columbia LP (66) fell into my hands: Music, A Part of Me, David McCallum Conducts Personal Impressions of One Two Three, Turn, Turn, Turn, A Taste of Honey, The "In" Crowd, Downtown, We Gotta Get Outta This Place, and, yes!, Satisfaction. Now Ilya must have written the arrangements between takes for The Man from U.N.C.L.E., or at least that's my fantasy. Did you know that before he became an actor David studied oboe and English horn at London's Royal Academy of Music? That family members performed piano, violin, violincello? That David was schooled in music theory and harmony? Which explains why these personal impressions were arranged and conducted by David himself; why the wan oboe and noble English horns switch off in carrying the melody for Satisfaction, an dumb choice for an instrumental anyway. Why my husband stumbled into our living room at 2 am Saturday morning awakened by my cackles, saying "WHAT are you listening to?" The appeal of this record isn't only inappropriate arrangements and instrumentation; McCallum's Taste of Honey is sensuous and groovy, and McCallum's original composition, called Insomnia, packed in crime jazzy cool. Plus the cover shot of David looking serious and handsome is enough to revive the mad crush I had on him as a kid. Look for this one, despite its sluggish Motown covers.

By freely sharing details of content and style, pleasures and critique, we really have been participating in a major achievement in collecting and participatory musical enjoyment. Made possible by the internet, yet intimately bound to the personal and sensual act of record-playing. It is gratifying and exciting to discuss and hear others speak of phonograph records that i have enjoyed in squalid isolation for all these years (don't be jealous, it's just that i'm older, so i've had more time to do it!!).

Well, I'm an attorney but don't practice civil law, so copyrights are not my forte. I didn't plan to put the extra copy up on Ebay, but it made more sense than throwing it out. If it is a technical violation of someone's copyright, it's one of hundreds that pop up there every day.

The videos section regularly sports dozens of people selling their own transfers of films (never released on video) from the vaults of 20th Century Fox and others, and they are >not< public domain titles. Whatever the legality of it is, I don't think it's ethically wrong to make copies of recordings that have not been issued. I DO have a problem with people who make copies of freely available CDs and tapes, which rob the artists of their fair share. But an unreleased recording makes no royalties for anyone, so to my mind, it's no harm, no foul.

I guess I should have been more straight forward with what was on my mind. Firstly, I don't have any moral or ethical problem with sharing copyrighted artwork (music, film, literature, etc.) with friends and acquaintances. In fact I occasionally post to the mailing list that I'm interested in trading MP3s of easy/lounge/now/exotica/soundtrack albums. I currently have over a hundred albums digitized to highest quality MP3s and am always happy to trade them with folks Sorry to ramble, but the point was that I love sharing music with other people, also. Secondly, I think I was a bit bummed that the Enoch Light CD was on eBay already, because I was interested in it, and I know eBay frowns on the selling of this kind of stuff and therefore I wouldn't really want to bid on it publicly. I would have no problem buying a copy from you or anyone else directly or trading something for it. Thirdly, it was late when I read this and I was tired and I get a bit ornery. I should have been sleeping. I guess as long as eBay doesn't really care or do anything then who does it hurt. Oh, yeah that was another thing. I have a friend locally who was selling some bootleg videos on eBay and they were pretty darn obscure, weird old Mexican & Hong Kong horror films and eBay got all over his case and discontinued his service. Which wasn't a big deal, but it was slightly inconvenient for him. This was about a year and a half ago, maybe by now they have such a huge volume that they don't really care and can't really keep tabs on folks anyway. Well, that's it from me. Sorry again if I came off as a schmuck with my first posting. I am a schmuck, but I don't like to make it so damn obvious. -Roy # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Subject: (exotica) Exotica Loss?

He was 58. Known as Screaming Lord Sutch, he was Britain's longest-serving party leader. He never won a race, despite running in scores of them, but one of his party members was once elected mayor in a town in southwest England. With his top hat and gold lame suit, Sutch blared his party's madcap policies through a rusty loudspeaker from one corner of the land to the other. Sutch, who legally changed his name to add the ``Lord,'' founded the Monster Raving Loony Party in 1963 and first ran for Parliament in 1964. He went on to enter some 40 elections over more than 30 years. The campaign style of Sutch and his followers irritated more traditional candidates but delighted many British voters. And at least one of his policies -- all-day pub openings -- later became a reality. Attempts to price him and other ``nonsense'' candidates out of the election scene by increasing the deposit from $240 to $800 backfired in 1985 -- prompting even more carnival figures, clowns and self-described clueless ones to join his ranks. During the 1960s, Sutch was a rock singer and until recently performed up to 250 concerts a year throughout Europe. *Emma Lowery Massey LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Emma Lowery Massey, who may have been the oldest person in the world, died Monday. Although she never had the records to prove her age, friends said they believed she was 118. And the nursing home where she lived since 1990 recorded her birthdate as being Jan. 15, 1881. Had Mrs. Massey been able to prove her age, she would have held the Guinness Book of World Records' distinction of being the world's oldest person. Mrs. Massey was known for her high spirits and love of gospel music as well as listening to Bible passages on tape. She had been blind for about a decade. *Francine Everett NEW YORK (AP) -- Francine Everett, an entertainer known for her roles in the all-black films of the 1930s and '40s, died May 27. She gave her birth year as 1920 however she was already appearing with a nightclub variety act by 1933. Ms. Everett became familiar to audiences fin low-budget independent black films like ``Keep Punching'' in 1939, ``Big Timers'' in 1945 and ``Dirty Gerty from Harlem U.S.A.'' in 1946. She also worked with Sidney Poitier in ``No Way Out,'' her final film, in 1950. The entertainer was well known for her vocal abilities, which brought her featured voice roles in more than 50 short musical films of the 1940s. She also modeled. Ms. Everett retired from show business in the 1950s and worked until 1985 as a clerk at Harlem Hospital. SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. (AP) -- Clifton Fadiman, a writer, book editor, radio and television entertainer who was host of the popular radio show ``Information Please'' in the 1930s, died Sunday. He was 95. Fadiman, who died at his son's home, was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer last October, said his wife, Annalee Whitmore Fadiman. The two lived on Captiva Island, Fla., off Florida's Gulf coast. Fadiman most recently served as general editor on several publications, including ``World Poetry'' and the fourth edition of one of his own works, ``The Lifetime Reading Plan.'' He penned more than 65 introductions to a wide range of editions including ``War and Peace,'' ``The Martian Chronicles'' and ``Six by Seuss.'' He was awarded the National Book Award for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 1993. ``He had a quick, entertaining mind and was never boring for a second,'' Mrs. Fadiman said Sunday. In 1985, he was honored as an editor for ``A World Treasury of Children's Literature,'' Britannica Junior Encyclopedia, the Young Children's Encyclopedia and other works, winning the Dorothy C. McKenzie Award for contribution to children's literature. But for many who knew him, Fadiman probably will be best remembered for his mostly anonymous role as senior judge for the Book-of-the-Month Club. It's a relationship he fostered for more than half a century, starting in the early '40s. Despite losing his sight, he continued to make selections, listening to audio versions well into his 90s. Fadiman referred to a quotation he attributed to Aldous Huxley, who expressed concerns about science destroying human and political values in his 1932 satirical novel ``Brave New World,'' as a theme in his own life. ``Let's be a little kinder to each other,'' Fadiman said during an interview in March 1997. A native of New York, Fadiman began his career -- a term he reserved for sports figures -- in 1925 as a teacher at Ethical Culture High School, better known as Fieldston. Four years later, he switched professions, first becoming associate editor and then editor-in-chief at Simon & Schuster. During that time, Fadiman wrote articles and became Book Editor for The New Yorker, a position he held from 1933 to 1943. Fadiman also tried his hand at radio, serving as master of ceremonies for the top-10 hit ``Information Please,'' which ran for a decade starting in 1938. The show consisted of a panel of experts who were quizzed by the audience. That was followed by the television program ``This is Show Business,'' and another stint on radio as the host of ``Conversation'' from 1954-57. He became a member of the selection committee for the Book-of-the-Month Club in 1944, eventually taking on the titles of senior judge, chief editorial adviser and finally chairman emeritus in 1997. Fadiman, whose two hobbies consisted of wine and ``the avoidance of exercise,'' had a simple lifelong work ethic. ``I can't retire,'' he said. ``I wouldn't know what to do.'' # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Subject: Re: SV: SV: (exotica) The ages on this list Date: 21 Jun 1999 11:07:14 -0400 weeeeell I'd better introduce myself to the lovely lady, Hi I am Magnus!

Peter Bagge has mentioned old records/record stores in some of his comics....I know 'Hate' had a few stories that included the characters flipping through the record racks. Highly recommended is his 'Neat Stuff #3', a comic he did back in 1986 where the character Buddy Bradley is criticized by his friends for looking at records more than ten years old. At one point a Sandler and Young LP is highlighted. Movie wise, there is the scene from 'Diner' where the husband and wife are driving down the street at night, arguing about the importance of the husband's record collection. That's the scene where the wife is criticized for disrupting the system he has for organizing his records.

Has anyone ever seen the poster art for the 1958 Roger Corman film, "She Gods of Shark Reef." It's painted by the famous movie poster artist Reynolds Brown and it's an amazing underwater scene of a huge tiki with a tied up flower clad, young woman being circled by sharks. The tag line reads, "Beautiful Maiden in a Lush Tropical Paradise ...Ruled by a Hideous Stone God.". I've got the one sheet poster 27" x 41" and it's amazing, I also had a three sheet poster from the film and that was mind boggling, it was 41" x 81" and the tiki was just frickin' huge. I also still have the original press book from the film which happened to a double feature with "Night of the Blood Beast" and in the press book American International gives suggestions to the theatre owners on how to help market the film. My favorite suggestion is "Have barefoot stencils, with the title of the picture cut in, leading to the theatre from all directions". Now that's promotion. The music credits are given to Ronald Stein. At the time I saw the movie I wasn't much interested in the music, so I don't remember much of it. Does anyone have any clearer reckoning of the soundtrack? Also, if anyone gives a rat's fuzzy little posterior, when I get my scanner up and running again I'll post a photo of the poster.

It's called Journey to Infinity. It's credited to the Florida Symphony and is conducted by Henry Mazer. There is a spoken introduction by Werner von Braun. It doesn't really say who composed the music (maybe because of the blatant Stravinsky ripoffs) The record reminds me a bit of the Voices of Walter Schumann's Exploring the Unknown. There is more dialog (between Mission Control and the astronauts) and less music. At times during the spoken sections, the music is very much in the background, but at other times the music is very clear and in the foreground. There are some electronics on it but not a whole lot. I'm positive that this LP pre-dates the moon landing because all of the pictures of the moon's surface are paintings and because the narration speaks of the moon landing as an event that has not occurred yet but is imminent. The LP package is also very nice with lots of pictures of rockets, radars, control towers, etc. Sean # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) most important swede Date: 21 Jun 1999 13:40:54 EDT In a message dated 6/21/99 1:13:35 PM, m.sandberg@telia.com wrote: >forgot the most important swedish contribution to the world! > > > >wrestler and actor: Tor Johnson > >beat that if you can europe! > Can the U.S. try?

Transparent Language, the company behind the LanguageNow range of translational packages for the PC, has developed a new language translation technology called Transcend RT. To launch the technology, the firm has opened a free-to-use Web portal at http://www.freetranslation.com that translates from English to Spanish, French, German, Italian or Portuguese, as well as to English from Spanish, French and German. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ben Waugh Subject: (exotica) babelfish, etc. Date: 21 Jun 1999 13:38:01 -0700 (PDT) The thing with these translation engines is that they are very useful in jogging the memory if your vocabulary in a particular language has undergone a lessening over time. But they can get you in trouble or, at the very least make you come off like the wild boy or Nell if you don't know the language you are playing with. Freetranslation.com, for instance, translates je n'en ai pas, the French for I ain't got none, as "I not in have not" : a pure, literal translation from the amerlogue. Like playing basketball with a bat. Babel Fish, however, performs this trans. correctly (but won't do, say, Baudelaire's "tout est luxe et volupte"). Ok.

However, there many be some needed relief!! I just stopped at Tower Records and saw the newly released CD "Music to Shag By", which, in my opinion, does a much better job at selecting appropriate songs. There are 0 tracks from Madonna and 1 track from Serge Gainsborg and that's a good start right there. Alas, I didn't purchase the CD this time I around, mainly because I decided to purchase the book "SPAM: A Biography" instead. For some reason that seemed a little bit more exotic at the time. The tracks on "Music to Shag By" are... 01. Wives And Lovers - Jack Jones 02. You Showed Me - The Turtles 03. Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus - Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg 04. Groovy Kind Of Love - The Mindbenders 05. Love Makes the World Go Round - Deon Jackson 06. I'm Gonna Make You Love Me - Madeline Bell 07. The More I See You - Chris Montez 08. The Look Of Love - Dusty Springfield 09. Our Winter Love - Bill Pursell 10. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me - Mel Carter 11. Our Day Will Come - Ruby And The Romantics 12. I Dig You Baby - Jerry Butler 13. Workin' On A Groovy Thing - Patti Drew 14. For Your Love - Peaches & Herb 15. Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars - Andy Williams 16. More - Vic Dana 17. Love Is All Around - The Troggs 18.

The other evening while partaking of refreshing beverages and listening to some records I observed that the need for a refill coincided with having to turn the record over. So, now I'm convinced that the length of the average side of an Lp was originally decided upon by figuring the average length of time it take to drink a cocktail. So my new phrase to use now is " If your gonna get up to change the record, mix me a drink while you're at it." Of course in all modesty I must admit that this time length for me only holds for the first record after that everything just kind of slows down...

I had a feeling that I would like this because of my previous infatuation with Mahmoud Ahmed album that I've had for quite a while. This music is truly magical. Don't get the idea that this is similar to Afro-pop styles, the darker more ominous sounding Ethiopian music is in a class by itself. For all you exotica types you might check out the collection of instrumentals: Ethiopiques vol.4 ( Buda 82964). Sixties jazz and soul influenced grooves of Ethiopian melodies...I'm in love. And for the adventuresome I would recommend the other volumes too. The sung Ethiopian dialect is unlike any vocal style I've ever heard.

Here is my favorite Quite Village story which I have shared with the list in the past ,but it bears repeating in response to the question of what my favorite version of this tune might be. A while back on my radio show I realized that from the records I brought in for that show I had about six versions of Quiet Village so I played them all back to back . The following week a listener called in and wanted to hear Quiet Village. Ok, fine, I had actually brought in yet another version on that show. Shortly after playing the selection the same listener called back and told me that what the really wanted to hear was the 20 minute version that I played the previous week! So in answer to the question I would have to say that my favorite version of Quiet Village is the 20 minute version!

I think all would agree as to what an >invaluable resource this would be. Well, of course using the browser find command with the archives and checking each and every file would do it...but it wouldn't take too much more to concatenate all the files and generate a quick search index from it. Then all you'd need is a little server based lookup program to generate a list of entries everytime someone types in a word or words found in the index (ala search engine). I'm sure this stuff exists...but it does require a server based program (and not everyone can use them) and someone would have to generate the index from time to time. I really don't mind, though, when someone asks a question asked years before. It often generates new responses and thoughts. Still, the knowledge of the responses presented to the list so far is so much better than any reference work out there, it would be great to have it available in a concise, easy to review format.

This music is truly magical. By any chance are you referring to his record "Ere Mela Mela" on Hannibal? I've purged myself of virtually all my "world beat" CD's (I'm trying to remember who I was trying to impress/seduce when I first bought them) but I can't get rid of this one. I only wish I had it on vinyl instead of CD. I've made a bunch of DJ-types jealous with this one and I wish I had the vinyl to really drive home the jealousy. The horns! The cheesy Farfisa-sounding organ lines! It's kind of like an Arabic singer in a religious trance - or even the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - backed up by Markeys or Question Mark and the Mysterians with a drunk horn section. There's nothing like it. And I know this is heresy but he totally blows away Fela.

Basically, almost anything that appeared in the narrow band of 68 to 73 seems fantastic. Which is weird cuz I know my parents never listened to King Crimson or Yes or Sly and the Family Stone or Can or any of that stuff. But I love pop from that era as well, which they did listen to. Also, funk, TV themes, and the like. As for cars, I drive an old reliable beat up Hyundai Excel, but I eyeball all those great Starsky and Hutch style Mustangs and Torinos and Toranados and El Caminos and all that stuff. (Obvisouly not close enough to get the names right though, eh?) Even big long Buicks with that high-backed style. Maybe someday.

(AP) -- The feud between singers Wayne Newton and Tony Orlando has hit another sour note. Last year, the performers shared what was then the Talk of the T.O.W.N. Theatre until Newton, whose company leased the building, allegedly locked Orlando out, saying Orlando owed him more than $2 million. In April, Orlando sued Newton in federal court, claiming the lockout cost him $125,000 from 11 canceled shows last year, and millions more in projected earnings over the next two seasons. Newton countersued on Monday, seeking more than $20 million in damages. His suit disputes Orlando's account, and accuses him of spreading false claims in the news media. The countersuit also accuses Orlando of providing false information that led to their professional relationship, including the average number of tickets he sold during the prior season, and claims of how many people he could draw to the theater. Before the breakup, the two said they had been friends more than 30 years. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Subject: (exotica) Re: Exotica Mailing List Dream Date: 22 Jun 1999 11:11:09 -0400 I had my first Exotica Mailing List dream last night.

I had a bad feeling when I heard he came out with this. Have you heard anything else by him? Wifey and I like him a lot and we have bunches of his disks. Some of my favorites: Dear Mr. Cole (Nat King covers) New Standards (I have this here at work and am listening to it now!) My Blue Heaven (I think this is the Chesky disk, swings nicely) As for his voice, maybe its not the greatest, but its not what you have but how you use it. :') He sings ballads with sensitivity and the bouncy numbers with enthusiasm. He's also a very funny entertainer. When I saw him at Scullers he did a long version of a song off his first album: "I Like Jersey Best" where he did imitations of Bruce Springfield, Billie Holliday and Bob Dyan. I laughed so hard I began crying. You can see him in the Mohegan Suns casino commercial that is airing in the Boston area. Sounded like a song somebody wrote for the commercial. It was nice seeing him on TV, but the whole commercial thing, singing about how much fun casinos are turned my stomach...so maybe he's on the downslide. Hope I haven't disappointed you Laura.

Is the whole of my life written in the soundtrack? Small vignettes triggered by the recollection of a song. That one still smarts thirty years on. Powerful stuff. That's put me in a right mood.

Worth buying? ****************** I have a copy of the CD issued by Trunk Records (PO Box 56, Aldershot, Hmpshire, GUII 3YN, UK). The liner notes claim that it's a legitimate, licensed reissue, and it could be for all I know, but it sounds like a bootleg. The disc was mastered from a copy of the film (or video) so all incidental sound effects are there right along with the music. Also the song "Gently Johnny" is missing, as this was taken from the shorter version of the film that was in circulation. Had I known all of this and had a chance to hear it first, I probably wouldn't have bought it.

I think the only version not issued in the States is the one labeled "re-mix" -- it's on the UK CD5s. (Might be on last year's US CD5 too but I think that one just duplicated the tracks from the old black-red-grey 4th+B'way single.) The "re-mix" mix starts out with a Wolfman Jack sample/imitation "That's right, this has gotta be the greatest record of the year!" instead of the "homeboys out in the Bronx" thing. The US mixes had more samples slapped onto 'em so the UK version has a lot less of that kitchen-sink feel, which may be why the originals feel dubbier. The "Anitina" mixes on those singles *definitely* qualify as dubby! -- Lazlo Nibble - lazlo@studio-nibble.com - http://www.studio-nibble.com this message powered by a desire to see colourbox get back together -- # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ernie Longmire Subject: Re: (exotica) collecting Date: 22 Jun 1999 21:53:56 -0600 On Mon, Jun 21, 1999 at 11:34:26AM -0400, itsvern@ibm.net wrote: > Movie wise, there is the scene from 'Diner' where the husband and wife are > driving down the street at night, arguing about the importance of the > husband's record collection.

Worth buying? Someone bought this for me for my birthday otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Its Scottish Folky songs. Apparantly it's from the 'one day' version of the film so one of the songs is missing. But it does have the Landlords Daughter on it. A fairly ribald song of the pleasures of said woman (played by Britt Ekland, the well known er actress). Something about the fun to be had between her left toe and her right toe, to the accompaniment of accordion and violin, but its only a minute and a half long. Lots of dialogue snatches. Apart from the one song I never play it. Its also on blood red vinyl, if thats your bag.

If you don't know the film and love the film, I can't imagine it would be of huge interest to anyone as it is mainly folksy sort of stuff, although the track where "Britt" is beating on the walls has a certain appeal (!!!), but I think it really is for fans of the film. As an American who is now also British living in Scotland, I was very surprised when I saw the film. Apparently only fairly hardcore cult film watchers in the States have really seen this one, although it is fairly well-known in the UK. It was on Channel 4 about 3 years ago on one Friday night when I was sitting in. I'd vaguely thought I'd heard somewhere that it was good so I gave it a go. And I was thoroughly entertained. And couldn't BELIEVE I had never really heard much about it (I'm not a major film buff, but I'm fairly sussed). Go see it. You can rent it - even in the States. Then decide on the soundtrack.

He had four wives and always put attractive women in his groups. He gave Rita Hayworth one of her first jobs, and later appeared with her in the film "You Were Never Lovelier."His Mercury recordings of the 1950s often featured his then-wife (#3), blonde bombshell and singer Abbe Lane. In the mid-1960s, he took another blonde (with the aid of chemistry) under his tutelage, and the result this time was Charo--who appeared in skin-tight gold lame pants and stiletto heels, billed as a folk singer.

'breeze from the east' was the biggest surprise and probably comes closest to being pure exotica. it sounds as if it could have been recorded in arthur lyman's metallic dome, and dick hyman even makes a cameo appearance with some wobbly organ lines. the opening track has stan applebaum's driving, sinuous string arrangements in counterpoint to a fantastically understated angular, funky guitar line. 'fuji' is beautifully ambient and has the earliest example i've heard of the 'violining' guitar technique (bringing the volumb knob up from zero as the string is plucked). even the version of 'east of the sun' is great, and a lovely cover too. eleven out of ten. (incidentally, david toop's 'exotica' book mentions the fact that tjader himself hated the album, and 'almost vomited' when he first heard the tapes.) # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: cscheffy@kinglet.Berkeley.EDU Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: Mambo by Tjader Date: 23 Jun 1999 11:50:56 -0700 Steve Morgan wrote: >'breeze from the east' was the biggest >surprise and probably comes closest to being pure exotica Another of Cal's "nearly pure exotica" albums, and a real beauty on Fantasy (complete with colored vinyl) is "Latin For Lovers."

I highly recommend the film, even if all you can find is the 84-minute version. One of the best of the British horror films, and you get to see Christopher Lee in drag. About 15 years ago, Showtime aired the long version (I think it was around 102 minutes). Around that time, it also made the rounds of artsy theaters. Forgot to mention -- there is one part of the soundtrack that is improved with the inclusion of dialog and SFX. It's the music from the scene where Willow (Britt Ekland) tries to entice Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) with her seductive song. On the CD you can hear her butt-slapping sounds.

Actually, it isn't all that bad; if you really really loved the film in the first place (and it is one of my favorites), then you'd certainly enjoy it. While the presence of ambient sounds and dialogue in the mix was disappointing at first, it does serve to anchor the musical pieces. That is, in and of themselves the instrumental pieces aren't very compelling; even if you're a fan of creepy folk, they're a little more disturbing (except for the lovely fertility song sung by the kiddies) only in the context of the movie. But yes, you do get to hear the buttslaps in that seduction-of-the-Equalizer song, performed by Britt Ekland (before Rod Stewart got his grubby paws on her). [This was my first post, primarily because I have little to contribute: I only own three measly exotica *CDs* (one of which doesn't really count), and grew up in a household with a lot of vinyl, yes, but mostly of Easy Listening dreck (Ray Conniff and his Singers, post-prepared piano Ferrante and Teicher, etc.).] Later, Ben np: godspeed you black emperor!, "slow riot for new zero kanada" http://www.bigfoot.com/~bvergara/ 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sandberg Magnus" Subject: (exotica) cartoon Date: 23 Jun 1999 22:06:34 +0200 Jane and Magnus visit the pyramid an easy comic. 1) || =20 || || _|| ||_ =F6 =F6 | | J: look! a pyramid!

This is true, and a good thing too! CD's saves future generations the memory of having to flip or put on another record to hear this symphony. (*what* is he talking about??? Let me explain) As a teen, after seeing the 9th performed on TV I bought an LP boxed set of all 9 symphonies. The 1st, 2nd and 1/2 of the 3rd movement of the 9th was on one record, and the 2nd half of the 3rd and the 4th movement on another record. I may have listened to the 9th from this set a lot because though the years whenever I played a CD of the 9th, or heard it on the radio, and the music gets to that part of the 3rd where the first record ended I remember that that is the place where my record ended. People growing up with CD's will not have this deja vu (sp) and hear the symphony uninterrupted. Their listening experience will be different than mine. Imagine how hard it was for folks growing up with 78's! Now back to regular Exotica posts!

Yes, Dutch breweries are extrordinairy prolific at the moment, I think this Spring Bock is probably also from "Gulpen", there's a nice one from "Grolsch" too, and I'm sure there are many more. Forgot to mention a very fine Old Dutch Product, Boerenjongens. Boerenjongens, Country Boys, brandied raisins, they're totally out of fashion (not with my mother, she gave me a pot as recently as a week ago), but I figure they would look great in a cocktail glass and could be a big succes at your next exotic party. The Boerenmeisjes, Country Girls, are a bit more problematic, brandied apricots wouldn't quite fit, would they?

Incredible as it may seem, RCA stood behind the 45 rpm format as better than the LP. As Peter Schickele parodied on his game show "What's My Melodic Line?": ..."the winner receives a complete edition of Beethoven's 9 symphonies on convenient 45 rpm records!" What was RCA thinking?

Any ideas on what can be done to help it" Not much can be done for actual scratches. Skips can sometimes be fixed with an old Garrard turntable, by finding the skip, shutting off the turntable (Garrards won't automatically ejct when shut off) and then moving the stylus back and forth over the skip a few dozen times. I've fixed many skips in this manner, and I keep a flea-market Garrard TT around for just this purpose. I guess it acts kind of like a lathe and either pops out the crap that was making the record skip, or cuts off the deformed piece of vinyl that made the skip. I know it sounds dopey, but it works, as I say, about 1/2 the time. For scratchy records, go back to the flea market/thrift store and find an old record player (you know, the '50s kind, all in one unit with the hinged lid; do an internet search on "stylus" or something for a new needle) and play your trashed records on that unit. They'll sound great. Put the record player in some other room, slap on that beat copy of Hank Williams' "Sing Me a Blue Song", go sit at the kitchen table, open a brown bottle, and wait for Laura Dern to show up.

Cabbage Alley, The one with clocks on the front and Look Appy are all very good, Fire on The Bayou is not so stong in my opinion but still good. Personally I like Rejuvination which I haven't seen bootlegged yet and there is a green lp with a party scene on the front which is also excellent and very thick and dirty sounding (my favourite). My memory is not so good but I could look this evening for you. For the bootlegs, in order of consistent strength, I'd go for: 1.. The lp with clocks all over it 2..

Harkit recently reissued the extremely rare soundtrack to "Klute", also on heavy vinyl and without the original cover art. The sound quality was fine, although I wish they had put the original sleeve on it, like the boots of 'Barbarella', 'Rosemary's Baby', 'Enter The Dragon' etc have. I got 'Klute' from Dusty Groove, so I would imagine that 'Bedazzled' will show up there as well.

The lp score was unprecedented. I usually do ot bother with yard sales - wading through piles of used stoat-chokers to get to yet another breaded Van Halen lp...): several by Denny, Lyman, and Sumac: these are well known so no more. There are 4 that I am very pleased with: The Magic Beat! The Unique Rhythms of of Richard Marino and His Orchestra (Liberty ...Visual Sound Stereo, LSS-14003 Premier Series). This lp is fantastic - sort of like if Denny had done an Exotica 1.5, with brass and harpsichord. From the inner jacket notes: "The real magic of music is in the rhythm ... the beat. The melodies and harmonies are important, naturally, but it is the beat that enchants and holds us spellbound. ... It is well known that percussion instruments are, from an engineering standpoint, the most difficult to record and subsequently to reproduce exactly. This album will be of exceptional interest to the audiophile as a fine example of the most interesting and accurate sound reproduction available. The most discriminating hi-fi addict will find this to be a superb test of his equipment, taxing the outer limits of the most complete and sensitive hi-fi and stereo components." Definitely. The Many Moods of The Candy Man (Bill Kehr): A Tasty Collection of Organ Specialties and Classics (Sunnyvale Records 9330-318). "Using multi-track recording, blending the subtle and satisfying moods of four organs (by Hammond, Lowrey, Kimbal) and four synthesizers (ARP, Farfisa), Kehr has skillfully attained the beautiful and unique sounds you and the members of your family are going to enjoy! These special effects enhance the haunting sound in Guatanamara,..." Oh yes. Gather gran and the kids, break out the fondue kits and ice down the TJ Swann (a "Steppin' Out," 1975). H. Mancini: Music From The TV Series, The Mancini Generation (RCA LSP-4689; 1972). Brass, beat, harpsichord and Hank on the ARP. As one accolade puts it "a circa 70s salute to swing." Marty Gold: Sticks and Bones (Vik LX1126; 1958)- wide variety of percussion instruments, brass. Best thing I've yet heard by MG. Another that I have not yet had a chance to play is The Spencer-Hagen Orchestra's Essence of Romance, on Liberty ("Transistorized Stereo"). Cover features a Denny-esque exoti-kitten seated before a altar of perfume bottles. Voodoo, one of the S-H covers, converts our Lazy-boy recliners into The African Queen for "a cruise to a faraway exotic island - a trip through the crush of jungle - heady with incense and danger. An encounter with the jungle warmth of her eyes as you breathe deep of the music." Grrr. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The description of this sounds as if it is the UK sleeve, not the US sleeve, therefore it is "original" cover art - if you live in the UK. Mine has a cover that sounds like this.

It has every good style of music you could imagine - dance groovy pop, psych pop, beautiful lounge/jazz, groovy now funk. Something for every mood.

I include the links below. I doubt there's much of an Annette contingent on the list, but I include it anyway if only for the picture, which is quite something (the pineapple, the TECHNICOLOR - well, not technically technicolor...) - and actually, all of the items are accompanied by photos, so have at it: ** The World of Suzie Wong S/T LP - music by George Duning http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121876814 Tracks include "At the Namkok," "Suzie Wong Mambo," "Out of Nowhere," "Groove for Suzie," "Aberdeen Caper," and many more. (Most in a jazzy, swinging lounge/pop idiom.) Nice photo of William Holden and Nancy Kwan on the cover. Released 1960, RCA Living Stereo LSO-1059 ** Annette - Hawaiiannette LP Buena Vista BV-3303 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121864532 Annette Sings Songs of Hawaii. Front cover features Annette in full-blown "technicolor" with a large pineapple in her hands and a pink lei around her neck. Back cover has three "postcard" snaps of Annette in swimsuit, mou-mou, and wish-you-were-here poses. ** For Love of Ivy soundtrack LP - Quincy Jones http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121882112 This is a 1969 release featuring the trademark Quincy sounds of the period in an upbeat, jazzy pop mode as befitting the freewheeling, comedic nature of the film. Includes 8 extended instrumentals and two tracks with lyrics by Maya Angelou... ** Apollo 11: Flight To The Moon LP (DJ heaven!) http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=122311958 Featuring "actual voice transmissions of man's (sic) historic landing on the moon." This is the Bell records release commemorating the Apollo landing with on-board voice recordings during the landing itself, John Glenn's orbit, Ed White's space walk, and the astronauts' re-entry into the earth's atmosphere - along with a few tense moments captured on tape for posterity. Narrated by Walter M. Schirra with incidental music by Earl Robinson. (sealed copy) ** Les Baxter - Jungle Jazz LP (stereo copy) http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=122326644 This is a stereo copy of one of Les' stand-out exotica recordings. Tracks include "Voodoo Dreams," "Blue Jungle," "Rain Forest," "Brazilia," "One Thousand Cockatoos," "Papagayo," and 6 others. Plas Johnson is featured on sax on many of the tracks. ** "Speed the Parting Guest (Hi Fi Bull In A Chime Shop)" - 10 inch http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=122343371 Hifi hijinks. Part of the Cook Laboratories Sound of Our Times series. Features innumerable percussive instruments including 7 tympani, 5 coctail shakers, 3 bass drum, 1 wind machine, 17 temple bells, 3 xylophones, and a litany of others. Conducted, arranged and composed by Jimmy Carroll, with appearances by Harry Breuer, Ed Vito, and others. This is a ten-inch, 33 1/3 RPM EP with 5 tracks...

This web site eliminates the bidding process and offers buyers and sellers instant gratification. In its first three months online, the site has sold over a half of a million dollars in merchandise for its 10,000 users. NoBidding.com is a free site, which allows sellers to post their product in over 1000 categories and at the exact price they are willing to sell the item for. The first buyer to agree to the price wins the opportunity to purchase the item. The concept is called 'Bid First. It's Yours.' "People are already frustrated with the format of online auctions," says Edward Orlando, M.D., President, NoBidding Inc. "Imagine waiting five days only to find out that you didn't win the item you placed a bid on. Most people don't like to wait five minutes for a hamburger! We've introduced a fresh concept for those who are tired of playing the auction game." Buyers who are unable to locate the item they are looking for can visit the site's "Wish List". In this section, the buyer simply completes an inquiry and will then be notified via email whenever someone posts an item for sale that matches the description. The site also features a closed feedback rating system. Buyers and sellers can only rate each other after officially purchasing a product. This system, enforced using special security codes, helps prevent users from falsely increasing their standing on the web site. "Basically, it's an interactive classified web site," adds Orlando. "We've addressed all the areas where online auctions fail and fixed them." http://nobidding.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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Rcbrooksod@aol.com Subject: (exotica) Tiki Names Date: 25 Jun 1999 14:16:27 EDT In a message dated 06/24/99 4:34:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time, DJJimmyBee@aol.com writes: << Ahhhh, FINALLY!

Speaking of hardcore cult films and Scotland, this brings to mind Lars Von Trier's "Breaking the Waves". Yeah I know it's a Danish film but it is set (and I believe filmed) in Scotlad - Shetland if I'm not mistaken... But what struck me most was the use of easy pop music, Abba and the likes, at the beginning of each scene. And let me tell you this is one heavy movie. Wouldn't recommend the soundtrack but here's a case where the music works with the film but on its own has no real impact. I think some of us have had this discussion before...

"Hifi Daze/Cocktail Nights". It sounds great, tastes great and generally reads well. One CD has liner notes by Br. Cleve and needless to say they're a pleasure to read, as always. Another of the 3 CDs is annotated by Wyndham Chow and those notes are also great. The third disc ain't got no note at all, but 2 for 3. Oh and there's music, too. Damn I was so busy reading I threw the discs out with the shrink-wrap. Naaaaaah...the music is great, too and all for the price of a pousse cafe at my local Holiday Inn, I feel like a thief. -Roy G.

I agree with Johan. The CD can serve as an introduction for people who don't know what Bollywood soundtracks are all about, but judging from the tapes that are circulating and some of the records that I have myself, there is much wilder material out there. Maybe the compilers should have dug a little deeper. Still, nice to listen to every once in a while. Also much more "authentic" than the heavily tampered with 'Bombay the hard way'.

(there are 2 label protectors that you can attach to the peg, to make sure the label doesn't get wet.) by turing the LP aroud, the brushes clean, and they do it very well! you also get a tunnel with paper filters so that you can reuse the cluining fluid. afterwards, i use the vacuum machine to dry the LP. the results are always better than cleaning with the vacuum alone. i have restored dirty lp's that way, that didn't react to vacuum cleaning. some more details: the bottom of the bath can be taken out and actually is a drying rack for 15 records. also incluided: an adaptor for 45rpm singles with a big center hole. recommended. BTW, Protected also sells everything imagineable for the protection and storage of cds, LP's, singles, cassettes, MD's... and their prices are about 50% lower than UK companies.

Unfortunately I haven't spoken with him for a couple of weeks, but health wise he hasn't been too bad, pretty much about the same. Sadly, his brother Sergio passed away this spring after a long illness. He was 78. Juan was very cloe to Sergio, as they worked together for much of their lives (Sergio was an engineer at XEW/Televisa in Mexico City).

And to my shock and surprise, it's signed by Lowery in telltale blind scrawl on the frontispiece. Ahhhh, my summer is looking better already.

Are any of you folks aware of the various e-vendor coupon sites on the web such as http://i.am/deardeer , http://www.dvdtalk.com , or http://www.bargainflix.com ? I just discovered these sites about a month ago, and I've since gone HOG WILD loading up on various exotica related goodies. All the groovy italian comp's, the new Seks Bomba, the just released Barbarella dvd, the Samuel J. Hoffman three-fer from Basta, Danger:Diabolik vhs, to name a few - if I can buy it on sale and with a coupon link I just can't help myself! To make matters worse, cdnow is offering 30% off all imports 'till June 30th, and by using various $10 and $20 coupons I've managed to get all four of the Get Easy comp's, the Mondo Morricone, MPS Snowflakes, the Karminsky comp's, and Moonflowers and Miniskirts for ridiculously low prices. I've had a hard time finding these imports even in a major metropolis such as the S.F. Bay Area, and I'm sorry for rambling, but getting this kind of stuff delivered to my door at bottom dollar prices has made me giddy. I realize these internet vendors have deep pockets, but this sort of foolishness can't last forever - so I say get 'em while you can!

(AP) -- Del Whitcomb, who played guitar along side of Duke Ellington and Lawrence Welk, died Wednesday. He was 76 Whitcomb also performed with such national musical acts as Ozzie Nelson, the McGuire Sisters and Pat Boone. His professional career started when he was 16, when he joined the Omaha Musician's Association. He played with area bands in the 1930s. Whitcomb opened a music store in Beatrice in 1958 and ran it until the early 1970s. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- When Jim Nabors underwent a liver transplant five years ago, he was surprised it drew so much attention. ``I got about 200,000 to 300,000 letters and prayers,'' said Nabors, television's Gomer Pyle. ``The reality had never set in before that so many people cared what happened to me.'' In part, that realization propelled ``When He Spoke,'' Nabors' new two-CD compilation of Christian songs. It's the first recording by the actor in 20 years. Nabors, 69, said the CDs feature a mix of old gospel songs and contemporary Christian numbers, including a ``Lion King version'' of The Lord's Prayer. ``It's a real knockout,'' said Nabors, 69. Nabors, best known for his portrayal of the simpleton soldier from 1964 to 1969 on ``Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.,'' formed his own record company for the effort. Another motivation: the success of friend Andy Griffith, whose own gospel collection sold about 2.5 million copies a few years ago. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: Re: (exotica) forever lounge Date: 28 Jun 1999 11:49:09 -0400 At 06:43 AM 6/28/99 -0700, Ben Waugh wrote: > > >Has someone mentioned this before while i was in my >coma? > > >Forever Lounge: A Laid-Back Price >Guide to The Languid Sounds of Lounge Music >by John Wooley, Thomas Conner, Mark Brown, 1999, $24. I think it has been mentioned before but I saw it for the first time the other day myself. I thought it was surprisingly complete in terms of covering the artists often ignored in other books and in terms of apparently complete discographies. I counted over 50 Three Suns records. I don't know if that is complete but it's enough for me. From what I could tell, the price guide was a bit one-dimensional. The vast vast majority I skimmed were identified as worth three to five dollars with the occasional leap to twenty. Most of the Three Suns records - including I believe "Movin n Groovin" - were three to five except "Fever n Smoke" which was twentyish. I know that the price of a record is a highly fluid, flexible, subjective thing and I guess that a lot of these records aren't in "high demand" by anyone except us but I've been slumming in a used record store for the past few weeks and if we get a cool lounge record in - and in it's in good shape - it goes out at more like ten to twelve bucks. Of course, that's Canadian. But we differentiate between a cool, bouncy, "Command-y", hyper stereo, heavily arranged record and your average Glenn Miller-like big band record. We are also influenced by especially cool covers. And so are the buyers. You put on a Command record in the store and someone wants to buy it right away. Or you show them some ultra-cheesy cover and same thing. I don't think the authors made that much of an attempt to differentiate between records. It looks like if they didn't know about it, they'd just say "5 - 3 " as if most lounge records were basically worth the same amount.

My 3000 or so rock albums sit there, year after year, virtually unlistened-to and un-added-to, while the lounge/easy/exotica section grows by 30 or so everytime I go out to buy milk and make a detour. I set out a couple of hundred not-very-good 1980s New Wave albums at a garage sale we held a week or so ago, and moved about 20 of those at a dollar a pop. I then discovered that everything rock from U through Z had somehow gotten badly warped over the last 3 years, though I don't know how. =20 So out went Wah!, too many of my Ventures albums and all my Velvet Underground,=20 alas, to the garbage. They lasted 5 minutes before I heard my neighbour across the=20 hall dragging them up to his apartment, no doubt chortling with excitement. In the meantime, I've decided to just move the rest, since there ain't much= of a market for old or not-so-old rock here, and since I'm too close to moving date to do much else. I dream of a collection reduced to my dance singles, my easy/exotica, and my soundtracks, and of making thousands of dollars on the rest so that I can buy more 1950s movie posters through Ebay, but that's not likely to happen. This seems a particularly fabulous time to buy old vinyl in Montreal . . . a couple more of those wonderful March=E9 du Disque warehouse stores opened in the last two months, and I got to them before they seemed too picked over. I helped Keir-from-bossanovaville fill in some more holes on his Capitol of the World wantlist, and got more Quebecois sleaze along the way. I dream of putting together=20 a CD compilation to be entitled Mondo Cancon, with the very worst Canadian music of the last 30 years. But Nat should really be the one to do this, and he can have my collection of nature songs by young boys from Laval if he wants to. Of course, like Ma Joad in the Grapes of Wrath, I lovingly peruse each album before I pack it, surprised at the things I've been searching for and realize I already have, and at how many compilations of European movie themes I've picked up over= the last 15 years.

He was 68. Watson's Hollywood career included both film and television work, spanning three decades. His first role came at the age of 6, in ``Riding to Fame,'' in 1931. By the time he was 10, he had appeared in 125 films. His most famous role came as the endearing Pee Wee, opposite Mickey Rooney and Spencer Tracy in ``Boys Town.'' Watson quit his acting career in 1966 and became a minister with the United Methodist Church. Over the next three decades, he ministered around Southern California and in Las Vegas, using his acting experience, jokes and props to dramatize his scripture reading. A public service will be held on Thursday at the First Methodist Church in Burbank.

After Tarloff refused to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, he was dismissed as a writer for the sitcom called ``I Married Joan,'' and dropped by his agent. Tarloff, who had briefly been in the Communist Party in the 1940s, took the Fifth Amendment and refused to cooperate with the committee. His career was so damaged that he and his family moved to England. For 12 years, he was forced to use phony names to get his work produced. In later years, he was able to resume writing under his own name and had a number of film credits. He shared with Peter Stone an Academy Award in 1965 for the script for ``Father Goose,'' which starred Cary Grant and Leslie Caron. Tarloff, the father of ``Face-Time'' author, Erik Tarloff, died of lung cancer at his home on Friday, but his death was revealed only today.

Yes. This was mysterious. I have and enjoy each lp, but if I had to do it over again and pay $20 for one, I'd go for M&G. It looks like if they didn't know > about it, they'd just > say "5 - 3 " as if most lounge records were > basically worth the same amount. The cynic in me began to suspect a hidden motive: perhaps the authors or their pricing guru hope, as though by magick spell, to either make dealers lower their prices, or buyers to refuse to pay more than 3-5 (which, I guess, amounts to the same thing. I enjoyed the introductory lesson on pricing etiquette - that high-end 5 is for Mint&Near Mint only. And they suggest pricing even these under the high-end). Good examples would be Baxter's theremin recordings, Passions & jungle Jazz. From what I've observed in squandering frenzies such as E-Bay, etc., people generally pay alot more. Still a good resource. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Peter Nero - Tender is the Night LP 1967 "Prepared expressly for Abbott Laboratories by RCA Victor" The back liner notes start out RELAX! There is more to life than just hustle and bustle! Open the gatefold and the whole spread and the first words are "Here's how 112 physicians ranked the importance of key advantages for non-barbituarate nighttime sedatives...and here's how Placidyl (ethchlorvynol) measures up to each point." They proceed to list 10 points and include the PDR info for the drug. Tunes on the LP ironically include... Hello dolly(!) Never on Sunday More Call me Irresponsible 2. Dialect of the Black American Put out by Ma Bell in 1970 it tells the story of a Black man who left his old town in the south to get a college education in the big city where he learned to speak "proper English". He comes back home to "get his groove back" and realizes that the people from his roots are speaking a language he has not used in awhile and has to explain to the listener what the various characters are "really" saying since they are speaking "street or jive" talk...he acts as a sort of ebonics translator. I suppose this album was created to help folks at the phone company not familiar with this type of speech. Having grown up in public schools in Baltimore city in the 60's and 70's where the student black to white ratio was around 6:1 and making friends with people speaking in that dialect, I had no problem understanding this "other" language. So I find it "funny" that they try to lay it all out for you as a matter of factly. 3. Charles Manson - Son of Man 1979 On this limited (mine is 143 of 1000) release on an unknown label (I believe it was put out by "Red and Blue" for those of you know) It is a cheesy recording of Charlie in his cell in Vacaville strumming and singing for about 20 minutes (before the MAN took his guitar away forever)...the songs are pretty good and flow together in his infamous stream of consciousness style. He is a true beatnik and I dig him for that. (I love the fact that the All-American Apple Pie eyed Beach Boys recorded one of his songs. Cheap irony makes giggle.) Sounds of people yelling and prison doors slamming makes for great ambience. One side of record is the music and on the other is an etching based on one of his drawings. 4. Crispin Hellion Glover - The Big Problem? 1989 Restless if its Crispin, its got to be Weird! selected readings for his books Rat Catching and Oak Mot. and a few "great" tunes like The New Clean Song, Auto-Manipulator the incredible cover of Nancy Sinatra's These Boots are made for Walking and my favorite piece of freakage, Clowny Clown Clown. 5. Barnes and Barnes Fish Heads Picture Disk 1982 Rhino Well I would have listed all of my Barnes and Barnes records but this one was my first and weirdest...nothing like a fish head spinning around on your turntable! plus songs flying from the speakers aside from the title track include Party in my Pants, I Had Sex on TV, Swallow my Love and Work the Meat...surely a crowd pleaser. 6. Joe Coleman - Infernal Machine 1990 Blast First those of you not familiar with the painter, performance artist, and self proclaimed "geek" (in the real meaning of the word) Joe Coleman, you need to go to Atomic Books and find out. An incredible "in your face" artist. the LP includes a 12 page full color booklet of his artwork, his bio and a scrap book of his solo performances and with the band Steel Tips. his is notorious for blowing himself up on stage and biting the heads off mice and throwing them at the audience. this LP collects his favorite tunes and movie clips as well as recordings of his band Steel Tips live. I had mine signed by him at Atomic Books and he even did a quick portrait of me on it as well...what a guy. 7. Brion Gysin - Orgy Boys 1982 Hat Hut Records Ltd. here in the mad collection of poems, songs dedicated to William Burroughs, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Fafa de Palaminy, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg and John Giorno. there are songs written for Naked Lunch in 1972 by Gysin. the record has 11 songs and plays at 45RPM for a magikal 23 minutes. the record was previously owned by Baltimore's strangest bird...Tentatively A Convenience. Very hard to listen to. Probably my most unplayed record. 8. Tom n' Jerry's Rockets - 1977 Tom and Jerry Records (Salsoul) if I had to pick the worst and weirdest record it would have to go to these French guys. Skin painted silver, with silver and black outfits, some with painted Motorcycle helmets looking like Power Rangers these guys "rock out" with songs like Sci-Fi Boogie, Cosmic Race, Electro-Voice, Space Rock, Astrolights, and throw in a cover of Canned Heats On the Road Again!! Vocoder Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drums and Claviers...no synths!!! wow, looking in the record I just discovered i even have the 12" mix of the On the Road Again and Space Rock! Lucky me. does anyone have videos of these guys...the gatefold pix are outrageous and look pretty cool. But the tunes, ouch! Oh those French. 9. Evel Knievel - 1974 Amherst Records bet you did not know how to spell it. even the spine of the album spells it wrong (Kneivel). well hell Evel is a true Renaissance man. the record includes Evel doing his songpoem "Why", (Do I do it!), a press conference about the upcoming joke, the snake river canyon jump, talking to kids about safety and doing the right thing,, and the forgettable Ballad of Evel Knievel sung by some unknown bad folk singer. well he was one of my heroes. I had to buy the album! he is no joke but it sure sounds like one. to be continued... # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bump Subject: (exotica) BB/ The Bad and the Bizarre Pt.2 Date: 28 Jun 1999 16:35:33 -0400 10. I dedicate #10 to the albums I have by Movie/TV Stars. truly the worst music you would ever not want to hear. Leonard Nimoy - The Way I Feel Dot Records circa late 60's Spock, I mean Lenny makes no "Bones" about why he is making records... the first cut is I'd Love Making Love to You! do you think he had groupies? the best part of the album is when he administers philosophy in that cold alienlike vocal delivery like the Vulcan Deepak Chopra in tunes like, Where It's At, (about seekers looking for where it's at, only to find out that it is LOVE, and that you have always had it. Heavy! (no Beck did not cover this) and Consilium "Nothing dries faster than a tear". I used to have the Spock Sings LP but i gave it to a chick heavy into Star Trek. Somtimes I am too nice, or cruel depending where your head is at. John Travolta - 1977 Midland Records Yikes, he put out more than one album unfortunately. I have the one called Can't Let You Go...I wish I could let this album go. I only have it for "What Would They Say"...the Boy in the Plastic Bubble theme. Enough already. Lorne Greene - Young at Heart 1963 Booming baritone voice much like Ken Nordine but cornier. Very deadpan versions of I'm Glad I am Not Young Anymore, Young at Heart, You Make Me Feel So Young, Hello, Young Lovers, Young and Foolish... sounds like it should have been a Robert Young album! Sorry. Mike Douglas - The Men in my Little Girls Life 1965 Epic Records talk show host extraordinare Mike D. sings some ultra cheesy sappy songs on this one, my favorite is "A" your Adorable-(the alphabet song). I watched him everyday after school...I had to buy it. Garrett Morris - Saturday Nite Sweet 1980 MCA Never played it...too scared. the last 3 lps I call the 3 Not So Tough Guy trilogy. I bought these cuz they were cool dudes, but the as singers they show us the "tender side" we do not see in their acting roles...and I really do not think I really wanted to hear it. (it must be a girl thing) The following 3 lp's have ruined my whole perspective on these men of men. Burt Reynolds - Ask Me What I Am 1973 Mercury Why not...Burt could do no wrong in the 70's...How 'bout those Cannonball Run's!!! Hear his tender side in tunes that are pretty depressing and not fun to listen to like Childhood 1949, You Can't always Sing a Happy Song, A Room for a Boy Never Used, I Didn't Shake the World Today, There's a Misunderstanding Between God and Man. Very bad folky stuff. The best part about the album is the gatefold poster of Burt in a baby blue polyester leisure suit. It is perforated to rip off and post on your bedroom wall. I am keeping mine intact although he would look good in my bathroom in the company of Tom Jones, Evel Knievel, Starsky and Hutch and the many scantily clad women. Telly Savalas - Telly 1974 MCA Telly states on the liner notes- "I was asked to make a record" ok your excused... his fake heartfelt tenderness shines though beautifully on tracks like Rubber Bands and Bits of String, How Insensitive (very appropriate), If, You and Me Against the World, Something, You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling, I love Telly...he smolders with perversion. Jack Palance - Palance 1970 WB wow I could not believe the Baddest, Meanest and most Evil Guy in the World put out a record that destroys that persona...what an idiot. I can't even play it...it hurts me too much... the best thing about it is the sleeve. like a mug shot. B+W full face shot on front, profile on back. "Come back Jack, come back" I only have one question...can I get these on CD? ******************************** Bump Universal DJ Defective Records bumpy@megsinet.net http://www.defectiverecords.com "The future will be better tomorrow." -- Vice President Dan Quayle # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "telstar" Subject: (exotica) Playlist for "Mondo Bongos" June 30, 1999 Date: 28 Jun 1999 16:27:01 -0400 "Mondo Bongos" can be heard every Wednesday mornings at 9 on CFRU 93.3fm in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

About two months ago someone wrote a cryptic note about this ( something about the e-mail format they sent made it indecipherable). Their major critique, which seems to be everyone's fault found with this book, is it's use as a price guide. I should say uselessness. I attribute it to the fact that the authors conceded the pricing to a record dealer. That is one and only one record DEALER decided how to price these records. Most good price guides rely on consensus of a variety of dealers, relying on one person to figure it out is an oversight of the authors. It's unfortunate that the did this since the dealer's absurd pricing will reflect on them. Even better than a consensus could have been an ENTHUSIASTS price guide. Folks such as the authors of Forever Lounge could just figure prices based on how they feel the album is worth as it pertains to or ranks in importance in the genre. Sure there will be exceptions because of the albums of artists that are hot ticket items at the time of the writing. I use this method to price records I sell at record sales and it never fails to create a buzz. I've noticed that people will regard an album with respect if its priced like a desired collectable, and lord help 'em if they ask me about the record - they'll get the enthusiast's sales pitch! This has been a hint to the authors who will hopefully at some point come out with a second edition. When I first got this book I had started to write a review of it but in the end I found too many faults, and keeping by the phrase "If you can't say anything good don't say anything" I stood mute. So, for now, since you got me started, I'll reiterate a positive that some one else already brought up. It's good for discography purposes. It's hard for me to knock a book that mentions my radio show. So don't ask me about the quality of the album cover reproductions.

Mullin,Frank Tarloff,Bobs Watson Date: 29 Jun 1999 09:43:34 -0500 *John T. Mullin CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) -- John T. ``Jack'' Mullin, an electrical engineer who introduced audio magnetic tape recording to Hollywood and was responsible for the first regular use of radio laugh tracks, died Thursday. He was 85. It was Mullin who galvanized Hollywood, first with Bing Crosby, into adopting magnetic tape recording and who deserves credit for the post-World War II start of commercial audio, data and videotape in America. Once he got Crosby to use magnetic tape in the late 1940s, other entertainers adopted the technology. Through the use of scissors and tape, Mullen was able to splice in laugh and applause tracks. *Frank Tarloff BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Frank Tarloff, a blacklisted screenwriter whose brief membership in the Communist Party in the 1940s haunted him during the House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings, died Friday. He was 83. Tarloff joined the Communist Party in the mid-1940s. A number of American intellectuals signed up with the Communist Party to show their opposition to fascism. He hadn't attended a Communist Party meeting in years by the time he was subpoenaed by the committee at the height of the Red Scare in the early 1950s, his family said. After moving to England, a producer commissioned Tarloff to co-write the 1964 Cary Grant film ``Father Goose.'' The screenplay, co-written with S.H. Barnett and Peter Stone, won an Oscar in 1965 and the Tarloffs returned to Hollywood the following year. *Bobs Watson LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Bobs Watson, the youngest of nine acting siblings during Hollywood's golden age who played Peewee in ``Boys' Town,'' died Saturday of cancer. He was 68. He was best known for his role of Peewee in the 1938 movie ``Boys' Town,'' starring Spencer Tracy. Watson appeared in more than 200 movies and TV shows and 500 stage productions since he was 6 months old. But the entire Watson clan of nine appeared in more than 1,000 movies starting in 1912, including credits such as Jimmy Stewart's children in ``Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.'' Hollywood honored the family with a star on the Walk of Fame in April, but Bobs Watson could not attend because of his illness. His last movie, ``Deadly Delusions,'' was made in 1998 and has not yet been released. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian Phillips Subject: (exotica) The electric lucifer by Bruce Haack Date: 29 Jun 1999 10:04:47 -0400 Is this a good buy or a good-bye for eight dollars? # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Moseley" Subject: (exotica) The electric lucifer by Bruce Haack Date: 29 Jun 1999 15:20:32 +0100 If that is the original, I cannot stress how important it is to have it in your collection for $8.

He wants *me* to pick to music. It's part of what he describes as the "collaboration process". The Hip Hop DJ's at the station have had artists come on and rap live over the air. It would be nice to do the same with jazz or exotica. Hey! I think Martin Denny would work out really well. Actually Martin Denny would work out really really well.

I especially enjoyed Van Dyke Parks being interviewed today and in scenes from the Smile sessions. Over all they went into a lot of objective detail about Brian. At the end they spoke of his recent releases and forgot to mention VDP's recent soft pop album Orange Crate Art where Brian sings the songs. It was a wonderful surprise last year to have VDP release his live album. I really enjoyed VDP doing songs off of Orange Crate Art. My favorite VDP album is Tokyo Rose and my favorite song by him is the Datsun car commercial off of a Warner Bros sampler album in the early 70's. It is interesting how VDP was involed in the soft pop scene at Warner Brothers in the late 60's. As a writer fo;r W/B, his Come to the Sunshine, done by Harper's Bizzare, is a soft pop classic.

The song was "America, The Beautiful". Now THAT was one eloquent statement, as well as a keen way to start a show!

Organized by the leader of the Tiny Tim Fan Club, this is the first album of all Tiny Tim original songs, recorded 7/6/94 (released 1995). Features 35 songs recorded solo, plus one track recorded with Current 93 and Nurse With Wound. Cover artwork by Steven Stapleton. 'A man who is aware of the deepest abysses of human nature -- and of the goldentipped heights of heaven on earth to which only romance can bring us. It is my great pleasure and honour to be involved with this album; Tiny Tim sings from the heart -- his heart -- and from his experience. He's tramped the tearstained streets of showbusiness, looking for that fabled golden paving stone. And he has found it.'-- David Tibet. $19.00 _____________________________________________ REPERTOIRE (GERMANY): MONKS: Black Monk Time CD (REP 4438). 'I know, I know, you're all going to say 'But, but, that came out already in the US via an ill-fated arrangement between Rick Rubin, Henry Rollins, The Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments, and Jesus H. Christ,' but alas (albeit unsurprisingly alas), it's already out of print. So you'll have to deal with the only previously available version, the old reliable Repertoire label's offering from 1994, sans whatever bonus bonus tracks Hank might have scared up. 'The Monks were G.I.s who billed themselves the 'anti-Beatles'. They were heavy on feedback, nihilism and electric banjo. They had strange haircuts, dressedin black and rocked harder than any of their mid-60s counterparts while managing to basically invent punk.' Right. Included music is considered the pantheon of 'outsider' music's brief but impactful mid sixties explosion, the kick-off to Krautrock, psychedelia, yadda yadda...

Limited vinyl reissue (500 copies; previously on CD via Subliminal Sounds) of a fantastic and very obscure electronic release, recorded in the early 50s and issued on LP in 1962 on the World's Fair label (and basically impossible to find ever since).'Visitors ascend to the exhibit in a globe-shaped elevator for a 21-minute tour of the future.' Visitor's to the Seattle World's Fair loved the Bubbleator ride, which was eventually purchased for $5,100 and relocated after the fair's end to the Center House/ Food Circus/Armory. In the early 80's the Center House was remodeled and the Bubblelator was auctioned off. The unknown buyer moved it to their home in North Seattle and turned it into a terrarium and that's where it sits today. Attileo Mineo's Man In Space With Sounds is the record and the electronic outer space exotica music with spoken word introductions that was played in the Bubbleator at the Seattle State World's Fair. It was recorded in 1951 and is one of the rarest and most interesting electronica records in existence.' $16.00 KINGSLEY, GERSHON: Music To Moog By LP (WLP 002 LP). 'Reissue of the first album by German-born composer Gershon Kingsley. Originally released by Audio Fidelity in the late 60s, this record introduced him -- previously known for his Moog concertos at Carnegie Hall -- to the record buying public. Kingsley is one of the original Moog pioneers, well known for his collaborations with French maestro Jean-Jacques Perrey & as composer of the famous '72 hit 'Popcorn'. This album features the original 'Popcorn' as well as other Kingsley originals such as 'Hey Hey,' 'Sheila,' 'Trumansburg Whistle' and some Beatles covers like 'Nowhere Man' and 'Paperback Writer'. A full blown Moog extravaganza, a collection of catchy songs, easy melodies, robotic rhythms and a wide array of frequencies; synthesizer tones which buzz, twitter and twine.' $17.00 # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jonathan Subject: (exotica) sound lounge Date: 29 Jun 1999 10:36:18 -0700 The SouNd lOUnge with host dJ fLInt wednesdays 9pm KPSU 1450 am Portland OR Ken Nordine Outer Space Hows things in Your Town mixed with Attilieo Mineo Around the world Man in space WIth SOunds Bo Axelzon Elin's Blue Eyes Bo Axelzon and his Exotic SOunds Haji Baba Crazy Bongos Crazy BOngo Peter Thomas Orchestra Der Zinker Titlemusik Kriminal Filmmusik (CD) Hugo Montenegro Ilya Man From U.N.C.L.E.

This is amazing with 30 selections and great sound quality for a field recording. I can just imagine the mini discs, tapes and dj radio shows that members of this list will use this disc on between songs. The label is "Dish" and I got mind from former list member Jack Diamond who has a review of it on his web page Also from Jack came "Swing for A Crime" on EVA records (1992?) This is a great crime/jazz/rock album with some spoken word introductions. This crime music rocks and it has my favorite version of Harlemm Nocturne on it, the Viscount's. This is a great selection of songs and one of my favorite cds ever in this genre of music! It starts off with a bang with the Hollywood Persuaders doing their "Drums A-Go-Go". The Vikings cough their way through "Nicotine" Tony Rodelle Larson speaks hip about New Years in a spoken word beat song like wow. Les Baxter gets a spoken word intro on "Boomada" with a great drum solo. The Royal Jokers rock on Vibrations and one of the highlights is Ric Gary singing about "Pimples and Braces" Another awesome cut is Art VanDam doing "Vodoo Doll" I'll definitely play this cd at my next swining New Orleans party.

"Perfect Percussion" by Roy Harte and Milt Holland and their 44 instruments (World Pacific 1405) 1961. Great stuff. It has elements of Martin Denny in the wide array of ethnic percussion instruments and the tasteful use there of, that is they play 'em as musical instruments and not merely as gimmicks. It also has an equal flavoring of Cal Tjader -like jazz improvisation, with emphasis of vibes as the lead instrument.

Jim Fassett's Symphony of the Birds (Ficker Records 1002) Many of you are familiar with the tape manipulation madness of Fassett. Truly wacky stuff. Imagine taking various bird call recordings and by speeding up and slowing down the tapes and carefully selecting the sections of the calls and then weaving this mess into a musical composition! Sure, now we have sampling which takes the special touch out of this process , "any one can do it". But, to me, what gives Fassett's work much of its charm (if not weirdness) is the relatively primitive recording techniques that make the bottom layers of the recording sound muddy and very odd. Much the same quality (of lack there of) of the Giulemi album. I'd love to hear those muddy tones from a CD! I have a thing about 50's and 60's flamenco albums, now that I think about it I started collecting these years before I was aware of my interest in the easy listening stuff. I'll always pick up an inexpensive flamenco album simply because it's flamenco. That was the reason why I picked up Spanish Fire by Los Chavales DeEspana. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed that this album is way beyond flamenco. Imagine flamenco played by a 50's dance band and fronted by a handful of guitarists and dancers.Yow! The obvious show stopper is a tune called Flamenco Twist which is everything this seemingly incompatible combination brings to mind. Everybody twist, Ole!

Monk piano solos? I've used that at readings -- so nice. (Actually stole, er, appropriated the idea from another poet, but more on that later) Some exotica might work -- great idea about Denny -- but stay away from the heavier percussion stuff unless you have a chance to rehearse or coordinate beforehand. The trick is, you don't want the rhythms and sounds of poet guy DaveDan and the music duking it out for ear space. Another thought: if the poems are mellow or bluesy, why not the blue side from Mancini's Blues and the Beat or cuts from Variations? I had fun once reading some love poems over Jackie Gleason's Music, Martinis and Memories for a Valentine's Day radio show. If you have access to a shop with listening stations, check out a couple of poets reading their stuff over music: Allen Ginsburg (The Lion for Real) and John Sinclair (?? Title) use music well on their poetry CDs, and they're still available. Sinclair has written poems with rhythmic patterns meant to mimic Monk's sprung rhythms -- listen to Sinclair's Ruby My Dear for a demo. Chuck in New Orleans: Do you happen to know the name of the Sinclair disk? He lives and broadcasts in the Big EZ now. Giorno Poetry Systems also put out TONS of recordings, most of which are tragically outta print. Jayne Cortez did some fine word jazz in the late 70s, early 80s but her recordings are very very rare. Joy Harjo, a Native American poet, plays sax with her band Poetic Justice and recites on Letter from the End of the 20th Century, but that's probably real hard to get too. If you have time to track down only one CD, go for Ginsberg's The Lion for Real. Hal Willner produced, so the musicians are the best and the recordings fabuloso. I especially love his Gregory Corso's Story with Bill Frisell, and Guru with Steve Swallow. For appropriate beatnik atmospherics, you might toss some Babs Gonzales (sp?) and Ken Nordine word jazz into your mix. Kerouac recordings w/ and w/o music are also available. Either way, have fun. And please let us know how it all works out! May the Spirit of Maynard G.

The best thing was the patter inbetween the songs - and even during the songs. Althougb a lot of people slag off his new LP, full of classics like "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", I had never really listened to these songs before his LP = and they are GREAT songs with lots of double entendre lyrics, completely within the Hazlewood tradition. But what I thought the CD lacked was Lee's own sort of sarcastic interpretation, which he delivered with voice intonation and facial expression when performing live.

Exactely. Or feature a girl on stage for these duets... In the beginning he told the audience, he would bring the "more obscure" songs of his repertoire, "for the addicts", I thought great! But both the medley and his versions of old-time-jazz/swing songs such as "Whoopy" contradicted this concept, although they were not bad. To me the medley was an attempt to show, what great songs he had written, to those who do not know him so well (who, to my estimation, were the vanishing minority in the audience), rather than really performing these songs. (To hear my favourite song of all times, "Some Velvet Morning", ripped apart by the man who had written it, gave me a step into the heart).But however this was up to him and the bigger problem of the gig was the band actually, this Lars Samuelsson Group. Except for Al Casey and this other American, the flute/clarinet player, I thought they were a bit lame. But again it's only a theoretical point, as there probably simply was no other band he could have possibly done the gig with. The truly great thing about the concert was Lee talking a lot between songs, as Jill has mentioned. Lee the unappreciated genius, Lee the loser, Lee the cowboy, Lee the fighter for the rights of artists, Lee the dirty old man, it was all in his tales. And to hear it by his own legendary voice was worth the trip alone. It gave you an idea of where the songs came from and also, what "went wrong" in his life, why he never became such a super-star like, say, Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson or so.

There is something special about this man, that you knew before from his songs and could find back in the real person this day.

(AP) -- Allan Carr, the writer-producer who brought the teeny-bopping play ``Grease'' to the big screen and won a 1984 Tony award for producing the Broadway hit ``La Cage aux Folles,'' died Monday. He was 62. ``Grease'' earned Carr several awards, including producer of the year from the national Association of Theatre Owners and two People's Choice awards for best movie and most popular film. In 1969, he co-produced his first film, the coming-of-age comedy ``The First Time,'' starring Jacqueline Bisset. The next year, he co-produced the comedy ``C.C. and Company,'' starring former quarterback Joe Namath as a motorcyclist who battles a biker gang that menaces a fashion journalist played by Ann-Margret. After the success of ``Grease,'' Carr co-produced the 1980 musical ``Can't Stop the Music,'' which starred the disco band The Village People. Carr returned to Rydell High in 1982 with the critically panned ``Grease 2,'' starring Michelle Pfieffer. He continued producing stage shows while making movies, and in 1984 won a Tony Award for producing that year's best musical, ``La Cage aux Folles.'' That same year, the producer made his last two films, the spy comedy ``Cloak and Dagger'' and sex farce ``Where the Boys Are '84.'' *Dorothy Lee SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Dorothy Lee, a former film actress who once shared the stage with Lucille Ball and gained notoriety for her work with RKO Radio Studios in the '30s, died Thursday. She was 88. Lee co-starred in 13 of the 21 RKO films popularized by the comedy team of Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. She made 28 films in her lifetime, the last of those being ``Repent at Leisure'' in 1941. Two years prior, she appeared with Ball in ``Twelve Crowded Hours.'' In 1994, Lee wrote the forward for Edward Watz's book ``Wheeler and Woolsey: the Vaudeville Comic Duo and Their Films.'' *John Woolf LONDON (AP) -- British film producer Sir John Woolf, who brought ``The African Queen'' and ``Oliver!'' to the silver screen, died Monday. He was 86. His father, C.M. Woolf, had helped to rebuild Britain's film industry after World War I, setting up General Film Distributions in the late 1930s. After distinguishing himself in World War II, where Woolf worked on Army films and received the U.S. Bronze Star, he returned home to work for his father's company, which was the distribution arm of The Rank Organization. After his father's death in 1942, Woolf became a managing director. In 1948 he founded his own company, Romulus Films, with his brother James. As a producer, Woolf had a sharp eye for spotting hits. He put up half the money for ``The African Queen,'' which starred Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn and was a huge success. Under Woolf's leadership, the company produced a string of hits, including ``Richard III'' starring Laurence Olivier, John Huston's ``Moulin Rouge'' and ``Beat the Devil,'' the adaptation of John Braine's novel ``Room at the Top'' and Academy Award-winner ``Oliver!'' in 1968. In all, Woolf's films won 13 Oscars. He founded Anglia Television in 1958 and set up a drama department that produced more than 100 plays and series such as ``Orson Welles' Great Mysteries'' and ``Tales of the Unexpected'' for broadcast around the world. Woolf was knighted in 1975. # 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nat Kone Subject: Re: (exotica) Swing For A Crime/Sounds For Little Ones Date: 30 Jun 1999 11:19:30 -0400 At 10:56 AM 6/29/99 -0700, chuck wrote: > >Also from Jack came "Swing for A Crime" on EVA records (1992?)

Then Lee Hazlewood disappeared, opting for a quiet life in Sweden. Now, Courtney Love and Nick Cave are doing covers of his songs, and he's part of the Meltdown Festival at London's South Bank=20 Sunday June 13, 1999=20 New York crowds don't get much hipper than this. The women look either like a young Patti Smith or Marianne Faithfull circa Girl On A Motorcycle, the men like members of Television or Sonic Youth. In fact, some are members of Television or Sonic Youth. In the middle of it all, though, two grey-haired men stand huddled together conspiratorially, bizarrely, like ice sculptures brought in specially for the occasion. One looks down and swivels his wrist, coating the sides of his tumbler with a thin film of gold fluid. He is Lee Hazlewood, and the party's for him. 'I drink Scotch that's older'n mosta these people, for Chrissake,' he grins to himself. His veteran guitarist friend Al Casey, catching the thought, smiles back. 'I think you're about to be discovered, Lee,' he says. They both fall about laughing. Not bad for a 'redneck injun' who turns 70 next month. Hazlewood was one of the people who helped synthesise rock'n'roll from a mixture of country music and blues. He discovered Duane Eddy, inspired Phil Spector and Beach Boy genius Brian Wilson, supplied the previously untouchable Nancy Sinatra with 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' and turned her into the first Spice Girl. He went on to write and perform a sequence of timeless duets with her, among them the dark, ambiguous classic 'Some Velvet Morning', and to produce a series of obscure but brilliant solo albums that collectors pay anything up to =A3100 a pop for. Along the way, he released the first country rock record by the totemic Gram Parsons, who ended up changing the course of pop music with The Byrds. During the late Sixties and early Seventies, there was no more respected writer or producer, and his songs have been sung by artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Einsturzende Neubaten, Lisa Germano, Lydia Lunch, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Nick Cave, Courtney Love and Billy Ray Cyrus, whose neutered cover of 'Boots' earned its author $1 million on its own a few years back.=20 Then, at the height of his success, Hazlewood packed up and ran away to Sweden. For most of the intervening period, the singer/writer/producer has been on the move, refusing to sanction the re-release of his records and shunning celebrity for reasons which were anything but clear. Why did he disappear? One account has Frank Sinatra running him out of town after Nancy and he, the Dionysian, inveterate hell-raiser, grew too close for Old Blue Eye's liking. Another blames unwisely accrued gambling debts. Despite Hazlewood's enduring cult status, the truth has been hard to come by. But with some of the back catalogue now becoming widely available for the first time, and an appearance at Nick Cave's Meltdown Festival on London's South Bank accompanying first screenings of several of his films next week, a full account of one of pop's most idiosyncratic careers is becoming possible.=20 The day after his party, Hazlewood is to be found in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt hotel in Manhattan. He's easy to spot: while others bustle around in suits, he slumps in a chair, wearing jeans and a shapeless sweatshirt. For some reason, he carries three large bottles of Pepsi, and when you meet him, there are no niceties, just a narrowing of the eyes to indicate that he knows you're there. His face is remarkably unlined, and when he speaks, the familiarity of that gruff Southern twang takes you aback.=20 His story is that of 20th-century America. Born in Oklahoma in July 1929, three months short of the great stock market crash, he came from a family that was a mix of highly educated lawyers, Texan ranchers and Creek Indians. Relocated to Texas, his father broke with tradition and became an oil man who dabbled in promoting country music concerts. Success enabled his only son to study medicine at Southern Methodist University, though he dropped out after being conscripted to the army and sent to Korea ('What did I learn? To run and cry'). He trained in broadcasting, became a successful DJ, and began to write songs. Too cussed and weird for all the major publishing and record companies, he set about producing his own music. He had a hit with a song called 'The Fool', which was later covered by Elvis; found Duane Eddy and made his low-slung guitar sound like artillery fire, thanks to a primitive echo chamber comprising a $200 grain elevator with a speaker and microphone in it, a defining moment in the evolution of rock'n'roll; and provided early inspiration for Phil Spector's trademark 'wall of sound', discovering most of the musicians who would become that celebrated producer's famous 'wrecking crew' and provide backing for the Beach Boys' landmark Pet Sounds album.=20 By the age of 35, he had made enough money to retire and, depressed by the 'British invasion' of the mid-Sixties, did so. 'You picked up the charts, looked at the Top 20 and it was all English stuff,' he explained recently. 'The only ones I liked out of the whole group was the Stones. The Beatles were all wussies. So I said, "I am not going to fight this." Anyway, by then I could afford not to.'=20 For months, he sat watching the bugs in his pool, drinking his beloved Chivas Regal and strumming his guitar, living off publishing royalties. Sometimes, he would be joined by his neighbour Jimmy Bowen, who ran the singles department at Frank Sinatra's Reprise Records label. Bowen's big problem at that time was what to do with the boss's daughter, whose candyfloss records nobody wanted. He badgered Hazlewood to have a go with her and eventually succeeded. The first effort, 'So Long, Babe', charted, and a second collaboration was lined up. Hazlewood had a specific song in mind and Nancy Sinatra liked it, but then she heard 'Boots' and fell in love with it. Despite his protestations that 'you don't understand the lyrics and, if you did, you would know that it is dirty, that "messing", in East Texas, is the term for fucking...', her mind was set. Eventually, he relented, and by the time it came to recording, he was telling her, 'Goddam it! I want you to sing this like you're a 16-year-old girl who goes out with 45-year-old truck drivers!' She did, and the song became his first number one hit. Hazlewood refuses to take full credit for Nancy. 'She did that herself, with those little mini skirts and those big boots which you wouldn't mind her walking all over you in cos she was so small,' he says. 'Each time I'd see her, she'd be a little more like that. Nancy knew what to do. She's campy and all that stuff now, but she's always been smart.'=20 Between 1966 and 1969, he wrote and produced the better part of nine albums for Sinatra, including a number of hit singles. What few people noticed at the time was that many of them were as loaded as anything Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground were touting. The superficially saccharine 'Sugar Town', which made number five in the US chart, was derided by a New York Times critic as containing 'the worst pop lyric in 30 years'. Word-obsessed Hazlewood still bristles at this. 'He had no idea how hard I worked to make that so dumb, so ignorant, so lackadaisical.' The writer had been mesmerised by the sight of a kid dropping some acid on a sugarcube in a club one night, and commented, 'There must be a place you go on sump'em like that - there must be a sugar town.' Younger listeners knew it was a drug song, but few will have appreciated the depth of its ambiguity.=20 The same is also true of the duets, a Hazlewood speciality which had begun with his girlfriend Suzi Jane Hokom and carried on later in Sweden with Nina Lizell. Were the protagonists of 'Some Velvet Morning' and 'Lady Bird' dancing round the flame of drink, drugs or sex? The only thing we know is that Hazlewood and his partners invariably sound as though they have either just finished making love or are just about to start. Hazlewood laughs at this, while admitting the illicit lure of what he calls his 'beauty and the beast' songs, which are 'not vanilla, like Sonny and Cher'.=20 'But there's humour in 'em, too,' says Hazelwood. 'A lot of people say my songs have sexual things in 'em, but they only have sexual things in 'em if you've got sexual things on yer mind. I think we enjoy people who've been lucky in life, but I think we also secretly enjoy the unluckiness of others. That's the dark side, and you might as well accept it and embrace it.' If Lee Hazlewood is anything, he's the American Jacques Brel. He's the point at which old-style pop craftsmanship collides with Sixties counter-culture.=20 The rumours of an affair, and the fall-out with Frank, are denied by both parties. Hazlewood maintains he went to Sweden because he wanted to involve himself in TV and film and couldn't do that in LA. It could also be that he was finding it harder to impose his will on the new breed of artist he was encountering by 1969. At that time, he was seeing Suzi Jane Hokom, who produced Gram Parsons and his International Submarine Band for Hazlewood's LHI label. The two men got on very badly. Ask why, and Hazlewood mimes injecting his arm with a hypodermic syringe. 'All the time. You couldn't talk to him,' he grimaces. Tracked down by Mojo magazine, however, Hokom told a different story.=20 'Lee was an amazing writer,' Hokom says. 'He's sitting there with his Scotch, and these things would just come out of him. He was a very complex guy. There's a part of Lee that's just out there, but there's still the guy from Oklahoma, the wildcatter's son. Lee and Gram had such problems; Lee was older, and his ego just kinda got in the way. I think he was jealous. He could not stand all the attention I was lavishing on these guys who were more of my generation.'=20 Whatever the reason, Hazlewood travelled to Sweden. According to his film director friend Torbj=9Arn Axelman, the singer was actually on his way to Moscow, but stopped for a couple of days and ended up staying. Hokom remained behind and took up with country rocker Doug Dillard.=20 'Next thing I knew, Lee sent me an album called Requiem For An Almost Lady, which was brutally honest about our relationship. He said, "This is the way I feel," and I went, "Well, too bad! You blew it."'=20 Mention any of this to Hazlewood, and his face grows stormy, to the point where you wonder how much damage a 70-year-old man could do with a plastic Pepsi bottle. Today, he maintains that the skewed, heartbroken balladry on Requiem rose from the ashes of three different relationships, though he won't tell you which ones. He'd released a pair of quirky solo albums in the early Sixties on Reprise, a proto-concept album about the characters in a small Texan town, titled Trouble Is A Lonesome Town, and a sequel entitled The Not So Very Important People. But during the first few years of his five-year spell in Sweden, he was prolific, making albums, films and TV specials with Axelman, including the famous but seldom seen Nancy And Lee In Las Vegas, where Sinatra seems disoriented and drained, the little girl struggling to fill a big stage (Axelman suggests that she was also thrown by the absence of her father, whom 'the Italian guys' had banned from Vegas after he threw a photographer through a plate-glass window). This, along with the riotously funny Cowboy In Sweden TV special, in which the moustachioed Hazlewood looks as much of a cowboy as Peter Mandelson does, will be screened at Meltdown at South Bank on 26 June.=20 The quality of the albums Hazlewood produced at this time is extraordinary. Duets with Nina Lizell, such as the wistful 'Leather And Lace' and 'Hey Cowboy' were as charged and mischievous as ever ('We didn't want to speak about it so much, but maybe there was a little love story,' Lizell purrs over a phoneline from Sweden), but his oeuvre was expanding still. 'No Train To Stockholm', for instance, was a gently drifting and understated anti-war song, the last thing anyone expected from Lee Hazlewood. He has been married twice, the first time to his high-school sweetheart Naomi Shackleford, with whom he had two children, Debra and Mark. In 1970, Mark was 15, approaching draft age.=20 'Vietnam kept going and going, and it worried me. So I pulled his butt to Stockholm. I said, "He's not going to that war, cos I went to one and I didn't enjoy it." We didn't have any business there, and I don't have any war stories, except that I'm alive. Because of my Southernness, everybody imagined in those days that I was a good ol' boy redneck, right-wing, when I was always a little left of Chairman Mao.'=20 Hazelwood clearly likes children and talks animatedly about being a father and a grandfather. By his account, he 'took the Eighties off' to raise his third child, Samantha, now 19, having felt that he wasn't at home enough for the first two. After Sweden, however, he never settled for long in one place, spending time near Malaga, in Helsinki, Paris, London and the place where his career began in earnest, Phoenix. He now lives in Orlando with Jeannie, a former military policewoman, still writes a bit, and seems to have found peace. Perhaps this is why Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, a Hazlewood collector of 15 years' standing, found him receptive to the idea of giving the back catalogue a belated general release.=20 'It's easy to misunderstand Lee,' he says. 'Everyone talks about the dark side, and there are all these undercurrents going on, but the way they're presented is quite innocent. After his time, things got a bit blatant, and I think one of the reasons his stuff has lasted is because the songs still have a sense of mystery about them. They're open to interpretation and can still seem moving and relevant. Not many people write like that any more.' =B9 =95 'Cowboy In Sweden' is available on Smells Like Records. 'Trouble Is A Lonesome Town' and 'Requiem For An Almost Lady' are due out on 13 September, and 'The N.S.V.I.P.' in the new year.

Music from commercials arranged by Jazz saxophonist and composer of "I Remember Clifford". Recorded in 1967. Ever since I saw the cover art on Vic's web page http://www.chaoskitty.com/sabpm/artists.html I've been interested in what the album sounded like and am happy to say it has that production music/ psysho happy/ 60's/zoom zoom za za/ almost jazz feeling I've been trying to put my finger on..... I keep on looking at the label, I can't believe it's on Verve. The same label with all those greats, Louie, Ella and Billie et all. If anyone has this can they confirm that track 4 (No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)) is in rough shape? Like there is something wrong with the original tape of the CD mastering? Wonder if this got reissued on CD because it was on the original SABPM page?

Dom, Jane is getting fashion advice on another list that she is on. The lady is telling Jane that she & Astroslut should start wearing tight T-shirts. Of coarse the lady giving Jane this fashion tip lived some time in New Orleans. In New Orleans your glasses always steam up, just from the humidity alone!

When it comes to poetry over music, the place to go is Rod McKuen. Yeah, yeah, I can hear the groans. Or maybe not. Maybe this list is the place Rod would get his "props". Rod had a number of records under his own name alone which featured poetry - or his unique brand of "spoken words" if you prefer - over music but my favourites are the Sea, Earth, etc records he made with Anita Kerr. The music on those records pretty well covered the bases from fake orchestral to groovy little tunes but there's an emphasis on the almost "cinematic" sweeping string orchestrations. I think I know why jazz has so often been read over "jazz" and once upon a time it would have thrilled me to see a poet read over a cool combo. But at this point, IF I were to attend a poetry reading, it would totally make my day to have my expectations shattered and suddenly hear a little exotica bubbling under the surface. I think it's time for birdcalls and poetry to walk hand-in-hand. There used to be a Canadian "poetry collective" called The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or something like that. They just made sounds, no words. Four of them up there grunting and making up fake words. There was a name for that. "Concrete poetry"? I think one of them exclusively did birdcalls. Of course, since they were Canadian, he mostly imitated the call of the loon rather than the more exotic birds we're all familiar with on this list. If you really get into this, I have a record "The Call of the Wild Loon" that I probably could tape for you.

OK, y'all. Quit gettin' all hot and bothered. The dress cost me $1 and is a "border print" dress - very Jacqueline Suzanne (sp?) early 70s type style - or so my fashion consultant Micki O from Rocket Baby says. It has very old seams and once I had to rip it off to get out of it - because I live alone. It is mainly orange and yellow - not too sexy, sexy - ask Moritz, he saw it. But is is very tight in the upper body so I can't raise my arms above my head. It SHOULD fit that way. More flattering. As for the taxi driver - it was unusual request that he was more than happy to oblige. He said he'd never been asked that before, and I imagine he enjoyed it. I didn't get his name. He provided a service. I don't need to know servants names! Men are there for convenience. Names are irrelevant. I've only stripped once, on a bet. It didn't bother me a bit. About 400 people were there. It was a nightclub where people didn't take much notice. Which was fine. It's only a body. You might all know "Jane" as an AstroSlut, but I am a Cheap Slut - literally, and if any of you know Cheap Records in Vienna with the act Sluts 'n' Strings & 909, then you might know what I mean. The rest of you, just use your imagination.
