If any of you have any info, I'll pass it along. - - bruce Do you have or do you know of a record from the early 60's entitled "Where or When" by the Bill (or Bob) Mitchell Orchestra? It was played regularly on the old NBC Radio "Monitor" weekend series. It's an upbeat instrumental. I know it exists and have been looking for it for 35+ years! I believe it may be on a 45 rpm, possibly under the "Monarch(?)" label. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 15:39:07 -0400 From: alan zweig Subject: (exotica) persistence of vinyl This isn't my story but since it relates to my film, it sort of becomes partly mine. And I don't think this will ruin anything for the few people here who are about to see the film in Washington on July 21. There's this guy I know named Malcolm. I actually interviewed him for my film but he basically isn't in it. Malcolm's collection seems to be driven by the memories of the rock bands that came to his high school or local teen dances when he was a kid. In fact, a lot of Malcolm's conversations are about memories, the past etc. He's the kind of guy who has lots of stories about the records that got away, the records he was looking for his whole life and the one week he DIDN'T go into some store, they got that record and sold it. But it's more than that. He has lots of stories about the past. Period. Including some good ones about hanging around with Lonnie Johnson and Booker White when they were in Toronto. So one night recently Malcolm is driving home from work and for some reason, some old record from the distant past leaps into his head. He was a Catholic school boy in Quebec in the sixties and sometimes Father Steele would take a few of them back into his study and... (Don't go there!) play records for them. And on this particular occasion Father Steele played them a record his brother had made. Malcolm tried to picture the record, the label, the name of the artist but all he could remember was that it was instrumental and had a bit of a country sound. So he goes up to his apartment and there's a message from a friend of his about some film on TV that night that deals with record collecting. So Malcolm figures (correctly) that it's my film so he turns it on but it's already in progress and anyway, he's got calls to make. So the film goes on in the background and while he's on the phone, Malcolm half-listens to the film. He sees this guy talking about buying records at garage sales. Then the guy is talking to someone at a garage sale. The garage sale guy says he used to be a musician. The guy asks him what his name is. The garage sale guy - remember this is a movie, not a dream in Malcolm's head - says his name is Don Steele. (Malcolm, still on the phone, half-hears that) The guy says "I have your record!" The garage sale guy says "I don't think so". The guy names it. "Steel Guitar blues" (That enters Malcolm's brain and he shakes his head, directing his attention towards the TV) The garage sale guy confirms that's the name of the one 45 he made some thirty years ago. The film cuts to a shot of the actual record held up by the guy who claimed to have it. Malcolm stares at the record he was struggling to remember only an hour earlier! the end AZ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 15:52:10 -0400 From: alan zweig Subject: (exotica) pop music recommendations Once upon a time I recommended Lambchop's record "Nixon" here, particularly for its Bacharach-esque qualities. Someone thanked me for the tip. So I'm going to do it again. The band is called Cousteau. I hate the name. And the cover too is a bit cheesy. They look a bit like a hipster Holiday Inn band. The blurb on the record from some review, says they sound like The Walker Brothers doing Bacharach. And that's exactly what they do sound like! But I found it mesmerizing. If you like the Tindersticks - as I do - they sound a bit like the Tindersticks except the vocals are way up front and the Bacharachisms are way way up front. There's one song that sounds exactly like Walk on By. But I didn't care. It was kind of refreshing even. I argued with someone about whether they came by these influences honestly or whether they're jumping on a very small bandwagon. I think this is just their taste. They seem too uncool to have chosen this cynically. Speaking of cynically though, here's a record some of you will like but it's totally cynical and clever and gimmick and kind of smarmy. It's David Candy "Play Power". There's one cut that's a kind of ripoff of Rod McKuen's "Bathtub Surfing" though it's hard to believe it's on purpose. There's lots of smarmy spoken word on top of soft pop ba ba ba wordless vocal backgrounds (right out of Bathtub Surfing) There's a cover of "Listen to the Music", not the Doobie Brothers tune but the psychedelic soft pop classic by... I can't remember. I think I first heard it on a soundtrack maybe. It's all over the place but it's cheesy fun and shows influences some of us would appreciate. Somebody here will like it I'm sure.

Sure. I'm in the Bay Area a lot. Here are my favorites. I've been to all of them multiple times and can vouch for their tikiness. Trader Vics - Emeryville (near Oakland) Tonga Room - located in the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill in downtown SF. I went there last Sunday and had a really enjoyable time. Expensive, but it's worth it just for the simulated tropical thunderstorms. Trad'r Sams - small neighborhood tiki bar on Geary St. near the big Russian Orthodox church. Beware, this bar can be filled with surly locals and barkeeps who don't mix the drinks correctly. Lilo Lounge - another nice neighborhood lounge in the Potrero Hill district of SF. Eat at Eliza's the chinese restaurant next door. Be sure to try the stir-fry ostrich! Other places I've heard of but never been to: ZamZam - this is a very odd little bar on Haight St. that's run by a guy who only opens it when he feels like it. He tells you what you will have to drink (usually a martini) and will throw you out if you ask for anything else. Cafe DuNord - a lounge that offers up food, live swing music, and DJs along with their drinks. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 21:33:49 -0400 From: itsvern@attglobal.net Subject: (exotica) Ken Nordine interview Salon magazine has a very delightful and magical interview with Ken Nordine of WordJazz fame.

What was the earliest favorite record you can >recall? Although I can't remember it, my parents told me the toy 78 player they got me was my favourite toy and I played all those same kids records well. I don't know waht happened to the player but I still have a few of the record! The first kids LP I ever got (which I still have) was Deputy Dawg, another of those cartoons with speech so stereotyped you could never show them today for fear of serious political incorrectness. Not quite Little Marcy mind you... But the first record I ever bought, a single, was The Fifth Dimension's "Aquarius" at age 10 or 11. OK my now 12 year old nephew was buying gangster rap at that age but c'mom it was the early 60's! Ironic that I should have gone the full circle back to this stuff after a run through just about every other musical style known in the 30 years in between.But I can't say I've ever to this day picked up on the broadway musicals my parents played when I was young though. And just to prove there will always be a generation gap, my parents now listen to the likes of Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand, and you can probably guess where I stand on that particular subject...

So... is this just the Enoch Light Orchestra with bongos on top? If so, gimme more! Now I'm off to give a listen to "Rendezvous in Rio" by Fernandez Pray, who's unknown to me, at least.

He was 55. Brood, who spoke about the difficulty of ending his daily drug habit, had complained of poor health and depression and told a close friend he didn't want to fade away. "Brood entered art school at 17 and joined musical groups beginning in the 1960s. He became a sensation with his 1978 hit single ``Saturday Night,'' which he wrote as leader of the band Wild Romance. Over 25 years he recorded nearly 20 albums, on his own or with a variety of groups, and also acted in Dutch movies. "He briefly withdrew from recording in the early 1990s to focus on painting and poetry. But in one year, 1994, he released a book, a new CD and a film. "As his success grew, Brood became known as much for his drug-based wild life style as for his art. "He quit drugs last summer after his doctor warned him his life was at risk, but the television reported his mental and physical health quickly deteriorated. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=B0z63tr79klox http://www.google.com/search?q=%22herman+brood%22 James Cuminale ROCHESTER, N.Y.

Their collection included Doris Day and the Tijuana Brass, and a childhood favourite of mine - Allan Sherman's "My Son The Nut". My own collection included the usual Disney standards of the time (Cinderella, Babes In Toyland, Winnie The Pooh, etc.) and one of Danny Kaye narrating Hans Christian Andersen stories, which I loved to listen to. Thankfully, my parents never moved their record collection to the basement, so all the records were kept in fairly good condition in the living room, then the family room when they moved, and I have most of them here now. When I was very young, my grandparents bought me two Beatles singles. I'm not sure why they chose them - I couldn't have been more than 6 or so at the time - but I listened to them constantly (I Want To Hold Your Hand b/w I Saw Her Standing There and Please Please Me b/w Ask Me Why) And when my older cousins came over to babysit, they brought their Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bee Gees and Hermans Hermits records with them to play. (I can remember singing "Henry the 8th" over and over again as a kid...) I really can't remember the first LP I bought. I used to take records out of the library to tape on my cassette player - Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, when I was around 12 or 13. Life-changing records were T. Rex's "Electric Warrior", Mott The Hoople's "Mott" and The New York Dolls debut album. I finally got my own stereo when I was 16, which I kept in my room (my parents were more than relieved to not have to listen to my music anymore...) and my record collection began to expand rapidly at that point. And it shows no signs of letting up anytime soon... cheryl # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 12:09:59 -0400 (EDT) From: Bruce Lenkei Subject: Re: (exotica) A new fan....... Ha! Great story. My new girlfriend also seems to like Lyman records a lot. They're just so relaxing and background-ish. Except for the marching tracks. It's just a real smooth sound, with only a hint of exotic feeling, but not so much that you get distracted by any of it. - - bruce # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 12:22:53 EDT From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) persistence of vinyl First 45: "Chantilly Lace" by The Big Bopper First LP: "Out of Our Heads" by Rolling Stones First Headpone Revelation: "It Must Be A Camel" by Frank Zappa off the "Hot Rats" LP Childhood Mammary: "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" by Patti Page Lifechangers: Our of Our Heads by Rolling Stones, Disraeli Gears by Cream, first Vanilla Fudge LP, Brian Auger & The Trinity "Whenever You're Ready", JB's "Pass The Peas"LP, First Choice "Armed & Extremely Dangerous, Skip Mahoaney& The Casuals "Wherever You Go" on A-Bet (1976), :"We're A Happy Family" by The Ramones, "I'm Bored" by Iggy Pop, forget the 80's, and Exotica, first as a statement against the marketing of music, then as its own entity...JB # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 17:31:07 +0100 From: Charles Moseley Subject: (exotica) LA I'm off to LA Saturday for a week.

Cheryl wrote: >Life-changing records were T. Rex's >"Electric Warrior", Mott The Hoople's "Mott" Damn! You seem to be my long-lost sister with different parents, or something like that. I was just thinking about the "Mott" album a couple of days ago ("Honaloochie Boogie" had popped into my head)! I hope you got a copy of Ian Hunter's tour diary book at some point (the printing I have was titled "Reflections Of A Rock Star", but it's had other titles which I don't remember). The odd thing about "Electric Warrior" is that it took me a couple of weeks to realize it was a gatefold cover. Did anyone else have the Tyrannosaurus Rex "Unicorn" album? That's the early, acoustic, very strange album with tunes like "Cat Black The Wizard's Hat". I had a near hypnotic fascination with that album. And it's another one I've been thinking about lately. Ain't synchronicity fun? And, er, yeah, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath were in there too at some point. m.ace mace@ookworld.com http://ookworld.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 20:33:14 +0000 From: SH Subject: Re: (exotica) persistence of vinyl To answer m.ace’s questions about my first vinyl memories here I go: I must have been five or six, maybe seven and always thought my mom had a great number of records, today I estimate them to have been around 80 pieces. Most of them were classical. But also Mirelle Mathieu. Neither of these I liked to play. My favorites were BONANZA by The Nashville Ramblers (on Europa). Then she had a nonstop (a gogo) Tijuana trumpet pseudo Herb Alpert album with a mexican corrida scene on the front cover, and party meal receipts on the back. I further know she had the famous Popcorn album by Hot Butter (featuring Moog versions of Apache, Telstar and Pipeline). She had the Midnight flyer album by Ray Anthony, when I later decided to ask her for that (she hadn’t played it much ever, and stopped listening to records some years ago) I knew the easy barrier was broken, entering from the rock’n’roll side of things. I picked the records that I wanted to play on the strength of their covers, because I thought they might be story records like my 2 Winnetou LPs. The cowboy cover, the corrida cover, the funny Pippi Longstocking type girl on the Popcorn cover. The guy with trumpet in front of the jet plan. These looked much more exciting to me, than say the Wiener Sängerknaben in some big cathedral. Or Mirelle Mathieu crooning. So I found out that adults listen to records with no storytelling on them. Hardly any words. As I was listening through them I started playing with the pan, bass, treble and volume knobs on the Dual stereo receiver amp. I remember I liked to turn the volume up according to the music (rhythm?). The Bonanza record was the first to enter my personal collection. I also gave the Mirelle Mathieu records a new home. Are the Wiener Sängerknaben next???

Sorry I didn't get it out in time for opening night. from Time Out NY: "Is it just us, or do the hottest culinary ideas always seem to come out of Columbus, Ohio? This week, Marion's-in an annual summer ritual-transforms into a tiki bar to pay homage to the defunct Kahiki Lounge, an Ohio landmark. The restaurant will be decked out in kitschy tropical decor, and chef Carlos Ruela will serve a special Polynesian menu including favorites like the pupu platter and coconut shrimp. Tropical drinks will also be flowing. On opening night, the staff assures us we'll find "scantily clad cabana boys"-a touch we're guessing owes more to New York than to Columbus. Kahiki Lounge at Marion's. 354 Bowery between 3rd and 4th Sts (212-475-7621).
