I bet the place is probably pretty expensive. Comments on an alternative hotel? The Fairmont would be fab but very expensive you could try the Motel CApri at 346-4667 or any non-name hotel or youth hostel in the theatre district (aka the Tenderloin) These are all cheap and relatively safe but on the streets it is one of the worst parts of town. Ironically it is close to Union square which has the most exclusive hotels in town There is no motel six but on Lombard are a lot of other relatively cheap hotels such as the mildly Polynesian Lanai Motel near my pad and centrally located is a TravelLodge but Bimbo's (the club where Denny is going to play) is in North Beach near Fisherman's Wharf (Columbus near Bay) and the hotels there are really expensive because of the high tourism. There are two hotels that are practically next door to Bimbo's. If a few people contact me (ie enough to warrant it) I'll ask Bimbo's if they have a deal with a nearby hotel for touring bands and see if they can pull dome strings on some sort of group rate # 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: Sun, 10 Jan 1999 01:33:23 -0500 From: cheryl Subject: (exotica) Playlist For Space Bop, January 10 Beyond kitsch, Space Bop is one hour of full galactical wonder, and can be heard every Sunday from 4 to 5 pm on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, Canada.

Some bank service packages offer this service free as does mine. These should be treated as cash assuming the recipient has something as basic as a bank account. As I haven't for some time orderd anything from the UK (and given costs it isn't usually viable anyway) I was under the assumption that the same method works and there is no additional cost to the recipient, though this may only be a Canada-UK thing. The problem when sending a MO/BD to Europe is the recipient gets hit with a whopping fee to cash it and the direct bank transfer method is even worse. Yes much as we think badly of our banking system for high fees, the European system must make even our own bankers drool with envy. I do use Visa wherever possible and highly recommmend it but not everyone accepts it and in this case there is only one sure fire and inexpensive method open to everyone (cash in the mail is not recommended) and that is the International Postal Money Order. You buy this at your local post office and there is a reasonably small flat fee to make. Most important, it should have no fees for the recipient and is cashed at any post office. The only downside is the speed as here at least, you fill out a form which is then sent to our National Capital where it is processed and sent off. Slow as it is, it is safe and reliable. I think most major currencis are available but check it out at your own post office.

I just found a 45 record of Leland W. Sprinkle Sr. (there's a Jr. with that name!? Annie's dad?) playing the Great Stalacpipe Organ at Luray Caverns in Luray, Virginia. What's a stalacpipe organ? Stalactites, "those stoney icicles" will resonate when struck, so Leland spent three years grinding them down to where they would sound at concert pitch. Enough stalactites were worked to form almost a four octave range and then each was fixed with an electronically triggered mallet which could be controlled by a organ console. The sound is eerily similar to a pipe organ and the natural resonance of the cavern creates an alternative to a cathedral space. At times the tone sounds similar to the primitive stone marimbas from southeast asia/indonesia,both would be in the family of lithophones. The first track is a great narration explaining the organ but unfortunately the music, seven short tunes, is mostly religious/classical. Supposedly the organ can play on automatic with it's "robot organist" so I guess any melody can be played! It would be great to hear a version of "Music to watch Girls By" on this beast. I would love to find out if this is still exists. Anybody? This has also got me thinking about some exotica sight seeing tour (or rather, sound listening tour) of similar exotica spectacles.I'm told that at least a couple of the Organ Pizza places in the mid-west still exist. If any one knows of more prime locations do tell.

I don't think there is such a thing as a basic library on vinyl since for most people, it's catch-as-catch-can. If you have Dick Schory and Ray Martin, I'd say you have as good a start at that basic library as anyone could. One thing about this list is that pretty soon you find out that a few of those strange and anomalous records you picked up over the years turn out to be sought-after "classics"... as I found out about Dean Elliot's "Zounds what sounds" and Al Caiola's "Sounds for spies and private eyes" which had been lingering the grab-bag section of my collection for a couple of years before I actually started "collecting" this kind of stuff. I was probably almost a year into this stuff before I realized how "essential" Ray Martin and Dick Schory were and you're already there. And by the way, if this resembles encouragement, it's really not. I would never encourage anybody to get into this stuff. But if you're set on it, you should know that it's endless and that you can kiss your taste goodbye. I'm making another "exotica" compilation tape for myself right now and at this very moment I'm taping a cut off a record by the Melachrino Strings. Need I say more? I notice nobody has taken on the thankless task of listing a bunch more names that would help define the "basic library". I guess there's always Ross's FAQ but I have no idea where he's got that stashed. I'd say pick up anything and everything that looks like it "fits" as long as it's cheap. Records by people you've never heard of, who probably never existed on cheapo labels with no information anywhere on them. Movie theme compilations NOT by the original artists. Anything with "cha cha", "goes Latin" or "a go go" on it. Obviously anything with "percussive", "bongo" or any drum-like word on it. Anything that looks fake. Obviously anything with "hi fi" or "stereo" in the title. Half of them will be crap but about a quarter of them will probably be pretty good. Your percentage should be slightly higher for the following list off the top of my head: The Three Suns, Enoch Light, Esquivel, Perez Prado, Robert Maxwell, Mancini, Lenny Dee, Montenegro, Al Caiola, Sonny Lester, Terry Snyder, Harry Breuer, Cugat, Denny, David Carroll, Dick Hyman. Anything on Command or Project 3 or Grand Award. Unless your taste has been obliterated, your pleasure-percentage should be slightly lower with: Arthur Lyman, Edmondo Ros, Les Baxter, Marty Gold, Ethel Smith, Dick Contino, Henri Rene, Russ Case, Sid Ramin, Leo Addeo and Sid Bass.... ...but I only created that category to stir up a few folks here. When you're ready to move into "now sound" and cheesy covers of "Light My Fire", get back in touch and we'll try again.

The only and considerable downside for me as a European is that an International Postal Money Order doesn't work the other way around, so a purchase in the US will remain to cost me an extra $15 for money transfer until I succeed to make myself trustworthy enough for VISA or whatever company to grant me a credit card.

In the spirit of the Kids French TV CD which seems to be of interest to many on the list, here's another obscure one that could be of interest. A recent French group called "Dragibus" has a 1996 release out on the Popo Classic/Saravah label called "Barbapoux". It is 48 short simple arrangements of tradtional kids songs from many cultures with an acid jazz twist. Unique! and really great if you like this sort of stuff. They perform regularly (as if you'd be surprised) in Japan and the Popo Classic label is in fact a Japan/France coproduction project. I've had a tape of it for some time but mysteriously we found it in the kids section of a store here while searching for the French TV release. Also in this section were the 3 Raymond Scott-Sounds for Babies discs which somone obviously didn't listen to before deciding on file classfication! I don't suspect the Dragibus is too common but it's one of the perks of living in the largest French Speaking city outside France. There was a website but it was mostly in Japanese and French. Let me know if you want to know more.
