I hauled more records out of there in the last month than in the any previous year. Hundreds for a dime, a quarter, fifty cents. It was too much. Especially now that my easy listening tastes cover just about every manifestation imaginable. Here are a few random highlights: in the category of "whodathunk?"... Roy Budd, his electric piano and orchestra play the music of Gilbert O'Sullivan in the category of "Those 101 strings can really surprise you"... 101 Strings Orchestra play Jim Webb and 101 Strings "Here come the Birds". They are a very funky bunch, that's all I can say. in the category of "soft dreary stuff can be really beautiful"... Charlie Byrd (the late) "Aquarius" The best combo of wimpy and funky I've ever heard. and Francis Lai "A Man and a Woman", not the soundtrack, just a bunch of covers like "McArthur's Park". A beautiful record, featuring that electric accordion in the category of classic Now Sound "Pet Project", the Bob Florence Big Band plays Pet Clark hits. Need I say more? Billy Vaughn "A Current Set of Standards" Amazing quasi-moog version of Rosemary's Baby among other things "The Button Down Brass featuring the funky trumpet of Ray Davies" Classic. "My World", Dieter Zimmerman. On Polydor. One of those James Lasty things that actually sounds like you always hope he'll sound like. in the category of jazzy Now Sound plus wacked-out instrumentals with occasional moments of electric sitar... The Paul Horn Quintet "Monday Monday" (featuring, of course, Bill Plummer) in a similar category but no electric sitar.. Don Randi plays Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet and finally, in the DJ-friendly category of AfroCuban Latin Now Sound... I guess you could put Willie Bobo and Mongo Santamaria in this category. The really expensive used record DJ store here, which features stuff like this and puts out Joe Cain's "Latin Explosion" for fifty bucks, would like these records: "The Now Sound of the Ray Rivera Orchestra" (on MGM's "Latino Series". "The Moods of Miami 68" Luis Varona Both great records. And la piece de resistance, because it's a record I would buy just for the title and for the cover but it turns out to be really hot... "Boogaloo in Apartment 41" Ozzie Torrens and his exciting orchestra. The kind of record that makes me want to become a DJ. I have to go and watch my favourite TV show in the world now. "Blind Date". I'll post the more loungey highlights later. I bet you can't wait.

He was 59. Higgs died at his Los Angeles home Saturday night, the Los Angeles Times reported. Known as the father of reggae music, Higgs spent years instructing a young Marley in Kingston, Jamaica. The late Marley later credited Higgs for his international success. Higgs also worked with other reggae artists, including Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, Bob Andy, Derrick Harriot, and the Wailing Souls. Higgs moved to Los Angeles 15 years ago because his music about the plight of the poor in his homeland was frowned upon by the ruling political party. He continued to tour and work with American reggae musicians until his death. Higgs is survived by 12 children. http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?UID=9:54:12|AM&p=amg&sql=B2892 - ------------ *Marion Worth NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Marion Worth, who had hit country music records in the early 1960s, died of emphysema Sunday. She was 64. Worth, a native of Birmingham, Ala., was known as ``Lady Marion'' for her dignified bearing and soft, melodic voice. ``She was the Patti Page of country music,'' said her friend Jean Shepard, a fellow singer on the Grand Ole Opry radio show. Worth's biggest hit was ``That's My Kind of Love,'' in 1960. After it reached No. 5, she followed it up with the No. 7 hit ``I Think I Know.'' Born Mary Ann Ward, she got her start by winning a Birmingham talent contest. That led to a show on WVOK Radio. She joined the cast of the Grand Ole Opry radio show in 1963 and stayed on until the mid-1970s. Worth's other hits include ``Shake Me I Rattle (Squeeze Me I Cry)'' and ``Slipping Around,'' a duet with George Morgan. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) - ``Lady'' Marion Worth, sultry ballad singer on the Grand Ole Opry for 17 years, died Sunday at Tennessee Christian Medical Center of complications from emphysema, her daughter Joyce said on Monday. Worth, one of the first country music performers to appear at Carnegie Hall, was 64. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, she learned piano from her father but later took up guitar. After working for a time as a bookkeeper for a recording company, she launched her music career with her own radio show. During the 1950s she was one of several female singers, including Loretta Lynn and Kitty Wells, who broke down the tradition of using women only as background singers in country music. The petite singer performed on the Opry from 1963 until her retirement in 1980. Her recordings for Columbia and Decca Records included her top hit ``Shake Me, I Rattle'' which crossed over into pop and became a Christmas song, ``Crazy Arms'', ``Are You Willing, Willie'', ``A Woman Needs Love'' and ``Mama Says''. http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?UID=9:58:26|AM&p=amg&sql=B194379 - --------- Val Pringle who wrote songs for Harry Belafonte, performed with Eartha Kitt and acted in "Ragtime'' and other movies.

Believe it not, found this story on the MTV website! http://www.mtv.com/news/headlines/991221/story4.html Kevin Crossman Exotica Queen Yma Sumac Returns On New Compilation, Plans Tour Yma Sumac Lounge enthusiasts with an ear for the bizarre who find themselves with some extra cash after the holidays my want to keep an eye out for a new 21-track collection from exotica queen Yma Sumac. The diva (whose five-octave range reached a new generation of fans on Capitol Records' recent "Ultra Lounge" series) will see the release of "The Ultimate Yma Sumac Collection" on January 11, and is also planning to tour in support of the album. In addition to some of Sumac's best known (and most off-beat) tracks, the collection will also carry three previously unreleased tunes: "Negrito Filomino," "Huayno" and "Inca Waltz." Sumac lore holds that the singer hails from Ichocan, Peru (high in the Andes mountains) and was brought to the U.S. by musicologist Moises Vivanco. While the singer claimed her given name was Ziola Augusta Emperatriz Chavarri del Castillo and that she was a direct descendent of Incan emperor Athualpa, others maintain that Sumac is actually Brooklyn's Amy Camus. Regardless of this murky background (or perhaps because of it), Sumac hooked up with Capitol Records and turned her blend of traditional South American songs and cocktail sounds into a string of successful albums in the '50s. Sumac ranked with that era's giants of exotica like Les Baxter and Martin Denny, but slipped from favor after the '50s drew to a close. With the retro-lounge movement of the mid-to-late '90s, Sumac gained new commercial life when Capitol released the "Ultra Lounge" series as well as a number of her classic titles including "Voice Of Xtabay," "Mambo," and "Legend Of The Sun Virgin." -- Robert Mancini # 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: Tue, 21 Dec 1999 19:18:15 +0100 From: Marco \"Kallie\" Kalnenek Subject: Re: (exotica) Les McCann Ltd.

He was 98. The LCI channel quoted members of Bresson's family as saying the director died Saturday. No cause of death was given. Often using untrained actors coached to speak in flat monotones, Bresson believed the most poignant stories defied words and were best told with images. Critics said Bresson played a unique role in the development of French cinema. A man who defied categorization, he was the ultimate loner, belonging to no particular school of cinematography. In ``Pickpocket,'' (1959) widely regarded as his most brilliant film, Bresson pared down the compulsive art of lifting wallets to its barest psychological elements. Coinciding with the budding New Wave cinema, the film became a reference for the generation of young filmmakers spearheaded by Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. In ``La Femme Douce'' (1969), starring the 19-year-old Dominique Sanda in her first screen role, Bresson painted an ironic tale of obsessive love. Using flashbacks, he allowed the viewer to unravel the mystery of the opening scene: a young woman who throws herself off a building. Bresson also was interested in extreme, real-life situations. ``A Man Escaped,'' which won Bresson the best director award at the 1957 Cannes Film Festival, was based on the true story of a French Resistance fighter who escaped from the Gestapo's Fort Montluc prison in Lyon. Born on Sept. 25, 1901, in Bromont-Lamothe, the son of a military officer, Bresson first studied to become a painter. He made his first film in 1934, ``Affaires Publiques'' (Public Affairs), based on three days in the life of an imaginary dictator. During World War II, Bresson spent a year in a German prisoner of war camp. He returned home in 1943 to make ``Les Anges du Peche'' (The Angels of Sin) and ``Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne'' (Ladies of the Bois de Boulogne) in 1945. Bresson was known as a quiet, solitary, even secretive man. Critics said the turning point of his career came in 1951 with the film adaptation of the Georges Bernanos classic ``Journal d'un Cure de Campagne'' (Diary of a Country Priest), the story of an ailing priest who tries, unsuccessfully, to connect spiritually with his parishioners. Bresson's final work, ``L'Argent'' (Money) was based on a short story by Leo Tolstoy. It won the Grand Prix du Cinema de Creation in Cannes in 1983. Comparing it to a Greek tragedy, critics said it expressed Bresson's dismal vision of a society in which appearances count more than values. The film also won a major New York film critics' award in 1984. Bresson was married twice. Details on funeral arrangements and survivors were not immediately clear. http://filmsound.studienet.org/articles/bresson.htm http://us.imdb.com/Name?Bresson,+Robert http://www.nyfavideo.com/content/cat-BRESSON.htm http://www.6degrees.co.uk/features/mag_art115.htm http://www.2questers.simplenet.com/BRESSON.html # 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: Tue, 21 Dec 1999 18:45:23 -0800 (PST) From: Fish Wich Subject: Re: (exotica) Yma Sumac news!

The producer claimed that his health was weakened by the 1994 earthquake and lengthy litigation with his insurance company over repairs to his home. In 1997, Superior Court jurors awarded $5.4 million to Meyer and his wife, Doris. In addition to his ``Dragnet'' TV production company Mark VII, Meyer was chairman of Filmaster Ltd., which helped produce such popular early series as ``Pete Kelly's Blues,'' ``Gunsmoke'' and ``Have Gun Will Travel.'' - -=-=- C O P Y R I G H T * R E M I N D E R This article is Copyright 1999 by The Associated Press. # 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, 22 Dec 1999 09:37:37 -0500 From: "Nathan Miner" Subject: (exotica) MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Its been awhile for me but finally in 1999 along comes " El Christmas: The World In Winter" El records is associated with the wonderful and mysterious Mike Alway who goes under various names when making his music, ( ex: " Fantastic Everlasting Gobstopper") This album also includes contributions from Louis Phiilippe whose teamed up with Mike Alway on other great collections on the Siesta label and Momus. These are three major leaders in the modern soft indie pop scene. The album consists of 16 songs, 14 new compositions and marverlous remake of "Goodnight" It has, what I consider are some modern day Christmas classics. The style ranges from Beach Boy influenced, to girl group sound, to sunshine pop (theres a remake of the Cowsills' Rain the Park and Other Things". Its a surprise to hear a 64 styled girl group song on here. Don't get me wrong though its not produced like Phil Spector or written by the great Brill Building writers. One of the songs starts off with seagull sounds and I was hoping for a Shadow Morton Shangrilas adventure but got a more Bananarama sound Theres a guitar sound on one of the songs straight from 65. One of the Louis Phillipe songs, "The Thirteenth Day Of Christmas" is up to his high standards and is extremely well written in a mid 60s style with his stamp all over it. The album is generally solid but there are some week and obnoxious cuts. Generally it has a little more of a 60s stamp than Mike Alway and Louis Philippe usually have. However some of the songs really are classics. One song that desrves special mention is "Psychedlic Christmas" a late 60's style romp that is sure to get airplay on college radio. On a similiar vein comes a newly written Christmas cd single, "Lonely Christmas" by Jonnny Diamond, (Easy Tune 1995) produced by Arling & Cameron. This is a beautiful and sad Christmas song sung softly and beautifully by Jonny Diamond, who I don't know anything about. Also worth mentioning, though only a few songs would appeal to members of these lists, is a V/A compilation put together by L A DJ Rodney Bingenheimer on Dionysus Records called " Santa's Got A GTO" For me the best song is the Ramona's title cut. A little modern punk on top of a great 60's melody. Generally the album is power pop but the Wondermints turn in a great version of "Ski Party" (which I enjoyed watching on AMC last Sat night). I Wish You All a Jolly Jolly Christmas Filled With Music Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck np The Retro Coctail Hour's Christmas Show in real audio Also I understand there was a Van Dyke Parks concert in London and Tobias and others were there. Any reviews are welcome, thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!

I have no idea what this is Nathan but in the same vein I would like to mention a version of "White Christmas" by Plunderphonics available on a Johan da da Vis Christmas collection cd. Its all slowed down/speeded up and distorted and phased, sometimes totally beyond recognition. I wouldn't play this song in the dark. I highly recommend Johans Christmas cds. They are fantastic! A really wild ride! On a similiar note, Ron Grandia put together 2 Christmas cds to die for. Really missed the new comps from both of them this year, but its great to have these 4 cds to play this Christmas.

Just seeing her name in silver letters on a purple Captiol label gave me goose bumps. This is a 78, Bas-Sheva (they used a dash) with the Harold Mooney Orchestra doing "Caravan" backed with "My Mother's Lullaby". She sings and also moans and groans like she does on "The Passions". Any leads on more of her recordings?

It's a fan-feckkin'tastic comp CD called "Christmas Party with Eddie G" Eddie was a writer for SNL...Maybe Lettermand too... dunno.. anyway he made these crazy mix-tapes for a few years, and it blossomed into a real-live comp complete with "tween" bits that he wrote and recorded with Billy West (Voice of Stimpy and a bajillion other toons) West does a haunting Larry Fine on this CD, and the voice of Moe and the low-self-esteem Curly Joe Besser are not to believed! A few VERY mean Jokes about dead stooges are thrown in for good measure. (Just the name "Shemp" sends me into paroxysms of glee.) Music's TOPS, too. A must have.
