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!?

For instance, Mr.Spock's Music From Outer Space by Leonard Nimoy. I bought it for 25 cents in top condition. I sold it soon afterward for the same because the music was "so dumb." Cool cover, though. Now, I think I would enjoy the kitsch value of the music and would still enjoy the cover...alas I won't find a copy in such good shape for 25 cents I guarantee it!

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. I remember reading that the same name could be used but the person who released their version last would not have in listed in the charts.

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.
