From: "Doug Dale" Subject: (exotica) Space, Powell, Danger Date: 01 Nov 2001 10:37:48 -0800 I was wondering if anybody knows if the "Harry Revel's Music from Out of Space" by Stuart Phillips is worth searching for. I see it on e-bay again, this time from Jack Diamond, only with a reserve not met (usually means a high asking price). It tends to go for a lot of $'s. I heard it was only so-so, but I like Harry's other space stuff. Also some of my favorite songs are Stu's on the great soundtrack he did with Leith Stevens "The Interns". I can't imagine that "Out of Space" can be only okay. Anybody know? Also as long as I have your ear- or eye since you're reading this -, anyone heard the "Dick Powell Presents Themes from Four Star Television Shows"? I read it's conducted by Herschel Burke Gilbert of "Burke's Law" fame and has tunes composed by Gilbert, Leith Stevens, Jerry Goldsmith and others. It sounds neat. My last record on my wish list is Tony Mottola's "Danger" TV Soundtrack. I've heard the title tune on Man From O.R.G.A.N. and also on Mottola's Mr. Big. Do I have all that I need or is this 10" worth the search too.

Mostly mushy strings, with only nominally novel/spacey arrangements: similar in sound and feel to a lot of those early to mid-50's Decca LP's in their "Mood Music" series.

The last track, a skewed sounding bossa, was subsequently used as the backing for Bebel Gilberto's recording of 'Samba de Bencao' from 'A man and a woman'. Sorry, I'm using too many quotation marks today. On the topic of Beatles cover albums, I've mentioned it before, but Ramsey Lewis's White album tribute, 'Mother Nature's Son', is quite awe-inspiringly brilliant - beautifully orchestrated instrumental pop/jazz cover versions. A few tracks of it are available as bonus cuts on the 'Maiden Voyage' CD, but I highly recommend tracking the LP down. It can normally be had for a bargain $5 to $10 on ebay. cheers Jonny ps.

Yes, they can be a little over-enthusiastic in their descriptions sometimes, but you can often check out sound samples on other sites (the labels, CDNow, etc) or ask others on this list, and then buy from Dusty Groove! cheryl > Whoever writes up the pitches at Dusty Grooves has is down too - they make > > everything sound so groovy, funky, incredible, blah blah blah.

The study by Cambridge University examined how loud music strengthens the harmful effects of methamphetamine, the drug commonly known as speed. Wendy Higgins of the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, said: "These sick experiments are absolutely despicable. Just because people choose to take drugs and go to raves doesn't justify subjecting animals to suffering and death in a laboratory." The scientists, who used a total of 238 mice in the experiment, concluded that loud music strengthened the toxic effects of methamphetamine in animals. http://www.thisislondon.com/dynamic/news/story.html?in_review_id=470967&in_review_text_id=424979 # 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: RE: (exotica) Favela Chic Date: 02 Nov 2001 16:12:45 -0000 Rant away, seems fitting considering the mentions of Jack Diamond.

He was 63. Kershaw, who was born in Louisiana Feb. 2, 1938, joined his brothers Doug and Nelson ("Pee Wee") in 1948 to form the Cajun band Pee Wee Kershaw & The Continental Playboys. He was the group’s guitarist. From 1953 to 1955, the Kershaws performed on KPLC-TV in Lake Charles, La. They also began appearing on the Louisiana Hayride in 1955 but moved the following year to become members of the Wheeling Jamboree on radio station WWVA in Wheeling, W. Va. Rusty Kershaw’s first record with Doug was "No, No It’s Not So," recorded in the early ‘50s for Feature Records in Crowley, La. Now performing as Rusty & Doug, the brothers came to Nashville and signed with Hickory Records, an Acuff-Rose affiliate. Their first single on Hickory, "So Lovely Baby," was released in 1955 and went to No. 14 on the country charts. For their follow-up two years later, they did a cover of Jill Corey’s 1957 pop hit, "Love Me to Pieces." It too reached No. 14. Rusty & Doug joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1957. Over the next three years, the Kershaws charted three more singles for Hickory, the highest one being "Louisiana Man," which went to No. 10. The duo signed to RCA Records in 1963. The next year, however, Rusty left the duo. Continuing to record and perform on his own, Kershaw released the album Cajun in the Blues Country (which featured Charlie Daniels on fiddle) on Cotillion Records in 1970. He figured prominently in Neil Young’s 1974 album, On the Beach, playing fiddle and slide guitar and also providing the liner notes. Young later returned the favor by performing on eight tracks of Kershaw’s Big Easy Award-winning 1992 album, Now and Then, on Domino Records. Also playing on that album were Art Neville and Ben Keith. Kershaw’s wife, Julie, told country.com that her husband remained active in music until his sudden and unexpected death. She said he played his last show Sunday in New Orleans. Rusty Kershaw’s other survivors include a son, Troy, and a daughter, Sherry. Funeral arrangements are incomplete. # 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: thinkmatic@att.net Subject: (exotica) The MP3 Library Date: 02 Nov 2001 18:51:33 +0000 I'm working on updating the listing for my mp3 lending library.

Newton, teen pop starlet Jessica Simpson, country singer Neal McCoy and comedian Rob Schneider leave Nov. 12 for a weeklong Thanksgiving tour of overseas posts, some of which house troops involved in the U.S. bombing of terrorist targets in Afghanistan. The entertainers will perform in Budapest and Kosovo, and also on an aircraft carrier that United Service Organization officials would not identify, citing security concerns. Bob Hope, 98, was the USO celebrity frontman for almost all of its 60 years. In October, Newton, 59, was named to take over organizing the USO's circle of entertainers. At Friday's East Room ceremony, Newton said his new posting would be his legacy. ``When the history is finally written about me it might say a lot of things -- and it may be just, or it may not be kind -- but it will have to admit that I loved my country beyond all else and stood up when it counted,'' Newton said in a speech twice as long as the president's. Bush told Newton that, as he and his team make the rounds, they will find ``young men and women of the highest caliber, ... some of whom will be facing extreme danger in the months to come, all of whom are proud to serve.'' ``For our troops abroad, the USO's touch of home will mean even more as we head toward Thanksgiving and, eventually, the holiday seasons of the winter,'' Bush said. ``And you can tell them they are greatly needed where they are, and they're greatly missed back home.

SH Hits The Modern Stone Age/Mexican/Exotica Jackpot? That's right! Keep your eyes peeled later this year for the Cartoon Network's full-length animated TV movie Flintstones On The Rocks, which finds the Flintstone's and Rubble's vacationing in Mexico and features a new version of the theme arranged and conducted by SH (and featuring Chris "Let's Dance" Montez, Jennell Hawkins, and Guy Pohlman -- the voice of Charlie Brown in "Snoopy Come Home" -- on vocals). Here's a snap of SH and Montez hanging out between takes. This classy flick also features SH's new versions of "Rise & Shine" (the show's original theme), one of which is exotica (all that hangin' around with Baxter'n'Sumac rubbed off on the boy), the other of which is a ranchera (Mexican polka). Plus, he did a George Shearing style version of the theme as well. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Meanwhile, over on the Cartoon Network schedule ( http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/schedule/ ) I see that the movie itself is listed tonight at 7:00pm (eastern). --M.Ace # 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: azed@pathcom.com Subject: Re: (exotica) The Mp3 library Date: 03 Nov 2001 14:53:21 -0500 At 05:04 PM 11/3/01 +0000, thinkmatic@att.net wrote: > >I got motivated last night and dug through all the other >mp3s I have and I came up with another 160 albums worth >of stuff.

Date: 03 Nov 2001 13:45:47 -0800 (PST) Hello everyone- As there are undoubtedly a large number of tiki fans of all kinds lurking out there, I was wondering if anyone would be willing and able to help me with a little project. As part of my graduate studies at the University of Oregon, I'm working on a study of tiki culture and its participants, both from the "golden age" of tiki and more its more contemporary incarnations. To this end, I'm collecting personal narratives about how, why, and when people first became involved in the world of tiki and exotica culture, as well as how they participate. I invite all interested parties to respond to the following question: "Describe how, why, and when you became involved in Tiki or Exotica culture. Please detail how you participate (collecting memorabilia, frequenting tiki-themed establishments, listening to or performing music, mixing/enjoying tiki drinks, etc.), as well as any opinions you may have regarding current renewed interest in this cultural phenomena." Please respond as truthfully and in as much detail as possible to tikielvis@yahoo.com All responses will be kept confidential, with no names attached to any and all narratives that may be used in this study. I will try to make the completed version of the paper available to members of this list, if desired. Thanks to all for your time and consideration!!! sincerely, Kurt Doles __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Also recently enjoyed blonde bombshell Joi Lansing (as Gladys Flatt - yeah right) singin along with Flatt & Scruggs on the recent TVLand Beverly Hillbillies marathon. IMPORTANT NOTICE: After a 3 1/2 year wait, Turner Classic Movies is repeating Bop Girl Goes Calypso with score by Les Baxter. Date is Nov 11(late Sat/early Sun 3am eastern). Music by the Mary Kaye Trio, Nino Tempo, Lord Flea, and the Goofers, who feature a trombonist on a trapeze. Special appearance by Julie London hubby Bobby Troup as a noise meter techie, whose scientific research on crowd reaction in a nightclub provides evidence that Bop music is being overtaken by Calypso music.

Their "anything goes" attitudes towards pot, group sex and lesbianism lead to several sticky plot complications, culminating in a murder spree. Bearing absolutely no relation to the Jacqueline Susann novel/film Valley of the Dolls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was co-scripted by film critic ROGER EBERT. This soundtrack is quite rare and the movie has developed a huge cult following. I guarantee you, our dear Astroslut, Jane Fondle would give it a very enthusiastic thumbs up. :) Of the twelve tracks, there are only two instrumentals and the soft main theme by The Sandpipers which pretty much appears twice. The rest is rock vocals by the Carrie Nations and Strawberry Alarm Clock, which may result in a letdown for some.

Former listee Jack Fetterman, whose efforts towards a more exotic world know no boundaries, served as my host. A small museum near his home has some emotion-tapping photos of 9.11. And, the celebration of the marriage of Ursula1000 to his lovely betrothed in Midtown Manhattan served as the backdrop to this visit. Challenging the Naysayers was the spirit of the celebration which was officiated by our own Brother Cleve, handpicked by the lovely--believe that!-- couple as an ordained minister. With entertainment by the Lounge-O-Leers (who's EZ take on Destiny Child's "I'm A Survivor" somehow took on a mystical quality) and several DJ's who's competition for the turntables was civilized, though fraught with peril, an exotic night to remember was had by all IMHO. Then---walking up to Footlight Recordsthe next morning---"and the sign said" ""EZ listening-75% Off"". How often do you even see EZ referred to, let alone at 75% off?

In spite of that I don't think having this has changed my enjoyment of Mr Scruff, the two although the same are quite different dynamically. From the sleevnotes it seems that Moondog composed and conducted all the pieces himself. With a couple of exceptions the LP is Orchestral (classical even), Lament #1 has the alto clarinet lead (and is based on Moondogs meeting Charlie Parker) and a rhythm track played by Moondog and part of one of the longer pieces which has a similar groove. The sleevenotes are very interesting, a brief history of moondogs life (omitting the fact he was living on the street when he recorded the LP) and a bit of background for each track. And a lot of stressing the musical conventionality of the pieces. Parts of it reminded me of Honeggers piece 'Pacific 1-2-3' that I had on a Dada LP, but then I'm not too hot on classical music anyway. Very good Sunday morning music I found.

Can anyone recommend any other Moondog albums? I know his name has come up before, a long time ago I think.

A pretty good 12, very much in the DJ You DJ Me mode (the Anubian Lights seem to have production links to them and Sukia), and Theresa a DJ You DJ Me remix of one track. Some nice Sitars and some nice groovy bass. Fairly mainstream in the modern Loungecore style. Or whatever you want to call it. Worth having. I went up visiting the big city and inherited some records thrown out by someone's mother. Not that much of interest, but there were some things of note. Count Basie Orchestra plays songs from Half a Sixpence. I really didn't have any hopes of this. At all. Jazz versions of Tommy Steele songs, lord preserve us. Especially as my friend said 'Are you sure? its real trad Jazz.' Well, thankfully he's not too strong on his Jazz Genres. This is pretty good, swinging, superior big band Jazz, as you'd expect from Basie, I'd suppose. This is the first LP I have of his. One of the soloists is Illinois Jacquet, who I can remember my Jazz buff friends revering. On Contour records licensed from Dot. Also on Contour from Dot I have Billy Vaughn (is it Billy? I'm sure it is, the Vaughn is right, as I remember checking it as it looked funny) 'La Paloma'. I'm not sure if this is absolute genius or completely dire, absolutely the most cheesily cheerful LP in my collection. Nice looking girl in a bikini next to a palm tree on the cover, lots of up tempo instrumental covers on the record. Not one for Alan I reckon. A bit of guitar twang on one of the tracks, but not much more, nothing at all about it sticks in my memory apart from the mood. Quite, quite bizarre. Also an LP of film themes by the Cinematic Orchestra. The usual suspects really, 'When a man loves a woman', Laras theme'. Quite well done, and a couple that I don't have, so its a keeper, but not necessarily a player. Theres a couple of others that I haven't played, that include a Bing Crosby live in London double set. It has Ted Rogers on a couple of tracks. The presence of Ted Rogers disturbs me. And I can't bring myself to play it, because of that fact. But at the same time I can't dispose of it without listening to it. I want to listen to it but I can't. I have a vague recollection of Ted Rogers having been a singer a long while ago, but I can't shake the image of cheesy gameshow host. Its not good. The sleeve even has pictures of him and Bing on stage. Big seventies microphones, big shiny seventies black suit, big seventies collar. Bad Tom Jones hair. Its a morbid fascination I'm developing. I'm almost sure the whole thing will turn out to be dreadfully dull, most of the things I'd be interested in have been dragged into medleys. Theres a version of 'Send in the clowns'. Thats enough rambling, sorry.

Date: 05 Nov 2001 10:51:03 -0500 On a beautiful Sunday morning strolling around a huge outdoor flea market = there was a guy with box after box after box of records - and much to my = girlfriend's chagrin I rolled up my sleeves and dove into the vinyl. At first I was put off because I spied Les Baxter's Tamboo out in front = with a bag on it - checked out the vinyl and it was just "ok." I asked = the guy how much the records were and he said, "Anywhere from a dollar and = up" - so that *really* made me skeptical. But, after passing up the = Tamboo (I had a better copy) I found Taboo 2 by Lyman (again in a bag) and = the vinyl was in great shape, then along comes some Heino(!) records. =20 Now this is the first time I've seen "the man/the legend" and just had to = laugh out loud. Here was the splitting image of Andy Warhol with dyed = white hair and an all-silver suit glaring back at me! Whoa. I almost = took a chance but decided to skip over the three Heino albums in there.=20 So I started thinking to myself, this looks like an exotica list members = collection!! And I started to get that feeling that I'm sure you can = connet with when you just know this is going to be a good selection of = vinyl woth flipping through. Then there was Truck Turner (I passed this 2 = LP set up - any good??).=20 I did find a few LP's - I found that great (well, the first LP anyway) 2 = record boxed set "Songs to keep your husband happy" with "How to Bellydance= ..." and "How to Strip...." records and what I had hoped was a copy of the = instruction booklet - but alas, it wasn't inside (dammit!!). The = bellydancing album I had on CD courtesy of someone on this list - and it = is *GREAT* but I have a feeling the "strip" album is probably your = standard ragtime/strip music. I forget the band leader's name - is it = Sonny Lester? So anyway, the Taboo 2 was $5, the box set was $2, and all the other = records were 50 cents (Leis of Jazz, some great Bond rip-off LP's with = groups like the "zero zero seven band," a Dean Martin spy album "The = Silencers" ) listened to this one this morning - disappointing, but great = cover of a round bed and several beauties lounging with Dean.......so I = made out okay - his prices were all over and had NO pattern at all. The best and most surprising find was a copy of Robert Drasnin's "VooDoo" = - I didn't even realize what it was until I got it home. The cover is = incredibly cheesy - with a "staged inside set type shot" of a dark jungle = with two natives banging on drums and a gal doing a wild jungle dance. = The liner notes are really weird and mention something about being shocked = to find a voodoo doll with pins in it in your bed after listening to the = album!!! I also found a great "space" themed cover - can't recall the composer. = It's a guy flying through space on a Vespa scooter that has a trumpet = attached to the side as though it were a rocket powering the scooter = through space. The rider is dressed up in a tux and holding a french horn = or such brass instrument to his chest. Dean Elliott perhaps? Another seller had some older Venture's albums and would only sell me the = LP's at 50 cents each *if* I could round out the purchase to $6 (an = additional two LP's) or else he said they'd be $1 each!(?). Got an X. = Cugat (a close-up of his face, red background - single title like = "Fabulous" or something like that), a "Four Pianos Play the Hits" type LP = (a desperation purchase to round out the albums) and Mexicali Brass play = Green Hornet and other hits with a neat-o cover of said Hornet holding his = gal and pointing a handgun straight at you.=20 This seemed to be the weekend of the low budget spy LP's! A fun record hunting day! I actually had to pass up another huge boxfuls = of LP's a few rows down due to the time and an exasperated girlfriend. = (Although she DID have fun browsing through a HUGE box of the early = newspaper format SCREW magazines for sale - they were $5 a pop or 100+ for = the whole box while I flipped through records!!) - Nate # 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: Clayton Black Subject: Re: (exotica) Weekend Finds..... Date: 05 Nov 2001 11:44:03 -0500 Wow! Great haul Nate! The Sonny Lester "How to Bellydance" album IS great. I found a fairly scratchy copy myself not long ago, but the sound quality during the songs is acceptable (it's just between the songs that I wince). Darrell plays a couple of numbers from that album pretty frequently on his show as well as from one of your other great finds, Drasnin's VooDoo. I have only heard this thanks to DB, but I would consider myself extremely lucky to find a copy that didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I'm sorry to hear that your girlfriend gets exasperated with your record searches. Even though my wife doesn't much care for my exotica tastes, I feel extraordinarily lucky that she actually encourages my habit and, to beat all, she actually wants to put album covers as art up in the new room that we've added. At the moment the walls are white, and I've suggested some of the Command covers. I know others have wallpapered with HA's Whipped Cream. Any tips on things to avoid in the process? The room gets a lot of light, so I'm worried about fading. Anyway, sorry to get off topic. Keep letting us know about your finds. It keeps the fire of hope alive.

What a pile of files! Sounds like a job for a filesharing program. I really miss Napster - the user base was so large that I could find a LOT of really groovy stuff, and there were a lot of very appreciative and cool users who would email and thank me for the stuff I had available for share - which was a mish-mash of my stuff and all the things my 15 year-old Nephew would download. You will be pleased to learn that Andre Popp was just downloaded from me just as often as Limp Bizkit. Perhaps if there was a robust sharing system that permitted user-searches, we could all agree to share there. Has there been any coordination on the list in this regard?

So make that hard-to-find. Until last week, I had never held a copy in my hands - and I collect soundtracks. It does book $100-$150. Bidding history on ebay when it does show up supports this.

My wife let me go to the WFMU fair on Sunday even though we're low on money. She's not into this kind of music either but let's me have my fun. Met Tony Wilds of http://www.wildsscene.com/wsounds Talked a bunch about stuff I'd had questions about being any good like Chiano. Always assumed it was just percussion and chants without very good music. He said it's real hollywood stuff and great liner notes on the CD out there if you can find it. He has a great story. Have to keep my eye out. Tony sold me in his $3 bin: Three Suns "A Swingin' Thing" and Mel Henke's "Now Spin This!" He gave them both to me for $5, he used to be on this list. He had Les Baxter's "The Primitive & the Passionate" for $35. I said, "Too much for me, maybe I'll come back later and talk you down". I did. He said it is the last of the great Les Baxter exotica albums. I listened to it. It truly is. Highly recomend it. Found two Elmer Bernstein albums: Movie & TV Themes (from $5 talked down to $3): Excellent album. As good of crime jazz as they come. A Man & his Movies (from $10 talked down to $5): : Pretty much the same cuts but with 4 more. This one is in stereo but the identical cuts from Movie & TV Themes aren't in stereo. I've heard the Stereo Movie & TV Themes from a public library and it's true stereo. Get the Movie & TV Themes iffen you can find it. Leo Diamond's Stereo "Exciting Sounds from Romantic Places" (for $1). Guy who sold it said, "Another record for the cover, eh?" I said no, for the music." It's really good. Multichannel overdubbing of many types of harmonicas. Got that "Sea Diver's Suite" feel but in a stereo actiony way. And now the cream de la crop. Tony Mottola's TV Soundtrack to Danger!!! The guy didn't know what it was but said "I bet it's worth a lot" "How much?", I asked. "$15, maybe?", he said. Always one to talk someone down even if it's a good price, I said, "I'll give you ten." He said, "I better look it up in my book." I almost said I'll take it for the $15 (remembering it was worth a lot in my book) when I saw he had a Goldmine album Price guide but not the soundtrack guide. I held off. It wasn't in his book. He said "How about $11?" I took it. When I got home and looked it up, I found it worth $75-100. Whew! It's good too. Great Mottola guitar with the Ray Charles Singers doing wordless vocals, simular to the Walter Schumann vocals on Exploring the Unknown. That's all. Sorry for the long letter.

Scored a Sir Julian (organ in orbit, I think) in stereo for $5. Talked to Tony Wilds also for a bit. His prices seem to be coming down a bit (like from $150 to $75, say), must reflect current supply and demand, post 9/11 market etc. BTW he has an excellent site which you should check out if you haven't, wildsscene.com, a good roundup of various genres and titles to look out for. Later I got a jones to hunt for cheezy 80s synthpop singles. (with picture sleeve of course, otherwise why bother). Looked thru some unindexed bargain bins. Did find a copy of Heaven 17 'Penthouse and Pavement' for $3 but passed it up cause there was a small hole in the center of the pic. pg # 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: "cheryl" Subject: Re: (exotica) Weekend Finds.....

Evidently, the syndicated episodes of the tv show 'WKRP in Cincinnati' have had many of the original songs altered or changed from the original versions. This was done mainly to save money, as the syndication company no longer wished to pay the royalties for the original songs. Even some of the original generic background 'stock' music was changed, even though no royalties were ever paid out for those songs. They replaced that 'stock' music with a newer version of generic 'stock' music, just to make sure that nothing illegal was getting through. Then, because the music was changed, they had to overdub various actors voices, so they would no longer refer to the original songs. In once case, the D.J. Venus Flytrap refers to 'The Swords' instead of 'The Doors' Some episodes where the characters spoke out actual song lyrics had those sections altered and changed also. Its a quite fascinating look into the world of music and royalties and television reruns.

I agree with Moondog's music sounding "exotica" without actually being labelled "exotica". Another non exotica Exotica album I would recommend is Harry Partch's "The Bewitched", or many of his records, but Bewitched stands out in my mind. He used many homemade instruments that have an exotic quality to them, many sound like Boom Bams, claves and other "exotica" type percussive instruments. Plus lots of wordless female Yma Sumac style "HEE-YAA!s" and yelps. If you like Yma Sumac's "Legend of Jivaro", you will love Partch. Granted his music is a bit more dramatic and over the top than say Martin Denny or Sumac, but to me sits along side my Baxter, Lyman, Sumac and Denny in my exotica collection.

 

any other non "exotica" exotica albums that anyone else can recommend??

While this is indeed sad news, yes, I knew that he passed away. Johnny Carson, when he recalled Moondog standing outside his house also mentioned erroneously that he had died. Hardin mentioned the false death rumors in the NPR interview that I had taped when he was publicizing "Sax Pax For a Sax", which was released in 1997, two years before his death, which makes their interviewing technique not so novel. By the way, he was leading the orchestras playing his music via a bass drum and someone (maybe Elvis Costello?) had noted that he performed with great vigor and drummed all the way through his concerts, which isn't bad if you are in your eighties! I posted out about him in April, in response to a post by Sean Pearman. Lou Smith posted his obituary on September 15th. Since the post that I was responding to was about his music and not his passing, I left all of that stuff out. I apologize for confusing anyone.

He was 66. A nursing supervisor at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene, Oregon, said Kesey ``passed away peacefully in his sleep'' with his family at his side. He suffered from liver cancer, a condition complicated by diabetes and a minor stroke he suffered four years ago. Kesey won fame as both an exuberant pop impresario who helped launch the consciousness-bending Age of Aquarius and a serious novelist, whose early work won critical acclaim and cast the struggle against conformity in heroic terms for a generation of readers rebelling against the rigidity of the Eisenhower Era. In a legendary 1964 trip, Kesey set off across the United States in a psychedelic painted tour bus called ``Furthur'' throwing parties featuring LSD and holding court over a group called ``The Merry Pranksters,'' whose exploits became the basis for Tom Wolfe's 1968 book ``The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.'' =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The show business community in general and the Side Show business in= particular has lost one of the greatest.

He was living in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, and had been ill for some time, a family friend said. Boulting, with his late twin brother, John, made some of the most famous films in British cinema between the 1940s and the 1970s. He was also the father of rock star Crispian Mills, who found fame with the band Kula Shaker. The international film industry owes a debt to the Boulting brothers, with films such as Brighton Rock and Lucky Jim on their roster. Brighton Rock launched Sir Richard Attenborough's acting career, and I'm All Right, Jack propelled comic actor Peter Sellers to stardom. The brothers set up their production company, Charter Films, in 1937. They would go on to vary the roles of director and producer, often contributing to the screenplays they used. Their big breakthrough came with their third film, Pastor Hall, in 1940. It was based on the arrest and death of Pastor Niem=F6ller at the hands of= the Nazis. During World War II, Boulting also won acclaim for his war documentaries - notably the Oscar-winning Desert Victory: Battle of El Alamein. In the 1950s, the reunited brothers produced a series of films satirising British institutions. Boulting satires : Private's Progress Carleton-Browne of the FO Heavens Above! Brothers in Law I'm All Right, Jack followed. The film was boycotted by trade unionists stung by Peter Sellers's portrayal of a communist shop steward. The Boultings went on to adapt Kingsley Amis's hugely successful comic novel Lucky Jim. Roy Boulting married five times, the fourth time, in 1971, to actress Hayley Mills after they began an affair in 1966 during filming of The Family Way. The relationship made the 54-year-old notorious as Mills, the star of Disney films including Pollyanna, was 20 years old at the time. The marriage produced Crispian Mills, who was estranged from his father for many years. The pair were reportedly reconciled towards the end of Boulting's life. Boulting continued to work with his twin brother John until his death in 1985. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Reuters reports the death in his London home of a heart attack of playwright Anthony Shaffer at the age of 75.

Moondog was an original. Speaking of Moondog, I found this record by someone named Kenny Graham and His Satellites called "The Moondog and Suncat Suites". I can't tell exactly when it was made, but it appears to be from the late 50's. . Side one is Kenny Graham's group doing instrumental compositions by Moondog and very nicely, too. According to the liner notes, Kenny Graham has re-arranged the Moondog material, but the overall feel is that of authentic Moondog. Side two, Suncat Suite, is a Kenny Graham composition, "inspired by the techniques of Moondog". This side sounds a little less like Moondog to me but is definitely cool and definitely enters the territory of "exotica" on a few tracks. The Moondog feel is definitely captured on "Sunstroke" -- complete with repeating percussion riffs, stream of consciousness and street-induced paranoia. A whistling solo, too. Beautiful! There no info about the musicians except for Kenny Graham, a British sax player and jazz composer.

Thank you my son for remembering my favorites. Yes that's a surprising record, recommended not just for the cool die cut and gatefold cover. But there are also a couple of very jazzy - almost crime jazzy - cuts on there. I've always been surprised actually that more "exotica" records didn't cross into jazz territory but this and one Tito Puente record are the only ones I can think of that go this far. As far as Axel's real name, I just assume it's something like Bernie Schwartz. Or Hagar Slacks.

Chambers of Horrors and Red-Eyed Rats may have been stuck in there from his Nightmare/Panic/Shock series of horror LPs. As I usually do when a fellow exoticat tips us off to an interesting album, I immediately start digging to check availablity and get more info. So I ran across (online) a Danny Davis / Kenyon Hopkins LP called 'MUSIC OF MYSTERY MAYHEM & MURDER', which could very well be the same record you describe with a different title.

Arranger, Song writer and Conductor. Irving is the brother of comedian Bill Dana (nee: William Szathmary. Bill is best remembered for his role of Jose Jiminez on the Steve Allen TV Show). Irving wrote one song that was a moderate hit, "Leave It to Love" which was based on his instrumental "Time to Dance". His specialty was what he called "symphonic swing", sometime "swingphonic swing". I first became aware of him in 1940 when he made a batch of transcriptions for Associated (Muzak). Many of them were marvellous instrumental arrangements of songs like "Mood Indigo", "Tea for Two" and "Let's Be Buddies". He also had arrangements of songs with a male vocalist (Floyd Sherman), a female vocalist (unknown) and a seven member vocal group called "The Seven Singing Serenaders". One of their songs, "I Am An American", now forgotten, would be appropriate today. They also did "The Call of the Canyon" which could be a Billy Hill number. Later, Szathmary became the A & R man for the Lang-Worth transcription company. He made many great transcriptions most of which utilized his theme and variation orchestrations. (Among his 1940 Muzak arrangements was a theme and many variations of the nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill". For Lang-Worth, he had a sensational arrangement of "Gambler's Blues" which is "St.James Infirmary". -------------------- Cheers, Lou ------------------- Carl Howard wrote: > The score for practically the entire series "Get Smart" was the work of Irving Szathmary.

I am presently listening to a CD that I burned from the mp3's I got off basic hip's last two album downloads. Maybe something will screw up before it's over but so far, I can't believe it worked. It took forever to download the mp3's on my slow connection but it took a real short time to burn them from my hard drive onto the CDR. It's a friggin miracle. It's the first time I ever burned mp3's onto CD obviously. I wasn't sure it was even going to work. Now basic hip, could you do me a favor and send me the playlist for last week's "beyond the valley" or whatever it was? I can't get over this.

Hopkins' horror LP's were put out on the Metro label, so was this James = Bond album.

Anyway, after basichip's comments, I re-examined the label on the LP and = the tracks are credited to Kenyon Hopkins (it says his "Chamber of = Horrors" is based on Orientale - I didn't notice any similarities....), = and "Monster Meeting" and "Red-Eyed Rats" are Hopkins. Also on the album = are cuts by Ray Ellis (& His Orch.) and Danny Davis (& His Orch.) who is = the only one credited on the actual cover.

This number turned out to be two. Any attempt to download more than two would be greeted by a wet slap in the face and a knock on the door by a Man In Black (okay, by a stalled File Download request window that would stay there until a previous one had completed). I did go for the files from "How to Speak Hip" and "Percussion, Playful and Pretty," but it took hours to secure all the MP3s. With Earthlink charging me extra usage minutes and the phone company doing likewise, every step of the way. Indeed, this is NOT precisely how to live at all times. But at least I can't blame Basic Hip for it ! And I'll have to try that other trick once I get my G4 and my cable modem back !

This isn't something that is unique to the Macintosh as a simple right click does the same in Windows, but the number of downloads you can perform at once has a lot to do with the type of connection you have and maybe also the processer speed. My T3 connection at work seems to max out at 5 consecutive downloads, but at home with the 56K dialup I can't do more than one. Now there may be some setting in Windows that allows me to change this, but I have never seen it. In any case, I can still do other online activities during downloading at either machine.

Reinhardt died in Cannes on the French riviera after suffering a heart attack, the company said. The guitarist and composer, born June 8, 1944 in Paris, was first taught how to play the piano by his father, the gypsy guitarist Django, but his mother Naguine showed him the basics of guitar playing. It was the guitar that then became the instrument of his choice, though he spent most of his life in the shadow of his father, who died when Babik was nine years old. "His compositions contained as much nostalgia and expressions of warmth like a beautiful autumn afternoon in the Fontainebleau forest," a statement from the Paris-based RDC record label said, referring to the town south of Paris near to where his father and mother are buried. Babik Reinhardt carried on the swing jazz tradition his father made famous. He participated in numerous homages to him, playing last year in the Django Reinhardt Festival at the Birdland jazz club in New York. His albums with the RDC label include Nuances, Vibration and A Night in Conover.

The $50 million picture's South Korean financier, ShinCine Communications, acquired rights to Lee's likeness from Concord Moon, which represents the Bruce Lee estate and is overseen by Lee's widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, and his daughter, Shannon Lee. Now in its third draft by Korean and Japanese writers, "Dragon" will be translated and further refined for an English-language production. The project has already spent four years in development and will be the first that ShinCine has produced for the American marketplace, said company head Chul Shin. Shannon Lee said the family agreed to do this project, "because we believe in ShinCine's and Mr. Shin's enthusiasm and commitment to making a first-rate film." Bruce Lee was a veteran of Hong Kong cinema when he first reached mainstream American audiences in 1966 as Kato in the television series "The Green Hornet." He starred in films such as "Fist of Fury," "Way of the Dragon" and "Enter the Dragon." He died at 32 of a brain edema. Drummer Francis dies ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- David "Panama" Francis, whose drumming was featured both in top Harlem nightclubs and legendary rock songs, died Tuesday after a stroke. He was 82. Francis' career spanned seven decades. He first reached fame in the late 1930s playing with the Savoy Sultans -- described by Dizzy Gillespie as "the swingingest band there ever was" -- at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. The Sultans re-emerged four decades later under Francis' leadership and drumming expertise. The Sultans were awarded The Best Big Band by the New York Jazz Society in 1980 and received Grammy nominations for two of their six albums. When pop became a viable genre in the 1950s, Francis' services were in demand and he became one of the top studio drummers of the era. His stickwork can be heard accompanying Buddy Holly ("Peggy Sue"), The Four Seasons ("Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man"), The Platters ("Only You," "The Great Pretender," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "My Prayer"), Bobby Darin ("Splish Splash") and Neil Sedaka ("Calendar Girl"). Francis' rhythm-and-blues recordings include "Prisoner of Love" for James Brown, "What a Difference a Day Makes" for Dinah Washington, "Drown in My Own Tears" for Ray Charles, and "Jim Dandy" for Laverne Baker. Francis' autobiography, "David Gets His Drum," was published in 1999. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22panama+francis%22 http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1PANAMA|FRANCIS # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) "Let's Cha-Cha With Puente" Date: 15 Nov 2001 14:50:11 EST In a message dated 11/14/01 8:44:23 PM, mace@ookworld.com writes: << Any other Puente favorites out there? >> Several...when I get to my Latin section and pull them out, I'll list them.

For instance, you can create a queue of a number of files, resume and finish partial downloads, schedule downloads, start downloads at bedtime and the program will disconnect and shut down your computer when finished with your downloads, etc, etc. I use one called Reget but there are competitors and most are free (adware).

I recall hearing it's Muzzy Marcellino - can anybody verify? And is he credited in the liner notes? Those "Stereo Action" records have great liner notes, so I imagine he is, but would appreciate a confirmation. I'm seeing Esquivel records in bins again. They are not giving them away though, but I remember a time when you did not see them at all. Unfortunately, I had never heard of Esquivel when, previous to the craze, they were in thrift stores for 50 cents Speaking of Esquivel records, Dusty Groove has his early mexican album "To Love Again" available - it's been sitting there, and has gone through a couple of price reductions. This is not on CD, is it? Even if it was, I'd much prefer a similarly priced original, surface noise and all. Why doesn't anybody want it? Not the same zu-zu-zu's fouind on later LP's? An interesting discovery on David Carroll's "Let's Dance" LP. There is one version (same front cover, different back cover) with half of the tunes featuring the shitling solos of Elmo Tanner. You know I liked that :) Recent find: THE DOWNTOWN SCENE (Hits for the Hip) Ninapinta and his Bongos and Congas Decca DL 74711 Cover has a wholesome babe with a halter top and tight pants looking back right at you. A night scene in the background. It's a latin jazz now sound kind of record. Hang On Sloopy, Stop In The Name Of Love, Help, It Ain't Me, Babe, lots more familiar hits. I only bring it up because I've never seen or heard of Ninapinta. He has good people with him including Willie Rodriguez on percussion and Clark Terry on Trumpet. # 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: "Benito Vergara" Subject: RE: (exotica) internet file downloads (mp3 and other) Date: 17 Nov 2001 12:03:48 -0800 > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-exotica@lists.xmission.com > [mailto:owner-exotica@lists.xmission.com]On Behalf Of your name here > Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 8:37 AM > You people who are downloading MP3 albums and such might want to try > using a download manager software program.

Oh good - thanks for confirming. AZ's theory on the Christopher Columbus boats must be it. Mongo Santamaria, of course! Did Muzzy whistle alot with Hugo Montenegro? Aside from Good Vibrations? I need to know this stuff for my lil' whistling site. :) Which Muzzy solo LP do you need? Mind you, I have no dups, but I'm always looking, so I'll keep you in mind. There are three, each on a different label. Birds Of A Feather (Liberty) Whistling On The Beach At Waikiki (Coral) Art Linkletter's House Party Music Time (Capitol) All three are great and would appeal to even the most hardened whistling skeptics. There's pop instros, exotica, really wonderful stuff, very well done and fun to listen to! I'd rate all of these about even, they are all in my Top Ten. Birds of a Feather is the hardest of the bunch to find, but it's really no better (IMHO) than the other two except for that wonderful cover. Of course, all three are available for viewing at my already-under-remodeling section of my whistling site. It's not even done yet and I'm making changes. I'm hopeless! Go here and scroll down to Marcellino, Muzzy. Click on a record and you'll be whisked to a window which offers more details, cover, track list, and one complete track for download. http://www.basichip.com/whistling/records/records33.htm # 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 Karasick" Subject: (exotica) The Secret Garden Of Stanley Sweetheart Date: 18 Nov 2001 10:24:21 -0500 This one was on Canadian Bravo Friday for the second time in a few months, and I didn't forget about it this time! It stars a (VERY) young Don Jonhnson, and was all about the perils of the drug and hippie culture in 1970. It reminded me a lot of Midnight Cowboy, though it dates from the same time period, so... Musically it's more on the pop-psych vs the psych-spolitation side, and not of major interest unless you're more of a soft-pop fan. One scene that will not fail to hit home, was the source of the constant racket outside Stanley's (supposedly 110th St!) apartment. The image from the window was unmistakeably the WTC under construction just outside. At the stage it was at, you could see the steel tubes of the shell going up, and looking an awful lot like what was left once it all came down! In any case, it's a worthwhile one to watch if it happens to come your way...

I'm afraid I had a faultily incomplete sense of the Maestro upon the Lips' recorded output. He has three solo outings - wow, that's incredible. Has the world changed so much that there is no longer room for solo LPs by talented whistlers? I don't have any of the three. My guess is, if they're going to turn up, it's going to be at DustyGroove or else on eBay, which I personally do not like to get involved with very often. Or else maybe they'll turn up at that site I scored two Dick Schory Percussion Ensemble records - Disks Wow or something, I forget the name now. I know I have seen Marcellino on other recordings in the Living Stereo/Stereo Action series, although I could not tell you which ones right now because my vinyl has been in storage since I moved to Ohio.

Sunshiney west coast psychedelic lounge jazz. Hmmm... I think that's up my alley. But maybe you're talking about something different. I don't have those Wes Montgomery records. I've always kind of avoided them even though his "Other Side of Abbey Road" was partly responsible for my initial interest in jazz, back in the day. And i've avoided them because I figured they'd always be there. Recently I broke down and bought his "California Dreaming" record, partly because I have a new interest in Don Sebesky. And it's not bad. But I don't think it fits your sunshiney psychedelic jazz thing. What about Bud Shank? You ever heard his "Let it Be" record? It's a mix of jazz and soft pop. I also like his "Michelle", "California Dreaming" and "Magical Mystery". But I'm not sure this will fit your parameters. Though the terms "jazz", "lounge" and "sunshine" definitely apply. I think there's a lot of stuff that generally fit your parameters. Gabor Szabo, Gary McFarland, some Paul Horn, maybe even some Howard Roberts though I don't think I'd use the word "sunshiney" with him. More groovy. Some particular Herbie Mann records. A few by Tom Scott. And Joe Pass. Look for his "Sign of the Times" record. I think that qualifies. He also has a record called "Stones Jazz" which is all, you guessed it, tunes by the Rolling Stones. I'm always looking for stuff like this. I assume there's tons of it out there that I've yet to discover. I've never heard Hal Blaine's "Psychedelic Percussion" but someday I'll break down and buy a CD copy from the guy whose real name isn't Jack Diamond. I think Carol Kaye also made a record in this vague genre. I think they all did. That whole west coast session musician crew were mostly jazzbo's. They basically invented spy jazz and by the end of the decade were doing more sunshiney psychedelic jazz. You can find it on soundtracks, I think. Then again, like I said, we could be talking about different genres.

He also has a record called "Stones Jazz" which is all, you >guessed it, tunes by the Rolling Stones. I should have thought of Szabo - I love all of his stuff up through about '74, especially those 2 Skye label releases, which conform perfectly to my psychedelic lounge jazz obsession. Except that they're not really sunshine-y. More kinda pleasantly exotic, or something like that. I've never carefully listened to those Bud Shank records, but I guess at the time my impression was that the arrangements were kinda uninspired. Or maybe I was just distracted by the ugly album covers. And I like Gary McFarland too, although his pop stuff can be a tad too chirpy for me sometimes. But I have "Soft Samba" on loan from Ms. Mayer (don't worry Mimi, I hadn't forgotten about it), and it does the trick for me everytime. Crymad mentioned Benson's CTI releases too, and I should have remembered that, too; especially "Shape of Things to Come". Right now I'm eyeing his "Goodies" LP on Verve, which I'm recalling is also a nice listen, but it's momentarily unavailable because my cat is sleeping on top of it. Anyways, I think late 60's A&M/CTI (and Skye to a certain extent) really WAS/IS that sound that I'm chasing after. Wes Montgomery, Nat Adderley, Quincy Jones, Herbie Mann, A.C. Jobim, Soul Flutes, Paul Desmond, and a lot more I'm probably forgetting. Great even into the early 70's - I like that first Deodato record. But my god the label started sucking soon after that. And I could never get into that Artie Butler thing, which supposedly has an ondioline on it. -Dan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp # 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: Hemmel@gmx.net Subject: (exotica) JUNGLE DRUMS the Lecuona tune Date: 19 Nov 2001 04:23:36 +0100 (MET) Hi All, anyone knows great VOCAL versions of Lecuonas exotica classic JUNGLE DRUMS ? I saw an LP called High Tide by the Surfers on HI FI records (in mono) that was not so hot, but there version of JUNGLE DRUMS sung in english with some birdcalls at the beginning was great. The LP is expensive, and I could imagine that there are better vocal versions around to look for. (the only other one I know is from Caterina Valente sung in Spanish on the great Fire 'n' Frenzy LP. I saw at the fantastic Space Age Pop side: http://www.spaceagepop.com/jungdrum.htm that the song is also on: Augie Colon, Chant of the Jungle, Liberty LRP-3148 Is this maybe THE most exotic vocal version of the tune ? Or the one by the: Los Rumberos, Rumba Picturesque (Rumba Rumbero), Tico LP-1026 could be very good, as I know there Taboo version, that is very exotic and great (where I don't know where it came from, as I only have it on tape and it is not listed on the Space Age Pop side) BTW. There is also a vocal version from RETURN TO PARADISE on it, but much to schmalzy. So here is question two. Any great Vocal versions known here ?

It's interesting how you cannot see things the same as you used to, even any ordinary skyline suddenly looks somewhat suspicious. It shows how relative interpretations are, how subjective and how dependent on pre-information. I remember we discussed this point on numerous occasions when we couldn't agree on what Exotica really is, wether it's simply innocent folkloristic or colonialistic exploitation and so on. It's all based on personal background how you see something. And these Sept11 events seem to show it better than anything else.

Last night on "60 Minutes" (a TV magazine show), there was this report from Kuwait. And the Islamists are trying to take over the government there, in spite of the very wealthy Western-style lifestyle most Kuwaitis enjoy. And I was kind of thinking about the whole idea of "exotica" and how that doesn't seem to be in the mix anymore. They either want to be modern and Western OR they want to go back to some fundamentalist, restrictive lifestyle. Forget about the dancing girls with their bare midriffs. At a Bedouin wedding celebration, there are no women at all. I'm not sure I get it. Not that I exactly think I should be able to relate to anything another human being does but all I can think is that women's sexuality is so frightening to them that they're willing to go to extremes to keep it in check. And unfortunately I don't think Billy Mure and Yma Sumac on a musical goodwill tour could change their minds.

I am forwarding his email to the list as I know there are several listees who have received and enjoyed his compilations in the past. Also worthy of note are his concert posters which he produces in limited numbers for trading/selling. He spends piles of his own cash on top-notch printing and materials, they are really well-done. The only reason he sells them is to help defray the cost of producing them. I mention this not only in the hopes of drumming up business for Don, but also because his website is full of groovy eye-candy that any exoticat can appreciate for free. There are also track listings for each CD, so it might make interesting reading for the X-mas music enthusiasts of the group. Enjoy! Ron Grandia ========================= SNIP ====================================== Greetings tasteful fan of the atypical musical offering, You are receiving this announcement because you are on the list of interested parties or you have past-patronized homegrown-Xmas compilations from Don Vigeant, Ltd. Of course, your e-address is not shared with anyone of the spammer ilk. As always, you can reply to this email with 'remove' in the subject line and you will never be bothered by me again.

I have dug myself down into a $500 hole with all my various productions, but they are labor of love to say the least. Feel free to pass this along to anyone who may be interested. I am always delighted to add people to my mailing list. Wanna skip the forthcoming blah-blah-blah? Then go here: http://www.raygun-equipt.com/cds/index.html XMAS CD UPDATE: Here at Yuletidic-Caucophonic Central, we have been steadily testing, compiling and mapping out not one, but two separate Christmas CDs for this year. They are tentatively called: "BIG RED IS ON THE ROOF: St. Nick-Specific Songs" "AWWWWW- YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE: A Holiday Tune Quirk Compendium" I am extremely delighted with how these are shaping up; the Santa disc itself is nearly a year in the making. Everyone will be prompted just before/after Thanksgiving with official notification and complete track listings. I hope to have these ready to ship by the end of November. It goes without saying what unique Christmas gifts one or both of these would make (or even the Star Wars Surf CD mentioned down below), Each of these separately offered discs are in excess of 30-tracks apiece (80 min) and are liberally sprinkled with Christmas dialogue snatches and hidden surprises. Like always, these will come housed in limited edition, unique artwork. In fact, I am test-driving a new form of gatefold sleeve to use which will eliminate the jewelcase completely (it is a tedious, hand score/fold/cut/glue assembly that looks fabulous when finished). The first release in this format, THE EMPIRE SURFS BACK!(non-Christmas, obviously), using this gatefold sleeve is being assembled and offered now. I am also rereleasing previous Xmas collections with adjusted packaging (available at the end of the month) and possibly some cleaned up audio. 1998 & 1999 will be re-issued in two-sided sleeves, the format of 2000's 2-disc set is still undecided. Each release is always available in a no-frills, econo format at all times at $5 per disc, see the website for pricing details on the artwork version sets. And remember, someone spent countless hours and dollars listening to Christmas music the whole, entire year all so YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO! "THE EMPIRE SURFS BACK! An Indulgent Pairing of The Star Wars Trilogy With Surf Instrumentals" Here is the complete track listing and packaging: http://www.raygun-equipt.com/cds/empirecd.html Originally released in 1999 (all 50 copies gone in a month), this re-release is the 'special edition' of sorts. The basic premise: I took the children's readalong book and record sets from all 3 Star Wars movies (and also 'The Star Wars ABCs') and I interspersed passages of the cornball audio with 24 of my favorite neo-surf garage instrumental songs. All this is sandwiched by the Star Wars theme at the beginning and at the end by a hidden, unlisted track of Meco's annoying 'Ewok Celebration Theme' -the extended rap version! Like the subtitle says, an indulgent pairing! This release received some highbrow notoriety from the Dec/Jan 1999/2000 Star Wars Insider magazine in an article which profiled Star Wars-related music put together by fans. WHY A 'SPECIAL EDITION' -? While I really liked the artwork on the original release, the liner notes came out illegible. This new draft retains most of the same look with some aesthetic tinkering, but expands upon it with an additional panel of art gained from a new gatefold sleeve (and therefore, no clunky jewelcase). These sleeves are a score/cut/fold/glue challenge taking around 10 MINUTES EACH TO ASSEMBLE but I'm sure you'll agree that the finished product is a collectible treasure. On the audio side of things, I have normalized the levels on all the tracks for a better sound and one of the songs has been re-recorded at it's intended speed of 45rpm (whoops!). The unlisted, hidden track at the end is now track #50 with 24 five-second tracks of silence beforehand. Thanks for taking all this in. I'll be back in touch in about a week.

Cugat first recorded this in the late 1920's and Dina sang the words to her wonderful version dated late twenties or early thirties. You can pick this up on a cd entitled something like Xavier Cugat with Dina Shore or Cugat the Early Years. We discussed this song a while back on the exotica list and I remember Mo giving a definition of Exotica with a capital E as music trying to capture the feel of a tropical land without using that lands typical customary instruments. More like Hollywood's imagination's version of that far off exotica land. Not indigineous music recorded in that exotic land. (I just butchered Mo's description, but that's the general point) I argued that Cugat's Jungle Drums was the first Exotica song. After hanging out with Kafka and getting exposed to so much music in the last few years I doubt its the first exotica song. Something from the turn of the century is my guess.

He was 94, and always swore that it didn't hurt. He swallowed swords, breathed with one lung at a time, exhibited different expressions on each side of his face, ate fire, rotated his stomach muscles in an act called "the cement mixer," survived an electric chair, wrestled snakes and performed excellent magic. Working for a one-ring circus during the Depression, he was 9 of its 14 acts. But it was as the Human Blockhead that Mr. Burkhart achieved carnival glory. Others had driven nails into their noses as part of larger exhibitions of withstanding pain. But he made a five-minute act out of it and added a droll presentation. Robert Ripley of "Ripley's Believe It or Not," a sometime employer, came up with the blockhead name.

I also remember a controverse string within that discussion about wether "stealing" other folks' music and using it, is exploitation or inspiration. > I argued that Cugat's > Jungle Drums was the first Exotica song. After hanging out with > Kafka and getting exposed to so much music in the last few years I > doubt its the first exotica song. Something from the turn of the > century is my guess. Yeah, definitely. Especially as a "Hawaiian Craze" seems to be the first ever hype in recording history, and that was from the turn of the century up into the 20s. So if this was recorded in the late 20s I may have an earlier example at hand: I downloaded a little film excerpt from an early Marlene Dietrich movie, it should be early 20s, but I'm not sure. It has amazingly wild jungle drums, heavy ritualistic type of pagan exotica jazz, tropical tribal stage deco and hula gogo dancers. The gig goes like this: In comes a gorilla, dancing until he zips his fur open and out steps half-naked Marlene Dietrich with a giant blonde(!) afro style wig... bizarre. Maybe I should make this available in the internet for you all. It's worth some downloading time. --Mo ............................ studio ® http://moritzR.de exotica@web.de ............................ # 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: (exotica) Warm Feelings?

An A to Z with articles (reprinted linear notes?) by the likes of Irwin Chusid and R.J. Smith. And a couple of sections with color photos of record covers. (Including the recently mention Brazil Now by Les Baxter) The nice thing about books like this is it will make you revisit artists you may have dropped off. And take another look. (Like Tony Hatch) And new people like "The Four King Cousins". And with just a few newer folks like Swing Out Sister and Devo. "Trip-Hop" is described as "a genre based on taking old John Barry singles and playing them at 16 rpm. And the book is interspersed with description of Classic cuts and what CD/LP they are on. Lot better than Music Hound book from a while back. Flipping thru this looked like the Luxuria playbook. Wonder how much the folks at Luxuria used this reference guide.

But I think he had bigger hits at the time, he was certainly a familiar enough name to me at the time. In the seventies he did some duets with Alan Price (of Animals infamy) and had a hit with 'The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde' as I recall. I have this feeling he used to look like Tommy Steel, when I try to imagine either of them I get the same face grinning back at me. I have a feeling I have this book, given to me for my birthday nearly 2 years ago and I think it was discussed briefly then. I think it was edited by someone from one of the UK music magazines (Mojo or such) and that explains the Swing Out Sister inclusions and such, that I thought were a bit bizarre. Like the description of Trip-Hop, though.

Georgie Fame is unique. He was one of those singer/songwriters in the 60s= , who were attributed to have a "black" voice. With his band The Blue Fla= mes he was the only white musician to be part of the first Tamla Motown t= our with Stevie Wonder, Martha and the Vandellas, Smokey Robinson and th= e Supremes. He didn't like Bonnie & Clyde, but it was his biggest hit. Ot= her hits were Get Away and Yeh-Yeh. As he is the favorite musician of Chr= istian Kellersmann of Universal Jazz, Georgie got a mega-best-of-3 CD-gal= a-box with a book-sized hard-cover-booklet 3 years ago, which can be reco= mmended highly. It's called "The In-Crowd" and presents Georgie Fame as a= strong, warm and sensitive instrumentalist and singer, who plays all sha= des of mod rhythm & blues virtously. This is music for those who apprecia= te "good-ol'" skillful musicianship rather than electronic sound experime= nts... ... and Bonnie & Clyde isn't on it of course!

Wrong decade - Dinah Shore's "Jungle Drums" with Cugat was recorded in October 1939 (she would have only been 12 years old in 1929!). Cugat's first record contract, with RCA, started in 1933. The dates I've seen given for the song itself are 1929 and 1933. Possibly the former is for the composition or publishing of the original Lecuona tune, and the latter for the version with English lyrics by Carmen Lombardo and Charles O'Flynn. No word as to who penned the "ooohh ooohhs" in the Stanley Black version. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "M.Ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) Easy!

The Lexicon of Lounge, Date: 21 Nov 2001 11:39:10 -0500 >He also had a hit with The BAllad of Bonnie and Clyde Which, in my opinion is not him at his best. I prefer the "Yeh, Yeh" era for Fame. There is a "20 Beat Classics" CD that seems to have a good selection of Fame's stuff from that era, but does not include my favorite track of his, which is "Telegram". If you like Fame, you may also like the "Graham Bond ORGANisation", which featured the 2/3 of Cream that wasn't Eric Clapton. Their first two albums, "The Sound of '65" and "There's a Bond Between Us" (I am very proud to say that I actually have "There's..." on LP) are on a double CD for the first time in years and the original albums go for big bucks nowadays, so now is a good time to take advantage of this. "Spanish Blues" by them is actually a little...oh, um, exotic and features Bond playing organ and alto sax simultaneously! Well, I still haven't talked about my San Francisco finds, so I will talk about my Citrus Heights, CA finds (just outside of Sacramento). At The Thrift Store (that is the name, folks!), I found: Passports to Pleasure - Raoul Meynard. What I have heard, I liked! Dancing on the Continent - Lester Lanin. The LP was open, but the perforated plastic sleeve has not been, so the record is mint. Is it worth opening? The Soupy Sales Show - Beat up like no one's business, but still tracks. Musical people on the record were Neal Hefti and Jimmie Haskell! Sure enough, it has the delightfully demented theme song of his. The comedy is geared for kids, though. Themes for African Drums - Guy Warren (Kofi Ghanaba). WHAAA!? Here I was in an area of the country that was not the most ethnically diverse and THIS popped up. What I have heard I have liked here, too. Too bad this hasn't been reissued. Volunteered Slavery - Roland Kirk. WHAAA!?

Just when I think I can almost psychically intuite the selection of records before stepping foot inside a given thrift store, I come across some anomalous ethnic head-scratcher. Like that stash o' 60's Brazilian Bossa-Nova LP's (on Brazilian labels, moreover) in a Lubbock antiques store, or, in a San Antonio flea market, 3 different sealed boogaloo LP's (Pete Terrace, Kent Gomez, Louie Rey) on MIO, Pete Terrace's tiny NYC-based Latin label. Or, most of all, Blowfly's x-rated party rap LP in a church(!) thrift store in the heart of Lancaster County, PA. I had to muster all of my courage to lay out my $0.25 for that one, lest the kindly old church lady running the 60's-era cash register take an extra-long glance at it, and subject me to her damning scrutiny accordingly (praying later for my salvation). To my vast relief, she took no especial notice.

These are great subjects everybody's bringing up. I'm more partial to groovier, funkier late 60s-early 70s sounds, not so much into vegas lounge (except Dino, my wife's favorite) or hawaiian exotica proper, though my vinyl unearthings touch on that pretty frequently, and I do dig some of it. Need more clarification? Peep my club playlists at http://www.thestepgods.com/honeymachine/ Multiple responses to multiple postings: > The name Georgie Fame sounds really familiar.. Thanks to the other posters for some background on Mr. Fame. I've got his '66(?) GET AWAY LP and among some laidback numbers and midtempo soul stuff, he absolutely wails on the Hammond on the great raw dance tracks "El Bandito" & "Last Night," the latter of which I've played at my DJ nights. Speaking of which, I hope nobody considers my earlier HONEY MACHINE club posting to be spam 'cos I think any Exotica listmembers in NC would dig the sounds. Come on out! It's free! > "The Tijuana Brass Sound" show What? No Guadalajara Kings? I picked up a Liberty 45 by 'em the other week (can't remember the song title) and it's got that great TB sound, but with a crisper, more danceable (to me) go-go beat. Nice. And how about The American Patrol? It's a pretty good James Last record on Warner Bros. (got for a buck, again last week!) whose liner notes are all about defending American music from south of the border invaders! But what do you get in the grooves? You guessed it: Tijuana Brass ripoffs! I highly recommend James Last's other LPs "Hair" (superfunky w/ psychedelic phased-out horn sections) & "Voodoo Party" (again superfunky, with more bongos than a Mongo Santamaria boxset). > Basic Hip: Adventurers Wow this was a great time to join the list. An LP I've been searching out for awhile, and now I've got it burned to CD w/ the cover, too! Thank you! I didn't realize that Bjork sampled one of the tracks for her "Human Behavior." Now I do. African Lament is downloading now... > Beyond the Valley of the Dolls THANK YOU whoever posted the alert about the lbx version of one of my top 5 films of all time on AMC last week. I read the posting just as the first showing was wrapping up so I set my VCR for the 4am showing and now I've got a lbx copy. Awesome. I actually met stars Cynthia Myers & Edy Williams at a convention a couple of years back and had them sign my BVOD poster. Both were VERY nice, though Edy was kinda spacy...! > Tony Scott: Music for Yoga (or something like that) I just saw this when I picked up a Gabor Szabo LP but I passed on it. After someone's post about it, I'm now hoping it's still at the store! Yeah, I dig that "psychedelic California lounge" sound, too. Gerald Wilson Orchestra has some great songs in that vein. Check out his "California Soul" LP. Best Szabo LPs: "Light My Fire" w/ Bob Thiele and "Sky and Diamonds" (or something like that, again) w/ the California Dreamers. The latter is a little hokey, but there are some nice moments. Both feature sitar in the background. Hey, anybody familiar w/ the Les & Larry Elgart LP, "..au Go Go"? I just got it on a whim and it's some pretty cool '66 era Austin Powers-style mod big band stuff. Did they put out any other LPs in a similar vein? Also, how about The Big Game Hunters? They have an AMAZING song "See the Cheetah" that I found on a UNI 45 recently: jazzy feel w/ a midtempo gogo beat, bongos, sexy flute, and great female vocals ("See the Cheetah, bayyybay. He looks so groooovy!"). Anybody have their background or info on other releases? I don't post to lists very often, mostly lurk, but this is a great list with great folks.

As far as vocal versions of this song, the only one I've ever heard have used its spanish title - 'Carabali'. It's actually a little disappointing though. But it's on a great Caterina Valente LP, 'Com Edmundo Ros', aka 'Fire and Frenzy'. The album is also notable for an astoundingly brilliant vocal 'miserlou' with a pulsating cha cha rhythm tacked on. There's a soundsample for this on my site at: http://www.musicaltaste.com/showsong.php?song_id=398 I think my favorite ever version of Jungle drums is the wonderfully atmospheric Xavier Cugat version on 'Viva Cugat'. hope everyone is doing well, jonny Currently really enjoying: Milt Jackson and Big Brass - 'For someone I love' from 1963 - really super cool wailing jazz instrumentals with vibes - sounds like a cross between Mancini and those Angelo Badalamenti soundtracks to David Lynch movies. -- recommend songs at www.musicaltaste.com ____________________________________________________ Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 Powered by Outblaze # 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: Sean Pearman Subject: (exotica) Moondog Date: 21 Nov 2001 10:37:16 -0800 (PST) Last weekend, I posted about an LP by Kenny Graham and His Satellites called "Moondog and Suncat Suites".

I experience it myself. But my surprise is usually not about ethnicity but about "hipness". That Guy Warren Africa record wasn't made for African Americans, I don't think. It wasn't African Americans who wanted a record that promoted the image of the noble savage. I don't think. As far as your Bossa Nova surprises, I think there are always rational explanations for all such things. It wasn't Aliens. Somebody bought those records. It's as simple as that. Maybe they were presents someone bought for their friend because they thought their friend was especially hip. Usually when I find these surprising records, they're in good shape, suggesting to me that whoever ended up with them didn't play them much.

He was 89. Mr. Jerome later became a successful musical director and conductor on radio and television and established a music business, scoring and arranging commercial jingles, including "Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should." Mr. Jerome, who lived in Sarasota since the mid-1970's, was the resident host of the city's annual jazz festival. He was playing until recently at festivals and at local clubs and was scheduled to perform on Dec. 10 for the Charlotte County Jazz Society. He also continued to record. Three years ago Arbors Records released a CD, "Something Old, Something New," with tunes recorded at recent sessions as well as songs from years ago with stars like Teddy Wilson, Bob Haggart and Bobby Hackett. The CD's sequel, "Something Borrowed, Something Blue," is scheduled for release in December. Born in Brooklyn, Mr. Jerome started playing the saxophone while in high school in Plainfield, N.J. He attended college and medical school at the University of Alabama. In 1936 he toured the country with the bandleader Harry Reser and his Clicquot Club Eskimos. He moved on to Miller's original orchestra and then to the Norvo band. He joined the Benny Goodman orchestra at the height of its popularity, in 1938. When Goodman broke up his band in 1940, Mr. Jerome joined the Artie Shaw group. While with Shaw he appeared in the film "Second Chorus" with Fred Astaire and Burgess Meredith. Mr. Jerome is survived by his wife, Elaine; four sons, Al, Bill, Jim and Jerry; a stepson, David Frankel; two daughters, Joanne Kelvin and Barbara Mazzei; two sisters, Dorothy Kahn and Elsie Abeles; a brother, Irv; 11 grandchildren; and a great-grandchild. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22jerry+jerome%22 http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=B1zrj28gc053a # 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: azed@pathcom.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Georgie Fame/Tijuana Brass/BVOD/BasicHip Date: 21 Nov 2001 15:14:28 -0500 At 12:22 PM 11/21/01 -0800, DJ Marco wrote: > >Hey, anybody familiar w/ the Les & Larry Elgart LP, "..au Go Go"?

I think it's time you take a trip back into the exotica archive. That Les and Larry record has been discussed extensively, especially by me, as the quintessential Now Sound record. Lately I've decided that Les and Larry deserve to be elevated into the pantheon, the canon, whatever you want to call it. I used to think they were just also-rans and that record you referred to was just an anomaly. But I've changed my mind. And that change came when I heard their "Nashville Country Sound" record and especially their version of the Band tune "Rag Mama Rag". It's the most beautifully arranged chunk of cheese I've ever heard.

I was expecting more of the same music, but inside was Sex Pistols File, a four record set of SP live bootleg recordings. The box was unmarked because the label was inside with the records. And very fine, near mint records to boot. As no rude language or images were visible from the outside, I had no hesitation in taking it up to the church lady cashier and handing her the record with my 25 cents. --crymad # 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: Hemmel@gmx.net Subject: (exotica) VERY EARLY exotica / JUNGLE DRUMS Date: 22 Nov 2001 03:51:02 +0100 (MET) One example is Karavan ( Wiedoeft ; Olman ) -Coleman's Orchestra Recorded: [ca.

A lot more Exotic than I'd anticipated, too. First up on stage was the MC, white jacket, bow tie, snow leopardskin fez..... Then the dancing girls, 3 girls called Babs, in little black numbers, with chairs. Very nice. They danced to one of the sleaziest saxophone records I've ever heard, it wasn't Jazz, it wasn't RnB, it was just slow rolling and dirty. Then the Va Va Voom house band, I didn't catch their name, as I was a little refreshed. Trumpet, Saxophone, Trombone, guitar, Double Bass, Keyboards (Piano and Organ) and drums. Their theme was 'A Shot in the dark' then Stella Starr joined them onstage and they kicked into 'Caravan'. Some excellent solo's made up for Stella's vocal shortcomings. Next up were three ballads I didn't know, but they were a little more suited to the Starr vocals. Then a man in a gold jacket with a quiff joined them and they did 'Human Fly', an Elvis song and a Chuck Berry number, Stella came back for a sleazier number and that was that. Great. At this point, one of my friends, who I'd had to talk into coming said 'That was great, I've had my money 's worth, it doesn't matter if the rest of the evening is crap'. The DJ played some great tunes in a brief interval (a version of 'Green Onions' with a Harmonica and Organ anyone?). Then Stella came back and took off some clothes in the best burlesque manner. She wasn't wearing many, and didn't take many of them off, and finished off with some tassle twirling. Another brief interval and some Va Va Voom links: http://www.thisisbrightonandhove.co.uk/brighton__hove/leisure/club_reviews/v avavavoom.html http://www.teaseorama.com/vavavoom.html [VA Va Voom do one off's more or less monthly, at various places in Brighton (and abroad), I have friends who go they sound like fun.] Then the band came on. 'Green Hornet'. They looked the part, scrawny, unhealthy white trash (I think someone said they were Dutch, though). Drums, guitar, and keyboards. I didn't know a Korg could sound so good, even an old one. The sound was great, somewhere between ? and the mysterians and those 80's US Goth Rockabilly bands. The dancing girls came back, too, one each side of the stage on platforms. Andre loved that. Oh yes. The man himself came on in a Red Zoot suit and got straight down to it. I'm not familiar with his repertoire at all, so it was all a bit vague, he started with what seemed to be some sort of anthem (lots of 'Hallelujah's' in there), and a couple of standards ('Proud Mary'), and he wasn't in good voice. His set was split into two parts wit h the Green Hornet playing a couple of songs in the break, and he let rip on the last song for each half, and you could see the fire in those songs and get some idea of how he would have been. By the time he finished it was well past closing time, the house lights came up, but we managed to get him back for another version of the anthem and a real sleazy song directed at the dancing girls (as had several of the others). Its the first time in a long time that I'd seen anyone called back after the lights had gone up, todays youth seem to give up and go home. A great night. So thanks for the tip Exoticats...

"god save the mona lisa" is done by roberto menescal & carlos lyra and "i'm still a simple man" is done by hirth martinez. do those names mean anything to anyone? also kahimi karie does vocals on the version of "on a chair" included here. speaking of kahimi karie, its been reported over on the p5 list that she has a new album of covers coming out soon. william in taipei. # 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: "Br.

Sorry I'm a bit of a latecomer but I'm sure ya'll will get me up to speed. Speaking of puzzling thriftstore finds, I managed to score Dominic Frontiere's ON ANY SUNDAY OST and The Meters STRUTTIN' mint original issue at a rural NC pawnshop (pawnshop?!?) this year for $3 each. Terry Baxter's THE BEST OF '70 boxset for $2 at a local thrift store wasn't too shabby either; it has a totally INCREDIBLE easy/bongo version of "Whole Lotta Love!" Some buys today that I've only listened to snippets of so far: Mundell Lowe: SATAN IN HIGH HEELS OST (1962 [1969 reish]) - Never thought I'd find this at a reasonable price ($20 is reasonable...right?). Top of the line crime jazz stuff that I'm sure has been discussed at length by you folks. It's a reissue but I'm VERY happy to finally have it. Tony Scott: MUSIC FOR YOGA MEDITATION (late 60s) - Yep, I went back and picked it up. I was hoping for more of an Ananda Shankar/Dave Pike beat thing, but this is more of a standard sitar raga record with some oddball touches like "om" chants and clarinet. Title is completely honest. That must have been a pretty laidback club the previous poster heard it at! Mongo Santamaria: EL PUSSYCAT - DJ copy w/ a pic of Mongo on the cover, not the go-go girl. Everybody knows Mongo can do now wrong; I've never been disappointed with his LPs and I've gotten about 7 so far. This is a little more jazzy (light) and straight latin than his later ones, but a dance party just the same. Jimmy Smith: BLUESMITH - I collect the hammond boss' LPs on sight. The LP is mostly blues as on tracks like "Absolutely Funky," but ironically it gets funky on "Blues for 3+1." Go figure. Kind of an average rec for Smith, but still good. Cal Tjader & Eddie Palmieri: EL SONIDO NUEVO - Like the above Mongo LP, this ain't uptempo latin soul, it's soothing latin jazz w/ Tjader's nice vibe work. But they do a great cover of the theme song to MODESTY BLAISE!!! Worth it for that track alone. Billy Butterfield: THE NEW DANCE SOUND OF... - Got this on a tip from the store owner who got it from out back and played a little bit for me. Holy smokes! Mid-60s easy trumpeter gets the heaviest & rawest drum sounds ever witnessed on an "a-go-go" LP! Kinda like Bill Black but 10 times better-sounding than most of the stuff I've heard from BB. Great beats, totally clubworthy! Surely you guys can fill me in on this guy...or at least his drummer! The Elgarts have some competition!

William, Serendipity! I was just given this today. Only listened to a few tracks but it is the Beau Hunks doing arrangements of Roger Roger's production music from the 50's to '70's. Roger Roger was involved in the production. I have one of the Chappell Mood Music albums that Roger Roger recorded late '50's which includes a couple of these tracks. The re-recordings sound brilliant and are very true to the originals which are hard to find. I say BUY. If you have heard WIGRS via Exoticaring yet there are two original Roger Roger tracks on that which will give you a good idea of what to expect.

Yes, yes, yes, it's wonderful! This is a release on the Dutch Basta label. Roger's music is played here by the Metropole Orchestra (they also did a volume with compositions by Andre Popp). They did a wonderful job. It's the only way to get this music on a 'normal' release. It's otherwise only available on old albums from production music libraries. And talking of Roger Roger, does anyone have any of his albums available on cd-r? I can trade some of his stuff.

Blom's project of the music of Popp and Roger around 1994 were some of the first 'exotic' music I heard. I still love Popp and Roger a lot. Sadly, Roger Roger died around the time of the release of Grands Traveaux, but he got to hear the final results and was very, very pleased with them.

THis is a great record. About 14 years ago I used to listen to a radioshow every sunday afternoon and this dj (Rik Zaal) often played the rare origina= l recordings. And every time he would say "I get all these letters.. no, this music is not available anywhere". Roger Roger was apparently a very stuborn man; he refused to make records for a general audience, but he also refused to work on commission. He never wrote a score for a particular film or radioplay. He just made the music, labeled it 'for proffesional use only' and waited for someone to use. So when this cd with re-recordings by the metropole orchestra came out I bought it because of nice memories of this radioshow. And this is what got me intrested in 'orchestral exotica', showing me the way to Andr=E9 Popp, Raymond Scott, Esquivel, Less Baxter.. (and later Gerswin and Cole Porter too). So what I'm saying is, yes, get it!

In the fifties he made records for the Véga label, with orchestral re-workings of popular (French) hits of the day and dance tunes from the thirties and forties. These were certainly intended for the general public.

Roger Roger is listed with four albums in the July-August 1959 edition of Recordaid. MGM E3395 Beyond the Sea MGM E3201 Thrilling Decca DL8571 Folies Bergere (movie) Decca DL8599 Heart of Paris In 1962 he is shown with the following: Everest SDBR1083 Invitation to Paris And then in 1963 Columbia CS8719 Grand Prix (half of the album showcases Marc Lanjean) It is an excellent LP. Roger’s ability at melody is astounding. His compositions suggest a partial affinity with David Rose. The Roger selections are Intermezzo Scenic Railway Adieu Shanghai Le Cabri Mexicain Ayacucho Chevauchee Caucasienne David _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp # 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: "Bertrand Chaumelle" Subject: Re: (exotica) roger roger Date: 24 Nov 2001 21:12:22 +0100 According to the liner notes of his "Thrilling" LP (MGM E3201) Roger Roger "composed and conducted the scores for more than five hundred movie productions of lesser and greater importance, many of which have been featured in the United States"=2E I have two of his Chappell Mood Music LP's (Vol #1 & 18), two French Pacific LP's "Musique aux 4 vents" and "American Flavor", a very rare Synchro Disc LP called "Holiday On The Road", a Synchro Disc 45, and a few Chappell and Ducretet-Thomson library 78's=2E "Grands travaux" (Big works) was used by Roger Roger to indicate a possible s'track use for one of his compositions, "Atomic Drive", for instance=2E Bertrand ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2001 3:17 PM william wrote: > does anyone know anything about a roger roger release called "grands > travaux" i see it for cheap=2E is this worth picking up? it looks like its > from 1995=2E advice anyone?

I didn't love that record as much as I expected to but it comes on like gangbusters at first.

Those go-go girl records are a bit same-y. It's true that his worst records are still better than some people's best. But his somewhat earlier records - before he started covering all the 60's rock hits - were way better than those later go-go girl ones. >Billy Butterfield: THE NEW DANCE SOUND OF... - Holy >smokes! Mid-60s easy trumpeter gets the heaviest & rawest drum sounds ever >witnessed on an "a-go-go" LP!! Surely you guys can fill me in on this guy...or at least his drummer! The Elgarts have some competition! I can't tell you anything about that. I'm surprised and not surprised that even Billy Butterfield made such a record. I hope I come across this some day. When you mention the drum sound, it reminds me of three of my favorite records, which are more in the big band rock n roll genre. More like those big band twist records than the later go go ones. The drums are just crazy on Joe Sherman and the Arena Brass "Promise her anything". I've heard a couple of others by Joe Sherman, whoever he was, but nothing compares to this one. Amazing version of Fever! Also in a similar heavy drum vein is Bobby Gregg "Let's Stomp" which is arranged by a guy familiar in exotica circles, namely Frank Hunter. And the next one is also by Frank. Frank Hunter and the Huntsmen "Watermelon Man". I guess you're as likely to find these as I am to find the Billy Butterfield but it gives you something to dream about.

Andre Brasseur: "Special 230" o Album "Something Special" o LP, CBS Super Stereo 63081, UK, 1967 | ++++ o info: Contains the hit "Early Bird", which showed Brasseur the path to success and money; his music unfortunately became more commercial, more cheesy, less groovy over the years. 4.

"Weg met Boudewijn" translates as "away with Boudewijn" (ex-king, now very dead) and promotes his wife, Fabiola, as Queen to replace him. The song ends in a wordless version of the "Brabansonne", Belgiums anthem. 10. Vercruusse: "Mobutu ecrit une lettre" o album "Berichten uit het vaderland" o LP, BRT 868.505, Belgium, 1986 11.

Torrero Brass: "Bettelstudent Jerk" o album "Opera & Operette Tijuana style" o LP, Grand Gala stereo GG 0 014, Belgium or Netherlands or Germany?, 1960's | ++ o info: Just what the title says. A bit too light at times, but good fun. Not sure at all where this band comes from; the arranger's name, J. Dufourny, sounds Belgian or French, and the LP was also isssued in Germany. No copyright info at all... Couldn't find any info on the WWW either, so, until someone tells me the arranger or band are NOT Belgian, I assume they are ;-) 20. Johnny Dover And His "Happy Sound": "Sweet Carmen" o album "Operagogo" o LP, Krone 14569, Netherlands, end 1960's | +++ o info: Opera tunes "go go" style. The web site of "Jazz in Belgium" says that Dover is "a self-taught jazz musician, born in Brussels in 1929, who started his musical activity at age 15. From 1955 onwards, he plays clarinet and (baritone) sax in various orchestras, among them the Belgian Radio & Television orchestra lead by Francis bay. Beside his jazz activities, Johnny Dover also worked in the variete field where he accompanied singer Caterina Valente during herworld tours together with Stan Getz, Shirley Bassey, Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Barry White, Barry Manilow and... Julio Iglesias. Multi-instrumentist, soloist or groups member, composer and arranger, his improvisations on flute, tenor, soprano or barytone are always pleasant to follow no matter whether it is Dixieland, mainstream or modern." No mentioning of his Happy Sound Orchestra, probably too popular for a jazz site. Anyway, Marco of "Weirdomusic" told me that this LP was recorded in producer Tony Dirne's studio in Breda, Netherlands, at the end of the 1960's (See http://home.concepts.nl/~pmouse/opsound.htm). Compared to so many other similar "go go" records of that era, this one is a good one: frivolous and light, but with inspired arrangements, and nothing a respected jazz musician/arranger should be embarrassed of! 21. Temping Agency Radio Commercial: "Whistling exercise" o home-recording "Recorded from radio" 22. El Fish & Geert Waegeman: "Boomse Daisies" o soundtrack "A12" o CD, HKM/ Rana 42771, distributed by Zomba Music, Belgium, 2000 | +++ o info: Uncommon combination of blues band El Fish and electronic musician Geert Waegeman. Soundtrack to a movie about Belgium's ugliest road, the A12 between Antwerp and Brussels. 23. Toots Thielemans: "Dirty Old Man" o album "The Silver Collection" o CD, Polydor 852 086, Germany, 1985 | +++ o info: One of the better Toots comps, with 3 funky tracks and a nice groove in several others. 24. Jan De Smet: "Brabansonne Hawaiiene" o home-recording "Levende Lijven - radio show" o info: Multi-instrumentalist, collector of Ukeleles & accordions, and of novelty & exotica records. The "Brabansonne" is Belgiums anthem, here played on a 70 years old uke, sung in Hawaiian. 25. Raf Coppens: "Keep On Fucking In The Third World" o home-recording "De Zesde Dag - radio show" o info: From a politically uncorrect satirical radio show. 26. Cliff Richard Imitator: "Living Doll" o home-recording "unknown TV show" 27. Luc De Vos: "Rain" o home-recording "French Quiz - radio show" 28. Group of Boy & Girl Scouts: "Rain And Tears" o home-recording "Spike - TV show" o info: A satirical Flemish TV series 29. Mac Freeman: "Abandonado" o album "Hammond Fever" o LP, Eurec EMF 506 stereo, Belgium, 1970's | ++ o info: Mostly cheesy Hammond EZ, but Abandonado (written by one J. Vanhoren) stands out as a classic bossa nova tune... though it resembles another bossa tune, but I can't think of the name. 30. Sandra Kimtergarten: "J'aime La Vie" o home-recording "unknown TV show" o info: Parodie of the only (I think) Belgian song to ever win the Eurovision Song Contest 31. Jos Mommen: "Da Doo Ron Ron" o album "Hit collection" o LP, ADS 419, Belgium, 1970's | + o info: Farmer/Accordion player. A couple of fun & sort-of-groovy covers, lots of schlager crap 32. Eddy Wally: "Baobei (edit)" o album "In 't Chinees" o CD, Telstar TSCD 4990-3, Belgium, 1994 o info: Flemish "schlager" singer #1. He performed in Las Vegas, and in China too. For that occasion, he learned to sing a song phonetically in Chinese, but the audience didn't understand a word. 33. Onzin: "La La La (edit)" o single "La La La" o 7", Monopole, Belgium, 1985 o info: Typical single issued for one of the many carnival festivities. The band's name "Onzin" means NONSENSE. 34. Tone De Plecker: "BRT2 Omroep Brabant signature tune" o home-recording "In 't Lieg Plafond - radio show" o info: This is how the real (almost extinct) Brussels dialect sounds like. 35. Magnificent Mortier: "Sabre Dance" o album "Continental superstar" o LP, CJMO Record RLP 772 stereo, UK, 1977 | +++ o info: Mortier was one of several famous Belgian "fairground organ" manufacturers. This 92-key organ was built in 1923. Musical arrangements by Arthur Prinsen, owner of the organ at the time of this recording. 36. R. Danneels: "In The Year 2525" o album "Cocktail Party N. 5" o LP, RCA Camden 900.072, France, 1969 | + o info: French record, but R. Danneels could be is a Belgian artist. One good tune only: "2525" 37. Johnny Gwendy: "Quando Quando" o album "The 15 years old wonderboy" o LP, A.D.S. 407, Belgium, 1970's | +++ o info: Sometimes, his Hammond sounds a bit like a Moog. Includes a heavy wailing version of "Ebb Tide", better than Al Anthony's. Great covers of Mambo Jambo, Quando Quando, Tico Tico; and also a couple of funny originals: Dancing cats, Happy Synthesizer... Unfortunately, also some very cheesy stuff. * You can hear more by this band in episode 2 & 12. 38. SMS Service Radio Commercial: "Amor! Caramba, una SMS!" o home-recording "Recorded from radio" 39. El Tattoo del Tigre: "Consternacion" o Album "El Tattoo Del Tigre" o CD, Munich Records BMCD 316, ?, 2001 | +++ o info: Mambo from Flanders. There's not much originality to be found on the CD, but they're a great party when playing live. They do no less than 4 Perez Prado covers, all precise imitations of Prado's arrangements; they also do "Bumble Bee", exactly the same way Prado did it on his "Prez" LP. The only difference is the sound quality, which is as brilliant as a recording these days can sound. They also try to imitate Yma Sumac's "Malambo"; it ain't bad, but no voice can match Yma's! Their version of Marcos Valle's "Crickets sing for Ana maria" again doesn't add anything new, so one wonders why they recorded it. It's a good thing they also choose some less obvoious songs, like "Consternacion". On 2 tracks ("Peanut vendor" and "Arrivederci Roma") they do show some arrangement adventure. 40. Vercruusse: "Mobutu ecrit une lettre (4)" o album "Berichten uit het vaderland" o see above mention of this record for more details. 41. Big Band with Louis Fiers at the Organ: "Du bist OK" o album "Gives you something special" o LP, Monopole, Belgium, 1970's | +++ o info: Brass plus Hammond again, and it rocks its nervous jazz rhythms all the way to a big finish! 42. closing tune: "Fantastica" Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening cheryls@primus.ca brian@phyres.lan.mcgill.ca # 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: Mimi Mayer Subject: (exotica) Lou Reed does Poe Date: 25 Nov 2001 10:22:46 -0600 Well, of course.

Well, to this day, I just don't get the subtle genius of the Free Design. But the intoxicating baritone of droopy-eyed Barton Lee Hazlewood and his poetic lyrics with the sinister edge were another story. It was only recently that I was able to find his early solo records, thanks to on-line sources. To this day, I've never seen them in a record store. I take that back - I did find one. Here is 1965's follow up to the brilliant Trouble is a Lonesome Town, which has been reissued on CD.

Saver's is a national chain of thrift stores. I guess there's big money in thrift store owning, who'd of known. Anyway, I had a 5 dollar credit at Saver's and I went in yesterday and they actually had some decent records, Les Baxters "Ports Of Pleasure" in Stereo, Anita Kerr/ Rod Mckuen's "Earth", Tom Dissevelt & Kid Baltan – "Song of the Second Moon" and Quincy Jones' "Gula Matari". The Quincy Jones looked especially interesting even though it was a bit beaten up. I can usually restore minor problems. Anyways, there are 2 rather long and awesome songs on the album. The title track (13 min.) and a tune called Hummin'(8 min.). The album is from 1970 and these 2 songs are remenisant of Basic Hips upload from 2 weeks back, "Music from the Adventurers", but none the less quite unique. If anyone would like to hear these I could probably upload them as mp3s, but be warned they'll be large even at a lower VBR sample rate. I think they'll be worth the time though and a nice addition to "The Adventurers". The other 2 songs off the album are not at all like these 2 and not worth the energy of up or down loading.

It's my fault. I guess the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here. These were recorded at a lower sampling rate of 22KHz, to allow the processing of noise reduction and various other operations to go faster on my outdated computer. So, aside from the variable bitrate encoding last week that a number of people had problems with, the only difference between this week's upload and previously successful ones are the 44KHz vs. 22 KHz. These are mono too, cuz the record is mono. I wonder if there is a way to change Toast to accept 22KHz. Anybody? (Roy :)) Looks like I need to stick with constant bitrate, 128 kbits, 44KHz. I never heard a peep out of anyone then. How bout the rest of you? Problems? No problems? Don't even bother? I'm no techie so your feedback is welcome.

I found 15 versions on CDR and I'm pretty sure I could find a few more if I went through the records that haven't been "digitized". One of my favorites is by an 80's band called "Naked Prey".

You can upsample the files with a program like Peak or Soundedit or export them from Quicktime at the required sampling rate. That will fix it. BTW if you are sampling at 22Khz you are compromising the fidelity a bit. 22Khz means an absolute upper frequency of half that ie 10Khz - well below the levels available to the human ear. Not that it matters too much after mp3ing them at 128Kps. Keep the albums coming though. They are a real weekly treat. Thanks.

I've just had a closer look at one of the files and it is actually encoded as an MPEG-2,layer3 file rather than as an MPEG-1,layer 3 file which is the normal mp3 encoding. This may be confusing some peoples playback and /or format conversions.

The backs of the Somerset label albums used to show a range of kHz that I thought went as high as 32. That may have been wishful thinking or false advertising, but that was the claim anyway.

I thought it was a songwriter-written standard, if you know what I mean. Jose Feliciano does a nice version on 'Feliciano!' ('68), but then I think all his covers are wonderful.

Smith,Bo Belinsky,Melanie Thornton,Passion Fruit Date: 27 Nov 2001 10:46:56 -0500 November 27, 2001 Norman Granz, Founder of Verve Records, Dies at 83 By RICHARD SEVERO,NYTimes Norman Granz, the gruff impresario who in 1944 created Jazz at the Philharmonic, a touring group that took the jazz idiom out of the smoky, noisy bars and dance halls and tucked it into sumptuous concert halls where it flourished, died on Thursday in Geneva, where he had lived, mostly in retirement, since 1959. He was 83. Mr. Granz also represented stars like Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson and championed their kind of music even though when he began, some critics attacked his musicians and their audiences as "lower-class swing enthusiasts." In all his Jazz at the Philharmonic presentations Mr. Granz emphasized that he wanted no dancing or unruly behavior when the music was played. He wanted people to listen, just as they might listen to Bach or Brahms. Mr. Granz was also the founder, in 1955, of Verve Records, with which he recorded the artists whose appearances he sponsored. Under his leadership Verve captured some of the finest jazz performances ever recorded. He sold Verve to MGM in 1960, and the label was subsequently taken over by Polygram. In 1974 he formed a second record company he called Pablo, named after Picasso, whose work he admired and collected and whose friendship he cherished. Although Mr. Granz never claimed to be anything more than an astute businessman — "If I didn't make at least $100,000 a year take-home pay, I'd quit," he boasted in 1953 — he was also a civil rights crusader. He sought to protect his many black musicians from the abuses of segregation and insisted that their concerts be open to blacks, no matter how segregated the city. He said he wanted to take Jazz at the Philharmonic to places where he "could break down segregation and discrimination." "I insisted that my musicians were to be treated with the same respect as Leonard Bernstein or Heifetz because they were just as good," he said, "both as men and musicians." Ray Brown, a bass player who for many years performed with Oscar Peterson, said: "The whole outfit was like a big family. Black musicians couldn't stay in decent hotels until Norman came along. People forget about what he did." Mr. Peterson never forgot. He named one of his sons Norman, after Mr. Granz. Mr. Peterson liked to tell the story of the time Ella Fitzgerald was about to be barred from riding in a whites-only taxi in Houston and Mr. Granz had strong words with a police official there. Fitzgerald got her ride. But in that same city Mr. Granz was later accused of running a craps game backstage, for which the police arrested him as well as Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie and Illinois Jacquet. Throughout his working life Mr. Granz played down his role as a foe of segregation. "I've never tried to prove anything," he told Downbeat magazine in 1952, "except that good jazz, properly presented, could be commercially profitable." Mr. Granz was an abrupt, acerbic man — Nat Hentoff, the jazz critic, once called him "the most stubborn and brusque man I have never known" — who was known to walk onstage when Jazz at the Philharmonic was on tour, announce the artists, then turn on his heel and vanish behind the curtain without bothering to introduce himself. He had a passion for jazz, for the people who played it and for the people who wanted to listen to it. "I give people in Des Moines and El Paso the kind of jazz they could otherwise never see or hear," he said proudly in the 1950's, when his musicians were touring as many as 57 cities a year. He began Jazz at the Philharmonic in Los Angeles in 1944 with Nat King Cole and a few others, but it eventually included stars like J. J. Johnson, Benny Carter, Mr. Jacquet, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Mr. Peterson, Sarah Vaughan, Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Buddy Rich, Roy Eldridge, Stan Getz, Flip Phillips and Zoot Sims. It toured the United States and abroad until 1957, when Mr. Granz discontinued the concerts, two years before he moved to Switzerland. For a time he also directed the professional activities of people including Jonathan Winters, Mort Sahl, Linus Pauling, Dorothy Parker and Shelly Berman. And he persuaded Fred Astaire in 1952 to sing some songs accompanied by Mr. Peterson and Charlie Shavers, recordings that jazz fans still prize. Mr. Granz was born in Los Angeles on Aug. 6, 1918. His parents had a store that failed in the Depression. As a teenager he befriended Lee Young, younger brother of the saxophonist Lester Young. Phil Schaap, a radio broadcaster who teaches jazz history at Princeton, said that through Lee, Mr. Granz gained entrance to jam sessions and thus became enraptured with the art form and excited about the possibilities of promoting it. Mr. Granz never played an instrument himself, Mr. Schaap said. After service in the Army Special Services in World War II, Mr. Granz attended the University of California at Los Angeles, where his major was philosophy. As a sophomore he talked the management of the Trouville Club in Los Angeles into letting him mount a jazz concert during the club's slow night. He insisted on listening only — no dancing — and an integrated audience. It was a success. After three years of studying philosophy, Mr. Granz came to feel, unphilosophically, that he wasn't hearing enough good music, and by good music he meant jazz. "I felt there was something lacking," he said. "Nobody was bringing together the great musicians." Cole was a fine jazz pianist who worked with a splendid trio but not yet a pop star when Mr. Granz telephoned him and suggested that he appear in concert in Los Angeles with Lester Young and Billie Holiday. He agreed, and they all appeared together in Los Angeles Philharmonic Auditorium. The occasion, besides providing good music, raised money for young Mexicans whom Mr. Granz felt had been wrongly arrested in the Zoot Suit riots of 1944. The concert was a smashing success, and within a couple of years an amorphous, ever-changing troupe of musicians and singers were touring the country under the aegis of Jazz at the Philharmonic. Mr. Granz paid all of them well. Fitzgerald, for example, earned $50,000 a year, then a tremendous sum, from the Jazz at the Philharmonic series alone. It was Mr. Granz who ultimately persuaded her to record her "songbooks" of the works of Cole Porter, the Gershwins and other great creators of American standards, recordings that kept selling into the next century. There were problems as well as triumphs. At one point Mr. Granz wanted Jazz at the Philharmonic to be booked into Kleinhaus Music Hall, owned by the city of Buffalo, in 1955. But the managers of Kleinhaus were not sure they wanted jazz there. Winifred Corey, director of the hall, said the last time jazz musicians came, "the crowd in the balcony" had "tramped their feet until you could almost feel the building shake." Mr. Granz, facing the prospect of sending his musicians into a rented movie house, canceled the concert, saying that a movie house wasn't good enough. Not for his musicians. After he started Verve, Mr. Granz began recording all of his stars before live audiences. Most people had never heard recordings made at live performances, and there were questions as to whether the public would buy such stuff. Manny Sachs, then the top jazz man at RCA, said that when he listened to Mr. Granz's recordings, all he could hear was crowd noise. His counterparts at Columbia and Decca tended to agree. But jazz buffs proved them wrong. Mr. Granz maintained that the executives at the big record companies never did understand how to record the way Verve recorded. "The major labels have never shaken that studio mind-set of control," he said. "They do a `live' album at Carnegie Hall, yet they put up a forest of mikes onstage. They balance, edit, filter and doctor the tapes. It ends up a studio date with the audience as a prop. It's all a fake." Mr. Granz is survived by his wife, Greta. He was often described as retired but never in fact retired. In 1998, after years of silence, he came up with a video showing Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins in the 1950's. Verve presented a gala at Carnegie Hall to observe the 50th anniversary of Jazz at the Philharmonic and Mr. Granz's accomplishments, but Mr. Granz, who felt he had never been given his due, did not attend and said: "They're 20 years too late. I'm not interested in that sort of thing now." In 1999 Oscar Peterson went to Lincoln Center to accept Mr. Granz's lifetime achievement award since Mr. Granz said he wasn't well enough to attend. Mr. Peterson said, "Norman had an unflagging will and dedication to change the bigoted and hurtful attitude of segregation he had to deal with below the Mason-Dixon line."

I like his early stuff too (WATERMELON MAN is a fave of course), and sure the gogo girl records are repetitious. But if they got "that beat," that's enough for me. My favorite later period one, his 1970 Atlantic LP, FEELIN' ALRIGHT, has smoking covers of the title track, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Sunshine of Your Love, Hip-Hug-Her, I Can't Get Next To You, etc. A veritable goldmine of funky latin soul.

There are maybe another four musical numbers and a plot that didn't make much sense -it included stabbings and flying in planes.

He did, for example, work for "The Partridge Family," including the rather jaunty little theme played over the closing credits at the end of the first season.

I bought their 2 lp's in 1982 and 1983 and didn't quite come to hear them until now. I remember they disappointed me at the time, because I was expecting something sounding like the Specials, the ska revival band that singer Terry Hall (and possibly one or both the other two guys of FB3) had just left, after a wonderful debut lp and a weak follow-up. Fun Boy Three shortlived, despite a minor hit with a version of "It Ain't What You Do It's The Way That You Do It" (backing chorus provided by Bananarama) and that their 2nd lp ("Waiting") was David Byrne-produced. I recall Terry Hall later founding Colourfield (their version of "I Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" has always been a floorfiller in my dj sets over the years) and then Vegas. Well, that's not the point actually. Point is that now their first LP sounds great! A mixture of exotica, pop, ska, and other blends I could not define clearly. Twenty years ahead of their time, I say. Anyone else has recently experienced the FB3 rejuvenation? And is Terry Hall still in the music scene?

I have a track on cassette which I don't know the name of or the artist. It is a groovy, mid-late 60's sound, punchy percussion with Hammond and piano backing which stops every so often with the interjection of a gruff male voice. There is a saucy narrative of sorts beginning with statements like "yes tonight.....tonight I meet you.....hallelujah" and ending up with "its the sound of Paris.....aaah oui-ah!....give me a light please". Its very groovy and i am gagging to get the details on it but so far to no avail. Also can anyone tell me if there is an album by Roger Mores, possibly called "the Sound Of...." on Vogue?? I have been searching for years for a track by him called "airhostess". His sound is quite similar to Horst Jankowski in his Zabadack/"Jankowski Plays Jankowski" period Must additionally give thanks for the tip off to "see the cheetah" by Big Game Hunters which i just came across yesterday. Very fine indeed!

Date: 29 Nov 2001 12:48:24 +0100 Does anbody by accident have this? Perhaps even Mr. Hip? History: Mrs.Miller gives her angle on the marajuana conspiracy by contributing to the soundtrack of this exploitation film classic. Produced by the legendary Mike Curb. Mary Jane 95 min, color - 1968 - American International Starring: Fabian, Diane McBain, Patty McCormick, Terri Garr Directed by: Maury Dexter This exploitation film about the evils of marijuana finds art teacher Phil Blake (Fabian) discovering some of his students are smoking pot. Although he admits to the students he tried it himself in college he is dumber than a bag of hammers about student drug use. Phil has eyes for fellow teacher Ellie (Diane McBain) until he discovers she is the main dealer along with the star of the football team. Susan (Patty McCormick) is all grow up from her appearance in "Bad Seed" and Terri Garr makes a brief appearance as a student. The film is a feeble attempt to cash in on the sensationalism of marijuana use. Richard Gautier co-wrote this unintentionally laughable film along with Peter Marshall of "Hollywood Squares" television fame. Marshall and Gautier prove with this feature they are two of the biggest squares in Hollywood.

Funny, that. FB3 happens to be an admittedly guilty pleasure of mine- if only for their quirky version of "Our Lips Are Sealed." But I know where you are coming from Jimmy, and I almost agree - except for the fact that so much of that stuff occupied my every waking moment during some formative years of mine. I can't help but have an affinity for it for all the wrong, but deeply heartfelt, corny, nostalgic reasons. And by some small coincidence, I have been mucking about filesharing services lately trying to re-awaken my memories of music to which I listened in High School. I had so completely disassociated from 80's New Wave that my recollection fo the genre was almost gone. As a result, I recently started streaming all the 80's New Wave I could muster (Even some of the REALLY rank stuff)It's turned into a rather popular stream on shoutcast - I have created a monster. Slowly I am tuning the playlist and weighting towards deep cuts and B-sides... Sort of the seemy underbelly of 80's pop culture. Anyone interested can search "feelthy" at shoutcast.com There is a modem and a DSL stream. I'd love to hear from anypone with suggestions and files to throw into the kitty.
