Nice to hear that Tamboo was found in Brazil. I have a friend who found
Lymans Taboo in Sweden but the LP was made in Brazil.
I found an excellent brazilian LP at my favorite fleamarket a few days
ago, called Batucada. Made by students attending a Sambaschool. Wild
rythms, Philips, early 60s I think. It's great!

Subject: (exotica) NYTimes death of Lounge Pt.1
From The New York Times SundayStyles section 12/21/97
Style Over Substance: 007 in the Twilight of Lounge by Frank DeCarlo
Maybe it's true that "Tomorrow Never Dies," as the title of James Bond's
latest celluloid globe trot maintains, but trends do. And by sheer
overexposure, the whole martini-sipping, cigar-smoking, easy-listeneing
"lounge" thing of which Bond is king is being forced onto the critical list.
If an aching-to-be-hip Esquire cover story last spring didn't kill Cocktail
Culture, Agent 007 will do the job by Christmas.
Just say Dr. No!
The new movie, which opened Friday, is Bond as we've always known him.
Returning with the $350 million box office of 1995's "Goldeneye" under his
Brioni cimmerbund, Pierce Brosnan is the best actor to play the secret agent
since the original, Sean Connery. But the shamelessly excessive
cross-promotion of the film is the worst thing to happen to Ian Fleming's
chic superspy since George Lazenby found himself "On Her Majesty's Secret
Service" in 1969.
For at least a month, the tuxedo-clad patron saint os swank has been
shilling not just for such character-appropriate merchandise as sports cars
and liquor, but for such hoi polloi trappings as beer and debit cards. These
low-brow associations have left Bond purists shaken, not spurred to knock
back a couple of brewskis and pay for them with plastic. It's just not cool
to see the cuff-linked commander making like Ed McMahon everywhere you look.
The "Tomorrow Never Dies" marketing campaign is pushy galore.
Bond-related ads for Smirnoff vodka, for instance, show an overhead shot of
a martini in which floating lemon twists spell out 007. The tag line reads:
"How to relax and unwind after saving the world." Such would-be cleverness
plays right to the lounge sensibility -- that decidedly retro, almost
exclusively heterosexual brand of camp that worships Bond and, in the last
three or four years, has lent a bit of Las Vegas glitter to big-city
nightlife. But such a knowing wink from the mainstream often spells the
death of cool for an underground trend. Lounge's days are numbered.
In recent years, neo-hipsters in sharkskin suits and party frocks have
discovered the space-age bachelor pad music of Juan Garcia Esquivel and Yma
Sumac, embraced the faux exotica of Trader Vic's pseudo-Polynesian watering
holes (although not in time to save the Manhattan branch) and begun to drink
the classic libations their parents did -- the Rob Roy, the Negroni, the
Sidecar.

Subject: (exotica) NYTimes death of Lounge Pt.2
From The New York Times SundayStyles section 12/21/97
Style Over Substance: 007 in the Twilight of Lounge by Frank DeCarlo
They've made a household word of another international man of mystery,
Austin Powers, the title character in Mike Myers's delicious secret agent
send-up, now on videocassette; embraced the director Doug Liman's 1996 indie
film "Swingers," and dubbed Comedy Central's "Viva Variety" program must-see
television. Thsi month, they teetered their stiletto heels over to Rainbow
and Stars to see "Loungeville, Vol. 1: Music to Watch Girls By," an uptown
cabaret revue presented by the downtown scenester Joe McGinty. Forget Puff
Daddy: they've made listening to Percy Faith the thing to do in a Gucci suit.
But an overdose of interest in what used to be an underground movement
leaves early fans of the genre with a hangover. Who really needs two movies
about the Rat Pack? But two are coming -- one to cable, one to the big
screen -- and you won't be able to escape them. It was fun to indulge a
taste for Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme when the only way to hear "Tonight
I'll Say A Prayer" on CD was to order from late-night television. But now
that the First Couple of Cocktail Nation have recorded their version of
Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" for a CD called "Loungeapalooza," the thrill
is gone. Gorme grunge is like Bond beer: it's too calculated to embrace.
Plenty of people will think that that recording is ring-a-ding-ding,
however. But that's the problem. Having to share a passion for pop cheese
with Mr. Jenkins -- Tanqueray's ubiquitous mascot -- was anoying enough. Now
everyone will want to be a hepcat.
Of course, this was bound to happen. It does with every trend. With lounge,
the hippest of the hip began buying up vintage clothes and vinyl copies of
Martin Denny's "Quiet Village" and Herb Alpert's "Whipped Cream and Other
Delights" long before lounge was Lounge. They started hanging out at the
Dresden Room in Los Angeles, at Fez in New York on Loser's Lounge nights and
at dive bars everywhere. Record Companies picked up on the trend; the
Ultra-Lounge series of Capitol CD compilations and a plethora of imitators
were born. They proved an ultra-hit with those too happy for grunge and too
square for rap. Fashion got wind of things, and cocktail clothes became the
rage. The press wrote it up. The mainstream figured it out. James Bond
became a salesman and another trend was ruined, or at least co-opted.
The trendoids who started the whole thing in the first place, of course, are
now forced to find a new source of amusement. Some say hanging out in
bowling alleys is the next big thing. New ads for Bowlmor Lanes, that almost
60-year-old institution on University Place, would have you think so. They
show a woman in strappy, spike-heeled sandals bowling and losing her lace
panties in the process. The joy of bowling, though, is that *no one* who
wears strappy spike-heeled sandals and georgeous lace panties would be
caught dead there. If Bond girls have already found the place, and they've
brought their snappily dressed boyfriends with them, it's already too late
to take up the sport.

Oh, ppppppplp!
What a column filler that was.
Big money movies breed cross-promotion overkill! Ooh, stop the presses! Has

decades?
Bowling is the next big thing? Hey I read that in the New York Rocker back in
the early 80's, bucko.
I wish someone would explain to these NYC writers that west of the Hudson,
lounge isn't even a blip on the radar. Yes, you may find little scenes here and
there in the larger cities, but statistically speaking, it's still a tiny, tiny
drop in a big bucket compared to the Garth Brooks of this world (or fill in
mainstream star of your choice). I realize it may be a difficult thing for
loons like us to imagine, but for many (maybe even the majority of) people, the
universe of music is quite adequately represented by the racks at Wal-Mart.
"Lounge" is oversaturated. Oh, suuure.

What two movies is the guy referring to? He says they "are coming" so I
assume he is not talking about Swingers.

It's funny that that Esquire piece -- which (as those in here who
read it or were interviewed for it can attest) was not trying to be
anything but a report and sociocultural analysis -- is still engendering
ire among those who want to prove their hip bona fides.
My overall feeling was: if there's anything more tired these
days than dissecting the Lounge phenomenon, it's predicting the death of
the Lounge phenomenon. That young man should do a bit more reading before
he started writing.

Subject: (exotica) A lurker recalls *old* Demento show
I've been a lurker for a while, and just decided to share some thoughts.
I came across an Internet posting of old playlists for the Dr. Demento
show, circa 1972-3. I've attached some for reference (sorry for the
length). It reminds me that my introduction to unusual music was really
through that show at that time. I was a kid and where else was I going to
hear artists such as Moondog, Slim Gaillard, Ruth Wallis, Raymond Scott,
Edith Piaf, etc.? (By the way, it was the first place I ever heard
"Christmas Island," a great song on the UltraLounge Christmas Cocktails II
CD). That show also introduced me to genres such as western swing, delta
blues, "race records," real calypso, spoken word, boogie woogie jazz, etc.
God it was fun for a while, but degenerated terribly at some point,
particularly when the audience started submitting their own self-conscious
performance tapes and the show abandoned the classic stuff. Anyone else
have memories of when it was a good show? I haven't heard it for about 15
years now.
Perhaps this isn't really "exotica" stuff, but it's certainly some
Incredibly Strange Music.

These are included on the soundtrack to the musical "Flahooley". The
Sumac numbers are great, but the rest of the musical is not particularly
exciting (to listen to, at least). For Sumac fans, the soundtrack is
available on CD (Angel ZDM 07777 64764 2 1).
By the way, the company in the musical that manufactures the Flahooley
dolls is called "B.G. Bigelow, Inc." Any relation, Brad?

Subject: (exotica) The President's Analyst
I just watched (again) "The President's Analyst" (1967). Terrific 60's satire.
See it if at all possible. Stars James Coburn, loved by many on the list as
Derek Flint. I actually like him even more in this movie -- his character is a
bit less ridiculously superior; more human (Coburn gets to show off his
physical comedy chops in this one). Interesting cast overall, with folks like
Godfrey Cambridge, Severn Darden and Jill (Spider Baby!) Banner.
But I'm posting here because of Lalo Schifrin's usual boffo score. Fun stuff,
with lots of witty work. Like, imitations of the TJB (when cruising into the
Jersey suburbs) and industrial promo music (won't say where that's used --
spoiler potential). I'm pretty sure those are Schifrin pranks -- there is also
some non-Schifrin music used in the film, but that receives separate credit
(psych band Clear Light and Barry McGuire).
As William Daniels' character puts it when cranking up his hi-fi, "Total

Just as a completely pointless aside: that there dawg was painted at
a big old house just down the beach from the house where I was
brought up, in Paekakariki (... apparently).
But what I really wanted to say to y'all was MERRY CHRISTMAS
& MERRY NEW YEAR too!
(We've been told that any personal emails here will be read and
deleted, so I hope these Christmas good vibes get through!)
Have a jolly old time!

Subject: (exotica) specialist record shop finder
[ apologies for cross-postings ]
hi
after noticing several posts on this list (and others like it) asking about
specialist record stores in particular cities, we've decided to start
building a specialist record shop finder ... similar to the rotator locator
at hyperreal, but with broader musical parameters, a little more
interactivity, and eventually within the context of further 'specialist'
music-based services (reviews (as at http://www.state51.co.uk/motion),
online shopping, new media production etc.) ...
whilst we've started the ball rolling, the content for the shop finder will
come from people like you entering details of shops they know about. so
could we ask two things?
a) can you visit the site (at http://www.state51.co.uk/motion/services) and
tell us what you think (either click the email button or
mailto:shopfinder@state51.co.uk) of the service? (what's missing? what
would you like to see? how could it work better? what's good about it?!?)
b) submit details of your favourite shops! (and tell your mates to do same!)
hope you can help - the idea is to produce a truly useful service for all
those interested in music ... it'll only work with user interaction, so
when you get a minute (it shouldn't take long), visit it and tell us what
you think ...
thanks very much
dan hill.

Subject: (exotica) Latin Music Sources in NYC
Does anyone know of a record store in New York specializing in Latin/
South American recordings?
I am having trouble locating recordings by a late sixties/ early
seventies band by the name of Os Mutantes. Any info would be
appreciated.

Subject: (exotica) Stereo Workshop Series
After fruitless searching for a "Santa cap", I stopped in to a thrift store
and found the album cover for what appears to be a great album: Dynamic
Adventures in Sound, Mel Henke, WB BS-1447. I just got the Henke CD
recently made available, so I really wanted to get this record. NO RECORD!
Anyway, I learned this was part of an interesting number of LPs released
around 1962 by Warner Brothers: Stereo Workshop Series.
From the numbering, there were at least seven?
Three others listed:
BS-1441--New Perspectives in Piano Sound, David Swift (piano w/orchestra)
BS-1442--Ingenuity in Sound, Bradley Cole (dual Hammond organs!)
BS-1443--The 4th Dimension in Sound (jazz with, I believe, Shorty Rogers)
The album cover was a nice gatefold arrangement with some black and white
geometric designs.
Anyone discovered any of these, or others in the series?
Byron

My apologies. I didn't type what I wrote because I couldn't READ what I wrote.
Obviously it was Buddy Cole on BS-1442. Thanks to Jack Diamond for pointing
out my error.

Subject: (exotica) Sound Gallery
I admit that I can be amazingly slow when it comes to acquiring new releases,
so please don't hurt yourself laughing when I say that I just got "Sound
Gallery, Vol. 1". Super stuff. A wonderful mixture of elements you might not
expect to mix so well. And it's very, er, interesting to see that it's a "A
Jerry Cornelius Production". Glad to see he's finally found a gig that doesn't
(generally) involve assassination. ; )
Pardon a very geeky question, but was 90's technology used to fatten up the
bottom end for this cd? If not, I'm real curious about what they were using in
the studio when they cut the bass guitar parts on some of those tracks.
Extremely punchy and fat -- yum!
Happy holidays, everyone.
