Subject: Re: (exotica) The punk/lounge connection
In a message dated 98-02-06 06:51:59 EST, you write:
<< But I'm sure I see the connection
between the punk ideology and the "lounge scene", whatever that is. What
is so "DIY/underground/anti-establishment" about lounge music? Much as I
like a Negroni, isn't the only anti-establishment cocktail a Molotov
cocktail? >>
I agree, back in the early days lots of stuff passed for punk like Cabaret
Voltaire (thanks for reminding me about them - they were pretty cool!), Pere
Ubu, etc. But the DIY/underground/anti-establishment" aspects have been
discussed many times on this list - see late last summer's archives on "lounge
attack" esp. Randall Rothenberg and Ashley Warren's exchanges. The DIY
aspects are plain to see: Fanzines sprung up dedicated to lounge music,
deejays started underground lounge nights at established clubs, and
independent labels came about to market old lounge music (re-issues). Lounge
fashion is a sort of anti-fashion/retro thriftstore look which is the same
source for early punk fashion. During the "lounge attack" series we all
discussed the fact that the establishment rock press hates lounge and has been
"attacking it" because it is the antithesis of alternative rock (now
mainstream pop music) culture.
I'm sure there's plenty of people on the list that could elaborate on these
points.

Subject: (exotica) The Single Eye Playlist for feb 8, 1998 (with comments)
The Single Eye can be heard every Sunday between 4 & 5 pm on CKUT 90.3 fm
in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was suggested that comments might be a good
idea for those of us who post playlists, so here goes...
Andre Popp: Mon Amour, Mon Ami "My Way of Music"
I found this record in a Salvation Army shop for $0.50 last week. Overall
the lp is rather bland, but there are one or two good tracks.
The Burtons: McArthur Park "Hybrid Kids"
...since everyone on the list was talking about versions of this song,
so...
Kid Koala: Taboo Soda "Scratchhappyland"
Montreal-based DJ gives Arthur Lyman's version of "Taboo" the scratch
treatment.
Tom Recchion: The Perpetual Motion Clock "Chaotica"
Try to imagine every record ever mentioned on this list skipping and/or
looped.
Tim 'Love' Lee: Badder Bongo "Confessions of a Selector"
Tipsy with big beats.
Synthesonic Sounds: Superfly "The Easy Project"
'nuff said
Isaac Hayes: Theme from Truck Turner "Badmutha's"
some of the "18 Black Movie Hits" on this cd includes themes from "Shaft",
"Cleopatra Jones", "Foxy Brown", "Trouble Man" etc. Recommended.
Jimi Tenor: Love is My Game "Outta Space"
Surprisingly funky for a Finn.
Jake Slazenger: The Big Easy "Das ist ein Groovybeat, Ja"
Jake is U-Ziq's Mike Paradinas.
Kraftwerk: The Model "The Man Machine"
an old favourite
British Standard Unit: D'ya Think I'm Sexy "Hybrid Kids"
ummm...better than the original
Air: Sexy Boy "CMJ New Music cd"
I haven't heard "Moon Safari" yet, but based on this track the group is
more Soft Cell/Suicide than
lounge, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Kvantett O. Jonson & Grjoni: Timi i Rimini II "Karnival i Texas"
Kvantett O. Jonson & Grjoni: Magnificat "Karnival i Texas"
Outstanding instrumental music from this Icelandic outfit. Combustible
Edison's "Spy vs Spy" meets Link Wray in the desert...no, that's not quite
right.
The Gentle People: Travel Bug "Soundtracks for Living"
ending with an EZ glide.
Until next time,
Allan.

Well, yes... and no. Fanzines, clubs and independent labels are
definitely
good things and very important, but, really, ALL musics have them, and
in
that respect lounge is no different from, say, progressive music or
death
metal. What made punk different was that it wasn't just another
"listen-to-
obscure-records-that other-people-don't-like" thing, it was also very
much
a "play-your-own-music-even-if-other-people-don't-like-it)" thing. Punk
made me go out and buy a guitar, but how many people have started
tinkling
the ivories because they heard Martin Denny? OK, a number of people may
have bought a theremin because of the lounge boom, but the scale of the
punk movement was so different.
As for the establishment rock press, I don't know about the US, but the
UK rock press (I used to live in Sweden where there wasn't any rock
press
to speak of at all, so we always bought the British papers) certainly
didn't
hate punk -- it was all they wrote about for a couple of years!

I have been pleased with the two "Talkin' Verve" CD's I have bought..Willie
Bobo and Cal Tjader, Tjader also being a "Roots of Acid Jazz" title. But
rather than "Roots of Acid Jazz" shouldn't Acid Jazz be the heir of its
richer roots? I don't know, but the roots label makes it sound like Tjader,
Smith et al were trying to find a sound that finally was developed into Acid
Jazz after much effort, when actually Acid Jazz is derivitave and not
developmental in nature...Can I get a witness?

this wacky recording by the star of Ed Wood's infamous PLAN 9 FROM OUTER

of nudity for the human body will be glorified! Body design, self-
painted, will take up most of your spare time! Women will decorate their
breasts in startling colors, while men will decorate their genitals! Those
who
are politically orinated [sic] will print body slogans on themselves and this
will take place [sic] of the present-day bumper stickers! I was not allowed
to say [this] on television, radio, or in my column, as the advertisers would
clomp down on me, and clomp VERY heavily." Huh? $14.99.

Indeed, I have had similar thoughts. It seems like these various labels'
marketing departments determined that having the "acid jazz" brand on the
packages will move X% more units, especially with such-n-such age group.
"Hey, kids, get new *ACID* Jazz! It's HIP! It's NOW! It's WOW!!!"
(sorry, lemme turn down the sarcasm-a-tron)
(and lest anyone be offended, I'm not slamming acid jazz, just market-think)
This is much in the same manner that "lounge" has been affixed to so many
releases the last few years.
On the other hand, some fun comps have come out of it (along with some duds). I
guess we just have to block out the packaging (if one finds it offensive) and
focus on the music.

Thanks to a conversation with Jonas at the excellent shop Subliminal
sounds & stuff, I bought an album by Dr. Seuss the other week. It was on
RCA Camden and the tracks were "Horton lays an egg", "The Sneetchers",
"The Zax", "Too many Daves" and one more that I dont recall. I was just
wondering if someone of you know how many more LPs there was with this
guy, and maybe some Dr. Seuss - story because I like this a lot and I
dont know very much about childrens records...
The music is by Marty Gold, and the feeling I get when listening is
something like a Ken Nordine album for kids.

Yes! They finally cleared up our old business and sent me a big nice

Subject: (exotica) German "Schlager" Pop
Hello:
I haven't had much time to read and post to the list over the last months
but I have to finally participate in this subject as it seems to finally be
building up some interest on the list. I remember some time back
asking about the topic of "Schlager" and feeling, after the fact, that I
had opened up a topic that nobody wanted to deal with, in addition to
one that was deeply offensive among Germans. I don't want to discuss
it as serious music but only for the "exotica" value as we do on his list.
I'm still curious as to how Heino fits into this whole scheme of things
but as his name seems to have caused the strongest negative reactions
in the past, I won't force the issue...
> I liked "Get easy 4: the German Pops collection" (Motor, germany) a lot
> better than the "French collection"
This one stood out back when Johan posted his releases of the year.
I haven't found it yet but am in the process of looking. I notice
there are more releases that I must check out on this label. What of the
ZYX "decade" samplers of "Schlager "1950's, 60's, 70's & 80's? Does
anyone know what's on them or a source to get them?
> * Klaus Wunderlich's version of Mancini's "Baby elephant walk", which is
> very true to the original Mancini sound and yet very different and original.
I have this Klaus Wunderlich "Moog" record I picked up a few years ago.
Is this the source of the track? I get the impressiaon KW is Germany's
answer to Liberace! He certainly "looks" like Liberace...
> * Hildegarde Knef with a slow funk number; if you like low, smokey, female
> vocals, then check her out.
I have been given the names of a few artists to look for, by what I consider an
extremenly reliable source on the subject, one one of those artists being
Hildegard Knef. The others: Manfred Krug, Uschi Olas, Christian
Anders, Francoise hardy (in German) and Daisy Dor. Also, but of older
vintage: Caterina Valente, Peggy March, Conny Fioboess and Ulla
Nielssen. Does Anyone know anything more about any of these names?
(Sorry if I've spelled any names incorrectly but the list arrived hand written)
Regards,
Brian

Subject: (exotica) Burt Bacharach
This may be a bit off the subject, but I heard several months ago that
Rhino Records was putting together a Burt Bacharach boxed set.
I have been keeping my eyes open and haven't seen anything yet.
Does anyone know what's going on with this project?
Thanks.

yyyyyyeeeaaahh nice to see someone else remembers them!
trivial poop follows
"A Taste of Pink" (in true Beatles style, all recorded & mixed in one day)
was the Prisoners' first album, back in late 82. The one that gets my vote
though is their third, "The Last Forefathers", which came out in 85 (in
mono- dig it!) around the time I used to go see them a fair bit. Great band.
Lucky I kept those live tapes.

Subject: (exotica) Esquivel Christmas album
Hello there.
I recently saw a reference to an Esquivel Christmas CD that supposedly came
out a couple years ago.
I have never seen this anywhere but if it exists I must find it!
Is this true? If so, how is it?

Hi,
This is the soundtrack to the "film" _Four Rooms_, which is actually a
collection of four short films by four different directors (Allison
Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino). The
four stories take place in four rooms of a hotel on New Year's Eve, and
bellhop Tim Roth provides the glue that connects the four. ComEd did
original music for the film, plus some of their songs from _I, Swinger_
are on there (Millionaire's Holiday, Breakfast at Denny's). In addition,
there are a couple Esquivel tracks on the soundtrack as well (Sentimental
Journey, Harlem Nocturne).
I think the soundtrack's pretty good--there are a couple of choice ComEd
pieces on it (Junglero, Eva Seduces Ted). As it is largely incidental
film music, many of the tracks are very short (a minute or less); there
are 29 tracks altogether. The film, though, was a letdown for me: I liked
Rodriguez's piece, and Tarantino's was okay, but the rest was
disappointing (even Tim Roth, whom I normally like).
Other opinions and/or clarifications?
Rob

"Merry Christmas From The Space Age Bachelor Pad" BarNone AHAON 083
Yes, it came out in October '96; it was available through Christmas that
year and again last year. It was only available (legally) in the U.S., due
to BarNone's license with RCA/BMG. Most stores only carry it during the
Xmas season and then return them. We noticed that many stores were filing
it with the Xmas CD's and not with the other Esquivel ones, which is why
you possibly didn't find it.
You can get it from BarNone via mail order; info is at their website and in
the booklets to the current batch of Esquivel 2fers.

Subject: (exotica) Ernie Morricone
Hi all,
I am temporarily suspending my read only status to tell about an Ernie
Morricone CD that I found. I apologise if this is as common as dirt, but I'd
never ever seen one. "Un' ora con/An Hour with Ernie Morricone", 1993. The
printing on the CD is all in Italian, so I'm not even sure of the song titles.
All I can translate is 'the good the bad and the ugly' and 'a fistfull of
dollars', and maybe 'holocaust 2000'. (I can't tell if that is a song or a
movie). I really dig this disk. Fun for the whole family. Even my 4 year
old son, who has never seen a spagetti western knew that the first cut was
about cowboys and indians. Isn't it great how music can really paint a
picture in your mind?
Anyhow, I was wondering if all his stuff is as good as this compilation, or if
there might even be some better, more obscure EM out there.
BTW- I bought two copies, so if anyone wants to trade something, I'd be happy
to swap.
Rocco
