Subject: (exotica) Sexual predator at LAX

This will only concern those of you planning to go to the Encounter (lounge
club) at Los Angeles Airport.  There is a rapist hanging out there and has be
credited with 5 attacks so far.  He jumps out of the elevators in the parking
garage or hangs out in the stairwells and usually strikes at off-peak hours.
So if you are a woman planning to go to the Encounter, avoid parking on the
upper levels (which would force you to use the stairs or elevator) or bring a
male companion.

Hildegard Knef was a famous German actress whose prime was, I believe the '40s
and '50s, the track on the Get Easy Vol 4 collectiion is a weird psuedo-
psychedellic (more in lyrical subject matter than music) similar to Peggy
Lee's hip "comeback" single "Is That All There Is."

Francoise Hardy did a number of albums in German and as well in Italian, I
believe, as during the '60s it was both very trendy and very commercially
astute to selling records in the respective countries.

Most of the other artists do fall into the "Schlagger" category -- sort of the
German versions of MOR popular singers who to the youth were considered about
as kitschy as say an Englebert Humperdink was to America/the UK.

One of my favorite kitschy/shlagger singers was Freddy Quinn whose singing
persona was pretending to be this "I've seen the world" Hamburg sailor. I
particularly love the few songs where he tries to be "hip" and sing in English
"I've got the blues tonight, I've got bad news tonight, Mah baby's gone and
I'm so alone with those doggone lonesome blues" in a voice that if you ever
wondered what a Hamburg resisdent trying to sing like a Dallas Teaxan might
sound like vocal!

The Four Room soundtracks is a real treasure and worth owning, and best

I too would be interested in knowing of a good Ernie Morricone comp.  Or even a
good comp of his brother's stuff.  All I have is a disc called Legendary
Westerns Volume II: Ennio Morricone, or something like that, which has most of
Fistful and A Few Dollars More, plus some other tunes, but overlooks the obvious
GB&U title track and many other good tunes.

Any suggestions?

I own and would recommend the Rhino Records compilation:

        Ennio Morricone: "A Fistful of Film Music"

It's 2 CDs, has all the "classic" Western tracks and lots of obscure stuff
too. Great booklet.

I am quite fond of the ultra-lounge compilations and
think they are a great way to "seed" an interest in lounge/exptica.
I guess your reaction to them will be based on what flavor of
exotica you favor - These tend to favor highly produced
pop music - Very kitshy/Campy Hollywood stuff. If you are looking
for Now/GoGo/Electronica, you will be sorely disappointed.

Of particular interest to me were the "Mambo Fever"
and "Organs in Orbit."

 vol 1 is a great sampling of true exotica
 vol 2 is a good to ok latin beat/mambo sampler
 vol 10 is my least fav of the ultra lounge series - i keep expecting Jerry
Lewis to start               singing.
 vol 11 is MY MOST FAVORITE OF THE ULTRA LOUNGE SERIES -  if you like organ
music this cd is a must!!!!!  (Funny, i just read a note from someone on the

and "Mr. Ghost Goes to Town" is a blast.)

Subject: (exotica) Mark 56* Records, etc.

Is there a partial label discography for Mark 56 records anywhere? I'm
trying to build up my promotional record collection and would like to know
what to look for.

These are the ones I already know about :

Tijuana Today for Pet Ice Cream
Tijuana Taxi for Acme Supermarkets
Tijuana Taxi for Der Weinerschnitzel
Tijuana Party for Pizza Inn
Colonel Sanders' Tijuana Picnic
Taco Bell presents Tijuana Taxi
Alpha Beta presents Tijuana Brass
Tijuana Brass at Pizza Connection
Squirt Does Its Thing in Semi-Soft Style (or something like that)
Eating at the International House of Pancakes with Captain Kangaroo
Good Humor Ice Cream Presents Real Cool Hits by the Avengers Six
Some Moon Landing Thing for Arby's I forget the title of

Yeah, I know, they're mostly the same record repackaged and repackaged. ^_-

I'm also interested in hearing about any other strange promo albums--I've
been obsessed with these things ever since I did a presentation on 'em for
an american studies course.

I just got one for Gilbey's Vodka and Gin--mostly Living Series stuff, but
what a package! A beautiful gatefold cover with pics of colorful drinks--and
there's even an insert to order more copies! "Music to Use the Trim-Twist
By" is another fave--with tracks like "Fatty Tissues Delight" and a scary
cover (triple-exposed action shot of blissed out woman trim-twisting), it's
a keeper. I have a friend who actually has one of these things--only it's
from the 70s so it has a different name. That same friend recently gave me a
copy of "Ali and His Gang vs Mr. Tooth Decay"--oh boy, is that one a
classic! Believe it or not, the music in some parts is really really good.
Mr. Tooth Decay gets a fuzztone guitar/boogaloo percussion theme, there's
some Sesame Street style moog music, and a weird blues guitar riff while Ali
does one of his fight poems ("I'm so bad....I murdered a rock..."). All
this, and it's dedicated to Lily Tomlin too. ^_-  So unless you're a big
George Foreman fan, get yourself a copy.

Thanks for the space, Jessica ^_^

I have listened to all the Ultra-Lounge CDs, and reviewed them in my
zine called Cannot Become Obsolete.   I've decided to reproduce my
ratings here for hopefully your benefit.

This rating system is totally subjective, somewhat anal, and applies to
CDs only. I have a stereo with remote control and I lied on my couch
with headphones on and imagined I was on the Gong Show or giving out my
own Olympic style ratings, which are:

"4"  Outstanding Song:  One that gets you feeling so good you hit the
repeat button over and over again

"3"  A Good Song:  One that is enjoyable, but you're ready to move on
when it is finished

"2"  Average:  It may have its moments, but it doesn't really excite or
move you.

"1"  Disappointing/Annoying:  You wonder when the song will end, and are
ready to hit the forward button at any moment to move to the next song

"0"  Absolutely Terrible:  In your opinion, no redeeming qualities.  Hit
the forward button quickly.

In my view, a CD made of of mostly "3"s and "4"s is worth owning.  The
more "1"s and "2"s that are on the CD, the greater the chance of me
listening to only a few select songs versus letting the whole CD play
out.

So here it is, almost every Ultra-Lounge song reviewed

The song appears on the Fifth Dimension's UP, UP AND AWAY album, which is
excellent, probably their best, filled with Webb songs, and available at a
thrift store near you for fifty cents.

Zumpano may talk about Bacharach and Webb, but to me they sound a lot more
like The Zombies...but there's nothing wrong with that! (on their first
album they sound sometimes like The Three O'Clock too)

Which would include 20/20 and the most gorgeous Carl Wilson vocal and
production on "I Can Hear Musc".

Most Beach Boys guitar playing that we hear on records was done by Tommy
Tedesco, also recently deceased. Later, Glen Campbell also contributed.
Carl did play guitar in their live shows.

I apologise profusely for messing up Mr. Morricone's name.  I usually am a
'detail' guy.   Being of Italian descent myself, I should have known.  I even
have an uncle Ennio.  I like to call him Ernie too.

here's a picture of me, with dunce cap      <:-)

Subject: (exotica) punk

I know I'm a little late on this thread, but I tend to let my
exotic-digests pile up before I read them.

I guess I considered myself a punk when I was in middle school and high
school, though I was "punk lite" - no mohawk, though I did Manic Panic
my hair into all sorts of unnatural colors.  (Actually, I did get
semi-serious at one point, listening to a lot of Crass, reading Slug and
Lettuce and planning to join the Anarchist Youth Federation).  Since it
was circa 1989, at some point I morphed into some kind of indie-rocker,
and along the way started reading and making zines, being more
interested in underground and DIY culture(s), and reading various
RESearch books, which led to reading Incredibly Strange Music vol.1,
where I noticed mentions of a few things I had borrowed from my parents'
collection... thus reconciling my indie-ness with my love of Astrud
Gilberto etc. and prompting me to actually buy some of the records I
tended to see at thrift stores.

Oh, and at some point I actually did read at least one issue of Flipside
(and way too many issues of Maximum Rock and Roll).

Actually, I have been known to get into conversations with other people
my age (I'll be 23 in two weeks) about how we learned about the music we
liked through a process of exploration, making us somehow superior in a
sense to "today's kids" who like ska or whatever because they saw a
video on MTV, and not because they found out about it through reading
fanzines, scouring thrift store bins, and learning about a bunch of
other musical and aubcultural genres along the way.  At that point I
feel prematurely old and grumpy and I shut up.

- -Jordana
(who has also in her life been "goth lite" and "psych lite," among other
things)

Subject: (exotica) two questions

1.  Does anyone know of any on-line (like RealAudio) recordings of Free
Design?  It sounds like something I might like.

2.  Can anyone describe the movie _Von Ryan's Express_?  It's apparently
being released with the other Goldsmith soundtracks from the two Flint
movies, and those are two of my favorite films.

Thanks,

Jordana

You can hear this NOW, if you have real audio. They have other formats
available as well and I question their taste in some cases, however, there are
things here I haven't heard.

Owwwwch. Owwwwch. Owwwwch. :)

So if Taco, Falco and Heino were to sing as a trio, what song would you
give them?

Eb

I think they should cover "Spice up your life" as a bossa nova with Edyta Gorniak on backing vocals.

I don't know about a real audio stream, but they harmonise pop songs in =
a cheesy Stereolab (the harmonies) sort of way. Theyre on Project3, so =
you'll have good arrangements and people like Tony Mottola playing =
guitar here and there.
