Subject: Re: (exotica) Garage sale season is nigh!
A few garage sales this weekend - not much, but what I did score
made it all worth it.
Two years ago, I was digging through a pile of records at a garage
sale. When I brought my treasures to the man with the panama hat and
the roll of bills in his fanny-pack he looked them over to price them.
He took one of the records, a belly dancing instructional album and
informed me curtly that it was in the stack by mistake and not for sale.
I could not persuade him otherwise.
This weekend I followed a garage sale sign right back to the scene of
the crime. As I pulled up, I told my wife about what had happened last
time. As I walked around, I did not find any more records, so I asked.
The guy (same hat as last time) said, "I only have one - some
old Belly Dancing instruction record." He was asking two bucks.
I was too happy to haggle.
The instruction booklet inside was worth the wait. Heloooooo
Princess!!

Subject: (exotica) Looking for a Beach Boys video
European Exotica-listees:
I'm looking for an OOP Beach Boys videodocumentary called "Beach Boys: An
American Band", it might also have an alternative title "25 Years Of 'Good
Vibrations'". The videocompany is Vestron Video and it was released in
1985, does anyone on this list (preferably European since the American and
European videosystems aren't compatible with eachother) have it on tape?
I'm completely broke right now but I'll try later to repay whoever offers
to tape it for me.....

Subject: (exotica) Caravan and beyond
Talking about covers of Caravan a while back, picked up Ska-boo-da-ba by the
Skatalites up last week. Originally issued on Top Deck in 1966, and
considered one of the best ska albums ever, this has just been reissued on
Westside in the UK. One of the tracks on it is an absolutely scorching
version of Caravan called Ska-ra-van. It also features a skaversion of
Arthur Lyman's "China Clipper".

Subject: (exotica) My addional 2 cents worth.
Sorry if I'm picking up a thread that has just about played out, but I
really enjoy the "scores" or "finds" that get posted. And if someone
does indulge in a bit of bragging, I, for one, am not bothered at all.
I feel like a lot of real emotion comes through when someone is sharing
their stories of success, and because of that, for me, these stories are
among the best things on the newsgroup.
I wind up feeling good for people who find great stuff, and these
postings usually inspire the hope that I can do the same thing.
Another quarter heard from,
Larry

Subject: (exotica) [exotica] Brother Dave Gardner
Anybody out there stumble onto Brother Dave Gardner yet?
He was a comedian/song and dance man in the 60's whose Southern drawl
belied a fierce wit and a crystal-clear understanding of human nature.
His take on the world was remarkably progressive and probably earned him
more than a few enemies in the charged atmosphere of that particular
place and time. His language is a combination of rural rube and city
slick all rolled into one mess. Imagine Jim Varney (Ernest goes to...)
Billy Graham and Lenny Bruce sharing the same body.
Unlike a lot of humor in the 60's, it still works, though a lot of the
imagery he conjures is deeply rooted in the time. Brother Dave did a
stint as fill-in host when Jack Paar walked off the "Tonight" show.
I found one of his records at a Salvation Army store, and could tell by
looking Picture of brother Dave on the cover looking ever-so smug (Kick
Thy Own Self, RCA, 1960 or so) that I was in for a treat. I have since
bought several others. I think the guy is frigging Geeeneeeeuuusss!
Rumor has it that he died penniless in the early eighties.
=======================================================
Wow! i just looked up Brother Dave in the All-Music Guide, and I guess I
share some psychic connection to the person who did the write up.
Here's an excerpt:
> Next to Homer and Jethro, the most successful Southern-derived comedian was undoubtedly Brother Dave Gardner. In the late
> 1950s and into the middle 1960s, Brother Dave's albums found themselves esconsed in record collections in far more urbane

>
> After recording a handful of semi-successful singles as a drummer/vocalist in and around his native Memphis (he had the

Hi all -
Just a note to let those of you within striking distance of Edinburgh
(UK) know that, as from Weds 4 March, DJ Bongo Boy ("hi!") returns
(after the demise of Space Safari last year) with a new weekly 5-hour
(ouch!) slot at the prestigious DOUBLE SIX CLUB here in Edinburgh.
The Double Six Club is on at the City Cafe, Blair Street every
Wednesday from 8pm to 1am - and it's FREE! The Double Six Club
is a "board games with easy listening" club which started in London
about 4-5 years ago but is now active across the whole land. The
Edinburgh 'branch' is their first foray into Scotland.
So if you fancy some Monkey Madness, Kerplunk, Giant Jenga or Twister
alongwith me providing the Space Age EZ-ness you know where to be on
Wednesdays from now on!

Subject: (exotica) Sitar
Just received a record from an Indian guy as in not "original American" but
waaaaaaaaaaaaay east.
"V. Balsara and His Singing Sitars - Golden Hits"
I was actually expecting another title but you don't want to give too much
away when looking/asking for weird LP's in general.
I was expecting Great International Hits but got Golden Hits instead on the
Indian "Odean" label, a subsidiary of those bastards, EMI
Actually quite nice exploitative weird psych-esque easy listening.
MUCH BETTER than the guy who invented the electric sitar's record, Vinnie
Bell's "Pop Goes The Electric Sitar" which is not that uncommon, sorry to
say, amongst KILLER GUITAR PLAYERS who backed up and played on ZILLIONS of
records to make more than a couple of shitty solo records themselves.
If Quiet Village wasn't on Vinnie Bell's "Pop Goes..." I'd have trashed it
long ago.
Another KILLER GUITAR PLAYER who played on ZILLIONS of records backing up
everyone and his brother in the 50's who made only 1 solo record that
ab-so-lute-ly sucks dogs is Mickey Baker and trust mew on this 1, I LOVE
Mickey Baker.
That guy was Un-be-lieve-a-ble w/ a capitol U
But this V. Balsara record, like I said is quite nice. It's gotta really
bright sound w/ bright bells ringing right along with the sitar.
I LIKE IT!
Titles; The Last Waltz, Yummy Yummy Yummy (I've Got Love In My Tummy), San
Francisco De Assisi, A Man Without Love, Bend Me Shape Me, Lara's Theme,
Guantanamera, Theme From "Come September", Roses Moonlight and One Little
Bottle of Wine, Acapulco 1922, Kiss Me Goodbye, Strangers In The Night.
Dated 1969 on the label! Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaa!
It's always nice finding ANOTHER record by some one/some artist that I
thought only had 1 record and on a completely different label to boot.
Now all I have to find is a 2nd rekkid by the Mindexpanders and I've got it
made @:-O

Yeah. It's called The Zodiac Club and there are a few super cool numbers
on the soundtrack score relating to it like Zodiac Blues and such.
The jazz sequences in the film feature Barney Kessel-Guitar, Jack

Jack Lemmon is REALLY playing the bongos on that score and in the film.

I guess this would be a good time to try to establish what exactly IS
Schlager. To my understanding it is a form of easy listening music,
often traditional (conservative?) and almost always wirh German
lyrics. As it has a reputation for being of marginal quality, I read
into this comment that the material on Get Easy Vol. 4 is good.
My suspicions are that the matrial from the 50's and into the 60's is
better than that of the late 60's and 70's, though for "exotic" value, I
need to hear more to make a better judgement. Certainly after hearing
Marianne Rosenberg, I realized that by 70's disco reared its ugly head
even into Germany! I'm looking to get Get Easy Vol4. Any other rcommendations
for more material, and other opinons on what is Schlager as well?

Brian

So I guess this CD sounds like a good buy - can anyone confirm this?

I have ".......Heat of the Night", and it's a very cool, sinister crime
jazz record. I have the theme to "Mr. Tibbs" on a UA soundtrack comp; it's
a groovy blaxploitation type of track. Never seen the album, so I've been
looking forward to this reissue. These new Ryko MGM/UA discs are enhanced
with QuickTime versions of the trailers of the films; if you have a fast
CPU, these things look incredible, almost 3 dimensional. They have a
special QT player you can download from the disc.

The material from 'Get Easy' (3 of the 4 volumes) is all from the late 60's
and 70's, as is nearly all "easy listening" from Europe that has been
reissued since the mid-90's. I don't know if the 50's/early 60's material
is better, but I doubt it, in the context of what the EZ scene is about.
You have to remember, exotica was pretty much a North American sound
(although the Japanese picked up on it early on). And as far as a revival
goes, thrift store hipsters in the U.S. were prone to picking up the
exotica and space-age bachelor pad records, while skipping over the
majority of the discotheque a go-go records that became the focus of the
sound in Europe, where the dance club scene has had much more of an
importance over the years (after all, the discotheque was a French
creation)
>I realized that by 70's disco reared its ugly head
>even into Germany!
Have you forgotten the great Georgio Moroder, whose Munich Machine teamed
with Donna Summer to reinvent the sound? Or how about Kraftwerk? Disco was
a worldwide phenonmenon, currently being reinvented again quite nicely by
the French.
> Any other rcommendations
>for more material, and other opinons on what is Schlager as well?
Schlager has nothing in common with the go-go sound being reissued these
days. Schlager has its roots in German beer hall music; it is a peppier,
more pop oriented kind of oom-pah sound, sung by popular vocalists. In many
ways, its the Teuton equivalent of country & western music, as it's
favored by truck drivers and the more working class type of folks.
For more of the go-go sound: - Scamp has a Peter Thomas Sound-Orchester
comp due this Spring (produced by The Millionaire), as well as 2 volumes of
The Sound Gallery; Motor Records from Germany has a cool Horst Jankowski
comp; Britain's Karminsky Experience has produced 3 volumes of "Inflight
Entertainment" and 1 Latin go-go comp; "Swinging Cheese" on the Irma label,
and Mood Mosaic Volume 4 : Les Yper Sound", both from Italy; or just scan
your thrifts and used record stores for LP's with pictures of middle aged
guys wearing nehru jackets and love beads on the cover, playing rock songs
you told yourself you never wanted to hear again (keep an eye out for
Deiter Zimmerman doing "Whole Lotta Love"; it could erase your mind).

Subject: (exotica) Throbbers
Hi everyone,
Just a quick diversion...
I just got done building two throbbers for my Netscape browser using
Denny's Exotica and Exotica 2 covers. For those who don't know, I am
referring to the annoying little "N" in the upper right corner of your
Netscape browser. I have made some things more interesting to replace
it with.
Is her name Sandy? I have her blinking those incredible eyes.
They are quite simple, really, but if you would like them for yourself,
reply and I will send them to you with instructions...They will work on
Netscape version 3 and they are each only about 120k bmp files.

The compilation that got me started was the Japanese 1991 release: "The
Exotic Sounds: The Very Best of Martin Denny" (EMI TOCP-6770). The cd
contains 29 tracks of Denny at his tiki room best. Some of the tunes
included: Quiet Village (original & moog version), Sake Rock, Jungle
Madness, Hypnotique, Mau Mau...you get the idea. The booklet includes
discographies of Denny, Lyman, Baxter (exotic only), plus a long list of
suggested listening. Which reminds me, has anyone ever heard "Water Melon
Group: Cool Music"?
Another first rate comp would be another Japanese release called "The Very
Best of The Exotic Sounds" released in 1989. This cd was released by EMI
(CAT No. CP32-5781). 27 tracks with about 50% being by Denny with the rest
by Les Baxter, Ethel Azama, Sondi Sodsai, Tak Shindo, The Beach Boys
("Diamond Head") & Russ Garcia.
Aloha,
Allan.

<< and i will add: if i was going to plop down $30 for an import CD reissue,
why wouldn't i pay that amount for a mint copy of the original on vinyl?!
that's not to say i haven't scored-top dollar shit for FREE at times... it
all balances out... >>
I apologize if I'm running late on this thread.....
But I will say this: it's great that the list members can actually buy stuff
for 50 cents or a dollar, because that's the only way one can afford to take a
chance and try out alot of new (or in our case old) music. I really hate
buying a CD for $15 and then finding out it is crappy, don't you? So even if
we can agree about time being valuable and that we are willing to pay such and
such a price for something - we also realize that the list members who do comb
the thrifts or garage sales are serving a very important function - they're
finding out about the stuff and posting whether it is good or bad on the list
and then people like me who can't afford the time to look for stuff cheap - at
least know whether or not we want to risk spending good cash for it when we
come across it at the record swap meet where I pay more than a few dollars for
something. I can't tell you how many records I've bought because somebody has
raved about it on the list.

Subject: (exotica) Help with "pirate" music please
Does anybody know the names of any "pirate" songs?? How about "sea shanties
(or is it "chanties"?) Or maybe recordings featuring same. (Pirate as in "Yo
Ho Ho & a bottle of rum"-types).
Just agreed to play a gig in a pirate costume (these are desparate times, say
what). How's that for "exotic"? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh!
Regards to all and thanks in advance for any help.
