I loved those dogs when they first came out. As much as I loved Keane Kid=

I can only agree on the condition that you are aware that these categorie=
s are very much a question of context. I guess this is the oldest discuss=
ion in modern art meanwhile and I even remember we discussed something li=
ke this in the exotica list a while ago. Context means: In 1985 you could=

I'm eager to see it.

Not for me. Art and music both proved to be very relative in a very compa=

vator music.

That's why I explicitely in the very same mail said: " I'm not saying tha=

 Kitsch: In my opinion Kitsch always implies a stupid repetition of somet=
hing that has been very popular before. The first success of a new idea c=
annot be Kitsch. Only when it is repeated over and over and stays success=

 don't think there is an absolute estethical definition of Kitsch, such a=

>From News of the Weird:

A February report in the Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat and Chronicle
described a local patient's remarkable recovery from botulism
paralysis at Park Ridge Hospital. The woman recently recalled that,
after the toxin struck her in June 2000, she lay in her hospital bed,
able to hear everything around her but unable to communicate in any
way with anyone, and that someone had erroneously said she was a big
fan of singer Celine Dion. After that, the hospital staff, in an
effort to aid the woman's recovery, played the singer's music in her
room around the clock for weeks. When the paralysis left the woman,
one of the first joys she experienced, she said, was stopping the
music because she actually never cared for Dion. [Albany Times-Union-

Like all the Dimension 5 stuff this is still available from Miss Nelson on
tape from the Dimension 5 web site.  You used to be able to email her
directly and buy stuff.  A very nice lady.
As far as I can tell,  none of the Dimension 5 recordings have been
unavailable,  they just became available on tape only.

They have the listen compute rock home CD as well.

Not sure I agree with Steve on this.  The well known bible of the (wannabe)
swinging single man of the early sixties 'Playboy' has tons of reviews each
week of this kind of music.  There are double page adverts full of sleeve
images of Enoch Light LP's.
Articles on the right kind of bar.  The right kind of Pipe.  The right kind
of HiFi. The right kind of breakfast to make the girl (if you had made the
girl).
Interesting to see Br Cleve's history from the inside, but I think the
association between the music and the 'sophisticated' lifestyle has been
there from early on.

Well, for the easy side more than the Exotica perhaps.

<snip>. In his pitch, he
referred to it as "Dad Music".

The labels eventually did do what he was trying to convince them
to do, but they slapped the "martini/cocktail lounge" image over
the top of the "Dad in the Rec Room" image to jazz it up and make
it an easier sell. That element of the whole genre is pure marketing
and sales pitch. It has nothing to do with the music.

See ya

I read this week in Newsweek that the Bozo TV show is ending, after an
unbroken 52 years run!!, the longest running children's television show
ever.  Bozo was always done on a local level (never on the network level),
which means that the real Bozo
you saw on your screen as a kid could actually visit you at your school or
library.  Bozo was your pal in a way that Big Bird or Ronald McDonald
couldn't be.  Bozo will be missed.  Sniff, sniff.
Larry Harmon owns the Bozo trademark, and has trained more than 200 of the
clowns over the years.  He plans to bring Bozo back in some modern
rapper/cyber/techno/Bozbot/interactive computer format.  YUCK.
BTW, Willard Scott was Washington's first Bozo in 1959.

> Are there many Bozo records?

Bringing up Bozo is like bringing up whistling records.  I get all excited,
so bear with me or delete now.  :)

There were bunch of Bozos.  Off the top of my head:

Bozo at the Circus
Bozo Under the Sea
Bozo and his Rocket Ship
Bozo and the Birds
Bozo on the Farm
Bozo has a Party
Bozo at the Dog Show

...and all the "Bozo Approved" records that were stamped with his seal of
approval.

These are all right up there with Rusty in Orchestraville and Sparky's Magic
Piano as all-time classic kiddie records.  But they are not just for kids.
These were some of the most imaginative, creative, entertaining, well
produced recordings ever made.  The voice of Pinto Colvig, wild and wacky
sound effects and music by Billy May.

Those of you skeptics sipping your martinis, lemme prove it to you by
pouring you a glass of Ovaltine and playing an MP3 sample.  Then tell me I'm
wrong!

Bozo records did come in 33-1/3 format, but these are reissues.  The best
way to enjoy Bozo is to aquire a Capitol Record Reader, which is a
combination of a colorful book and two 78 discs housed in a heavy cardboard
album.  You listen and read the book at the same time, flipping the pages on
cue.

These are now quite collectible.  Unless you are lucky enough to stumble
upon one of these wonderful sets in a thrift shop, you can find them on
ebay.  Current rate is about $15-40 dollars depending on condition.

Next time, we can talk about Red Raven Movie Records, although Bozo records
are far better.  Who here has the little carousel you stick on the spindle
to watch the "movie" ?

oh come on.. It would be a sad day in my world if the best I could do for
kicks was lie to fellow exoticats over vinyl scores and thrifts never seen
(though it does sound like fun...). Sorry to disappoint but my honesty is
intact here. I payed TWO canadian dollars for this one. It was in this big
junk store in Wiarton, Ontario and the old lady had the records separated
into ones that were 2 or 3 dollars and ones that were just 50 cents. I
bought several of the "more expensive" ones though I'm selling all those
save for the Bruce Haack. (the others aren't exotica).

I think the haul might look less impressive if you remember that it's stuff
I've grabbed over the past 6 weeks. I don't make these posts that often. the
2 most expensive ones were $15.00 US for "Right Through" and $25.00 CAN for
"The Glory Stompers" OST.

so, my integrity still intact? come on.. I ain't no liar.

exactly. That's why The Millionaire chose the to use that whole 'what kind
of man reads Playboy' feel and design for the packaging of ComEd (don't
forget, the first album was called "I, Swinger" and featured a cocktail with
subliminal nudie ice cubes on the cover, and a ComEd drink recipe on the
back)

an alcohol-related aside : when I played with The Del Fuegos in the 80's, we
had a Miller Beer sponsorship; when I played with ComEd in the 90's, we had
a Campari sponsorship. That's progress!

his album ôHit Instrumentals from TV Western Themesô, which happens to
feature a track composed by non other than maestro Esquivel, itÆs TALL
MAN THEME from the TV show by the same name (?). It is a righteous mix
of western arrangement with a rather exotic bunch of melodies and

thanks for the info on that, I never knew it existed. I got a videotape of =

episodes of "The Tall Man" on ebay awhile back, and the music is pretty
great. I didn't know there were any other versions of it out there. Esquive=

doesn't have a copy of it in his record collection, either.

Do you have "Sounds for Spies and Private Eyes"?  It's simply one of the
best records I've ever owned, even if you're not an exotica or TV jazz fan.
 Another very very good Al Caiola record is "The Power of Brass".  I like
his run-of-the-mill records but they're usually a bit too "eclectic" to
play all the way through.  But the two I mentioned are brilliant start to
finish.

Did we get an obit. for John Lee Hooker? Not very
exotic (though I hesitantly suppose he qualifies as a
pop artist), but a damned shame nevertheless. Not
many, if any, of the original blues artists left.

Well, it's not so impossible. Last year I found Haack & Nelson's "Dance To
The Music: A Participation Album For All Children" (includes the rightly
legendary "Soul Transportation") for a single greenback dollar. If I'm
lyin' I'm dyin'.

And today there were "The Best Of Martin Denny" (what a great backcover
photo), Baja Marimba Band's "For Animals Only" and Brass Ring's "The
Dis-Advantages Of You" for a dime each. There was also a Little Marcy
album, but in rancid condition, and Little Marcy terrifies me anyway.

Subject: (exotica) The Hula Hawaiians

Have we covered The Hula Hawaiians before? I don't recall mention of them.
There's a review of a new Bear Family compilation CD here:

http://www.vintageguitar.com/music/details.asp?ID=41

Excerpt:

"Imagine the year is 1946 and you live in Europe. You're a steel guitarist
and, naturally, you're really interested in Hawaiian music.  You don't want
to play this music all by yourself, so you find three other guys who are
interested, and voila! You're a band! That's simplifying things, but in
essence that's the story of steel guitarist Walter Roost and The Hula
Hawaiians, a terrific group of musicians whose repertoire included
everything from Hawaiian standards to swing/pop/jazz-flavored material to
downright rockin'/rhythm and bluesy numbers."

They certainly make it sound good. Anyone know more?

thanks,

Subject: (exotica) Vol. 10, Command

i have a copy of a Command Sampler here.... it is vol. 10.
the opening tune on side 1 is the old chestnut 'cheek to cheek'.
i've got to tell you, i think this evening for the first time, i 'heard'
enoch light!
there was a markedly high level of creativity, and it was _interesting_....
that's the best word i can conjure to describe the exotica/lounge material
that i *have* responded to.... it's interesting music, and when it works
its big fun to listen to.  i am feeling the elation of discovery at the
moment and, right now anyway, i'm really glad i decided to investigate this
dark corner of a time long past.  ah, the intrigue.... the powerful feeling
of wonder when you slowly extract a dusky gem from a public tomb of
mediocrity in a cardboard box at the thrift store as, fingers trembling and
eyes widening, you realise you have just found THE record... and that, for
a buck and a half.

i think i mentioned before, i like to bring the record home, put it on, and
proceed to research
its past on the net, while listening to it.  i am always amazed and edified
to see how much information exists on the most arcane and, some would have
it, trivial of matters and objects.

the version of 'cheek to cheek' on this record was, according to the liner
notes, done live at carnegie hall as part of a 'enoch light & orchestra
play irving berlin' concert, but i can hear no evidence of an audience at
all.... nothing.  anybody have this one, or know anything about it.....?
did light produce any live issues?

I'm not talking about "novelty music" as a genre. I'm talking
about stuff that is different for the sake of being different
with no other virtues.
