Subject: (exotica) Secret Cinema's IT'S A SUNSHINE DAY! (in Philadelphia)

The Secret Cinema produces sixties-themed music night
IT'S A SUNSHINE DAY!

Tritone
1508 South Street (across from Bob & Barbara's)
Philadelphia =B7 [phone]

The Secret Cinema will present another themed multi-media/music event on
Saturday, August 11, when IT'S A SUNSHINE DAY! happens at Tritone (formerly
Bennie's). The night, which will include a live band, a d.j. and
multi-media projections, is a celebration of two subgenres of 60s rock:
sunshine pop and bubblegum.=20

The night starts at 10:00 pm and admission is $5.00.

Sunshine pop is melodic, harmony-drenched music, both "soft" and other, A
LA The Association, The Beach Boys, The Millennium, Sagittarius, The Yellow
Balloon, The Free Design and many others. These groups (as well as such key
sunshine pop auteur/producers as Brian Wilson, Curt Boettcher and Gary
Zekely) have received a lot of attention lately, particularly from Japanese
"soft rock" connoisseurs.

Bubblegum, of course, was the primitive, throbbing, elementary-school-beat
brand of rock created by producers such as Jeff Katz and Jerry Kasenetz, Bo
Gentry, Ritchie Cordell, Jeff Barry and others, resulting in hit records
for such artists and studio-created concoctions as Tommy James, The Ohio
Express, The 1910 Fruitgum Company, The Archies and many more.

Jay Schwartz, creator and programmer of The Secret Cinema, will serve as
d.j. for the night, bringing the best of these two sunny styles of music --
including many vinyl rarities.

The live portion of IT'S A SUNSHINE DAY! will be provided by Philadelphia's
own The Snow Fairies, making their club debut. Rising from the ashes of The
Skywriters, The group's upbeat pop can be heard on a CD coming out this
month on California's Black Beans and Placenta label. This show will launch
The Snow Fairies' first tour, which will take them throughout the Midwest.

To fully justify the Secret Cinema designation, the S.C. 16mm film
projectors will be in the house to provide pop-art projections, both as
silent "action paintings" to accompany recorded music, and to show some
surprise film clips (with the sound turned on).

Tritone, the city's newest musical nightspot, was recently known as
Bennie's (where the Secret Cinema presented the "Friday On My Mind" party
and the film RECORD CITY). In addition to serving up music and drinks, the
club's new kitchen is serving dinner and snacks daily from 5 pm until 1 am.

I saw Star Wars as a young teen and liked the music. When I bought the
soundtrack and read the linear notes there were references to Holst "The
Planets" and Wagners ring cycle. Because of John Williams I started
listening to classical music. Strange huh?

It must be hard for movie composers. Don't they have to work and complete
scores in a very short time? Not like traditional composers who can wait the
mood to strike. I really admire people who can do that. And often create
great music.

In my Yahoo briefcase: Johnny Williams "Make me Rainbows" from the movie
Fitzwilly.

Subject: (exotica) "Music For Gracious Living"

Picked up two beautiful looking LP's..

"Music For Gracious Living" Seems this was a series. I have "Foursome" and
"Barbecue". The photos are beautiful. Especially the furniture on Foursome.
Classic Eisenhower era living room set. And the back of the LP has recipes!
Really captures that idea we have of the 50's.

The music is by Peter Barclay and is your standard  EZ fare. Curious to know
what the others on the series "Buffet", "After the Dance" and "Do IT
Yourself" look like.

These are on the Columbia label. And are they related to the "Music for
Better Living" series have heard about? Where Peter L got the name for his
show?

Another crazy story. Over at WJUL we have a program called "Players Prepare
Your Pianos" Hosted by this cool chick, DeiX. She plays Raymond Scott, Ken
Nordine and goes into the avant noise stuff.

Show up a few weeks ago and got a chance to meet her husband Mark. He's more
into this stuff than she is! They both wear cool old glasses. It's just so
cute! So happy for them that they have so much in common.

One of the CD's they have? "Music for Gracious Living"! The comp that came
out a while ago. He tells me a friend turned him on to Cool and Strange
Music Magazine and he won a contest and got the CD through them.

I won one of those CD's myself.....It was just...well..... cool and strange
to meet someone else who won one of the 25 CDs in the contest.

We both agreed that the CD had it's good moments but had lousy stuff too.

Subject: (exotica) Two websites and a couple of new finds

Following up on that thread for Commodore 64 game music, I found a site that
specializes in such things and has a lot of material available for download.
All files are in .mid (midi) format, which means they are small, since they
carry only the midi instructions and not the music which your PC soundcard
synth plays when you load them. Listening to them, I'm reminded of Mark
Mothersbaugh's "Musik for Insomniaks" CDs , two long time favourites. Look
at:

http://www.server64.com/contents.htm

The other website I discovered while looking for Psychedleic Screensaver
updates. It's a site that consists of simply a realaudio feed which sets
you up with 1000 titles to choose from, and plays them for you. Maybe not
the most interesting thing, until you realize the music is just the kind of
thing
most of us would like to hear, as the list of examples on the front page
indicates.  I noticed the feed broke off both times I used it after 6 or 7
tracks but it may have been my conection. Check this out at:

http://www.weirdsville.com/


Now for the new find... I was doing my usual bi-weekly auditioning at the
one store here that regularly buys weird vinyl, and after 7 for 7 rejects,
the
8th one caught my ear. Of course it was the most expensive of the lot, and
typically
this is one of the signs (at least in this store) that the record is good.
Now that I've since bought it and listened a bit more, I'm still puzzled as
to exactly what it is, especially since it is on Columbia and dating from
1968. Of course how soon I  forget this was the label that also issued Harry
Partch as well as Beaver & Krause.  The record  is called "Rock and Other
Four Letter Words:"" by J. Marks and Shipen Lebzelter.  It is supposedly
based on the book of the same title by J. marks from 1965. It's at the
experimenal edge of things, particulatly for that era, in fact if anything
it looks to be the inspiration for Negativland, in its taking the real
voices of rock stars, etc.out of context! I know nothing whatsoever about
the record or the people that made it. Anyone out there know any more?

Brian

Nice scan Mike..I wish my stylist could give me one of those 50's tapers on
the back of my head l;ike the Dad with the red shirt. Bob Cummings sported
the perfect taper in that Hitchcock movie you could watch in 3-D (forget the
title). Can I get a witness for the 50's taper? Where the hair gets shorter
and shorter as it goes down the back of your head until it disappears?

uhuh,  you're probably right though.
But unless you live in a vacuum jar, where do you draw the line?  You hear,
you retain.  You do the new thing. You like it. Later you think,  'Oh,
blimey that sounds like such and such'.  Do you say,  "Oh no I'm going to
suppress it" in the unending quest for novelty?

Does it invalidate the blues?  Based so much around the use of stock phrases
and riffs.

A friend said he saw Big Joe Turner sing standard blues lines off the top of
his head for 2 hours without repeating himself.  He was obviously paying
close attention.

The answer to the original post should maybe have been  a big AND?

IMHO.

Subject: (exotica) Records in the wilderness

I never thought of my homeland as having anything to offer in the realm of
album hunting, but I was fortunate to discover a new source right in the
middle of the bluegrass (Kentucky, that is) during a recent trip home.  On
the day we arrived, my mother pulled an article out of the paper about
"Pop's" Consignments, etc. that claimed that the place had @ 60 to 70
thousand records (she apologized to my wife when she did it).  It may not
have had that many, but it did have a helluva lot.  Most were priced from
$2.00 to $5.00, with rare or unusual albums priced higher.  The place was
somewhere between Goodwill and a more upscale place, because the condition
of some of the albums was mediocre, but they were priced accordingly.
Exotica and Easy Listening stuff was mixed in with Pop/Rock or Jazz, which
made the search rather difficult, but worthwhile nonetheless.
I picked up:
Stanley Wilson, Music from M Squad
    (Paid $9.00 for this one.  I've wanted it for a long time.)

Ray Martin, Excitement Incorporated
    (Lot's of fun.  I'd say it's better than the other Stereo Action album,
Dynamica.  Great vocals, especially on "Jericho"--the thought of Vegas-style
singers in skin-tight spangled dresses exclaiming "Hallelujah" to a tune
like this alone makes it one of my favorites.)

Jack Costanzo, Bongo Cha Cha Cha
    (One of those "Golden Tone" albums with NO information whatsoever about
the record or artists.  It's a pretty straightforward Cuban/Puerto
Rican-style album, but very good.  And for .99, I couldn't let it go.  Nice
picture of Jack with those big fluffy shirt sleeves--anybody know what those
are called, by the way?--on the cover.)

Three Suns, Swingin on a Star.
    (No comment.  It's good, but we've already had plenty of 3 Suns
discussions.  By the way, didn't nytab recently send word that King Curtis,
who plays on the album, had died?)

I could easily have spent more at the place.  I suspect I made a mistake in
passing by a Free Design album for about six bucks (I don't remember which
one, but I didn't recognize any of the tunes).

I have the sense that not many of the list members are from the middle of
the U.S.--mostly coasters and Europeans (with apologies to those who are
neither)--but if you're ever passing through Lexington, KY, I recommend
stopping by Pop's.  He puts out the new albums on Friday, but apparently a
crowd gathers at the door before opening time.  With all of the talk about
the demise of thrift-store bargains and complaints about the insanity of
online auction pricing, it's nice to know that places like this are still
around.

Depends what you mean by a mistake.
If you mean that it's a mistake to rub your fellow listmembers noses in the
fact that you passed up a record that they would have easily paid five
times more for, then yes that would be a mistake.
If you mean that it's a mistake to pass up a record for six bucks that you
could get sixty bucks on ebay, then you're right it's a mistake.
On the other hand, if you don't like buying records just to sell them back
at a profit, then there's no reason you should have bought it.
On the other other hand, if you have even a slight interest in the Free
Design's music, then you probably should have bought this one since there
are really no bad ones.
But that's not a mistake.  Just an oversight.

Ouch.
Didn't mean to rub any noses anywhere, and I had a bad feeling about passing
it up.  Oh well.
But I don't buy and resell.  I've hated selling anything since I was forced
to do it in grade school for band.

Subject: (exotica) Tom Jones melts

I took a little road trip last weekend with my friend David who normally
has lousy taste in music but recently expressed an interest in Tom Jones.
On Saturday it was his birthday and he slept in while I scoured Kingston
Ontario for cheap records.  I wasn't planning to do anything about his
birthday but when I found a few Tom Jones records, I scotchtaped a little
birthday greeting from Tom on one of the records and gave them to him.  It
was more the thought than the music since David doesn't have a turntable.
And besides, after I gave him a copy of my "Best of Tom Jones", he didn't
really need anymore.
And as touched as he was, maybe that explains why he left the three records
in my car.
I forgot they were there until today.  I don't know about you guys but it's
been an oven here for the last day or so and when I got in my car today,
the steering wheel and the door handles were too hot to touch.
Then I remembered the records.
Tom Jones Live at Caesar's Palace and "This is Tom Jones", both on Parrot,
seem fine.
But "Say you'll stay until tomorrow" on much lighter vinyl, is like the top
crust of an old fashioned apple pie.  It's actually kind of attractive.
And very symetrical the way the crimped edges go all around.
It's not Tom at his best anyway.
But I'm curious why the thing melted in such a symetrical and consistent way.
By the way, the three best things I found in Kingston were "Cool Cowboy" by
Cliffie Stone, which is kind of a cross between country and "lounge", the
Four Freshmen "Voices in Latin" and in a pile of real run-of-the-mill
Goodwill records, I found one of my favorite records in the world - and in
great shape - the soft pop classic by The Match "A New Light".
When you find stuff like that, it's kind of hard to stop looking.

My guess is not that it melted that way, but that it melted, expanded,
and then when it cooled it cooled in a symmetrical way, meaning it
contracted because it got colder and I would think that since the record
is round, all points are equidistant from the center, so when the record
'pulled back' when it cooled, it all pulled back the same distance and
rate.

Did you try playing it?

Larry Adler, Political Exile Who Brought the Harmonica to Concert Stage, Dies at 87
By RICHARD SEVERO
 Larry Adler, a harmonica player of enormous sensitivity whose advocacy and artistry helped elevate the instrument to concert status, died yesterday at a London hospital. He was 87 and had lived in Britain since the early 1950's, when he was blacklisted for his political views and his career in America effectively ended.

In performances that spanned seven decades, Mr. Adler brought dignity to the harmonica, which was previously regarded as either a toy or an instrument for amateurs. He not only introduced the "mouth organ," as he called it, into the concert hall, but also persuaded important composers, among them Darius Milhaud, Ralph Vaughan Williams, William Walton, Malcolm Arnold and Joaqun Rodrigo, to create works specifically for him. On three occasions, he proved that the unadorned harmonica could provide an eloquent score for an entire motion picture.

Does anyone know what happened to WABY.com? I used to enjoy listening to
that at work but now the site is down.

Subject: (exotica) Bossa Prices

Yesterday I typed in a search at e-bay on "bossa" out of curiosity at what
would come up and was surprised at the flurry of high-end bidding going on
for Brazilian albums.  Someone is unloading a collection, and more than a
few of the items have exceeded the $80 range and $100 mark (sorry, but
that's in the area of the impossible for me).  I wasn't surprised to see
that some of the same people are bidding for the most hotly contested
records (although the number of bidders with a history of fewer than 10
purchases looks suspicious), but I had no idea that this was a hot market.
Does anybody know about this?  I thought the auctions for music library
albums was competitive, but this seems far worse.

Clayton

P.S.  My question is about the rarity and demand for Brazilian bossa nova
albums.  I don't mean to elicit more screeds about e-bay.

I tried e-mailing him and got a bounce with a "user unknown" error. Anyone
else? Anyone in Boston who can tell him by other means?

This is probably not a very helpful answer in that it states the
self-evident.. but there are genres in which records often fall below the
radar, genres in which they sometimes fall below the radar and genres in
which they seldom do.  And Brazilian music is in the third category.
To a great degree, it's DJ-driven. DJ's feel like they have to have the
records that other DJ's have.  I don't wish to put down all DJ's - or the
ones on this list - but there's something like "the butterfly effect" that
happens when one DJ "plays out" one cool track and virtually the next day
all these people are looking for that record.
There's a track on one Sun Ra record.  There's a track on a Sugarcane
Harris record.  For a long time in Toronto, the Mancini soundtrack for "The
Party" was a fifty dollar record.  And the soundtrack to "Charade" was also
highly sought because of one very groovy track "Mambo Parisienne".
In the Brazilian genre, there's one Tamba 4 record that's a hundred bucks.
I had one of their records that was pretty good but it wasn't THE ONE and
so it was ten bucks.
And there seems to be a lot of convergence between DJ's and Japanese
collectors.  Japanese collectors are interested in some genres - like late
50's Blue Note jazz - that DJ's are not particularly interested in.  But it
seems like there are very few records that DJ's are looking for that
Japanese collectors aren't also looking for.
When you get a genre - like Brazilian bossa nova - where both groups of
highly motivated collectors are interested, then very very few records will
ever fall below the radar.
There's a group of Japanese collectors that collect original soft pop
records but in general DJ's don't.  So a soft pop record can fall below the
radar and go for 9.99 on ebay with just one bidder.
I think I understand the special status of Brazilian music right now.  DJ's
can play it out in a number of different contexts.  They can sample a riff
or even play a whole track.
People are buying pretty straightahead bossa nova like Bebel Gilberto and
Dido and they're also buying bossa influenced things like Nicola Conte or
the stuff on Siesta.
But the DJ's aren't going to play Sergio Mendes or Jobim (or they could as
a novelty). They're going to find something obscure in that huge group of
records that form the rest of the iceberg.
Obscure but not obscure, since it's likely the first time they heard about
it was because someone else had it.
