Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada - about an hour out of Vancouver.
Every charitable organization has set up a thrift store, and all have
records (to a greater or lesser degree) - we've got a Value Village, a
"Bibles for Mission" thrift store (the last chance thrift store I was
referring to), a Community Services thrift store, a Prison Ministry thrift
store, a Mennonite Central Committee Thrift Store, an I'm not sure what they
do, but they're called the Victory Thrift Store... and then there's more
about fifteen minutes away.  This area is referred to as the Bible Belt of
BC, so there's a high proportion of terribly mediocre Christian music, but
also a lot of 'easy listening' type stuff, which I'm loving.  Also a large
population of seniors, so I assume the stash I found today came from some
unfortunate soul moving into a rest home or something (but on the brighter
side, maybe someone sold the house and is moving into a condo :-) ).  And to
top it off, I only know of two other guys who collect records here :-)

Ta ta,

Jim

i've always had better luck finding records in the medium sized cities of the
b.c. interior (kamloops, penticton, etc.) than in vancouver. now i find that
i've driven through "the thrift store capital of the world" dozens of times
without knowing it! next time i drive to the coast i'll be sure to stop in.
don't worry, i won't depleting the stock anytime soon -- i hardly get out there
anymore since the last of my vancouver friends moved. i'm in edmonton -- a
pretty good thrifting town, i think. there are about 20 thrift stores here
including 6 goodwills, 4 sally anns, 3 value villages & a handful of "rogue"
religions, diseases & other causes. we also have a bibles for missions which is
pretty much as you describe it -- lots & lots of mediocre religious stuff --
but hidden among the george beverly sheas i've sometimes found the odd record
that rocks my world, like the time i found two balsara & his singing sitars's.

thanks for sharing. if i was living in the thrift capital of the world i'd
probably keep it to myself.

Subject: Re (exotica) oh, and one more thing...

Jim,

I have both of them and like them.  I'd say 2 has the edge for its 'modern
pop sound'  which I think means there may be a Moog on there, and also the
choice of material,  it has a breakneck brazil and some genuine Brazilian
songs on it,  whereas my recollection of 1 is that a lot of the songs were
German.  But don't quote me.
Also the cover on 2 is a lot more luridly coloured,  1 was a bit drab.  But
If you enjoyed 3 you would enjoy 1 and 2 as well.

I just checked Johanns site and was surprised to see that these were not
there,  but if you don't know it, its a good resource:

I've been on the list 3 years and this time of year its always slow, I'll be
going back to digests in a couple of weeks.

Hello, and congratulations on your thrifty haul. The
Nakamura lp is indeed quite good. I passed on my 2
cents about that one few years back. It's good to hear
there's still a place in the world where the bins
remain bountiful. Nothing but Andy Williams (whose ex,
like Bo Diddley, is a gunslinger), Herb Alpert, 15,000
variants of the Eddie Duchin Story (the Ricky Martin
of his day, no doubt) and Jimmy Swaggart left around
my area. A year ago, it was a completely different
story.

Subject: (exotica) "Accordion Dreams" on PBS

"Accordion Dreams" is the sort of drippy title for a rather good
documentary about the accordion and conjunto music in Texas. It's floating
around on PBS right now, I caught it last night. Check your local schedule.
It covers the history up to the present. It's terrific how the kids are
getting into it now, and doing some pretty wild playing to boot. It even
briefly covered the different accordion types (diatonic button, chromatic
button, piano). Remarkable.

Here's the supplemental website:
http://www.pbs.org/accordiondreams/

At the moment, a couple of the subsections aren't working (for me), but
most of it is there.

I'm glad to know that there are still good thrift stores around.  But yeah,
it seems to have changed pretty dramatically around here in the last year
or so.  Thrift stores in Toronto are now pretty sad.  I don't really know
how this change occurred but I have the nagging suspicion that it had
something to do with the curious fact that all the thrift stores in Toronto
are now staffed exclusively by Japanese.

I'm curious about all the Reader's Digest record collections that are out
there.  You know, the ones with titles like 'Music for Relaxation' (probably
not an exact title, but close enough).  I think they were part of the
'Dynagroove' recordings, as well.  And, what in the world is 'Dynagroove?'

Does anybody know how many of these collections were produced, or if there's
a discography somewhere I can browse through?  I know they produced a lot,
even holiday collections.  Anybody know if they've ever been translated over
to CD?

I only have one of these, called something like "Sounds of the South" or
"Rhythms of the South"--anyway, it's full of Latin tunes.  It's actually
quite a good collection.  Perez Prado shows up on it, along with other
serious bands.  I remember there being a great version of "Chacita" on one
of the sides.  And the good thing is that most people who ordered the
collections did so out of some kind of loyalty to Reader's Digest or
subscription or something, so they never bothered to listen to the records
more than one or two times.  Of course, many of the collections are probably
not worth listening to more than once (if that much).  I admit I was tempted
to buy a Steve & Eydie collection once, but passed on it.

Why do I mention here? The Japanese series "Cowboy Bebop" has been

premiere on the block (Midnight & 12:30am).

Tonight I will be serving the Mai-Kai's Bora Bora,
which I finally managed to get them to fill me in on:

3/4 0z Fresh Lime Juice
1.5 Oz Grapefruit Juice
0.5 Oz 151
0.5 Oz Jamaican Rum
1.5 Oz Puerto Rican Rum
3/4 z Sweetener (they use something called "seven",
which sounds like an evil chemical I once used on m y
grape arbor. I will use sugar syrup, to taste).

It's quite good, and not too sweet - pleasantly tart,
like a decent mai-tai.

The only Dynagroove I know of is as a recording/mastering term on
mid-late 60s RCA LPs. I don't think this is same one.

One in the same; RCA made these LPs for Readers Digest.

By the way, I just happened to pick up a few RD sets just hours ago,
each in characteristic RD Near Mint quality. Two are organ music, and
the third I'm now listening to is a 9-record set titled "Serenade for
Lovers", subtitled "Romantic mood music by Melanchrino Strings, Vic
Damone, Harry Belafonte, Jack Jones, Chet Atkins, Hugo Winterhalter,
John Gary, Ed Ames, Henry Mancini, Perry Como, & 29 others".  The "29
others" are no slouches -- the very first track on record 1,
"Wiederseh'n" by Pete King and His Orchestra is the height of delight.

I came across a "Pleasure Programmed" Readers Digest CD just the other
day at my local library.  It is one disc in a series of four 3-CD sets
of "The Most Beautiful Melodies of the Century".  I'm quite fond of the
RD "Stardust Memories" set I have on 8-track, but this CD was
disappointing.  Only a meager 12 songs, each one bubbling over with
digital shrillness.  "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" by Paul Weston and Jo
Stafford was for me the only good track.  Too bad it sounds like
pinpricks in my ears.

The truism that "popular" music is never as good as "serious" music
is a relatively recent one. If you look at the list of artists that
sold the most records from 1900 to 1960, the list would look something
like this... Enrico Caruso, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny
Goodman, Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley.
If you listed the artists who made the most significant contributions
to music during the same period, the list would be pretty much the
same. For the first half of the 20th century, popular music *was*
serious music. The ghettoisation of popular music has only been
since the British Invasion when marketing became more important than
the music.

What is it with Cambodians and Surf music?

Sonny, The host of "Voice of Cambodian Children" has played The Ventures,
and last week his sub co-host was playing The Shadows. They tell me that
surf music sounds very Cambodian. To me Cambodian music sounds a little like
Indian music. Its sounds interesting, but the ears get tired pretty quick.

BTW I have an original CD of the Scamp reissue of The Shadows but no linear
notes! (What can you expect for free) If anybody can help me out.

I was fortunate enough to preview "Adult Swim" a couple months ago, and it is (with the exception of "Home Movies") hilarious. It'll definitely have my viewership for 2.5 hours every week.

The title doesn't lie, either -- some of the humor is very adult.

Those on this list will really like the "Harvey Birdman" opening sequence. Cool visuals, cool song.

>>Subject: (exotica) Racism?

This still bugs me.  That post with the word "racism" in it.
And the business about NOT blaming collectors for high record prices.
In most used record stores I've been around the continent, most records are
in the five to seven dollar range.  Or maybe a little less.
A lot of stores jump from there to the twenty dollar range.  These are
records the store owner thinks are special for various reasons and he
thinks he can get a bit more money for them.  Often they're called
"collector's items" but that's just a marketing term.
Sometimes those twenty dollar records are priced at 30 or 40 dollars even.
You can't really "blame" anyone for the prices of the records I've
discussed so far.  That's just the way record sellers think.  The prices
they come up with are actually pretty arbitrary.
But the records I've talked about so far were not the ones I was talking
about all those months ago when this topic first came up in reference to
expensive records on ebay.
I'm talking about the hundred and two hundred dollar records.
Records are going for that kind of money because someone somewhere is
willing to pay that much for that record.
That person either has a lot more money than most of us OR he has other
reasons for paying that much, such as feeling like he actually NEEDS it for
his livelihood.
I guess the word "blame" has more than one meaning.  I don't blame someone
for buying what they want or for paying whatever they need to pay.  But if
I'm looking for someone to blame for the high price of some records, I will
look to the people willing to pay those high prices.

I have thaught so for quite some time, too. I think the developement was
furthered after 70s Punk. ItÆs just cool to be working in the popular music
field. ItÆs even cooler not to know much about music in general. I have always
earned my living working in the music business, where I got these ideas.

Subject: (exotica) Vinyl Sale Oct 6  near Boston MA.

WICN's "FINAL" VINYL sale is happening at the Heberts Candy Mansion on
October 6th. In Shrewsbury Massachusetts.On Rt 9.

John here from the list just got a car and wants to start looking for LP's.
Well here's a good place for you to show up John. Last year records were $2
each. And who knows. Since this is the "last" sale someone might be able to
get a deal for all the left over Living Strings and Ray Conniff LP's.

But for some reason WICN told me they need movers at the end of the day. I
wonder what they are going to do with all the leftovers. They might just
chuck them.

I think this year there might be more JAZZ LP's. I showed up at the station
1/2 a year ago and noticed the Jazz LP section, about 30 linear feet, was
gone or significantly reduced. The GM said nobody was playing them.

So the Boston exotica list strategy is this: Lets show up at the beginning.
Grab whatever you think looks interesting. Gather around a picnic table
(it's outside) and exchange and swap among ourselves.  Get high sniffing
musty old LPs. And revel in the vinyl fetish!!

My next post will be about the meeting I had with the program director at
WICN. This is not the station I do my own show on, but was hoping some day
to substitute at or even get my own program.

Subject: (exotica) <---on Public Radio

Mentioned this on the Luxuriamusic board. So some of you are going to get
this twice. Some of you (like Darrell B) gave me some nice advice and want
to let you know what happened.

I passed on an edition of my program to the program director at WICN this
summer. They play Jazz during the day, folk at night and weekend volunteer
hosts doing jazz, American songbook, swing and new age program.

They have been wondering lately how to attract younger listeners. The
average listener is very close 60. A toned down late Saturday afternoon
exotica show would work out great for them. Following the 12-4 PM DJ  who
features swing music circa 1958.

He liked the music I was playing. He thinks I put togeter a good show. He
used to DJ adventurous programs years ago when WICN was affiliated with the
Worcester colleges, but we got into one of those cyclic "What do people
want" conversations. They have plenty of evidence that if the music get a
little too wild the folks switch off to top 40 classical radio.

He specifically mentioned Martin Denny and how he would be somebody a little
adventurous to play. 'Ol Marty is pretty tame compared to some of the other
exotica/SABP things we talk about here. So even if I got a program I would
be high maintnance  for him.

WICN is doing better than they ever had. The GM's business strategy of
consistent pleasant jazz without all the hard saxophones solos and neutral
almost personality-less hosts seems to be working. The GM once mentioned
that they have people on the air now that he does not like. I cant imagine
what he's talking about. None of them sound bad. But he did mention that
on-air people should just read the weather. Don't make any comments about
what you think about the weather. Goodness! Talking about the weather not
appropriate? Practically every human conversations starts out with talking
about the weather.

As a college radio host on WJUL I'm not bad, getting better and the PD
continues to give me pointers, but I will never get up to those NPR
standards.

I've been volunteering at WICN for about 8 years now. Instead of adopting a
"just say 'screw em" and move on" attitude I'm going to continue helping out
where I can.   They do play nice music and have friends who work and
volunteer there.

Public radio may in time loosen up. It may not really be their fault. It's
the public that drives support after all. The GM would play bagpipes all day
if it generated the pledges. Working inside the system instead of outside,
Patiently reminding them that people like me, diehard public radio
listeners, would enjoy and support an exotica program.  Is the way to go.
And maybe in about 20 years when we are in our 60's well get a chance to
play Denny and Esquivel on public radio.

Maybe one of these gals will stir your stew too. Or you can wait until

The Rolling Stones have a great song about Ms. Longet called "Claudine," but
drat, I lost the MP3 in a hard drive crash last year.

IIRC there is some Esquivel (or maybe Denny) background music playing in Out
of Sight's cocktail lounge scene with George and Jennifer.
