better than people saying you look like Ringo.
(Still, my money is on Ringo to win it all. He's aged better than any could

He was the mysterious Beatle, the one who took the Indian yoga thing serious.
He was the quite Beatle, yet he could be very funny and had good humor.
He was the underestimated Beatle. Everybody always talked about the Lennon/McCartney songwriting, but George did a lot of really nice songs.
He made the sitar a popular instrument in pop music.
He was the pretty Beatle, the one that had the most beautiful women.
He was the good Beatle, initiating and participating in many aid projects.
He was the only Beatle with a substantial musical career after the Beatles.
He was a Travelling Wilbury.
He will be missed.

well, this would be not a very "immanent" category. Musically New Wave actually has elements of Ska, Kraut Rock, Punk and electronic avantgarde. Above all I think it was a conceptual movement; it had some kind of message, so anything that was "anti" the mainstream could be New Wave. In that way you are right. But exotica in comparison never had an attitude "against the establishment" ...

I agree with all that you said, Mo (and I also liked him most among the
Beatles), but can you explain this line a little more? I can go along with
it regarding Ringo, but even though I'm not much of a McCartney fan, it
seems to me he has had a substantial musical career after the Beatles,
hasn't he?

I had their records for about ten seconds.
Till I decided that I actually hated ska.
One of the few musical genres that I continue to hate.
It reminds me too much of polka and the macarena. It doesn't really remind
me of reggae, which I don't hate.
Reggae is more in the category of "I don't care if I never hear it again".
But this whole specials thing makes me think maybe we could slightly revive
things here if we just opened it up.
You can talk about anything without having to preface it and say "I don't

Just a thought.

I haven't turned on the TV yet today so I'm assuming this means he's dead.
Duh.
He was also my favorite Beatle. No particular reason. Back in the day,
you had to choose one (You also were asked to choose between Beatle members
and Dave Clark Five members. Lots of battles back then on teen magazines.)
I chose George because I liked his face. And because he was the underdog.
And because somehow just being "the guitar player" in a band like the
Beatles almost seemed like some kind of conceptual art idea. Like a
strange juxtaposition. Like he didn't quite fit in.
And when he did finally place a few songs on their records, they didn't
really seem like Beatle songs.
I only ever begrudgingly liked the Beatles so somehow George was the one
you could like without totally buying the package.
Another sign that the end is closer. I'm trying to prepare myself.

This is of course very subjective. Fact is, I don't like any single song Paul made after the Beatles, and that is why I made this statement. I mean, Ringo also did a couple of albums and jammed here and there, but I can't really take it serious. Paul to me, at his best, is the con-genius partner of John Lennon.

Here here! No matter how wide my musical interests expand, reggae
remains the one genre I do not embrace. Maybe it's the singing. Cause

Interesting point. It's true. It IS a bit polkaish. But don't you like ANY polka at all? I love ska. Did you ever consider to dance, I mean, really dance to it? It's so cool. Actually it's rock'n'roll going calypso, so it has this charming - a little bit - naive element, which is absolutely exotic, because it's tribal... primitve...

Discordia! I love Reggae. Actually it's the only living relevant popular international music, that you could call exotica IMHO. I use to have my reggae phases. For some weeks I really go for it, and then I don't care for it at all for months or years. You have to be "in it" to dig it. Now that you said this, I will bother you with a reggae compilation!!! (uh, ring-related)

I know what reggae has to do with exotica.
Recent reggae finds:
"Boss Reggae" - the guitarist of the Skatalites with an instrumental solo album - super duper!
"Best of Harry "J" Johnson", double LP/CD, who made my absolute favorite reggae tune of all times, "The Liquidator", but also produced incredible things like "Young, Gifted And Black". On the Trojan label.
