I certainly far prefer Denny to Kenny G. and I've even been known to put
Mr.G on the same shitelist as Celine Dion and that's saying something.
Having said that, I can imagine a number of sentences and certainly emails
where the two might find themselves together.
We like Denny NOW. But that's because most of us weren't around - or all
that aware of him if (like me) we WERE around - when he was most active.
I suspect that many jazz fans of the time dismissed Denny in the exact same
way we dismiss Mr.G now.
I'm pretty sure I used to hear "Martin Denny jokes". I think you still can.
One time, just before I got into this stuff, I asked a friend about his
parent's record collection and he dismissively laughed that all they had
were Martin Denny records.
(BTW, I once read a piece in the Village Voice which essentially said that
there was almost nothing that all jazz fans could agree on... except that
Kenny G ISN'T jazz.)
I read about how "Leis of Jazz" is Arthur Lyman's "straight jazz" record
and even though I kind of like the record, I still have to laugh at that.
Okay maybe twenty years from now, the children of today's exotica list
WON'T be waxing nostalgic about Kenny G. and the days when you could pick
his CD's up for next to nothing in used CD bins.
Still I think there's a parallel.

Hey all!
If any of you are going to be in the Glasgow area, check out Russels pub on
Byres Road at 8pm on Sunday. DJ Mingo-go will be spinning an electric and
eclectic mix of Phuture Lounge. Totally free. In a pub. If it goes well, it
could be regular. So if you're in the area, please support! On till 11pm, I
think....

I was trapped in Tower books during a thunderstorm on Saturday, and so
read quite a bit of this. Basically, you can't argue with the volume of
information in there - I could certainly learn a lot from it. But it is
also irritating with it, because, as Lou mentions, it looks at artists
way out of the genre. There is nothing wrong with this in principle
(indeed, bands like Divine Comedy and Tindersticks are vaguely relevant),
but the problem is that it does this from a rather contrived 'Lounge fan'
angle (eg. '"xxx" has done two albums which will appeal to the lounge
fan'). However, as Lou says, it is worth a look.
Another interesting looking book I saw recently (which may have been
mentioned in a previous thread - sorry if it was) was 'Contemporary' by
Lesley Jackson (Phaidon '94), a beautiful large format book about 50s
design - looked a bit like 'Populuxe', only bigger and with more
illustrations.

Yes, well, I was overstating the proposition a bit for clarity. I certainly
wouldn't want to do without recording technology either. Though consideration
of the "good" and "bad" effects it's had on music in this century might be
interesting, if anyone wants to get into that.
Then again, with the Y2K Bug bringing down the world power grids in a couple of
Januarys ;o), it might be a good idea to stock up on candles and ukuleles. Or
78's and hand-crank Victrolas. (is Vik still here?)

NO one else has caught any mentionable live performances? Gee whiz. (And no, I
haven't -- I'm really lame at getting out to shows -- partly location, partly

Subject: (exotica) Sixteenth Annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade
Saturday June 27, 1997 (Raindate June 28) is the
date for the 16th Annual Mermaid Parade produced by Coney Island USA.
There will be, open to the public, trophy winning competitions for
Best Mermaid Costume, Best King Neptune Costume,
Best Homemade Float, Best Marching Group and
Best Special Attraction.
Parade assembles at two places between Surf Avenue and the Boardwalk:
MARCHERS at the Cyclone Roller-Coaster on West 10 Street
VEHICLES at West 16 Street.
At 2:00 PM
the MERMAID PARADE will march South to the Boardwalk then
West to 16 Street where it will turn North to Surf Avenue.
On Surf Avenue, Antique Cars will have joined the parade in heading to the
reviewing stand at Surf Avenue and West 12th Street
in front of Coney Island USA's "Sideshows by the Seashore".
There will be ample photo opportunities at the reviewing stand.
There will be a running commentary during the parade's passage by actor Ray
Normandeau. Ray is the French speaking chef with Susan Sarandon and Willem
Dafoe in "Light Sleeper"; now in video stores.
All official ceremonies including awarding of trophies and the crowning of
the King and Queens will be at the reviewing stand. This year's Parade
features David Byrne, the Great Rock and Roll legend himself as King Neptune.
A performance of the Coney Island Sideshow with its freak show acts will take
place immediately after the parade.
One of the strangest entries in the parade will be "Nuclear Warrior", a
musical satire solo act who claims to be able to blast away all other music
to kingdom come. Scott Lifs has been pushing his "Nuclear" act for over a
decade and has produced a show at TADA theatre to media acclaim, which
according to Lifs has resulted in such media comments as;
East Coast Rocker: "Will incinerate the record industry."
Night Howl: "Top song of century."
Howard Stern: "Good for the bowels." etc. "
On stage "Nuclear Warrior" is a revue type of show using sketches to tell its
story, which is to deride all music but its own. He blasts Armstrong & Jazz,
Presley & Rock, Caruso & Opera etc., Scott Lifs hopes to finally be
discovered in time to save the World, at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. He
has registered his solo act as a group and invites one and all to put on a
sea-worthy costume and march with him to fame and fortune. NUCLEAR WARRIOR
SHOW can be contacted by phone at 718-328-2248 or thru his web site at
http://www.wrldlnk.com/nuclearwarrior.html. If Lifs doesn't get discovered at
the Parade, he is afraid that he may have to join the freak show.
In keeping with the satirical nature of some of the parade entries,
judgeships are for sale for those who wish to sit on the reviewing stand. The
reviewing stand is where the bare breasted mermaids usually pause for photos.
Participants sometimes try to approach the bench with a bribe (mermaids
sometimes two bribes). Registration information is available from the
parade's web site at: http://www.coneyislandusa.com.
Http://www.coneyislandusa.com is replete with information relating to
carnival and circus side show freaks as well as a history of Coney Island.
Parade announcer Ray Normandeau has his own web site at:
http://www.buzznyc.com/actors/res.normandeau.raymond.html
where he can be seen with one of the bare breasted mermaids.
For additional parade and competition information call 718 372-5159.

he tried many versions of that song, but only 5 are avialable on
recordings: the 2 you mentioned, the "cockney version",
"chinless wonder", only issued on the 4 cd box on EMI UK,
and ""twits version", only available on the 7" single EMI released
at the same time as the box. Phil mcCafferty was one of the many
characters he played on the goon (radio) show. the "Dr Strangelove"
version is by far the best. oddly enough, that box doesn't contain
it!

Subject: Re: (exotica) MusicHound Lounge book
I would want to take the time to check it out carefully before buying. A few
years ago I bought the VideoHound "Cult Flicks and Trash Pics" book a little
too quickly. I eventually came to the conclusion that it was an inferior
imitation of the original "Psychotronic" book (and 13 years later, at that!),
cranked out to exploit the new "in"-ness of b-movies (sound familiar?). It had
the page count taken up with cutesey stuff like a "category index" (ex: "Killer
Appliances", "Killer Brains", "Renegade Body Parts"), but the body of the work
had a lot of gaping holes, as far as the movie entries included (or not). It
sounds like they've tried to jam-pack this lounge book (maybe too much so?),
but I think it's once bitten, twice shy for me. I may well be wrong.

hello everybody,
this is a posting to all the folks out there in exotica who are doing
radio shows. i have been approached by an AM station here in Baltimore
to pitch them a show of ADULT MUSIC!
the airwaves here are a vast wasteland of noise pollution...i would like
to clean up the air with some of the music we discuss here.
i would like some facts to back me up when i tell them that we are
"playing catch-up" as a city NOT having this kind of music available to
our radio dials.
so anyone doing a radio show could you please drop me a line and maybe a
playlist with your area and station so i could give the station manager a
list and say "see, look at what is going on out there!"
believe me when i say i am dealing with some unenlightened minds....
help save the environment!!!!
your friend in music....bump

I haven't, but I like her recordings. Actually when I was in Tokyo I
purchased her ep cd thinking that it might have been an actual rare 60's ya
ya recording. To my surprise when I got back home to Silverlake, CA, the
record was recorded in the 90's and in Van Nuys! Most of her early
recordings are Gainsbourg songs, and she also recently (last year) put out
a cd in Japan - that I believe is mostly French pop songs. So she does
have a Japanese record contract.
If you look at the Alta Vista search website for Gainsbourg - her name
comes up on a website, and it is an interview with her. Sorry I don't have
her actual address. Oh,and she is also an animator.

Subject: (exotica) What does new wave have to do with it?
In a message dated 98-06-25 09:46:34 EDT, you write:
<< There is nothing wrong with this in principle
(indeed, bands like Divine Comedy and Tindersticks are vaguely relevant),
but the problem is that it does this from a rather contrived 'Lounge fan'
angle (eg. '"xxx" has done two albums which will appeal to the lounge
fan'). However, as Lou says, it is worth a look. >>
Didnt the Dylan Jones Book do this also??? Why is it these lounge book
writers feel compelled to throw in New Wave bands as lounge acts???

April March is (probably was, by now) John Kricafalusi's girlfriend (he's the
creator of Ren & Stimpy). They briefly pitched a cartoon based around her ye
ye girl character (John K's drawing of said character being the pic sleeve of
her "Kooky" single). Since then she's also recorded with garage rockers The
Shitbirds. There was an interview with her in the last issue of Girlyhead
(zine) which had a coool French theme (including an interview with the lead
singer of Frenchy, and a great career retro of Claudine Longet). The next
issue of Girlyhead, btw, is reputedly a Cha Cha themed issue.
Gotta go now and finish my article on The Archies...

Subject: (exotica) Johnny Venture on "Rhoda"
ever notice the first humorous 'lounge' depictation
on teevee? johnny venture and his friend, nick lobo
the accordianist must date from '75.
the johnny venture character is maybe in about 6 episodes
max towards the end of the series, but is damn funny.
in one stellar episode, while performing in a small lounge
bar, he dedicates a number to rhoda (his date) with "i wanna
dedicate this number to a fine lady thats just getting to know
*me* ."
another line i recall is "i dont expect to hit the jackpot with my
first nickel", whilst trying to woo Rhoda.
if yer so inclined, Rhoda is now on both NAN and TV Land. Check
your local cable listings.

Hello
while browsing new releases at the Footlight Records, I came across three by
the subject duo.
Who are they and what kind of recordings are these? The titles such as "A
Little More Gauze", "Adultry" and "Disc Jockey" seemed kinda interesting.
thanks

Subject: (exotica) Lounge Hound doggy doo:Rant
After seeing the postings about the new MusicHound "Lounge" book I
thought I'd venture over to my local Borders to check it out.
I'm always suspicious about this sort of thing so my expectations were'nt
that great, even so I was still quite amazed as to how useless this book
was.
I spent only about ten minutes perusing it yet, it was enough time to
totally condemn this waste of pulp. Aside from the fact that I would only
classify about 10% of the entries as "lounge" I had some other greviences
as well.
First of all there were no entries for Ray Martin, Marty Gold and
Claudine Longet (I probably could have found more omissions if I spent
more time looking.)
Secondly, amid all the half-truths and mis-leading entries was the
overall impression that the recording artists mentioned never issued any
vinyl. I realize of course that the whole purpose is to sell CDs in order
to profit the present powers that be, but even so to totally marginalize
the musician's pre-CDs recorded output(i.e. vinyl) is to entirely miss
the point of this music. Not to mention that any budding lounge fan is
swayed into the dupe-dom of the current record industry by following the
prescribed tastes of "lounge Culture".
Finally what put me over the edge was comparing the amount of space
dedicated to different artists. In the "D" section I looked up Martin
Denny and thought, ok, two columns thats not too bad. Then I flipped the
page and not only is there a listing for John Denver!? but, he gets more
space than Denny! Incredulous, I flipped another page and there's Neil
Diamond with an entry three columns long! I put the book back.
If you want an introduction to this music pick up the two volumes of
Incredibly Strange Music and Joseph Lanza's Elevator Music. Also, a good
general reference is the Penguin Encyclopedia of Popular Music. On-line
there's always Brad Bigelow's SpaceAgePop Site, which is an excellent
short bio and discography source.
With these sources I've just mentioned there is absolutely no need
purcahse a copy of that LoungeHound garbage.
Of course any serious or budding lounge fan will have the perverse
curiosity to check out this pub., I just had to do the service of
providing a forewarning, it may infuriate.
And of course I got to rant.
Yours,
Frank

So this message is not a complete waste of your time, the not-to-long-ago
reissued COFFY has been followed up with:
James Brown - Black Caesar
James Brown - Slaughter's Big Rip-Off
Willie Hutch - Foxy Brown
Charles Earland - The Dynamite Brothers
so if you are into the blaxploitation thing, you should be happy.

There's one of these Hound books about soundtracks as well, and it's a
complete waste of time (unless you actually like the overblown works of
people like Hans Zimmer). No vinyl listings means huge chunks of film music
history are entirely left out. It's the equivalent of a cocktail guide that
features 80's drinks like Sex On The Beach and WooWoo's. Hey wait a
minute, there is a book like that - - and it's called "Cocktail Nation"!
Hey, that's the term coined by my friend and colleague The
Millionaire........how come there's no mention of Combustible Edison in
that books "recommended listening" section?
Probably because a Combustible Edison listener wouldn't drink Sex On The
Beach or a WooWoo.
What a culture!

Mike Nichols and Elaine May have become heavilly involved in the film
industry since they did these recordings and did special sketches for NBC's
weekend radio program "Monitor." These new releases are probably
re-releases of the albums they did for Mercury.
Their sketches are hilarious. "A Little More Gauze" is one of my favorites:
A doctor and a nurse are in the middle of an operation when they start
arguing about personal matters.
I understand they are all made up on the spot...but they are so well
crafted! There are no special effects or audience on the one with "A
Little More Gauze." I am eager to hear the Improvisations album where they
must speak over music.
Being especially concerned with SOUND, I very much like the recordings
because the duo was well miked. There was never distortion, no off mike
effects, no echoes...just full bodied, perfectly resonant human voice.
The general content was that of satire of current trends and topics when
the recordings were made. I would liken their performances to audio
equivalents of a Jules Pfeiffer cartoon. Most of their sketches appear to
deal with how men and women communicate (or don't communicate!).
Mike Nichols and Elaine May Examine Doctors, Mercury MG 20680, SR 60680
is an outgrowth of their weekly appearances on Monitor. It's unclear, but
it appears all of selections on this album were recorded from their live
performances on Monitor, then edited for the album (only to pull together
the scenes...not to remove bad content).
The cuts: A Little More Gauze; Interrupted Hour; The Von Brauns at Home;
Merry Christmas, Doctor; Morning Rounds; Transference; Calling Dr. Marx;
Thank You Very Much; Out of Africa; Bedside Manner; Physical; Nichols and
May at Work (this cut is unedited and shows how the duo puts together their
sketches). Lengths range from 1:05 to 4:45.
Improvisations to Music, Mercury MG 20376, SR 60040 sounds interesting and
worth getting: Cocktail Piano; Mysterioso; Second Piano Concerto;
Everybody's Doing It Now; Bach to Bach; Tango; Sonata for Piano and
Celeste; Chopin.
An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May, Mercury OCS 6200, OCM 2200:
Telephone; Adultery; Disc Jockey; Mother and Son.
The Covers for "Doctors" and "Evening" are fun, "Improvisations" is boring.
Mike Nichols was in these movies: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The
Graduate, Catch 22, Carnal Knowledge, The Day of the Dolphin and The Fortune.
I think he spends his time now mostly as a writer, director or producer.
Elaine Mays has, as far as I know, never been in front of the lens, but has
done some excellent work as a writer, director and producer (however, only
in the most recent years). Both got their start in cabaret and stage and I
believe they still are both involved there as well. Alas, I think their
recording and radio broadcast career was short...but very satisfying.
I'd appreciate any other information on them. As far as I know, they only
did the three albums I mentioned. What is their most recent film work?
Anyone heard their Improvisations LP?
