Subject: (exotica) Cheap records part one (Close call)

>Glenn Close was in "Up With People"

...as part of the Green Glenn singers, or some such.  I have the album that
proves it.  She has the lead on "The Happy Song", which can be heard on the
Junk Radio Web Site.at
http://www.junkradio.com/junkradio/september/index.html .  You will need
Shockwave to hear it.

The funniest thing to me about this is that Close was to play a children's
singer named "Nanny G" on the "Cheers" TV show.  Woody Harrelson and she
were dating at the time.  For whatever reason, perhaps the end of the
relationship, Emma Thompson got the role instead of Close.  The song is a
happy-go-lucky tune, much like a Nanny G type would sing.  When I first
heard the song, that image leapt to mind.

Subject: (exotica) Strange things scrawled on record sleeves.....

heelo all....

i know there have been threads on this before, but i thought i'd try to
start a new one on account of the fact that i just came across a really
good example of the "genre."

here's what someone scrawled on the top left corner of a copy of that
album that Phil Oakey and Georgio Moroder did (circa '85):



They never leave alone
Backside may be that J.P. Morgan of WJR
Frontside may be that melicious man of Wyoming police brought in from
Russia to pray people away.



why it wasn't enough to make me buy the record (for 85 cents), it *was*
enough to make me pull out my notbook and copy it down!!!!

at the same thrift i found this record of Israeli children's music. the
liner notes were in english, though, and apparently suffered an odd
translation:

"You have before you a record which can be used as a souvenir. It
contains a joined effort of many, to save for you the most notorious and
popular songs, starting from the foundation of the State till now."

while not as amazing as some of the Japlish stuff out there, i still
thought it was funny enough (given that it was *children's* music) to
buy the record (it sucked)....

I think the post about buying 100 cheap records was more of an example
than an actual strategy (though I have witnessed at least one person
doing this, who explained it by saying that he liked all kinds of
music and was thus bound to enjoy most of the records - a strange
hybrid species that "likes all kinds" but actively seeks out other
people's discarded music instead of just listening to the radio...)

I could never afford to spend more than 50 dollars for one record, and
have never considered spending more than $25 - and then it's got to be
something extra-special.  The idea of spending more than that for
something with the expectation that I would at some point get "bored
with it is totally beyond me - if I spent more than $15, I'm only
going to resell it because I'm desperate for cash or it was a
mistake.  However silly, I'm convinced that I will eventually find
most of my "dream" records in my price range, either as originals or
CD reissues (which are fine with me).

I used to buy more cheap records out of curiosity because I was DJing,
and I needed to build up a bit of a library for the radio show.  I do
less of it now because I already have too many records to fit in my
cabinet, but for me it's always been a balance between curiosity and
promise - never about blindly snatching any old crap because it was
cheap.  I can't afford to spend money like that when there's so much
music I'm actively interested in.

I was given a small pile of jazz records from the 50s and in the middle was
this album. It's not jazz, but it is definitely exotica. The title of the
album is "Beat Tropicale" and side one is "Latin Rhythms". Side one is not
very interesting. However, side two, "Savage Drum Fantasy" is wonderful. The
artist is listed as Jose Bethancourt and His Orchestra and side two features
Richard Campbell and Harry H. Coon. It's on the Concert-Disc label, which says
"sound in the round". Anyone ever hear it?

Vijaya Anand 's "Dance Raja Dance" (on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label)
is wonderfully bizarro film music, and should be fairly easy to find
in the World section of your local record store.

I'll just confirm: The new 7" is Kelly wath the stars remixed by The Moog
Cookbook - Funky and interesting, a Must Buy (with a pale blue cover)

Jean Jacques Perrey and Air, Cosmic Bird is on the first Source Lab LP and
was released in France only (my friend has the original release but I have
had to settle for the Source Lab LP) - I think its the real Jean Jacques
with Air. The track has distinct elements of both artists.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Do you actually like this stuff?

i think that "thrifting" is a big part of what my take on this culture
is about. i believe we are recycling jettisoned culture. searching
through societies castoffs is one way of doing this. as money mark said
we are taking technology sideways, old keyboards in his case, music in
ours were not fully appreciated before being discarded. there is a
limited amount of cultural product in any age that is worthwhile to any
individual, we don't restrict ourselves to our own period and enrich the
already engorged consumer culture. sure buy records from collector's
shops if that is the only way to get them, buy reissues on cd if that is
the only way to get them but there are other ways and there is so much
stuff out there which has been neglected that we could enrich our lives
with that modern consumerism, which really wants you to be a 'happy
shopper' and buy the #1 record, and the rest of the hit records in
descending order, can never supply us with access to.
enjoy the rotting dregs of consumerism!

Well, now that the cat's out of the bag, the new Slacktone recording of
"Mexican Shuffle" will be included on the forthcoming Wildebeest release
"Surfin' Senorita," a compilation of surf & instrumental groups covering
songs recorded by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. Also schedule to appear
are the Space Cossacks, Sir Finks, Pollo del Mar, Insect Surfers,
Sandblasters, Exotics, 3 Balls of Fire, Slackmates, Soda Pop Spys,
Halibuts, Squid Vicious, and--making his first recorded appearance in 5
years--Herman the German. Also a special mystery guest.

And as great a songwriter as Dave is, "Mexican Shuffle" was written by
longtime Herb Alpert collaborator Sol Lake. The song was used for Teabury
Chewing Gum commercials back in the '60's and appeared on the "South of =
the
Border" album.

For those keeping score, this compilation will feature 5 trios and 1 duo.
It will be released in a couple of months or so.

FYI, "African Echoes" and to some extent "Taboo" are both prepared. It IS
a pretty nifty LP. With the exception of a couple tracks on their late
70s SUPERMEN album and one on an 80s Latin album, I think this early 60s
release has some of the last prepared material they did.

Actually, "Cosmic Bird" is on SOURCELAB 3, and is available as
a double-CD set through Caroline in the U.S.  The original
French pressing was two separate releases, numbered 3X and 3Y,
released as single CDs and double-LPs.

Indian pop music is very often the same as Indian film music. The biggest
pop tunes originate in film soundtracks.

Here's one you should be able to find with minimal effort:
Najma - Forbidden Kiss (The Music of S.D. Burman) [1996;Shanachie 64063]

Najma Akhtar has one of the loveliest on record. The concept and music
direction are by Chris "Church of Betty" Rael and Brian Woodbury, both of
whose work I enjoy a lot.

And you can tell from the CD's back cover blurb exactly who they are
targeting this to:

"Indian (Hindi) film music is the soundtrack for celluloid dreams produced
by the world's largest film industry -- wild and crazy excursions ranging
from Indian classical to Western pop with the off-center appeal of Esquivel
or Morricone. On this album, acclaimed vocalist Najma collaborates with
American Indo-philes to create startlingly new and wonderful versions of
Indian film music hits composed by the king of Hindi soundtracks -- S.D.
Burman."

If you go to any Indian grocery store you will usually find tons of
soundtrack cassettes and CDs. Grab some that look interesting. Or ask. If
you see the names Asha Bhonsle, Lata Mangeshkar or Mohamed Rafi as
vocalists, you'll be alright.

I can't speak about her other attributes, on the record or off. For that

Try to find the 'Blue Juice' compilation on Blue Note. It has two Anandar
Shankar tracks on it.
Anandar Skankar is a 1969-79 Moog and sitars, funky artist on EMI India.
Superb and rare.
Also the Indian soundtrack 'Shalimar' by various artists 1978 is fantastic.
Of course these are more exotica than popular so I'm not sure if I'm
recommending the right thing.

One other suggestion - check out the video "There'll Always Be Stars In The
Sky: Indian Film Music". It's available from Shanachie (Cat#1209 at
http://www.shanachie.com/video2.htm ). This was originally part of the Beats
of the Heart (or was it Rhythms of the Heart??) world music documentary
series that was shown on PBS a bunch of years ago. There's also a book that
accompanied the series, with a chapter on Bollywood filmi music.

Subject: (exotica) Cocktail Nation gets it up

Subject: Viagra-laced cocktails latest craze in Philippine bars
   MANILA, July 17 (AFP) - Viagra-laced cocktails are the latest craze
at bars in a nightclub district near a former American air base in the
Philippines, a newspaper reported Friday.
   The drinks, including the "pecker upper", "the woodies" and "get it
up" are even advertised on the Internet by at least four bars in
northern Angeles City, the Philippine Daily Inquirer said.
   Angeles City used to be a thriving red light district frequented by
visiting American airmen from the nearby Clark Air Base, which has
been converted by the government into an economic zone.
   The bars have announced a contest for Internet surfers to concoct
potent mixtures and names for cocktails flavored with the popular
anti-impotence pill, which the government is still testing for
possible harmful effects before it is retailed in the widely
conservative and predominantly Roman Catholic nation.
   Those whose suggestions land on the bars' shortlist will receive a
coupon for a 50-percent discount at all bars in the town, the report
said.
   Twenty-five finalists will also receive prizes ranging from an
11-page Time magazine story on Viagra to a free copy of a penis size
survey complete with graphics, the report said.
   "So far, 25 names have made it as finalists among them, Einstein,
Don King, Hans Solo, Edison, Gates and Peewee Herman," the report
added.
   The bars' website is: http://www.voodoo.to .
   Two curious Filipino tourists in their mid-50s recently visited the
strip to check out the advertisement, but were surprised when the
bartenders looked perplexed leading them to suspect the drinks are
strictly reserved for foreigners.
   "There could be exclusivity here as was the practice when the
Americans were here," lamented one of the tourists, apparently
referring to an old policy in the area dividing bars for foreigners
and locals.

I have his first album; it's 1970 (I think), and was released on
Reprise (in the UK, at least). The outstanding track is "Jumping Jack
Flash", while "Light My Fire" is also very good. These are the only
two "pop" tunes; there is one 15 minute Indian classical style piece,
while the rest are Shankar originals, which are fairly tame and
uninteresting, in my estimation.

A goodie is "Curried Jazz" by the Indo-British Ensemble (on EMI's
Music For Pleasure), which I think is from 1969. As the title
suggests, Indian classical musicians and British jazz musicians join
together. This is great stuff, pretty laid back. I've never heard
anything else like it (did they do another album?). Not really pop,
but I like it a lot.

Ravi Shankar albums are always worth picking up, I think. A cool one
is "Transformation Macabre", the soundtrack to a British artfilm
("Viola"), with short pieces such as "Madness" and "Death"; much more
eerie and aggressive sitar/tabla playing than I've heard
elsewhere. Again, not really pop, but fascinating.

My tuppence worth.

A great collection of the older Hindi film music is to be had on the
"Golden Voices of the Silver Screen" series of three volumes on the
GlobeStyle label(vol. 2-#56,vol.3-#59, never been able to get vol.1). The
range is from the late fifties through the early seventies, prime exotica
period and as with most of the the best exotica, the arrangements
rule.The tune "Jaan Pehchaa Ho" by Mohamed Raffi is such a great rocked
out song it'll make you crazy! (I have a single by some band that
actually covered this song, hmmm, I'll have to dig it out.)
BTW many of the souces to Najma's cover versions can be found here.
As someone else suggested, check out any Indian markets, most major
cities with a "little India" will have at least one Video/CD store.
Whenever I stop by Jersey City  I try to go to the Indian shop
there(Journal Square area). Although it can be hard to find the older
stuff.

I have an Ananda Shankar album "Sa-re-ga Machan" The liner notes say that
he is the son of world famous dancers Uday and Amala Shankar and nephew
of Ravi Shankar. It's a great small studio orch. with some very special
synth/guitar effects in the mix of this instrumental album.Over all its a
moody, soundscape, kinda poppy,kinda background album.

For years I've been trying to find another Sunil Ganguly album. I have
"Magic Melody" a nice moody instrumental album with Ganguly playing a
sort of slide electric guitar, Indian style. It's definetly Indian pop
and he seems to be playing songs from movies. The back of the jacket
shows pictures of four other albums by him that I've spent so long
looking for them I've pretty much given up.This is one of those albums
that I've listened to so many times (I had the foresight to tape it) that
I could probably hum the whole album from memory.

Both of these albums are on EMI (India).

Domestic Capitol also released a couple of not-great-but-still-OK albums
of Film music which don't come close to the GoldenVoices collections.

To which I reply, *five* WCS titles? Isn't that overkill? One thing I love
about the series is that each disc strives to carve out its own niche. This
seems headed in the opposite direction entirely.

Besides, there are much better volumes I'd rather see sequels to (The Crime
Scene, for instance).
