Subject: (exotica) Louis  Philippe

 I finally got ahold of my second Louis Philippe cd, on the Humbug
lable (BAH 23) (1994).

 I purchased it from Tom at :

 [e-mail]

 Louis Philppe really has a very easy melodic wistful way of singing
that should appeal to everyone on this list who likes vocals.  The
last cd I purchased from him was called Jackie Girl  (Siesta 56) with
a picture of Jackie de Shannon on the cover. Many of the songs on it
were inspired by her image.  I like both cds a lot and I can't stop
playing them except to listen to Trembling Blue Stars & a v/a
compilation  from the Sarah label.

 Easy Listening in the Big Easy,
 Chuck

Lazlo:

Since you are wading through so many lists and letting them wash over
you,  I am wondering if you  would tell us how exotica compares to
other mailing lists.
Does Exotica have more posts than other lists?
Are our posts longer?
Do our posts cover more topics than other lists?

Any insights you have are welcome,  Thanks

Easy Listening in the Big Easy,
Chuck

Subject: (exotica) You like I should cha cha?

Now, let's see, what should I put on the flipside of that Irving Fields
Trio's "Bagels & Bongos" tape?  Mayhaps "More Bagels and Bongos"?  Nahh ...
a little bit of Irving Fields goes a long way.  Longer than it deserves to,
really.

Hey!  This'll work just fine.  From a thrift store in West Philly (fronting
an evangelical revival meeting, I should add) yesterday: "My Bubba and
Zaedas Cha Cha Cha" by the confoundingly named Sy Menchin & His Steven
Scott Orchestra.  (Cryptic cause there's no Steven Scott to be found,
though everyone else is accounted for.)

From the back cover:

"The bubbas and zaedas of yesteryear are rapidly becoming a fond memory of
the past ... giving way to an entirely new kind of swinging, living and
active bubbas and zaedas [who] today lead an up-tempo life.  ...

"More and more are learning to dance the modern dances and it is not
infrequent when a handsome, grey-hared, well dressed zaeda swing-steps up
to the trumpet player and bellows with a smile on his face, `How about a
cha cha.'"

[If I ever saw my goyim grandfather so much as take a single swing step I
must be repressing it.]

Incidentally, Zaeda's on the cover cha cha'ing with a 10" stogie that'll
sear poor Bubba's nose if she so much as breathes.

Hey, while (sorta) on this topic:  anyone ever heard the Barry Sister's
cover of "Who's Sorry Now?"  The most offensive <<and hilarious>>
cross-ethnic sterotyping ever committed to vinyl groove.  Done in the
broadest no-tickee-no-laundry-u-rikee-my-dotta?-flied-lice Charlie Chan
dialect ... turning it into "Who Solly Now?" with the Vegas-styled brass
backup doing those cliched chops you always hear when Occidental songs take
the Oriental turn.  The Barries finish off with a "Ahhhh soooo .... ah,
tuka tuka" that'll make you turn the volume way down fast if you want to
avoid being charged with a hate crime.

Oy, if only I'd been into thrifting back when I was a squirt growing up in
Miami.  The Miami Beach Salvation Armies must turn up some great stuff ...

No.  Things have generally held steady in number for the last two-and-a-half
years.

I don't know that any of these questions are really meaningful.  I'm on lists
with more postings than here, and I'm also on lists with fewer postings.
Posting size seems average, and I don't even know how to judge topic range --
we're mostly *on* topic, and that's all I usually notice.  (For the record,
the two most regularly off-topic lists I'm on are alloy [the Thomas Dolby
list] and the dirtylist [for Underworld, Freur, et al.].  You're lucky to get
10% relevant posts on some days...)

Yeah, but this is the same disc where they brag about the "crackling" of the
dome they were playing in as the sun arises over Hawaii.  They apparently
thought that was "authentic".  Sounds to me more like "shoestring" as in, we got
one take to do this right so we can get the LP out.

Know what I mean?

I recently picked up a similar 78. Since I'm not at home right now & my
short-term memory is fading fast, I'm not 100% sure of the details... I
think the recording is of The Bennett Sisters doing "Wishee Washee", a song
about a Chinese laundry boy. I will post more details when I get home
(unless there's a resounding request for me to not post).

Subject: (exotica) Records that aren't bad

Whenever I hear a record that's better than I thought it should be, I
wonder if it's something sort of "famous" that I've just never heard of.
I'll mention the band and someone on the list will launch into a whole
thing about them.
But I doubt it this time..

BIG BEN HAWAIIAN BAND
This is one cut on a strange compilation record, "Music for the two of you".
They do a version of "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine in" that's good enough to
make me go back on my "no more songs from Hair" rules.  It's sort of
Hawaiian, sort of not.  I don't think I've ever heard anything like it.

By the way, this compilation, on Polydor also contains both Roberto Delgado
and a cut by Augusto Alguero ("Magico Sonido") who were mentioned here
recently.

And I have to say that I have one spectacular Roberto Delgado record but
I've never found another one that was even comparable, making me think that
the "This is Reggae" record (which it isn't) is a huge anomaly.

KARL SWOBODA "Top hits for Zither"
Judging from the cover, this was going to be as corny as it gets.  But it's
so NOT corny.  In fact it's one of those records that almost too good or
too "legitimate" to enjoy.  There's a version of "Take Five" that's good
enough to throw on a groovy jazz compilation and not have someone say
"what's that weirdo zither tune doing there?"  I wish this were a little
cornier but the record really makes me wonder about the guy.

SERGE REGGIANI
I always keep an eye out for records that are like "I'm not going to find
any Serge Gainsbourg vinyl but maybe there's someone like him that hasn't
been identified yet".  I have found a couple of Francois Hardy records and
one of them was great but mostly you find Charles Aznavour sounding stuff.
And that's what this is.  Sort of.  This guy gets all strangely excited at
the emotional peak of the song and his voice starts shaking in a way like
he's trying to control it but it's getting the better of him.
If I was really a fan of this kind of stuff, I think I'd love this record.
I bet someone here would.

I also got some records given to me that were a bit too rare or cool for
someone to just give them to you, so something tells me I shouldn't mention
them here.  But one of them had Leslie Baxter and theremin.. I'll wait till
after the long weekend to post that.

Nat

This is a British Band, much better know under a slightly different guise
as the Big Ben Banjo Band.  A sort of alliterative UK version of the Ferko
genre of string bands.  May even have been yet another alias of Geoff Love.

Subject: Re: (exotica) The Love Boat

Since your talking about the love boat I have to point out one of the
oddest records that I have ever found. Namely the  12 inch disco remix of
the Love Boat theme by Key Hano.     three minutes of syrup dragged into a
grueling 13,   with a drumbeat that makes Perry  Como  seem like James
Brown, it barely qualifies as disco.   Alas no vocals or at least none that
I recall....

Just in case any of the pop culture mavens out here missed it, Stephen
Davis (who wrote the very juicy Led Zep bio "Hammer of the Gods") tells the
story of Bob Smith in his book "Hey Kids, What Time Is It?" Bob Smith was
not only  a TV pioneer, he was one heck of a character also. The book was
obviously a labor of love for Davis; he was also a member of the Peanut

Subject: (exotica) On Thrift Store Shopping...

I've have to add my comments on the whole notion of thrift
store record shopping since I recently decided to try it out while
visiting last week in Western Canada. Here's what I have to say about
it, at least from my perspective:

First, I felt uncomfortable going in, feeling I was being stared at.
Once inside, I felt even less comfortable seeing as the place was
clearly full of junk that people throw out AFTER garage sales and
that most, if not all of the other people in the store were shopping
there out of necessity. They were surprisingly clean and quite well
organized, in fact they reminded me a bit of a TJ Maxx store which
says very little for TJ Maxx, but ... I was actually puzzled to see
records as they are clearly not a necessity but I then noticed the
pile of old and mostly broken stero equipment (including 8 tracks and
turntables) and realized that it's simply another old technology
being disposed of.  The pile (and I mean literally pile!) of broken
and obsolete computer equipmment I saw for sale in one store, that I
know will never work really saddened me. I was instantly reminded
of my eye-opening experience visiting India some years back but
was most struck by how I was here and now in the country the UN voted
best place in the world to live!  My depression worsened and I looked
through the records fast thinking I wanted to get out quickly...

I say this all for the simple reason that shopping for used records is
something I've been doing for nearly 25 years and I've spent a
lot of my free time doing it. Why I do it is because I enjoy music
and enjoy the stores. I also enjoy shopping in used bookstores for
the same reason.  People working in these places actually
(there are exceptions...) enjoy books and music too or they wouldn't
be doing it, and that heightens the experience. Shopping in the
thrift store was NOT enjoyable, in fact it was completely the
opposite.  Not to say no one should do this, it certainly is up to
each person to do as he or she wishes.  Not for this cowboy though!

BTW, I didn't find any particularly good records and the four I did
pick up I probably should have left. At least the non-profit
organization that runs the place made $4 that went to a good
cause, so I don't feel so bad about it.

A strange aside from thas is that as I've accumulated a significant
number of records and books these last years that came out of
basements (my parents included!) and have that musty odour embedded
in the covers and jackets. The room where I store my records has
started to smell a bit like the musty basement these records came
from yet it's on the 2nd floor!  Has anyone else encountered this or
found a way to deal with it?

Subject: Re: (exotica) On Thrift Store Shopping...

If I may respectfully say so, it seems to me that perhaps your problem
with thrift store shopping has more to do with your own attitudes and
biases than anything else. By your own account, you were uncomfortable and
ill at ease before you even went in- if other people were staring at you
perhaps it was because they picked up on this sense of unease, this sense
you had that you were in some way slumming. And then you say the store was
"surprisingly" clean. Why was this so surprising? I'm sorry- it just seems
to me that you went into the store with the wrong attitude- you expected a
poor experiance and then- shockingly enough- you actually had one. I
encourage you to have a more open mind and perhaps try thrifting again.
I too shop at used book and record stores. And I can report that I have
often bumped into book and record dealers at thrift stores, picking up
items which they then re-sell for much higher prices in their stores. IN
fact, in Indianapolis, there is a yuppie- oriented, high priced antique
mall a block or two away from a large thrift store. I suppose I am one of
the few people who is a regular patron of both establishments. But,
anyway, the owner of the mall has admitted to me that he regularly picks
up stuff at the thrift store for next to nothing and then resells them at
inflationary prices to dopes who would never think to check out thrift
stores.So again, pretty much all I can say is I really encourgae you to
give thrifting another chance.

Me too.  I saw the local record-shop guy at the thrifts, and since I
occasionally browse in his store and our kids are in the same grade and
school, went over to say hello.  I made a mental note of the albums he was
obviously going to buy (for 50 cents), and went to his store the next day.
Sure enough, in his "just in" bin, there they were - priced between $5 and
$20.

I much prefer mingling with the down-and-outs at thrifts than being
suckered into paying more at a trendy shop, simply because the clientele
have better incomes!

Yes, I own many titles from your label. I am a friend of Gert-Jan Blom,
Piet Schreuders and Irwin Chusid.

You should definitely try the Exotica list. Messages can be sent to -
[e-mail]

There are around 400 people on that list, including folks from Sweden,
Germany, South Africa, Japan, Canada, England, Holland and the U.S.

I would think that a vinyl release of SSFB would be most appreciated by
DJ's, as there is certainly much that could be used in a dance/chill out
type of setting. I think a small run (like around 1000 pieces) would be
sufficient for the albums.

=46eel free to contact me with any other questions. I should be in Amsterdam
with my band, Combustible Edison, later this year.

Subject: (exotica) new Tiki bar, SF

The grand opening of a new Tiki bar will take place this Wednesday, August 5,
from 7 pm to 12 midnight

Complimentary Puu Puus, free plastic monkeys with every drink, menu of
Polynesian drinks (not complimentary)

Music dj'ed by Otto von Stroheim begins at 8 pm

To get in free tell the doorman you are on "Dj Otto's guest list"

The Bamboo Hut is at 473 Broadway near Kearny in North Beach (San Francisco)
It is part of, or next door to, the HiBall Lounge.

It is cool. Drinks are served in Tiki mugs. Lighted blowfish hang over the
booths. One wall is a faux lavarock waterfall topped with the coup de gras - a
vintage wooden Tiki head relic from the former grand Polynesian palace The
Coral Reef, Sacramento. This head dates back to the inception of that
restaurant (circa late 40s) and is said to have been atop the roof of The
Coral Reef.

Come on, Otto! Don't you know that for someone who's 5000 miles away from SF
an ad like that is MENTAL TORTURE?

Subject: Re: (exotica) On Thrift Store Shopping...

It looks like thrift shops are amazingly different. I went to stores all
over America, big cities and little hole-and-corner-towns (I've got that
expression from the dictionary) as well. There were times when more than
half of my wardrobe consisted of thrift shop finds. I used to be proud
that everything on my body costed less than 10$ all together. I just
sold two Hawaiian shirts I bought in  a salvation shop in San Jose 1979
for a Dollar to the Subliminal shop in Stockholm and got a copy of the
Hawaiian Eye LP for it... And records, of course: Once you've found an
Exotica 1 Mono or Perez Prado Voodoo Suite in lava red vinyl for 50c you
wouldn't complain about some other junk that might be in the thrift
shops. How about vintage Apple One computers...I know it takes to be a
nerd to collect those but one day they will be incredible collectors
items and you could get them for 5$ in a thrift shop in Glendale two
years ago. Is Canada that different?
