Not really, only a recent convert. I can easily hear Initials BB 50 times in
a row.

Anyone can pinpoint me to  the original version of "Le Chanson de Slogan"?
There's a cover by Blonde Redhead on that Gainsbourg volume of the Great
Jewish Music series and it has some utterly mesmerizing chords. Curious how
the original sounds like.

Thanks Lou... Hey While we are on the subject of old time radio,
a GREAT RealAudio site is Yesterday USA - a 24/7 netcast station

Hehehhehhe... I hope you were being sarcastic about it being an uncommon
practice. In my househlod (shared with three other college guys) we had
a particular gatefolded Bob Marley album (I believe it was Rastaman
Vibration) that was our designated "rolling" platform.

But as stoned as I was, I NEVER hung 45's on my ears.

>So who's got a collectors database going?

 Me.  Two, actually.  Well, better make that four.  All in MS Access.

One is to list my cd's, the other is to list every song on each cd.  The
other two are the same but for vinyl, but they haven't been started yet.  I
wanted to finish the cd ones first.

The cd list has the following fields:  Artist name, cd title, label, cat#,
year of release, remastering credits (whom and what studio, if available),
and then try to categorize it, which I've limited to four fields.  This
database is completed.

The cd song list has the following fields: Artist name, title of song, cd
title that it came from, year the song was ORIGINALLY released (or
recorded), songwriter(s), and the four-field category.  This is a monstrous
task.  I've entered about 8000 so far, and I expect it to be at about
45,000 songs when completed.  I have lots of compilation discs (which often
don't list the year released or songwriter, so there's been lots of
research involved), so it's pretty neat to put the database's artist field
in alphabetical order to see how many songs I have by a particular artist,
or the song list to see what songs were covered by different artists, or
the songwriters different songs, making tapes specific by year, etc.

I imagine the vinyl databases will be similar in layout to the cd
databases, but I'm not going to think about it too hard till I finish the
behemoth cd song list.

Subject: (exotica) Question List

 1. Are you a musician? Explain..

Yessiree I am, I play guitar, bass, drums and anything else I can fake. I
currently play in a group called the Gearginders (hence the name,
Grinderman), and drums in an outfit called Drunkabilly.  I also like to
record tracks myself using a 4-track.  Lately I've been composing some
funky-porno-go-go-vamps.



 2. Space-age/exotic LP/CD that turned you on to this?

My just deceased grandpa's Esquivel-Strings Aflame reel to reel.  He had
a dark/electonics room in his house and I would gaze in awe at all the
hi-fi splendor, reel machines, movie and slide projectors.



 3. This list could help you more by...

It already helps, I've asked numerous questions about various topics and
recieved well-informed answers.  I've learned a hellava lot in the few
short months I've been on exotica.



 4. Other exotica/things you collect

Records, of course, furniture, lamps, ashtrays, and anything else I can
fanagle at the flea market.



 5. Unrelated music genres/acts you like

I come from mostly punk roots, Ramones, Dead Boys, Johnny Thunders, Patti
Smith.  I'm also into a lot of psych/garage/rockabilly right on up to
ABBA.



 6. What are you just dying to tell us?

UGGA BUGGA, BUNGA LUNGA WONGA!!!



 7. Initials you prefer, CD or LP?  And why do you?

LP.  Sound and asthetic reasons, although I think cd's are a nessesary
evil.



 8. Own a fez?  If so, what color, texture and tassel color? Describe
it or other lounge-wear of which you are proud?

Sorry, no fezes.  I have a couple of swingin' pinstripe suits though.



 9. Shaken or stirred?

Yes.



 10. I clean my LPs with ...

Formaldahide and spit.

Subject: (exotica) A Swingin'  Question

Has anybody heard of West Coast Swing? My soul record detective (Mr. Eddie B)
tells me that its a new black sound emanating from the left coast and that
it's hot. I asked him to name some groups, songs. He said he know very little,
but was going to hear a DJ this Saturday night somewhere on the north shore
above Boston, and stressed that its more smooth and laid back than the Big Bad
Cherry-Poppin' sound I referred to. He named one group, "Bad To The Bone" who
have a song that is an excellent instrumental. It gets played as a show-ender
for our weekly Disco-Dusty night at Il Panino on Thursday nights in
Boston....Does anyone know anything about this sound??..Jimmy

Subject: (exotica) Eldon Shamblin obit

    TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Eldon Shamblin, a guitarist whose fluid style and
western-swing innovations helped create the classic sound of Bob Wills and
the Texas Playboys, died Wednesday of heart failure. He was 82.
    Rolling Stone magazine called Shamblin ``the world's greatest rhythm guitar
player.'' Musician magazine dubbed him one of the ``most important prime
movers in guitar history.''
    Shamblin contributed a jazz influence to the Texas Playboys, arranging such
swing standards as ``San Antonio Rose'' and ``Faded Love'' before leaving
the Wills band in 1959.
    After Wills' death, Shamblin kept the swing sound alive by joining a group
called the Bob Wills' Original Texas Playboys. He toured and recorded with
Merle Haggard from 1975 until the mid 1990s. He came out with his final solo
album at age 80.

Disc-O-Logue--French Language Popular Recording Catalog
http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/discologue/

Can't remember who sang "La Machine a Laver"? Disc-O-Logue, the catalogue
of French-language popular music recordings, has the answer for you.
Disc-O-Logue, a music publication created by Louise Lamothe listing French
language songs from Canada, France, and other parts of the French-speaking
world, was available in Canada for LPs and 45-rpm discs from 1962 to 1979.
The National Library of Canada acquired the Disc-O-Logue archive in 1986
and has converted part of the it, information on 90,000 songs, into a
database which can be searched by song title, performer, composer, format,
and label. In addition, the site features a gallery of album cover artwork,
examples of best seller lists from 1963 to 1966, and a description of
Madame Lamothe's process of creating Disc-O-Logue.

I don't know if mine beats that but I took my wife (for her birthday this past
April) to see Vic Damone.  Now we are in our mid thirties and I swear, we were
the youngest ones at this rather large theater.  After Randell's Esquire
article about how the kids (i.e. 20somethings) were eating up Damone I thought
we would at least see a few more people there with at least some remaning (or

Subject: (exotica) I love The Drake

Someone - I can't remember who - turned me on to this Pete Drake steel
guitarist awhile back.  They put the tune "Ain't She Sweet" on a comp tape.  I
marveled at the puzzling technique he used to make his guitar "talk".  Or at
least if sounded like that.  Not really sure how he did it - sort of like the
sonovox in Sparky's Magic Piano or Rusty In Orchestraville.

I stored the name Pete Drake in my memory bank and checked around for his LP's
ever since.  Never saw a one until I picked this up just today:

Pete Drake "Steel Away" on Canaan Records, CAS-9640.  Looks like mid 60's.
Another Waco Texas religious label with THE FOUR GUYS backing Pete up on
vocals.  "Gospel Music At It's Best" with titles such as Happy Trails, What A
Friend, When They Ring Those Golden Bells, The Eyes Of Jesus and Stairway To
Heaven.

Ain't She Sweet is not on this record, but I was pleased to hear that a number
of tracks do have what must be his trademark technique of making his guitar
"talk".

File under Incredibly Strange Religious Music - right next to whistling Ralph
Platt and Marcy.

>>>Hey, by the way: My records are currently in NO PARTICULAR ORDER.

I've got a friend who has all of his ten thousand or so albums in
alphabetical order regardless of genre.  I found that especially strange
but apparently there are others like that.

I have my records in approximately twenty categories.  The jazz, country,
bluegrass, blues, R&B and rock are each in alphabetical order.  The other
fifteen or so categories - which more or less make up the stuff we talk
about here - are NOT in alphabetical order.

My rationale - and it makes sense to me - is that when I want to play a
jazz record, it's quite possible I might think to myself "How about Sonny
Rollins?" so this way I can find Sonny Rollins easily.

Whereas it's very seldom I think to myself "How about some Lenny Dee?".  I
might think "how about some cheesy organ" and so Lenny and Sir Julian and
Eddie Osborne and George Wright etc are in a group together.  I don' t
really care about finding a particular record, just as long as I can flip
through a bunch of them... so they don't need to be in any particular order.

I know a couple of people who not only keep the records in alphabetical
order but within each individual artist's collection, the records are in
order of release.  Makes sense I guess.

And my favourite ever was the guy who had his records grouped together by
the colour of the spine.  Think about that one for a second.  All the red
spines together, moving to orange, then green...

Unfortunately most spines are white and it also made finding records hell.

My collection is also in strict alphabetical order with no regard to genre.
Some things are just to hard for me to classify.  However, a good stack of 100
or so LPs always stays unaplhabetized, as I am to lazy to immediately re-
alphabatize after a listening session.  Also, my 500 or so singles are not
ordered in anyway (except I generally know which stack a certain 45 is most
likely to be in) making finding them a real pain.

I would also like to get ahold of the program that automatically lists any CD
placed in the computer disc drive.  I'd just listen to my collection over
several years, and voila -- all would be catalogued!

FYI, Canaan is not "Another Waco Texas religious label."  Canaan was the Southern
(or country) Gospel label of Word Records.  During the 60's and on into the 70's I
would guess that they were the largest Christian record company.  Most all of the
stuff Word put out was top-notch.  I seem to remember they were purchased by ABC
in the mid-70's.

Canaan records also has what is billed as the first Moog-Ssynthesized
worship album... Geez I wish I could remember the name.... It's pretty
deranged...musicially, there's nothing much to write the Pastor about,
though.

As I remember, there was a reference in the liners of how the Moog needed to
be
"approved" for worship before the deal could go down. Apparently, there was
some
opposition.

The real payoff on that record was the cartoon on the back of the
"conductor" asking
the moogist (???) where the string section is while he puzzles over all the
wires
on the contraption.  Heee HEEE, them Christians are blessed with HUMOR!!!

Hello,

Keep It Compact and other CD database tools on this page:

http://www.cddb.com:80/downloads/index.html

can link to the online cddb (cd database) and put in cd artist, cdtitle and
track
titles, if someone has already put them in the database.  It is a very large
database.  Some of the players do the same thing, like CD Valet.

    Jean Jacques Perrey is back, which on itself is great, although
this LP is certainly not the best thing he ever did. Side A is more a
novelty than a Moog record, full of musical jokes. The whole LP lacks good
melodies. Instead of writing the melody first, and then playing it with
lots of funny sounds, they seam to have worked the other way 'round,  by
chaining wacky sounds without hardly any melodic structure. Side B is the
more serious side, with disco/house/technoid rhythms that might be too
aggressive for the typical "old" J.J. Perrey fan, but then again, they
might attract a whole new and young public. rated 3/5.

Subject: (exotica) Impending Enoch

Hello again, Exotica listers:

A reminder to folks that the transatlantic Enoch Light birthday memorial
events in New York City, Kent (Ohio), Minneapolis, Columbus, and Glasgow
Scotland will be happening during the next week or so. For more
information on the events, visit:

http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~rcb/light/birthday/

Also, I'll be going on Zombo's Mondo Record Party Sunday night Aug. 9 on
Akron's WAPS 91.3FM to promote the Kent event. For those of you into that
sort of thing, the station DOES now have a live Real Audio feed (Go to
http://www.wapsfm.com/ and select "Spinning Now"). I'll be playing a lot
of the go-go/spy stuff by Enoch and his contemporaries that I'll be
spinning at the party, as well as some cool E.L. material that wouldn't
mesh as well into the live DJ event but is well worth playing. The radio
show runs from 11 PM to 1 AM (Eastern) -- I know I'll be on the midnight
to 1:00 block -- dunno if I'll be on the 11:00 hour too or not yet.

If memory serves me correct, someone said they were after a Birds & Brass
LP. I have found one in a local shop if anyone is interested. But...are
there more than one Birds & Brass LPs? Because maybe this isn't the one
you're after. I had a listen, and it didn't do it for me, but I have a few
friends that are rather into B&B. Anyway, please get in touch ASAP and I can
procure it for you. It was like =A36. And immaculate.

    Think of carl stalling writing music for some serious thriller
"cartoon", based upon scores written for him by bartok & stravinsky,
instead of raymond scotts. Lots of drum accents and other outbursts of solo
& group instruments. A little bit of special effects, lots and lots of
(((echo))), and tempo changes. Moody, but not dark and certainly not harsh
or atonal! Very entertaining, dramatic, depicts adventure, danger,
mystery... This CD also contains a 16 minute suite (previously unreleased,
it says?) of music from "Escape from the planet of the apes". rated 5/5

Recently re-released 20-bit remastered.  It looks like Reprise is slowly
doing this with Frank's catalogue.

I love when Frank sings "Da Guhl From Eep-uh-neem-uh"

Subject: Re: (exotica) Impending Enoch

Hello all you in Exoticaland--

The transcontinental Enoch Light celebrations prompted me to do a bit of
evangelizing that paid off unexpectedly today. Every Saturday The Lounge
Show airs on K00P, an Austin community station. The impending Enoch
celebrations prompted me to contact the host, Jay Robillard, and tell him
about this lounge high holiday. We chatted and emailed and Jay promised
he'd do something to honor the master.

A lo, he doth celebrate today, playing several Command tunes throughout his
program and yakking about Enoch's labels and musicians. Since I had an
appointment, I heard only the intro tune (something from Faraway Places --
Enoch with harpischord!), but I'm told Enoch got his due throughout the
program.

I would've loved to work on a street dance but perhaps next year. At any
rate, at least the guy got a few new fans deep in the heart of Texas. Maybe
I'll regret this, since I've always found Command lps in the local thrifts.
Nonetheless, thanks, Jay, if you're onlist. And thanks Michael and other
listers for stirring (or was that shaking?) a tsunami of Enoch excitement.

MimiM
