Yes.  I picked this one up over the weekend. Some of the songs provide
good campy, poppy fun - (such as Yellow Submarine, sung as "Yella
Submarine"), Others are bland folky cheese.

Also found Les Baxter's Moog Rock in the same bin. This turned out not
to be what I had expected. As some probably know, there are no baxter
originals on this album. Like "The Moog Strikes Bach...", Everything You
Ever Wanted to Hear on the Moog...", it's a collection of
classical/modern works performed on electronic instruments. Unlike the
other two lps I mentioned, the alien sound of the Moog (accompanied by
the Novachord)  is not accentuated, but a more melodic effect is
achieved. The songs are  performed to a Latin beat. I was happy to find
this one as the two attempts I have made to buy the bootleg CD never
worked out.

Well, I've enjoyed stuff like that when it was new (some ten years ago).
But I don't think that topical programming can still be done at such a
basic level without getting boring - the time when any topical
programming by non-educative criteria was a change from the usual artist
or label portrait is over, especially where ideas as generic as "lets do
an entire program of Song X cover versions" are concerned.

Of course it will depend on the way it is done - just playing some
thirty versions of one song probably will not get exciting no matter how
smart the ordering and mixing is, but good text might make it worth
while. But doing research and writing text at a quality level that could
warrant listening to 90 minutes of Caravan won't be easy, IMHO.

I've got this album.

I felt like most of the arrangement were "pedestrian" at best - with a few =
enjoyable cuts.

I wouldn't dare mention Cates in the same breath as Denny, etc. as Robert =
did!

An "okay" addition but not a "must have" by a long shot.

You would surely have to have a loyal listenership.  It works for the Exotic
Trilogy tho.  Of course you can always turn off the CD.  I have to admit, the
format is interesting but I do prefer the variety of a show, say like The
Retro Cocktail Hour.  They do theme shows sometimes and occasionally play a
variation on a tune.

Anyway,  I am sure the above quoted passage will generate a lot (of heat???)
on our humble list.

Please don't miss the point.  Being a devout Denny fan I would never suggest
Cates as equal status.  The point of my post was to indicate that Cates
positioned himself right between Baxter and Denny.  The percussion of Denny
and the melodic orchestration of Baxter.

As for followers of Exotica.  If you find this album in a Salvation record ben
for 50 cents as I did I would say that it is a "must have".  I helps round off
a true exoticat's collection.

Plus, you have a likeness of Otto on the back as a bonus.

Well, my own name is Vern, and I was especially struck by the timliness
of this commercial.  I saw it for the first time the week after I threw
my own personal tiki party. Of course, the 'cartoon' Vern was more
rotund and more bald than I am, but overall I liked the spirit of the
whole thing.

One other good 'Vern' coincidence you might be amused by.  About 12
years ago I went to visit family in Wisconsin for Christmas, and while
there I bought an inflatable blue cow which was advertising the famous
Wisconsin cheese. Of course, I told a few of my co-workers about it to
humor them a bit.  Two days later the Far Side cartoon in the newspaper
featured two bulls sitting in a living room.  One is blowing up an
inflatable cow, while the other one is saying "She's Looking Good, Vern"

My name seems to be a good name for cartoonish characters I guess

First of all let me mention that this is Charles' second rather acid
coment on a post of mine within the last week. So, I'm not all too sure
if it's something personal.

Actually I was going to comment on this reply but, after re-reading it I
realize that it's far too idiotic a post the comment on.

Really, songs about vomit?
And how the hell am I being pretensious and self-indulgent?

Plaese stop me before I burst in flames.

Allow me to jump into the discussion (wearing my asbestos suit, of
course).  I must say that I have harboured the idea of doing a one-song
show for quite a while.  Of course, Space Bop is only one hour long,
which would make it a lot easier to do.  However, I would probably only
end up doing about 6 versions of the same song, in all likelihood.  For
example, I have 6 or 8 versions of "These Boots Are Made For Walking",
in a variety of languages, and some without vocals altogether.  You
could play all of them back to back, and marvel at just how different
they all are!

Of course, people can always change the dial if they don't like what
they're listening to.  That's their prerogative.  Evidently, one
wouldn't play weeks on end of one-show-only songs, but once would be a
fun idea.

The thrust of Vern's story on the California Poppy Pickers was that it was
total Hippy/California Lifestyle-sploitation project aimed at consumers who
wanted to be groovy but hadn't either clue or personal taste... The buyer of
the album bought the image--apparently the cover is sort of soft focus and
kind of Peter Max-y in a vague way  The Poppy Pickers themselves are wearing
state-of-the-art California smiles,  mod clothes and long hair and have that

I think Cheryl has a  somewhat middle ground approach.  These older tunes
(like Boots) are about 2.5 to 3.5 minutes long and six songs in a row would
only last about 25 minutes max.

Of course all my versions of "Vomit" are about 6 minutes long and I guess
after about 25 minutes of listening to vomit music I would probably change
stations.

Now my "Puke" recordings are only about 3 minutes long so I guess I could
listen to about 20 minutes of those.

My "Dingleberry" songs (of which I do not like as much as my "Vomit" or "Puke"
variations) are 4 minutes long but because of my lack of fondness for these I
could only stand one or two versions.

On the subject,  I hear that there is a rare version of "Vomit" by Martin
Denny that has the various animals and birds wretching in the background.  Now
I bet that is a good version of "Vomit".

Feeling slightly nauseous,

Robert

Let me add to my earlier comment, I would truly ENJOY hearing 11/2 hours of
good versions of "Caravan" and can see how it could be done to great
effect...alternating a serious jazz version with a moog version followed by
Lambert, Hendrics, and Ross then intermixing some sound bites from Ellington
interviews, etc.

I would still like to hear the vomit show, but for different reasons.

I've got to say that I have on several occasions played several different
versions of the same song back to back to back when I am DJing out.
Sometimes just to see if anyone is paying attention. Sometimes because I
think they are all different and rather amazing. Sometimes to simply try to
drive people nuts. But whenever I do it, I have a strong sense of purpose
and rather enjoy it. And listening to something like this is the kind of
thing that makes me smile. I wish more people did it. As long as the
versions are good.

I don't think so at all.  I can listen to Thunderball all day long.  Then
again, I also listen to field recordings of birds and insects, so whadda I
know?

Tuesday. They have a strange pattern to the showings -- they're beginning with
the last film and working their way back to the first. Then they run through
them in the proper order. Then backwards again. Then forwards again! And they
have a couple of "behind the scenes" documentary films thrown randomly into
every cycle -- I think that's just to confuse us even more when programming the
VCR. The letterbox format showings are reserved for the last cycle. Here's the
details (eastern daylight times):

SUNDAY

9:00am - Battle For The Planet Of The Apes (1973)

10:30am - Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes (1972)

Noon - Escape From The Planet Of The Apes (1971)

Subject: (exotica) The Breeze & I  (25versions)

Thank you all for all the recent input on =
multiple-versions-one-song-shows. Tonight I had my first as part of a =
regular first Tuesday of the month feature show.
I made a point of soliciting listener input and the response was =
overwhelmingly positive!

I chose the song The Breeze and I as topical  because of recent =
hurricane activity and a local freak wind storm last week. The 25 =
version dovetails nicely to the stations celebration of it's 25th =
anniversary and by being careful of my announcing time I hope to be =
able to do 25 each time.

The Breeze & I Playlist

Charles Magnante/Romantic Accordion
Eddie Layton/No Blues on this Cruise
David Carroll/ House Party Discotheque

Ted Heath/ Latin Swingers
Marty Gold/24 Pieces of Gold
Ferrante & Teicher/ Sound Proof
The Rhythm Rockers/ Soul Surfin'

I took my usual four or five breaks to announce, I say this because I =
think that some of the downer thoughts on this kind of show was with =
the mistaken belief that the versions would be a continuous flow with =
no little islands of respite....
I must say that the averall sound of the mix was pretty good. Sure =
there were a few weaker cuts but there were no overtly "bad" versions.
Stand out versions were the Eddie Layton (I love it when organ =
players make wind sounds),
Leo Diamond a multiple harmonica arrangement, Ferrante and Teicher in =
their very early days sounding like John Cage and The Persuasive =
Percussion natch.

Subject: (exotica) Okay, My Playlist

Well since everybody's gettin' into da act, here's my playlist for 9/1/98 on
KUSF, 90.3 FM, San Francisco  (www.kusf.org).

Of immediate interest to this group is THE FUTURE SOUND OF LESIMAN (Right
Tempo) and PHASE SIX SUPER STEREO (Plastic), both Italian re-issues of funky
production music.  (Though LESIMAN is a shitty keyboardist, his rhythm
section and effects make it a near-must-have.  And PHASE SIX is a lesser
continuation of the STOROBOSCOPICA comp.)  Exotic moments on CALEXICO
(featuring members of FRIENDS OF DEAN MARTIN maybe?) and new Japanese
releases from TAKAKO MINEKAWA and NEO TROPIC.

Well put!  I second this emotion.  Back when I was in college radio, I
sometimes played maybe five or six versions of a song - the most well known
version, some well-known artists covering the same song, then celebrity
oddities, and finally some loungey versions.  You can't imagine the irate
calls I would get from drunk frat boys.

I just saw a CD of North American frog field recordings on the Smithsonian
Folkways label, orginally released in 1958, "digitally remastered from the
original master tapes."  Woah! You guys take those animal noises seriously!

Isn't it kind of inevitable that collecting exotica is going to lead you to
notice that there are a couple of dozen tunes, of which at least one is
bound to show up on every single record you own?
And it's inevitable that some of the collectors will take special note of
all these different versions.
And it's inevitable that a few of them will devote entire tapes or radio
shows to these "classics".

I've never really heard an exotica radio show but I suspect that if I
turned on such a show and had it on in the "background", it would probably
take me at least a half hour before I noticed that they were playing
different versions of the same song repeatedly.

And after I noticed it, I'd probably forget it soon enough.  I suppose it
could get tiresome but it's the arrangements and the "sounds" that draw me
to this music, not the melodies per se.  If it was a great tune like
Caravan and the arrangements were varied enough I'm sure I'd enjoy an hour
or so.

But the bigger point is that I can't believe someone on this list is
criticizing someone else on the list for exhibiting whacked-out or
obsessive behaviour or for exhibiting strange musical taste.

I'm sure an occasion will arise again for me to write one of my "I can't
believe you like that crap" postings but the truth is that with all the
crap I've listened to in the last few years - all the while telling myself
that I'm trying to ferret out the few hidden gems - I really have lost all
standing to ever again question anything anyone does when it comes to
buying or playing records.

But don't remind me I said that the next time someone mentions Arthur Lyman
or Edmondo Ros.

BTW, I haven't seen it mentioned here so I'll report that the new issue of
WIRED with John Fahey on the cover, has an article which appears to be
about exotica, Martin Denny, Yma Sumac, Arthur Lyman and how the music was
influenced by Hawaii or some such thing.  With all the crappy records I'm
buying, I can't afford magazines.

I remember spending a new years night in this bar on a boat at the kay
of the river Rhine in Dusseldorf, called "Koller's Kahn", when the DJ
started to play the same record (Gentle on my mind) over and over again
for like one and a half hours. It was a tremendous success, people went
absolutely crazy, sang along and danced on the tables and by the time it
was midnight almost smashed the whole place in excitement. It was as if
since the music wouldn't play its role as the background entertainment
anymore people would be challenged to do something of their own, become
active and take entertainment into their own hands. Well, the late
seventies were a good time for pranks of all kinds anyway...  today...
I dunno.

Yeah, but after about 5 versions of that I am pretty drunk and don't know the
difference anyway.  I prefer Caravan sober.  Now when I listen to "Vomit" I
usually have a large meal consisting of raw meat (and lots of it), raw eggs,
pepper, mustard and anchovies.

So just in case there's any confusion on the list:

Self indulgent - Using one's allotted opportunity in the public eye to
entertain oneself rather than one's public. i.e., playing fucking untold
versions of Caravan because its clever (when really, one's listeners would
far rather hear some entertaining music)

I also liked this quote: 'I say play your show the way you wanna play it
and if some people don't like it, the hell with 'em' - quality.

I'm DJing tomorrow and I'm looking for suggestions for the most annoying
set I could play. I'm not sure that I could top an hours worth of Caravan
or even an amusing collection of songs about vomit but I think I could
definately get people's backs up with a well-chosen set. I'm only in a
South London pub so lets really let fly and I'll take the piss and then let
you all know the result.

OK, this is a true story.  My roommates held a party for me on the occasion of
my 21st birthday.  In keeping with the tradition of the 21st birthday party I
perhaps overindulged on the alcohol.  After the guests left I played the song
"Turtles And Trees" by Bobby Sherman over and over on the stereo, quite
loudly.  This went on for atleast 3 or 4 hours.  The following morning
Jeanette, one of my roommates, said I was lucky she had not killed me.

Be gentle with the flames, this was well over ten years ago.
