Subject: (exotica) Different Versions

Hi all.

Maybe I dreamed it, but I coulda swore I've seen albums that have 12
versions of the same song. Louie Louie and LaBamba come to mind.

I've heard radio shows that play different versions of the same song,
but they usually break it up with other songs. However, I did once
hear a radio DJ play 8 or 10 different versions of Night and Day, all
in a row, all by Frank Sinatra.

What amuses me, though, is people who sneer at artists who record
covers of hits by others, not realizing that their own fav song is a
cover of someone else's more obscure version. "Elvis' Houd Dog comes
to mind, ditto Fats Dominoe's Blueberry Hill.

Darren!

That was KALX in Berkeley who devoted a day to it in the early 80s.  Got a
lot of press for it at the time.


Here's a start for the vomit song set.  I don't believe Denny or Lyman ever
recorded one.

CARCASS  "Vomited Anal Tract"
DEAD KENNEDYS  "Religious Vomit"
IMPALED NAZARENE  "Rapture Goat Vomit and Gasmasks"
CANNIBAL CORPSE  "Vomit the Soul"
QUEERS  "You Make Me Want to Puke"


And The Queers also lead off our set devoted to flatuence.

QUEERS  "I Can't Stop Farting"
STINKY PUFFS  "I'm Gross"
PELIGRO  "Black Bean Chili Thing"
RED BOVINE  "The Phantom Windbreaker"
DELLWOODS  "It's a Gas"
RICH THE HAPPY COW  "I've Got Gas"
WIG TORTURE  "Ernie Fart"
DURWOOD DOUCHE  "Air for a Dinosaur"
NATIONAL LAMPOON  "Fartman"
 (Bonus:)  CAPTAIN BEEFHART  "Old Fart at Play"


Care for the diarrhea theme set?

It's on "Here Comes Bobby" and the rest of the lyric is even better!  He also
recorded a song titled "Sweet Gingerbread Man" ---

This one had "ahhing" women in the background.  No doubt about the implication

If vomit is the theme, GG Allin, the Mel Torme of the alternative scene,
would be a rich vein to tap: I know he did a little melody called
"Sleeping in My Piss" in which he also muses about sleeping in his
chender. A marginally qualified, but endearingly spunky nominee could be
The Angry Samoan's "The Ballad of Jerry Curlan" ("eats puke! sleeps with
midgets! and drives a ferrari!"). I think there's also a Beat Farmer's
song with vomit in the title.

And the flatulence thing. The Descendents did an lp with one 2-3 minute
track being nothing more than voluble fundamentals and concomitant
giggling.

Subject: (exotica) REVIEW> Jack Costanzo & His Afro-Cuban Band: "Mr. Bongo"

This review has been added to my web site...........
Jack Costanzo & His Afro-Cuban Band: "Mr. Bongo"



REVIEW

Jack "Mr. Bongo" Costanzo is a self-taught, master bongo player, who has
backed lots of big names in show business, and also made several solo
albums. This CD appears to be a compilation drawn from at least a couple of
those. Unfortunately, the notes don't say anything about the origin or
recording dates of the tracks. The keywords here are variation and
versatility: the rhythms and musical styles range from typical Cuban
Guajira ("Meloda De Cana") and Guaracha ("Goza Negra"), over mambo ("La La
La", "Abaniquito"), cha-cha ("El Resbaloso") and other Afro-Cuban patterns,
to boogaloo (which is Latin dancefloor funk-jazz, often with screaming
electric guitar, like here in "Viva Tirado", a song made famous by El
Chicano). Half of the 16 tracks are vocal, the other half instrumental;
except for two tracks ("Bongo Festeris" and "Abaniquito"), the bongo is not
featured as a solo instrument. The repertoire includes Cuban traditionals,
and standards like "Just One Of Those Things", "La Bamba" done as mambo, a
Latin pop version of "Pata Pata", a really stomping "Guantanamera", and by
far the hottest and most swinging version of "Caravan" ever! My favorites
here are: [1] a novelty-esque mambo version of "Chopsticks", that starts
with Eddie Cano's interpretation of his first piano lesson; [2] a
remarkable fusion of Mariachi and boogaloo in "Cu Cu Ru Curu", and [3] last
but not least "Bongo Festeris", THE killer track of the whole CD, with its
ferocious bongo solo. Recommended, especially for Mongo Santamaria and Tito
Puente fans.

i found The California Poppy Pickers' "Hair/Aquarius" uninteresting; these
are just remakes of (and very close to) the originals. i think these were
one of those cash-in records; people heard a tune on the radio, and then
went out to buy a record with that tune, and probably The California Poppy
Pickers' lp's were priced lower than the beatles and the other original
performers' albums?
don't waste your money on them.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Radio broadcasts from hell

inappropriate repetition has influenced my musical tastes profoundly.
one summer when i was 12 or 13 my dad took me camping. he packed a radio
and tuned in every night to a local easy listening station. one night
while i was trying to sleep, the record being played started to skip.
this wasn't abnormal in the vinyl broadcast days, but on this night the dj
never corrected it. the same few bars kept skipping over and over again
for the next few hours. i thought, "my god, has someone killed the dj? did
he get stuck in the bathroom? locked out of the station?"

we never found out. but the repetition, at first annoying, slowly
fascinated me. i heard more and more music within this fractioned rhythm
each time around. it usually has a really cool effect on the brain after a
while, sort of an ecstasy. my first jouney into mind altering substance
abuse.

 after that i never hesitated to play a scratchy record and
scratched a lot of songs i really liked to hear what made a good loop.
later when i became a dj myself, playing vinyl, i always let a good
loop play itself out, mixing loops whenever possible. cd that skip are
pretty cool, too.

Just bought the sept. issue of Record Collector and if anyone's interested
it contains a 7 page article (incl. discography) of Serge Gainsbourg

Other interesting snippets in that issue: news that the Get Carter
soundtrack is getting a proper UK release on CD and vinyl at the end of the
month plus in the "Queasy" section a very favorable review of the reissues
Peter Wyngarde - When Sex Leers It's Inquisitive Head" (RPM 187). Anyone

Subject: Re: (exotica) REVIEW> Jack Costanzo & His Afro-Cuban Band: "Mr. Bongo"

Palladium re-issued this on Lp in the late '80s with only the original
tracks and the sound was much better. I like the boogaloo stuff but it's
odd how GNP mixes them throughout the album instead of at the end.

>The keywords here are variation and
>versatility: the rhythms and musical styles range from typical Cuban
>Guajira ("Meloda De Cana") and Guaracha ("Goza Negra")

"Melado de Cana" is a mis-print. It's really 'Melao de Cana' (Cane Syrup)
and both are Celia Cruz numbers from her years with Sonora Matencera. The
instrumental Melao de Cana is fun but Celia's Goza Negra is 100% better.

By the way, if you like Melao de Cana, Celia sings it in English (very
stupid lyrics but swinging arrangement) on the Mambo Kings soundtrack.

Subject: (exotica) Russ Garcia's "Fantastica"

Something interesting happened to me a few weeks ago.

I got an e-mail from a guy name of Charles Thaxton who found me through a
search for Russ Garcia's "Fantastica" LP.

To make a long story short, I sent him a CD-R of Fantastica and he made
copies of it for himself, Russ Garcia and the Producer of the initial
sessions for Fantastica AND Russ's score to the "Time Machine"

He, Charles, had been searching for a clean, or for that matter ANY stereo
copy for I think he said 5 years
Jack to the rescue;)

Yes, Russ is still alive and still working, mostly with symphonies and on
tour!
In Australia or New Zealand.
I think he lives in 1 of those countries, the guy gave me his address and I
have it somewhere

SO!  He is going to try and get it reissued onto CD

I told him that Capitol/EMI supposedly "owned" it and it would be next to
impossible for him to get them to relinquish it to him so he could reissue
it but he said he's going to make it his mission in life, from this point
forward.

Russ didn't even have a copy of Fantastica so needless to say, he was
PLEASED AS PUNCH to finally get a copy after all these years.

Charles also told me that there are different mixes on the Stereo and Mono
LP's
Different arrangements AND different electronic passages.

FUCK ALL YOU STEREO NAZIS!;^)

I think he said Russ is about 80, now

More later,


Jack

Subject: (exotica) Cool $ Strange #10

Just a note to say I received my copy of C&SM! #10 in the mail this past
Saturday. Those who purchase C&S and newsstands should keep their eyes open.

Here's some interesting news from Dana's editorial page:

Varese Sarabande Records/Cool and Strange Music Magazine CD Project-
 I'm delighted to announce that Varese Sarabande Records and Cool and
Strange Music! Magazine are planning to issue a jointly produced CD,
tentatively sometime next year! Varese President Cary Mansfield recently
proposed the idea to me, and I'm really excited about it. We're counting on
you, the loyal readers of C&SM to throw some ideas my way about what make a
great "cool and strange" CD, under the banner "Cool and Strange Music
Magazine Presents ..."!
   Do you have a favorite album or artist that has never come out on CD? Is
there a compilation of a certain recording artist or a comp of a certain
genre that still hasn't come out? Send your ideas in! We're listening! I'll
print as many lists as I can find space for in the letters column of
upcoming issues, so put your thinking caps on and start rifling through your
vinyl colections!
   To start the ball rolling, here are some of my personal candidates of
things that I believe have never made it onto CD yet:
 Songs For The 21st Century - Sheldon Allman
 Mrs. Miller's Greatest Hits - Mrs. Miller
 Percussion, Wild & Pretty - Phil Kraus & Bob Rosengarden
 Zounds! What Sounds! - Dean Elliot
   But this is a joint effort, the more that Cary and I see of the same
title coming up in everyone's list, the greater the chance of that recording
coming out on CD! So get busy!

>Self indulgent - Using one's allotted opportunity in the public eye to

I am the public, and I am greatly entertained by the repetion of songs.
Therefore, I would conclude that doing this is NOT self indulgent.

i.e., playing fucking untold
>versions of Caravan because its clever

Most DJs play lots of tracks that are good as well as clever - like playing
the original track that has been sampled by a popular artist. Clever, yet
the original may still be good.
>
>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.

The usage of the word "quality" in a sarcastic tone is pretty uncalled for.
I am not into pleasing everybody all the time. In fact, as a DJ, I would be
a little worried if everyone enjoyed my set. I definitely try to antagonise
my audience. Many people hear the music I play and make comments like it is
that cheesy, lounge music. They mean it to be friendly (honest, you'd have
to be there), but I find that very offensive. I like to play just enough
songs in my set or mess around with them just enough so that people are
maybe just a little frightened. I like disturbing music as well as beautiful
music, and I try to reflect that in my set. I think most people who are into
repetitive track playing probably want a bit of this "disturbing" element in
their set. They are perhaps trying to say a little bit more about the music
other than "isn't this a nice sounding and entertaining track for the
audience".

Just because this isn't the kind of set you would play doesn't mean it isn't
entertaining to some. And according to the reaction on this list, it may
actually be entertaining to many.

Just a thought, not a flame.

I am not sure of The Collector series but there is The Exotic Moods of Les
Baxter. This was an 2 CD set under the Ultra Lounge guise.  I have it and it
is very good.  The sound reproduction is excellent.

For the most part, I agree with this assessment.  There is one song on
this album I really dig though that made the whole record worthwhile,
called "Narrow People" It's really interesting how well this song
captures both the "us versus the mainstream" and the "don't worry - be
happy" hippie viewpoints.  As a rousing anthem, it fails, but it is an
interesting effort and a genuine piece of documentation from that era of
generational conflict.

I believe there are at least two Louie Louie websites with all the known
versions listed.  (I know this because I was with a friend at a Goodwill
store the other day and he claimed that the Sounds Orchestral record I
found, contained an "unknown" version of Louie Louie.)

One of the website owners has been making a film about Louie Louie.  And I
know of at least one other person who is researching the same subject in
order to consider also making a film about the song.

Does this surprise me?  No more than the fact that I personally own records
by Andre Kostelanatz.

I can't remember if it was the title of the song or just the chorus but
I've never quite gotten the Fugs song out of my head, but just the part
where they go "And I feel like homemade puke".

Who hasn't felt like that on occasion?

Then again, if it isn't homemade, where do you get it?  I guess that's
poetic license.

Oh geez, I hope I can get this in before too many people reply to my other
posting and embarrass the hell out of me.

The Fugs don't sing "I feel like homemade puke", they sing "I feel like
homemade shit".

I don't know what came over me.  I must have been in a vomitous mood when I
wrote that, rather than the shitty mood I'm usually in.

Sorry for getting the orifices wrong.

I've done that before but I can't tell you  that story.

Subject: (exotica) Over and Over and Over

Having created two 90+ minute compilation tapes of "The Third Man Theme"
and "Music to Watch Girls By," it should be no secret where my sympathies
lie in this debate.  Just a couple of tidbits to throw into the fray.

The radio station that played 10,000 versions of "Louie, Louie" (actually,
I think it was a weekend marathon) was the legendary KFJC, home of Jack
Diamond's "House of Games" show, among other things.  Rhino Records
subsequently put out two "Louie, Louie" compilations following on the
success of this event.

L.A. radio DJ Robert Q. Lewis brought David Rose's "The Stripper" to fame
by playing it over and over, despite all listener requests to stop.

And this last weekend, I played about 9 different versions of "Caravan" in
a row for my wife.  She recently asked me to take some time once in a while
to help her understand what the hell it was that drove me to buy some damn
many dusty old records.  So I picked out a sampling of "Caravan"s, starting
with an early Duke Ellington version, and running up through the Three
Suns, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, and Vinnie Bell.  She found it difficult
to believe they were really all the same song, particularly when I played
Ellington's "Money Jungle" version (Ellington on piano with Max Roach and
Charles Mingus in the early 60s) right after the early Ellington version.
Her favorites from the bunch were Ben Webster's ("Live at the Renaissance")
and Ferrante and Teicher's prepared piano version ("Hi-Fireworks").  She
said she was surprised how much she enjoyed the experience--and this from a
woman whose main appreciation of music is as something to provide a rhythm
to work out by.

As the epigraph to the Space Age Pop Standards Page states, "Any song worth
playing is worth wearing into the ground."

Play it again, Sam ... and again and again and again.

Brad

Subject: (exotica) request for help - bbc radio 3's "mixing it" programme goes to vienna

hi

some of you may be aware of the BBC's "Mixing It" programme (on Radio 3) in
the UK, presented by Mark Russell and Robert Sandall ... a weekly show
devoted to new music, or non-mainstream sounds ... a very broad range of
music.

it's going to vienna and has asked us at motion for a few contacts there -
we've passed on ours, and said we would post to a few good lists asking for
further contacts ...

so, if any of you have any contacts or leads for interesting musicmakers in
the vienna area, can you drop us a line, and we'll forward them on to
Mixing It ... short notice i'm afraid as they're going this weekend!

thanks very much

dan.

luke vibert has released on lots of different labels (mo wax, rephlex,
virgin, rising high, blue angel, astralwerks, etc.), under different names
(wagon christ, luke vibert and plug for a start) ...

i think this is the Plug release, the "Drum'n'Bass For Papa" LP ...

the label(s) for this record, as i understand it, are:

originally released on Blue Angel [ANGEL 11LP/CD] (released in japan by
sony japan)
special edition release on Blue Planet [PLAN1CD]
a US release on Nothing Records [INTD2-90148}

there's a groovy site all about luke at :

hope this helps

cheers,

I don't know if it is available on vinyl, but I can tell you that it's on
cd released by Nothing/Interscope INTO2- 90148. This double cd set includ=

the first disc called "Drum & Bass for Papa" with the second disc compili=

the three Plug ep's. The original eps were almost certainly vinyl release=

but I think they must be long, long out of print.

The only Luke Vibert/Ninja Tunes I am familiar with are contained on the
compilations "Ninja Cuts: Flexistentialism" & "Ninja Cuts: Funkungfusion"=
,
both fine collections!
