Oh, so you saw one little TV special about Elvis Costello and now feel
properly informed to assess his entire 20-year career. Um, whatever you

Subject: (exotica) Archie Bleyer!

Hi!

Archie Bleyer was the musical director for Arthur Godfrey, and the
Chordettes were regulars on the show. Archie founded Cadence in 1952,
and the first big hit was by Julius LaRosa (Eh, Cumpari!).

Archie left the show, signed the Chordettes to his label, married
Chordette Janet, and found Mr. Sandman, a Pat Ballard tune, on the
flip of a Vaughn Monroe hit called "Doing The Mambo."
Besides playing the "knees" on the hit, Archie also provides the bass
"Yesssssss" on the third chorus.

Janet Bleyer passed away in 1988, and Archie passed away in the early
90's.

Archie's biggest solo hit was his version of Hernando's
Hideaway......ole!

Darren!

Subject: (exotica) Love that Demy

Love that Bob was in UHF syndication into the mid-1980s, if you can
believe that there was a period not so long ago when B&W was allowed on
tv. Well, we still have the Honeymooners, I Love Lucy and Woody Allen...

Love that Bob was a pretty lousy sitcom, but filled with period detail.
Better the powers that be bring back You Bet Your Life, instead. It
was considered ribald for the 50s. Checkmout Bob Cummings in Michael
Ritchie's semi-brilliant SMILE, about a beauty contest. It's hard to
believe how good Richie once was, before he went the SNL route.

The Yougn Girls of Rochefort is a deeper film than the Unbrellas of
Cherbourg, if not as accomplished. IT IS NOT KITSCH. I had to sit through
an audience of sophisticated yahoos chortling through Gene Kelly's
appearance, which Dave Kehr of the NY Post, if I recall, quite accurately
referred to as "supernatural".

There are several, somewhat less successful Demy films that would be of
interest to this list including MODEL SHOP, his one American feature which
is quite swinging 60s, if desperate in the Graduate/Seconds manner, and
the PIED PIPER starring DONOVAN, right before anyone realized that he
was passe, and a good five years before he wasn't anymore.

Subject: (exotica) "Mondo Bongos" Playlist for 30 Sep 98

Mondo Bongos can be heard every Wednesday at 9 to 11 am on CFRU 93.3 fm in
Guelph, Ontario, Canada

[uncredited]: Bongos, Bass & Beat "Betty Page: Jungle Girl"
- - from the compilation of "exotique music" released by Q.D.K. Media.

Can: Dizzy Dizzy "Soon Over Babaluma"
- - this song has it all: gypsy violin, stream-of-consciousness-lyrics, dub
rhythms & synth swoops.

Project Pollen: Frauleinsuppe "The Spririt of Vampyros Lesbos"

Recycle: Relax & Sit Back "The Sound of Infinity - Trip Hop from Outer
Space"

Gianni Ferrio: La Morte Accarezza a Mezzanotte "Easy Tempo Vol 1"
- - drawn from Italian crime movies. cool.

Massive Attack: Teardrop "Mezzanine"
- - dark, moody music from this Bristol-based outfit. The best release of
'98.

Nan Vernon: Moon River "Shots in the Dark"

Grantby: Timebooth "Coffee Table Music - Sounds & Soundtracks Mixed by
Grantby"
- - This is one of those releases that grabs you during the first listen. Any
of the cuts could be the soundtrack of some black & white Euro-Thriller.
8/10 I'd say.

C. Schulz: Ufer Pts 1 & 2 "4. Film Ton"
- - released by Extreme Records. Don't be put off by the labels name. Not
nasty sounding in any way. What I said about Grantby's project goes for
this as well.

Portishead: Humming "Portishead"
Brown Susan: How We Used to Live "Coffee Table Music"

Funki Porcini: Venus "Ninja Cuts: Flexistentialism"
- - could be an outtake from the Twin Peaks soundtrack

Howie B: How to Suckie "Music for Babies"
DJ Vadim: Theme from Conquest of the Irrational" USSR Reconstruction"
Henry Mancini: Floating Pad "Music from Mr Lucky ost"

Love T.K.O.: Conclusion - Opening Major Force Remix "Pussy Galore"
- - spy-music influenced tracks. Released by Howie B's Pussy Foot label.

Amon Tobin: Melody Infringement "Ninja Cuts: Funkungfusion"
- - the voice sample appears to be from a court hearing regarding copyright
infringement. Heh Heh.

Culturcide: Act Like the Rich "Tacky Souvenirs from Pre-Revolutionary
America"
- - sung to the tune of "Putting on the Titz". One of my desert island discs.
Culturcide didn't use samples...they recorded their own vocals which were
then superimposed over records by Springsteen, Pat Benatar, Grand Funk
Railroad, Stevie Wonder etc etc.. You have to hear what they did to "We are
the World".

Rev Fred Lane & His Hittite Hotshots: Car Radio Jerome "Car Radio Jerome"
Fred Lane with Ron Pate's Debonairs: I Talk to My Haircut "From the One
that Cut You"
- - the first song is about the trials & tribulations of a carnival
geek...not sure what the second is about. Both feature the good Rev's
stripmine crooning.

Stock, Hausen & Walkmen: Lipgloss "Organ Transplants Vol 1"
Tipsy: Nude on the Moon (Naked Volleyball Mix) "Nude on the Moon 12" "

The American Analogue Set: On My Way "The Fun of Watching Fireworks"
- - kinda like a sleepy Stereolab.

Thanks for reading/Comments & questions welcome
Allan

Even though AMC pulled a switch last week and didn't air "The Third Man," I'll
wipe the egg from my face and try again.

A couple of fine black & white (or gray-scale) films airing on A&E towards the
end of the week:

Late Thursday / early Friday - 4:00am - "Detour" (1945)
Late Friday / early Saturday - 4:00am - "Beat The Devil" (1954)
(eastern daylight times)

Subject: (exotica) That glitzy Rat Pack retro stuff hits prime-time

not authored by myself but simply forwarded from the SINATRA list
as f.y.i.     cannot comment on it, but i found it of interest.


=================

        "I've yet to hear any mention on this group (sorry if I deleted
something that related to this), but the new slick-looking NBC detective
show "Buddy Faro" is playing the Rat Pack ace card with regard to its
titular character's past. The show's pilot (which would've made a cute
TV-movie, but I don't have high expectations for the show continuing on for
too long) concerns a young detective (Frank Whaley, of a hundred bad
movies--most notably "Career Opportunities," for those vid-fans who study
movie posters...) searching for a legendary P.I. who disappeared year's
back. Although the show is set in L.A., there's much made about the older
private dick, Buddy Faro (Dennis Farina), being a '60s/Vegas kinda guy. The
pilot contained some nice vintage footage of L.A. circa '60s and countless
evocations of Sinatra/the "swingin' ethic"--from Jack Jones onscreen
appearance singing "All or Nothing at All" to a version of another FS
evergreen (I've gone blank but I think it was "...under my skin") done in
Frank's style (I don't think this was Jones--he was heard doin' a swingin'
version of "Got a Lot of Livin' to Do" as the show ended).

        At one point, to reinforce the good-times Rat Pack feel of the show,
the now-aged Buddy wanders into a bar he used to frequent, and inquires
about how Dino and Sammy have been (he's been away in Mexico for
years--don't ask). The show is trying to be a straight-ahead TV detective
show (at least one big explosion and the requisite shootouts and fistfights)
with a broad sense of humor. Mark Frost (co-creator of "Twin Peaks") is at
helm, so I might've expected something a little...odder, but the show
might've made a nice series of TV-movies about the (connect the dots) stiff
and reserved young detective and his footloose middle-aged playboy partner
(who--they won't let you forget it--remembers the "old days").

        Interesting they'd mention Dino and Sammy by name, but not
Frank--perhaps that was too *obvious* or maybe, as a friend suggested, maybe
they wanted to leave the door open for the viewer to suspect he was talkin'
about *another* Dino and Sammy. (You know, DeLaurentis and that guy who did
Jerry, Petrillo)."

I don't work THAT automatically, Robert. That posting was meant as a
final statement, but it looks I was naive to think I could get away with
it.

Yes, I listened to each and every Costello-record 20 years ago and I
must say, that there is not a single song that ever caught on to me. Nor
an album, not even an album cover design, not even the bazooka-one.
Pub-rock was never my thing and I probably didn't take enough time to
decipher Elvis' lyrics, as I don't like music, that I would like just
for the lyrics. Here in Germany we've got an awful lot of those, we call
them Liedermacher (song-makers), which is a lie, because songs is what
they don't make.

But some of my friends at that time liked Costello, so I kind of always
respected him, though I never could resist the idea that he was the
darling of music journalists because he looked like them.

BTW: My posting was exclusively about his recent VH-1 show, not his
20-year career, still... Seeing him again yesterday, when the show was
repeated, I suspected he doesn't even smoke cigars anymore.

I'm sorry. This is not an Exotica mailing list subject!

as you've noticed in the latet XRO update, RCA Spain keeps on reissuing
Living Stereo albums. There are 8 Shorty Rogers CD's amongs them. he did
West Coast style jazz, but also some nervous jazz which is close enough to
crime jazz i think to be of interest to this group. so, is there a Shorty
Rogers specialist in the room (Jack, are you there?) to pinpoint the cd (or
CD's) to get?
here's a list:

* Shorty Rogers with His Quintet & The Big Band: The Swingin' Nutcracker
* Shorty Rogers and His Orchestra Featuring The Giants:
    The Wizard Of Oz and Other Harold Arlen Songs
* Shorty Rogers and His Giants: Gigi In Jazz
* Shorty Rogers and His Giants: Portrait Of Shorty
* Shorty Rogers and His Giants: Shorty Rogers and His Giants
* Shorty Rogers and His Giants: Shorty Rogers Plays Richard Rogers
* Shorty Rogers and His Orchestra: Shances Are It Swings
* Shorty Rogers and His Orchestra Featuring The Giants: An Invisible Orchard.

thanx!

Nervous jazz IS crime jazz, Johan:)
Personally, I'd say get 'em all, but since so many of you are LAME...

None that you mentioned are crime or nervous, per se' AND all are perfect

Subject: (exotica) Baxter's "African Jazz"

Four or five weeks after asking for opinions on this LP, I went back and
bought it this past weekend ($2.50 -- gotta love the Ohio valley abundance
of vinyl).  It is indeed a good record.

Interestingly, there was an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper inside, which at
first looked like the promotional/biographical material that gets included
with promo copies of music to this day.  However, it turns out to be an
internal memo from Capitol Records from the manager of popular music
merchandising to the personnel in the sales department.  I found it
interesting enough to go ahead and type the text, because I've not seen
this sort of thing in an old record before:
_______________

Date: January 9, 1959
To:  CRDC Sales Personnel
From:  Bill Muster, Manager
Office:  Popular Music Merchandising
Subject:  Sample copy of "African Jazz"

It has often been said that a good picture is worth a thousand words.  And
much the same can be said of a good album.  Listening to it is worth a
thousand words describing it.  That's especially true of Les Baxter's
"AFRICAN JAZZ".  In fact, there are probably *no* words that can adequately
describe the unusual rhythms and sounds that Les has put into "AFRICAN
JAZZ".  You have to hear them for yourself.  That's why we have sent you
this copy of the album.

"AFRICAN JAZZ" is far more than a sound effects album.  Like all of Les'
albums, it is good music...exciting, romantic and brilliantly colorful.
You all know how well Baxter's "TAMBOO!" and "LE SACRE DU SAUVAGE" have
sold.  "AFRICAN JAZZ" can sell just as great or greater than these albums.

The competition on exotic music is very stiff.  Best sellers like "Taboo"
and "Bwana A" have captured a large and lucrative market.  Baxter's albums
like "LE SACRE DU SAUVAGE", "TAMBOO!", and "AFRICAN JAZZ" are exotic too
but with more good musical value.  We should definitely be cashing in on
this market.

Gotta love the last sentence.  Some things never change (every intraoffice
memo in a record company probably ends with that line).

I don't know exactly how correspondence was duplicated in those days
(mimeograph?), but this looks like it could be an original from someone's
typewriter (one that needed a new ribbon to boot).

I agree that Elvis Costello is not an exotic subject, but Burt Bacharach
certainly is. And since he's seen fit to work with Mr. Costello... Their
album still isn't very good though.

Some of these albums have also shown up from RCA France, which on the two
I've been able to compare seem to have better jackets (though I haven't
actually heard any of them).  Any idea where these can be ordered in the
US?  A handful of titles showed up at the chain store where I work but it's
really difficult to order through there.

Subject: Re: (exotica) BLUNA ad with TIPSY music

I was curious if you know about this at all. I never know how it goes
with music rights. You definitely have to ask the artist before you use
his music in a feature film. But with commercials I don't know. The Afri
Cola Company is a cool one. Officially the brand Bluna was sold to
Ueberkinger Mineralbrunnen AG though. The agency responsible for the ads
is Jung Von Matt in Hamburg. I've seen this Tipsy ad just once and it
was pretty surreal. Can't quite remember what happened. The hookline
phrase goes "Aren't we all a bit bluna?" Unfortunately the summer is
over and they don't show it anymore.

Thanks for the Ata Tak flowers. I'll forward them to Pyrolator.

King of Hawaii do instrumental tunes not unlike Duane Eddy or Chris Issak
without vocals

It is pre-surf music instro stuff that is catchy and tasty

They have two CDs out and have played SF twice

                           *Julian Allen
    BALTIMORE (AP) -- Julian Allen, an artist known for his illustrations of
subjects ranging from the Watergate scandal to American blues singers, died
Monday of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was 55.
    Allen collaborated with writer Bruce Wagner on the noir comic strip ``Wild
Palms,'' which appeared in Details magazine and became a network television
miniseries produced by Oliver Stone.
    The Postal Service commissioned Allen in 1994 to create a series of stamps
featuring blues singers.
    As a staff artist with New York magazine, he illustrated events related to
the Watergate scandal, such as President Nixon's meetings with indicted
White House aides. During the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, the magazine sent Allen
to cover the campaign in
the Sinai desert. After Allen was wounded in the leg, he drew a series of
portraits of wounded soldiers.
    Allen taught editorial illustration at Parson's School of Design in New
York for years. In 1996. he became chairman of the Illustration Department
at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

                             *Sam Locke
    SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Sam Locke, whose writing career spanned the golden days
of radio to Broadway stage and television sitcoms, died Sept. 18 at 81.
    Known for his classic radio scripts to programs such as ``Grand Central
Station'' and ``Inner Sanctum,'' Locke later penned television episodes of
``McHale's Navy,'' ``The Lucy Show,'' ``36-24-73,'' ``Mooney the Monkey,''
``Hot Watch'' and ``All in the Family.''
    He also wrote sketches for comedians Garry Moore, Red Buttons and Ed Wynn.
    During the 60s, Locke wrote screenplays for Paramount -- seemingly always
about beaches -- including ``Girls on the Beach'' and ``Beach Ball.''
    His theater credits include ``Continuous Performance,'' ``The Vamp,''
``Women With Red Hair'' and ``Fair Game'' -- the only one of his plays to
reach Broadway.
    Locke wrote a small humor book entitled ``How to Survive Your Doctor's
Care'' and had both fiction and nonfiction works published in the Saturday
Evening Post and other magazines.
    He served in the Army Air Corps during World War II and helped with a film
designed to implement the Marshall Plan in Europe.

                           *Jack Haskell
    ENGLEWOOD, N.J. (AP) -- Jack Haskell, a 30-year television veteran who
became a fixture as a stand-in on Jack Paar's and Johnny Carson's shows,
died Saturday. He was 79.
    An early member of the ``Garroway at Large'' show when it was based in
Chicago, Haskell came to New York to join host Dave Garroway on the original
NBC ``Today'' show.
    Haskell also worked with Paar, occasionally substituting for announcer Hugh
Downs, and was a guest and replacement on ``Tonight'' when Carson was host.
Haskell's television credits also included ``The Ed Sullivan Show,'' ``The
Mike Douglas Show,'' ``The Bell Telephone Hour,'' ``The Garry Moore Show''
and NBC's ``Monitor.''
    Haskell performed with bands in Chicago while he was a student at
Northwestern University, and after graduation he sang with Doris Day and the
Les Brown Orchestra.
    He appeared on Broadway in 1962 in ``Mr. President,'' an Irving Berlin
musical that starred Nanette Fabray.
