The German Trikont-label was mentioned a couple of weeks ago. You can check
out their website at www.trikont.de (German only alas) for some nifty
compilations about American yodelling, the three volumes of covers of La
Paloma and 3 volumes of Dead and Gone which contains funeral & death music
in all different sizes.

 Was this a 60's dance craze in the same way that disco came

The twist was one type of dance. "Go-go" was an all-enveloping term for the
style of music or club that played music you could twist, frug or do what ever
kind of groovy dance you wanterd to.

Subject: (exotica) Young Girls of Rochefort

OK, I spoke to one of my dearest friend's wife who is 44 and grew up in France
during the 60's and early 70's. She reports that "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" and
"Young Girls of Rochefort" were made as anti-message films which were the
stock-in-trade of "respectable" French cinema in the 60's. Additionally, most
French films were evidently made in Paris, so a statement was intended to say
"This is NOT Paris" She  reports that Rochefort and another small and nearby
French city were competitors in gaining a "place on the map"  The other
city--I forget the name--was a more popular town with  tourists apparently, so
Rochefort, a little nothing city, was chosen as the place to shoot this
spectacular fantasy romance/musical. I suspect it would be somewhat akin to a
film here called "The Young Girls of Dayton" (no offense to Dayton). Anyhow,
along comes this movie, made in Rochefort, which apparently was painted
brightly from top to bottom for this movie. It was, after all, their 15
minutes and they wanted to shine. To this day, Rochefort retains an identity
based upon the making of that film, and not much else!  Further info?

The city's even produced a very nice brochure indicating where major
scenes of the movie took place. So you can go there on a pilgrimage and
check out the cafe, the school, and of course the main square. They also
gave the key to the city to Agnes Varda (Demy's widow) and Catherine
Deneuve for the 25th anniversary of the movie. Varda made a documentary
titled Les demoiselles ont 25 ans (The Young Girls Turn 25). MoMA showed
it as part of their Varda retrospective last year. This flick is a real
cottage industry now! And to think that just 10 years ago you'd be mocked
in France for saying you liked Demy... He was considered horribly cheesy.

Another of Demy's musicals is relatively easy to find on video in the US
(they have it at my local Brooklyn store, which is saying a lot): Donkey
Skin, aka Peau d'ane. Deneuve is in it, and it's one of the most bizarre
movies ever made. It doesn't have enough songs, I feel, but the few that
are there are too strange for words.

Subject: (exotica) Secret Museum of the Air

The Secret Museum of the Air, a weekly radio show of the world's rarest
{1890-1965} 78s and cylinders, announces our winter 1998 schedule:

11/4  Herds and Pastures II  - Pastoral music around the world,
literally.

11/11  The Pacific Rim  -  Islands and countries in coastal Asia.

11/18  East Africa  -  Amazingly diverse sounds, many cultures.

11/25  Europe 1920 - 1940 -  Mmmmmm, Eurocentric!

12/2  Manges (Athens, 1920s) - Roots of Rebetika; drugs, gangsters,
bouzouki.

12/9  Children  - Not just kiddie records....

12/16  Black American Gospel - Quartets, preachers, soloists. Rare!

12/23  Songs of Faith - NOT JUST Christmas music! Sacred music
worldwide.

12/30  By Request - Requests from listeners and our favorites.

The Secret Museum of the Air is a series of hour-long programs exploring
recorded sounds from across the Earth on 78s and cylinders made from
1890 through the 1960s. The curator, Pat Conte, is a noted researcher,
archivist and collector, with a personal library of over 100,000
recordings. He is the editor and anthologist of the widely acclaimed
"Secret Museum of Mankind" CD reissue series on Yazoo records.

Each Secret Museum radio show is compiled from the same vast collection
as the reissue CDs, with the same care and documentation, but the radio
shows are thematic. A show could be about a specific country
(Madagascar, Italy, Turkey) or region (Eastern Africa, The Asian
Steppes, Europe 1920 - 1940, the Pacific rim), a musical genre (Calypso,
Roots of Afro-Pop), a style of music (diphonic throat singing,
yodeling), a specific instrument (the clarinet, the violin, the guitar,
Hawaiian guitar but no Hawaiians); or have a seasonal theme (herds and
pastures, the harvest, May Day). Some shows are of a broader scope
(songs of faith, children and their music, 20th Century classical
western composers and the music that influenced them, American Black
performers playing country music, great non-Western classical singers,
special requests).

Once a week the Secret Museum explores the misty and obscure origins of
modern music, taking the original shellac, lacquer, and glass
recordings, carefully transferring them to a digital format, and
restoring and remastering each one; most of these records have never
been reissued in any form, and are presented to a wide audience for the
first time in half a century. Details about the recordings and
background material is presented by Pat Conte and Citizen Kafka in an
informal and informative way, recorded live at the Secret Museum. The
Secret Museum of the Air was listed in a 1995 New York Times survey of
the best radio in New York (by Jon Pareles).

The Secret Museum of the Air is broadcast every Wednesday from 7 to 8 PM
on listener sponsored, non-commercial WFMU-FM. WFMU is an independent
freeform radio station broadcasting at 91.1 MHz FM stereo in the New
York City area, at 90.1 Mhz FM in the Hudson Valley, and with a live
Realaudio stream on the Web. The web address for the station is
http://www.wfmu.org
and the direct address for the live broadcast is
http://www.wfmu.org/ssaudionet.shtml (a RealAudio transmission).

Citizen Kafka, the technical producer of the Secret Museum of the Air,
is an audio restoration engineer and archivist, a collector of obscure
recordings, and a 20+ year veteran of public radio in New York City as a
broadcaster and producer.

Major funding for the Secret Museum of the Air is provided by the Shirah
Kober Zeller Foundation, in loving memory of Arthur and Margaret Kober.

Enjoy the show!

Munich 3.10.98

The "ultraschall", favorite nightclub for music enthusiasts in Munich,
was the set for DJ performances of Bernd "The Sound of Munich" Hartwich
and Jill Mingo"go". Just to watch her lip-sync perform rather than only
play her often female vocal records shure made an impression. Very
positive with a rare sense of humor.
Bernd played new finds of his typical universe of hard-to-find
sequential melodic 70s electronic disco pieces. I had the pleasure to
supply an altar of psychedelic Tiki decoration to give  a proper frame
to the superb music performances that lasted until 7 o'clock in the
morning. I was most impressed by a track of the latest Korla Pandit
album that Jill played and pieces of Bruce Haack, who was discussed in
this list recently, played by Bernd Hartwich.

Hi -- been away. Anyway, I believe JP is on Radio 1 FM from 8.30pm on
Tues, Weds and Thurs. No shotwave schedule that I could see. (PS -- I

After years of despising chart/radio music, I found myself enjoying
some "Brit Pop" over the last few years (e.g. Portishead, Pulp, Blur,
Divine Comedy). I find most of it too derivative, though. And too
conducive to jaw movement. Seems like now we're into the 4th cyclical
anti-backlash backlash against the backlash against the Glam Revival
which hasn't started yet.

From: Nat Kone <[e-mail]>
Subject: (exotica) Hollywood Studio Orchestra and Buddy Faro

Picked up one of those apparently purposeless LP soundtrack compilations,
this one
called "Golden Motion Picture Themes and Original Soundtracks" on United
Artists.  Everything from "Charade" by Ferrante and Teicher to "From Russia
with Love" by John Barry himself.
Anyway... there's a version of the "Pink Panther" theme by an aggregation
with the likely name of HOLLYWOOD STUDIO ORCHESTRA.  And just when you
thought you've heard that tune enough to last a lifetime, along comes this
version which gives it a "Watemelon Man" vibe and everything old is new again.
So, does anyone know?  Is the Hollywood Studio Orchestra actually an
identifiable bunch with other records or is it as faceless a group as I
think it might be.  If there were whole records with transformations like
they perform on the Pink Panther Theme, that would be worth checking out.

On a completely different theme, since I haven't heard anyone mention it,
there's the new TV series BUDDY FARO.  I doubt it'll last long so maybe you
should catch it while you can.  Friday nights at nine.
Catch it for the music, not for the "content".
It's about a seventies private eye restored to his former glory in the
present day.  He's got a cool bachelor pad etc etc.
The music spans everything from cool fifties quasi-crime jazz right through
to seventies cliches like fake blaxploitation music with stops on the way
for music meant to ape Hawaii Five-O or Mannix themes.
It's got two cool actors in Dennis Farina and Frank Whalley but the novelty
of the set-up felt old inside of the first ten minutes of the pilot and by
the second episode it was just tiresome.
Still, the music is pretty cool.  They do a good job of capturing most of
the themes they're trying to ape.

By the way, is it my imagination or has there been a dearth of postings
about crappy old records here lately?  Hasn't anyone been to a thrift store
lately?  Have I become outnumbered here by the CD compilation buyers?  Is
the exotica list now more about Air than it is about Esquivel?
(And what is this new Esquivel CD called "Loungecore"?)

Does anyone know anything about a record - or a group - called OAK ISLAND
TREASURY DEPARTMENT?  They appear to be Canadian but the record is on
Columbia.   They're a "unison singing group" like any number of groups with
the word "Singers" in their name.  They're not Christian or
Up-with-People-ish but they don't do covers either (like the Living Voices
or someone).
Maybe you Ray Conniff Singers fans can help me with this one but I doubt it.

I tried.

Just for you, Nat, and anyone else who cares:

Three decent scores this weekend:

Viva! with Sergio Menendez, Billy May, Guy Lombardo and a few other dudes.
(I don't have it with me right now) Has a swingin version of Spanish Flea by
Billy May and a good sampling of jazz-oriented orchestrated stuff.  Pretty
lush.  Very clean vinyl, cover not awful.

Enoch Light "Far Away Places With Exotic Percussion"  I love this one.
Calcutta and lots of ohhs and ahas, and that trademark Enoch pop-bang
percussion.  Love it, love it, love it.  Average vinyl, decent gatefold
cover.

And my fave...Si Zentner "The Swinging Eye!!!!!!!!!"  Saw this and I almost
exploded.  Who is it here that has their radio show named after this album?
I was very psyched to get this.  Very clean vinyl, cover busted on 2 sides.


These three records were owned by a woman recently deceased that was also
into 101 strings and Mantovani like everyone else her age seems to have
been.

Total cash outlay: $1.50

surfing the chaos,
Charlieman

If this is the one with the orangeish colored picture of a bachelor pad I got
it.  It is not bad and was "budget" priced at about $ 12.00.  There is a fair
amount of vocal cuts on this CD.  Like Mucho Muchacha, etc.

It is worth a listen but still not as good as the "two-fers" prev. discussed
here.

I caught the show this past weekend.  Yeah, it won't last but is kinda fun.
The bachelor pad is really, really cool.  Clean and organized and not campy
like the rest of the show.  The song "Potluck" played during the "tour" of the
pad.  Really cool with the vocals do-doing and schwah-schwahing (I can't
remember the group name off the top of my head but it is on the Bottoms Up UL
CD).

I will probably watch it again.  I'll post if anything significant happens.

Subject: (exotica) Buddy Faro

I'll second what others have said about Buddy Faro!  By all means,
check it out before it gets flushed by CBS.  The theme music is a
great pastiche of early '60s crime jazz and there are lots of
swingin' bachelor pad tunes tossed in, too.  As Bob mentioned
earlier, the John LaSalle Quartet did "Potluck" on last week's
episode, along with Nancy Wilson (maybe Dinah Washington, not sure)
with "Destination Moon".  Great ambience, crummy scripts and one of
my favorite actors, Dennis Farina!  Anyone here remember him in Crime
Story a few years back?  Another cool retro crime thriller, set in
Vegas and Chicago.  Seek it out on video--you won't be disappointed!

Subject: (exotica) Pat Cooper's Spaghetti Sauce & Other Hits

Found a record advertised on another record's paper sleeve that looks
interesting - "Pat Cooper - Spaghetti Souce & Other Hits", United Artists
UAL-3548.  The cover is a parody of Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream cover, with
a topless man looking seductively at the camera, covered in spaghetti.
Songs: Spaghetti Sauce & Other Delights, Pepperoni Kid, And then the Sun
Goes Down, Poppa's Home Made Wine, Lu Zampogna, and Little Red Scooter.

Anyone heard it?  Is it all an Alpert parody, or is it comedy, or both, or
neither?

                              the day passes and carries the dreams
forward.

                              The night is long and you is not with me,

                              but my heart, it finds its way to you.

                              Only the love lets us live,

                              everything forget and verzeih'n,

                              Only the love lets us live,

                              Days in the bright sunshine

                              only it can give alone us,

                              only who loves, will be lonely never.

                              I knew that the ways, which we go,

                              it verworren is and that there are tears.

                              That does not count no more you that did not
see,

                              you become the road of your longing geh'n.

                              Only the love lets us live,

                              only who loves will be lonely never.

Subject: (exotica) Mary Roos and her dedicated admirer

I know its early Monday morning but I still had a chuckle at some nutty
German. On a search of the web for Mary Roos
(featured on the German Get Easy collection), I turned up her biggest fan's
 website. All that I found there was a psychotically
repetitive signed photo of Mary and the poem below, translated into English
 by the Altavista translator.

MARY ROOS: ONLY THE LOVE LOAD US LIVES

                              Only the love lets us live,

                              Days in the bright sunshine

                              only it can give alone us

                              only who loves, will be lonely never.

I have been looking for releases by Lorraine Bowen since getting the

direction you could offer would be great!

Yes -- I'm one of the few who watched "Crime Story", and for my money it put
the brass knuckles to "Buddy Faro" in the retro crime show sweepstakes.

I watched the pilot of "Buddy Faro", and it was pretty good for network tv --
lots of stylish camera-work. But then I watched some of the second episode, and
for me at least, it crashed down to the typical grind-it-out tv look with a
rather heavy thud.

To describe "Crime Story" briefly (for those who never heard of it), it ran for
two seasons in the mid-80s and displayed a real "pulp" sensibility long before
Quentin Tarentino. It was a cops vs. gangsters epic that took the characters
through continuing changes, rather than the stasis common to most shows. It
started off set in Chicago, then migrated to Las Vegas in the middle of the
first season. Set in the early 60s, it was consistently stylish throughout its
run. Lots of cool architecture and furniture. Much of the music was written
specially for the show, mostly in a noir or period vein. I think Todd Rundgren
scored one or two episodes. Del Shannon cut a slightly altered (lyrically)
version of "Runaway" for the opening theme. It was a show that always kept you
on your toes, in that it had a measure of depth to it, but could also get
extremely outlandish at the drop of a spiffy hat. There aren't many shows that
are capable of mood swings from Scorcese to the Three Stooges. Also -- Dennis
Farina really was a Chicago cop before he became an actor, and one of the
crooks, John Santucci, was a genuine ex-con. Yeah, I got your "method" right
here, ya mug!

If you go farther back, there was "Toma" based on a real NYC undercover
policeman who had a flair for disguise.  The running gag of the series was
that the REAL David Toma was in each episode in a different disguise.  The
TV Toma, Tony Musante, left the series (he was on the cable series Oz,
apparently) and was replaced by Robert Blake, at which time they reworked
the show into "Baretta", who also had a flair for disguise.

FURTHER useless information:

"Electra Glide in Blue" 's (with Robert Blake) poster is framed in Capt.
Frank Furillo's office on "Hill Street Blues".  It is silver and it says
above Blake's head "Did you know that me and Alan Ladd are the same height?"

I am told that "Gibbsville" had that forties feel to it, too.  It ran for
about a month in the seventies.  Anyone see it?  It got lost along with
"Snip" starring David Brenner (a Shampoo parody).
