Not to re-open a can o' woyms, but what's the practical definitional
difference between 'nostalgia' and 'retro'? I've been thinking about this a
bit lately (after the recent thread) and can't find one, except that most
hip souls bristle at 'nostalgia' and embrace 'retro' -- at least until
MadAve co-opts the term beyond all salvation and it's time to look for
another word. Am I missing something? Anyone care to set me straight?

I sez:
I dunno. The way I figure it, it's a matter of age. If an 80 year old
couple goes to see the Artie Shaw Orchestra and a bunch of people the same
age are there, it's nostalgia.
If a bunch of 30 year olds do the same thing, it's retro.
I am not offended by either term, because I have NEVER been hip (not that I
bristle at that term, either).

Off the top of my head, and oversimplifying wildly, it currently seems that
"nostalgia" is used for warm & cuddly purposes, and "retro" is used for
style-conscious situations. What do they mean? Aw, heck -- probably whatever
you want at this point.
Then again, consider retro's space-age sourcing -- "retro rockets." I'm sure
that was the first usage of "retro" I ever heard.

Subject: (exotica) Weird Lovemakers
I found the following in a recent VideoYesteryear catalog. Anyone familiar
with this one who wants to en- or dis-courage me from dropping a sawbuck?
The Weird Lovemakers (Wild Love-makers) drama;1962;Japan
The anti-hero of this atmospheric and sexually-charged exploration into the
meaning of good and evil is Al, a hyperactive young punk who loves American
jazz. Al earns his keep as a pickpocket. At the outset, he and an equally
amoral and hot-headed pal are released from jail. During their time in stir
they have, obviously, learned nothing about obeying the law. For openers,
they celebrate their newly won freedom by stealing a car and hooking up with
Al's old friend, a pert hooker. While driving along a beach, this joyriding
trio run down a man and kidnap his fiance, whom they drive to a secluded
spot. The frightened woman loses consciousness and is then raped by Al. A
while later, she finds Al in a jazz club and tells him of her plight and
relationship with her boyfriend and how it has changed since the "incident."
Al is unmoved. However, his eyes are raised when she makes a startling
confession. What follows is a shocking and tantalizing drama of sexual
musical chairs whose sizzling story line is loaded with irony. The final
sequence, and the manner in which it ends, is especially provacative. Dubbed
in English.Letterboxed.70 minutes.
They're also offering such fare as Rat Pfink A Boo Boo, Aphrodisiac! The
Sexual Secret of Marijuana, Lenny Bruce's Dream Follies, the 1954 CBS-TV
live drama version of Casino Royale (starring Barry Nelson and Peter Lorre),
and just about every movie Frank Sinatra ever appeared in.

When I think of retro, I think mostly about the sleek lines and curves
in the areas of architecture, automobiles, fashion, and design....there
seems to be more a focus on the styling of inanimate objects. I think
of chrome Waring blenders, tailfins, Dali neckties, Calder mobiles,
flying saucer designs, etc., etc.
When I think of nostalgia, I think mostly about the structure and
relationships between family members, community, church members, etc.
Here the focus is on things like shared family dinners, making your own
ice cream, summer vacation roadtrips, Easter bonnets, growing gardens
during the depression, etc. etc.
There can be an overlap between the two....Wurlitzer jukeboxs at the
50's diner where everyone hung out, taking that long roadtrip in a brand
new Edsel, and playing with the neighborhood kids with your Buck Rodgers
spacegun toy.
I think most 'hipsters' prefer retro because it is easy to take the
objects from back then and insert them into modern society, while they
disdain 'nostalgia' because it implies going back to a time before such
progressive movements such as Women's Rights, Civil Rights, and Gay
Rights.
Off the top of my head, the top 'nostalgia' television show would be
'The Waltons', while the top 'retro' TV show would be 'The Jetsons'
Both feature traditional family relationships (father, mother, siblings,
pets), but with the Waltons the emphasis was on the family relationships
(the only sleek designs I can remember are the curved top radio and the
occassional automobile.) When I think of the Jetsons, all I can
remember was how cool everything looked.
Anyone else?

I never got to see the series, but I found a commercially released
videotape with 6 episodes on it! Not sure if I have it with me in
Portland, but I still own it. I bought it primarilly because someone told
me that my cool kidney shaped white silk armless sofa (or a variant
thereof) was seen on the show.
Before Dennis Farina was on Crime Story, he was a featured bad guy on Miami
Vice which led to his spot on CS.
The music on his new series sounds worth checking out...a pastiche of crime
jazz? Well, let's not forget the swingin' Police Squad theme (borrowing
heavilly from M Squad if not a direct ripoff). "Cigarette?" "Yes. I know."

It's a side of stand-up (Cooper's "growing up Italian" schtick) and a side of
not-particularly-exotic comic songs along the same lines -- the only Alpert
reference is the sleeve. The inner sleeve has some cool-looking Bond-era
albums, though: -- Count Basie "Basie Meets Bond", Ray Barretto "Senor 007"
(Latin-style takes on the usual material), a live Shirley Bassey, "Music To
Read James Bond By"...

Didn't R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders do a version on an album? Or
was that just one of his illustrated lyric strips in an old Zap comix?

If it's Alpert parody you want, look for Al Tijuana and his Jewish Brass.
Espsecially for his version of "Peter Gunn."

Just so happens I found the Paper Moon soundtrack in the Thrift Store a week
ago. As already stated...Frank Luther sings it with Johnny Hamp's Kentucky
Serenaders, originally on RCA Records (released in the soundtrack on
Paramount Records in 1973).
Then, Ratso asks:
>Didn't R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders do a version on an album? Or

I wouldn't doubt they did it as well. I think they had three albums out and
this was THEIR music.

I know it!!! Tatum and I are the same age and I remember seeing the movie
when it came out and fell in love with her (she replaced Jodie Foster who was
in Tom Sawyer).
I use to think as a kid that I would someday meet Tatum and star in movies
with her. We would be like one of those husband and wife teams. I really
thought this would come true.
Then that asshole McInroe went and married her and shattered my dreams. Still
I had hope until they had a child and knew my dream would never be fufilled (I
didn't want step-children you see).

*Jimmy Caesar
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Jimmy Caesar, an impersonator who opened for Milton
Berle, Norm Crosby and Bob Hope, died Friday of lung cancer. He was 63.
Born Caesar Pasquale Tronolone, Caesar worked many clubs and showrooms
across the country. He did many impersonations, including Stan Laurel, Boris
Karloff and John Wayne.
He was 16 when he made his first appearance at the Bingo Club in Las Vegas.
Caesar, who also was a singer, would later play other Strip hotel-casinos,
including the MGM Grand, the Sahara and the Dunes.
*Murray L. Korda
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. (AP) -- Murray L. Korda, a violinist whose orchestra
performed before eight presidents and heads of state in 38 other countries,
died Wednesday in a automobile accident. He was 70.
Korda made his debut in New York City at age 15 and then toured the United
States with the American Symphony Orchestra. He appeared on numerous
television shows, including ``The Mary Tyler Moore Show,'' ``Rhoda'' and
``Moonlighting.'' He was in
movies, including ``True Lies'' and ``Death Becomes Her.'' He also did
numerous television commercials.
In 1984, his orchestra, the Monseigneur Strings, performed during the
opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Korda
serenaded Barbra Streisand and James Brolin at their wedding this summer.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Tony Schwartz
Yes, I know about the Tony Schwartz records -- and I'm proud to
say I know Tony Schwartz himself. Tony, who is now in his 70s, is one of
the great bridgers of the gap between media theory and media practice.
Starting out as a sound engineer in the late 1940s, he later became one of
the earliest political media consultants, an author, and a public-service
advertising specialist. His books -- "The Responsive Chord" and "Media,
The Second God" -- are considered classics of media theory. In them, he
proposes (following such other theorists as McLuhan and Lazersfeld) that
electronic communications work not on the basis of their text, but by
calling up emotions, ideas, and prejudices that already exist in the
perceiver's mind.
One of the primary examples of this was perhaps the most famous
political advertisement ever made, done by Tony and the Doyle Dane
Bernbach agency for Lyndon Johnson's 1964 re-election campaign. Known as
the "Daisy Spot," it segues from a scene of a little girl picking the
petals off a daisy, and miscounting them as she does, with the countdown
to a nuclear blast, followed by Johnson's voice on the perils of nuclear
war. It neveronce mentions Barry Goldwater, but was intended to strike the
"responsive chord" about Goldwater's cavalier attitude toward nuclear war.
The Smithsonian records are based on a radio series Tony did in
the 1950s, for WNYC Radio in New York, I believe. The show was called
something like "Sounds of the City." For it, Tony wandered the city (and
thereafter many other areas) recording real people, real events, real
places. They are quite delightful windows into another era.

Subject: (exotica) Keep On Digging
OK, I'll join in the "thrift revival". I'm still picking up quite a
lot, but writing about them is much slower than finding
them... Anyway, this "I SNAFFLED THESE -- BWAHAHAHAHAHA" list
demonstrates precisely why thrifting will trample under its mighty
hooves all alternate methods of hoovering up wads of Top Qwality Vinyl
(and, naturally, also over that One Single Most Evil Practice -- that
of buying CD reissues). This shows the triumph, the glory, and the
sheer filthyness of such an occupation. In other words, I found a lot
of records that I like for cheap. The big recent score was 32 Library
Music 10-inch LPs dating from 1965 to 1970 (for 8 pounds). I dread to
think what some of these succulent beauties would cost from a
dealer. I can't remember all the artists or discs, but here's a
rundown of the ones that struck me. (BTW, does anyone know of a
resource for discographies/reviews of library music?). Following that,
mention of a few other discs that will strike me at random.
- -- From the IMPRESS (Inter-art Music Publications) library:
* "Choral Contrasts" -- Fred Tomlinson
Staggering stuff with "Babadap", perhaps the ultimate workout on that
classic cheese singing style (think "Swingle Singers" meet
"Gay Spirits" meets "Mah Na Mah Na" meets "Seven Golden Men"). There
are also three different short "Busy Moods" (the kind of singing you
get when the 50s lady is doing housework on TV... they sing
"CHINGGGGGG!" to end two of these, which is hilarious, but doesn't
look so when you write it down) and "Tijuana -- Make Something Of
It?", which he didn't, as this bears no relation to Tijuana (no brass
for a start), but is an excellent catchy, hum-a-longous thing with
saucepan-whapping percussion breaks that make you wanna DANCE.
* "Percussion Links" -- [?]
Various percussion links ranging from a few seconds to a minute. It's
weird listening to this. For example, there's a lot of dramatic
few-second "revelation" sounds that would lead to a commercial break,
and a selection of "Time Slips", that kind of music you get when
someone's having a flashback, vision, or dream, and the screen goes
wobbly... and so on. If you listen to lots of 7 second links in a row,
your vision starts going blurry.
- -- From the CONROY library:
* Archie Gunn (side A) / V/A (side B)
Who is Archie Gunn? This is brilliant! Starts off with "Crazy Race 1",
exciting surf guitar/vibes piece combined with tuned engine noises (a
lot of them). "Crazy Race 2" removes the sound effects. "Daddy's
Madison" is INSANE on the sound effects, mechanical noises, chickens,
sheep, horses, trains, combined with a slow plodding kind of going for
a drive sort of tune... sort of like the bits of "Zounds!" I've heard,
but slightly less integrated, and perhaps more charming because of
it. "Let's Go Racing" and "Hawaiian Ski" present more exciting racing
music (the latter track being neither Hawaiian or ski-related). Side 2
of the album is less memorable, but I still can't get Dennis Farnon's
"Cataschock" out of my head -- a lopsided "drunk man's march"
punctuated with squeaks that suggest the Monty Python sketch in which
tuned mice are squashed with a hammer.
* La Musique Electronique D'Arsene Souffriau
1966-vintage electronic music which probably cropped up in Sci-Fi
radio plays and the like -- atmospheric electronic tonalities kind of
stuff. Reminds me of the "Forbidden Planet" music more than a
tad. Titles like "Sodium", "Metallurgy", "Andromeda", etc.
- -- From the HARMONIC MOOD MUSIC library (C. Brull Ltd.):
* Suite For Beat/Suite For Blues
A Gert Wilden disc (except for one track); G.W. contributes a couple
of other pieces on other discs in this series. Not the swinging Wilden
I know from "Schulmadchen"/"I Told You Not To Cry" (although one of
the smoother tracks from Schulmadchen is on this disc), this is very
relaxed and cool. The highlight is probably "Blues For The Poor", a
strange kind of "blues meets Old Ned (Steptoe and Son) effect".
* Beat Drama
The music by H. Possega (who he?) is the highlight here -- the
tracks "Orquidea" and "Black and Black" are heavy, heavy beat with
honking sleazy sax and lots of twiddly bits. The track "Torture" is an
outstanding piece of crime jazz, which is really fearsome and
programmatic [informally speaking, lots of "da da dah Dah DAH --
DUHhhhhhrrrrrrrr -- tic tic tic... tic"]. You know, if you like Kenyon
Hopkins, you'd LURVE this.
* Music For Effect
Weird things, again by Possega. "St. Elmo's Fire" piano and electronic
rippling, other pieces with titles like "Hot Snow", "Microcosmos",
"Erratic Activity" -- snare drum solos, drum/bass duet, atonal
arrhythmic piano hammering. Which has certain effects.
* Swinging Singers
Outstanding track here is "Le Reveur", a whistling-singing
combination which really is very haunting. The others are light,
smooth, fluff in the style the title indicates.
* Fonteyn's Folk Jazz
A disc by Sam Fonteyn. Great stuff. "Voodoo Moon" and "Coconut" are
the highlights here: slinky funky bass lines, with overblown flute
melody on top.
* For Modern Industry
"Heavy Work" is groovy, and "Machinery" pretty good. Gert Wilden crops
up with "Pancho Villa" (the relation to Modern Industry being rather
obscure). On the B side we have 7 Dramatic Scenes... you could
describe this as crime jazz again, with some great elements (one track
with a really cheesy but sinister organ drone in the
background). Excellent!
* Jazz Dramatic
More crime jazz, as you might expect from the title. Again, really good.
* Some Swinging, Some Slow
Titles like "Soho" -- you've got sleazy slows and more powerful
dramatic uptempo works. Excellent in parts.
Other discs include the "Big Sound I" and "The Big Sound III", which
are not so impressive as their names might suggest (Volume II was
missing -- BAH). There is also a "Tijuana/Latin American" disc which
is not particularly outstanding (perhaps I've suffered Tijuana
overload) but is still good; the track "Okapi" in particular is as
good as Tij-anything. There's one other disc... I can't remember the
title, but it has an excellent sitar-spoitation party beat piece.
- -- Audio Library (Background Music Publishers)
The above discs are all pretty modern-sounding (i.e. they've got heavy
pop influences, lots of organ/bass/drums/guitar/flute/brass). The
Audio Library has less of that sound; it's a lot closer to the 40s/50s
library sound (lots of strings, more light classical influence). There
are 16 discs here. I really can't separate them out in my head... they
have no covers, I'm not familiar with many of the composers, and they
are generally less interesting overall. So I'll just pick out some of
the highlights.
There are 2 Syd Dale discs, one of "light" jazz, one of mystery/crime
jazz music. Well, when I say "light", that excludes the track
"Percussidness", which has more kettledrums than is perhaps healthy --
a really storming piece. The other is all very sinister, drak, slow,
moody. Another disc has a suite of traffic music on it... "Driving on
the M1" sounds more like it should be titled "Fighting The Third World
War", really aggressive orchestral sci-fi sort of arrangement. On
other discs there is "Beat The Clock" -- obviously intended for 50s
gameshow theme, and a lovely little "Criminal Cocktail" suite by Ernst
Kugler, more crime jazz (very short pieces). Other pieces such as
"Rocket Launch", "Playful Poodles", "Peaceful Promenade", "The
Hippopotamus", etc. etc. for light orchestra. There's a couple of
light jazz discs, one by Sam Fonteyn. One of music evoking America,
one of music evoking the Orient.
- --> Other Stuff
Well, I also found these recently:
* "Great Day" -- P. Reno (De Wolfe)
Yes, more library music. This is really great, very heavy beaty-funky
tracks on it like "Silver Streak"; an instant classic with fantastic
flute melody over the top.
* "In The Land Of The Midnight Sun" -- Arthur Lyman (Hi Fi LIFE)
Yes, you can find Lyman records in UK charity shops if you look
enough. Maybe. Well, I did. Just the once.
* "Together Brothers OST" -- Barry White/Love Unlimited (Pye)
Not the Barry I know, but reet funky blaxploitation badassness. Mostly
instrumental music (skipping over the couple of singing tracks is a
good move), but really very heavy groovy stuff.
* "The Magic Disco Machine" -- DiscoTech (EMI - Tamla/Motown)
Soul/disco instrumentals which are fabulous; these are actually
musically interesting, as well as having a good beat. Best disco album
I own by far. Do any other DiscoTech albums exist?
* "Gilbert Becaud" -- Gilbert Becaud
I've been looking for Becaud LPs for some time now -- really difficult
to get hold of. Any info on Mr. Becaud welcome; he's simply the
greatest French singer IMHO. A gravelly, rapid-fire clear twisty
voice, the arrangements of his songs are unusual in terms of
instrumentation, and feature many unexpected changes of
dynamics. Finally, of course, I find a GB LP in the stack of shitty
10p records. Sampling work from the 60s, there are several great
tracks, but the best, I think, is "Les Cloches", with a pounding bell
rhythm, ringing out the changes of life.
[Run out of commentary steam now, but a few worthwhile ones are]
* "Stone Flower" -- Antonio Carlos Jobim (Verve)
* "Something" -- Shirley Bassey (UA)
* "The Amazing Sound of the ARP Synthesizer" -- Gordon Langford (RCA)
* "Persuasive Percussion Vol. 4" -- Enoch Light / Light Brigade (Command)
* "James Last And The Rolling Trinity" (Polydor)
* "The Pink Panther" -- Henry Mancini (RCA)
* (?) "Pop Classics" -- Ekseption (Phillips)
