...Korla is the musician playing the organ. You really can't miss him, he's
wearing his turban and has that same mysterious gaze.  He doesn't have
any speaking lines though.


Addendumb:

He didn't speak on the TV show he had either, at the request of management,
to hold up his "mysterious" image.  I have a short interview with him done
for KTLA and he had a very nice speaking voice.

The Continental is also on the same tape.  He's dreamy.

I've heard the disc already. It's pretty much shticky garbage (I dunno,
maybe that's an endorsement around these parts). As the title implies,
Pesci is merely exploiting his wiseguy image and cashing a paycheck (though
to be fair, he does at least write a few of the songs). The album is also
surprisingly profane -- LOTS and LOTS of "fuck," "fuckin'," etc. Even
Marisa Tomei gets dragged into the act and performs "blue."

Subject: (exotica) Moon Base Alpha #1 Playlist and Time Correction

Hi -

Well, after a chaotic start, the first of my four Moon Base
Alpha radio shows was a hoot.  A playlist follows but it
will only give a partial idea as there were lots of voice-
overs from the studio "posse" as well as copious
random sound FX thrown into the mix.

Oh, and I discovered when I arrived in the studio that I'd
been given the wrong time - the show is actually 1pm -
2:30pm Sunday afternoons...

Playlist for Moon Base Alpha #1

Enoch Light - Scarborough Fair (Permissive
Polyphonics)
Moog Cookbook - Sweet Home Alabama
Enoch Light - I Love Paris
Wendy Mae Chambers - New York, New York
unknown - "We Bind Thee to Thy Bridal Wealth"
(performed on an 18th century bird organ...!)
Free Design - Don't Cry Baby
France Gall - Les Rubans et la Fleur
Stereolab - Flower Called Nowhere
Pizzicato 5 - Porno 3003
John Barry - The Human Jungle
Esquivel - La Paloma
Pete Moore - Catwalk
Dick Hyman - Give it Up, Turn It Loose & Kolumbo intro
mixed into next track
Stock, Hausen & Walkman - Open Up
Family of God - Moog River
Tipsy - Liquordelic
Prez Prado - Manhattan
Erotica Italia - Crescendo
Bruce Haack - Hush Little Robot
Turn On - Electrocation of the Fire Ants
Bad Examples - Papeete
Joe Meek - Love Dance of the Saroos
Kraftwerk - Nummern

More next weekend!

Subject: (exotica) Organs of Toledo

Bear with me, I have a kind of an abnormally high tolerance for organ
records. . . is this because I grew up around one--not able to play it, but
still fascinated for hours just mashing various keys and listening to the
different sounds?

_The Man From O.R.G.A.N._ DIck Hyman (Command, 1965). Probably should have
mentioned this with the other "Spy" LPs, since it's all Bond and TV Spy
themes--but somehow this didn't quite qualify as the real "Spy" sound to
me. It's always interesting to hear what sounds Hyman can wring out of the
note-bending Lowery organ, but his playing is just a little too bluesy or
something. . . Still it's about the best thing I've found from this later
era of Command releases.

_Hi-Dee-Fi_ Lenny Dee (Decca). I realized with stark terror that my Lenny
Dee LPs have quietly slipped ahead of the Three Suns and Pere Ubu as the
artist I have the most abums of. . . Brrrr. So maybe it's not a surprise
that I can't think of much to say about this one. But I really think this
is one of the more forgettable Dee releases--much less of his trademark
syncopated wackiness. Unfortunately the most energetic cut is "If You Knew
Susie," which has always struck me as a particularly dippy song.

_Dee Latin_ Lenny Dee (Decca). Now we are getting somewhere! Dee's
double-time, "jabbing" playing style is perfect for this pulsing latin
stuff. He really turns up the voltage on the uptempo numbers like "Mambo
Jambo," "El Cumbanchero," and his Rhumba version of "Begin the Beguine."
There's even some weird pseudo-Spanish exclamations on a couple of cuts
. . . Lenny Speaking In Tongues! I want more of this.

_A Latin From Manhattan_ Ethel Smith (Decca). Okay, "Tico Tico" IS awesome.
And Smith throws herself into all the uptempo numbers at a breakneck pace
that's prettty mindblowing. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to put this
one on as party music.

But you've gotta admit, she mostly sticks with the stock Hammond sound, and
to a more straightly melodic playing style than Dee--c'mon, Lenny plays his
hot-rod Hammond through a freakin' Wah-Wah pedal, for Pete's sake! (As far
as I can figure out.) Still _ Manhattan_ is a keeper if you find it.

So the ultimate winner in the latin organ derby is. . .

Ray Colignon.

Huh? Well one of the first exotic LPs I ever found was an Argentine
pressing of _Tropical: Organo con Acompanamiento Ritmico_. It had a photo
of this funny little pudgy, balding guy--who totally rips up all the Latin
classics with his cutting, nasal Hammond, in pell-mell album-side-long
medleys. If I am reading these liner notes correctly, he's Belgian! The
back cover lists two more Philips (Argentina) releases by him. Has
*anybody* else ever heard of this guy?

Cheers,

 --Ross

Subject: (exotica) Weekend finds

I know its Tuesday, but over the course of the weekend I found (and
subsequently had to fork out some cash for):

Pop Explosion Sitar Style - Sagram. A superb, deep, trippy sitar LP on
Windmill Records (UK), with no funky tunes but plenty of interesting sitar
and tabla workouts No dancing to this one but I tried sitting under an oil
wheel, smoking joints, burning incense and taking acid. It worked for me.

Industrial Panoramas - KPM (Library LP) 1136 - Excellent Keith Mansfield
and Alan Hawkshaw workout on KPM - very similar (but not quite as good) as
the Sound Gallery LPs. Massive build ups and dramatic brass leading to
interesting but not dancable tunes with plenty of surging orchestral
moodiness. Top!

Mark Wirtz - Come on and Shake Me (I think). Excellent Mark Wirtz LP on Ace
of Clubs with that classic instrumental pop production that us Brits seemed
to have been so good at in the late 60s. This ones a dancer, with 'A Touch
of Velvet, A sting of Brass' as the highlight.

The Marketts - Sunpower. This is a US LP featuring tunes with 'sun' in
their titles. A dubious concept but executed well. Let the Sunshine in,
House of the Rising Sun and the highlight for me - Sunshine Superman.
Another late 60s instrumental dancer with a fantastic break. Pretty good.




Mark Wirtz is also responsible for Mood Mosaic (mid 60s). Anybody know any
of his other stuff?

It did not make it in the little "people" section of our newspaper which
always comments on obits of anybody who had 15 mins. of fame.

And with a list of 450 (???) it still took us over a week to hear the news.
And even then we go it second (or third???) hand from someones granny.

Of course Korla was not part of the new, hip retro swing thang.  So I guess we
should just shut up and go back to our Sumac and Enoch records.

Yep, I've got "Latin A Go Go" on Ember Records (good title, eh?),
which is really really good (versions of "Yeh Yeh" and "Watermelon
Man" on this one).

Also got "Ten Again" (?World Record Club) which you can count as a
Mark Wirtz album, he being the producer/arranger and composer of two
tracks, although it "stars" two singers, one gent improbably called
Russ Loader and a lady I can't recall, plus a group called "The
Ladybirds". I remember finding this one was weird, because on the same
day I saw about four more copies -- and I don't think I've seen it
since! This has an excellent version of "Smile", slow and clipped and
beat-heavy, which is outstripped only by the 200mph Syd Dale version
on "The Chaplin Collection" (Windmill Records), which is one of the
best kept secrets in loungeworld, really implausible funky Dale
versions of Chaplin's music.

RPM released a Wirtz CD compilation a while back, but I haven't heard it.

If I remeber right, he was also responsible for the legendary "Teenage
Opera", which was never completed due to costs, but a couple of
excerpts from which were released as singles (one was a big hit, that
"Grocer Jack" song); I think RPM also released a CD of this material
recently.

I blurt:

I actually mentioned this fellow yesterday, out of context.  He is "The
Continental".  On KTLA, there was a daytime show that was popular for a
time that featured a suave and debonair man-of-the-world type that welcomed
you into his bachelor pad and "You" (the camera) were his guest.  If he
said, for example, "Would you care for a cigarette dah-ling?", he would go
toward the screen and offer "you" one.  It's much funnier to watch than to
listen to, even if you get the joke.  I think this was only on Los Angeles
TV, but it may have been syndicated.  I have a short clip of him on a
retrospective that KTLA did.

The only reference to him before that was a Popeye cartoon, in which Olive
Oyl is getting dolled up to meet Bluto's character, who is called "The
International".  This, of course, makes no sense to the average eight
year-old just home from school, but there was always that spinach +
violence plot that you rely upon.

Subject: (exotica) Tex Allen, Ruben Naranjo obits

                           *Robert Allen
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Robert ``Tex'' Allen, one of the original white-hatted
cowboy stars on Hollywood's silver screen, died Friday of cancer and a
collapsed lung. He was 92.
    Born I.E. Theodore Baehr, Allen was one of the most popular western stars
of the 1930s. His screen credits included ``Crime and Punishment'' (1935)
with Peter Lorre, ``Winter Carnival'' (1939) with Ann Sheridan, and ``The
Awful Truth'' (1937) with Cary Grant and Irene Dunn.
    In 1934, he talked his way into a part in a Tim McCoy western and was so
well received that Columbia Pictures created the ``Bob Allen Ranger'' series
of cowboy movies that included ``Ranger Courage.''
    After World War II, he was featured in stage productions such as ``Auntie
Mame'' and ``Showboat,'' numerous television programs and commercials.

                           *Ruben Naranjo
    ALICE, Texas (AP) -- Ruben Naranjo, a conjunto singer and accordionist
known to his fans as ``El Hijo del Pueblo'' (the son of the town), died of
unknown causes Monday. He was 53.
    Naranjo's hits include ``Sin Delito,'' ``Prenda de Alma,'' ``Dulce
Aldorada'' and ``Angel de mis Angeles.''
    Conjunto originated in South Texas in the late 1800s when German, Czech and
Polish immigrants introduced the accordion into the region.

Howdy People,

I can't believe that noone among us has heard the _How To Speak Hip_
album... :-( I hope at least one person will be able to tell
us the story of where he/she found the album, what's it's like,
etc.

In the meantime, I will console myself by asking more questions.

Is anyone a 5,6,7,8's fan?  I searched a while back, but was
unable to find an "official" website or anything that would give
up-to-date info on whether the band is together, their discography,
etc. Come to think of it, what ever happened to the Trashwomen?

Finally, do any of you collect/amass Hawaiian shirts? Reply to
me directly, if you want to share info... please, please.

A while back there was a discussion on Indian Soundtracks etc. and I had

Well I was digging through my singles today and I found it.
The group is Heavenly Ten Stems and the record actually features two
Hindi soundtrack cuts
on the A side is "China Town" from an Indian film of the same title.
The single came out on Amarillo Records (AM 597) out of San Francisco.

I'm in great need of a "timeline of the moog" web site... something that
sort of breaks it down by invention, experimentation, artists who've done
works based on the moog, etc...

any leads?  For starters, a list of artists, along the lines of denny's
"exotic moog", baxter's "moog rock", etc would be really ultrahelpful.
Especially musicians who had no business whatsoever crossing over into
wahwahwah territory, but did, because it was the instyle.

Subject: (exotica) Fred Lane

Can anyone tell me where to find a Fred Lane discography?  I own
only one record entitled, 'Car Radio Jerome' on ShimmyDisc.  It's
the only one I've ever seen, and it's one of the most twisted records
I have.  Everytime I encounter a mass of people at my house, I have
to play "French Toast Man".  My favorite lines:

Evacuate your bowels,
and have a hot lunch,
and don't be late for school.

Jeff

Another ShimmyDisc release of his is titled "From the One that Cut You."

According to "Total Television", it aired on CBS (!) from January to April
1952. Renzo Cesana starred as The Continental. It doesn't mention the KTLA
airings.

From there Cesana went on to a syndicated (also 1952) program called "First
Date", where he greeted couples who were on their first date together.

I wonder if he tried to steal all the girls.

And Christopher Walken's hysterical send-up of The Continental has
been featured a couple of times on "Saturday Night Live".  The POV
camera, the cheesy background music, the penthouse apartment, etc.

Synthmuseum
http://www.synthmuseum.com/

has tons of synthesizer history, including Robert Moog's exploits.

Don't know if they have a time-line, but I'm sure they've got the info you
would need to build one.

Yes. I have it. I believe it's a Tandy Corp. promotional thing. The
artist is Keith Droste. I am not sure if the title of the song is Moog
in my Soul or Smoke gets in my Moog. This is the first moog lp I found
and one of several I continue to enjoy. If you need any more
information, let me know. Good luck to your friend.

I spent the weekend in NYC, and, on Saturday night,
my friend Johanne and I bussed it over to Hoboken to
see Combustible Edison at Maxwell's.  A fab show, and
I would have introduced myself to fellow listers in the band,
but we had to leave before it was over to make a connection.
A wonderful time, though, and I loved the new stuff.

Gang,
I'm sending this "wild" to 78-l.  This sad news
is far too important to withhold from the list readers, as it is the first
notice I've had of passing of a good friend and 78 rpm era artist,
Korla Pandit.

>uncle dave,
>i heard that korla passed away last thursday. his last performance was

>                                                     kl

BTW, Korla would never confide his true age to me, nor anyone
else.  But I estimate it at about 77 years.  He was born in India
and came to Los Angeles in 1942, and got his start at the Capitol
transcription service make 16"ers of Spanish music under a
pseudonym.  When he first came to the U.S. he settled in a
black neighborhood, and forevermore spoke English with a
pronouced African-American accent.
In 1948, he began working for KTLA, making 'exotic' music
for TV (Korla was a pioneer in both mediums) in a turban
with a jewel hanging in the center (his trademark). Korla played
a Hammond B-3 and a concert grand fitted together in an "L"
configuration, and easily could play both at once.
He recorded 78s for Vita in 1950, and began to record a
successful series of albums for Fantasy, 12 in all, from 1958-1964.
Under the terms of his Fantasy contract, drawn up in 1960, Korla was
to receive all his tape masters back and a 15% royalty on
sales.  When I began to work with him, briefly, in 1995, he
had received neither.
Korla also ran a label of his own from the late 60s through the
early 1980s.  Late in life, he worked as an opener for Joey
Sehe's band, played silent movie houses ("The Phantom of
the Opera" was a specialty) and a few personal appearences
as a headliner, one of which I organized (at LunaPark in LA.)
I remember well his aged gas guzzler with it's distinctive
liscence plate "I AM KP".  He will be sorely missed on this
front.  The entire Exotic music industry of today owes a debt of
gratitude to KP, one which was never repaid to him when he
needed it.  God bless you, Korla, wherever you went.
