Ooooh I've come over all excited,  I'm not familiar with Peter Thomas,  but
I'm definitely going to search out this.  Sounds excellent.

I just picked up a new Peter Thomas compilation, "Moonflowers and
Miniskirts" on Marina Records (MA 39). It was released yesterday. I
haven't listened to it yet, but I figured folks would be interested
enough without my wittering (I didn't notice any earlier mentions of
it). Here is the blurb from http://www.marina.com/

I just got back from the Costello/Bacharach show at the Universal
Amphitheater. Great night! Did anyone else here go?

I was certainly there more to see Costello than Bacharach, but in the end,
I suppose that Bacharach was more impressive. He just had that band (about
30 members, including a full string section) SO in his back pocket, if you
know what I mean. Such easy-going confidence. Kinda filled me with awe,
frankly. Such star quality -- like, "Wow, there HE is!!" Heh.

Though admittedly, the worst part of the night was the two songs which
Bacharach sang. Ouch. He is NOT a singer.

Anyway....

                          *Arnold Auerbach
    NEW YORK (AP) -- Arnold Auerbach, a comedy writer for Milton Berle and Al
Jolson, died Monday. He was 86.
    Auerbach, who contributed sketches to the Broadway revues ``Call Me
Mister'' and ``Inside USA,'' got into show business in 1932, when one of his
scripts was selected for a Columbia University show presented at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
    During World War II, he contributed skits to a musical comedy, ``About
Face,'' staged by the Special Services. Mickey Rooney later used the show to
entertain troops in Europe.
    Auerbach contributed satirical essays to The New York Times and other
publications. His books include ``Funny Men Don't Laugh'' (1965), about his
comedy writing for radio, and ``Is that Your Best Offer?'' (1971), a novel.

>The Legendayr Criswell Predicts Your Amazing Future - MDWCGCG Records
>Anybody heard of this? Is this actually a spoken-word record from Criswell
>or some band being cut?

hi

yes, this is a spoken-word CD (i have it on CD (i guess it might be a
reissue - original vinyl anyone?)) which features the 1950s, er, soothsayer
criswell (as "featured" in plan 9 from outer space, and star of the johnny
carson show for a while i believe?) almost randomly predicting, in the
loosest possible sense of the word, on various aspects of near-future
culture. he is occasionally remarkably accurate, but this seems rather more
to do with the statistical probabilities of his shotgun approach to
predicting occasionally hitting home than any especial prescience on his
part. but then as jg ballard says, accuracy is the last refuge of the
unimaginative.

it is, of course, hilarious.

he talks about gender roles (anyone else detect the influence of a strong
mother figure and possibly absent father in mr. criswell?), bodypainting,
politics, fashion, television and a lengthy diatribe on leprosy. his
delivery is dramatic and florid, and yet halting and uncertain as he turns
the pages of his script (which he does often - large handwriting?) ....

and i'm disappointed with myself for not sampling it to death as part of my
as yet unheard hip-hop classic (which is as yet un-realised of course). bet
someone else goes and does it now.

if i've got the label right, it's on "mad deadly worldwide communist
gangster computer god" (which is obviously the best record label name in
the world, ever) ...

i got my copy from michael mascioli's all music services ... email
[e-mail]

packaging is a little spartan, but there are some websites with further
info ... there's a great site at http://www.planetjoe.com/criswell/ which
has a lot of criswell predicting (beware the embedded sound clip) ...

e.g.

"I predict that the strongest earthquake in the history of the U. S. will
virtually wipe out the city of San Francisco on April 7, 1975. A huge
fault, familiar to all geologists, will give way, and the earth will split
open from north of San Francisco to Los Angeles. Damage in Los Angeles will
be less than San Francisco. There will be more than 25,000 persons killed
in this earthquake."

hmmm.

"I PREDICT that "Miss America" of 1973 will be a Negro girl from Chicago"

well .... i couldn't verify this one ...

"I predict the assassination of Fidel Castro by a woman, on August 9, 1970."

bang on, again.

i note there's some backing music on the planetjoe soundclip though, which
there isn't on my release - any clues anyone? the only annoying aspect of
the CD is that it's got no index points, so you're left with one 40-odd
minute track which makes prediction-navigation difficult ...

cheers,
dan.

I agree!  What I have seen was VERY traditional as she did a lot of
more traditional material.  I did just find a "best of" CD in Toronto last
weekend and  happily it had that great "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Honolulu
String Bikini" song on it that was credited to Club Honolulu (Caterina & Silvio).
It was Teldec Germany and there is also one of Manuela which I will look for next.

Add me to the list of those owning this one (you would expect any less!)  Wasn't
the What's Dat 33/45 lp on an American label?  I remember seeing what I thought
was a Das Buro sign in the window of a building (around the Bowery?) in New
York many years ago but didn't go in.  Should have!

Re: Film dubbing
Here in Quebec (Canada) we have replicated the same film dubbing
policy that France maintains,  ie. you can't show a commercial print
of a film unless a dubbed version (dubbed in Quebec! - France dosn't
count - and vice versa) is available wihin a short period.  Thankfully,
there are a few institutions here at least that are more serious about film
that never run anything dubbed.  With television, dubbing is always
the norm although the quality conscious networks here make some
effort to run subtitled prints.

And which name came straight from the mind-melting rants of Francis E. Dec, Esq.
Check him out in the Schizophrenic Wing of the Kooks Museum. These rants
have been sampled in "Bill Gates" by Critters Buggin' and in "St. Francis
E." on the "Psychic TV: Ultrahouse, the L.A. Connection" CD.

Do you mean "the girls of Paramaribo"?
There is a vocal version on the cd 'Get easy vol.4" and an instrumental
version on the cd "Espresso espresso"/ Sorry, but I don't know from
which lp this originally came.

Subject: (exotica) New Orange Symphonette!!!

The new Oranj Symphonette album entitled _the Oranj Album_
came out last week on Rykodisc and proves that The Millionaire
might not be the only current king of exotica, add to the list, Joe
Gore (most known for his work with Tom Waits and PJ Harvey)
but we all know he has Oranj Symphonette, Tipsy, and his newly
formed Action Plus in his list of crown jewels...

The Oranj Album is so 'this listy' its not even funny...it reads like
somebody's yard sale wet dream...subtitled "plays your favorite
popular favorites" for added kitsch factor...they aren't kidding.

All songs from soundtracks and all great songs indeed.  Of course,
they are redefining that exotica sound with today's modern recording
techniques...so things sound a little over the top with this rock combo
cum exotic orchestra...

I'll give you the list of songs and assure you that this record is even
better than their reading of Mancini which wasn't the least bit shabby
either...

Call Me Mr. Tibbs
The Magnificent Seven
Satin Doll
Beat Girl
Bananas
Dreamsville
A Man and a Woman
After the Fox
Arabesque
Midnight Cowboy
Up, Up and Away
Chelsea Bridge
Valley of the Dolls

Now, if I can only get all of the orignals!

turn on is Tim Gane (stereolab) Sean O'Hagan (high Llamas) and guest vocals
from the one and only Laetitia
Sandler of Stereolab.  If you like stereolab, you'll like turn-on, but
don't expect a total stereolab spin off.  there are definite high llama
influences at work.  their s/t LP is that black yellow one.  very good!

Subject: (exotica) Electronic Toys Vol.2

Has anybody heard the second Vol. of the Electronic Toys compilation
already. How is it?

I liked the first one pretty much. It has pieces by Dave Vorhaus of
White Noise. Great cover photography by Bunny Yeager. The music on this
compilation in general is of the same branch as Bruce Haack, playful
super-synthetic electronics somewhere between children music and weird.
Not especially made for dancing, but keeping the promise that the
synthesizer once gave to the 20th century. Electric To Me Turn!

Well I think all my opinions are objective of course but anyway, if you
like moog records, which apparently you do, I think you should have the
zeeT Band's record.

Of course that doesn't mean you should pay big money for it.  That's my
subjective opinion anyway.

I think that most moog records are failed experiments but there are
interesting failures and boring ones and this attempt to use moog in a
funky boogie woogie context is definitely one of the interesting failures.
There are a few cuts which are just endless noodling riffs.  But then there
are a few cuts that work.

And if you like endless noodling riffs, then definitely you should buy it.

Raumpatrouille is overly orchestral, lacks a solid beat and falls short of
being brilliant. But it is a fantastic LP with inventive sounds, exciting
and unusual arrangements and a leaning towards electronic sounds (although
I think its orchestral only). It is definately worth owning and you should
buy it asap.

Has anyone on the list got Les Baxter's Hell's Belles soundtrack? I am
about to start an intensive search and was wondering how much I should
expect to pay.

Which is why you should buy it. Sorry, I'm just a big High Llamas fan. =

                            *Molly O'Day
    ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (AP) -- Molly O'Day, a star of the silent screen who
began her career in ``Our Gang' films and worked with Stan Laurel and Oliver
Hardy, died Thursday. She was 88.
    She defeated 2,000 contenders in an audition for the tough girl heroine in
the 1927 prizefighter movie ``The Patent Leather Kid.''
    That role led to major roles in ``The Lovelorn,'' ``Hard-Boiled Haggerty,''
``Shepherd of the Hills,'' ``The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come,'' ``Show
of Shows,'' ``Sisters,'' ``Hired Wife,'' ``Gigolettes of Paris,'' ``Skull
and Crown'' and other features.
    Miss O'Day, born Suzanne Noonan, was selected by Hal Roach to be a player
in RKO's ``Our Gang'' comedies while still a freshman in high school. A
contract player, she worked with young comedians, including Laurel and Hardy
before they became a comedy team.

                            *David Proch
    LIGONIER, Pa. (AP) -- David Proch, a singer who became the third person to
sing first tenor for the group the Skyliners, died Monday in a car accident.
He was 44.
    His car collided with a truck hauling asphalt on U.S. Route 30 near
Ligonier, about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh.
    Proch was singing with another group when the Skyliners came to hear him
sing in 1993. At first listen, the Skyliners' original lead singer, Jimmy
Beaumont, invited him to join the group.
    The Skyliners played places like Atlantic City, Hawaii and Madison Square
Garden.

Subject: (exotica) Pete Moore

I recently saw a Pete Moore plays Bacharach LP for sale, which wasn't
expensive and didn't look all that cool, and I also have Exciting Sounds of
Tomorrow, an LP of his which features Catwalk, the track featured on In
Flight Entertainment. Does anybody know any other work by Pete Moore - LPs
or singles? Somebody mentioned a track of his called Shady Blues but I
don't know about this one. From what I've heard of him so far, I'd say he's
worth deeper investigation: heavy flutes, wah wah and fuzz guitar and very
funky arrangements.
Moore info anyone?

For a German sci-fi series of the 60s, yes. Only 7 (black and white)
episodes. Nice cheapo decor, you can actually recognize the plastic mugs
and flat-irons that they used for space ship consoles and interior
designs. Commander Tamara Jagelovsk (Eva Pflug) plays a witch in the new
Dorau-movie, Commander Lydia Van Dyke (Charlotte Kerr) was the wife of
Swiss author Max Frisch. Commander McLane (Dietmar Sch=F6nherr) said some
pretty male-chauvinistic things according to contemporary standards. The
underwater Starlight Caf=E9 in Raumpatrouille is really cool and sometime=
s
the astronauts do weird looking "futuristic" dances while sharks float
by in the background. But compared to Star Trek or Thunderbolt
Raumpatrouille was nothing special...

Subject: (exotica) JJ Perrey at The Justice League

JJ Perrey, Live at the Justice League in San Francisco.

Got there late, which turned out to be early. (Why is this ALWAYS the
case?) Had time to sip a drink, soak in the atmosphere, and jockey for
position at the bar. The stage was sparse. There was a boombox, a
reel-to-reel deck and an Ondioline.

I really did not know what to expect: Some longhaired academic
dissertation about Musique Concrete, a rambling, angry man complaining
about all the people who have sampled him and never paid royalties, a
musical performance... But when he walked onto the stage and began to
apologize for being late and not speaking English very well, I knew
whatever it was was going to be a real treat.

He was so glad to be there, basking in the glow of new generations of
people getting off on his playful little ditties. He did not seem to
have any real agenda, and began taking questions almost immediately.
There was no information to be gleaned that is not in the biographies
most of us are familiar with - but hearing him tell it was great fun.
As one would imagine from his music, he is an an intensely playful
person who takes his lightheartedness very seriously, and his presence
onstage demanded that you submit to the joy of a man who has been
goofing off all of his life and getting paid for it.

After telling of spending 72 hours of splicing together the sounds of
live bees to generate one minute of music, he played the track, flight
of the bumblebee on the boombox, holding the mic to it for everyone to
hear. To the crowd's delight, he begins to subtly manipulate the sound
by moving the mic around and creating an impromptu audible dance. When
that was not enough, he introduced his friend, a stuffed elephant (you
know, the one who never forgets) It is interesting to note that this
master of electronic music, like all men his age, has a devil of a time
with a CD player. It became a running gag. He would usually fill any gap
by reminding us to call Disneyland and tell tem to bring back the Main
Street Electrical Parade.It would seem very static and boring to stand
on stage and play CD's into a microphone, but he pulled it of in his
intoxicating combination of dance, pantomime and poetry - like that
favorite great-uncle who would drink a bit and do magic tricks for the
kids.

Later he tells of an encounter With Salvador Dali as he was working on
Flight of the Bumblebee. Dali listend silently to the recording and sits
wordlessly as Jean Jeaques waits unconfortably for a reaction. After
contemplating, Dali Suddenly leaps up onto his chair,and proclaims,
"INCREDIBLE!!!  FORMIDABLE!!!" (or something like that)

When Perrey sat down at the Ondioline and noodled out a few sounds,
I was STUNNED. The right hand played some simple Perryesque melodies
while the left hand flew over 15 or so levers tweaking and pulling to
shape the individual notes. It sounded like outtakes from a P/K record.
I had always wondered what was the process he used to give his keyboard
playing that "talking" quality. That was it. He also demonstrated how he
"sampled." He displayed a reel of short sections of tape and explained
that each section was an individual note with blank spaces of silence
between them. He played a few signature "Fweet boop BOOP wubba wubba
FWEET boop Shweeew!" Just like you've heard a thousand times before,
then pulled a section off and looped it, threaded it back on the machine
and let it roll. It was magical. After the show, I went straight for the
stage to get a closer look at the loop. Would you believe each note in
labeled onthe back of the tape "DO RE FA SO LA TE DO?" Perrey does not
read music, but that's how he keeps track of the notes.

I was one of many who waited around afterwards. Most sought autographs,
I just wanted to say hello and tell him about how I have been humming
tunes from "The IN Sound" since I was 4 or 5, as a result of hearing
his music regularly KTVU, channel 2 as bumper music for their cartoon
show. I had "Litlle man from Mars" stuck in my head forever. He seems to
enjoy hearing about all the different ways his music has been used and
enjoyed.

Of the few listers I thought I could recognize, none showed up.
Anybody else go? Anybody bring a notebook? I wish I would have..I would
have supplied more specific detail.

I was glad to hear that he plans to be back next year. I'll be there.
This time with the camcorder.


Ron

Subject: (exotica) Nattering nabobs of exotica pt 1

I've decided that these "look what I found" posts are more about "look what
exists". OR  "Look what you could buy" if your taste takes the permanent
vacation mine seems to have gone off on.

The high and low lights of my purchases at last weekend's record show:

SPIRO T AGNEW "The Speeches that Stirred America"
The liner notes include a definition of "nattering nabobs of negativism".
(I guess some younger members are lost here.)
Anyway, I thought I'd start with this questionable purchase, especially by
a Canadian, even if it was just a buck.
I start with this one because of this tidbit on the liner notes:
"When he has time, he likes watching the Baltimore Colts on television, and
listening to standards and show tunes, especially when performed by
Lawrence Welk and Mantovani".

Once upon a time I could have read that and scoffed in nattering nabob
superiority. But no more.  Now I have records that Spiro T Agnew might have
enjoyed.

Anyway, continuing on:

RONNIE ALDRICH "All time piano hits".
Don't laugh.  This is the best Ronnie and his two pianos yet.  Maybe it's
because he does "exotica" better than he does "Now Sound".  The tune
"Voodoo Moon" is going to go on a lot of future exotica tapes, if I can
remember it.

ROSEMARY CLOONEY & PEREZ PRADO
I thought this was some kind of classic but it's not as good as I'd hoped.
But there's a cool version of "Bali Hai".

PEREZ PRADO - "Latin Satin" (RCA)
I can never pass up his records or Tito Puente's or Cugat's but they are
starting to sound the same and I'm wondering why I keep buying them.  So I
look for any tiny thing that distinguishes them.  On this record there's a
version of "Tabu" where the trumpet sounds so much like the human voice
that I'm not sure what's making the sound.

DICK SCHORY "on TOUR with his Percussion Pops Orchestra"
He's not exactly "rocking the Fillmore" but I don't think I've seen many
LIVE lounge records, at least not with musicians of this calibre.  I wish
it was more of a thrill to hear Dick announce the tunes but it isn't.
As Dick Schory records go, this is so-so but I hold him to a higher
standard.  I have to admit that it's kind of amazing he can do reproduce
his percussive sound in concert as well as he can.

Here's his intro to one tune:

"The instruments and rhythms of primitive man lend themselves well to the
percussion treatment.  Here's our concert presentation of music from the
dark and mysterious jungle.  Orinoco!"

If you can explain the connection between the first sentence and the second
one, please explain it to me.  In fact if you can explain the first
sentence, that's impressive. Is he implying that Orinoco is a tune that
goes back to primitive man?

JOE SHERMAN and Pachanga Charanga Kings
My second way-above-average record by this Joe Sherman guy, not the one I
went to school with so who is he?
This record just may inspire me to set out upon the truly obsessional task
of trying to do an "ALL-FRENESI" tape.  This is a great version that
belongs right up there with the Roger Williams version.

THE FORTUNE TELLERS - "Song of the Nairobi Trio"
This is actually a close-to-great record with Robert Maxwell - sans harp -
doing a fake Arabic music thing.   There are some truly surprisingly great
little guitar riffs on this record.

MONGO SANTAMARIA - "Watermelon Man"
While I'm on the "great-ish" records, might as well slip this one in. I've
said this before but as cool as Mongo's later records are (where he covers
stuff like "Satisfaction"), they don't compare to this early stuff which is
truly grrrrr-eat.
This record is on the "Battle" label which I don't think I've seen before.
I only mention that because the sound on this record is so "present" and
"alive" that I wondered if it was something about the pressing, a subject I
never think about.

TOM AND JERRY'S GREATEST HITS
A couple of weeks after seeing their names for the first time on this very
mailing list, and wondering if I was missing anything, I find this record
and realize that basically I wasn't.  Okay guitar instrumentals.

Speaking of which...

"Happy Youthful New Sounds of THE GUITAR RAMBLERS" under the direction of
Jack Marshall.
The liner notes claim that this is a group of faceless young guitarists who
dropped by Jack's house one day.  But then there are professional
guitarists who do the solos.  In any case, there's one tune here "Malibu
Caravan" that should be added to the list of "exotica" classics.
If anyone has this record, maybe they can help me with something.  There's
a tune here called "Mother please let me do it myself" which begins with
this repeated riff that is so familiar but I can't place it and it's
driving me crazy.  I don't know if the whole tune was used as an old TV
theme but the opening riff must have been.  Anyone?

I guess I'll make this "part one" and continue the list in part two.

Nattering Nat
