Subject: (exotica) Motor Obit

One of the best German labels ever, at least the best major label, has
just been slashed to pieces. Since Absolut Wodka took over PolyGram it
was clear things would change. 81 people will lose their job, Motor is
now a Rock label, the new home of Chris de Burgh!!!
Anybody out there, who wants to say, capitalism has its advantages?

No, say it isn't so!!! I was afraid this would happen with the PolyGram
takeover business.  Darn - and there are still a few Motor titles we
don't have yet (currently lost in the mail.  doesn't that just figure?)

Subject: (exotica) Re: Moog Fluting and CD-R News...

Folks,

Chris here. In regards to The Ebony Godfather's Moog Fluting LP, all I can say
is find this ditty.  Very fun, funky vibes.  It seems so out of place amongst
it's time period.  There really isn't alot of discernable moog in it though...
maybe I need to
listen harder

As for other business... I am now CD-R capable and plan on also *making* many
a CD-R of out of print treasures we all love and cherish... Moog Fluting being
one of them.  Others on my list include several Hugo Montenegro moog lp's,
some various moog and vocoder compilations, my extensive Noir Music
collection, Crime Jazz, Tommy Boyd's "Ah-So Suite"  Joe Puma and The Puma
Allstars "Like Tweet,"  Doc Severinsen's Jazz Injection, a whole bunch of Ted
Heath, Warren Barker, Frank Comstock, Giorgio Moroder and other space disco
plus many others from my collection.  Any requests?  My website will be up
soon with these listings...

Also, anyone been to the latest C.E. shows and have some reviews?  I saw them
in Tampa about 2 years ago and it was a flawless show...  couldn't have asked
for more.  I believe Miss Laura was there? Met Br. Cleve *tip-o-the-ol'hat*
and the rest...  I'm interested to hear how their new sound plays live and am
very much looking forward to their upcoming show here...

Also for anyone in the know, have you all heard or seen the singer "Toledo?"
('an I don't me Spudsville OHIO)  This guy is fricking incredible live.
Picture a very dark noirish crime jazz heavier Tom Waites.  His last show
featured a tight band and three very beautiful vixens in torn fishnets and
boostiers writhing around on the floor and in the crowd, blowing Winston
cigarette smoke on everyone and generally just giving us men shameless and
dirty boners. :)


Also, anyone else own and enjoy these:
Music For A Chinese Dinner At Home - Bob Lin Wu and His Orchestra
Electra Glide In Blue Soundtrack
The Family Soundtrack - Ennio Morricone

That is all. Hot Toddy's n' dice,

Chris

Subject: Re: (exotica) Commercial music (was dimitri of lexus)

Last week I was astounded to hear a re-recorded (new?) version
of Mancini's "The Boss" from Touch of Evil used in a commercial
for some financial institution (I believe the company was First
Union).

Also, something from Music for TV DInners: The '60s (I think it
was "Party Shaker" by Wolfgang Kaltenbach) turned up in a Slim
Jim commercial a few months back.

Here in Boston, these Sequel CDs have all recently turned up as
ultra-cheap cutouts:

The Sound Spectrum, Easy Project, House of Loungecore (Easy
Project II), Highly Strung, and You Can Be Wrong About Boys.

I don't know if this bodes particularly well for future releases in
their so-called "Loungecore" series.

Both of the Sound Gallery Volumes are still around at full price.

>>Say Jane, did Quinn Martian's earth father happen to work on "Black

of chipper whiteness carrying uncomfortable echoes of minstrel shows, for
me at least. Also frightening is the chorus, where the drill-team precise
male singers sing this line of: "Black Bottom! Black Bottom! Black Bottom!
Black Bottom!"
Also, with Miller's heavy involvement in the Golden Records kiddie line,
I'm curious if he (Martian, Sr.) worked on any of that material.<<


Hiya, Mace and the rest of the kids...I don't honestly know!  It would
depend on the dates of the aforementioned, get 'em, and I'll ask Mr.
Martian about the pasta-bilities.
With all due respect, tho, I think the list is slidin'...jez a bit...when
we're talking at length about Mitch Miller, tho I am guilty of prolonging
this!  I mean, first __Lenny Dee__(OK, no flames, I'm just being
gratuitously snippy!  I interviewed the man at his home a few years ago,
and he was a dear!)
But then again, I am prolonging this further.

RE:  all dem ITALIAN COMPS!  I have a lot of those, and while some are
indeed superior, I can't COMPLAIN about the sheer abundance of all this
great stuff THAT WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE TO ANY OF US, were it not coming out
en masse like this!  It's like a digital thrift store these days!  I feel
lucky to be in a time where I feel strangulated by the "volume" of records
I cannot buy,as oppossed to waiting by the "lounge" in a local chain for a
new release, or picking over Boston's rarely lucky thrift stores.  What a
problem to want TOO MUCH...

Uh, so there!

I saw that FASCINATING 4-hour special on the Rat Pack this weekend.  But I
was really kinda shaken up to see how Keely Smith looks these days!  A
picture of her in the 80s looked just like an aging, but slender, Keely.
Now, she looks like she has a thyroid condition.  Is she ok?
Any new news on the Keely/Sam Butera front, btw(shows, new LPs, etc?)

Subject: (exotica) a lurker no more!

I just want to say hi to everyone on the list.  I'm Al, and I won't bore you
with all the usual newby stuff, just that I will be putting in my two cents
worth from time to time. I work , and have worked for quite a while on the
periphery of the "music industry", i.e. not enough to make a full-time living,
but I do get the occasional interesting project. Now here's the stuff I used
to like to read when I was just a lurker    : Favorite new CD purchased: an
Italian cd on Butterfly Music "Homage to Federico Fellini", a compilation
ofsoundtrack selections up to and including Amarcord (a rerecording, but good,
all the rest are originals) . Saw the rerelease of Nights of Cabiria last
summer -- great, what an underrated    actress Giulietta Masina (Mrs. Fellini)
was. Favorite old vinyl recently purchased: found a mint copy of Ferrante and
Teicher Blast Off! --exceeded my expectations. Imagine an alternate universe
where F&T's avant-garde leanings were encouraged, rather than their Ed
Sullivan/Vegas side, and they are held in the same esteem as Sun Ra or Brian
Eno. It could have happened!

Media contact: Kerry Murphy [phone]

Sub Pop Releases the Star Report

After months of intense investigation, damning testimony, and an astounding
budget of $40, Sub Pop has uncovered the incredible trysts between
Combustible Edison's The Millionaire and his intern.

Though the Millionaire is best known for his work as one of the masterminds
behind the cocktail-swilling Combustible Edison, the Star Report sheds new
light on the extra-curricular activities on the suave and debonair artiste.

Musical selections like "Pink Victim," "Mr. Pushkin Came To Shove" and
"Seduction" from Combustible Edison's newest release, Impossible World first
tipped off the investigative forces at Sub Pop that there might be an even
more tawdry side to the Millionaire's life than was previously expected.

To find out what our probing investigation uncovered, go to
http://www.subpop.com to read the full report. Be sure to click on the links
in the document to hear the Star Report musical score (as performed by
Combustible Edison from Impossible World), which provides concrete evidence
to support these new allegations of the true impurity of the mind of The
Millionaire.

She's been ample for quite awhile. The cover of I'm In Love Again for
Fantasy in the mid 80s has her feathers around her face, obviously to cover
up. I saw her Vegas eons ago and she was pretty full-figured.

Her voice by the way is still amazing. Only slight traces of wear and tear.
Her unreleased tribute to Sinatra from a few years ago has her in great
voice and generally excellent Capitol-era arrangements by Billy May and a
few young bucks I didn't recognize.

You must be strange. Because you don't like Mirageman, and yet get so
so so enthusiastic and typographically idiosyncratic about records I
think are pretty boring. That's not bad. That's STRANGE. As in
"Incredibly STRANGE Music". All of us who spend our time delving
through obscure, weird (or anti-weird) musics have at least got to be
a little bit strange. I'm not, though. I'm just plain WEIRD. I
appreciate the wideness of your knowledge, but I don't share your
taste. WEIRD.

The really strange thing seemed to be that you were implying Mirageman
was BAD because you hadn't SOLD many copies, and I thought that
connection with commercial potential was a touch illogical.

Take it easy,
Pete.

i guess i might be the only one who thinks Dimitri hammered this sample to
death...in fact i think that whole album lacks a certain subtlety...which
is a shame really since many of his samples are quite interesting....he
just doesn't know when to stop using them. there's something to be said
about restraint...call it style.

I think the funniest thing about Mel Torme's version of this is that he
gets all the friggin' words wrong.  Didn't he have a lyric sheet?

Subject: (exotica) Was Mrs Miller black?

This summer i found a "7 single ("Bang Bang Lulu", Pama (Palmer Music)
1968) with a guy called Lloyd Terrell. The B-side is a Mrs Miller track
called "I never knew". It took long time for me to realize that it must
be "that" Mrs Miller, because it seemed so strange that Mrs Miller could
have done this thing, and so good. Stefan Kery convinced me when he
listened to it this saturday, he was as sure as could be. It is Mrs
Miller. And she can sing! At least she can sing reggae!

It made me wonder... Maybe the woman that sings on the Mrs Miller LPs
isnt the dame on the cover... Maybe the real "Mrs Miller" is from
Jamaica? Maybe she is black?

Prove me wrong.
Magnus

Subject: Re: (exotica) Was Mrs Miller black?

I may be grasping at straws here but Pama records is a British easy label -
Alan Hawkshaw's Mohawks LP, The Champ is on that label and features a
selection of tunes, some of which are done in a ska/reggae stylee. Ska was
huge in the UK in the late 60s and as is easy listening's way, cover's and
copies turned up in the most unlikely places - even Mrs Millar's B-sides.
This is reggae done by whitey. The music of Jah gone pale in de sun, ye
nah?

Mrs. Miller was on the Smothers Brothers show, in her suspected ethnicity,
if I am not mistaken.  I was not able to see the show in the reruns that
were on the E! network, so I have no visual reference, but from the aural
evidence of the "Greatest Hits" LP, I would not say that she is one of my
racial brethren or sistren.  It is quite likely that that is another woman
who married a Miller (Jacob, perhaps?) and decided to release her power of
song on an unsuspecting populace.

Still trying to figure out the same thing about Shooby Taylor, though.  I
think he's Black, (not many White people have covered "Lift Ev'ry Voice and
Sing"), however, I have yet to see a picture of him or gather what his real
first name is.

They call me MISTER Phillips!

Subject: (exotica) Chaino -erotic percussion

Chaino "Erotic percussion" was sold by the guy Jim Eukey some time ago,
i wrote him and asked if this Chaino was the same Chaino that made some
fantastic LPs in the 50s that got reissued on a cd last year, but he
didnt care to answer on that, maybe he didnt know.

I am asking because the title is unfamiliar to me... It isnt listed in
the discography they have in the cd booklet if I am correct.

Anybody know?

Subject: (exotica) PBS note

Around here, the first night has already run, but with the disunity of PBS
station scheduling (and possibility of repeat airings), maybe this will
help anyway.

PBS is running a 6-hour documentary mini-series, "I'll Make Me A World",
covering African-American arts (including music, of course) throughout the
century. I caught the first two hours last night, and found it well
worthwhile. Watch your local listings.

Somehow, I don't expect to see Mrs. Miller included.

You mean words like "Sunshine came softly a-through my window today. Could
have tripped out D.C. but I changed my ways......Cause i've made my mind up
your going to be mine, I'll take-a- your  hand and-a-slowly blow your little
