Subject: (exotica) PERVIRELLA!

Hiya, kids...time for Jane Fondle's record corner.  Today we find the
smashing new soundtrack to the B-movie(or in her case, it should be Double
D) PERVIRELLA!  (yes I know, DJ Bumpy was oooo-ing and ahhh-ing over this,
too, great minds think alike, and two great tastes go great toge-tha!)

Like a good, varied soundtrack, it has just about everything(except, the
keen minds at Dionysus and Exotic Entertainment left off the obligatory
country tune and koo-koo circus numbers found on so many Mancinis and
Rotas!)  You will find Italian-sound spy instrumental, organ grroooovvve,
and 70s futuristic orchestra madness a la SPACE 1999!
OK, I'm gonna take a leap here, but yes, this soundtrack is better than
it's for-runner BARBARELLA.
Even the main title, by Francois Evans and The London Gay Symphony
Orchestra, is swankier than the BARB theme.  It has that same vibe, but
also sounds sorta like Mike Flowers!  And of course, since garage-groovies
the Diaboliks are featured in the flim, you get some of them too.  They
also contribute a spicey, Middle Eastern flavoured-num-bah!  Seriously,
sugar, this will stir your LOINS!  I ordered mine from Dionysus on "pink"
vinyl, if that ain't saucy!  Smack, smack - Jane Fondle

This is the ONLY time you may ever hear me say this on this list, but, Johnny
Mathis' version is one of the few vocal versions of it and it's rather good.
It is on his first album (Author Harlan Ellison is a great fan of this album)

I recently picked up a Duke Ellington CD (on Verve) just to have a version
of "Caravan" by the man. I was (pleasantly) surprised to find that it was
a version with vocals by Ella Fitzgerald.

Speaking of this song, here is a case where I do not prefer the original over
all (hold on Ellington fans, I am one of you!).  The original is credited to
"Barney Bigard and his Jazz-O-Pators", which is Ellington and sidemen under a
different name, but this version is not as good as the later versions that he
cut.  There is the version I have (the flipside is "Azure" another gem) which I
prefer,because there are more instruments, but the version I first heard is a
live one, with a VERY noisy crowd.  The tempo is slower (they don't have to
rush to fit a 78!) and the crowd noise adds an interesting ambience to the
whole affair.

The Best of Duke Ellington on Capitol also has a great later version, with the
horms adding odd harmonies to the melody line.

The most different version of "Caravan" I ever saw and heard was performed by
one of my former teachers, bassist Mark Dresser, who not only played the melody
with the bass but added percussion parts as well by using the bow against the
bass and strings.  I never could play the bass THAT well!

Subject: (exotica) Dusty's funeral

    HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England (AP) -- Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and Elton John
sent flowers and Elvis Costello, Kiki Dee and Lulu were among the mourners
Friday at Dusty Springfield's funeral.
    The soulful pop singer died of breast cancer on March 3 at 59.
    ``She was the very essence of fabness,'' said Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop
Boys, who recorded ``What Have I Done to Deserve This?'' with Ms.
Springfield in 1987.
    Costello told the congregation at St. Mary-the-Virgin Church that Ms.
Springfield's voice communicated a ``sense of longing that demanded your
attention.''
    Costello also read a tribute from American composer Burt Bacharach who
said: ``You could hear just three notes and you knew it was Dusty. It was
such a rare and beautiful voice. I just want to add my thanks for every
beautiful note Dusty sang.''

Subject: (exotica) It WORKS!

After nearly a week of testing and tweaking the FEELTHY MONKEY shoutcast
server is running GREAT, treating the web to some seriously weird
exotica flavored programming in  S T E R E O!

It's amazing that the whole kit-and-kaboodle is humming along reasonably
well on ONE wood-burning steam-driven 200mhz Windoze OS machine,  WOW!
We are also getting a tremendous amount of response from "drop-in"
listeners.  Woohoo! (We also get lots of immediate tune-outs, but I see
this as a sign we are doing things right.)

As far as programming, I am STILL running Johan's FANTASTICA! programs,
and will be rotating in a new crop
of shows this evening. I will be putting up other gems very soon if time
permits to digitize and convert them to Mp3. I am hoping to have some
time to do some LIVE netcasting Saturday night starting around 8pm or so
Pacific Time.  Friday night might yeald some time to go live too...
probable after 10pm Pacific.

http://www.xtabay.com/feelthyradio.htm is the place to join the grand
experiment. See the studio LIVE on the webcam. To listen, you need at
least a 56k  modem and WINAMP. I provide links on the page to help you
get started if you don't have it. Winamp is FREE and a cinch to
install/run. It's also the essential player for sound files of ANY kind.

I would encourage anyone on this list to make an effort to listen to the
prerecorded loop of FANTASTICA! running right now - it really is an
amazing thing Johan cooks up.- a real treat.  Also, if anyone wants to
send a mix that they are particularly proud of, I would be glad to put
it in the rotation. Radio programmers? anyone? anyone?

Please let me know how it works for you - especially the 56k modem
users... I am trying to find the perfect balance between high sound
quality and bandwidth, so your input would be appreciated. I MIGHT be
adding a second server to let 28.8 users tune in , too... that's a month
or two away, though.

Anyone with Linux experience? I need to pick a brain.

Thanks for the space. Remember.....FEEDBACK!

Ron

A couple of my favorite "Caravans" are The Three Suns' version and that
early Les Paul take.

The Ventures do a truly scorching rendition on "Live In Japan '65". Except
an endless drum solo kind of takes the wind out of its sails.

That's more a visual thing.  At the start of the solo, the other three guys
leave the stage and leave the late (and missed) Mel Taylor to it.  Bob Bogle
(bass) then returns and the penultimate part of the solo is Taylor using
a drumstick to play the 4th string of Bogle's bass.  I'm sure they were not
the first group to do this, but they certainly did it well.  I saw them do
this
in 1969 with a different drummer (Joe Barile I think) and it was quite a
cute act.

The studio recording of Caravan (on the "Bobby Vee meets The Ventures"
album) is not so long, and pretty fierce.

He also arranged and conducted the "Girl From U.N.C.L.E." soundtrack
(wonder if he's making money off the theme song now that Dimitri's samples
of it have become a car commercial?")

Pretty sure he wrote "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", Frankie Valli's late

Subject: (exotica) Retro Future - URLs

Hi again,

    OK, I've finally found time to cruise AOL's Retro Future area.  It seems
much of it is web-based but they may be on servers accessible to AOL Members
only.

    First, I'd like to say that I'll not post more on this.  I merely wanted
to let those who may be interested know that these possible areas of
possibly related interest exist on AOL.

    There are 4 Topic folders in the Retro Future Message Board.

They are:
    Retro Future Thoughts        61 posts
    Flying Car                               79 posts
    Space Age Bachelor Pad    18 posts
    Golf on the Moon                   23 posts

    I stated earlier that I thought this was a new area on AOL.  They use a
Topic of the Week format, the current one "Flying Car", so "Golf on the
Moon" and "Space Age Bachelor Pad" probably came first.  Not even a month
old!  Looks like "Space Age Bachelor Pad" wasn't such a big hit, probably
the first ToW they had.  I hope my fellow AOLers on this list will find time
to post and offer suggestions for the area.  Could be fun to make it our
own.  : )

For me, this album is one of those "so bad it's good" titles.  The combination
of classical standards with a doo-wop beat behind them is outrageous!  What
were they thinking?

Subject: (exotica) Caravan faves

It's twinkie and utterly irrational, but I love Buddy Cole's Caravan from
Pipes, Pedals and Fidelity on Columbia. Maybe it's the gong that opens the
arrangement or maybe it's the growl that Buddy pulls from his theatre
organ. You'd be mad to find it at all groovesque, but that's what I play
when I need a Caravan fix. Carioca from PP&F has a similar effect. The only
other decent tune on the record is You Go to My Head, in which Buddy
scatters these  hesitations....uh-oh, looks like he's teetering....aiii,
fight an urge to leap to my feet and grab him before he topples right over!
Then Buddy catches himself and gets back to the tune.

Did somebody mention the John Buzon Trio's Caravan from Inferno?
Pandemonium on wax.

That sounds like an amazing LP!

Apart from the almost unbeatably classic versions by the Three
Suns and Sir Julian, I like the version by Bobby Byrne on
"Persuasive Percussion 1966" and also Johnny "Chaquito"
Gregory's version (which I have on a compilation LP).  They both
take a cool, swingin' crime jazz approach.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Teddy Randazzo

A young Teddy Randazzo can be seen in "Mister Rock And Roll" (1957), one of
the Alan Freed rock exploitation movies. Not a cameo role either. He's the
male lead as a young singer who becomes a (fictional) star with a little
help and advice from Alan Freed. Also with Chuck Berry, Frankie Lymon and
The Teenagers, Little Richard, The Moonglows, Laverne Baker, Lionel
Hampton, Brook Benton, Clyde McPhatter and Ferlin Husky. Rocky Graziano too!

Back in real life, Teddy also produced the 60s psych band, The Third Bardo
("I'm Five Years Ahead Of My Time"). A full and varied career.

I also submit that Teddy's arrangements coupled with Burt Bacharach's
melodical influences were subliminally combined to give birth to The Sound of
Philadelphia, THEE soul sound of 1968-79.......My .02 for you, Jimmy

Subject: (exotica) Leah's Lament

While transporting my kids, I often force them to listen to a tape of my most
recent radio show. My daughter, Leah,  while listening to Ray Conniff's
version to "Love Is All Around" aka The Theme From Mary Tyler Moore , said
"Daddy, that song makes me sad".  I, thinking it was a vintage life-affirmer,
said to Leah, 6,  "Why honey? Its just a theme song for an old TV show shown
when Daddy was young." She said, "Its not the words Daddy, its the way the
song sounds that makes me sad."  I savor the moment..........

Subject: (exotica) question for the list

where can I get, or does anyone on the list have info on the Limelight and
Probe record labels, e.g. discographies, who ran the companies,any old dealer
catalogues. I am intrigued by the contrast between "normal" music and whacked-
out stuff on both those labels. I would like to meet the A&R guy who signed
both Doc Severensen and the Soft Machine. although, I did buy a Doc S. LP, "D.
S.'s Closet", I think , that has a great version of "In The Court of the
Crimson King" . would have loved to seen him do that one on the Tonight Show
in one of his groovy Austin Powers-ish jackets. Also, a porn director wants to
work with "our" lovely Lounge Laura ! say it ain't so !

Interesting.  Very interesting.  I think I like it.  Can't tell yet if it's
a lounge parody, or lounge viewed through a late-nineties window.  Kind of
like William Gibson or Bruce Sterling overdosing on Populuxe LSD ("Sinatra
in Dark Glasses and a Leopard-Skin Smoking Jacket").  No, maybe more like
Anne Rice ("Interview With The Vampire Peggy Lee").  Nicely designed, from
what I see so far.

Yeek, that's fuckin' cold.  I guess there's a vague resemblance, at least in
the lower of the two photos, but I haven't had long hair for a couple of years
now.  I think the closest thing I have to an online photo at the moment is the
Dr. Katz thing at <http://www.studio-nibble.com/lazlo/quotes.html>.

Subject: (exotica) new discussion list???

hi all,
i was just wondering if anyone knows if there's a discussion list dedicated
to new releases that tend to pop up here on this list occasionally.  like
that great post chuck wrote about Shibuya-kei, as well as the french and
euro and u.k. stuff and whatever output is coming from the U.S. and
elsewhere.

while i like the openness of exotica to include new as well as old stuff,
it just seems like there should or could be such a list too.

in case i've not made clear what sort of new stuff i'm talking about:
fantastic plstic  machine, dimitri from paris, april march, cornelius,
kahimi kariye, (say whatever happened to tipsy anyway?), jimi tenor, pizz5,
st. etienne,  stereolab, you get the idea, etc...

maybe there's a website for this already?

please advise?  thanks!

ciao,
kevin leeeeee
