For those interested, I did an interview with Miss Murgatroid and Petra

Subject: (exotica) Re: Warp back to Earth

The double CD contains both 17 "remixes", and 29 unreleased Peter Thomas
tracks, which I haven't heard yet, as I went for the LP version - alas!
That double LP contains ONLY the 17 "remixes": new tracks on the basis of
never released bits and pieces by peter Thomas that are/were electronic
sound-experiments from the beginning seventies.

With: Stockhausen & Walkman, Tipsy, Stereolab, Saint Etienne, High Llamas,
Coldcut, Momus, Yoshinori Sunahara, Mr. Scruff, Dauerfisch, Ronnie & Clyde,
Stereo Total, Sons Of Silence, Schneider TM, Mina, Tortoise.

Doesn't sound at all like any other Peter Thomas material that is available
on cd. This is contemporary, industrial?/electronic/sample/loop
techno-minded music, with accent on rhythm, and little melody.

I didn't like it at all, but I'm not "in to" today's modern music...

Subject: (exotica) Helen Mayer, Dumbo & Denny

I have really enjoyed the OST to Dumbo with all the bonus tracks added
on.  Very wonderful and strange children"s music.  My 3 year old
daughter has it on cassette and she doesn't seem to like it as much as
I do.   I think genes are the number one influence on your taste in
music.  As much as I have exposed her to Martin Denny, she's shown no
inclination to really like it as Tiki Bob's son does.   If I put on an
upbeat "Now Sound" recording she'll ask me to dance.

Easy listening in the Big Easy

Phil Dirt is indeed right that the the backup band is Davie Allan and the
Arrows.  As far as the singer, I asked Davie who it was.  He said it was
Barbara Pittman who had some minor hits with Sun Records back in the =
'50's.
She is currently living in Memphis.

Subject: (exotica) Ashphodelic

Saw this remix cd with 3 songs remixed by the great and wonderful
Tipsy for sale at cdnow for $5.95 or some ridiculously low price.  The
Cdnow computer actually recommended it to me as a cd I should like!?

Its a remix of songs I presume on the Ashphodel label.  Does anyone
own this and have any recommendations.  From what I heard at cdnow
real audio the 2 Tipsy songs were pretty Tipsyish.

When is Tipsy ever going to release their sophomore effort?  It seems
like years since their first release!

And the same goes for the Gentle People, I mean here is shibuya-kei
exploding all over the world and their fans are just waiting for more
gentle sounds.  I love the Gentle People, I love the Gentle People, I
love the Gentle People..............

I saw Medium Rare is carrying the Gentle People's great compilation
cd, "Music to Watch Comets By" and also Lorraine Bowens 2nd cd.  I got
my Comets cd from othermusic which I also understand will be carrying
both of the Lorraine Bowen cds.

When the music gets weird, the weird listen to music

Subject: Re: (exotica) Andre Williams concert

>>The concert with Andre Williams turned out to be rather strange...

EXACTLY,
your experience sounds the same as mine. that was the same lame white bread
R+R band from Cali that backed him when i saw him.

it is unfortunate. but what has saved me from andre dissappointment is
 andre's newest release RED DIRT on Bloodshot. CD only :(
it is awesome!
the backing band is a really great R+B roots country twang group called the
SADIES,
now on tour with Flat Duo Jets.
the album "sounds" great and is what i would dub an instant classic.
he is doing renditions only andre could do (with his rawness, humor and
experience) of some of his favorite country tunes.
Busted
Pardon Me (I've Got Someone to Kill)
Psycho
I'm an Old Old Man (Tryin' to Live While I Can)
Easy on the Eyes
Queen of the World

including originals that are simply a must hear/have.
Tramp Trail
Hey Truckers
My Sister Stole My Woman
Weapon of Mass Destruction (my favorite)
and more...only 40 minutes long (perfect for vinyl if only they would press it)
but it does not matter to me in this case.

i must have listened to it 5 times in one night. pretty rare considering
all the records i have that i have not even heard all the way through once!

do give up on him...he keeps getting better.
he just needs the right band behind him.

Their new album is completed and should be out on Rephlex (UK) sometime
this summer, I believe. It's very groovy, continuing in the mellow
electronic sound of the first album but with some more discofied songs as
well.

Subject: (exotica) [news] MP3 players

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, 1999 APR 11 (NB) -- By Martyn Williams, Newsbytes.
     LG Electronics Co. Ltd. has announced a new range of MP3 digital audio
players that incorporate FM radio and magnetic tape players into the same
package. The company will begin selling the machines in Korea in late May
and plans international sales in the second half of this year.
     The three machines go under the name "MP Free" and include the
AHA-FD770, an MP3 player with combined portable mini cassette player and FM
radio tuner; the MF-FD350, an MP3 player with FM tuner; and the MF-PD350, an
MP3 player.
     Each model in the range comes with 32 megabytes of base memory - -
enough for around eight songs -- and can be expanded through the inclusion
of two MMC (multimedia card) slots.


LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1999 APR 12 (NB) -- By Sylvia Dennis,
Newsbytes.
     On the same day that IBM and RealNetworks announced they are working on
a secure music distribution system for the Internet, Creative Labs has taken
the wraps off its killer portable system for MP3 digital audio files, called
the Nomad.
     The Nomad breaks new ground for MP3 playback devices, Newsbytes notes,
since it not only plays back MP3 files downloaded across the Internet, but
also includes an FM stereo tuner and the ability to record the spoken word
at half-MP3 sampling rates.
     Coming in a magnesium solid state casing that tips the scales at just
2.5 ounces, the Nomad is available in two versions: 32 megabytes (MB) of
memory and 64MB of memory.
     At standard MP3 playback rates, this means the machines can support,
respectively, 60-minute and 120-minute playback times. When used in voice
recording mode, these recording times are doubled, Newsbytes notes.
     Like a portable minidisk player, the Nomad also features a liquid
crystal display (LCD) screen with scrolling text to view artist name and
song title. Power to the unit comes from two AAA-sized rechargeable
batteries that drive the system for up to 10 hours, Newsbytes notes.
     According to Creative Labs, it is shipping software (the Creative
Digital Audio Center) that allows the output of CDs from a PC's CD-ROM drive
to be converted into MP3 files for download to the Nomad personal music player.
     Hock Leow, Creative's vice president of multimedia, said that the
company goal is to continue leveraging its expertise to offer solutions for
portable digital audio and to make the experience accessible to consumers
worldwide.
     "As we move forward with future products, we intend to support all
popular formats for playing back Internet music and digital audio. Today
that format is MP3 and there is an abundance of support from Internet audio
and music enthusiasts," he said.
     The 64MB Nomad will sell through retail outlets in the US at $249.95
and comes complete with a hi-fi set of earphones, docking cradle (for
parallel port connection to a host PC), MP3 compilation CD, the Creative
Digital Audio Center software, and batteries.
     The 32MB version of the Nomad will sell through the company's Web site
at http://www.soundblaster.com for $169.95. Newsbytes notes that the 32MB
standard unit can be upgraded to 64MB using a plug-in memory card.
     Backing up the Nomad is a dedicated Web site called NomadWorld at
http://www.nomadworld.com . Creative says it plans to ship car adapters for
the Nomad, which is roughly the same size as a deck of cards -- about the
same size as a minidisk player, Newsbytes notes.

hey y'all.
i just gazed upon the countenance of a man named Bobby Conn and i was
mezmerized! (in the Multiball zine) he is doing supposedly doing some
strange music.
can anyone tell me something about this thing.

speaking of being transfixed. i watched a really cheesy biker flick last
nite called CC and Company (1970) starring Joe Namath and Ann-Margaret.
basically an Elvis movie.
to its credit it also starred William Smith, Sid Haig and Bruce Glover
(Crispin's Dad)
but one swinging funky scene is a concert scene of Wayne Cochran and the CC
Riders LIVE at the Flamingo Lounge in Vegas...i was blown away by this red
sequined jumpsuit wearin' bleach blonde
mullet haired from the hills freakazoid with wannabe james brown foot
moves, singing a high energy R+B tune...wow!
repleat with go go dancers, Ann-Margrock jamming out and rhythmless
Broadway Joe's boyish grin trying to keep up.
seemed abit like an american Heino.
if this i all i ever see of him i am truely satisfied.

Hey, Floyd...

I'm so PLEASED to hear of these upcoming releases.  I play "Forbidden
Sounds" regularly on The Retro Cocktail Hour.  When "Goes Latin"
comes out, would you be interested in doing a phone interview and
perhaps coordinating an on-air giveaway w/us here at The Retro
Cocktail Hour?

Always get a huge response to giveaways here--we feature your CD, put
it up on our website and the calls just pour in.  Did one with Cool
and Strange Music last weekend and got about 100 calls in 45 minutes.
Anyway, I'm interested if you guys are.  Thanks for the great
sounds!

Sound from the '60s, Volume 9 (Romulan 199?) Boot?

The now sounds of Singapore and Indonesia!  Two versions of the great
1966 hit , Hanky Panky one punked up in english and the other in
Chinese.  Sugar Town, Love Potion #9, Yummy Yummy, As Tears Go By,
Fever and a few other great songs I'm not familiar with.  This is a
rocking now sound collection!  Reasonably priced from medium rare
records.

This is much better then I thought it would be, the songs have an
originality and feeling that make this a great collection!

Does anyone know about the first 8 volumes?

Subject: (exotica) McCoy Tyner: from Bacharach to Latin

McCoy Tyner's latest release is:
Mccoy Tyner & Latin All Stars (Telarc)

As part of the promo, there's an interview with him at CDnow.com . Here's
just one of the Q/A's:


Q: The Latin All-Stars seems like an abrupt turn from your last recording,
the Bacharach album on Impulse!

A: I veer off and do stuff. I never do things just because somebody wants me
to do it. If I think it's a good idea, I do it -- and I wanted to do Burt's
music. I try to pick stuff that I really think would fit, so I could
rearrange it so that it would maintain its integrity, yet would be my song
too. Some people get offended if you step across the line and do something
different, not for the sake of money, but for the sake of doing something
different. I had never done anything with an orchestra quite that big. A lot
of people say, "Why'd you pick his music?" Well, I had my reasons. "A House
Is Not a Home" is one of my favorite songs, and "The Look of Love." Burt is
a real nice man, and what he's done in his genre will be here forever.

I haven't heard the record.  Maybe with Mr.Williams, they turn up the R&B
but otherwise they're basically known as a "country rock", mostly
instrumental band.
They're actually part of a "country music dynasty" in these parts.

This must be my day for hometown references.  I saw Wayne Cochrane at least
four times back in the seventies at the semi-legendary El Mocambo here.
It's a pretty small place and I wasn't much further from him than I am from
the keyboard right now.
We used to think of him as basically a James Brown wannabe but since there
was little or no chance we were going to get to see James - and certainly
not in a small club - we thanked our lucky stars.
He not only did the dance moves; he basically did the whole James Brown act
including that whole thing where he falls down and his bandmates try and
take him offstage but he comes back.
But he was great and it was probably the best "big band" I ever saw.
Nice memories.  Thanks.

Nat

Subject: (exotica) Random Thoughts

Having recently purchased a few Bobby Goldsboro albums, I have to ask:
Does anyone else find him kind of creepy? Does anyone know what became of
him?  I was very happy to rediscover the fabulous song "The Straight Life"
which I haven't heard in a very long time and had completely forgotten about.

Thank you to whoever praised Jack Jones, as I wouldn't have bought one of his
albums but now I can groove along to "The Letter" and "By The Time I Get To
Phoenix".

Anyone heard Pat Boone sing "Honey Hush"?  It's unbelievably bad. At least on
his metal album he swings a bit.

Love those low budget "discotheque" albums. I have yet to find one that
didn't have at least a few really swinging and/or totally wacky cuts.


Bob

hey,
any of you folks know if the "Music Minus One" series is still in print?
and/or where one can order them?

i recently found a great record from them called "Ultra-Drums" which
features nothing but 80's style drum patterns for you and your friends to
jam along with or record your high quality demo with. it's... cool/stupid.

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THIS RECORD AND MUNDELL LOWE!  OK, better yet, do,
because it's one of my ALL-TIME Favorite crime-jazz(well, B-film noir is
more fitting) OSTs!  Mundell Lowe, the briliant guitar player and arranger
behind TV ACTION JAZZ 1&2(where he does his takes on TV themes of the 50s)
wrote and arranged this album, and, as one of the players on it says in the
liner notes "This album is gonna turn some heads" (something like that!)
It's not a boot, either, it was released by the Collectibles label, which
tends to put out a lot of 50s music.  I cannot emphasize to you, Cheryl AND
EVERYBODY ON THIS LIST, what a NECCESITY this record is!  It swings, it
swaggers, it sins and it sings of all the trials and tribulations of being
a night-club stripper.  If you like records such as MIKE HAMMER and THE M
SQUAD, this East Coast record is as Hollywood as any other grind-house
jazz!  TAKE IT INTROVENIOUSLY!
The movie is really good, too, especially for a B-film...it ending sorta
rings of that "we ran out of money" thing, but it's entertaining and
sleazy!

Subject: (exotica) [obit] BoxCar Willie

    BRANSON, Mo. (AP) -- BoxCar Willie, whose gentle country voice and songs of
life on the road evoked memories of a time when hobos watched America pass
by from the door of a freight car, died Monday of leukemia. He was 67.
    He died at home, a family spokeswoman said.
    He had recently announced he was canceling his 1999 season of shows when
the disease, first diagnosed in 1996, returned.
    Until his health began to fail, he was not only a Branson performer but one
of the music town's elder statesmen.
    Roy Clark became the first nationally known entertainer to put his name on
a Branson theater in 1983. But BoxCar Willie liked to boast that unlike
Clark, who often booked other people into his venue, he became the first
name entertainer to work the town year-round when he arrived in 1987.
    He did six or more shows a week nine months of the year until his health
failed.
    He took it upon himself to mentor performers as they arrived in Branson,
telling them what worked and what didn't in a conservative, heartland town
of 3,700 residents and millions of tourists.
    And he fumed about performers who left Branson.
    ``There's been about 30, 35 artists that came into this town and then left
since I've been here,'' he said in 1996. ``They don't pay their taxes here,
they don't vote here. Doggone it, it just kind of bothers me. So when
somebody says they're leaving, I don't get all teary-eyed and panicky.''
    Born Lecil Martin in Sterrett, Texas, in 1931, BoxCar Willie was the son of
a railroad man who used to play his fiddle on the porch while his son sat in
on guitar.
    By his teens he had graduated to playing in jamborees all over the state,
but then he gave up show business to enlist in the Air Force. He spent 22
years there, logging some 10,000 hours as a flier.
    After retiring from the service he returned to performing, and by the 1970s
he had developed the singing hobo persona, complete with overalls, a
battered old hat, worn suit jacket and two days' growth of beard.
    Although he never had a hit single, his albums sold well over the years and
he built a loyal following that would later make him one of the most popular
performers in Branson, where he operated a motel and train museum as well as
his theater.
    He said he took the BoxCar Willie look, as well as the name, after seeing a
freight train pass him by one day in Lincoln, Neb., as he was stuck in traffic.
    ``And there was an old boy sitting on a boxcar, dressed the way I dress
today, and he looked just like a buddy of mine named Willie Wilson,'' he
told The Associated Press in 1997. ``I said, `There's Willie in a boxcar,
and that's where it came from.'''
    Although he had traveled by freight train as a young man himself, BoxCar
Willie said in that interview, he had long since given it up as America
changed and it became too dangerous.

    BRANSON, Mo. (AP) -- He adopted a hobo persona and won a national following
as he sang of life on the road. But BoxCar Willie found a home in Branson,
where he died after a long battle with leukemia.
    The 67-year-old singer died Monday evening, surrounded by his wife, two
daughters, two sisters and close friends, said Chisai Childs, a family
spokeswoman and friend of 31 years.
    BoxCar Willie was diagnosed with leukemia three years ago. After a brief
remission, the disease returned last year.
    Family friend Dick Ringler, who was with the entertainer when he died, said
BoxCar Willie knew he was losing the battle since being hospitalized for two
weeks in February, but never mentioned it.
    ``He told me how tired he was, and I had to help him get out of his chair,
which embarrassed him,'' Ringler said.
    Until his health began to fail, he had performed as many as six shows a
week at the BoxCar Willie Theatre in this Ozark mountain town that is home
to dozens of music theaters and scores of performers.
    But he was more than one of Branson's most famous performers. He was also
one of its most beloved. As a member of the Taney County Child Welfare Board
he raised thousands of dollars for needy children, Ms. Childs said, as well
as $40,000 a year for police programs to fight crime and drugs.
    ``BoxCar Willie is a friend to many of us and a good citizen of Branson,''
Mayor Lou Schaefer said, breaking down as he announced the entertainer's
death during a Board of Alderman meeting.
    He was devoted to singing and promoting old-fashioned country music,
including the sorrowful train songs for which he was best known.
    The mayor has ordered flags throughout this tourist town of 3,700 flown at
half-staff until the funeral, which Ms. Childs said would be Saturday or
Sunday.
