I've been looking for this bloody impossible to find soundtrack on CD for
over 6 months now for my Mother. Its her birthday on June 18th. Is there
anybody on the list that owns a copy and would be kind enough to do a CDR
or minidisk copy before then?

I would be eternally grateful and will pay whatever is necessary.




Thanks very much,




Charlie

A friend of mine just got a shirt for his birthday that had Hawaiian
cocktails all over it: Kahiki-style Tiki mugs and various styled martini
glasses with teeny parasols. REALLY impressive. (shirt apparently
originated at a Kaufmann's dept. store, but apparently not every
Kaufmann's carries it)

I've also seen some downright AMAZING (although Tiki-less)
Hawaiian-themed silk boxer shorts at discount chains like Value City and
T.J. Maxx.

I wish the world would mourn Mel half as much as it did Frank.  In my
record collection world, he's a hell of a lot more important.
Go out and find a copy of "Coming Home Baby", the record he did with Claus
Ogerman.  And if you want cool sixties covers which elevate the tunes
rather than making them into jokes, find "A Time for Us" or "Raindrops..."
I never much went for his recent Concorde records so it's not like I'll
miss his new records but still it's sad.

Glad Vic Damone is still around.  Who's going to eulogize him though?
Steve Lawrence I guess.

Greetings, list!  I am just back from my fab-u-lash NY and Philly vacation!
If EVER you are in NY, PLEASE go to the most happening Vampyros Lesbos
night(which is just being started up in Philly, too, with DJ Franco and his
twisting,go-go-dancing, wearing-almost-nuthin' babes)!  Great Euro-sleaze
b-movie music, girls in cages, Jess Franco, Roger Vadim and the like films
plastered on screens, too much!  I heard a song there that I am wondering
who did it...it was a French babe singing, in her native tongue, "These
Boots Were Made For Walkin'", but the backings sounded like the original
Nancy single...She sounded like Bardot!
Also, DO pick up the Franco NYMPHOMANIA comps...I got Vol 1 and I hear tell
that Vol 2 is everybit as outstanding!  If you like any thang on Crippled
Dick, THIS is for you!  You can also get it online at Othermusic.com!

do you know the label?
i recently came from italy and i found amazing stuff, most
of which has being reissued in cd format. you should check out at least s=
ome
of the
easy tempo series (1 to 9, i think), coming out in the easy tempo/right
tempo stuff.
plastic records is remarkable in terms of graphic design and conceptual
coherence.
the two stroboscopia compilations are great, the phase 6 stuff is amazing=
,
as wel as
the i gres compilation. some of the OST (like "milano violenta") are also
worth checking
out
irma records put together some amazing stuff in the mo=B4plen series (mo=B4=
plen
1000,
2000, 3000)
but my favorite is schema, a label based in prato, toscana, near florence.
they have
two re-issues of the cabildos, something like fake latin-lounge-funk of t=
he
early
seventies, really cool. there=B4s also the two Up! compilations, instrume=
ntal
psychedelic
funk, some naive, some bossa novish, some latinesque.. also check out the
scoctopus
stuff...
there=B4s also a new label, soultrade, which put out the two Aperitivo
compilations
finally, the Stone label, even if not editing italian music, has a great
sense
of putting amazing stuff together. the jazz a-go go and the haschisch par=

compilations
of the mood mosaic series are really something

thanks, I know the cover, I know your homepage, I have a tape of the album, I
could even burn me a CD, it's just this collector's greed that makes me want
to own it, a hole in the marvelous mosaic of my Martin Denny collection that

> Which exotica Mack Daddy is tied directly to Mel Torme?

As you probably know, Les Baxter was a member of Mel Torme's
Mel-Tones for a time.  There are some recent CD reissues of
Mel-Tones material from the '40s.  "There's No One But You" has a pic
of the Tones on the cover, including a VERY young-looking Les Baxter.
Sadly, only about half the tunes ont he CD actually feature the
Mel-Tones(!).  The rest are Mel solo.

Another good one to pick up (so far, no CD reissue so you'd have to
seek it out on vinyl, most recent issue in the '70s on Discovery)
is Mel's "California Suite", which features the Mel-Tones (including
Les Baxter) throughout.  A track from "California Suite" is included
in our Retro Cocktail Hour tribute to Les Baxter -- hear it in
RealAudio at the website, program #169.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Re: havaiian shites

When I'm flush, I buy my man Hawaiian shirts. There's a great store here in
Austin whose owner claims to have shirts available nowhere else on the
Mainland -- visit Atomic City if SXSW or a BBQ quest brings you to Central
Texas. Sizes run from S - XXL, with a good selection in each size.

These shirts are pricey -- $60 and up for rayon and $80 and up for silk --
but worth it. Damn, they are gorgeous! And Ben, have seen some with tikis
as well as Hawaiian cocktails, the sea or its fishes, island maps, dragons,
etc. The labels include Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Traditions for repros of
vintage patterns, Diamond Head Sportswear, and Joe Kealuha's. My honey's
Joe Kealuha looks to be a vintage repro with Cuban designs: cigars ad cigar
bands, pink Spanish colonial hotels, Panama hats, and the words "mambo" and
"Havana" in Deco-era type.

One of my favorite vintage dresses is a little Hawaiian number with
Japanese scrolls, unfurled, black characters on white with glittery gold
seals on a turquoise background, a full skirt swirling out from a gathered
bustier. Very 1959. I wear it with a turquoise pillbox hat..., elegant!
List women, what Hawaiian treasures lurk in your closets?

Gentlemen, wear your Hawaiian shirts with pride and know women like me
think you look sexy and intriguing.

Aloha, Mimi

I always thought this was sorta crazy.  I mean a judge keeping a picture of

Now it does not seem so crazy.  I have an autographed picture from Martin
Denny in my office.  One of the national optometry journals did an article on
me and my office last month and they took pictures.

One of the pictures is of me at my computer and you can see the picture of
Martin in the background.  A fellow optometrist friend of mine saw the
article and the picture and emailed me asking why I had a picture of W. C.

If I followed my heart on this one I'd soon be the
nattiest most eligible nuevo-bachelor in Uncle Sam's
queso line (assuming, of course, I was the only one in
line or all others had been passengers on the same
burning bus). I want them all: tikis havanas fish (any
with mermaids and octopi? native raiding parties on
surfboards? please don't answer that....).

Back to the blue lights, browsing the Jethro Clampett
Luau Line ... sigh.

Any opinions on these finds?

Elizabeth Taylor
Soundtrack to a TV show she did in London, on Colpix records
Liz does dramatic monoluges to background music. So horrible it's
delightful.

"Swinger's Holiday"- Vic Schoen. Never heard of the guy, now I want more.

"'Round Midnight"  Julie London. $1, 'nuff said.

PS. Can anyone recommend Henry Rene~'s better lps?

Thanks Heaps

Should I have been as disappointed as I felt??

Subject: (exotica) vladimir estragon

Found a CD at a Salvation Army on my lunchbreak "Three
Quarks for Muster Mark, by (what I assume is) a German
band called Vladimir Estragon (Tip Toe records,
Muenchen, 1989).

This struck me in the eye for 2 reasons: 1: long time
Sam Beckett fan. 2: Dirt cheap.

Most of the titles are titles of SB plays or reference
them (Das Letzte Band, The Warten, Lucky, Pozzo,
etc.); one Robert Schumann cover. I've only sampled it
on the cranky in-car player, but what I've heard so
far leads me to believe I am going to like it: some
noirish minimalist jazz pieces, electronics and
sampling mixed in with brass, some vocals. Anyone have
any information on this band (ie: other releases, band
history, ...)?

The line-up, incidentally is

Phil Menton (who looks old enough to have worked with
SB): Vocals - Trumpet
Ulrike Haage: Sequencer Program; Muta-Soundsamples;
keyboards; Fluege (flugel horn? Hilf mir...)
FM Einheit: Metal, electronics, stones and uhm,
Schrank und Schlagzeug... ich habe kein idee
Alfred23Harth: Tenor Sax,Clarinet, Bass clarinet.

It depends on who issued it.  I want the originals and TVT records was in=
 the 60 to 70% range sometimes.  If it is a collection of stuff by the same=
 composer with he/she play it/that, I feel better/assuaged.

For any who are curious, I have found a couple of
spare references to VE on the WWW, and this is what I
have come up with:

"Alfred Harth plays clarinets since 1961 & saxophones
since 1964, bandleader since 1966, composer of
theatremusic since 1979, composer of filmmusic since
1981. First lp in 1969.

Schoolteacher for arts 1975-78. Installations,
drawings, performances, photos, videos, paintings etc.
from 1953 on." -
http://www.arcananet.org/composers/AlfredHarth/index.html.
He def. does not look that old.

John Menton is described as a "british improv singer"

Ulrike Haage does time in an outfit called The
Rainbirds.

FM Einheit is/was with Einsturzende Neubaten (explains
why he's on metal, stones and sand, I guess). I should
have caught this one. His band mate, Blixa Bargeld, is
also in The Bad Seeds whose Mick Harvey is releasing
his covers of serge Gainsbourg songs. Which yeans
another question - anyone heard these? Recommend? For
what it's worth, I think Harvey's recent SG tribute is
called Pink Elephants.

sorry if all this stuff is common
knowledge/impertinent to most y'all

Well that's a classic for some.  It even demands collector's prices
somewhere.  All for a few spoken-word intros by the great jazz poet Ken
Nordine, doing his day job.

I beg to differ - I have the cd reissue and I think it contains some fine

Here's a link to a rather interesting Ny Times aticle on how "electronica" has
infiltrated modern TV commercials.   I wonder if TVT records is taking notice for a
future compilation.

Ben is quite right BOTH Denny and Zentner  and their respective ensembles play
together. From the liner notes:
"The result is a suite containing musical elements in which each group's sound
and style complement the other perfectly."
Well, if you call Zentner's horns a prefect complement to Denny's quieter
percussion ensemble...still it actually does blend better than ones
imagination would think.
