Sorry for the space taken, but does anyone know the email whereabouts of
Fabrice Couillerot in France?  He bought an LP from me many months back, and
it was presumed lost...it just showed up on my door today, and I want to
give him the good news!  Thanks for any help.

 >Whenever family came over from Holland, I was always waiting for them to
produce a bag of Dropjes and some Mentos for me. These small pleasures came
at a high price, as invariably they were accompanied by ill-fitting, hand
knotted sweaters from a distant "Tante" whom I had never met. One well
meaning relation sent Dutch swimwear for me - I was 9 or 10 years old, and
LIVED at the neighborhood pool. I was forced to wear the stretchy, brief
nuthuggers untill the visit was over. One of them even had an elastic belt
with metal buckle. I'm not even sure they were for boys.I think I still
carry mental scars. (and possibly a lowered sperm-count)


These nuthuggers were specially designed to accommodate the shrinkage,
thus providing a tight fit and a seamless streamline in the water,
it's swimwear for swimming, you know, and not particularly suited to
parade your jewelry.

Anybody ever been to an underwater disco? Wonder what that sounds like.
There actually seems to be such a thing as a professional underwater
musician, I saw a clip once of a school of snorkeling Elvises.

Heard a version this morning of Da-doo-ron-ron by Anny Palmen Ivanhoe,
a woman dressed in Ivanhoe suit wielding a plastic sword, member of a
gathering of Dutch weirdo's called Het Kabinet, also including a guy
who sings faster than his band. Any Dutch fellow lister knows more?

Subject: (exotica) Age Thing

For what it's worth, I'm 29 and for some reason I love music from the
70's.  Basically, almost anything that appeared in the narrow band of
68 to 73 seems fantastic.  Which is weird cuz I know my parents never
listened to King Crimson or Yes or Sly and the Family Stone or Can or
any of that stuff.  But I love pop from that era as well, which they
did listen to.
Also, funk, TV themes, and the like.
As for cars, I drive an old reliable beat up Hyundai Excel, but I
eyeball all those great Starsky and Hutch style Mustangs and Torinos
and Toranados and El Caminos and all that stuff.  (Obvisouly not close
enough to get the names right though, eh?) Even big long Buicks with
that high-backed style.
Maybe someday.

Peter

"Deep Percussion" was issued as "Happy Percussion" in the UK.

There are two Studio Two albums, "Swinging Percussion" (TWO 127) and
"Percussion in Colour" (TWO 203) by Frank Barber, but I haven't heard
either of them.

For more info, see:

http://home.earthlink.net/~spaceagepop/barber.htm

(NB the info on this page is wrong; "Happy Percussion" was not issued
on Studio Two, it was a Polydor album).

Gorgeous items. Cancer fertilizer. Much more exotic
than the spam, potted Vienna sausages, Tang and
Scrapple (a pale pastiche of various  meats, gristles,
growths and skins from the slaughterhouse floor. A
southern thing, I suppose. I gave it up after my high
school buddy, stoned, said through a mouthful of this
greasy, gray flesh: "Man, this is the best scrapple I
ever had. They must've used extra scrotum") I used

There was some sort of a Spring Bock out when I was

oyster shucker. Missed Dutch flavored beers, but
smuggled back lambics and krieks from BG. Miss those
now, too.

Listing CD burns on eBay:

I personally don't have any qualms about providing digital access to
stuff that record companies are too lazy, cheap or unorganized to
re-release.  But I'd rather see them traded among affecianados than
sold for cold cash, you know?  Plus, you can still slightly cover yer
ass with the "home-taping" idea.

But more importantly, I've seen folks lose their eBay privileges buy
selling stuff like that if people turn them in.  So, post at your own
risk.

Laura (Jane) and Drew visited me and a male roomate (where was my wife???) at

I pulled THE SWEET RIDE soundtrack from the shelf and showed it to them.

They handled it roughly, tearing the jacket at the seams as they pulled the

They handed it back to me.

Subject: (exotica) Newton vs. Orlando

    SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) -- The feud between singers Wayne Newton and Tony
Orlando has hit another sour note.
    Last year, the performers shared what was then the Talk of the T.O.W.N.
Theatre until Newton, whose company leased the building, allegedly locked
Orlando out, saying Orlando owed him more than $2 million.
    In April, Orlando sued Newton in federal court, claiming the lockout cost
him $125,000 from 11 canceled shows last year, and millions more in
projected earnings over the next two seasons.
    Newton countersued on Monday, seeking more than $20 million in damages. His
suit disputes Orlando's account, and accuses him of spreading false claims
in the news media.
    The countersuit also accuses Orlando of providing false information that
led to their professional relationship, including the average number of
tickets he sold during the prior season, and claims of how many people he
could draw to the theater.
    Before the breakup, the two said they had been friends more than 30 years.

The latter a reissue of the original disc with bonustracks and accompanying

To the Lovely Laura,

About John Pizzarelli.
Maybe he just sounds really schlocky on the new Beatles disk? Haven't heard
it. Its easy to get schloky covering Beatles tunes. I had a bad feeling when
I heard he came out with this.

Have you heard anything else by him?

Wifey and I like him a lot and we have bunches of his disks.
Some of my favorites:
Dear Mr. Cole  (Nat King covers)
New Standards  (I have this here at work and am listening to it now!)
My Blue Heaven (I think this is the Chesky disk, swings nicely)

As for his voice, maybe its not the greatest, but its not what you have but
how you use it. :') He sings ballads with sensitivity and the bouncy numbers
with enthusiasm.

He's also a very funny entertainer. When I saw him at Scullers he did a long
version of a song off his first album: "I Like Jersey Best"  where he did
imitations of Bruce Springfield, Billie Holliday and Bob Dyan. I laughed so
hard I began crying.
You can see him in the Mohegan Suns casino commercial that is airing in the
Boston area. Sounded like a song somebody wrote for the commercial. It was
nice seeing him on TV, but the whole commercial thing, singing about how
much fun casinos are turned my stomach...so maybe he's on the downslide.

Hope I haven't disappointed you Laura. I'll make it up to you and put you in
my dreams tonight!  ;')

Lost in suburbia..

Domenic

For the (commercial) DJ's of the world, there also exists a Glenn Miller
Megamix played live by the Frank Barber Orchestra circa '88. It came out on a
12" 33 RPM-er

>>>I must admit ignorance to his career.  But he and others like him STRIKE
TO THE HEART of a pet peeve of mine...and that is MODERN-DAY(i-e
post-back-in-the-day) vocalists who try...and miserably fail...to sing
standards and/or jazz.  I mean, I ain't no fan of Carly Simon, but I admit
she has a fine voice.  However, she can't sing standards, even though she
tries...same with any other washed-up also-ran, trying to revive their
careers by singing standards.  An easy way out...but difficult to
accomplish!  The only person I give props to for a good job on modern-takes
on standards is Bobby Caldwell , and that's because he sounds like Frank
Sinatra anyway...So, while this Pizarelli might be funny, and while yes the
backings on that song did swing...HE CAN'T sing!  And that's my problem
with him...you don't got no bidneth singing jazz, if you can't sing jazz...

Prenuptual Agreement between Maggy and Jane Fondle
paragraph 1:  All property which belongs to each of the above parties =
shall be, and shall forever remain, their personal estate, including all =
interest, rents, and profits which may accrue from said property, and =
said property shall remain forever free of claim by the other. The =
parties must understand that if by a chance one part messes up BasicHips =

automatically becomes the property of the other part.

So Jane, are we together again?

Hello,
  I've got a copy of Dean "Tex" Martin's Country lp that is scratched to
hell. Any ideas on what can be done to help it or does it belong to the
ages?

Thanks for your input

Laura,

I'll have to keep an eye out for some Bobby Caldwell. Don't know him.

John Pizarelli knows he does not have the greatest voice, his strength is in
his playing. But the way I look at it, he is continuing the tradition and
building on it. Good for him!

Anyone interested in more about John Pizzarelli I found a web page:
http://www.citycabaret.com/pizzarelli.html

There is a JP quote of a quote by Sinatra that's not too different than
Laura's previous post!

I was born in 69, turned 30 last month (go mingo-go, i had a retro

shaving
it all off) ...


It may be late but my mails been haywire.....

I myself am queuing up for 40 this December (another 1959er)....  I
prefer the mid sixties pop stuff and 70's go-go music so for me I think
its definitely absorbing it all as I grew up.  Nostalgia.  possibly.
but even if I've never heard it before?

Subject: (exotica) head cheese

I think two mentions of head cheese this month is quite enough.  I
didn't think I was so squeamish.

Also, I forgot to sign my last e-mail about Robs lost hair and my
approaching birthday.  As for the first record I owned I don't remember
(but it did have lovely 'paint spatter' vinyl)  The first I bought for
myself was Desmond Dekkars the Israelites at the age of 10.  I've always
been proud of the fact, even though the record is long gone.  I think
that was the first time I came across racist attitudes to music,  I
couldn't comprehend it at the time,  and I Still don't.

'Why you playing that nigger music?'  pshaw.  from someone I thought at
the time was my best friend,  I even had the sense then to drop the
ignorant bastard.

Is that it?  Is the whole of my life written in the soundtrack?  Small
vignettes triggered by the recollection of a song.  That one still
smarts thirty years on.  Powerful stuff.

That's put me in a right mood.
