    On (or over?) the edge of my perception of the "exotica"
meta-genre. More like weird electronic psych/progrock - not unlike White
Noise - than Incredibly Strange Music, IMO. I only liked 5 out of the 13
tracks, especially because most of the others have vocals.

Subject: (exotica) "BankAmeriCard Music Box"

Here's a slightly odd one.

An A&M sampler album called "BankAmeriCard Music Box" (SP 19006).
BankAmeriCard was Visa in an earlier stage. Maybe a giveaway for new
accounts? Cover photo is an "1880 Swiss cylinder music box with bells" with
artwork of the artists added in the open lid.

The tracks (not in order):

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass:
My Heart Belongs To Daddy
Green Peppers
Brasilia
Bo-Bo

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66: Look Around
Wes Montgomery: Wind Song
The Sandpipers: Cancion de Amor (Wanderlove)
Jimmie Rodgers: The Lovers
Julius Wechter & The Baja Marimba Band: Fowl Play
Claudine Longet: It's Hard To Say Goodbye

All tracks seem to come from other albums, so no rarities, I guess. Photos
of everyone on the back.

From the fine print: "This recording employs the HAECO-CSG System and may
be played monaurally or stereophonically."

Subject: (exotica) That Lee Hazlewood article in full

    The return of Nancy's boy=20

    He inspired Phil Spector and
    propelled Nancy Sinatra to the top
    of the charts. Then Lee Hazlewood
    disappeared, opting for a quiet life
    in Sweden. Now, Courtney Love
    and Nick Cave are doing covers of
    his songs, and he's part of the
    Meltdown Festival at London's
    South Bank=20

    Sunday June 13, 1999=20

    New York crowds don't get much hipper
    than this. The women look either like a
    young Patti Smith or Marianne Faithfull
    circa Girl On A Motorcycle, the men like
    members of Television or Sonic Youth. In
    fact, some are members of Television or
    Sonic Youth. In the middle of it all,
    though, two grey-haired men stand
    huddled together conspiratorially,
    bizarrely, like ice sculptures brought in
    specially for the occasion. One looks
    down and swivels his wrist, coating the
    sides of his tumbler with a thin film of gold
    fluid. He is Lee Hazlewood, and the
    party's for him. 'I drink Scotch that's
    older'n mosta these people, for
    Chrissake,' he grins to himself. His
    veteran guitarist friend Al Casey, catching
    the thought, smiles back. 'I think you're
    about to be discovered, Lee,' he says.
    They both fall about laughing. Not bad for
    a 'redneck injun' who turns 70 next month.

    Hazlewood was one of the people who
    helped synthesise rock'n'roll from a
    mixture of country music and blues. He
    discovered Duane Eddy, inspired Phil
    Spector and Beach Boy genius Brian
    Wilson, supplied the previously
    untouchable Nancy Sinatra with 'These
    Boots Are Made For Walking' and turned
    her into the first Spice Girl. He went on to
    write and perform a sequence of timeless
    duets with her, among them the dark,
    ambiguous classic 'Some Velvet Morning',
    and to produce a series of obscure but
    brilliant solo albums that collectors pay
    anything up to =A3100 a pop for. Along the
    way, he released the first country rock
    record by the totemic Gram Parsons, who
    ended up changing the course of pop
    music with The Byrds. During the late
    Sixties and early Seventies, there was no
    more respected writer or producer, and his
    songs have been sung by artists as
    diverse as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra,
    Dean Martin, Petula Clark, Dusty
    Springfield, Einsturzende Neubaten, Lisa
    Germano, Lydia Lunch, The Jesus and
    Mary Chain, Nick Cave, Courtney Love
    and Billy Ray Cyrus, whose neutered
    cover of 'Boots' earned its author $1
    million on its own a few years back.=20

    Then, at the height of his success,
    Hazlewood packed up and ran away to
    Sweden. For most of the intervening
    period, the singer/writer/producer has
    been on the move, refusing to sanction
    the re-release of his records and shunning
    celebrity for reasons which were anything
    but clear. Why did he disappear? One
    account has Frank Sinatra running him
    out of town after Nancy and he, the
    Dionysian, inveterate hell-raiser, grew too
    close for Old Blue Eye's liking. Another
    blames unwisely accrued gambling debts.

    Despite Hazlewood's enduring cult status,
    the truth has been hard to come by. But
    with some of the back catalogue now
    becoming widely available for the first
    time, and an appearance at Nick Cave's
    Meltdown Festival on London's South
    Bank accompanying first screenings of
    several of his films next week, a full
    account of one of pop's most idiosyncratic
    careers is becoming possible.=20

    The day after his party, Hazlewood is to
    be found in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt
    hotel in Manhattan. He's easy to spot:
    while others bustle around in suits, he
    slumps in a chair, wearing jeans and a
    shapeless sweatshirt. For some reason,
    he carries three large bottles of Pepsi,
    and when you meet him, there are no
    niceties, just a narrowing of the eyes to
    indicate that he knows you're there. His
    face is remarkably unlined, and when he
    speaks, the familiarity of that gruff
    Southern twang takes you aback.=20

    His story is that of 20th-century America.
    Born in Oklahoma in July 1929, three
    months short of the great stock market
    crash, he came from a family that was a
    mix of highly educated lawyers, Texan
    ranchers and Creek Indians. Relocated to
    Texas, his father broke with tradition and
    became an oil man who dabbled in
    promoting country music concerts.
    Success enabled his only son to study
    medicine at Southern Methodist
    University, though he dropped out after
    being conscripted to the army and sent to
    Korea ('What did I learn? To run and cry').
    He trained in broadcasting, became a
    successful DJ, and began to write songs.
    Too cussed and weird for all the major
    publishing and record companies, he set
    about producing his own music. He had a
    hit with a song called 'The Fool', which
    was later covered by Elvis; found Duane
    Eddy and made his low-slung guitar
    sound like artillery fire, thanks to a
    primitive echo chamber comprising a $200
    grain elevator with a speaker and
    microphone in it, a defining moment in the
    evolution of rock'n'roll; and provided early
    inspiration for Phil Spector's trademark
    'wall of sound', discovering most of the
    musicians who would become that
    celebrated producer's famous 'wrecking
    crew' and provide backing for the Beach
    Boys' landmark Pet Sounds album.=20

    By the age of 35, he had made enough
    money to retire and, depressed by the
    'British invasion' of the mid-Sixties, did so.
    'You picked up the charts, looked at the
    Top 20 and it was all English stuff,' he
    explained recently. 'The only ones I liked
    out of the whole group was the Stones.
    The Beatles were all wussies. So I said, "I
    am not going to fight this." Anyway, by
    then I could afford not to.'=20

    For months, he sat watching the bugs in
    his pool, drinking his beloved Chivas
    Regal and strumming his guitar, living off
    publishing royalties. Sometimes, he would
    be joined by his neighbour Jimmy Bowen,
    who ran the singles department at Frank
    Sinatra's Reprise Records label. Bowen's
    big problem at that time was what to do
    with the boss's daughter, whose
    candyfloss records nobody wanted. He
    badgered Hazlewood to have a go with her
    and eventually succeeded. The first effort,
    'So Long, Babe', charted, and a second
    collaboration was lined up. Hazlewood
    had a specific song in mind and Nancy
    Sinatra liked it, but then she heard 'Boots'
    and fell in love with it. Despite his
    protestations that 'you don't understand
    the lyrics and, if you did, you would know
    that it is dirty, that "messing", in East
    Texas, is the term for fucking...', her mind
    was set. Eventually, he relented, and by
    the time it came to recording, he was
    telling her, 'Goddam it! I want you to sing
    this like you're a 16-year-old girl who goes
    out with 45-year-old truck drivers!' She did,
    and the song became his first number one
    hit.

    Hazlewood refuses to take full credit for
    Nancy. 'She did that herself, with those
    little mini skirts and those big boots which
    you wouldn't mind her walking all over you
    in cos she was so small,' he says. 'Each
    time I'd see her, she'd be a little more like
    that. Nancy knew what to do. She's
    campy and all that stuff now, but she's
    always been smart.'=20

    Between 1966 and 1969, he wrote and
    produced the better part of nine albums for
    Sinatra, including a number of hit singles.
    What few people noticed at the time was
    that many of them were as loaded as
    anything Lou Reed and the Velvet
    Underground were touting. The
    superficially saccharine 'Sugar Town',
    which made number five in the US chart,
    was derided by a New York Times critic
    as containing 'the worst pop lyric in 30
    years'. Word-obsessed Hazlewood still
    bristles at this. 'He had no idea how hard I
    worked to make that so dumb, so
    ignorant, so lackadaisical.' The writer had
    been mesmerised by the sight of a kid
    dropping some acid on a sugarcube in a
    club one night, and commented, 'There
    must be a place you go on sump'em like
    that - there must be a sugar town.'
    Younger listeners knew it was a drug
    song, but few will have appreciated the
    depth of its ambiguity.=20

    The same is also true of the duets, a
    Hazlewood speciality which had begun
    with his girlfriend Suzi Jane Hokom and
    carried on later in Sweden with Nina
    Lizell. Were the protagonists of 'Some
    Velvet Morning' and 'Lady Bird' dancing
    round the flame of drink, drugs or sex?
    The only thing we know is that Hazlewood
    and his partners invariably sound as
    though they have either just finished
    making love or are just about to start.
    Hazlewood laughs at this, while admitting
    the illicit lure of what he calls his 'beauty
    and the beast' songs, which are 'not
    vanilla, like Sonny and Cher'.=20

    'But there's humour in 'em, too,' says
    Hazelwood. 'A lot of people say my songs
    have sexual things in 'em, but they only
    have sexual things in 'em if you've got
    sexual things on yer mind. I think we
    enjoy people who've been lucky in life, but
    I think we also secretly enjoy the
    unluckiness of others. That's the dark
    side, and you might as well accept it and
    embrace it.' If Lee Hazlewood is anything,
    he's the American Jacques Brel. He's the
    point at which old-style pop craftsmanship
    collides with Sixties counter-culture.=20

    The rumours of an affair, and the fall-out
    with Frank, are denied by both parties.
    Hazlewood maintains he went to Sweden
    because he wanted to involve himself in
    TV and film and couldn't do that in LA. It
    could also be that he was finding it harder
    to impose his will on the new breed of
    artist he was encountering by 1969. At
    that time, he was seeing Suzi Jane
    Hokom, who produced Gram Parsons and
    his International Submarine Band for
    Hazlewood's LHI label. The two men got
    on very badly. Ask why, and Hazlewood
    mimes injecting his arm with a
    hypodermic syringe. 'All the time. You
    couldn't talk to him,' he grimaces. Tracked
    down by Mojo magazine, however, Hokom
    told a different story.=20

    'Lee was an amazing writer,' Hokom says.
    'He's sitting there with his Scotch, and
    these things would just come out of him.
    He was a very complex guy. There's a
    part of Lee that's just out there, but there's
    still the guy from Oklahoma, the
    wildcatter's son. Lee and Gram had such
    problems; Lee was older, and his ego just
    kinda got in the way. I think he was
    jealous. He could not stand all the
    attention I was lavishing on these guys
    who were more of my generation.'=20

    Whatever the reason, Hazlewood travelled
    to Sweden. According to his film director
    friend Torbj=9Arn Axelman, the singer was
    actually on his way to Moscow, but
    stopped for a couple of days and ended
    up staying. Hokom remained behind and
    took up with country rocker Doug Dillard.=20

    'Next thing I knew, Lee sent me an album
    called Requiem For An Almost Lady,
    which was brutally honest about our
    relationship. He said, "This is the way I
    feel," and I went, "Well, too bad! You blew
    it."'=20

    Mention any of this to Hazlewood, and his
    face grows stormy, to the point where you
    wonder how much damage a 70-year-old
    man could do with a plastic Pepsi bottle.
    Today, he maintains that the skewed,
    heartbroken balladry on Requiem rose
    from the ashes of three different
    relationships, though he won't tell you
    which ones. He'd released a pair of quirky
    solo albums in the early Sixties on
    Reprise, a proto-concept album about the
    characters in a small Texan town, titled
    Trouble Is A Lonesome Town, and a
    sequel entitled The Not So Very Important
    People. But during the first few years of
    his five-year spell in Sweden, he was
    prolific, making albums, films and TV
    specials with Axelman, including the
    famous but seldom seen Nancy And Lee
    In Las Vegas, where Sinatra seems
    disoriented and drained, the little girl
    struggling to fill a big stage (Axelman
    suggests that she was also thrown by the
    absence of her father, whom 'the Italian
    guys' had banned from Vegas after he
    threw a photographer through a
    plate-glass window). This, along with the
    riotously funny Cowboy In Sweden TV
    special, in which the moustachioed
    Hazlewood looks as much of a cowboy as
    Peter Mandelson does, will be screened
    at Meltdown at South Bank on 26 June.=20

    The quality of the albums Hazlewood
    produced at this time is extraordinary.
    Duets with Nina Lizell, such as the wistful
    'Leather And Lace' and 'Hey Cowboy' were
    as charged and mischievous as ever ('We
    didn't want to speak about it so much, but
    maybe there was a little love story,' Lizell
    purrs over a phoneline from Sweden), but
    his oeuvre was expanding still. 'No Train
    To Stockholm', for instance, was a gently
    drifting and understated anti-war song, the
    last thing anyone expected from Lee
    Hazlewood. He has been married twice,
    the first time to his high-school
    sweetheart Naomi Shackleford, with
    whom he had two children, Debra and
    Mark. In 1970, Mark was 15, approaching
    draft age.=20

    'Vietnam kept going and going, and it
    worried me. So I pulled his butt to
    Stockholm. I said, "He's not going to that
    war, cos I went to one and I didn't enjoy
    it." We didn't have any business there,
    and I don't have any war stories, except
    that I'm alive. Because of my
    Southernness, everybody imagined in
    those days that I was a good ol' boy
    redneck, right-wing, when I was always a
    little left of Chairman Mao.'=20

    Hazelwood clearly likes children and talks
    animatedly about being a father and a
    grandfather. By his account, he 'took the
    Eighties off' to raise his third child,
    Samantha, now 19, having felt that he
    wasn't at home enough for the first two.
    After Sweden, however, he never settled
    for long in one place, spending time near
    Malaga, in Helsinki, Paris, London and
    the place where his career began in
    earnest, Phoenix. He now lives in Orlando
    with Jeannie, a former military
    policewoman, still writes a bit, and seems
    to have found peace. Perhaps this is why
    Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, a
    Hazlewood collector of 15 years' standing,
    found him receptive to the idea of giving
    the back catalogue a belated general
    release.=20

    'It's easy to misunderstand Lee,' he says.
    'Everyone talks about the dark side, and
    there are all these undercurrents going on,
    but the way they're presented is quite
    innocent. After his time, things got a bit
    blatant, and I think one of the reasons his
    stuff has lasted is because the songs still
    have a sense of mystery about them.
    They're open to interpretation and can still
    seem moving and relevant. Not many
    people write like that any more.' =B9

    =95 'Cowboy In Sweden' is available on
    Smells Like Records. 'Trouble Is A
    Lonesome Town' and 'Requiem For An
    Almost Lady' are due out on 13
    September, and 'The N.S.V.I.P.' in the
    new year. Lee Hazlewood plays the Royal
    Festival Hall on 28 June=20

Ach, I wouldn't want to try to steal the show. And the dress I had on I

Okay, I've searched the 1999 list archives and couldn't find it, so I'll

Someone on here had something to say about the Monterey Brass not too long

Jane Fondle, not looking "hip" according to that writer!

Subject: (exotica) Tune In,Tune Out by Benny Golson

Picked up reissued on CD,
Tune In,Tune Out to the Hippest Commercials of the Sixties by Benny Golson.

Music from commercials arranged by Jazz saxophonist and composer of "I
Remember Clifford".  Recorded in 1967.

Ever since I saw the cover art on Vic's web page
http://www.chaoskitty.com/sabpm/artists.html
 I've been interested in what the album sounded like and am happy to say it
has that production music/ psysho happy/ 60's/zoom zoom za za/ almost jazz
feeling I've been trying to put my finger on.....

I keep on looking at the label, I can't believe it's on Verve. The same
label with all those greats, Louie, Ella and Billie et all.

If anyone has this can they confirm that track 4 (No Matter What Shape (Your
Stomach's In)) is in rough shape? Like there is something wrong with the
original tape of the CD mastering?

Wonder if this got reissued on CD because it was on the original SABPM page?
Or was it just next in line.

From http://www.crl.com/~tsimon/yuro.htm :

Rumors began to circulate in early 1999 that Timi had died, but the rumors
were false. Timi Yuro is alive and well. She has lived in Las Vegas for
many years.

Dom, Jane is getting fashion advice on another list that she is on.  The lady is
telling Jane that she & Astroslut should start wearing tight T-shirts.    Of coarse the
lady giving Jane this fashion tip lived some time in New Orleans.   In New Orleans your
glasses always steam up, just from the humidity alone!  I agree that neither Jill or
Jane need any fashion advice.

The whole festival is cancelled, financial problems.
It┤s not fair that the cowboy can┤t come back home to
Sweden, and get drunk at the Grand Garbo, Sundbyberg
again.
We are sitting here moping and having a "gravebeer"
over it. Drinking "kaffekask" an old swedish special
recipie when you feel depresed, as we often do here in
the "grim" north.

hi all!!!
good news: after sending a jpg copy of the license I had from Film Music
Art Studio, mp3.com published the Alessandro Alessandroni tracks I had put
on their server... so, fors now you can go to
http://www.mp3.com/alessandroni and download 2 free tracks (one is
Morricone's A Fistful of dollars, the other is the Love theme from Sinbad e
il Califfo di Bagdad). More free stuff plus the DAM CD  album on sale soon.
Currently the two tracks (after only one day on the server) are placed at
no.10 and no.29 of mp3.com's Lounge chart.
I would appreciate a lot any comments on those tracks. :)

bye,

When it comes to poetry over music, the place to go is Rod McKuen.  Yeah,
yeah, I can hear the groans. Or maybe not.  Maybe this list is the place
Rod would get his "props".
Rod had a number of records under his own name alone which featured poetry
- - or his unique brand of "spoken words" if you prefer - over music but my
favourites are the Sea, Earth, etc records he made with Anita Kerr.
The music on those records pretty well covered the bases from fake
orchestral to groovy little tunes but there's an emphasis on the almost
"cinematic" sweeping string orchestrations.
I think I know why jazz has so often been read over "jazz" and once upon a
time it would have thrilled me to see a poet read over a cool combo.  But
at this point, IF I were to attend a poetry reading, it would totally make
my day to have my expectations shattered and suddenly hear a little exotica
bubbling under the surface.
I think it's time for birdcalls and poetry to walk hand-in-hand.  There
used to be a Canadian "poetry collective" called The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse or something like that.  They just made sounds, no words.  Four
of them up there grunting and making up fake words.   There was a name for
that.  "Concrete poetry"?
I think one of them exclusively did birdcalls.  Of course, since they were
Canadian, he mostly imitated the call of the loon rather than the more
exotic birds we're all familiar with on this list.
If you really get into this, I have a record "The Call of the Wild Loon"
that I probably could tape for you.
