Admittedly ludicrous, as well as disparaging, but you don't need to go
getting nasty about it.  It's just my silly opinion, it was meant more to
amuse then to be a serious critical analysis of anything.  I was just using
hyperbole to add a bit of zest and color to what I had to say.

My words regarding the music of Dimitri were not intended as a personal
criticism of you. I just don't much like the musical compositions in
question.  There are many Electronica artists that I do like: Tipsy, DJ
Shadow, DJ Cam, ColdCut, Stereolab, Chemical Brothers, Tortious, to name a
few.

So tell me Ashley, what is the "correct" opinion to have of the music of
Dimitri?

What is the proper tone that I should use when mentioning Dimitri?

Is it OK for me to like the artist that I mentioned above?

Where should I buy my shoes?

PS I'm sorry if my descriptions were cliche ridden.  I'd like to think
"Olympic class frotterism" was an original.

As it happens, I work in a library, and only
last year, we got rid of our vinyl.  The vinyl
sat on some shelves in one of the work areas
for about a year, pending a decision on what
to do with them.

At about the end of last year, I got word
that the librarian responsible for this
decision had told two musician co-workers
that they could take their pick of the lp's
on the shelves.  I was so pissed -- they didn't
even ask anyone else if they "still" collected
vinyl.  I knew that there were some exotica
gems lurking in there, and I was afraid they'd
be gone by the time I got to look through
the stack.

Fortunately, the indie fanboy co-workers did not
have very adventurous tastes, and I got a bunch
of things, among them a copy of Martin Denny's
_Hypnotique_ in excellent condition.  Before I'd
found it, I overheard them saying that there was
"nothing good" left in the stacks after they got
done with them. Ha!

Another cool thing about this library is
that we've started to collect pulp magazines
and reissues of fifties cheesecake and such --
so we're seeing a lot of that these days.

Speaking of Mr. Arnaz, he did a song called "Forever Darling" which was
featured in the movie of the same name. There's a Lucy episode in which he's
"recording" it in the studio with the Pied Pipers. Unfortunately, I've never
been able to find a recording of this song -- or sheet music!! (I'd love to
add it to my "pointless hours of playing the piano" repetoire.) Any
suggestions?

According to the All-Music Guide (a nice place to start research, but I
wouldn't want to live there), he stopped actively recording in 1949 (save
the occasional sessions), so it is not too likely, unless RCA cobbled
together an album from his 78's.

I've not personally found any of his LPs floating around the thrift stores,
but I do have a CD called "Desi Arnaz:  The Mambo King" that I bought at
Tower Records about a year ago.  The quality is not bad at all and it has
about 13 - 15 tracks.

Hope this helps.

I also recommend talking to the librarians about the music. The librarians
at the library where I live ask me to pick out the jazz CD's because they to
not know anything about jazz and are reticent about what to order. I was
there last week and was asked to make out a list of about 12 CD's. I'll have
to pick out a few exotica ones too! Most librarians may only order what they
know or like. For instance, my library has a disproportionate amount of
showtunes....

The library in your area may need some help selecting eclectic music. they
only know books! ;')

It goes full circle. I started checking out LP's at the library when I was a
kid, looking for new sounds. I remember borrowing and being blown away by
Philip Glass's Glassworks, and that made me realize that their is a whole
world of music out their waiting to be discovered!

Keep listening Exoticats!

Yes I did.  For those confused . . . .

I got a massive email from this company in Chicago called Jazz Baby.  Under
the "To:" section there were like 100+ names.  So it was a blatantly
obviously mass mailing.

So I copied all those names and sent them an email that said "Happy National
Tiki Day".

I copied the email/advertisement with the massive list name and posted it to
the Exotica List with the comment about feeling "real special" that I was
part of this "mass emailing".

Well, now all the folks I emailed about "National Tiki Day" are emailing me
back.  One girl in Florida who has a TV program even said she was going to
mention it on here show today (which was going to be on manatees btw)!  Of
course she mentioned that she ALSO worked AT a tiki bar so I figure her
"show" can't reach too many so let her mention it.  Anything to promote Tiki.

Has this helped clear things up?  See, I try to stir things up by being
funny.

Like you didn't know that already.

Thanks T. Bob.  That's one less thing for me to worry about.  I can feel the

Year is 1996.

This is actually a version of Robert Drasnin's Voodoo album (available from
Dionysis records).

  Minus: two tracks cut, scant liner notes
  Plus: remastered 20 bit sound. No LP based pops and hisses. Sounds much
better.

It isn't out yet. It was supposed to be out in  Spring,but it was delayed
due to licensing problems with Italy. But it is coming in Autumn. There
aren't any copies floating around yet,despite many advanced ads and
promotion. Soon. I'm sure it'll be very good.

Subject: (exotica) RE: DJ Dmitri from Paris

While some people on this list rant and rave about how fantastic
Dimitri is, even slinging about the appellation "genius", I would have
to say, I find Dimitri quite dull.  I've heard people on this list
who've put together tunes ten times as good in their spare time, so I'm
not quite sure how he got a record deal.

He tends to pick a single sample and run with it throughout an entire
song, layering some vocal or other instrumental samples on time, but in
what I find to be a tired and hackneyed fashion.

However, it has been pointed out to me that I don't particular like
much techno music (usually for that exact reason), and this definitely
falls into a techno category, as far as song structure is concerned.  I
found this to also be the case with Tipsy and Sukia.

In any case, I haven't seen the other responses, but in the past
they've tended to be glowing and I wanted to throw out an alternate
opinion.

I will say, as a side note, his production of Nothing to Lose, was
quite enjoyable, so when he puts his mind to it, he can do nice things.

So, if you like the danceteria stuff, like Tipsy and Sukia, you'll
probably enjoy Dimitri.  If not, you probably won't.

I agree with this. In the library here in Portland Or they have the most
amazing collection of musique concrete and old electronic tape music on
immaculate vinyl. Unfortunately these are archived items and you can only
check out 3 at a time and there is a 5 day limit, but who cares I furthured
my knowledge of the stuff and whetted my appetite for finding some for my
self. Yes!! Its worth checking out (forgive my pun)

BTW tonight is my final night for the Sound Lounge for I am moving to
Bloomington Indiana to further my academic career. If there is anyone from
there or familiar with what to do with that part of the country, please
drop me a line because I am clueless. I may or may not continue the Sound
Lounge at a radio station there depending upon the "scene" so drop me a
note.... ALso I am doing a farewell show at the Hypnotica Night Friday July
30 at the Jasmine Tree Tiki Bar which is located in downtown Portland at
401 SW Harrison. Be there!!! Especially you Byron!!

Tonight Wednesday July 28 in the Sound Lounge:

 MoOgzIque COnCretE

The Sound LouNge
Wednesdays 9-10pm
KPSU 1450 am

thanks for listening......................

Jonathan,

Does the college you are going too have a radio station? If they do EMAIL
them and tell em your comin'
Hee Haw! You will be a shoo in. And if they already have a lounge program?
big deal! We need more of them.

If anyone happens to be near Glendale, CA, do not walk, rather RUN to the
Brand Library.  Not only is it located on some of the finer park land in
that area, but it is an arts library with a marvelous vinyl
collection.  Many, many wonderful things to be had there, also all of the
books are on the arts (that means music, too. of course).  I had the
fortune of being able to say, "I've heard of _____ , now I will listen to
the album to see if I like them".

By the way, the reference I made earlier "Ay, man. Lead and I'll
follow.  Where's library?", comes from "All Our Yesterdays", a Star Trek
episode (It's a favorite line of mine in that episode).  I guess that firm
handshake will have to wait.

Yup. It exists -- I have it. On ABC Records in a groovy gatefold cover.
Not incidental music, but a collection of the vocal musical numbers the
Evolution Revolution would perform on the show.

I hear the show's on TV Land or Nickelodeon currently. I really need to
make a point to catch it/start taping it.

I totaled my car about three years ago.  The CD I was listening to at the time
was the Ultra-Lounge 'Space Capades' ... the individual track was also the fifth
track: Dickie Harrell doing "Drivin' Around the Block'  Wrecking a car to this
song is much cooler than wrecking your car to some tune coming over the radio.

Although my car was totaled, I walked away without a scratch.  I credit the
Ultra-Lounge series with saving my life.  Who knows, if I had been listening to
the Eagles, I might be dead now.

You can credit Esquivel for saving your life also.  Come to think of it, as far
as I know, there are no documented cases of any fatalities to drivers who were
listening to exotica  music at the time.

It's just a personal decision.  I could just have well have determined that
listening to 'Ultra-Lounge'  distracted me me from my 100% alert driving state,
but I hate to think that music is the cause of any disharmony in my world.  It was
much easier (and better) to credit the music for saving my life.

Besides, the blame (and the ticket and higher insurance rates) went to the driver
of the van who swerved into my lane.

Jane, dahlink,

I'll bet you're just dying to catch that new movie. I can hear the
conversation around your watercooler now: "Hey, did you hear that
Jane was first on line to see "Dick?" What's gotten into her, anyway.
I mean, she always been kinda weird, ya know?"

Yeah what a coincidence.  Working in libraries, collecting records.  Next
thing you'll tell me, you're constantly reorganizing your records.
(I guess that's just me.)
I would find it a lot creepier if it turned out we had three nurses which
is why I don't join the Garth Brooks list.

Mine are totally unsorted. Well unless you count being sorted by how
recently they've been played. Each time I try and sort them they just get
worse...
