**************

Gleason recorded an LP of "dramatic" talk-singing for Capitol called "Words
of Love -- Intimacies... Spoken and Sung by Jackie Gleason." Loaded with
sentimental stuff like Jimmy Webb's "Didn't We," "September Song," "A
Cottage For Sale," etc.

He had a 45 on Decca, "What is a Boy?"/"What is a Girl," that's cloying
beyond belief, and another one (which I can't locate at the moment) where
he covers the oft-recorded melodramatic monologue "Apology At Bedtime."
Very creepy.

The stuff Ashley mentioned, recorded in character, is the most enjoyable.

Gleason's sidekick Art Carney recorded several singles for Columbia in the
Ed Norton character ("Song of the Sewer," "Va-Va-Va-Voom!," "Sheesh, What a
Grouch!" and others). I think there were eight singles in all, enough for a
nice CD collection!

It's even more interesting from a UK perspective, where a mainstream 'lounge
scene' got as far as a few racks of 'lounge' comps in the easy listening
basement of HMV Oxford Street and hearing Esquivel 'Mini Skirt' in a tv
advert. And there's definitely no Swing scene here, either...

Record companies are marketing stuff like the odd Bossa comp or the tv
advertised 'Music to Watch Girls By' rat-pack job, but there's no attempt to
create an actual 'scene' out of it, the only change is that people are
unafraid to listen to an odd CD or two of 'their parents' music.

Larry wrote <Como also recorded a lot of novelty tunes>

Funny, this week someone posted Como's "Dig You Later (A Hubba Hubba
Hubba)" on the 1950's MP3 newsgroup(tons of great stuff lately). This
was a circa 1945 novelty big band jive tune about dropping the bomb, "it
sure got smoky over Tokyo," and a lotta Cabbish hep cat patter. Wish I
could be as mellow as the C-Man always seemed to be.

Which brings us to the the Great One, the King of Mellow. Yesterday in a
record store I forgot I was a Gleason completist and thus wouldnt pay
the $4 asking price for a Gleason LP issued by pharmaceutical company
Abbot Labs to promote their hypnotic drug (aka sleeping pill) Placidyl.
But it will be there next week. I think Gleason's records (espec the
early stuff with Bobby Hackett's faraway-sounding cornet) are a crucial
component of SABPM. After all, we all know what a pad was for....and the
12" records tended to have more cuts per side, so it wasn't necessary to
get up and change the record as often. And late at night a Gleason
record would't wake the fussy neighbors in the apartment below.
 I use his music as a stress reducer and sleep inducer, tho without
Placidyl. There is enough music there to listen to, but remember the
original purpose was to get the slightly tipsy girl you were with
relaxed and in the moooooood.

D'accord! Elevator music.

On the back you see Dal=ED and Gleason shaking hands. So funny: Gleason l=

Amen. But that was not the point. Neither was the quality of House Industries

Hi,

The remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair" opened here
this week, to fairly good reviews, but so far none of the
critics has mentioned the music.  Anyone here seen
the new version, and can say if it is a new score?

Thanks, Hugh.

I don't have Simply Faboo yet, but I listened to it the last time I was at
WFMU and it's light years better than the first one--which I liked more in
concept than in execution anyway. The label was Rephlex, so I guess it's out
in the UK. That's one I'm definitely looking forward to grab.

This is true even to this day. The south has gotten a bum deal all these
years; people who've learned their history from television seem to think
that everyone below the Mason-Dixon line was riding around wearing white
bedsheets over their heads, but this was simply not so. Ignorant, racist
people know no geographic boundries. The music that became rock and roll
was born out of the sythesis of a number of cultures (just as exotica was);
When the black people of the mid-south moved in large numbers to the
industrial northern cities, the music got harder, faster and angrier in
response to the cold climate, overcrowded cities and long hours working in
factories. Rockabilly and honky tonk were the result of ubiquity of the
automobile, the music reflecting the cars speeding along the new highways
(and the travelling musicians who were riding in them). And of course, as
always,liquour and drugs played an important role in music (it was
performed in bars, ya know).

>This may sound funny, but there is probably more of a stratification (or

>Particularly in the South.

Among adults maybe - - but the fact is that hip hop is the most popular
style of music with younger folks today : white, black et al.

The only review that I read that touched on the subject of music said
that the best thing about the remake was that it DIDN'T include
"Windmills Of Your Mind".  Personally, I don't know how you could remake
it without that song, but that's Hollywood for you...

Subject: (exotica) The International Lounge Festival in Italy

Hi gang,
I'm back. Took really a while to digest the 50+ back digests I had
accumulated. I even thought about giving the list up, I must confess:
too difficult had it become to keep up with all the postings
and I really lacked the time. But after reading the first back
digests, I promptly realised I just could NOT. Gee, there has been
some hormonal fever recently with our lounge gals, and I missed it!
Hope to get back in time for Jane & Magnus wedding. Wotta a party I
figure, and sure it won't come short of DJ's.

On the serious side, I've read Chuck informing the list we in
pizzaland having an "International Lounge Festival". True, and I was
there. It took place last June in Montecchio, near Reggio Emilia,
Italy. It has been put up by the Mac-Mac promotion agency, the one
who works with the IRMA artists and runs lounge nights and events in
a club ("Bainait") nearby.
It was a success: 1000+ people in an open air arena shaking their
asses off to the sound of italian/international easy live acts and DJ
sets, from 6 p.m. to the very wee-wee hours. The event has been
hosted by masters of ceremonies Count Indigo (M.C. of Club Jo-Jo's
in Soho, London) and Checco Montefiori.

DJ sets included: the Mo'Plen "smart researchers" Scanna & Ninfa
(husband & wife), who played different sets, both very groovily; the
masters Martin & James Karminsky from London; the Fez File (Schema
Records) from Bari, Italy; maestro Paolo Scotti (Studio Uno Recs.);
and the surprising "Le Hammond Inferno" duo from Berlin, who
delighted the in-crowd with a steady selection of tunes with high
content of grooooooooooooviness. EVERYBODY was dancing during their
act. And we had the much-awaited Pizzicato 5, who indeed rose some
controversy. First came on stage him (sorry, I'm not a fan of P5 and
I don't recall their names) and stunned the audience with 45
minutes of djing. Never saw a DJ so precise with mixes, a real
wizard. We just couldn't believe our ears. Absolutely no way to catch
the moment he was mixing a disc to another, it all sounded a
45-minute long dancefloor-killer easy beat delicatesse. Then, she
came. All dressed up very properly, I should say. But that's all. For
another 45 minutes she just lip-synch'ed t the P5 records the wiz
behind her was spinning, still to everybody's appreciation for his
masterly skill. The crowd was divided: the majority enjoyed the show,
but someone in the front lines (the ones who could more easily see
the gimmick) threw on stage their disapproval and actually gave P5
the finger.

Live acts have been, in order of appearance: Valvola from Florence,
Italy (very electronic, no way easy in my idea of easiness); Sam
Paglia & His B-Movie Heroes from Cesenatico, Italy (a real "hammond
inferno"); Mina from Germany (Bungalow Records: same as for Valvola);
local heroes Montefiori Cocktail from Forli', Italy (great as always,
these guys do rule - they hosted their daddy Germano, renowned
50's/6Ts orchestras sax player, he's the one on the cover of their
CD, for the whole show, and Scanna for a moody rendition of Sunny,
sung in italian. If you still don't have their CD, GO FU**ING BUY
IT!); VIP 200 from Cesenatico, Italy (hammondesque lounge mods - the
next big thing in local easiness: they still don't have any record
out but you bet it won't take long to see them vinyled down). Of all
the acts announced, the only one who missed the scene has
been Balanco, which sure was a pity but I wonder when they could
ever have played with such a crowded program.

But the most intense, and touching also, moment of the night was when
Paolo Scotti gave prizes to Piero Piccioni, Franco Godi and Berto
Pisano, for their careers. They personally attended and received
standing ovation from the crowd. Piccioni, an old man now, was really
moved, and it has been a joy for the heart to see the youths of
VIP 200 playing some of Piccioni's work on their stage set, and
Piccioni touched by the perpetuation of his music from the now
generation.

Such a night. Wish you all were there.

Subject: (exotica) Lounge At Cinevox

I have in my hands a new CD release. It's on Cinevox and called
"Beat Vol. 1 - Lounge At Cinevox".
Cinevox is a well known Italian label specialized on soundtracks, but
this is the first time - as far as I'm concerned - that puts out a
compilation. It has been compiled by Claudio Fuiano, also
responsible for some selections on Easy Tempos. Package, notes and
track selections are very accurate, and I would commend it to every
60's/70's Italian soundtracks aficionado. Tunes are generally groovy
uptempo beat. I don't think it has already been distributed abroad
(but "worldwide" distribution is announced by pick up export: see
www.pickuprecords.it), so if you think this is your
cup of tea you can drop me a line and I'll see if I can find some
copies in the local shops.

Tracks are:
1. Marcello Gigante & Carlo Bixio: Il seme di Caino (from "Il seme di
Caino - Cain's Seed", Italy 1972);
2. Ennio Morricone: Alla luce del giorno (from "Metti una sera a cena
- - The Love Circle", Italy 1969);
3. Carlo Rustichelli: Unknit (from "Il ragazzo che sorride - The
Smiling Boy");
4. Sandro Brugnolini & Luigi Malatesta: Bakenda Beat (from "Gungala
la pantera nuda - Gungala The Naked Panther", Italy 1967);
5. Goblin: Supermarket (from "Zombi - Dawn Of The Dead", USA 1979);
6. Fred Bongusto: Up To Date (from "Gli ordini sono ordini - The
Orders Are Orders", Italy 1971);
7. Carlo Savina: 2968 (from "La scuola delle vergini - Ismoulova S
Dablemi", Czechoslovakia/Italy 1968);
8. Augusto Martelli: Mood (from "Il dio serpente - Djamballa",
Venezuela/Italy 1970);
9. Gianni Ferrio: Milano Rhythm And Blues (from "La morte risale a
ieri sera - Death Took Place Last Night", Italy 1970);
10. Giorgio Gaslini: Domani forse (from "Rivelazioni di un maniaco
sessuale al capo della squadra mobile - Revelations Of A Sex Maniac
To The Police Chief", Italy 1972);
11. Ennio Morricone: La cosa buffa (from "La cosa buffa - The Funny
Thing");
12. Piero Umiliani: 5 bambole per la luna d'agosto (from "5 bambole
per la luna d'agosto - 5 Dolls For The August Moon", Italy 1969);
13. A. Zatsepin & Carlo Bixio: Una vergine da rubare (from "Una
vergine da rubare - Kavkazskasaja Plennica - To Steal A Maiden",
Russia 1967);
14. Piero Piccioni: Il dopolotta (from "Mimi' metallurgico ferito
nell'onore - Mimi' metallurgic, Wounded In His Honour", Italy
1972);
15. Guido & Maurizio De Angelis: Serata al Night (from "Afyon oppio",
Italy 1972);
16. Don Lurio Show: C'era una volta un motivo.

From the notes:
"This CD is the first volume of dance floor tracks taken from the
soundtracks to films that all became genuine cult idols for their
cinema crazed fans."

For more on Cinevox see:
www.talenti.it/bixio
(with nice selection of Morricone, Goblin and Dario Argento's movies'
soundtracks)

I've listened to a bunch of Gleason and the only one I can even half way
stand is Ooo!.  I'd have to say I actually like this album. It's got the same
old watered down music, occasionally you hear a piano that sounds like it was
recorded a block away, but the vocals on this one make it very odd.  The
vocals go from gentle cooing to some down right screaming.  It's actually
gets creepy at points.  It's just weird enough to make it good.

Subject: (exotica) Flabby's new groove

I have just seen on the telly the video of the new Flabby song,
called "Baluba". You may not be familiar with him: he's the Italian
guy who last year scored a minor hit with his reworking of "Mambo
Italiano" rapped in duet with the original Italian singer of the
tune, Carla Boni, now a nice chubby granny. He had a CD out called
"Modern Tunes For Everybody", which I know for sure some of you
fellow listers have enjoyed, having myself provided it on request.
In my opinion, the best track is the instrumental tune of the man
"Flabby's Groove", which is also included as a bonus track to the
otherwise all-vintage Italian library music CD compilation
"Aperitivo, vol. 1" (I posted about it some months ago).
The new one is still a reworking: this time's the turn of "Baluba
Shake", duetted with the original singer, Brunetta. You can find
Brunetta's original version on "Arriva la bomba (The Italian
Easiest Party Of The Year)", an IRMA compilation.
Fits the dancefloor, inna easy-beat mood.
Go Flabby Go.

Nice to be back

Inspired by this weekend's Bruce Lee extravaganza on the telly, I was
wondering if anybody has any info on Bruce Lee soundtracks. I know the
Enter the Dragon soundtrack but have never seen any others. Anybody?

Subject: (exotica) Red Tapes

So totally off-subject, I'm embarrassed, but I figured, if anyone would
know how to procure such audio art, it'd be my fellow listees.

I'm looking for the original Red Tapes from which much of the Moe's
Tavern phone calls on the Simpsons were based.  Even before the Jerky
Boys, this prankster got this guy Red on the phone, who constantly went
apoplectic.

Anyone know if these are still around?

Just wondering,
Peter

Thanks for that enlightenment, Cleve!  As a person
raised for 29 years in the South(now living in Boston,
another area with a racist-tinge)...I agree the South
gets some, not all, but some unfair bashing.  I heard
a stat recently that CT has the most Klansmen per
capita of any US state.  How's that for New England
liberalism?  Racism sadly doesn't stop in the South!
As far as musical history in the South, my momma, born
and raised in (gasp!) Alabama, saw Ray Charles in a
presumably "white" club, but used to only really like
to go to the "black clubs" and and listen to the radio
station in Mobile known as "The Inkspot on Your
Dial"!(ouch!)  So, from somebody else who was
vicariously there,
Jane Fondle

Enjoyed the debate and the constant references to the exotica list as if
it's some kind of quotable source but my question is "What's Organ and
Bongos"? and does it take its name from the great Eddie Osborn LP?
(There's a cute moment with that record in my film.)

These can frequently heard on Howard Stern's radio show. I had assumed these
were done by a listener, but I didn't know they'd been released.

   Isn't Connecticut a MidAtlantic state (NY, NJ, PA, MD etc.) rather than a
New England state (MA, ME, NH, RI )? Being a natural westerner, I might be
mistaken, but weren't there more regional divisions rather than Mason/Dixon
line derived?
    Local New England accident victim and occasional writer, Stephen King
remarked in some of his discussions about "IT" that it was inspired by his
discovery that the Star Spangled Society (a wholly native, New England based
racist hate group unlike the Conferderacy derived KKK) had been responsible
for a number of awful events in his beloved New England. Comparable to the
Know-Nothings in the Midwest. Or todays' California Reichsters. Hate is
where you find it--usually under a rock.

The Red Tapes have been floating around the web for some time now, but never
in the same place twice.  I have it in one large MP3 file which I would be
willing to send to you, if your mailbox can hold it.  I'll let you know the
size tomorrow.  (I've got the file at work.)

I NEVER get tired of listening to those tapes.  Puts the Jerky Boys to

Since I see none of the new Italian listmembers (ciao DjBatman &
ErMan) had the guts to translate, I guess it's up to me as veteran
guaglione to take the case, so that everybody can fully appreciate
what a bunch of lovely chaps this list is hosting nowadays.
If you think you were just going to learn about old vinyls & new
zounds in this list, you can now press the delete button.
Otherwise, now dig this:
"suor fica" means "nun cunt".
Pretty exotic, innit?
Now play an Astrud Gilberto song, in order to recover from rudeness.
