Depends on your interpretation of average food but my my standards
dreadful would be more appropriate. And the place was packed with
people that obviously thought otherwise!.  Chinese buffets are
usually a sign of trouble... when hot dogs, macaroni, jello and the
like find their way into the menu.  I like to think we had much
better food experiences with Moritz & Katja and this should not be
indicative of Montreal food culture, tiki decor aside!

Who would have guessed...  this record originally was given to me by
Nat who though of my interests in things German when he was he
was last in town. I though it appropriate that this record should end
up with Moritz who knew it so well. So,  it is mostly thanks to Nat.

> LPs? North Americans are really lucky.
After returning from Paris, Prague & Berlin, I have to agree Moritz
is correct. I didn't so much as see a thrift shop let alone one
filled with records!  With real estate costs being what they are in
these places, I suspect a trip to the suburbs may have unearthed
something, but somehow the thought of going to these places to visit
suburbs seems impossible to fathom, for us anyway! The stores we did
find in Paris (Bimbo Tower, Born Bad) and Berlin (Staalplaat, Gelbe
Musik) did not disappoint though...

That's twice this !%$#* machine has failed me!  I'm going to get this
looked into and get the tape transferred one way or another.  The
film is just too good to let a piece of defective machinery get in
the way!

Of course we will have to soon post the results of our trip, begun
the day before Moritz & Katja left us and ending only yesterday.
Amazing discoveries in both Paris & Berlin, highlighted without any
question by a visiit to the new Schmatlzwald in Berlin!  More to
come...

I suppose the hawaiian guitar and daisychains of exotic flowers round

I've got plenty of signed records, but mostly they're (presumably) local
musicians and i guess were signed after gigs. It's nice when they come
with tour dates and list all the dives they're playing in.

I forked out a whole pound for Wout's Paradise Island (64? 66?) the
other day, mainly for the cover I have to admit (fetching young lady in
skimpy 'exotic' costume). It's rare to find 'proper' exotica LPs in the
UK, and this cover is definitely styled like a 50s US sleeve (the
writing and everything). There is one great track on it though, a lively
'Tiger Shark'.

That was my original thought, though i'm much too anal to sell any of my

with that name that predates my show.

On the subject of Ghost Riders: It's one of those songs whose presence
will make me buy an album i otherwise wouldn't look at. Some of the
versions in my collection:

Tom Jones (Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings)
The German baritone Ronny (in German -- Geisterreiter)
A French version (Les cavaliers du ciel) by suave-looking Armand Mestral
(he sounds operatically trained)
A disco version by the Dutch (?) Boots Clements (in English)

Subject: (exotica) exotica movie - Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.

Caught this movie on cable over the weekend: Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.

A "modern" telling of the classic tale with Dick Van Dyke at Crusoe, a
chimp in the Friday role, and the obligatory romance with a lost island
girl he names Wednesday. Very nice scenery from stock footage, location
shoots, and studio recreations. Nice, large stone idol which plays a
major part in the story.

Average story, somewhat predictable, but made an ok viewing and it was
reasonably funny. Van Dyke is good as always. One of the screenwriters
was Retlaw Elias Yensid (AKA Walt Disney).

The best part was an Baxter-esque soundtrack Disney composer Robert F.
Brunner.

If you're into Giligan's Island style exotica, this is a pretty good
one. Kevdo says check it out!

We've known for a long time now that Garbage would
sing the title song, but we didn't know what music
would play over the title credits.
007 NEWS has now learned that the Scott Walker song
that is on the TWINE soundtrack will not be in the
movie. The song that plays over the closing credits
will either be a re-mix of the Garbage title song or
an instrumental version.
For Tomorrow Never Dies, k.d. Lang's Surrender ushered
audiences out of the theater and when the track list
came out for the TWINE soundtrack, every indication
was that the last song titled "Only Myself to Blame"
would do the same.
The song however got in the album after David Arnold
and Don Black decided to put lyrics to a melody they
had written for a casino scene in the film. Thus,
Scott Walker, of Walker Brothers fame, will croon
"Only Myself To Blame" on the CD.


Buy it from Amazon.com
 According to a brief biography on Amazon.com, Walker
had a series of hits in the UK in the late '60s "with
rueful, heavily-orchestrated pop statements that
sounded like Engelbert Humperdinck crossed with
Louis-Ferdinand Celine."
And in one Bond connection found on his resume is that
Hal David co-wrote "Make it easy on yourself" for
Walker. Hal David also wrote the lyrics to
"Moonraker."

The site names 18 tracks on the soundtrack that, as
they generally do, describe scenes from the movie.

While I can play 78's, my recently acquired copy is the
45 rpm boxed set version. I think there is also a 10 inch
version (a lot of albums in the media format transition years
were released in all three formats and sometimes making it
on the 12 inch LP format as well).

This is just another one of those
stories where different orchestra instruments demonstrate
themselves to a child (Rusty).  A few of them use the Sonovox thing
to talk...but this really is not as prevelant as the hype
might lead you to believe.  I find the whole thing a
curiosity, but that is about it.  I am glad I have it but
probably won't play it again for years!

Subject: (exotica) The Big TNT Show

Thanks to one of mace's tv posts I caught the TNT Show  (1966) with a host of bands
popular in that day (or a little earlier), Byrds, Lovin' Spoonful, Ronettes, Ike &
Tina, Roger Miller, Pet Clark, Donavan, Bo Diddley and Ray Charles.

What was most exotic was the the opening and closing numbers done by the house band,  I
believe it was Phil Spector regulars led by Jack Nitzschie, though Ian McCullum  from
the Man  from U.N.C.L.E.  was waving his hands around like a conductor.   The opening
song after the credits was such a now sound version of Satisfaction, it was hard to
recognize the song.  At the end, the same house  band did the mid 60's country flavored
song "Still", in a totally utempo now sounds and with a great set of GO GO Dancers to
add that 60's flavor.

Also of interest was the opening song (during the credits), This Could Be The Night,  a
sunshine pop song produced by Spector, trying to update his sound, and sung  by the
Modern Folk Quartet.  It was never released until the Phil Spector Box set, "Back To
Mono". In the MFQ was Jerry Yester who once produced the Association and  who also made
an album, "Farwell Aldebaron" with his wife in the late 60's.  I'd just would love to
hear this.  Also in the MFQ band was Cyrus Faryar, who narated Zodiac's Cosmic Sounds.

Check this out if it comes on again and leave your tape players running for a zany
interview with Gary Lewis and a weird video for the Night Has A Thousand Eyes, Bobby
Vee (on a motorcyle in shorts)  Also dance to the "Fly" with Chubby Checker and a
little Annette and Four Seasons to spice up the tape.   Its playing on AMC.

Easy listening in the Big Easy
Chuck.

I did not see the show but a friend of mine did.  I think they asked Gary
Lewis "why don't you have a haircut like the Beetles?"  What a stupid
question.

Was this on the TNT show or did my friend happen to see some other zany Gary

How can you be so sure?  What if they secretly looked into our plane tickets,
while we were, say, in St.Gerome, to check out where we're from, then booked
flights to Munich behind our backs and broke into our house, while we were
still in Canada? Of course you wouldn't see a glimpse of them in your kitchen
now! Never underestimate those bastards! However... I killed them all.

It was not in the movie. It was one of AMC's short subject fillers.

I'm a bit confused about the Modern Folk Quartet. They were listed in the
opening credits, complete with an onstage shot, but (unless I really spaced
out) they didn't appear in the body of the film.

Petula Clark was a lot cooler than Joan Baez (give the vibrato a break
already, Joan), but Bo Diddley was farging monumental!

Subject: (exotica) Mad Magazine LP?

Hi - can anyone out there point me in the direction of a record I've been
trying to find out about for ages. (One of those records heard when I was
younger & have never since seen)

Its a MAD Magazine LP and I was *sure* it was one of the RCA Stereo Action
series (based on what I can remember of the cover art) but I've been unable to
find it on the published RCA discography.
I know it was a full sized LP and not one of the smaller flexi-disc style ones
that were sometime given away with MAD itself.

>From what I can dimly remember it was largely percussion type numbers done with
extra MAD Magazine type touches.

Any clues?  Is it any good? I really liked it when I was 12!

Subject: (exotica) Pam Am - "Get into this world!"

I've totally, totally been getting off on an LP called "The Name of the Game
is Go" put out by Pan-Am airlines in the mid 60s. It was a promotional album
for their splashy new jingle - "for once in a lifetime/get into this world"
Very addictive song!!

Side one is variations on the jingle (called "Go") with different
lyrics/voices/styles. There's a bossa-nova version, a male chorus version, a
male/female version, etc. The side ends with versions in Spanish, French and
Portuguese. Very cool, even if this section's badly edited together into a
medley.

Side two begins with instrumental "interpretations" of the theme, done in
different styles - orchestral, groovy rock, etc. There's also a swinging
Sammy Davis Jr. vocal version and a surprisingly good Steve Allen
instrumental done in faux-Bacharach fashion.

All of it is done in high "Now Sound" style. The arrangements are
absolutrely fantastic! Unfortunaltely, no personnel is credited, except for
one "Appelbaum" who is listed on the label for composing "Go".

Anybody know anything else about this??

I was wondering if anybody else has interesting "ad campaign" albums. Do
tell! I've been thrifting for years, and this is the only one of this type
I've ever come across.

Musically Mad by *somebody* and the stereo mad men.  It does have cool stereo
panning sound and if memory serves you are correct about it being on RCA.  I
don't really recommend this LP, certainly not for the big dollars it usually
sells for.  There are a couple of fun pieces, like a parody of percussion
records and a parody of Kenton type modern jazz, and one song with the melody
played by hands being squeezed together to make farting sounds.  Apart from
those 3 songs I was very bored by this record.

It is "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" that's playing during
"Dr. Strangelove", though "Ghost Riders" does sound similar to "When
Johnny..."

WHich reminds me of the Spike Jones version of "Ghost Riders". At the end
of the song, The City Slickers break into a rendition of "When Johnny...":

"When Johnny comes marching home again, hooray, hooray,
We'll make the guy who wrote this song pay and pay.
'Cause all we hear is 'Ghost Riders' sung by Vaughn Monroe...
Yippee Yi Ayyyyyyy... *BANG*"

Really? Hmm... could be. I don't know "When Johnny Comes..."; must be pretty
similar then. So who did it?

Does anybody remember the song "Oranges Parnges" which was sung by Witchy-Poo
on the Puff-n-stuff show?  For some reason, that song just popped into my
head.  I am sure it was the Johnny Whittaker refrence.

Witchiepoo sings it with her band for a talent show:

I thought it was an English folk song that was carried across to the US
at some point. I've got lyrics in a book somewhere: Johnny never does
come marching home, but all the lyrics i could find on the web for the
song are of a more recent US version from 1863 which are pro-war stuff
and very different. The Clash did a version under the title 'English
Civil War'.

However, the following complicates matters:

In Reply to: ...We hardly knew ye posted by Todd on March 29, 1999 at
17:38:53:

Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye. It comes from an Irish anti-war song sung to
the tune of "Johnny Comes Marching Home" (there's
disagreement about which song came first): "With your guns and drums and
drums and guns, hoo-roo -- hoo-roo, With your guns and
drums and drums and guns, hoo-roo, -- hoo roo. With your guns and drums
and drums and guns, The enemy nearly slew you, Oh my
darlin' dear, you look so queer, Oh, Johnny, I hardly knew you." This
information is from "The Folk Song Abecedary" by James F. Leisy,
Hawthorn Books Inc. "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye -- While many of the folk
have celebrated Johnny's return from the war with 'When
Johnny Comes Marching Home,' others have greeted him with the Irish
anti-war version, 'Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye.' While the two songs
share the same tune, and they're both concerned with a soldier's return
from war, that's all they have in common. Not only is the spirit of
each text opposed to the other, but the spirited supporters of each text
frequently dispute which text had the tune first...In 'The Folk Songs
of North America,' Alan Lomax states, 'When the Irish bandsman, Patrick
Gilmore, arranged this best of all American marches (When
Johnny Comes Marching Home) in the early days of the Civil War, he made
use of an Anglo-Irish folk tune already firmly established in
the States. The shape of the air indicates that it belongs to the
Captain Kidd family, whose lineage has been traced back at least as far
as
the sixteenth century, but Johnny's immediate ancestor is probably the
Irish anti-war song which runs...With yer guns and drums and
drums and guns...' In his 'Irish Minstrelsy,' Spurling suggests that
this song (Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye)of soldier's protest dates back to
1802, when Irish regiments were recruited for a campaign in Ceylon."
