And what's more, he co-produced _Bobby Vee meets the Ventures_!

(Which I thought was just too bizarre--until I found out that signing
Vee to Liberty was what got his career off the ground to begin with.)

Classical Country by 'Snuff Garrett's Texas Opera Company' is another one of
Garrett's bizarre genre-blending projects -- combining one country standard
with one number from the classical canon in every song. My favourite is
Release Me & Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Other combos:

Make The World Go Away and Clair de lune (Debussy)
Wildwood Flower and Joy (Bach)
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and Second Concerto Op. 18 (Rachmaninoff)
San Antonio Rose and Also Sprach Zarathustra (Strauss)
Rose Garden and Bach's Minuet

and so on.

A scan of the personnel reveals David Foster on piano.

Seems to me I've got a couple of the Midnight String Quartet albums
(which also uses the harpsichord to good effect) produced by Snuff
Garrett, along with one of the Lonely Harpsichord albums, too.

I met the guy (sort of) back in the '70s when he appeared at a film
festival in Houston, TX.  One of the guests of honor was Roy Rogers--
they were showing a bunch of his films--and for some reason Snuff
Garrett was hanging around with him.

At one showing of a Rogers film, they stopped the film about 10
minutes in and announced that Roy would like to come in and see the
movie, too, 'cause it was one of his favorites, and would anybody
mind if they re-started the film?  So while they rewound the film, in
came Roy--in full cowboy regalia--along with Snuff Garrett, who sat
down right in front of me and my then-wife.  Didn't take off their
cowboy hats for the screening, either, so we had trouble seeing the
film.  Who's gonna ask the King of the Cowboys to take off his hat?
I think that's illegal in Texas, anyway.

Snuff sat next to Roy and sang along with all the songs in the movie.
He seemed to know ALL the words.

Not all that exotic, I guess.

Useless trivia served daily...

I like _Latin from Manhattan_ too--but for "rockin'est" you'll want
_Ethel Smith's Hit Party_, a later, more 60s release.

_Hit Party_ rips the place up with a gen-u-ine rhythm combo, electric
guitars, the works. Her driving, Noir version of "Taste of Honey"
might be my fave from it. (My breathless, slack-jawed burblings after
the first listen are to be found somewhere in the archives. . . )

God save me. . . Lenny has pulled decisively ahead of Pere Ubu and
the Three Suns, and I now have 26 Dee LPs--including 2 autographed
ones. The thing with Lenny is that he had his Hammond hot-rodded to
do a couple of really freaky sounds that no one else used, but which
always just slay me. . .

Don't miss _Dee-Latin_ if you only have room for one.

Yes, same thing with the UL cuts that were mono originally (i.e.
everything before 1958).

I'll speak more strongly than Ashley on this. They sound like someone
playing the record in a goddamn storm drain. Once you become aware of
which tracks were processed this way, it becomes very obvious and
annoying.


I think it's often interesting to listen to the mono version of a
recording, even when a stereo one is available. It's not at all the
same thing as taking the
L & R channels and combining them.

You can argue that the art of making a good mono mix had been
evolving for many years, at a point when stereo was still new and
producers were a little clumsy with it. In mono, there were a lot of
subtle techniques for suggesting space in the front-to-back
dimension; and generally things were mixed with less room
reverberation (which just makes things murky in mono). So solo
instruments often get a much more forward sound in the mono version.

Of course, a lot of things we enjoy were really *created* for stereo,
in which case that's obviously the way to listen to them. . .

Subject: (exotica) Portable CD players and Home Cooked CDs?

So far today I've purchased 2 portable (walkperson sized) CD players.  The
first one was an RCA player in the $70 range.  I got it home and it wouldn't
play any CD-R that was burned using Sonic Foundry's CD Architect.  It didn't
matter the color of the media, blue, gold, green, silver, it was just CDs
cooked up on CD Architect.  I thought the laser in my CD-R drive might be
calibrated wrong or something like that.  I took the CD player back to the
store along, with a disc that was burned using CD Architect.  I tested every
brand they had and the RCA was the only one that wouldn't play it.

I then got an Aiwa portable, I brought it home and it will play all the disc
that I have which were made with CD Architect as long as they're on a media
that's colored light goldish blue, but it won't play any discs that I've
burned on blue media and it won't play certain discs that list subscribers
have given me that are burned on blue media, but it plays other discs that
the same individuals burned on blue media.

All of the discs that the portable CD players have trouble playing, play
perfectly on even my most sensitive 8 year old Sony deck and 3 or 4 others
that I've tested them on.


      **The following sentence may not be suitable

        for younger readers or people offended by profanity**


What the mangy horse fucking hell is going on!!!

My guess is that the compact nature of the portable CD players does not allow
for some important bit of hardware that even some cheap boombox style CD
players must have since 4 or 5 of those have worked fine. I'll test a few
more on one of each of the disc I have problems with when I... GO BACK TO THE
DAMN STORE AGAIN TOMORROW !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So to recap.  I am very frustrated. I can't seem to find a small portable
compact disc player that will play all the audio CD-Rs I own.  The inability
to play is not limited to media color, drive the discs are burned on or
computer application used to burn them.
Any input or general moral support is greatly appreciated.

I have traded cd-rs with two list members and make my own. Also, locally I
have a friend who I have traded with.  My Sony Discman (a fairly inexpensive
player) plays all of them perfectly.  These are discs coming from 4 different
brands of CD-R burners and all different colors and brands of cd-rs.

If you are having problems try the Sony Discman.  If it doesn't play your
discs I would suggest that maybe the system you are using is not operating
optimally or properly.

I hope it works for you.

The answer to this dilemma is to buy a portable minidisk. This will allow
you to edit, rearrange and chop up your mixes before you put them on CD.
Then use the MD as your friendly portable player. Compile and carry your
minidisk mixes - leave your CD player at home on the shelf.

Saturday night on Channel 4 saw a documentary on the women of European
sleazy films of the late 60s/early 70s, which mentioned Soledad Miranda
(Vampiros Lesbos). Then they showed Four Times in One Night - I forget the
Italian title. Quite cool, groovy music, mod interiors and short skirts. A
couple of films mentioned were recent Italian soundtrack reissues by Easy
Tempo and others.
Where can I see more of this stuff I wonder?

Roy, Roy, Roy!

I have the same experience with certain CD players and various conditions and
media.  It is very frustrating.

I have a car CD player that does not play any burned CD-R.  I have another
car CD player that acts up, particularly if the weather is hot, when I play
CD-R, but other times it works fine.

My very nice Technics home unit will act  up sometimes but my new office 120
CD holder Technics has never missed a beat.

A friend of mine bought a rather cheap portable CD player that has that 20
second buffer thing and he says all CD's play fine.

He made a copy of my Tiki Room CD (still under development) that I burned
with CD Architect and his copy of my copy worked fine on his RCA home unit
which he bought about 3 months ago.

The whole freaking thing is a mystery.

I will tell you one thing, for me, burning CD's does not have the ubiquitous
play back that say a cassette tape did.

Sharing in the frustration,

TB

i have found them for 18 or so bucks for 10 but the bastards want 16 bucks to

what's the american word for "unsinn"? If the delete button is the
justification for posting just *anything* on this list, then why is it called
"Exotica"? I find it pretty sad, that threads like this usually seem to draw
much more attention than a serious discurse about real Exotica-related
subjects. If you have problems with your CD-player ask your dealer, buy a
product that says "Made in Germany" on the package or join a CD-player mailing
list.

I have found that part of the enjoyment of exotica and the "Exotica" mailing
list is the sharing of music with other members of the list.  The relative
rarity of much of this music means that home recording is frequently the only
way to disseminate the music. The down side of sharing the music and home
recording is that it involves software, hardware, audio equipment, mailing,
uploading, downloading and technology.

It all seems relevant, from basic artist discussions, rants on the corporate
structure of record companies to the lineage of Tiki mugs.

Yeah, like many things you do today.

I don't mean to exclude these hardware questions in total. It's just the general
amount of these kind of postings, that I find doubtful. The quality of a mailing
list lies in its practical use also. If I have to read my way through dozens of
unrelated postings before I arrive at one related to the original purpose of the
list, it's just too time-consuming. And Tiki Bob's suggestion with the delete
button basically means that I am forced to delete postings just by the subject.
And I think that'd be a pity.

Subject: (exotica) who mastered it?

some records is truly strange.
You can listen to them for years and they sound as good as the first =
time you heard them. It can be a record you call "one of my favorites". =
You dance to it in your little box of an apartment. You play it for =
others and they say "wow that record is really great". Then there comes =
a day when you feel a little off pitch, and you play the record for =
comfort but the record suddenly becomes your enemy. It feels like it is =
there to haunt you, make you feel bad, spit at you. Terrify you. It =
knows more than you, and it's using it agains you. After a while, some =
days maybe you try to listen to it again, now its not aggresive anymore, =
you dont get cold shivers, but you will never appreciate the record the =
way you used to. Because it has mastered you.

In amongst the debates on hardware and debates on debating hardware, I'm still hoping for some enlightenment on Francoise Hardy. Anyone? Pretty please?

Subject: (exotica) Dutch radiobroadcast about Exotica

Just noticed (really) that In an hour time, one of the Dutch national radio
stations has a 4 hr special about Exotica music. Live from KCCN Honolulu.
Interviews with Arthur Lyman and Martin Denny amongst others.
As far as I can gather there is live audio stream. Hopefully the ones below
work...

What do you want to know? She was a pop/schlager/chanson singer of the 60s and 70s, sang mostly in French, but had some successes in German as well, don't
know about English, but would guess she did as well. Her songs are so so, mostly very soft, you could file her in Nat's most desired category soft pop...
she was pretty, I mean she was really beautiful, tall, slim, long straight brunette hair, the type of the times, but musically, I don't know. Would
surprise me if anything would come up that would knock me off the chair. Any details, such as producers, song and album lists, sorry, I can't help you
there. No website about her?

BTW: Isn't it strange, we don't seem to have any French list members?

Well that is one opinion.  I personally feel that our efforts to de-bug our
CD burning process is directly related to us spreading the music to others
who enjoy it.

There are a lot of topics I do not particularly enjoy on the List and so I
use the delete button from time to time.  I never said the delete button is
justification for posting "anything" to the list.

It does, however, provide a means.  Use it how you will.

Oh, I liked the comment about buying a CD player that was Made in Germany
should solve the problem.  (Specifically:  "If you have problems with your
CD-player ask your dealer, buy a
product that says "Made in Germany" on the package or join a CD-player mailing
list.")  Now THAT seems like a logical response to old Roy.  There!   Our
discussion is complete.  Now back to discussions about true Exotica.

Oh, and Roy, don't bother to send me any more of your CD-Rs (as I understand
some don't work) and don't worry that I may miss out on some neat music that
you discovered.

So how about that Tipsy?

Hi all;

I've been asked by a Space Bop listener to find out the name of a CD for
him - can anyone on this list help?  He claims there was a CD issued a
few years back of Warner Bros. cartoon music by Carl Stalling - does
anyone know the title?

Thanks for any input

The Carl Stalling Project: Music From Warner Bros. Cartoons, 1936-1958
The Carl Stalling Project, Volume 2: More Music From Warner Bros.
Cartoons 1939-1957

Highly recommended.
