they say 1963 in the show.  and the one in disneyland has had the Offenbach

No, no.  It says Electronic Vanguard.  I mean, it may
still be a boot.   The Zounds/Surplus Store record is
Junkyard though.  Maybe that's what you were thinking.

this is a great selection, but for some reason the Disneyland Forever folks
deleted the parts needed to make the whole show.

i secured these a couple of months ago however and have been working on
merging all the tracks to be one complete, original tiki room show.

i am doing the same with the carousel of progress programs.

I'm jumping in too.

Dig the covers. Satin Brass is my favorite. Latin Lace a 2nd, featured in
the UL Cha-Cha(?) disk. But I like the music more.

Kept on hearing about "the Shearing sound" and listened enough now to know
what it is. Nice n' light. Even though Shearing plays the piano it seems
that the vibes get most of the action. And 1/2 way through a song the group
kicks into a lightly Latin cha-cha........Oooooooo.

I like to listen to this stuff in stop-and-go traffic. Keeps the blood
pressure down.

i am amazed at the poor sound quality of his most recent release.  i think he
does this on purpose but it makes the music (especially with headphones) hard
to listen to.

he adds pops and hiss to some areas (like it is suppose to be vinyl) and that
is cool but other areas sound jumbled.

some may like this effect but i do not.

Subject: (exotica) Disney Rocks

Funny the Tiki Room came up again, i just visited it with my son yesterday so
he could hear the bird calls. Around here we "watch" a lot of Disney. I
became aware last night that they are into the "rock band" business. Couldn't
name a one, but a few months ago they were hyping a late-teen pretty boy by
showing him perform before adoring gyrrrls, a-la Beatles circa '64, but in an
obviously tightly controlled tightly staged context. Then last night they had
what I am calling The Gap Band, and no, no "You Dropped A Bomb On Me", rather
a Gap-leather clad spike-do'd teen heartthrob shakin' his booty and sangin'
to da funky beats of an affirmative action wonderband including a "scratchin'
arm-throwin' DJ", and an ethnic rainbow of a backing band serving us some
righteous, stolen, and rigidly controlled phunk. That Disney outfit brings
out the cynic in me. You know, Hermenaut Magazine is right. You CANNOT find
an authenticity that hasn't already been commodified and now
Disneyfied.....Thanks for the space...Jimmy B

It's also the name of a movie.......a surf movie from the mid-60's.

Yes, there's a soundtrack. (Harry Betts; Epic Records US)
Yes, it's great.
Yes, it's very rare.
Yes, Tanaka has a copy. (yes,  I do too)
It has a very cool cover too.....it's in The Art Of Soundtracks book.

You're right, I'm an idiot.  It's not Warner Brothers
at all.  I was reading some info that MENTIONED Warner
Brothers and somehow my poor tired brain put that
together with this.

So, yeah, it's probably a bootleg.  But they do have
other titles, apparently:

101 STRINGS  "Astro-Sounds from Beyond the Year 2000"
and YMA SUMAC  "Miracles"  (Electronic Vanguard)  2
albums on 1 cd

MARTIN DENNY  "Exotic Moog"  and LES BAXTER  "Moog
Rock - Greatest Classical Hits"  (Electronic Vanguard)
 2 albums one 1 cd

[from the same label responsible for the Jean
Jacques Perrey "The Amazing New Electronic Pop Sound
of Jean Jacques Perrey and Moog Indigo" and Kenyon
Hopkins "Shock!" reissues]


Also:
LES BAXTER  "The Passions, featuring Bas Sheva"
(Electronic Vanguard)  cd


So.  I guess I missed these at the local Camelot.  Any
clue where I can get them on the Web?

Thanks,
Peter

I got my "Exotic Moog" b/w "Moog Rock" (which doesn't, alas --
I was expecting something more along the lines of Baxter's
other "rock" work) via Midnight Records in New York.
Don't know if they still have them, but damn, it was expensive.

Mr. Tanaka is so fabulous!  I saw him in October at the Coachella Festival in
Palm Springs. He put on a dynamic set.. I was dancing like a maniac in 90
degree heat... afterwards he threw out his latest remix album, which I
caught. I went up to him and gestured for him to sign it as his English isn't
the best.. he wanted to know how to spell my name.. I said "thank you for
your music" and kept bowing and saying thank you, thank you! It was really
cool..

Subject: (exotica) Jaded

Just when you think you've heard it all and you're
ready to retire from the music listening biz, you run
across a song that just lights up your life and you
could play it over and over and over and over and over
and over.

It's a fabulously warm, sunny day here in Cincinnati
and I just recently discovered this Spiral Starecase
song (so, okay, maybe some of you HAVE heard it all)
and I could play this song over and over again,
without stopping.

I need one of them little loop cassettes.

Anyway, does anyone else have a vaguely cheezy song
that sticks in the craw that just makes you super
happy to listen to?  Maybe we could compile them all
onto a single disc.  I'd like that.


Some nominations from me:
Can't Take My Eyes off You - Franki Valli (and all
covers too!)
Hair - Cowsills
Candyman - Kahimie Karie (not 70s, but I can't help
loving this song)
Hawaiian War Chant - Ames Brothers or Ray Charles
Singers

Also, for some reason (and maybe this is a sickness),
I really dig the Elvis tune Suspicious Minds.  It's
not particularly happy like that, but it gets me
singing out loud.  How can you not:  WE CAN'T GO ON
TOGETHER... WITH SUSPICIOUS MINDS.  That and a good
dose of MacArthur Park.  All in the "show band" style.


Anyway, just wanted to share my musical joy with
y'all.

PS: If anyone wants to email me with 'happy tune'
nominations (and tunes, if I don't have 'em already),
I'll work up a comp.

Lemme know whatcha think.

"Cuddly Toy" - The Monkees

"Michael And The Slipper Tree" - The Equals

Subject: (exotica) Irma Coctail Lounge Vol 1 & 2

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside good ole Irma of Italy
releases 2 new compilations in 1999.

Softer and easier is the Irma Coctail Lounge Vol 1, subtitiled the "Irma La
Douce Collection"  However let the buyer beware the selections are from other
Irma releases such as Mo Plen 2000 and Arriva La Bomba.  Nothing new here.
Recommended only for those who don't own much Irma stuff.

Much more dance floor is Vol 2 and again its all repeats from Irma's previous
releases.  As the subtitlle says its an Irma "Artists Collection"

For me that means sampler.

Its safe to go outside again.

I love those last two tunes myself.  Me and my two codependent easy
listening buddies here could probably fill two CDR's with McArthur Park
versions alone.
But I'd hardly call it a happy tune.  When you realize that life is a cake
melting in the rain, you might smile but that's different than being happy.
Same with Suspicious Minds, one of the few things I like by Elvis OR Waylon
Jennings.  It's good to finally realize we can't go on but...
I don't think I could compile a list or a tape or a CDR of all my favorite
tunes, happy or not.  There's too many.
And then there's the question of whether one of my all-time fave tunes -
"In my Solitude" - belongs on a compilation of happy tunes.  Sad tunes tend
to make me happier than happy songs. On the other hand, that version of
"Marrakesh Express" on Permissive Polyphonics makes me smile everytime I
hear it.

If I wanted to make a compilation of tunes that I could listen to
repeatedly, I'd make Bacharach tapes.  Which I've done.

But if you really need one song nominate, I choose "Time for Living" by the
Association.

Or "By the time I get to Phoenix".

Or "April Fools".

I almost never get to hear this kind of stuff.  I know all the original
tunes referred to here but I seldom hear the new things "they" make out of
them.
Yesterday I got to surf through a whole batch of Italian compilations from
bossa nova to jazz funk.  (I was surprised to find that old Al Kooper/Steve
Stills version of "Season of the Witch" on one of them.)
It was all very very pleasant.  There were a couple I'd sort of like to
hear again but nothing I was compelled to own.
Then I heard this tune "Nightmare" on a strange Claus Ogerman LP, "Saxes
Mexicanos".  And this French instrumental record by Roger Morris and his
Madison Club de Paris, which has a tune called "yeh yeh" so I guess it's
yeh yeh music.
I guess it's not really a comment on all these compilations that I would
rather OWN an old LP with one cool tune than a CD compilation with twenty
tunes.
I find it odd but also sort of beautiful that all this groovy music of the
past is being reclaimed, reissued, remixed, redone and re-presented
I can't keep up with it, I like hearing it - even in phone company
commercials - and yet it always makes me want to express some kind of moral
outrage.  Which would be silly...

Has anyone actually played a record that has this pre-echo to see if the
echo lines up at the same point as the music starts? This would prove the
vinyl overlap theory and disprove the tape echo theory.

Yeah, this CD is great. I think maybe Chuck heard something from it from me?
Doesn't matter, but it is rather strange at times. I'm off to Japan next
month and plan to buy whatever I can find on For Life. The tongue is

Subject: (exotica) CDR burning for Mac report

As threatened here's an update on disc-at-once (DAO) burning for Mac users

i've been using Toast 4 for the last couple of weeks, which claims to write
DAO.

In Toast 4, unlike 3, you can indeed reduce gaps between tracks to zero
theoretically.

HOWEVER, even though as it's burning it says it's burning disc DAO, when
you play the disc back, if you have cross fades between tracks, you'll hear
a tiny glitch.

Quite frustrating.

You can however burn audio CDs direct from mp3 format, which is good if you
don't have that much disc space on your drive.

PS. Thinking of explicit "happy" songs, so much more "sad" songs come to my
mind... does that say something about this century?

PPS. I'd like a copy of that Happy compilation, when it's finished!

BAD GIGS   By Tuck Andress (of Tuck & Patti)

Borrowed guitar, different string spacing, bridge or nut sliding during string
bending or vibrato, wrong strap length or strap breaking during solo, unwound
guitar string used as backup strap gradually cutting through shirt and
shoulder,
sleeve snagging on bridge suddenly locking up hand, wrong pick, dropped pick,
broken pick, no pick, pick stuck between strings, finger caught between
strings,
wrong strings, dead strings, sticky strings, blood on strings, broken strings,
no extra strings, jar of honey spilled all over strings, vintage L-5's gig bag
shoulder strap breaking immediately before album release concert for 5,000
people causing guitar to fall on concrete and creating crack from
tailpiece to
neck which gradually splits apart during performance with action getting
higher
and higher, amp too far away, amp too close, amp  broken so play through bass
amp or P.A., tone all wrong, overdrive bypass switch broken, cymbal in ear,
band
too loud, audience too loud, band downstairs too loud, bad monitors, no
monitors, in-ear monitors broken so Patti is heard acoustically but Tuck is
heard only through house PA 50 yards away resulting in Tuck being unavoidably
out of sync with Patti by 1/6 second for whole show, guitar buzz, RF from
nearby
transmitter louder than the music itself, brownouts making organ pitch
fluctuate
randomly over an octave range, power outage, equipment plugged into 230 volts
immediately before show, earthquake during show in high-rise, outdoor desert
performance at 131 degrees with sand-blasting winds, sub-freezing outdoor
mountaintop performance with snow storms and 40 mph winds, high altitude
dizziness, no sleep, no food, too much food, wrong food, food poisoning,
fever,
locked bathrooms, way too many liquids before long show, nagging suspicion
that
zipper is down, contact lens falling out during moment of peak concentration,
compromised hand position due to repeatedly sliding full width of stage while
trying to keep playing but not collide with Patti on yacht in rough Finnish
Gulf
of Bothnia, charts blown away by wind, charts on thermal fax paper, charts in
wrong key, charts without bar lines, charts with bar lines all displaced by
two
beats, charts in bass clef or C clef, chord charts with do/re/mi (France)
instead of C/D/E and everything else in Portuguese, realization that Miles
Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Pass, George Benson, Chaka Khan, Bobby McFerrin or
Steve Gadd just walked in, drunks falling on stage, drunks disrobing on stage,
drunks grabbing instruments or band members, band members falling asleep
during
song, pigs frolicking in sawdust-covered frat house knocking over band
equipment, thinly veiled animosity between bride's and groom's families
erupting
into violence during heartfelt version of My Romance, nightly juggling of
playing and operating the lighting console/footswitches and talking to
audience
members and trying to reign in tempos and egos of various fellow top-40 band
members, arrival at duo gig with unbelievably loud, aggressive fuzz-wah hard
rock bass player to discover that assignment is to back up elderly
white-haired
and white-suited gentleman singing unfamiliar country songs to unforgiving
patrons, crowded upscale happy hour dance floor unraveling into pandemonium as
normal-looking customers all collapse to the floor and writhe around on each
other while astonished saxophone-playing duo partner walks out leaving
helpless
solo guitarist playing The Hustle for 25 minutes, funk bass player
imprisoned in
lounge band insisting on popping strings throughout sensitive ballads,
accidental imprisonment of Patti in wine cellar out of earshot during guitar
instrumentals, onstage and on-instrument living creatures with varying numbers
of legs, belligerent drunken bowling alley lounge customer demanding that funk
band play Debussy's Clair de Lune while remainder of band looks expectantly at
guitarist, drummer watching ball game on portable TV with headphones
throughout
performance, guest singer repeatedly changing keys at random moments,
realization that the people who have just boldly picked up instruments and are
unexpectedly sitting in are Herbie Hancock and Wah Wah Watson, guns drawn at
rehearsals to settle disputes about form of song, marginally famous singer
resorting to the dreaded  "Do you know who I am" line, drummer and delusional
would-be front man jumping off the drums in the middle of a song and
mistakenly
chanting "we don't need no drummer to keep that funky beat" to a dance floor
packed with suddenly hostile former dancers, unstable band member deciding
that
it is his responsibility to educate the audience over the microphone, bass
player playing random notes and rhythms because he is not a bass player at all
but nonetheless booked the gig, drummer announcing that he killed somebody
just
before the show, swimming pool party turning into orgy with splashing on
inexperienced solo electric guitarist sitting beside pool doing his first solo
gig and fielding endless requests for the same song he had just played yet
again, bride's and groom's special song evaporating from mortified solo
musician's mind at the crucial moment, band member disappearing suddenly when
his chair falls backwards off riser, unstable enormous man peaking on LSD
brandishing artificial limb removed from his companion at audience and
threatening band to "sing with this", mirrors on back wall of club causing
introspective young guitarist to question meaning of his life at early
stage in
career.
