Don't know alot of bio, but he was also a part of The
Bluejeans. I have a fair amount and also would like to
know more about Terauchi and other eleki (I think that
is the term for instrumental, electrified groups)
artists - who seemed as influenced by bands like The
Astronauts as by The Ventures

  you might want to try the p5 discography:


http://freehosting1.at.webjump.com/1c11ec672/ne/newmusicmachine/pizzi5/discography/index.htm

  it looks like it needs to be updated as it doesn't have the new remix cd
on it. but you might find what you are looking for there. or if you want i
could post a message on the p5 list and see if anyone over there knows...(or
you could join yourself).

    The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is gearing up for Surf Trip, an
exhibit dedicated to surfing art and culture. There will be a party on May
12
and then the exhibit will run from May 13 to July 23.

    The video part of that show will be called "The Sick Six," which is kind

of a silly title for the six most important surf movies ever made.

       It wasn't easy to whittle it down to six, but these are the ones I
came up with.

    Gun Ho

    The Endless Summer

    Five Summer Stories

    Free Ride

    Surfers: The Movie

    Loose Change (with apologies to Jack McCoy)

    These videos will be put on rotation in a special screening room within
the Yerba Buena Center for the duration of the art exhibit. They will have
three screenings a day from Tuesday to Sunday. They will be charging
admission
to get into the whole show, but no special admission charge for the video
room.

Chuck Fensch tipped me to some Tiki boxer shorts at Target
when I went to get them I also found a cool Tiki T shirt and a dress shirt
for $14.99 with Tiki heads on them. The Tikis on both shirts are based on

Subject: (exotica) Hawaiian Shirt Trend

As a "young" 33 year old, curious what some of the "old timers" think of
the exploding fashion trend of Hawaiian shirts, animal prints, and other
"exotic" clothing. Do you view it as a good thing or a bad thing?

I view it as mostly good. "Real" Hawaiiana geeks like me don't overly
care... it is just a bit more socially acceptable and the selection is
better though quality is sometimes awful. A guy at work who knows I am
drooling over his upcoming trip to Tahiti saw me wearing a
"hawaiian-ish" polo shirt and immediately labeled me as obsessed! Yep,
guilty as charged.

Subject: re (exotica) Mandingo

<snip>  Does anyone
one know what the story is with this band?  I have strong suspicions that
this is the Les Baxter of tribal music somehow but can't say for sure..

Brian

usually Charlie answers this one, so I haven't said anything til now,  but
mandingo is a pseudonyms of one of the more productive UK easy listening
composers.  I think Geoff Love.  So in terms of output and range I suppose
you could compare with Baxter,  but not much of his other stuff is that
exotic.  I think he also did the Manuel and the music of the mountains. Some
Shirley Bassey too. (Saw her in concert last night,  no miming there I
think,  30 piece orchestra and a dress change).

Bearing in mind that this is all from my notoriously unreliable memory.

The Hawaiin/exotic shirt phenomenom has not caught on in New Orleans.  I just got
back from jazz festing where I wore the most outragious Hawaiin shirts I have ever
seen.   A couple from Boston even took a front and back picture of my shirt!  I was
one of the few wearing this kind of shirt at an outdoor  festival!

Subject: (exotica) WFMU record show in New York

It looks like I'm gonna be in New York for a few days and will be able to
got to the WFMU show. Can anyone on this list:

- - recommend certain dealers at this place? ones that have good stuff and not
at hideous prices? Anyone to avoid? Since time is of the essence I want to
know where to spend it wisely.

- - tell me whether dealers at this show are open to trading. I'm bringing a
pile of good WFMU-ish records to hopefully trade or sell - am I wasting my
time? (american dollars are ruthlessly violent to the canadian wallet, hence
any help in alleviating the costs is needed)

- - recommend hip/funky places in New York in general.

any help here is appreciated.

Thank-You in advance
JBrouwer

I've picked up couple M. F.in' album in the past month and there have been
some good songs on each.  Keith Mansfield arranged (Some tunes) and produced
both albums that I have, "M.F. Horn Two"(CBS KC 31709) and  "Maynard
Ferguson"(Comumbia C31117).  They're both decent albums, in parts, so what
else is good by the big old M. F.?

Well, as an "old timer" of a collector or this stuff for about 10 years,
and a collector of vintage men's apparel, music, lamps, furniture, etc, for
almost 20 years,
I think it's "interesting" and if the print is unique enough AND there aren't
10 of them on the rack OR if they have been discontinued AND in my mind
I think I will "never see" anyone else wearing that print, I "might" buy 1.

There was a time in my life, when I grew from a Large, to an Extra Large,
which is where
I am now, that I could not find to save my life any vintage abstract print or
Hawaiian shirts, SO I broke down and bought a new shirt, which is VERY rare
The ONLY thing vintage I usually buy are shirts, whether they are abstract
print/Hawaiian/
and waist length zipper/button rockabilly jackets

It's "funny" that, that changed for me, right after I bought this new
abstract print shirt
a few years ago, but actually still love that shit and have NEVER seen it
anywhere else

I used to be almost anti-cotton or "bark cloth" in my abstract print
shirts, but then,
found some real early killers, as most of the one's found are from the
60's, which is a
bit late for me, as all the one's I've collected happen to be from the late
30's-the 50's.

I think I have mentioned it before, but what the hell, here it is again
Some, only a few are on my "House of Games" website, in which nothing is
for sale,
BTW, unless of course I have a duplicate copy of something
AND that NEVER happens with fabrics or shirts, only rekkids:-)
http://www.jackdiamond.com/houseofgames

I don't think this "trend" will let up.  Men, women and children love them,
those straight ahead
"Hawaiiana" prints, the Tiki-Esque designs etc etc etc.,
the "new" Rayon, the "new" washable silks, the feel of it's entire being,
they love.

They have been VERY much in the major stores and smaller stores here in the
San Francisco bay area.
It's a big time summer/spring thing.

Whether I like it or not, well, what do I "like" about corporate anything ?
Not much and do my best to not have anything to do with any of them,
without screwing
myself over too too much

I gladly pay a little extra money to support independent business, the
smaller companies,
the smaller distributors, because;

1) I am 1 of those guys.  I am a small independent business who tries to
carry unique titles
and artists that may not get the attention they truly deserve.

2) I know that if the world continues to support big business and
corporations, to save a buck or 2,
(and I am sure it will)
that in the long run, maybe not in my lifetime, but in my next lifetime:-),
I will HAVE TO buy all
of the music there is at "Tower" or "Amazon.com" or whatever and that the
smaller, independent
and more unique titles released, will come to an end and they will not be
around for anyone to buy,
because the corporate/big businesses won't want anything to do with
something/anything that doesn't
sell "3 million UNITS" or more.

The reason that the "Ultra Lounge" series was so much more "popular" and is
still so much more in so many people's minds
than the late great SCAMP label, was also because of POLITICS within the
music industry, also generally known
as "scum of the earth".  They were both part of the very same
corporation/company.  Capitol/EMI...I think
Ashley Warren or Cleve will kindly correct me:)
Yes, Ultra Lounge and SCAMP were from the very same company.  They were on
the "same side"

The BIG difference in "why's" is that Brad Benedict of the UL series was
given "a zillion dollars" to market and sell his product
compared to "a thousand dollars" given to SCAMP and Ashley Warren to market
and sell his product.

Ashley Warren was infinitely more of a purist than the bar hopping trend
hopping person that Brad Benedict was
as BB has already jumped ship from UL and hopped onto the "next big thing"
like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
or whatever other bullshit there is, which is probably old OLD news, by now

Don't get me started! ;)

<< The reason that the "Ultra Lounge" series was so much more "popular" and

Don't get me started about the Ultra Lounge Series.  First let me point to
some excellent cds all of which I believe have been deleted:
Rhino Records - Cocktail Mix: Bachelor's Guide To The Galaxy, &
RCA - Space Age Pop Vol. 2: Mallets In WOnderland

Irwin Chusid did the track selection for both of these exceptional discs.  I
have never heard (nor, likely ever will) exotica/lounge compilations of this
extra high quality.  Every track on both is great.  And the sound is
excellent.

WHY?  Because Irwin has been a fan and proponent of this music for YEARS AND
YEARS!  That's why.  He knows this stuff like most of the rest of us do, if
not better.

Ultra Lounge --- 50% of each cd is lame/filler.  They have messed up the
sound on a lot of the mono only recordings by putting them into bullshit fake
stereo.  ALmost every cd has TERRIBLE fake newly created "medleys" of two
songs from different artists being mixed together into a stupid medley.  And
the advertising for UL set the whole thing up to be a flash in the pan hip
little scene.  It begged people to buy the music so as to laugh at it.

I do not listen to this music because I think it sucks or is stupid.  I
listen to it because a lot of it is brilliant, inventive, clever, and makes
me smile.  If I thought it was fun to listen to music that was terrible I
would just turn on the friggin' radio!

And bravo to Irwin for including a chapter in his new book on the brilliant
Bob Graettinger.  Who else would spend time and energy writing a chapter on
someone who is completely overlooked, but has no status as a cult musician
and could never possibly achieve that status because his work is too
challenging to be camp.

I no longer buy lounge comp cds.  The one's I make and trade with friends are
far superior to anything in the UL series.  PERIOD!

And finally, Jack is 100% right.  It is the small labels who are putting out
complete cds of complete original albums.  I think that's what most of us
want, not some comp cd that has had more money and attention spent on how it
looks rather than what is on it or how it sounds.

Ofcourse, if you disagree I respect your right to do so, and this is in no
way intended as a personal attack on anyone.

BasicHip,

Is that URL for the Jungle Odyssey MP3 files still available?

By the way... Thanks for putting up the MP3 files from various albums.  I
know the list really digs them (and they are a guilty pleasure for me too!)

Your links were a little too long for me to pick up so I went to cdnow.  This music
sounds fantastic!!!    Everything I heard was right up there with the modern soft
pop sound.  Really sweeping melodies you would expect from writers on the Siesta
label or Louis Phillipe.

I was a little surprised to listen to Emmylou Harris.

Thanks raul for the promo

Easy listening in the Big Easy

Subject: (exotica) Wow!  Concrete! (or Bedazzled/Lady in Cement)!

The French have a saying which goes roughly "If 50,000 people say it is a
foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing".  The reverse seems to be
true:  "If exotica list members say it is a great thing, it is still a
great thing."

The Bedazzled/Lady in Cement CD is pretty great from top to bottom.  The
raves were mostly justified.  Sorry, Br. Cleve, I happen to LIKE the Nun's
Chorus, albeit it's not got much beat to it.  Little did I know that
Stanley Moon and Dremble Wedge were singing the same tune, with different
lyrics.  If A&E hadn't cut it, I would have remembered it a bit better.  Grrr.

The big surprise to me was "Lady in Cement".  Hugo Montenegro was no
stranger to Rock and Rhythm and Blues, having been involved with the Isley
Brothers "Shout" album (which features the words "Rock, Brother" under the
RCA emblem on the cover), but with the exception "Love Is a Many-Splendored
Thing" and "Give Me the Simple Life" (can't help thinking about Campbell's
soup when I hear that, "At first it was strange/Coming home to the
range/But I've got a working wife/It's no big deal/Making our kind of
meal/So, give me the Campbell life!"  Must...bathe...now...), the Lady in
Cement really cooks!  It cooks so hard, I am almost afraid to see the movie.

I grew up among a bunch of soundtracks and to this day have not seen
"Mackenna's Gold" or "The Big Country", but still know the tune to "Old
Tucky Buzzard" and two of the Big Country's songs (incidentally, who told
United Artists it would be a good idea to record the album in same bathroom
that they used for "The Mountain's High" by Dick and Dee Dee and then pull
the midrange out?)

The sound on the CD's is mostly pristine.  If they got it from disc, I
cannot tell.  These babies are clean.

Lastly, I couldn't and wouldn't have gotten it save two things:

1. Rampant good taste on the list.
2. Rampant Jack Diamond.  I have never had anything but smooth transactions
from him.  He delivers.  Thank you!

Brian Phillips

P.S. Before any talk starts, Mr. Diamond and I live in separate states, are
not related (much to the relief of Diamond himself) and I am in no business
arrangement with him.  I am just a happy customer.

Brian,
Thanks for the review of the Bedazzled/Lady In Cement cd.  I had been
avoiding this one as someone had remarked that it had pretty poor vinyl to
digital sound, but it seems now that this was not the case.  EXCELLENT cause
both of those LPs are KILLER.

As far as seeing the film Lady In Cement goes, you might not want to.  I am a
huge Sinatra fan, but I hate that film.  It's very homophobic with two
caricature gay characters.  Also the plot is stolen totally from Raymond
Chandler's "Lady In The Lake."  See a good Chandler based film noir instead.
One last note on the film, it's got several scenes that are pure filler.
Very disappointing.  If you wanna see a good Sinatra film check out "Some
Came Running" or "The Manchurian Candidate."

Can't wait to order me a copy of that CD now!

Larry

I've been picking up a few at a time.
Trend or not, I see maybe one other person a week with Hawaiian shirts.
Course, it may be more once summer officially rolls in.

More importantly, my son love's 'em as well.

Woohoo!

please don't be offended by this question, was this a real commercial or a
parody of Old Navy and the crazy stuff they come up with?  (e.g. cargo pants,
sleeveless vest, etc.)

 BTW- I've been pushing off getting this one for a while and I must say I

 Some will argue this is the best Denny comp, though I still prefer the
 UL/Capitol version for all the unreleased material (esp. Denny's
 fabulous recording of Taboo). But the EMI one is very, very strong.

 Kevin Crossman >>

this is a good comp but nothing really new here.  it is expensive at about 30
bucks once you add in shipping.  there is a good version of Black Orchid
which was lifted off of the Denny Live LP.

i recently copied this CD for a couple of Exotica newbies and I am waiting
for a response.

i would still side with Kevin, if you could only have one comp, I would go
with the UL.

dispite the comments, i like some of the UL releases.  sure it is repackaged
(and nicely) music from their vaults and was very consumer oriented but
that's business.
