I flipped over this when King Kini (where is he, anyway?) played his
version
of Danke Schoen on his show. That song rocks. The rest of the album was
pretty straight-forward organ music. Oh, if you are familiar with the
Plunderphonic work of John Oswald, this album also has the cut he used on
the first Plunderphonic disc.
But my memory is that there are a couple great cuts and a bunch of regular
organ stuff.
So far, my topper is Electrodynamics. Also, no matter what anyone else
says, Man from ORGAN is pretty durn good.

What's the word on the "Genius of Esquivel" record on RCA from 1966? It

*It is my humble opinion that ANY esquivel album is worth whatever price that it is marked!! Well....upon further consideration...maybe not ANY price, but I think for $9 you would definately be getting your moneys worth!
Hey - Has anyone heard about the Esquivel movie, or know possibly when it is due to be released?? I was reading about it in the last issue of Cool & Strange, which I seem to have misplaced. All I remember is that they have cast John Leguziamo as Esquivel....can anyone add to that??

i have very successfully de-warped 78s by using a microwave oven with a
turntable (appropriate) in the past.
you have to get the album heated up just enough to make it floppy and then
set it on a flat, smooth surface to cool.
you do not need to get the record real hot. just a little.
buy some cheap records to experiment on.

Russ asked:
"Where can I get this "Cool and Strange" magazine? I am also interested in any lounge/retro/swinger print mags."
Russ, I know you can find some info on subscriptions to this mag at their website...www.coolandstrange.com They put out some interresting stuff...sometimes it can be pretty lame though too, for instance, I can't think of one single soul who would want to collect high school band records!! But, it is an informative and interresting mag and can point you in the right direction for some good stuff.
I might also check out Lounge magazine. I'm not real sure if that is still in print or not...maybe someone else on the list knows though...I couldn't find any online sites for that one.
Good luck!

Subject: (exotica) recent scores: New York
I thought I'd post what I scored on my recent trip to New York, which was
great. It's an amazing city, though pricey. I stayed with my brother to cut
costs but it was still expensive. American dollars are cruel to the average
canuck. still, i'd go back in a shot...
The WFMU show was well attended. I payed extra to get in early and am glad I
did: when the doors opened for regular price admission it was a bloody zoo.
I was able to trade about $55 worth of records to defray costs. The
following were mostly purchased at the WFMU show, others were gotten at a
SoHo fleamarket, and others at a couple of shops (try "Rockit Scientist
Records" in Soho - good spot).
"Provacative Electronics" - Emerson Myers and Associates (high-brow
electronic stuff from late 60's. quite good in places).
"Strange To Your Ears" - Jim Fassett (good, but not as good as I was led to
believe).
"Rider On The Rain" OST - Francis Lai (one or two good tracks)
"Hello-Goodbye" OST - Francis Lai (two good tracks)
"The Sound of Sight" - Ray Martin and Orchestra (orchestra with sound
effects etc. not bad)
"They Call Me Mr. Tibbs" OST (reissue) - Quincy Jones
"Gordon's War" OST (reissue)
"The People Next Door" OST - Don Sebesky (film with hippies and drugs, a few
great tracks)
"The Poets" - The Poets (British psych band, good in places)
"Mirage" OST - Quincy Jones (more of a mid-60's sound, quite good in places)
"Diamond Mercenaries" OST - Georges Gavarentz (70's groove, good).
"The Unexplained: Electronic Musical Impressions of the Occult" - 'Ataraxia'
a.k.a. Mort Garson (good for the most part, in the same vein as Black Mass
Lucifer).
Test Card Music lp: 'electronia' & 'hair raisers' (moog stuff on one side,
late 60's backround film sounds on the other. a good record)
"Jungle Jazz" - Les Baxter
"John and Mary" OST - Quincy Jones (shite, save for one 0.k. track. it was
dirt cheap though.)
"Warning Shot" OST - Si Zentner (crime jazzy, really good in spots)
"Themes For New Provocative Films" - Leroy Holmes (not bad).
"Psychotic Reaction" - The Fire Escape (psych lp, has a hilarious track
about an acid trip and an experimental freakout track, the rest are so-so
covers of Seeds and Question mark etc.)
"His Wife's Habit" OST - Jim Helms (film about a junkie houswife and her
quests for kicks. not bad)
"Beat Jazz" (cd) - various beat tracks from 60's/ late 50's
"Cambodian Rocks" - cambodian psych from the late 60's, early 70's.

Sob... boo hoo... oh, the shame. Sniffle... and I was so happy to have found one with "Incantation And Dance". I'm... I'm going to my room now.
Actually, there is a contingent of school band fans on here -- we had a thread a little while back. It may be an acquired taste, I will admit. But worth it, say I!
We still love you.

Bunnycupps, you gotta watch out when you make generalizations, esp. in this forum! In other words, I *know* I'm not the only member of this list who collects school band, summer camp, talent show, etc. records. In fact, people on the exoticaring music-swap thingy will have the treat of listening to a HS band performing Hey Jude.

I gotta point agree with m.ace. I read the school band music threads on this
list and picked up a few for 25/50 cents and felt it was money well spent!
There's lots of them in the thrifts, they're cheap and you will be asstounded by
the reckless variety in music chosen to be remade
