Subject: (exotica) Slushy Cups

I seem to remember as a kid there were these cups you could buy that you'd
put juice in and put 'em in the freezer.  Then, instead of freezing, they'd
turn into slushies.

Anyone remember these?
Anyone know where to get these?

I want one!

Yeah, I think I had an addiction. But ours were called slush mugs. You kept
the mug core in the freezer, then when you wanted a slush, you got it out
and put it in the outer insulator mug (a green one with a smiley face in
this case), and poured in your beverage of choice (usually Coca Cola). Stir
it around a while, and viola! Slush.

>Anyone know where to get these?

Erm, no.

I'd say watch the flea markets, but I bet an old one would be pretty
disgusting. Unless there are some NOS floating around.

And, if the list was called the Now Sound mailing list or the Crime Jazz
mailing list or whatever those folks would be snobs at those of us who
dig Lyman, Baxter, and Denny.

The point being, since it is called the Exotica list some (by no means
all) of us who celebrate the tiki tunes and polynesian pop really
treasure that kind of music -- and we sometimes get a little fidgety
when some of the other kinds of music are lumped into the "Exotica"
genre. Being a splitter, I don't mind the discussions and most folks do
understand the difference when exotica (with a small e) is used
generically and when Exotica (big E) is used specifically. Just making
sure the "correct" (IMHO) terms are used.

Kevin Crossman

Subject: (exotica) New Releases

Lots of interesting new stuff on the New Releases list of Forced Exposure
http://www.forcedexposure.com.


_____________________________________________
PARALLEL WORLD:

VA: Cambodian Rocks CD (PW CD6). CD reissue of the
popular mid-90s LP (long o/p), with 9 bonus tracks added.
"Unknown to exist until recently, these recordings from the
late 60s, early 70s Cambodian rock scene range from mad
garage-band rave-ups to mystic go-go organ/fuzz guitar, with
exotic female singers. Extremely sensual and emotionally
charged -- you'll hear echoes of Jimi, Janis, Seeds, Them,
and SF acid. Assembled by Paul Wheeler who went to
Cambodia and found these tapes which the locals called
'Circle Dance Music' without credits or song titles. These
late-60's/early 70's era songs have a sound that's completely
inexplicable despite the use of standard rock instrumentation
and song structures. Much of it sounds like The Ventures with
a Cambodian singer, and one singer getting funky with some
James Brown riffs, complete with J.B's trademark 'HUH'. One
of them even sounds like "Gloria" in Cambodian."  $13.50

_____________________________________________
SMELLS LIKE RECORDS:

HAZLEWOOD, LEE: The Cowboy & The Lady CD (SLR 041).
"Smells Like Records continues its Lee Hazlewood reissue
series with perhaps the strangest of Lee Hazlewood's recordings
- -- his album of duets with actress Ann-Margaret (star of Tommy,
Carnal Knowledge, Speedway, and The Flinstones). This 1969
odd gem was originally released as the debut LP on Lee's own
LH label, following several singles by Ann-Margaret and Lee,
Honey Ltd., and others. Lee Hazlewood took a break from his
songwriting frenzy of the late '60s to record this collection of
Hollywood/country epics about the sweetness and loss of love.
The duo perform songs such as 'Dark End of the Street' and
'Only Mama That'll Walk The Line' with utterly unique style --
archetypal, in fact, for Lee and Ann-Margaret. In addition, Lee
performs Tom Rush's 'No Regrets' solo, taking a cold, hard look
at the aftermath of love gone wrong in typical Hazlewood fashion.
Also included on this CD are four extremely rare songs from the
first two singles on LHI: 'Sleep in the Grass" and 'Chico' (a pair
of Hazlewood originals performed as duets with Ann-Margaret,
produced on par with his most baroque masterworks), were first
released as LHI-2; 'You Turned My Head Around' and 'It's A Nice
World To Visit (But Not To Live In)' are two slices of Nuggets-era
psych-pop sung by Ann-Margaret solo, possibly two of Lee's
rarest and strangest productions. These four songs have been
out of print since the time of their release and, along with The
Cowboy and The Lady, make their first Hazlewood-approved
appearance in 30 years."  $14.00

_____________________________________________
WHICH:

VA: Songs in the Key of Z CD (WHI 2367). "Outsider music
refers to a genre of audio exotica that in some ways is so
wrong -- it's right. Outsiders could be the product of supernatural
possession, damaged DNA, drug fry, or psychosis. These largely
self-taught artists may lack conventional tunefulness and self-
awareness, but they display an abundance of earnestness and
passion. And they're worth listening to, often surpassing all
contenders for inventiveness and originality. Music historian and
WFMU radio personality Irwin Chusid has produced a companion
CD to his forthcoming book, Songs in the Key of Z: the Curious
Universe of Outsider Music (A Cappella Books/Chicago Review
Press)." Artists featured on the CD: The Shaggs, Daniel Johnston,
Captain Beefheart, Tiny Tim, Wesley Willis,  Lucia Pamela, Peter
Grudzien, Jack Mudurian, Shooby Taylor The Human Horn, BJ
Snowden, Eilert Pilarm, Joe Meek, Sri Darwin Gross, Congress-
Woman Malinda Jackson Parker, Luie Luie, Legendary Stardust
Cowboy, Arcesia, Jandek & 'Dusty Roads' Rowe.  $12.00



ANDROMEDA (SWEDEN):

LUNDSTEN, RALPH: Elektronisk Musik 4CD (ACD 27-30).
"A somewhat unexpected foray into the early-electronic
retrospective scene, a 4CD set from this under-documented
(at least in the domestically available CD age) Swedish
composer, perhaps better known for a series of gnome and
prophet-shape-involving 70's synthesizer records than for his
proper oeuvre; his mid-60's electronic works, mysteriously
absent from recent activity-listings of 'electronic pioneers'.
>From 1959 onwards, Lundsten was working in relative obscurity,
nestled away in his 'Andromeda' studio in his Castle Frankenburg
in Saltsj=F6-Boo (outside of Stockholm), working the DIMI-O (a
custom synthesizer replete with camera and TV-monitor, which
produces sonics in an 'immaterial twelve-tone scale from the
empty air'), the DIMI-S (aka THE LOVE MACHINE, which
apparently 'generates sound and light by contact with the skin,
reacting to the emotional state of the performers') and various
other home-brewed devices in creating pre-space epics of
repetitive sound-motion. Whilst references to the 'folklore of
elves, trolls, wood-sirens and little people' do appear, the
complete tonal nature of included exercises veer closer to a
one-man canon of well-funded academic electronic ideas and
techniques, an undeniably awesome goal witnessing the
somewhat crude nature of his home studio technologies at
the time (as compared to the technologically overstocked
centers of the era such as EMS Stockholm). A well thought-
through item oozing with outsider murk, a must for all you
pre-73 electronic junkies out there. Essential." --

MAD DEADLY WORLDWIDE...:

GARLAND, JUDY: Speaks!: Celebrities at their Worst Vol. 2.5
2CD (DEC 09). "This 'interim' volume in the infamous Celebrities
series consists entirely of ultra-rare home voice tapes of 'America's
Sweetheart' ranting and raving near the end of her troubled life.
Super-agent Irving 'Swifty' Lazar gave her a tape recorder and told
her to dictate the autobiography which she never lived to write. At
this phase of her career Judy has just been ripped off for the
television show she never wanted to do, and plagued with ex-husband
Sid Luft's gambling debts and his trying to get custody of her
children -- and boy, is she pissed! The first disc is fairly
straightforward, extremely insightful autobiography -- which sets the
stage for the spewing of bile on the second disc. Judy yells, Judy
nods out from pills -- you get it all here on these never-heard
tapes, which were the subject of a recent A&E special."  $15.00

I picked up a copy of "African Jazz" today. It's in amazing shape, which

maybe an import? Or is this some sort of bootleg?

The other odd thing is that there is no record comapny logo anywhere
on it. No capitol logo, nothing. Weird.

Hey, what a great list this is!  I asked for a cover scan of George Cates'
Polynesian Percussion LP and several folks kindly and quickly responded.
Thanks to all of you for your generosity.

Though there's some sniping on the list at times let's not forget that we've
got some great folks here.

By the way, I also learned that 3 of us are digitizing the same Cates LP at
about the same time.  The truth is, we probably duplicate each others
efforts (i.e., LP to CD transfers) far more often then we realize.  I've
done several private exchanges with list members but I know there's way more
stuff floating around out there then I'm aware of.  It makes me real
curious.

If it is the one on a double CD with Tak Shindo then it is definitely a
boot (but, a really, really good one!).

None of Baxter's albums have been reissued on CD per se (even Ritual of
the Savage, sadly) by legit record companies (an oxymoron if there ever
was one).

Savor the boots you can find!

your post.
maybe i should have mentioned it, so, thank you.
must get more of his stuff.

when i get no response to something i mention, which is often, i usually

and yes, library music pops up regularly enough. as i usually mention, i
have quite a few bruton records and am always looking for the names of
others in that series that are interesting so i can go and purloin them.

Subject: (exotica) modern exotica?

A while ago someone said 'Where is modern exotica?'
One of the staff where I DJ on Thursdays has been bringing down CDR's of
'Arabic Spanish music'.  No titles or tracklists,  we've just got to know
them....'Oh yeah track 5 on this one,  track 2 on that'.  But recently they
actually bought down a shop bought CD by someone called Alabina.  Middle
eastern (Israeli I think rather than Arabic) and Spanish singing with
frantic Gipsy King style guitars and lots of percussion.  Goes down well.

So anyway,  I did a search for Alabina,  and found this site:
http://www.zilltech.com/MusicStoreDance.html
The 'Latin American Hits for Bellydancing' LP's look good, Theres some
Turkish bellydancing LP's that are intriguing.  Great old style Exotic
covers,  and the guy who did the page is obviously aware of Denny (even if
not a fan).

And Ronnie,  don't worry about being ignored,  I asked a question about the
surf band in a film and start a national Lampoon thread.  Although, Bless is
cotton socks Larre (whats wrong with Slurry Larry) did answer eventually.

A few months back Dusty Groove was selling an "African Jazz" LP
reissue which sounded very much like a boot.  A lot of the bootlegs
they sell faithfully re-create the original covers, but with the
record company logo/info carefully removed.

Lounge Festival 2000
Rome May 27th
Brancaleone, Via Levanna 11 - Roma - Italy

A festival dedicated entirely to Easy Listening with DJs and live music
will be held in Rome.  For several years this phenomenon has involved
many aspects of entertainment, from the recovery and presentation of
musical genres that have been ignored for many years, such as 60' & 70's
French and Italian film soundtracks to the screening of rare "pearls" of
the cinema.
This festival intends to show the different aspects of this phenomenon
in one evening.
The evening will begin with a concert by one the key composers in the
history of Italian film scores, Maestro Piero Umiliani.  Accompanied by
his quartet, Umiliani perform the most representative tunes of his
career, from
the "Soliti Ignoti" to "Svezia Inferno Paradiso," as well as the Lounge
music classic, "Mha-na Mah-na".
The evening will proceed with  the Italian band, Balanc=F2, from Bari, wh=
o
have risen in the Italian scene thanks to
their single, which sold thousands of copies internationally. Their
music definitely draws from cinematic influences and has a contemporary
beat.
The second half of the evening is dedicated to DJ sessions by DJs
Fez-File and, from Boston, Mr. Br. Cleve (from the noted Boston band:
Combustible Edison).
There will be records, collectibles, and period design vendor stands in
the other spaces near the main hall.  In addition, there will be a
Lounge style restaurant with music by Dr. Sr. Taylor, Masoch Club Dj,
Kawamurino, Vanni "W.Paul" Parmigiani and other guest dj's.
The evening is made possible by the organization of the international
publication "Il Giaguaro" and the Brancaleone.

That'll be "Exploration for Moog" from "Brass Menagerie 1973".  It's a
very incongruous Dick Hyman Moog track and I've never really understood
why it's there but I seem to remember it being pretty good - definitely
worth buying the LP for if it's reaonsably priced.  Oh, and "Season of
The Witch" on the same LP is worth having as well.

On that same "Brass Menagerie" LP form 1973 is what I consider to be a super
cool version of "MacArthur Park" and some funky kind of stuff.  (It's been a
while since I played it but I think "Shaft" is also on that LP.)  The LP was
released in Quad for all the quad fans out there.  And the Hyman moog piece
at the end is very eerrie.

This album, on vinyl, has definitely been reissued as a boot. I've seen it
in a couple of stores around Toronto. This might be what you have.

by the way, which is better: "Jungle Jazz" or "African Jazz"? (I don't have
the latter)

hope this helps.

That must be what I have. It's also a tip off that it's on
a modern, flimsy piece of light-weight vinyl.

They're both great (and I believe both feature Plas
Johnson on sax). If I had to choose, I'd lean toward
African Jazz - if only because of "Cairo Bazaar".

Apparently so:

Directed by George A Romero no less...

Whoa.........I know Romero filmed a "Seaon of the Witch" but I didn't =
think it was *that* well-known to have some one cover the tune!!!

There's gotta be another "Season of the Witch" as that film was obscure....=

As far as I know, it's primarily an old Donovan song.

Though maybe it was used in the Romero movie. It was also used (quite
effectively) in the closing credits of that Van Sant film, "To Die For"
(the one with Nicole Kidman as the weathergirl from hell).

As for "Brass Menagerie", I think it's pretty bitchin'. Now Sound
funkiness, punchy horns, sitar. Not a lunker at all, in my book.
