Subject: (exotica) Katerine
Hello,
I'm afraid i don't know much about Katerine, like bio or personal tidbits or anything like that.
His first record is Les mariages chinois (1992), then he made Une education anglaise (94?), then Mes mauvais frequentations (96?) and last year he released two cds Les creatures and L'homme a trois mains.
One of his songs is the opening track in the Bungalow compilation Atomium 3003 ('Je vous emmerde') and he seems to move around quite a bit. And that track is IMO the best one in the CD. The lyrics are really funny (about a guy trying to impress a girl, telling her that he's a poet, and the girl being very fed up, the title can be translated as something like 'you annoy me')
From what I've heard his first two records are quite lo-fi-ish. Recorded with an eight track, they feature singing from Katerine's girlfriend and sister. And he also contributes but not that often. The third one has more of him singing as do the latest two.
Of the latest two Les creatures is quite well produced, with horn arrangements and glossy chorus in some of the songs. But then has some really noisy experimental tracks too, with tape experiments and mumbled phrases.
L'homme a trois mains is only Katerine singing with a guitar. In one of the songs I think I heard a sample of a Residents song, but I'm not sure. And has some bossa-novish guitar in there.
I also know that he sometimes writes songs for Kahimi Kairie and (as Alexander pointed out a while ago) has written and produced the latest Anna Karina album and also a group called Les soueurs Winchister.
That's all I know. If someone can expand, that would be great (or 'lovely' as some say).
Cheers,
Manuel

Subject: (exotica) Banned and blue
Hi again,
Just got a CD called Big banned and blue, that is supposed to be 'the original underground sound of forties clubland'. I was expecting something like Las Vegas Grind, really trashy instrumentals or some repetitive vocals and nothing else. What it is is some very traditional jazz arangements with VERY explicit lyrics.
It has a funny song, called Air for a Dinosaur, about (guess what?) dinosaur farts. But the music is so generic that it leaves me generally cold.
Has anyone heard this before. Any ideas where it comes from? The Cd was released in 1998 by something called One Step Music. And has some notes by a 'Durwood Douche'.
Cheers,
Manuel

I've heard a recording of Elvis Costello singing an old Burt Bacharach
song, "I Just Don't Know What to do With Myself." Obviously, it's not
from the "Painted From Memory" CD. Anyone know where this recording can
be found?
Thanks,

Woops. The "scoop" has been sitting on my coffee table for weeks. "Coco
Joe's collapse" is mentioned in the Exotic Products section of the lastest
issue of Tiki News (#16).
Guess I was right.

Choose a tree in the garden, get a chainsaw and follow your imagination...
Seriously: you could also use a material that at least here in Europe is called
Ytong. It's a sort of foam lime stone, easy to work with, you can just cut it
with saws and knives, but very durable, they build houses with it. If you paint
it black it actually looks like lava. If you finish it with the mortar-"glue"
that comes with it, you get a super hard stone surface. Ytong isn't even
expensive, probably even cheaper than wood.

If you look at the smallprint on the backside of the CD you'll find: Avanti Entertainment..., Roadrunner Records..., courtesy of The All Blacks B.V. plus a web address: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com .
I propose you go there to find out more.
I like the photos in that booklet; they show 40s girls in summer skirts performing strange practices somewhere between gym, torture and mattress acrobatics. The music leaves me cold though. I'm neither turned on nor offended by terms like "christmas blowjob". What's so special about blowing up a balloon?
The music on this CD is obviously newly recorded. The songs however seem to be old, but there are no composer credits. But I know there were songs in 40s jazz with those "explicit" lyrics. If you want a taste of the original music of that type check out http://www.gruenekraft.de . It's a book publisher who focuses on
subjects that anybody else wouldn't even touch with pliers, and who also put out a CD series called FlashBack on a label called Transmitter with the subjects High & Low, drug songs (TDC4), Geil & Sexy, copulation songs (TDC5), Crazy & Funny, novelty songs (TDC6), Gospel & Prayers, spiritual music (TDC7) and Blue &
Lonely, schmaltz music (TDC8). I guess TDC5 is what you're looking for. I have Crazy & Funny and High & Low, both are pretty amazing. I mean, singing about smoking pot in the 40s as if it was the most natural thing in the world... which it in fact was, of course!
