After all the anticipation associated with going through five or six
unplayable copies, I thought this would surely disappoint me.  But it
didn't.  Of course you have to have a thing for "choir" records like I do
but if you do,  this is a good one.
It really is what it says it is.  Lots of "oooohing" and not much else.  I
generally prefer wordless vocals especially when the alternative is the
kind of unison - harmony-less - singing that Ray Conniff and Percy Faith's
"singers" got into in the sixties.
The problem with this record, like many Jackie Gleason ones, is that it's
so quiet that you really do have to have a perfect copy to appreciate it.
It's like Jackie Gleason was a pioneer of "ambient" records or something.
And even this relatively quiet copy isn't quite quiet enough.
But I like it.  Relatively speaking of course.
Not the way I like the Anita Kerr singers but not everyone can be a genius.

Subject: (exotica) lyrics website

After being inspired by an excellent message from Ron Grandia (dunno if
he'll post his response to my post), I surfed the net looking for the lyrics
to "Somethin' Stupid" and found this gem of a site:

http://www.50megs.com/webfitz/

It has the lyrics to the top 100 Billboard hits from 1961-1972. No lyrics to
"Love Is Blue," of course. But I was very pleased to see the lyrics to "Mr.
Dieingly Sad," by the Critters. I'm surprised those folks on Siesta Records
haven't done a cover already...

I hope that only the most PC Asians would find it racist, especially given
that the racist nature of the joke is actually what the joke is about.
And I don't remember the name of the comedian.  (I never remember
comedians' names.)

>And will "Vinyl" ever play in San Francisco?

I hope so.
Yes it will.
By hook or by crook.
Worst comes to worst, I'll come to the list and ask you various
"tastemakers" if you know an "underground" cinema in your city that plays
stuff like this.  That's how it's travelling across Canada right now.
Yesterday someone absolutely made my day.  He told me he saw the film in
Vancouver but now he was home in London, Ontario and none of his friends
have seen the film.  And it's driving him crazy that he can't share the
experience with them.  So he asked me if it was all right if he set up a
weekend of screenings at the local art cinema.
I'd rather be rich but next to that, the best I could hope for was to make
a film that would get reactions like that.
On the other hand, the CMJ article says that I'm "bear-like" in shape.
When I winced at that, my sortof girlfriend said I was in denial.

Funny you should mention this tune.  I'm about to kill two birds with one
stone, so to speak, and make an exoticaring soft pop CD which starts with
that tune.  The reason it would kill two birds is because I also have to
make a housewarming CD for my friend Moe and he's been looking for that
song (and I got the record recently.)
It's not quite my idea of soft pop but it's close enough.

(Ben maybe you and I should start a mailing list for just the two of us and
not bother these good folks.)

Subject: (exotica) Twist All Night with Louis Prima

This Saturday night at 10:00pm and 4:00am (eastern), AMC is airing the 1961
twist-ploitation flick, "Twist All Night" (sometimes known as "The
Continental Twist"), starring Louis Prima, Sam Butera and the gang. No
Keely Smith though. June Wilkinson (!) is the female lead. Dunno if they'll
include the "Twist Craze" short subject or not.

Not too surprising since Prima and Keely were divorced the same year that this
film was made.

One can only hope that Louis' acting skills increased dramatically in the years
between "Hey Boy, Hey Girl" and "Twist All Night". I love Prima's music, but
the cornball plot and stilted dialogue had me looking for Mike Nelson and the
'Bots down in the front row cracking wise.

Yes. I have both as well as another library LP called "Music for Fun" on
Mondiophone. On this last one all of the 24 pieces are just over 1 minute
long. I remember reading somewhere that he did a huge number of library
records. Of course what comes first to mind with all of these records is
Perrey and Kingsley but that should come as no surprise.  All three of them
seem to have been done with Nino Nardini.  BTW, does anyone know if this is
the same Nini Nardini of Desco fame?  I always assumed that CD was yet
another fake like Soul Ecstasy but I may have been wrong.

Subject: (exotica) Strange Napaster finds

Funny to be reporting strange Napster finds but yes even this hotbed of
much mainstream  music has its moments.  Anyway, I thought I'd heard it all
with Hugo Strasser, Germany's own answer to Lawrence Welk,  doing a
psychedelic sounding cover of "Black Magic Woman".  Then I found the LP it
came from and it had an even stranger version of "Indian Reservation"
(which appeared recently on Nymphomania vol.3) and is in my opinion at
least better than the original. Well in a recent Napster search I turned up
an MP3 of Hugo doing "School's Out"!!! I mean Hugo Strasser covering Alice
Cooper!!! Those drugs must have been some powerful in the 70's, that's all
I can say!  So if you see this piece on Nymphomania Vol. 4, if and when it
appears, you can say that you heard about it here first...

If I were to make the argument AGAINST biff, bam and zoom, Jackie Gleason
would not be my first choice of an artist to make it with.  Maybe Percy
Faith or Michel Legrand or Nelson Riddle or even Les Baxter, but not Jackie.
So if you don't like Jackie's records, you won't get an argument from me.
Personally I usually prefer his record COVERS to his records.
Having said that, bif bam and zoom do get tiring sometimes and at those
times, I need the kind of rest that "ooooh" can provide.

No, but Disney does sell custom CDs where you can make your own CD with
music from many of the rides and attractions. LOTS of cool Tiki Room
stuff to be had -- I made myself a great "Adventureland" cd with tiki

I'm not sure if this thread is totally on-topic, but
I'm really enjoying it. Perhaps more off-topic, but
related: how about that organ vamp that precedes a
shouted "CHARGE!" at sporting events? Not so much that
six note figure right before the shout, but the vamp
before. Somebody should be making major residuals...

How amusing that this should come up! This morning i received an envelope
stuffed with 60's music press clippings, and one of them was about the fact
that the BBC radio dj's weren't allowed to play Jacky because of the
'offensive' lyrcis mentioning 'phoney virgins' and 'real queens'. and when
Scott went on tv to promote it, he had to sing a different song!
didn't they have 'beep' machines in those days, or alternate 'family
friendly' lyrics, like they have to come up with nowadays?
Bizarre...

Oh, you don't want to see it - believe me.  It was quite the
disappointment.  And the "tiki with the red eyes" who rises up in the
middle of the show to threaten the birds scared the living daylights out
of Alexander (who was 3 at the time).  Not an enjoyable experience, to
say the least - they should just shut it down and put it out of its
misery, if they don't want to change it back to the original, if you ask
me...

truly, Citizen Kafka, in at least 2 segments, but the piece has been
shortened from a projected feature of about 20 minutes down to a short 8
minutes, so I may be lying on the cutting room floor (actually in the
uncharted silicon darkness of raw video footage deep inside a hard drive
in CBS's editing suite). If you see a bald guy in a Hawaiian shirt with
no front teeth, that's me!

Anyway, it's still worth a look, since Pat's home/museum is unique; over
50,000 78 rpm records, tons of strange and wonderful artifacts, and Pat
himself. They shot this over several weeks and really did an in-depth
job, so we'll see what's left! Tape it if you're sleeping that early...

take care,

citizen kafka

Who was the masochist (look who's talking) who was waiting for me to make a
Little Marcy CD.  Well it's done.  Lots of ticks, pops and skips but with
Little Marcy, when the record skips, you thank Jesus.
So who was it?  I'll make you a copy if you come forward in public.

That was me! *I think* I actually posted a message to the effect that we'd
chip in to buy you a CDR just so you could make a Little Marcy CD. Tried
looking for it in my saved e-mail messages, but couldn't find it.

The purpose of my making these CDs is to get rid of records, not acquire
new ones, however clean and playable they may be.  Like I said, Little
Marcy is one of the few artists who actually benefits from the odd skip or
pop.
Anyway the CD is 60 minutes - 40 cuts - of Little Marcy mostly singing
about her best friend Jesus or her worstest friend the Devil, with a few
minutes of nursery rhymes.  Then there's cut 41 which is side one of
"Little Marcy visits Smokey Bear", a musical journey crying out for a
Broadway revival.  (Maybe Barney could play Marcy.)
Anyone want a copy, write me privately.  (As long as there aren't too many
of you.)

I was browsing through the other email groups at egroup and I found this

And someone shared a record cover and I wanted to know if it is what I
think it is.
I'm not sure you'll be able to access this url but here goes...

Scroll down to the record that says "cha cha in Bavaria".
Now, is that guy about to strangle her?

Just to add: I've gone and asked my colleagues on the Association of Asian
American Studies mailing list, but no answers yet... someone did write in to
say that it's also used in Carl Douglas's "Kung-Fu Fighting." How could I
have forgotten that? "Everybody was kung-fu fighting / [nine-note phrase] /
Everybody was fast as lightning..."

Wowàsee Astroslut on the studio cam. We donÆt need no stinkinÆ Val Myers. I know for sure that some list members will be listening and watching! Moi?? IÆll be there and in the flesh! Thanks for posting.

We have a great neo-lounge scene going on here in Boston. ôSeks Bombaö will be at the Lizard Lounge this Wednesday and next Saturday ôLars Vegasö..so I assume we will be able to see them too.

IÆm not sure ôLars Vegasö has been mentioned on the list. Imagine a modern day beatnik backed up by a nine piece jazz band with lots of horns and some vibes. They just sent me their older CD which sounds a lot there new one, ôSmokinö. Nice stories about a narcissistic gym lounger named ôSy  Sperlingö, A guy  trying to pick up a girl in ôPeteÆs Broasted Chickenö and ôIndiansö  a song about people who discriminate against Indians yet furnish their homes with authentic Navaho rugs.

www.larsvegasus.com

ItÆs the only group I know of that gets played on the punk program ôTwo Minute Warningö hosted by my friends The Crippler and the Porno Queenàand on ôMartinis with Manciniö!

ôPunk and Lounge..creating a new world order!ö
