Subject: (exotica) The Originals

Slightly off topic but there is a new edition (five years after the last
one) just out of this Belgian reference book. It attempts to find the
original first recorded version of wellknown songs, the current edition
boast more than 7,000 detailed entries. To boot they have a website up at
www.originals.be  but alas so far it is only in Dutch (an English version is
promised) and it seems to be used for additions on the new edition.
Check out their "wantlist" for help on discovering original versions.

Subject: (exotica) Thrift Store Finds

Hi All,

A visit to a local thrift shop netted me the following gems (well, I think
they are)

Tom Lehrer - Songs By Tom Lehrer 10". This replaces the poor condition copy
I own.

"Authentic Jamaican Calypso" 10" on MRS Records. This is great! One side
each by Lord Messam and His Calypsonians and Babba Motta and His Orchestra.
This must be an old disc as the notes mention that they have over 40 titles
on 78 rpm records.

Fred Kaz - "Eastern Exposure" Atlantic Records. A nice jazz release with
Arabic/Exotic flourishes.

Leon Redbone - "On The Tracks".

Roger Miller - "Golden Greats". When I was a kid, I loved his songs and
still do. They're all here: "King of the Road", "Dang Me" and "You Can't
Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd".

Fishin' in a watermelon patch,

Allan

What is it with sixties records and marches?
I just got this very cool record (via ebay, the worst and best news around).
Hefti in Gotham City.
Pretty well what you'd expect or hope.
Cool instrumentals that aren't from Batman but could have been.
And almost every single cut is either very very cool or pretty cool.
But the first cut is called "Gotham City Municipal Swing Band" and if I
could program the LP to never play this cut again, I would.
It's just some crappy marching band piece.
I can't give you any other examples right now but I know this isn't the
first time I've experienced this.  Or the hundredth either.  It seems like
a lot of records have at least one fake marching band number.
Who did they do this for?  Did marching band records sell better than I
remembered?  Or was this something they did because it was fun for drummers?
Anybody know?

LOL - it's funny you say that because that was the one track that my buddy
(into sci-fi stuff and comic book hereos) went absolutely NUTS for when I
found him that album a few years ago.

Why?  Well, anybody that was living in the San Francisco Bay Area in the
late 60s / early 70s will recognize that track as part of the opening titles
to Bob Wilkins CREATURE FEATURES on KTVU, Channel 2.  Bob would play bargin
basement horror flicks on his show.  Became quite the cult classic.  My
friend loved Bob Wilkins!

Now, tell us about UTDS.  Up The Down Staircase  :)

I stumbled across the following Swedish promotional site for a brand of
yoghurt called FjΣllfil. a few weeks back and wanted to share. It's
basically a editing interface that lets you create musical videos
starring a stop-action animated cow. You'll need a Shockwave plugin and
plenty of bandwidth to really get jiggy wit' it, but once you've
mastered its quirks, you'll be composing scandinavian bovine Disco,
HipHop, and Hσrdrock in no time!

LONDON (AP) - Russ Conway, a British pianist known as the ``Prince Charming=
 of
Pop'' who sold more than 30 million records in the 1950s and '60s, has died=
 at
age 75.=20

Conway, who had cancer, died Thursday at a hospital in Eastbourne, southern
England, his spokesman Michael Thornton said.=20

The pianist had 17 consecutive hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and=
 won
a silver disc when his record ``Roulette'' topped 250,000 sales - a total
rapidly equaled by three other hits, ``Sidesaddle,'' ``China Tea'' and=
 ``Snow
Coach.''=20

Conway's formal piano education consisted of one lesson at age 4.=20

He left school at 14 and got work in a lawyer's office. But he was sent to
juvenile detention for three years for taking money he found in a package.=
 In a
detention center, he found a piano to play.=20

Conway served in the Royal Navy during World War II in mine-sweeping=
 operations
in the Aegean and the Mediterranean. He was decorated for gallantry and
devotion to duty.=20

After the war he served in the merchant navy and took jobs as a salesman,
machinist and barman. While doing a stint as a pianist in a club, he was
discovered by choreographer Irving Davies. He went on to provide piano
accompaniment to a string of singers.=20

Soon he was composing the songs that made him famous and won him the=
 nicknames
``Prince Charming of Pop'' and the ``Sheik of the Keyboard.''=20

His career declined in the 1970s but he later toured provincial theaters,
usually playing to packed houses.=20

In 1990, he discovered he had cancer of the stomach, which he appeared to
overcome after treatment. He established the Russ Conway Cancer Fund,=
 producing
annual shows to raise money for cancer-related charities. Conway's own=

later returned.=20

He did not marry. There was no immediate word of survivors or funeral plans.=

Curt Siodmak Dies at 98; Created Modern 'Wolf Man'
By DOUGLAS MARTIN
Curt Siodmak, the novelist, screenwriter and film director who wrote the
1941 film "The Wolf Man," which gave new form to the ancient myth of a man
turning into a wolf, adding riveting details like silver bullets, died Sept.
2 at his ranch in Three Rivers, Calif. He was 98.

His obituary was delayed to research his full role in the creation of the
modern image of the werewolf. But "The Wolf Man" was only a drop in a vast
outpouring of work that included at least 40 film credits in the United
States and 18 in Europe, dozens of novels and hundreds of essays, articles
and short stories.

His 1943 novel "Donovan's Brain," about a disembodied brain with malicious
intentions, became a cult favorite and is still in print. It was produced on
radio by Orson Welles and in the 1940's, 50's and 60's was the acknowledged
basis for three movies, as well as for perhaps 50 more that appropriated the
basic idea, according to Mr. Siodmak's count.=20

Yet it was "The Wolf Man" that was honored with a stamp by the United States
Post Office three years ago, and it was that movie Mr. Siodmak chose to
commemorate when he picked the title for his autobiography, "Wolf Man's
Maker: Memoir of a Hollywood Writer," to be published by Scarecrow Press
next month.

"In my screenplay I delineated a character that has haunted people's
fantasies for 2,000 years," he wrote.

He brought to the task a style that caused many to call him the King of B
Movies, forever lavishing lycanthropic legend on the hirsute character
played by Lon Chaney Jr.

"Most of what is today considered standard werewolf lore actually originated
with Siodmak in this picture and its two sequels," said the International
Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers. "He invented the famous four-line verse
(`Even a man who's pure in heart') and the business about silver bullets and
full moons."

From Mr. Siodmak's perspective, the tale was a metaphor for his own flight
from the horrors of Nazi Germany.=20

"I am the Wolf Man," he said in an interview last year in Written By, the
magazine of the Writers Guild of America, west. "I was forced into a fate I
didn't want: to be a Jew in Germany. I would not have chosen that as my
fate. The swastika represents the moon. When the moon comes up, the man
doesn't want to murder, but he knows he cannot escape it, the Wolf Man=
 destiny."

Born in Dresden on Aug. 10, 1902, Kurt (as his name was originally spelled)
Siodmak began to confide the thoughts of a lonely child to paper at an early
age, publishing his first short story in a children's magazine when he was=
 9.

He worked as a train engineer, earned a doctorate in mathematics and began
reporting for a Berlin newspaper. One of his first assignments was an
article on the movie that Fritz Lang was secretly producing,
"Metropolis"(1926). He and Henrietta de Perrot, who later became his wife,
signed on as extras.

Mr. Siodmak became part of the German Hollywood, the filmmaking center of
Babelsberg in suburban Berlin. There, in 1929, he worked on the film
"Menschen am Sonntag," or "People on Sunday," which became known as a
masterwork of neorealism even though it predated the neorealism movement.=20

The movie became an instant hit in Germany, and soon Mr. Siodmak and his
brother Roger, who directed the film, as well as collaborators who included
Billy Wilder, had generous contracts from Erich Pommer, the legendary
producer of "The Blue Angel" and other movies. But suddenly the full terror
of Hitler obscured everything and became a source of Mr. Siodmak's images of
horror.

Mr. Siodmak fled to France, then England. In 1937, he joined 1,500 other
filmmakers from Babelsberg in Hollywood. His first on-screen credit in the
United States was "Her Jungle Love" (1938) with Dorothy Lamour, for
Paramount. Then, in 1940, he was hired to work on the screenplay for "The
Invisible Man Returns" with Vincent Price. "I fell into a groove," he said.

He went on to write a series of highly original films. "I Walked With a
Zombie" (1943) is considered a horror film classic, seen by critics as a sly
adaptation of Charlotte Bront=EB's "Jane Eyre" set on a Caribbean island=
 with
voodoo, music and zombies. But Mr. Siodmak said he never read the book.

In "The Beast With Five Fingers" (1946), Peter Lorre stars in the story of a
man at odds with a disembodied hand that tries to strangle him. The other
characters cannot see the hand, which in a haunting scene plays a piano. Mr.
Siodmak said the hand represented the character's conscience playing tricks
on him.

Among other films he wrote were "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" (1943),
"Son of Dracula" (1943), and "The Magnetic Monster" (1953).

Besides "Donovan's Brain," Mr. Siodmak's novels included "Hauser's Memory"
(1968), which was filmed in 1970. Two others, "Skyport" (1959) and "City in
the Sky" (1974), partly inspired the film adaptation of Ian Fleming's
"Moonraker" in 1979.

Mr. Siodmak is survived by his wife, Henrietta, and a son, Geoffrey, of
Bonsall, Calif.

Of all the millions of words Mr. Siodmak wrote, he readily acknowledged that
the most famous come from "The Wolf Man":

Even a man who's pure in heart

And says his prayers at night

May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms

And the autumn moon is bright.

"That four-liner has been attributed to `Gypsy folklore,' " he wrote in his
autobiography. "I made it up. That's how folk history is made."

The Music Man was a very popular musical and as a 1962 motion picture was
also quite popular.  I would attribute the "trend" to this.

Subject: RE: (exotica) modern orchestral covers

The thing about this was that it was the real thing,  Senor Coconut (quality
aside) seems to be created by sampling and synthesising, whereas this was An
Actual Orchestra and A Real Guitarist doing their stuff,  It could have been
recorded any time from 1950 onward.  Material aside.
It takes me back to something I think Mo said about the Sr Coconut LP, a
good song transcends genre and can be realised many ways.  And I never
thought I'd think that about a D:ream song.
Still like to know who it might be though.
Oh and on the subject of Senor Coconut, there seems to be another LP 'gran
baile' is that right?  whats that about, then?

Cheers

Hello there,

If any of you guys visit Copenhagen in the near future you should definitely
stop by the used-records shop "Accord" on Osterbrogade 84.
In the basement of this shop you will find a collection of maybe 500 LPs
from the late 50ies and early 60ies of Polynese, Hawaiian, Mexican and Latin
music. The prices vary from 15 Danish kroner (US$ 2) to 60 Danish kr (US $
6). It's the remains of a collection originally maintained by Greve (Count)
Christian a member of the Danish royal family!!! It's unusual to see such
stuff on these shores - not to speak of the shear number...

best regards

Niels

Hiya all

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any books dealing with, well,
exotica (whether they tag the subject as "exotica" or not, and including
ye-ye), preferably in English.  I remember one Italian listmember wrote a
Tiki-culture one, but I don't speak Italian!

I'm doing a bit of research for a project and any help would be very much
appreciated.   I'd also be interested in hearing what people's favourite
album covers are as well...

Thanks muchly!

Subject: RE:(exotica) exotica(ish) books

These are  titles culled from several e-mails back when we were coming up
with book lists:

Ultra Lounge
Elevator Music (Joseph Lanza)
Exotica (David Toop)
Forever Lounge
MusicHound Guide to Lounge
Incredibly Strange Music V 1 & 2 (Research)
Widening the Horizon
Exotiquarium
Beats of the Heart
Vinyl Junkyard
....another one on cool record covers but I forget the title...

   The Research comp's are a must have. The Lanza is a history and also most
highly recommended.  'Widening' is academic essays.  'Beats' is about
foreign music- good chapter on India and film music.
The others are more like guides and picture books. 'Forever Lounge'
is a 'laid back price guide' but I don't think its that succesful.

   In fact what is badly needed is a guide along the lines of those
paperbacks you get in the bookstore like "45's from '57-90" or whatever,
packed with info on an artist, all their releases and maybe an attempt at a
price guide (or a star system like in the All Music Guides which are a big
help to the casual browser)...or guides like the English bloke (correct me
if I'm wrong here) who does the psychedelic and the indie rock
discographies...
     So...any takers?

I can't believe, why would a publisher not put out at least an English version of such a book. He could sell 10 times
more copies...

Lisa Carbon is one of my particular favorite side projects of his, a good style for referencing sambas and bossa novas. And don't forget Erik Satin, who is also Uwe Schmidt. That's his own version of easy deconstruction, a more messed up, damaged kind of thing akin to what Tipsy does. I might have posted a link to a review of El Baile Aleman I wrote but it's not an article.

Subject: (exotica) More Schlager

Schlager report - part two:

I finally got my long awaited Bear Family order. Other than the Perez Prado
two-fer Voodoo Suite-Exotic Suite that is really amazing and highly
recommended, two more Schlageresque gems arrived:

Andy Fisher - A Man in the Woods - Best known for Mr. Cannibal, he's a kind
of wacky singer/humourist who uses lots of carnival type pipe organ which
I'm rapidly finding almost as addictive as those fat Hammond sounds!

Twist in Germany - A comp of 60's Twists including Chubby Checker, almost
all in German. Its companion - Surf in Germany, is on the next order!

The order came with a new catalogue with had among other things two volumes
of film music, one by Martin Bottcher and the other Gert Wilden.  Also a
small section on Indian (American) and John Wayne style western things done
in German.  Of course now that I've heard Johnny Cash singing I Walk the
Line in German nothing surprises me!

No I didn't hear that one.  I'd bet he wouldn't have if Greg were with him
though!  But I can surely relate to this one.  Last time we were in Chicago
on a stopover we took the train downtown.  We transferred trains to go to
the North side from downtown but somehow ended up on a westbound train.  We
got off to switch and go back but realized we would have to go down to the
ground and then up to the platform on the other side.  When we looked down
we saw lots of empty looking buildings and some not so friendly people
waiting below on each corner holding up the lamp posts.  We got on the next
train and went 3 or 4 stops further in the same direction to where we could
cross to the other side without leaving the platform!  Don't get me started
on Detroit...

Subject: (exotica) Schlagernacht

Its been some time since we've gone back to this topic so...  Moritz sent
me a two part (3 hrs each) TV series called Schlagernacht on
videotape.  One part featured the 60's and the second the 70's.  He'd
warned me it would make the WFMU "That's Irritainment" tape I have look
tame in comparison.  Well I've finally got it transferred from PAL and made
it through part 1 and what an amazing picture of Germany in the 60's!!!  I
can now attach an image to many of those songs I've listened to!

I suspect the 70's part will bring disco and much higher level of
"irritainment" but I'm looking forward to it. I realize that this is
tantamount to Chinese water torture for many but for those of you out there
(and you know who you are) with like interests, take my word for it.. its
worthy of the best of those Jack Diamond superlatives!!!

Cruising ebay this morning, I spy a new buyer - there's a (0) after the
name - calling themselves "mondoexotica".  Fess up.  Is it one of you?  I
was going to bid against them but I won't if someone comes forward.  (I
shouldn't anyway.  Just "won" five more yesterday.)

You may have heard this already, but I just realized that the song that Rob
and Laura are dancing to on the episode of the Dick Van Dyke show that has
him attempting to keep Laura from watching an interview he did on TV
(inhaaaale), is none other than "Mambo Jambo", which I just re-heard on the
Ultra-Lounge site.

One of the selections that you can hear on the site is the "Peter Gun
Suite", which is nice, because I like some of  Hennry Manncinni's music.

Some? Some!! ( just kidding)

Speaking of Henry Mancini. His only "Exotica" record is "The Versatile Henry Manciniö on Liberty Records. Darrell plays it on his show once in a while.  He did make a Hawaiian Record years later on RCA. WhatÆs that like? Is it really too easy?  Not a big fan of some of his later stuff. He did a LP with Johnny Mathis and thatÆs pretty tame.

And he did the soundtrack for ôThe HawaiianÆsö the 2nd Mitchner Hawaii movie with Charlton Heston.

ThatÆs nice with only about 2 musical themes. Short. The LP is only about 30 minutes.
