Knowing what little I know about Blondie's history, Chris Stein was ill for
an extremely long time, so the fact that he is able to get up on stage at
all must do quite a lot of hearts good.  Young, old, I don't much care, as
long as I enjoy the music.  Me, I was in a band for a little while and had
the time of my life and I am 37 (which is downright decrepit in "Wild in
the Streets" years).  Although bad looks would have spared me Christopher
Cross' music....

Subject: (exotica) Bimbo Jet

First time I found something in the internet on Bimbo Jet:


BIMBO JET made an imprevisble link between disco and Cuban/spanish cha
cha. This is the result of the immagination of Claude MORGAN, a young
producer in the 70's. He traditionnal toured the french label in order
to propose them his title, and he met Laurent ROSSI. Oooh, yes that name
surely tell you someting....that's the son of TINO ROSSI. Laurent
immediatly saw the commercial impact of this song and recorded it with
studio musicans...an few hours later, "El bimbo" is in the box. Out in
june 1974, at summer time, the title is performed so much it's
impossible not to hear it. More then 1,3 million selling in France. But
the success break out the frontiers in europe, and even in UK or the
States, where it climbed into the Charts. The song popularity is dued to
it's speciafical dance (a concept that re-appers later with the lambada
for i.e), and to his slang word..."bimbo" (aka Bitch). That song openned
the way to other people such as The CHOCOLATE's in 1975 or The TWO MAN
SOUND "Quel tal tropical".....



The mystery goes on....

regardless of how great it was in the past.
they and we must still be able to FEEL the spirit of what they are doing.
if the magic does not pass thru us then it is just overweight decrepit rock
stars on stage pathetically holding on to a dead dream, however if they are
truely rocking out then it is an incredible thing...
right now my favorite rock stars are 50+ in years...Question Mark  (+ his
Mysterians)
and Jim Dandy (of Black Oak Arkansas). both still rockin' hard + blowing
away most of the  youngsters
i see and hear today.

don't sweat the personal attacks!
just like Blondie preached back in the day, DIE YOUNG, STAY PRETTY!
maybe she should have taken her own advice, i don't know.

you GO with the Coffin Joe!!!

i have seen only 3 of his films  including the two you mention but my
favorite one so far is
Awakening of the Beast. probably the most bizarre film i have ever seen.
its like Jodorowsky having sex with Bunuel while Kenneth Anger films them.
another good mexican freakshow is Snake People
with Boris Karloff. (with rather creepy exotic soundtrack)
footage with Boris was shot by Jack Hill (Coffy, Pit Stop, Spider Baby)
while the twisted
neatherworld scenes are done by a mexican director/film crew.
very interesting clash of filmculture.

That's a reasonable assertion. It shouldn't be too hard to find a copy of "El
Bimbo" a nice latinized disco rekkid with great background wordless vocals.
It falls into my informal "Disceau" category...JB

Subject: Re: (exotica) my new years resolution-stop going off-topic

Apologies to all for yet another off-topic posting. After this, I'm
going to shut up and play with my Christmas presents for a couple of
weeks and let the list return to some semblance of normalcy.

Alan Zweig wrote:

>You had me, then you lost me.  I'm sorry you took it as a personal
attack.

I have no beef with you, Alan. I don't mind people who actually take the
time to lay out their opinions in a rational and well-considered way.

My comments were directed to DJJimmyBee who most thoughtfully
characterized my opinions as "fucked" and then went on to make a couple
of what I considered to be rather snotty personal comments. Maybe he had
his tongue firmly buried in his cheek as well, but I couldn't tell. I
should have quoted his response when posting my reply. Too much eggnog
sloshing around in my brain, I guess. Sorry.

>On the other hand, you can't ask people not to attack you in one breath
and
>then in the next breath belittle and mischaracterize their opinions.

True, but remember that I was belittling Jimmy's opinions...not
yours...B-)

>My point is that I don't think that playing rock n roll is synonymous
with
>"acting like teenagers".

Nor do I necessarily, but most performers tend to evolve over time and
very few can do what they did at 25 when they turn 50. R. Moritz did a
far better job than I did of summing up my depression at seeing Debbie
Harry abandon what I thought was a very promising new musical direction
in order to rehash her glory days with Blondie. I saw Ms. Harry perform
many times and even met her at a Bomp Records party back in the late
70s. I was shocked by her appearance the other night. It's hard to let
go of your youthful images of people. If that's my bad, so be it...I'm
not going to spend a lot of time agonizing over my opinion of a
celebrity who I'm sure couldn't give a rat's ass what I think of her.

>Nobody should be made to feel like they don't have the right to go see
a band.

I agree, and as far as I know, I never said or implied anything like
this. It truly makes no difference to me if Blondie makes a bazillion
dollars off their current tour and album, but none of that money will be
coming from me.

>It bothered me when you criticized Debbie Harry for being overweight.
You
>get older, most people gain weight.  Women get fat.

I criticized Debbie for doing something that, in my opinion did not show
her in the best possible light, and I know a lot of middle-aged women
who aren't fat in the slightest and wouldn't be too happy to hear you
generalize like that!

>But you mentioned that she'd gotten fat.  What's that got to do with
the
>material she was singing?  You're saying that it somehow makes it worse

>that she sang Blondie material with extra weight on her belly?

I was unhappy to see some of my fondest teenage memories thrust into the
harsh spotlight of time and I was depressed by a band that doesn't seem
to have anything new to say after 20 years. I'd also seen some photos of
her taken last year and she'd clearly gained a bunch of weight since
those pics were taken. Imagine Bettie Page coming out of retirement
today to do a Playboy spread. No doubt there are some people who'd
really enjoy it, but I wouldn't. Would that somehow make me a bad
person?

>And everything is political.

Only because we live in a society where everything is rapidly becoming
politicized, which I feel is quite unfortunate. I think that older
people should be free to do whatever they want unless it threatens my
health or personal well-being, but I also reserve the right to criticize
those activities if they choose to perform them in the public eye.

BTW, Clem Burke looked GREAT!

Ok, I'm outta here...

These are stock music cues from the Chappell Music Library. This
particular stock music library is the best for vintage suspense
and crime related music. We use a lot of it in our Weekend Pussy

Subject: (exotica) Music to be born to, music to die to

This is one of the coolest articles I've ever read in a medical journal. You
can read the whole thing at:

http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/321/7276/1577

Here's the premise of the article...

=========================================================
BMJ 2000;321:1577-1579 ( 23 December )

Music to be born to, music to die to

People say that birth and death are lonely events as you are the only one
experiencing them at that very moment. But music can be a birth or death
companion. We asked a range of contributors which music they would choose at
either end of life.

=========================================================

So, what would *you* pick as entrance and/or exit music?

If its just one song, I'd enter to Lolita Ya Ya OST
and exit to Star Dust by Tommy Dorsey with a young
Blue Eyes on vocals.

If its an album,  I'd come in listening to Pet Sounds
by the Beach Boys and exit to Rubber Soul, US version,
by the Beatles

With the risk of being thought of as a Heaven's Gate cult member, waiting for
the next comet to arrive, my choice for my exit song is Sun Ra's 'Space is the
Place'  I think that would be a good song to 'let go' to.

And as for my entrance song ..... well .... if I'm ever reincarnated, I think it
would be nice to renter this world to the theme song from 'Welcome Back Kotter'

Slight delay in this week's show appearing.  Sorry about that.
Holiday rush and all.  This show will be online until Late Monday
evening on the 1st of January.

It's a fun show this week too for I would like to present, "THE ELVIS
SHOW" to you.

In the process of putting together an end of the year show I decided
upon a theme. For months now I have wanted to do an Elvis show. There
was so much material to sift through, so be forewarned that there will
be a second Elvis show in a couple of months.

There's a good chunk of Elvis material performed by Presley himself
(all rare except for the silly Do The Clam number). Some noted points
will be the Dialog pieces (check out the 2nd one where Elvis really
gets mad), the laughing and general wackiness on Polk a Little Sock
Salad, Track 13 where there is a nice collage of Elvis cussing and
foolin' around from various studio outtakes, the try and try again
recording of King of the Whole Wide World (which is a kick song
period), and the great center bridge on Hurt where Elvis lets out a
few vulgar emotions.

Other notable tracks include the comedy routine of Heartbreak Hotel by
Stan Freberg and Company, the fan song Elvis by Julie Lang, The
Swedish Elvis Eilert Pilarm doing a medley that deserves an encore,
Wesley Willis sings about Elvis, and one of my favs, Johnny Murrell's
Elvis In Heaven (such cheese).

So, I hope you enjoy and next week I'll be playing the usual
smorgasbord of treats (including some rare new pieces just sent my
way).

Have a fantastic New Year,
Viva Las Vegas Baby!
Otis

Subject: (exotica) Ageing and Santo

The best remedy for old age? A wrestler's mask.

Nobody cared that El Santo was overweight. With his iron tummy he beat all those bad guys...

Has anyone seen the Santo Fotonovelas? Those are even more exotic than the films. They were made in MΘxico and distributed all over Latin America.

Well... I'm not sure all over... but they arrived here in Colombia. The backdrops of the stories were drawn so the characters were cut from photographs... they are really surreal because most of the time two characters that are supposed to be talking are seen from different perspectives.

And let's not get into those story lines... since they had no limit on how many locations they could use or anything like that... man, they let those imaginations loose. Witches, kings, zombies, vampires, werewolves...

A friend suspects that the writing team had some peyote mixed in their morning coffee. And there were other fotonovelas put out by the same team... There was a cowboy called El Valiente... and it was just like Santo, only that he rode a horse and had a gun. In one of his adventures he discovers that a gang of women that rob banks is not a gang, but a guy that uses latex masks as a disguise. And this was 16 years before Face-Off proved scientifically that putting a different face and confusing everyone can be done!!!

For more about mexican wrestling fotonovelas you can see http://www.santostreet.com/Santostreet/comicpg.htm

Cheers,
Manuel
P.S. Happy New Year. Have a very Santo 2001.

If I could be reborn, it would be to Hendrix's If Six Was Nine. Really loud.
Particularly appropriate would be the heartbeat/footsteps effect.

A good exit song might be Sun Ra's Nuclear War. "If they push that button, your ass
has got to go . . . .  What you gonna do, without your ass?"

tone... for the few lonely souls still on the list.


OK... i'd probably like to be born with my mother from Rarotonga quietly
singing the "good-morning"-song only for me.

and on the deathbed I probably want to hear something like Celine Dion
or Elton John, something that makes me rather want to go than to stay...

I was ignoring this thread but that's an excellent choice Moritz!  Better
still, if you could do a murder-suicide thing.  Kill Celine and then turn
the gun on yourself.

Subject: (exotica) Ventures and Surf

OK. Someone was asking about The Ventures and the quality of the sound?

I just picked up the 2-fer ôSurfingö and ôThe Colorful Venturesö and the quality seems to be OK. This may not be on the same label as the others. The only other Venture CD I have is ôThe ventures Play Telstar-The Loney Bull and others/Ventures In Spaceö And thatÆs OK too.

Question: I saw an expensive import of ôThe Colorful Venturesö. The record in mono and in stereo with a few bonus tracks. WhatÆs up with that? Glad I found mine in the used bin!

IÆve always wanted to get into surf music Picked up some Del-Fi surf CDÆs, Dick Dale and the Blue Hawaiians. I even did an all surf/exotica show last week on the first day of winter and played a lot of this stuff.

The Ventures are always talked about in these circles but I think I prefer some of these other groups on these comps. Surf Rider and Pipeline done by the Lively Ones seem to be a lot more exciting.

And The Blue Hawaiians are incredible. When they are hard or soft. Does not matter.

<<<I finished creating a comp of all the "oriental" tracks from my Martin
Denny and Arthur Lyman CDs.>>>

Speaking of oriental tracks, I came across this very nice LP from Jack
Diamond which I have never seen or heard of and have found no info on the
artist.  Still nicely perfumed with his trademark scent of nicotine and
incense.  :)

I love the discovery of collecting LP's.  One the one hand, there are all
the familiar ones, which seem to pop up all the time.  Then, just when you
start to think that you've seen em all (of course, that will never happen)
you dig deeper and reach another level.

EAST TO WEST
Paul Mark and his Orchestra
Imperial LP 9120

recorded live at the Oasis Nightclub in Honolulu, looks like late 50s.

instruments: organ and celeste; guitar; bass; bongos; percussions; samisen
(similar to a banjo); koto and an occasional vocalist.

see the cover here: http://www.basichip.com/new_arrivals/mark.jpg

I totally agree!  And for me it usually happens at a thrift store when I
can actually afford to take a risk.  It makes the search that much more
rewarding!

I ran into one with a very intriguing title this weekend: One Night of
Madness, Instrumental Novelties by Van Lynn and His Orchestra (Decca DL
8065). I bet the cover is great!  Anyone ever see the cover?  Unfortunately
it was along the lines of orchestral pop bon bons, Arthur Fiedler, etc.
(not what I was hoping but okay for 80 cents).

Of course, sometimes you find something you wouldn't have otherwise have
been interested in...except that someone on this list makes you aware of a
title and you get it!  Wow!

My xmas haul was loaded with exoticity.

Got the Tiki Book, the Shag book, and the Shag illustrated drink guide.  Got
another book on vintage cocktails too.

Took my gift certif down to Amoeba and got Miles Davis' Blue Moods and now
I'm listening to his version of "Nature Boy" with vibes.  Swank.  Also got
Bola Sete with Vince Guaraldi.  Gorgeous Brazilian guitar (up there with
Joao, better than Laurindo) and Vince's fine touch.

Subject: (exotica) Vic Mizzy

The lastest issue of  Cool and Strange has an interview with Vic Mizzy and he
mentions that he's working on two compilations of his music, one CD of just
his TV cues and themes and one of his movie work.  I've been meaning to
mention that his theme for Don Knotts' The Love God is very cool - electric
bass and guitar with all those quirky, jazzy Vic Mizzy touches.  There's
another cue later in the film over a montage of Don's character dressed in a
variety of super-suave mod outfits and being escorted by voluptuous babes
that also has a swinging, Now Sound feel.  Can't wait to see those
collections.

The Ventures aren't surf.  I find surf gets boring fast.  I prefer the
Ventures who, like I said, aren't surf.  I won't argue that surf bands play
a more exciting brand of surf music than the Ventures but that would partly
be attributable to the fact that the Ventures aren't surf.
Also, I much prefer the records the Ventures did in the later sixties when
they REALLY weren't surf.
Having said all that, I can't imagine too many surf records more exciting
than the Ventures doing "Solar Race" or "Out of Limits" on their Ventures
in Space LP.

I'm not sure it is a deeper level since I always assume that one man's
rarity is another man's familiar record.  For all you know that Paul Mark
record is in every Goodwill bin in some city.
Or maybe not.
I'm still surprised how certain records always go for "real" money on ebay.
It seems like certain artists or particular records get what I call
"identified" and then almost instantly they become just rare enough that
you have to pay for them IF you find them.
It's an interesting phenomenon given the relatively small number of
"seekers" that we're talking about.  It just takes a few people.
We read about this record on this list.  At the next record show, a few of
us ask a few dealers "Have you ever seen this Paul Mark record?"  Yeah they
have.  They left it at home because in five years no one's even picked it
up to look at it.  But at the next show, it'll be there and it'll have a
twenty dollar sticker on it to replace the one dollar sticker.

I'm only looking on that other layer now.  And I'm finding stuff.  But
everytime I do, it costs something.

Subject: (exotica) are these soundtracks groovy?

I like groovy soundtracks.  I saw these two but didn't buy them.
Anyone have an opinion?

Buck Rogers "in Space" or something like that.  By my hero Stu Phillips but
it's 1979 and I was afraid that would be too late for him.

Three Bites of the Apple by Eddy Manson.  The appearance of David McCallum
on the soundtrack attracted me but I've gotten burned so many times
thinking something would have groovy content.

So, you soundtrack experts....

The soundtrack to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (no, not Duck Dodgers in
the 23rd and a half Century) on MCA.  There are some orchestral cues and so
on, but also disco type stuff.  If you liked the Battlestar Galactica
soundtrack (which, I believe, was also Stu Phillips) you might like half of
this album.

Its been a while since I pulled mine out, but that is my recollection.  Not
Groovy at all.

Where is Twiki when I need him...or at least Dr. Huer?!

For you Ventures fans, I would like to suggest Laika and the Cosmonauts
from Finland, who don't strike me as a strict Surf band, either.  Start
with the Amazing Colossal Band, which has a rather nice version of the "Get
Carter" theme as well as great originals, such as "Delayrium".

Currently listening to:

Like, Long Hair - Paul Revere and the Raiders
Hey Sah-Lo-Ney - Mickey Lee Lane (does anyone have a copy of this?)
