Subject: (exotica) Laughs in Sweden
I just heard on TV in a news report on laugh-therapists that in the
fifties we laughed approximately 18 minutes per day. Today we laugh 6
minutes per day, A girl who was interviewed said this: "We live in a
serious country, we are serious poeople, that is why we are facing
serious problems".
It all can't be that serious 'cause we live in a fairytale, we have a
King and Queen.

This reminds me of the LP "Sleep Dirt" by Frank Zappa. The CD is actually =
produced much *differently* so that that songs are actually NOT the same =
on the CD version!!!!! (They're worse of course....)

Subject: (exotica) Groovy soundtracks - help
>I wonder if there's anyone who could help me with my quest for groovy soundtracks.
I would highly recommend the Jazzbeat comps, as well as the Shake Sauvage comp. Sound library tracks, with a wealth of different kinds of material you might like. And I believe that the Truck Turner soundtrack was just reissued. A lot of people like the Shaft soundtrack, but I think that's just because it's a more popular film. I think Truck Turner is a much better soundtrack, or let's just say I like listening to it, and playing it, unlike the Shaft soundtrack.

don't know of any recordings of wine glasses but there used to be a
bartender at the Minneapolis Club in Great Falls Montana who used to play
songs on all of the liquor bottles. This isn't any help, but just a memory
that I had to share.

Somewhere I've heard the theory that the nervous disorders (suffered by
musicians playing the instrument) were caused by high lead content in the
glass bowls (or lead paint on the bowls), which was absorbed through their
wet fingertips.
The instrument makes a cameo appearance in Thomas Pynchon's "Mason &
Dixon", at the hands of Ben Franklin in a Philly pub.
(what an oddly constructed sentence)

On the subject of Groovy Soundtracks...
Can anyone tell me how groovy is Neal Hefti's 'How to murder your wife' OST?
And what type of groovy: jazz, swinging go-go, now sounds...?
I've yet to see the film...what's it like?
Thanks in advance

Well, from what I have heard he is featured with a chapter in Irwin
Chusids book about outsider artists, "Songs from k to z" or something
like that, i have not read it myself, maybe some other listee can tell
us... He was voted "artist of the year" in some radio show in great
britain, but I dont know if he is that famous... He does his own thing.
He is a truly original, the kind that unforunately seems to disappear,
over here anyway. Thanks for the kind words about my review, yes it was
wonderful. The sparkle in his eyes I will never forget. I am glad you
liked it :)
Magnus

I really can't believe such comments. I think we are living in one of the most interesting productive period in music history. I guess it owes partly to this kind of attitude that people like Jill Mingo left this list. That is, I don't just guess - I *know* it.
Here's a quote from the popnouveau list:
