Subject: (exotica) electronic music and beyond

hi,
yellow magic orchestra's beautiful electronic cover of martin denny's
firecracker almost sums up my feelings on everything.

well while the iron is still hot...  i just figured i'd blatantly promote
another email discussion list.  Pop Nouveau was birthed as an (to my mind)
offspring of this here exotica list.  i've been off and on this list for
many a year, but found myself wanting a seperate list for new music coming
out that reflected similar vibes and sounds to the exotica/easy/etc. fare.
there's the more obvious "pop nouveau" bands like  tipsy, combustible
edison, arling and cameron, fantastic plastic machine, etc...  and then
there's the less obvious ones like maybe ladytron or qypthone or mansfield,
etc...  but almost anything goes.  older artists pop up, but mainly we're
interested in current/recent pop music and electronic music that some
exotica list folk might not care about (ahem).  also it's a good place to
keep up on some cool artists and dj's who update the list with their play
lists and stuff.  wondering what ever happened to Jill Mingo?  she's here
and she posts her play lists too!

well, thanks for indulging me.  i hope you check out our small forum if

I don't want to argue about this.
So instead, let me tell you about something I saw on TV which I think is
related.
There was a debate up here a couple of years ago about we would allow the
video version of those one-armed bandit gambling machines - they're called
something like VDT's - into the province.
So they did a report on gambling.
And there was this one guy. He went every morning with a cup filled with
quarters and started putting them in the machine. If he won, he put the
winnings in his cup and kept going.
He would leave when he ran out of quarters.  Sometimes that took a few
hours and sometimes that lasted as much as twelve hours.
His winnings weren't winnings.  It was just about how long he got to sit
there.
He said that it barely registered when he won.   It didn't matter if he won
or lost.  He said that he only actually felt something twice in the day.
When he sat down at the beginning and when he reached for the next quarter
and the cup was empty.
It's not a perfect metaphor but that's very similar to me going to look for
records.

I like looking for records and when you like looking for records, you end
up having a lot of them.
But I like looking for them.
Owning them is almost a necessary evil.
The music is an occasional bonus.

Subject: RE: (exotica) musical nostalgia

Most record collectors I've met are focussed on music they first heard as a
young person.  I don't think that applies particularly to people on this
list.  And it doesn't particularly apply to me either.

I've found that people get collective/obsessive/accumulative about the music
from around the period of their birth. Perhaps its about trying to work out
where you're from, what things were like when you were created etc etc. For
me 1967-1973 is the great era (born 1971) I have a few friends who are
fanatical about new wave and early electronic music 1976-1982 and all were
born around '77.

To be honest though, I haven't yet conducted a wide-reaching survey of my
observed phenomenon.

 D'accord totale. It only proves again that it is pointless to speak of "the 70s". One has to make clear wether one doesn't like the jazz of the 70s, the rock, the disco, the soul, the hip hop, the punk, the electronic music or whatever. It's pointless to attack a decade so diverse as the 70s. fact is that not only Tanaka is currently reintroducing disco into contempory music, plus you've gotta be aware that it's meant as dance music.

You've gotta see that film, really, and you will not be so sure about it anymore, I can tell you. Like:  what is it about when someone collects the very same version of the same song by the same artist a dozen of times just to own every possible pressing that was ever made of this song? Or this one weirdo, who claims that he can tell you by heart every tracklist of each of his 100.000 or so albums... boy, Alan, why didn't you let me get your film broadcasted in Germany? What a loss!

My friend, who ran the Jazz department of Universal for years and recently took over the Classical department as well, says, it's all Classical music to him. He doesn't want to make a difference between Jazz and Classical, saying that any music eventually will become classical music. He gets a lot of contradiction from the Classical circles for that, but I can see his point. So all you lovers of Classical music, be prepared for a flood of new releases from Universal soon!

> So classical music typically has far more instruments making noise than, say, a jazz band. And exotica has more instruments typically than the average jazz band. And then ambient music or musique concrete has hardly any.

Sample music has by far the most instruments ;-)

"noone else" isn't referring to "John Phillips" here, but to "you". I thought that the Mamas and the Papas would be important enough, that at least a few people would comment a bit on Phillip's death, but....

Subject: (exotica) now this is WEIRD (exotica mailing list mentioned on italian magazine :)))

yesterday nite I came back home and my sister showed me an article about
"Morricone and his brothers" from Sette, a magazine included with Italy's
#1 newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Apart from the fact that it mentioned italian labels reissuing film and
library music, and american and japanes fans appreciating lounge/film music
from Italy, it also mentioned Alessandroni's legendary whistle performance
for "A fistful of dollars", people like Piccioni, Trovajoli, Ortolani and
more.
Most of it seems based on a conversation with "our" Francesco Adinolfi,
author of "Mondo Exotica".
It had a couple of nice photos including one of Umiliani in a studio with
actress Zeudi Araya (which incidentally resurfaced just these days as a
testimonial to a campaign against death penalty... you can find it on this
comics website,  http://www.fumetto.it/, under the title "Le voci di
Caino"; there is a Zeudi Araya .mov file that you can download; Dario
Argento and the roman hip-hop band Flaminio Maphia are among the other
testimonials).
Finally, the weird bit. It mentions Umiliani and it says that when he died
the news were spread first in America and only later in Italy. The news
"kept secret by the family, arrived through one of the 200 daily emails on
the Exotica Mailing List, which is a sort of meeting point for the fans".

Ooops. "Sette" mentioning one of my emails...

hi everyone,
this mail is to inform you that http://www.enniomorricone.net while still
looking extremely crap ;)) and still in one single page, now includes a
decent filmography of the Maestro. Feel free to take a look and write for
suggestions etc.

Also, someone from Turkey running a Morricone webring and site contacted me
a few days ago. I haven't replied yet and now my laptop pc has been stolen
while travelling on a train to Bologna. :((((((((
If that person (sorry I can't remember the name) belongs to the exotica
list as I suspect, please contact me again.

thats weird, I noticed a lot of similar samples and "sounds" between the 2
records. Is that a cosmic thing or what? Both are outstanding records, with
similarities, yet almost completely different in sound and texture. I love
them both, but of course the Tipsy more. Right Dave?

Beach Music Official in S.Carolina
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
 Filed at 8:16 a.m. ET
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Put on your dancing shoes.

Gov. Jim Hodges has signed a bill to make beach music the official popular music of South Carolina.

``Beach music is the music of South Carolina,'' Hodges said in signing the bill Wednesday. ``This new law is an opportunity to honor local artists who have made beach music the international language of good times.''

The law makes beach music the second official state music. In 1999, Hodges signed legislation designating the spiritual as the state's official music.

It should be all about the music, and it probably is for most Exotica
listmembers, but if you see Alan's film, you'll understand what he's saying.
He interviews collectors who are way past the stage of "normal", and into
accumulating for various reasons.  It's a great film, by the way! (no, he
didn't pay me to say that...)

I have to agree with Cheryl. I was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of the film. What I think Alan's film accomplishes is that it makes music and acquisition of it a part of a personality that is predisposed to an activity like it. The really surprising part is that not ONE of the people profess an undying love for music, rather most seem to be more obsessed with categorization, sompiling, and in some cases, storage (a major issue in the film). Each real life "character" in Alan's film is a recognizable person. Many points they offer will hit close to home for many here. Its hard to pinpoint it, but what seems to have been accomplished is that he has profiled the vinyl junky, yet made him (and in some cases, her) likable without any artificial additions. And the film takes risks, it is a self-propelling vehicle that goes with the moment, no planned message our outcome....JB/saw NO walking experts in the film, but sure see them everywhere else now that they've been pointed out!
 as such!

and at one time it was the square dance!

for real, Beach Music (which used to be called "Race Music") has always been
the most identifiable music of South Carolina.

I'm really sorry I referred to my film.  I should have been able to make my
point without it.  And I don't want to argue with the people who've seen
the film.  But the reason people in the film don't talk A LOT about music
is because I don't really let them.
Everybody I talked to said it was about the music.
The people in the film are no different than the people on this list. It's
not like you guys are "normal" as cheryl said and they're not. The only
judgement I could make is that some of you are less obsessed than others.
The reason I say it's not about the music is precisely because everybody
says that it is.  There were those for whom it obviously wasn't JUST about
the music but those people also say it's all about the music.

I know that for ME it's not all about the music.  I think there are a lot
of people on this list that use records the same way I do.
But I don't want to argue about it. I made the film instead.
And I'm sorry I brought it up.  But I didn't want anyone thinking that, at
least according to me, the people in my film are any "weirder" than the
rest of us.

This is a bit off topic.
But last weekend for the first time, I chatted on luxuria.
I ran into a couple of exotica listers there.
It was cool.
But the last few nights I just couldn't get it to work.
I just wondered if the people here, like the Millionaire for instance,
understand what's happening and whether there's anything I can do about it.

I just posted "some guy's taste" under the mistaken impression that it was

some guy named Ian Masters from a band I have heard of called the Pale Saints.
Still, it's a very cool list and it almost makes me want to check out the
band he was in.  Almost.

Familiar?  I was in the damn group.
We toured and did an LP with Johnny Mathis in the 60's (check it out at the
thrift shop...50 cent rack).
The movie plays occasionally on late late night TV.  (I wasn't in it.  Too
ugly, maybe too ethnic.)  Teenagers on the road, puppy love, sneaking out
after curfew, etc., very mild by today's standards...

Oh, but they are!!!  Maybe not all of them, but can you honestly tell me the
guy who's listening to his entire record collection in alphabetical order is
"normal"? (using that word in quotations, because it's all relative, isn't
it?  What's normal to us is probably far from that to many others...)
