Funny, I just read an article about those ring tones yesterday!  And I was
excited to see that "Mission Impossible" was one of the songs you could
download, so I went to the relevant websites to see what else there was -
however, none of them work on my North American phone...

But if anyone wants to see what you can get if you have a European mobile
phone, the sites are:

http://www.IconaPhone.com

If anyone can figure out how to get my phone to play "Caravan", please let
me know...

The Januaries(st) Foodchain Records (2000)

Modern soft pop doesn't get much more sophisticated than this.
Debbie Diamond (a Dianne Kral lookalike) sings with one of the most
beautiful sensual voices around these days.  She possesses a Dusty
Springfield ala the Look of Love voice.  This is 60s pop!  The
whole lp is full of well written catchy melodies that stick in your
head.  Mitch Maker sounds a lot like Miles Davis on the Kinda Blue
lp and his horn blends perfectly with Ms Diamonds voice.

The Januaries also have an ep out.  Three of the songs are on their
self titled lp.  The four song is Paranoid from Black Sabbath.
What a remake of this song its hard to recognize it.  Its been
remade as a dreamy sensual song that oozes ever so slow.  If you
like modern soft pop I can't recomend this song enough!  Its so
much better than the Cardigans remake of Iron Man.

I really like this band. Their debut album is great, with a handful of songs
that you cannot get out of your head.

I haven't seen the EP you talked about, but there's a promotional-only EP
that carries a great remix of "The Girl's Insanem" done by Thievery
Corporation. I heartily recommend.

It's on Esquivel's Latin-esque (1962). It also featured on numerous
Hi-Fi testing albums, like RCA Victor's "Hor Zu - Stereo Extrem"
("The acoustic stoneage is over at last, Stereophonie is made for people
with at least 2 ears! Rhythms jump elastically to and fro like freshly

Harry "the Crown" Hosono worked with Van Dyke Parks before
making three pre-YMO "exotica" albums:

Tropical Dandy 1975
Bon Voyage Co. 1976
Paraiso 1978

Covering American songs with an oriental theme like "Japanese rhumba",
"Fujiyama mama", "Sayonara, the Japanese farewell song", he plays with
the image that the West have of of Japan, thus seen through the eyes
of the East. Like two (distorted) mirrors opposite eachother.
Apparently his grandfather was the only Asian person on the Titanic
(the ship, not the movie) and survived.

As the Exotica genre is all about combining non-related cultural elements,
making a combination of two such elements pretty much standard, I'm always
on the look out for a combination of triple, quadruple or even more cultural
elements. An orchestra from one continent, taking a song from another
continent, and arranging them in a style from a third continent, using
instruments from a fourth, etc.

My most favourite Latin crossover album is "Genuine Electric Latin Love
Machine, Persuasive Electronics By Richard Hayman". The electronics is
extremely wild proto-techno but with happy bouncy Latin rhythms. All your
favourites are there: "Girl from Ipanema", "Windmills of your Mind",
"Hare Krishna", but "The Peanut Vendor" is by far the best track.

The German Werner Muller & Orchester did many LPs of "Latinized" traditional
Japanese folksongs on the Polydor label. Latin music was and still is very big
in
Japan (but then, what isn't ?)  I have a double CD called Rhythms from South
America". It's Japanese Latin music from 1931-1957, and features a Latinized
Japanese propaganda song about Japan's superiority over China during the
invasion in the thirties. The lyrics are half Japanese/Chinese, the "Chinese"
melody sounds just as fake as Hollywood "Chinese" music.
"Jingle Bells" seems to be a popular song for Asians to Latinize. The Japanese
Mambo singer Tony Tani did a version, and I have a Chinese Latin "Jingle Bells"

sung by either Deng Bai Ying and/or Yeh Ming on a 10" called "Calender Girl",
from a musical of the same name. This has also a great song which translates
as "I love Cha Cha". One half of the lyrics I don't understand, the other half
goes:
"CHA CHA CHAAA,  CHA CHA CHAAA, CHA CHA CHA-AH-AH, CHA CHA CHAAA,
CHA CHA CHAAAA!"

Hoagy Carmichael (1899 - 1981) was one of THE songwriters from the Golden
Age of songwriting.  You'll know lots of his songs, and possibly be familiar
with his face, as he's been in several films (he played a piano player in a
Bogart film I think).  His life story was filmed in the 40's or 50's ,
played by James Stewart I think.

interest in cool and strange, but clearly I'm going to have to learn a whole
new language.  I'm looking forward to it.

Initial question:  Back in 1989 and 1990, there was a guy named Jerry Nutter
who published a little newsletter called Audio Carpetorium, which only
lasted 4 or 5 issues.  One issue had a great article about Space-Age
Bachelor Pad Music, which was my first exposure to the term and to the
music, and triggered my interest.

Does anyone know what ever happened to Jerry Nutter?  I wrote him a letter
in 1992 at his address in South Ozone Park, NY, but he never responded.
This guy was definitely warped, and seemed to really know his cool and

He and fellow New Yorker Jack Fetterman started a groovy easy listening
night called "In Hi-Fi" at Bar d'O in Greenwich Village back in '95. Jerry
dropped out soon after it's inception (replaced by Scott Springer), but he
still shows up at it ocassionally ("In Hi-Fi" was weekly, but is now held on
the second Tuesday of each month). I believe Jerry now lives in Manhattan,
so your letter may never have reached him.

I just remembered that I have one signed by Lenny Dee.  I never thought much
about it, because I knew he had his own night club and I figured there must
be thousands of his signature floating around.  I always get a kick out of
the signed albums by no-name artists (pipe organists or Ken Griffin-style
Hammond players) in the thrift bins.  Once they held the promise of fame,
now they're not even "bad" enough to make it onto Incorrect Music.  (I'm not
including Lenny Dee in that, by the way.)

Man, would I love to have some of that!  You say you have this stuff, but do
you like it?  There's no reason to think that Asians are any worse at
interpreting Latin music than white, middle-class North Americans.  But is a
peculiarly Asian flavor detectable in them, or does it sound pretty much
like any other pseudo-Latin music made in the U.S. or Britain?

..or even...
I saw a record at the main library in San Diego that I wished I could have
bought.  It was a Japanese quartet singing Russian Folk Songs.  Not so much

william, thanks very much for the recommendation.
I should add that the site can also be accessed at the easier to remember www.musicaltaste.net

I picked up two great compilations used on CD last night - 'Buddism' by Roy Budd and 'Mo'plen Brazilia' (irma compilation)

'Buddism' is a nice (and probably superior) companion to the 'Rebirth of the Budd' compilation.
Both contain the classic 'Get Carter, but while 'rebirth' focuses more on the pop instrumental albums which Roy Budd did on the Pye label in the late 60s, 'Buddism' is exclusively cuts from his soundtracks.  Some tracks are incredibly modern sounding, and most are extremely cool, slightly in the vein of Lalo Schifrin's best work.

'Mo'Plen Brazilia' is the CD with Italian and Brazilian footballers on the cover.  Although some tracks are duplicated from other Mo'Plen and Easy Tempo CDs, this is definitely one of the more successful compilations of late 60s Italian Bossa-influenced tracks I own.   And the sound quality, (which was terrible on 'metti, una bossa a cena') is pretty good.  Well worth checking out if you get the chance.

cheers,
jonny

I think it's virtually impossible to find Lenny Dee records from a certain
period that AREN'T signed.  Same with Don Ho.  Gives you some insight into
their careers.

(Don Ho did some legitimately good tunes by the way. Don't dismiss the Ho!)

I used to get a kick out of all the records trying to cash in on the
Griffin name.  His nephew Kirby Griffin.  Records that say "In the Griffin
style" with the name in huge letters to fool you into thinking it's
actually Ken.
A friend of mine once told me he really liked Ken Griffin records.  It had
something to do with growing up in Winnipeg - though I'm sure our resident
ex-Winnipeg couple do NOT relate to this - and the radio station he grew up
with.
So everytime I saw a Griffin record for fifty cents or less I'd buy it for
him.  I think we got to about fifty before it slowed down.
There was ONE, I think the Hawaiian one, which I sort of wanted to keep.
It was a pretty good organ record actually.  Otherwise as far as I can tell
"the Griffin style" consists of playing the melody with no embellishments
or rhythm.
My favourite organ records were the ones that reminded me of Tex and Edna
Boyle's Organ Emporium.
I wish someone would volunteer to collect organ records.  I don't do that
kind of thing anymore.  And pound for pound, a collector of such things
would have an amazingly high proportion of crap.  Still I wish it existed.

Subject: (exotica) needle question

I'm not much of an audiophile so pardon my ignorance. I have one turntable
and one needle. It's getting a bit old. But how old is too old?
- - How many hours of play does a needle have before it gets damaged?
- - How can you tell if it is damaged?
- - Do scratchy records damage it?
- - Are some needles heartier than others?

whatever help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an autographed Tiny Bubbles by the Ho. It is

The organ certainly has a lot of potential for weirdness, though I've never
ventured down the perilous road of organ records beyond one or two Earl
Grant and Jackie Davis LP's.  But have oft wondered whether there are some
slept-on organ records that I shouldn't be passing up at the thrifts.  Any
recommendations?  Clayton (if you are a Lenny Dee fan)?  Anyone?

If there is a Hell, and it is a "stasis of unrelieved
viciousness", you can believe organ records will
accent the smorgasbord of torments in store for the
damned. My 1st for-a-lark oddball lp purchase was an
organ record: Gus Farney at the Giant Wurlitzer. Still
enjoy it. And my, it is a big organ.
