I have the album that proves it. She has the lead on "The Happy Song", which can be heard on the Junk Radio Web Site.at http://www.junkradio.com/junkradio/september/index.html . You will need Shockwave to hear it. The funniest thing to me about this is that Close was to play a children's singer named "Nanny G" on the "Cheers" TV show. Woody Harrelson and she were dating at the time. For whatever reason, perhaps the end of the relationship, Emma Thompson got the role instead of Close. The song is a happy-go-lucky tune, much like a Nanny G type would sing. When I first heard the song, that image leapt to mind.

It contains a joined effort of many, to save for you the most notorious and popular songs, starting from the foundation of the State till now." while not as amazing as some of the Japlish stuff out there, i still thought it was funny enough (given that it was *children's* music) to buy the record (it sucked).... cheers!/pea # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 14:24:28 EDT From: Subject: Re: (exotica) RealAudio Exotica Radio Feed????

I think the post about buying 100 cheap records was more of an example than an actual strategy (though I have witnessed at least one person doing this, who explained it by saying that he liked all kinds of music and was thus bound to enjoy most of the records - a strange hybrid species that "likes all kinds" but actively seeks out other people's discarded music instead of just listening to the radio...) I could never afford to spend more than 50 dollars for one record, and have never considered spending more than $25 - and then it's got to be something extra-special. The idea of spending more than that for something with the expectation that I would at some point get "bored with it is totally beyond me - if I spent more than $15, I'm only going to resell it because I'm desperate for cash or it was a mistake. However silly, I'm convinced that I will eventually find most of my "dream" records in my price range, either as originals or CD reissues (which are fine with me). I used to buy more cheap records out of curiosity because I was DJing, and I needed to build up a bit of a library for the radio show. I do less of it now because I already have too many records to fit in my cabinet, but for me it's always been a balance between curiosity and promise - never about blindly snatching any old crap because it was cheap. I can't afford to spend money like that when there's so much music I'm actively interested in.

I was given a small pile of jazz records from the 50s and in the middle was this album. It's not jazz, but it is definitely exotica. The title of the album is "Beat Tropicale" and side one is "Latin Rhythms". Side one is not very interesting. However, side two, "Savage Drum Fantasy" is wonderful. The artist is listed as Jose Bethancourt and His Orchestra and side two features Richard Campbell and Harry H. Coon. It's on the Concert-Disc label, which says "sound in the round".

Also a special mystery guest. And as great a songwriter as Dave is, "Mexican Shuffle" was written by longtime Herb Alpert collaborator Sol Lake. The song was used for Teabury Chewing Gum commercials back in the '60's and appeared on the "South of = the Border" album. For those keeping score, this compilation will feature 5 trios and 1 duo.

Here's one you should be able to find with minimal effort: Najma - Forbidden Kiss (The Music of S.D. Burman) [1996;Shanachie 64063] Najma Akhtar has one of the loveliest on record. The concept and music direction are by Chris "Church of Betty" Rael and Brian Woodbury, both of whose work I enjoy a lot. And you can tell from the CD's back cover blurb exactly who they are targeting this to: "Indian (Hindi) film music is the soundtrack for celluloid dreams produced by the world's largest film industry -- wild and crazy excursions ranging from Indian classical to Western pop with the off-center appeal of Esquivel or Morricone. On this album, acclaimed vocalist Najma collaborates with American Indo-philes to create startlingly new and wonderful versions of Indian film music hits composed by the king of Hindi soundtracks -- S.D. Burman." If you go to any Indian grocery store you will usually find tons of soundtrack cassettes and CDs. Grab some that look interesting. Or ask. If you see the names Asha Bhonsle, Lata Mangeshkar or Mohamed Rafi as vocalists, you'll be alright. - --Lou # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 11:38:44 -0500 From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) Indian pop The following line: >Najma Akhtar has one of the loveliest on record. should have read: >Najma Akhtar has one of the loveliest voices on record.

It has two Anandar Shankar tracks on it. Anandar Skankar is a 1969-79 Moog and sitars, funky artist on EMI India. Superb and rare. Also the Indian soundtrack 'Shalimar' by various artists 1978 is fantastic. Of course these are more exotica than popular so I'm not sure if I'm recommending the right thing.

The drinks, including the "pecker upper", "the woodies" and "get it up" are even advertised on the Internet by at least four bars in northern Angeles City, the Philippine Daily Inquirer said. Angeles City used to be a thriving red light district frequented by visiting American airmen from the nearby Clark Air Base, which has been converted by the government into an economic zone. The bars have announced a contest for Internet surfers to concoct potent mixtures and names for cocktails flavored with the popular anti-impotence pill, which the government is still testing for possible harmful effects before it is retailed in the widely conservative and predominantly Roman Catholic nation. Those whose suggestions land on the bars' shortlist will receive a coupon for a 50-percent discount at all bars in the town, the report said. Twenty-five finalists will also receive prizes ranging from an 11-page Time magazine story on Viagra to a free copy of a penis size survey complete with graphics, the report said. "So far, 25 names have made it as finalists among them, Einstein, Don King, Hans Solo, Edison, Gates and Peewee Herman," the report added. The bars' website is: http://www.voodoo.to . Two curious Filipino tourists in their mid-50s recently visited the strip to check out the advertisement, but were surprised when the bartenders looked perplexed leading them to suspect the drinks are strictly reserved for foreigners. "There could be exclusivity here as was the practice when the Americans were here," lamented one of the tourists, apparently referring to an old policy in the area dividing bars for foreigners and locals. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 18:53:28 +0100 From: Peter Hipwell Subject: [Charles Moseley: Re: (exotica) Indian pop] > From: "Charles Moseley" > > Try to find the 'Blue Juice' compilation on Blue Note.

I have his first album; it's 1970 (I think), and was released on Reprise (in the UK, at least). The outstanding track is "Jumping Jack Flash", while "Light My Fire" is also very good. These are the only two "pop" tunes; there is one 15 minute Indian classical style piece, while the rest are Shankar originals, which are fairly tame and uninteresting, in my estimation. A goodie is "Curried Jazz" by the Indo-British Ensemble (on EMI's Music For Pleasure), which I think is from 1969. As the title suggests, Indian classical musicians and British jazz musicians join together. This is great stuff, pretty laid back. I've never heard anything else like it (did they do another album?). Not really pop, but I like it a lot. Ravi Shankar albums are always worth picking up, I think. A cool one is "Transformation Macabre", the soundtrack to a British artfilm ("Viola"), with short pieces such as "Madness" and "Death"; much more eerie and aggressive sitar/tabla playing than I've heard elsewhere. Again, not really pop, but fascinating. My tuppence worth. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jul 1998 14:32:47 EDT From: Subject: (exotica) Welkisms Thanks to Darren for some good laughs.

The range is from the late fifties through the early seventies, prime exotica period and as with most of the the best exotica, the arrangements rule.The tune "Jaan Pehchaa Ho" by Mohamed Raffi is such a great rocked out song it'll make you crazy! (I have a single by some band that actually covered this song, hmmm, I'll have to dig it out.) BTW many of the souces to Najma's cover versions can be found here. As someone else suggested, check out any Indian markets, most major cities with a "little India" will have at least one Video/CD store. Whenever I stop by Jersey City I try to go to the Indian shop there(Journal Square area). Although it can be hard to find the older stuff. I have an Ananda Shankar album "Sa-re-ga Machan" The liner notes say that he is the son of world famous dancers Uday and Amala Shankar and nephew of Ravi Shankar. It's a great small studio orch. with some very special synth/guitar effects in the mix of this instrumental album.Over all its a moody, soundscape, kinda poppy,kinda background album. For years I've been trying to find another Sunil Ganguly album. I have "Magic Melody" a nice moody instrumental album with Ganguly playing a sort of slide electric guitar, Indian style. It's definetly Indian pop and he seems to be playing songs from movies. The back of the jacket shows pictures of four other albums by him that I've spent so long looking for them I've pretty much given up.This is one of those albums that I've listened to so many times (I had the foresight to tape it) that I could probably hum the whole album from memory. Both of these albums are on EMI (India). Domestic Capitol also released a couple of not-great-but-still-OK albums of Film music which don't come close to the GoldenVoices collections.
