I purchased it from Tom at : sales@othermusic.com Louis Philppe really has a very easy melodic wistful way of singing that should appeal to everyone on this list who likes vocals. The last cd I purchased from him was called Jackie Girl (Siesta 56) with a picture of Jackie de Shannon on the cover. Many of the songs on it were inspired by her image. I like both cds a lot and I can't stop playing them except to listen to Trembling Blue Stars & a v/a compilation from the Sarah label.

Now, let's see, what should I put on the flipside of that Irving Fields Trio's "Bagels & Bongos" tape? Mayhaps "More Bagels and Bongos"? Nahh ... a little bit of Irving Fields goes a long way. Longer than it deserves to, really. Hey! This'll work just fine. From a thrift store in West Philly (fronting an evangelical revival meeting, I should add) yesterday: "My Bubba and Zaedas Cha Cha Cha" by the confoundingly named Sy Menchin & His Steven Scott Orchestra. (Cryptic cause there's no Steven Scott to be found, though everyone else is accounted for.) From the back cover: "The bubbas and zaedas of yesteryear are rapidly becoming a fond memory of the past ... giving way to an entirely new kind of swinging, living and active bubbas and zaedas [who] today lead an up-tempo life. ... "More and more are learning to dance the modern dances and it is not infrequent when a handsome, grey-hared, well dressed zaeda swing-steps up to the trumpet player and bellows with a smile on his face, `How about a cha cha.'" [If I ever saw my goyim grandfather so much as take a single swing step I must be repressing it.] Incidentally, Zaeda's on the cover cha cha'ing with a 10" stogie that'll sear poor Bubba's nose if she so much as breathes. Hey, while (sorta) on this topic: anyone ever heard the Barry Sister's cover of "Who's Sorry Now?" The most offensive <> cross-ethnic sterotyping ever committed to vinyl groove. Done in the broadest no-tickee-no-laundry-u-rikee-my-dotta?-flied-lice Charlie Chan dialect ... turning it into "Who Solly Now?" with the Vegas-styled brass backup doing those cliched chops you always hear when Occidental songs take the Oriental turn. The Barries finish off with a "Ahhhh soooo .... ah, tuka tuka" that'll make you turn the volume way down fast if you want to avoid being charged with a hate crime. Oy, if only I'd been into thrifting back when I was a squirt growing up in Miami.

I don't know that any of these questions are really meaningful. I'm on lists with more postings than here, and I'm also on lists with fewer postings. Posting size seems average, and I don't even know how to judge topic range -- we're mostly *on* topic, and that's all I usually notice. (For the record, the two most regularly off-topic lists I'm on are alloy [the Thomas Dolby list] and the dirtylist [for Underworld, Freur, et al.].

I recently picked up a similar 78. Since I'm not at home right now & my short-term memory is fading fast, I'm not 100% sure of the details... I think the recording is of The Bennett Sisters doing "Wishee Washee", a song about a Chinese laundry boy.

I'll mention the band and someone on the list will launch into a whole thing about them. But I doubt it this time.. BIG BEN HAWAIIAN BAND This is one cut on a strange compilation record, "Music for the two of you". They do a version of "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine in" that's good enough to make me go back on my "no more songs from Hair" rules. It's sort of Hawaiian, sort of not. I don't think I've ever heard anything like it. By the way, this compilation, on Polydor also contains both Roberto Delgado and a cut by Augusto Alguero ("Magico Sonido") who were mentioned here recently. And I have to say that I have one spectacular Roberto Delgado record but I've never found another one that was even comparable, making me think that the "This is Reggae" record (which it isn't) is a huge anomaly. KARL SWOBODA "Top hits for Zither" Judging from the cover, this was going to be as corny as it gets. But it's so NOT corny. In fact it's one of those records that almost too good or too "legitimate" to enjoy. There's a version of "Take Five" that's good enough to throw on a groovy jazz compilation and not have someone say "what's that weirdo zither tune doing there?" I wish this were a little cornier but the record really makes me wonder about the guy. SERGE REGGIANI I always keep an eye out for records that are like "I'm not going to find any Serge Gainsbourg vinyl but maybe there's someone like him that hasn't been identified yet". I have found a couple of Francois Hardy records and one of them was great but mostly you find Charles Aznavour sounding stuff. And that's what this is. Sort of. This guy gets all strangely excited at the emotional peak of the song and his voice starts shaking in a way like he's trying to control it but it's getting the better of him. If I was really a fan of this kind of stuff, I think I'd love this record. I bet someone here would. I also got some records given to me that were a bit too rare or cool for someone to just give them to you, so something tells me I shouldn't mention them here. But one of them had Leslie Baxter and theremin.. I'll wait till after the long weekend to post that.

I've have to add my comments on the whole notion of thrift store record shopping since I recently decided to try it out while visiting last week in Western Canada. Here's what I have to say about it, at least from my perspective: First, I felt uncomfortable going in, feeling I was being stared at. Once inside, I felt even less comfortable seeing as the place was clearly full of junk that people throw out AFTER garage sales and that most, if not all of the other people in the store were shopping there out of necessity. They were surprisingly clean and quite well organized, in fact they reminded me a bit of a TJ Maxx store which says very little for TJ Maxx, but ... I was actually puzzled to see records as they are clearly not a necessity but I then noticed the pile of old and mostly broken stero equipment (including 8 tracks and turntables) and realized that it's simply another old technology being disposed of. The pile (and I mean literally pile!) of broken and obsolete computer equipmment I saw for sale in one store, that I know will never work really saddened me. I was instantly reminded of my eye-opening experience visiting India some years back but was most struck by how I was here and now in the country the UN voted best place in the world to live! My depression worsened and I looked through the records fast thinking I wanted to get out quickly... I say this all for the simple reason that shopping for used records is something I've been doing for nearly 25 years and I've spent a lot of my free time doing it. Why I do it is because I enjoy music and enjoy the stores. I also enjoy shopping in used bookstores for the same reason. People working in these places actually (there are exceptions...) enjoy books and music too or they wouldn't be doing it, and that heightens the experience. Shopping in the thrift store was NOT enjoyable, in fact it was completely the opposite. Not to say no one should do this, it certainly is up to each person to do as he or she wishes. Not for this cowboy though! BTW, I didn't find any particularly good records and the four I did pick up I probably should have left. At least the non-profit organization that runs the place made $4 that went to a good cause, so I don't feel so bad about it. A strange aside from thas is that as I've accumulated a significant number of records and books these last years that came out of basements (my parents included!) and have that musty odour embedded in the covers and jackets. The room where I store my records has started to smell a bit like the musty basement these records came from yet it's on the 2nd floor! Has anyone else encountered this or found a way to deal with it?

If I may respectfully say so, it seems to me that perhaps your problem with thrift store shopping has more to do with your own attitudes and biases than anything else. By your own account, you were uncomfortable and ill at ease before you even went in- if other people were staring at you perhaps it was because they picked up on this sense of unease, this sense you had that you were in some way slumming. And then you say the store was "surprisingly" clean. Why was this so surprising? I'm sorry- it just seems to me that you went into the store with the wrong attitude- you expected a poor experiance and then- shockingly enough- you actually had one. I encourage you to have a more open mind and perhaps try thrifting again. I too shop at used book and record stores. And I can report that I have often bumped into book and record dealers at thrift stores, picking up items which they then re-sell for much higher prices in their stores. IN fact, in Indianapolis, there is a yuppie- oriented, high priced antique mall a block or two away from a large thrift store. I suppose I am one of the few people who is a regular patron of both establishments. But, anyway, the owner of the mall has admitted to me that he regularly picks up stuff at the thrift store for next to nothing and then resells them at inflationary prices to dopes who would never think to check out thrift stores.So again, pretty much all I can say is I really encourgae you to give thrifting another chance.

Me too. I saw the local record-shop guy at the thrifts, and since I occasionally browse in his store and our kids are in the same grade and school, went over to say hello. I made a mental note of the albums he was obviously going to buy (for 50 cents), and went to his store the next day. Sure enough, in his "just in" bin, there they were - priced between $5 and $20. I much prefer mingling with the down-and-outs at thrifts than being suckered into paying more at a trendy shop, simply because the clientele have better incomes!

I would think that a vinyl release of SSFB would be most appreciated by DJ's, as there is certainly much that could be used in a dance/chill out type of setting. I think a small run (like around 1000 pieces) would be sufficient for the albums. =46eel free to contact me with any other questions. I should be in Amsterdam with my band, Combustible Edison, later this year. br cleve # 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: Sat, 1 Aug 1998 03:49:58 EDT From: Subject: (exotica) Tikifest '98, San Francisco Tikifest '98, San Francisco Friday, August 14 9:00 pm sharp Liftoff Productions presents the fabulous return of the last summer's biggest Polynesian-style Dance Party Live from Los Angeles it's the surf beat of The Tiki Tones plus San Francisco's own The Aquamen also mysterious solo vibraphonics from Fisherman and authentic sounds of The Kilohana Royal Hawaiian Band also don't miss Otto and Baby Doe's Tiki News shopping shack (selling gig posters by Frank Kozik and more) plus Tiki King's Tiki Trading Hut all this and Ten foot tall Tikis, a Tiki Mug giveaway, and the best damn Polynesian Drinks in town.

This head dates back to the inception of that restaurant (circa late 40s) and is said to have been atop the roof of The Coral Reef. # 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: Sat, 01 Aug 1998 15:34:07 +0000 From: Moritz R Subject: Re: (exotica) Tikifest '98, San Francisco Ottotemp@aol.com wrote: > Tikifest '98, San Francisco > Friday, August 14 > 9:00 pm sharp > Liftoff Productions presents the fabulous return of the last summer's > biggest > Polynesian-style Dance Party > Live from Los Angeles it's the surf beat of > The Tiki Tones plus > San Francisco's own > The Aquamen > also > mysterious solo vibraphonics from Fisherman and > authentic sounds of The Kilohana Royal Hawaiian Band > also don't miss > Otto and Baby Doe's Tiki News shopping shack (selling gig posters by Frank > Kozik and more) plus Tiki King's Tiki Trading Hut > all this and Ten foot tall Tikis, a Tiki Mug giveaway, and the best > damn Polynesian Drinks in town. > One night only! > Only $7.00 > Club Cocodrie > 1024 Kearny > betw Broadway & Columbus > San Francisco > 986-6678 Come on, Otto!

It looks like thrift shops are amazingly different. I went to stores all over America, big cities and little hole-and-corner-towns (I've got that expression from the dictionary) as well. There were times when more than half of my wardrobe consisted of thrift shop finds. I used to be proud that everything on my body costed less than 10$ all together. I just sold two Hawaiian shirts I bought in a salvation shop in San Jose 1979 for a Dollar to the Subliminal shop in Stockholm and got a copy of the Hawaiian Eye LP for it... And records, of course: Once you've found an Exotica 1 Mono or Perez Prado Voodoo Suite in lava red vinyl for 50c you wouldn't complain about some other junk that might be in the thrift shops. How about vintage Apple One computers...I know it takes to be a nerd to collect those but one day they will be incredible collectors items and you could get them for 5$ in a thrift shop in Glendale two years ago. Is Canada that different?
