But one idea in particular seems relevant here. They talked about "National Geographic" magazine, how it began to publish photographs and the fact that those photographs defined the way "we" looked at the world. But as one of the commentators said "You didn't see shots of Africans getting up and going to the office". This made me think about the relationship between those images and the very idea of the "exotic" that developed after that. I'd be willing to bet that you could connect National Geographic with the boom in (supposedly) exotic music. But if the photographs presented a distorted view, well... Not that I thought exotica was exactly ethnographically accurate.

Of course now there are many "educational" magazines out there to peruse. At the turn of the century and in the teens to the 40's NG was the "bible" of what other cultures in the world were like. It became very popular for the "gentleman" of the day to be a subscriber to NG (not unlike Playboy in the 1960s -- geez -- now there is a contrast -- of course both have pictures of naked women in them -- the Playboy ones had a little more "tone" though as I remember). Anyway, I agree that the "exotic" explorations of NG helped to spur the interest in things exotic and Exotica. The show on photography is excellent btw. One other similarity between Playboy and NG -- both are magazines that one never throws away.

Their second is also worth looking for. Titled simply "The Brothers Castro," it's "recorded on stage at Harrah's Club" in Lake Tahoe. They do a wild mix of stuff--"Malaguena," "Cubano Chant," "O Sole Mio," "One Note Samba." There's a great version of "Malaguena Salerosa" that includes a spoken part that makes it sound like a lounge lizard's mating call: "Hey baby ... Look over here now ... Don't be shy ... I luuuv yew!" It ends with an epic medley of "Caravan" and "Exodus." As the liner notes say, "Listen. They must be heard to be believed." God, it's wonderful what used to find its way onto vinyl.

I'm really curious, what is the going rate for dodgy hammond platters down there in the swingin' wing-dingin' house-price-inflatin' Wild Wooly Sarf?

They are standard junk/charidee shop fare, at least here in the smoke. There are dozens ofem by the way. Nearly all feature dolly birds on the cover and some also feature TV interviewers! I would say buyer beware whatever price you pay -in my experience there are usually only one or two half-decent cuts on this genre of albums and they are usually the ones where the musos were allowed to rock out a bit, perhaps at the end of sessions, rather than just play (for example) bossa versions of contemporary tooooooooonz. Paying seven Earth pounds for yer Stonehams, Hawkshaws, Mantovanis etc smaks of the EZ-listening "boom" of the mid-90s when suddenly previously bargain-bin items were escalated to "rarity" status in London's second-hand reckud stores, regardless of the fact that actually most of them contained 90% junk.And now I notice that they're back in the bargain bins.

Huffman,J. Franklin Hyde,Jules Glazer The Associated Press Thursday, Oct. 14, 1999; 12:14 a.m. EDT David A. Huffman SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) – David A. Huffman, who turned his college term paper into a computer coding procedure still in use four decades later, died of cancer Thursday. He was 74. Huffman developed the Huffman Coding Procedure, a mathematical technique still vital to data storage and transmission. The procedure assigns strings of 0's and 1's to each character in a file. The codes are used to manage files in large computer systems; compress text, image and audio files; and compress data for transmission by fax machines, modems and high-definition television broadcast. Huffman created the system while a graduate student in the 1950s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. J. Franklin Hyde CORNING, N.Y. (AP) – J. Franklin Hyde, an organic chemist whose glass-making method made the fiber-optics revolution possible, died Monday. He was 96. Hyde's pioneering work with ultra-pure glass at Corning Glass Works in 1934 was used in radar during World War II. It didn't gain wide use until the 1960s when it led to durable spaceship windows, galaxy-gazing telescopes, precision lenses to build computer chips and signal-carrying optical fibers. Optical fiber is now Corning Inc.'s biggest business. "I'm surprised at some of the things it has gone into, but I'm not surprised at the versatility of such a beautiful and useful material," Hyde said in an interview with The Associated Press last November. Jules Glazer LOS ANGELES (AP) – Jules Glazer, an accountant who handled finances for entertainers such as Abbott and Costello and for leading Democratic political candidates over a 40-year career, died of cancer Oct. 7 in Palm Desert. He was 77. Glazer handled tax returns and other finances in Hollywood for motion picture personalities, including comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Glazer quickly segued to political accounting and developed a reputation for integrity. A staunch Democrat, he eventually served as national treasurer for the presidential campaigns of Jimmy Carter and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. He also handled regional finances for John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy during their presidential campaigns. # 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, 14 Oct 1999 07:48:05 -0700 (PDT) From: chuck Subject: Re: (exotica) Baroque-pop (was Classics) - --- Peter Hipwell wrote: > > "The Baroque Beatles Book" on Nonesuch.

Does it fit into that > category for all? I don't have the answer to that one > All Music has the album "Up With People" in the genre of "easy" and the style of "pop" This album, the Anita Kerr Singers and the Ray Coniff Singers generally fit for me in that "easy vocals" world. I was stunned to hear DJJimmy put the Ray Coniff Singers on his soft pop show doing a sunshine pop song in true sunshine pop fashion. I think the song was Guantanamera and they out sunshined the Sandpipers. "Whats New Pussycat" by the Anita Kerr Singers could easily (excuse the pun) have been sung by the Free Design in the same fashion. That is not to say that Anita Kerr Singers are as soft poppy and sunshiny as Free Design, just on this song. Anita Kerr Singers generally are less pop than this song and certainly less pop than Free Design. Up With People were marketed as I remember as a far right band to rally around to stop that evil rock music influence. I seem to remember somebody like Nixon or Billy Graham endorseng them. Or was it Art Linkletter. I guess it was kinda like Pat Boone all over again. Easy listening in the Big Easy Chuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Really one my favorites in a while and cetain to appeal to fans of worldless vocals and cool sexy Italian soundtracks. The melodies are great and and the vocalist is wonderful. Lots of cool breezy instrumentals,(generally not hard and funky) in that late 60's early 70's style help make this a notch above a lot of what I've purchased recently. Bruno Nicola out does himself on this one. And thanks to those wonderful people at Easy Tempo for this release. There are some real gems on this soundtrack.
