Around here we "watch" a lot of Disney. I became aware last night that they are into the "rock band" business. Couldn't name a one, but a few months ago they were hyping a late-teen pretty boy by showing him perform before adoring gyrrrls, a-la Beatles circa '64, but in an obviously tightly controlled tightly staged context. Then last night they had what I am calling The Gap Band, and no, no "You Dropped A Bomb On Me", rather a Gap-leather clad spike-do'd teen heartthrob shakin' his booty and sangin' to da funky beats of an affirmative action wonderband including a "scratchin' arm-throwin' DJ", and an ethnic rainbow of a backing band serving us some righteous, stolen, and rigidly controlled phunk. That Disney outfit brings out the cynic in me. You know, Hermenaut Magazine is right.

It's a fabulously warm, sunny day here in Cincinnati and I just recently discovered this Spiral Starecase song (so, okay, maybe some of you HAVE heard it all) and I could play this song over and over again, without stopping. I need one of them little loop cassettes. Anyway, does anyone else have a vaguely cheezy song that sticks in the craw that just makes you super happy to listen to? Maybe we could compile them all onto a single disc. I'd like that. Some nominations from me: Can't Take My Eyes off You - Franki Valli (and all covers too!) Hair - Cowsills Candyman - Kahimie Karie (not 70s, but I can't help loving this song) Hawaiian War Chant - Ames Brothers or Ray Charles Singers Also, for some reason (and maybe this is a sickness), I really dig the Elvis tune Suspicious Minds. It's not particularly happy like that, but it gets me singing out loud. How can you not: WE CAN'T GO ON TOGETHER... WITH SUSPICIOUS MINDS. That and a good dose of MacArthur Park. All in the "show band" style. Anyway, just wanted to share my musical joy with y'all.

Softer and easier is the Irma Coctail Lounge Vol 1, subtitiled the "Irma La Douce Collection" However let the buyer beware the selections are from other Irma releases such as Mo Plen 2000 and Arriva La Bomba. Nothing new here. Recommended only for those who don't own much Irma stuff. Much more dance floor is Vol 2 and again its all repeats from Irma's previous releases.

That and a good >dose of MacArthur Park. All in the "show band" style. I love those last two tunes myself. Me and my two codependent easy listening buddies here could probably fill two CDR's with McArthur Park versions alone. But I'd hardly call it a happy tune. When you realize that life is a cake melting in the rain, you might smile but that's different than being happy. Same with Suspicious Minds, one of the few things I like by Elvis OR Waylon Jennings. It's good to finally realize we can't go on but... I don't think I could compile a list or a tape or a CDR of all my favorite tunes, happy or not. There's too many. And then there's the question of whether one of my all-time fave tunes - "In my Solitude" - belongs on a compilation of happy tunes. Sad tunes tend to make me happier than happy songs. On the other hand, that version of "Marrakesh Express" on Permissive Polyphonics makes me smile everytime I hear it. If I wanted to make a compilation of tunes that I could listen to repeatedly, I'd make Bacharach tapes. Which I've done. But if you really need one song nominate, I choose "Time for Living" by the Association. Or "By the time I get to Phoenix". Or "April Fools".

I know all the original tunes referred to here but I seldom hear the new things "they" make out of them. Yesterday I got to surf through a whole batch of Italian compilations from bossa nova to jazz funk. (I was surprised to find that old Al Kooper/Steve Stills version of "Season of the Witch" on one of them.) It was all very very pleasant. There were a couple I'd sort of like to hear again but nothing I was compelled to own. Then I heard this tune "Nightmare" on a strange Claus Ogerman LP, "Saxes Mexicanos". And this French instrumental record by Roger Morris and his Madison Club de Paris, which has a tune called "yeh yeh" so I guess it's yeh yeh music. I guess it's not really a comment on all these compilations that I would rather OWN an old LP with one cool tune than a CD compilation with twenty tunes. I find it odd but also sort of beautiful that all this groovy music of the past is being reclaimed, reissued, remixed, redone and re-presented I can't keep up with it, I like hearing it - even in phone company commercials - and yet it always makes me want to express some kind of moral outrage. Which would be silly...

In Toast 4, unlike 3, you can indeed reduce gaps between tracks to zero theoretically. HOWEVER, even though as it's burning it says it's burning disc DAO, when you play the disc back, if you have cross fades between tracks, you'll hear a tiny glitch. Quite frustrating. You can however burn audio CDs direct from mp3 format, which is good if you don't have that much disc space on your drive. # 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: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 10:19:18 +0000 From: the_curator@eat78rpm.freeserve.co.uk Subject: (exotica) Nicola Conte=Bossa Per Due= 12" thanks br did you buy or was it given to you ... i can't find it on the net to buy friendly Sem Sinatra >>Nicola Conte=Bossa Per Due= 12" >>anyone else heard or have this? > >yes, it's quite good.......I picked it up about 5 months ago.

Thinking of explicit "happy" songs, so much more "sad" songs come to my mind... does that say something about this century? PPS.

BAD GIGS By Tuck Andress (of Tuck & Patti) Borrowed guitar, different string spacing, bridge or nut sliding during string bending or vibrato, wrong strap length or strap breaking during solo, unwound guitar string used as backup strap gradually cutting through shirt and shoulder, sleeve snagging on bridge suddenly locking up hand, wrong pick, dropped pick, broken pick, no pick, pick stuck between strings, finger caught between strings, wrong strings, dead strings, sticky strings, blood on strings, broken strings, no extra strings, jar of honey spilled all over strings, vintage L-5's gig bag shoulder strap breaking immediately before album release concert for 5,000 people causing guitar to fall on concrete and creating crack from tailpiece to neck which gradually splits apart during performance with action getting higher and higher, amp too far away, amp too close, amp broken so play through bass amp or P.A., tone all wrong, overdrive bypass switch broken, cymbal in ear, band too loud, audience too loud, band downstairs too loud, bad monitors, no monitors, in-ear monitors broken so Patti is heard acoustically but Tuck is heard only through house PA 50 yards away resulting in Tuck being unavoidably out of sync with Patti by 1/6 second for whole show, guitar buzz, RF from nearby transmitter louder than the music itself, brownouts making organ pitch fluctuate randomly over an octave range, power outage, equipment plugged into 230 volts immediately before show, earthquake during show in high-rise, outdoor desert performance at 131 degrees with sand-blasting winds, sub-freezing outdoor mountaintop performance with snow storms and 40 mph winds, high altitude dizziness, no sleep, no food, too much food, wrong food, food poisoning, fever, locked bathrooms, way too many liquids before long show, nagging suspicion that zipper is down, contact lens falling out during moment of peak concentration, compromised hand position due to repeatedly sliding full width of stage while trying to keep playing but not collide with Patti on yacht in rough Finnish Gulf of Bothnia, charts blown away by wind, charts on thermal fax paper, charts in wrong key, charts without bar lines, charts with bar lines all displaced by two beats, charts in bass clef or C clef, chord charts with do/re/mi (France) instead of C/D/E and everything else in Portuguese, realization that Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Pass, George Benson, Chaka Khan, Bobby McFerrin or Steve Gadd just walked in, drunks falling on stage, drunks disrobing on stage, drunks grabbing instruments or band members, band members falling asleep during song, pigs frolicking in sawdust-covered frat house knocking over band equipment, thinly veiled animosity between bride's and groom's families erupting into violence during heartfelt version of My Romance, nightly juggling of playing and operating the lighting console/footswitches and talking to audience members and trying to reign in tempos and egos of various fellow top-40 band members, arrival at duo gig with unbelievably loud, aggressive fuzz-wah hard rock bass player to discover that assignment is to back up elderly white-haired and white-suited gentleman singing unfamiliar country songs to unforgiving patrons, crowded upscale happy hour dance floor unraveling into pandemonium as normal-looking customers all collapse to the floor and writhe around on each other while astonished saxophone-playing duo partner walks out leaving helpless solo guitarist playing The Hustle for 25 minutes, funk bass player imprisoned in lounge band insisting on popping strings throughout sensitive ballads, accidental imprisonment of Patti in wine cellar out of earshot during guitar instrumentals, onstage and on-instrument living creatures with varying numbers of legs, belligerent drunken bowling alley lounge customer demanding that funk band play Debussy's Clair de Lune while remainder of band looks expectantly at guitarist, drummer watching ball game on portable TV with headphones throughout performance, guest singer repeatedly changing keys at random moments, realization that the people who have just boldly picked up instruments and are unexpectedly sitting in are Herbie Hancock and Wah Wah Watson, guns drawn at rehearsals to settle disputes about form of song, marginally famous singer resorting to the dreaded "Do you know who I am" line, drummer and delusional would-be front man jumping off the drums in the middle of a song and mistakenly chanting "we don't need no drummer to keep that funky beat" to a dance floor packed with suddenly hostile former dancers, unstable band member deciding that it is his responsibility to educate the audience over the microphone, bass player playing random notes and rhythms because he is not a bass player at all but nonetheless booked the gig, drummer announcing that he killed somebody just before the show, swimming pool party turning into orgy with splashing on inexperienced solo electric guitarist sitting beside pool doing his first solo gig and fielding endless requests for the same song he had just played yet again, bride's and groom's special song evaporating from mortified solo musician's mind at the crucial moment, band member disappearing suddenly when his chair falls backwards off riser, unstable enormous man peaking on LSD brandishing artificial limb removed from his companion at audience and threatening band to "sing with this", mirrors on back wall of club causing introspective young guitarist to question meaning of his life at early stage in career. *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Ton Rueckert Mozartstraat 12 5914 RB Venlo The Netherlands *** *** mojoto@plex.nl http://www.plex.nl/~mojoto Ph 31/0
