The credits list The Price as Right info but do not acknowledge the Puffin' Billy. i found that odd. is this because it is "library production music"? comments? and boy, for a 30 something like me, when you hear that song it really takes you back to remembering watching the Captain Kangaroo Show --- which interestingly in our market, came on in the morning, but AFTER the elementary schools started. yet another reason to fake an illness to avoid school.

True this is the literal meaning but the term seems to covers a wide range of popular music ranging from the more traditional Volksmusik (I think folk music... but Woody Guthrie it sure aint!) to the sappy and schlocky. Sure most of it is crap but there is some good stuff buried in the pile, most of the best being non-Germans singing in German and/or German language versions of Non- German songs. Explore at your own risk but be prepared for more disappointment than success! Do look into these sites. Both are in German but VERY thorough.

Also released as The Elektrosonics-"Electronic Music" Both circa 1960 Musique Concrete has NEVER been so melodic before or since these 2 releases Psychedelic outer space electronic, with Horn Sections and even a Private Eye/Crime Jazz Interlude on 1 title. Tom Dissvelt and Kid Baltan's "Song of The 2nd Moon" is electronic outer space musique concrete BUT in the most melodic and psychedelic way ever conceived. This record will make you have to reevaluate what you thought, electronic and musique concrete, was. It was music that was used in Television as theme music for the "Fantastic Theater" program in Tulsa, Oklahoma circa mid 1960's. It was also the theme music to a somewhat similarly themed TV show in Australia, in the early to mid 1960's. It was also used on Boris Karloff's 2 (masterpiece, btw) LP's on Mercury called "Tales of The Frightened", which I also have, ("Monsters" CD Page) AND IS the weird outre' electronic sounds that Boris speaks over, is his "music bed", BUT, all slowed down and twisted up sideways, with added swooshes and whooshes of storms and such; However, "Song of The 2nd Moon" is melodic, BUT SERIOUS electronic musique concrete musics, and VERY outer space. Unless you have heard this, in 1 way or another, you've never heard anything like this. Also of great note, is that this record, though totally and completely different than his style or sound ever was, this was THE RECORD that Jean Jacques Perrey heard and rocked his world so hard, that he heard that he could do and decided to do the voodoo he does, so well! It showed him how musique concrete can be melodic as well as being serious music at the same time, with great humor in it as well. Yes it did. But "humor" doesn't always mean a "laugh" or a "chuckle" or is "ha ha ha" funny. No it doesn't. It even has a Crime Jazz sequence that comes totally out of nowhere with great horn arrangements with electronics AND THIS RECORD, is pre-moog. That's right. The Moog Synthesizer was invented and available for use in 1966. Perrey and Kinglsey's "In Sound From Way Out" (Vanguard, 1965) had no moog on it, as this has no moog on it Titles; Song Of The 2nd Moon, Sonic Re-Entry, Moon Maid, The Ray Makers, The Visitor From Inner Space, Orbit Aurora, Twilight Ozone, Pianoforte.

The whole thing was written like a twisted episode of "Father Knows Best": the 70s being a decade when many folks my current age were looking wistfully back to the snug 50s when there was as yet no herpes or pot and all we had to fear was Russia (whose spies were everywhere). Anyway... that particular issue featured the sensitive tale: My Vagina, in which a high school boy wakes up one fine morning to find he has one. This is one of the funniest and most immature pieces NL ever featured. Also in that issue was a story told in a series of cartoon panels about three men driving around fast, drunk and on quaaludes who, along the way, costume themselves as Mr Peanut, the Pillsbury Doughboy and the little Alka-seltzer character (one panel shows Mr Peanut taking a swig from a bottle of whiskey through his eye-hole) and converse on a wide range of subjects, such as the strangest places they had relieved themselves: "I once went in the back of a television set." Eventually, they crash and burn and the final panel is a newsman warning of the dangers of drunk driving. "Ew Daddy, that's gross!" "You bet it is. Ask your mother."

He was 90. Born in Louisville, Ky., in 1909, Jones performed around the Midwest with artists and bands including Jimmie Lunceford, Stuff Smith, McKinney's Cotton Pickers and Lil Armstrong, the wife of Louis Armstrong. His energetic solos with Smith's Onyx club band in the late 1930s earned him widespread attention, and he soon earned a spot playing with Calloway from 1941 to 1952. Jones played Dixieland with Earl Hines and made a European tour in 1954, then began the work that won him fame beyond the world of jazz aficionados. His covers of swing favorites and show tunes brought him a string of successful hits. He sold a million copies of his versions of ``On the Street Where You Live'' and ``Baubles, Bangles and Beads.'' He won a Grammy in 1959 for the album ``I Dig Chicks.'' Jones toured and recorded throughout the 1980s. He retired from public performing in 1993. His final performance was at a benefit for the Jazz Foundation of America at the Blue Note in Greenwich Village.

But I do enjoy being a member of this list and I've learned a great deal from all you guys! # 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, 3 May 2000 12:42:15 EDT From: Thinkmatic@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) Lady in Cement/National Lampoon In a message dated 05/03/2000 9:03:37 AM Eastern Daylight Time, hagar@mindspring.net writes: << >That's an evil little tale.

The National Lampoon Radio Hour was also great. I've got maybe 20 of the shows on tape and there is some very smart radio comedy in there. Michael O'Donoghue was an amazing writer. There is one 45 second bit they did that still stands, for me, as the radio comedy bit to measure all others by. It's a bit where one guy calls another from his dentists office and tries to have the other guy guess which one of the 10 commandments he's breaking. It is a beautiful and crystalline 45 seconds of brilliant humor writing. I'll track it down and post it if anyone cares to hear it. Has anyone read the paper (there's an online version, too) "The Onion". It's a weekly with a 8-10 pages of parody newspaper at the beginning. It's nasty and at times nearly as funny as Nat. Lampoon in it's early years. - -Roy # 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, 03 May 2000 12:48:49 -0400 From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: (exotica) Lady in Cement/National Lampoon >Has anyone read the paper (there's an online version, too) "The Onion".

A wonderful vocal French combo, making Brazilian music with Sergio Mendes like vocal stylings; I estimate they're 2 male and 2 female voices. Mostly bossa nova-ish, but also with 1 fantastic happy Brazilian carnival sound. Reissue from 1969. Accompanied by Le trio Camara, and by strings and brass on a couple of tracks. Sounds as if remastered from a not too mint vinyl copy. Dusty groove writes: Groovy groovy groovy! Les Masques were a 60s vocal-oriented Brazilian combo from France, and they had a tight jazzy approach that was similar to Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66! That alone would be enough to make them #1 in our book -- but they also get some excellent backing from the Trio Camara, who back the band with some nice organy riffs, and a very tight rhythm section! The whole thing's a great lost bit of Braziliana -- with that crossover sound that you'll hear on the best 60s and 70s European recordings of this sort. Includes the great groover "Il Faut Tenir", which has shown up on a few compilations over the years -- plus "Mais Un Jour", "Enfer", "Echo", "Un Regard .. Un Sourire", "L'Oiseau", and "Les Filles et Les Garcons".

Disc 2 offers acts who mix samba and other Brazilan sounds with elements from jazz, funk and psychedelia. Highly recommended! Don't confuse with the double vinyl "A Trip To Brazil: Bossa & Beyond", which features exactly the same front cover, and is really a "best of" compiled from "A Trip To Brazil - 40 Years Of Bossa Nova" and this very "vol. 2: Bossa & Beyond".

When you're a schlager fan you get used to thinking you're alone! Of couse I'm a good 5,000 km+ further from Germany but... As a schlager fan people automatically associate you with a certain right wing element and instantly relate you to Heino! Talk about an image problem associated with a classification! Speaking of... I passed up the chance to buy the Heino Christmas album at the store last week (yes, it's as dreadful as the others!). I took the $8 I would have otherwise spent on this one and put it toward a copy of the very rare and Canadian "Return of The Incredible Bongo Band" which I'd never seen offered anywhere before. Now I just have to find the first release which is supposedly more common. What are the chances of seeing these two reissued? Er... anyone with the first one and a proper CD setup may want to contact me privately...
