I was going along in my less experienced music world and then I got onto this list. Before I thought the coolest covers had to be stuff like White Light White Heat or Revolver. I had seen framed album covers before but they were always rock albums like Abraxas or On Their Satanic Majesties Request or the 13th Floor Elevators. My friends and I had a debate recently on what was the coolest "Rock Album Cover" This list got me into thrifting and I found those incredible exotica covers. It started with Martin Denny. Tiki Bob has the super finest framed Denny lps I have ever imagined. Then I started picking up lps like Marco Polo. Then these cool outer space covers and wild cheesecake covers with Diane Weber started intriguing me. Then kids records,moog/whistiling/bird records/ Christmas/Hawaiin and finally any cool old cover of any music genre (especially old black and white). As you all know thrifting can build up an lp collection fast and add to that ebay and dealers and you can't believe what you own and what you owe. Then I started framing the cool lps or recent purchases. I was shocked how my pad suddenly looked. Stunning!! I change the lps out to fit a mood. They snap right in and out. Plan on putting Halloween lps up and Christmas lps up to fit the season and bathroom covers up in the bathrooms. A whole hallway of Coniff covers. As it stands now I plan to hang 150 or so albums on the walls. At one time I actually planned on covering a whole wall with Whipped Cream and Other Delights since the lp is so readily available. Starbucks has these steel framed glass album covers on sale for $5.99. I picked a lot up in Chicago but the New Orleans Starbucks don't sell them.

Not > > much more > > written > > on it, except "Festival Vallenato 1968 Primer > > Premio." Wonderful, > > wonderful stuff. Vallenato is a musical genre from Colombia, developed near the Atlantic coast on a region called Valledupar (it is in the valley of a river called Upar, hence the name) that spread all over the country becoming the most popular genre all over the country. The record you have corresponds to the first Festival they did in (obviously) 1968. They still do those festivals today, at the end of April, and every year they crown a Vallenato King which usually is the guy who can do the most amazing things with his accordion. The gravitational center of Vallenato groups is the accordion, an instrument that came into Valledupar along with some German immigrants. The usual way of playing the accordion was enriched with black and native musical forms, giving origin to this very unique music. It wouldn't be far fetched to compare it to the blues, they are both rural genres, both take european instruments and make them sound the way they are not supposed to sound, and both have a strong rhythmic (black) component. There is a page about Vallenato in http://www.uic.edu/~lmoya/vallenato.html Nowadays there are several Vallenato group that have added synthesizers to the mix with horrible results IMO. But there has also been a tendency to mix it with rock and other latin rhythms and to turn it into something more easy to digest by a bourgeois audience. Gloria Stefan, has some traces of Vallenato in that album in Spanish she made, and she is a good example of this trend. There is also Carlos Vives, who is Colombian, and has had quite a successful international career. I am really not an expert on this, but I am Colombian. So I know this music because it's the kind of thing that bus drivers like to play in those long, long, long traffic jams during the rush hour. I would be interested to know if anyone else has come across this kind of music, and their reactions. For me it is impossible to hear Vallenatos as just music (that is without a context). It has an emotional charge (not positive, I'm afraid) that just doesn't let me do that. Cheers, Manuel P.S. Has anyone come across a soundtrack of a film called The Shatterer? Is it any good? And has anyone heard a group called The Stairs? They have an album called 'Mexican Rn'B' with a really funny cover.

I can't pick a favorite cover right now but Denny's Primitiva and nelson Riddle's "Sea of Dreams" got me started on this mad mad chase. Right now I'm looking for 66-69 covers with a groovy style late 60s feel to the cover. Music For a Proper Speaking Voice comes to mind. Theres tons of these coming out of Europe specially Italy and also Mexico. I just thrifted some great Phase Four late 60s Ronnie Aldrich covers that blow me away, but I don't think they will make it to frames, theres just that many great framable lp covers out there!

Movieflix.com offers a large number of movies, in their entirety, for free in RealPlayer format. The movies are grouped in categories, including action, drama, comedy, film noir, literature, black culture, classic TV, mystery, and romance, among many others. While many of the present selections are lesser-known or perhaps underappreciated films (Santa Claus Conquers the Martians comes to mind), there are also some jewels to be found, including His Girl Friday, M, and Of Human Bondage. Please note that users must register to view all the selections, though it is not required to watch the featured movies for each category. Whereas older versions of RealPlayer still left a great deal to be desired in streaming video performance, the most recent version has markedly improved, and most of the movies proved fairly watchable, with little skipping or freezing. Although a smaller-screen narrowband option is available, a broadband connection and the latest RealPlayer should be regarded as musts for getting the most out of the site. # 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, 7 Jul 2000 13:18:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Ben Waugh Subject: Re: (exotica) Modern Lovers The tingling pleasure is mine - but not a correction at all (you were not wrong), more like an enhanced concurrence.

Space Bop #100 These Are A Few Of Our Favourite (Musical) Things What to play for show #100? It seemed like a good opportunity to feature all of our favourites... But with only one hour of airtime, what to exclude became the biggest challenge! The result is an eclectic and esoteric mix of everything from new wave to breakbeat and experimental electronics to toy instruments - a lot like the range of music that can regularly be heard on Space Bop. Eno & Byrne: America Is Waiting "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts" Can: Dizzy Dizzy "Cannibalism" Danielle Dax: Evil Honky Stomp "Jesus Egg That Wept" The Residents: The Simple Song "Our Tired, Our Poor, Our Huddled Masses" Peter Thomas: Raumpatrouille "Raumpatrouille" Gert Wilden: I Told You Not To Cry "I Told You Not To Cry" Tipsy: Space Golf "Trip Tease" Pascal Comelade: The Sad Skinhead "Haikus De Pianos" Der Plan: Space Bob "Perlen" Elvis Costello: Watching The Detectives "My Aim Is True" Depth Charge: Bounty Killers "Nine Deadly Venoms" Sukia: The Dream Machine "Contacto Espacial Con El Tercer Sexo" Moebius & Plank: Missi Cacadou "Rastakraut Pasta" C-Schulz: Meisterschaft "7. Party Disco" Thanks for reading. cheryls@dsuper.net brian@phyres.lan.mcgill.ca # 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, 08 Jul 2000 12:48:46 -0400 From: Will Straw Subject: Re: (exotica) Framed Lps is Swank Pad!

Levine Presents, music by Milton Delugg: "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" o LP, Golden Book SLP170, USA o appreciation: 2 o note: Apparently, this is a children's record made after an Embassy Pictures B-movie, written by Glenville Marath, produced by Paul L. Jacobson, directed by Nicolas Welster. * Airto: "Fingers" o CD, King Record/ Vivid Sound Corporation VSCD 715, Japan, 1998 o appreciation: 4 o note: Wonderful, exotic fusion. The best 3 tracks from this album are also featured on "Best Of Airto", which also includes a longer life version of a 4th track: "Parana". * Les Baxter: "Space Escapade" o LP, Capitol T968 mono o appreciation: 34 o note: What a cool cover! and what a disappointing record. elevator music for the shopping mall on Mars * The Folkswingers: "Raga Rock" o LP, World Pacific WP-1846 mono, USA, 1960's o appreciation: 4 o note: Instro guitar + sitar versions of 60's rock hits like Paint it black, Eight miles high, Norwegian wood, Shapes of things, Hey Joe. * Arthur Lyman: "Latitude 20" o LP, HiFi SL 1037 stereo, USA, 1960's o appreciation: 3 o note: Very sober record; most of the times you only hear about 3 instruments playing. And Arthur sings on 1 track! * Eilert Pilarm: "Greatest Hits" o CD, Green Pig Production GPPCD 01, Sweden, 1995 o appreciation: 5 o note: This Swedish Elvis-impersonator-of-the-worst-kind MUST be the uncle of Mrs. Miller, it must be him! He's blessed with these qualities: tone-deaf; no feeling for rhythm at all; his English is so bad it sounds more like Swedish or Japanese than English, especially in "Jailhouse rock" [pronounced Yale housa lrock] and "She's not you". Some minor points though: his band-in-a-box sounding backing group plays a bit too good; he doesn't do "In the ghetto". Well, you can't have everything, and he's already massacring 22 other Elvis tracks here. File under "atrocious" or "so bad it's good". Only for fans of Mrs. M., Jonathan & Darlene, King U et al. Caution: to be digested with moderation. * Santo & Johnny: "The Beatles Greatest Hits" o LP, Canadian American SCALP 1017, USA, 1964 o appreciation: 3 o note: Sounds more like a Johnny solo effort, i can't hear much steel guitar here. Arranged by none other than Mort Garson, who also conducts the backing big band orchestra. * Raymond Scott Quintet, Gene Lowell Chorus: "Rocket To The Moon" o LP, Young Peoples Records 15016 mono o appreciation: 4 o note: wacky kiddies record, 1 side with sound FX and music by the Raymond Scott Quintet, vocals by the Gene Lowell Chorus, narrated by Ralph Comargo. * Raymond Scott and His Orchestra: "This Time With Strings" o LP, Coral Records CRL 57174 mono o appreciation: 2 o note: not as exciting as the original Quintet versions.

Hear some recent vintage Bobby Christian in a recording from the late '70s on this week's Retro Cocktail Hour webcast. Bobby's big band goes exotic with "Mooganga", which is a lot more Mandingo than Martin Denny. Speaking of big band exotica, you'll also hear a tune from the very rare "Africa Speaks, America Answers", with percussionist Guy Warren and the Red Saunders Orchestra. In addition, there's jungle jazz by Les Baxter, Henry Mancini and Mandingo; sounds for spies from Lalo Schifrin and Dick Hyman ("Agent Double-O- Soul"!); the mysterious Rolley Polley from (apparently) his only solo record, "Mad Drums"; plus Esquivel, Joe Swingman, Don Swan, Marty Wilson; and Nashville goes Hawaiian.

It has been two years since I updated my personal links page. About half needed to be updated. Most sites moved into their own .org or .com URLs. Congratulations! Some had redirects, so I redid them. A few were just missing, but I found some of the ones I really wanted (like the Enoch Light pages) on Google. I only added a few sites I had on hand, but if you think I am missing something real cool, let me know! Everyone on this list, I believe, has a worthy site if not more than one...or knows of others which could be added. http://www.hubris.net/zolac/links.html On a related note, have you noticed that with a slow connection, AOL stops sending big items within a given timeframe? Thus on ebay I miss many of the pictures for records because AOL stops transmission 1/3rd to 1/2 of the way through on larger files. No wonder some of the sites based in AOL land have new servers now! Thanks!
