Flowering Toilet
This one was certainly worth it for more than just the album cover. But what what an album cover it is. Take a moment to appreciate the composition: a modern couple donned in formal attire embrace in a garden framed by large "primitive" idols. But take a closer look at the couple. Are they embracing, or is the woman rebuffing an unwanted advance from her male partner? Perhaps she is trying to control her mate's savage instincts. Or perhaps he simply failed to set the proper mood for their romantic interlude. If only he had played his copy of Les [...]

Seems like Les Baxter is a part of everybody's own nostalgia, watching black and white movies, the lush strings arrangements and hummed vocals, emotional melodies and schmaltz. In one word - Exotica ! That musical genre, the was so popular back in the 50's, was pretty much pioneered by Les Baxter, a pianist and band arranger, who made a tremendous popular records throughout his career, when he combines jazz swing, light elements from classical music and reproduction of that nostalgia I mentioned above. Well, might be that the nostalgia is just me, [...]

Since I've written from time to time about guys like Percy Faith , André Kostelanetz , and a few other specialists in Easy Listening music - a genre that isn't exactly first on everybody's playlist these days - it would be understandable if you thought I was at it again. After all, Les Baxter certainly did his share of sweet music. But for much of his career he musically detoured into unusual and intriguing places, and is now remembered as the master of Exotica. The Texas-born Baxter started out conventionally enough, studying piano and receiving a [...]

I'm not proficient at performing Google searches, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance if somebody else has already been elected official torchbearer of the Michael Ian Black (née Michael Schwartz) backlash club. As far as I can tell (that is, without doing a single web search for "Michael Ian Black sucks" or "Michael Ian Black backlash"), I'm the first to attempt this. Let me tell you...it feels pretty good. I haven't even begun typing anything substantial yet, just this flowery introduction, and it feels really, really good. I'm talking blowjob-from-a-girl good. I remember Mr. Black when he [...]

Get It? A "Bender"? And now...a week in lists: If a great life is determined by the sum of a person's accomplishments, then Modern Drunkard Magazine has a list of forty things a man should do before he dies, as related to alcohol and drunkenness. According to the author, if one can attest to having completed every task on this list, they have lived a full, enriched life. The list, by the way, includes spending a night in the drunk tank, opening and closing a bar (first guy in, last guy out), juicing on [...]

Mainstream Isnt So Bad...Is It
Anyone out there remember the Ultra Lounge series that Capitol put out back in the 90's? With titles like the Vegas Baby! , Mondo Exotica , Mambo Fever , Bachelor Pad Royale , Organs In Orbit , and the Tiki Sampler , you get an idea of what sounds were being propagated. I only had maybe a half dozen of the twenty-eight albums, but the ones I had certainly were quite different than the rest of my collection. What brings this to mind is Silent Movie , the debut release [...]

¿Que Pasa 305?
Exotica is a musical genre, named after the 1957 Martin Denny album of the same title, popular during the late 1950s to mid 1960s, typically with the suburban set who came of age during World War II. The musical colloquialism, exotica, means tropical ersatz: the non-native, pseudo experience of Oceania (Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, Southeast Asia, and especially Hawaii). While the South Seas forms the core region, exotica reflects the "musical impressions" of every place from standard travel destinations to the mythical "shangri-las" dreamt of by armchair safari-ers.
