Diversion: show 39 - Exotica Special! - 28/02/2008 



"My music has always been like fiction, no authenticity; I didn't want to make African music--I only wanted to suggest how African music might sound." - Martin Denny, pioneer of Exotica music

This was a fun show. I love Exotica music. The mythology it has built for itself is as phony as a 99p novelty voodoo kit, but that doesn't cheapen the stunning quality of the music. In what other musical genre do you get the pleasure of listening to a five-octave diva singing about sacrificial rituals, or a bunch of ludicrously talented musicians whooping like birds of paradise while effortlessly playing the vibes like a man with three pairs of hands? More than 50 years after its conception, Exotica music is still incredibly inventive and evocative - which is exactly what these artists were aiming for.

So, get out your tiki mug, mix yourself a drink, and let the armchair stereo safari begin!

Note: the artist biogs for this show are brought to you mostly by the wonderful Space Age Pop Music site. This is a great site to get yourself acquainted with the artists behind some of the best music of the 50's and 60's.

And if you haven't noticed already, I use a lot of music from the Ultra-Lounge compilation albums, a fine source of fabulous music!

Diversion: show 34 - TV Cop / Funky Crimefighter - 06/12/2007 


The show started well with me playing a song twice, then starting a record at the wrong speed - go me! I hope you enjoyed the TV Cop / Funky Crimefighter special nonetheless.

Dedicated to the awesome guy in the record store in Las Vegas where I got so much fantastic music, including the Peter Gunn album that I used a lot during this show. I did a bit of research, and I'm pretty sure it was this place: Record City.
