Link it if you can find it on the web.

Exotica is fantastic to listen to in the backyard on a summer's night with the Tiki torches going. However, I've discovered that it freaks out party guests pretty quickly. I tried playing "Quiet Village" and "Taboo" back-to-back and just about everyone either threatened to leave or smash my CD player.

Those are all the endorsements I need!

I'll see if I can rent it tonight.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Cool.

Funny stuff:

The scene from "Raging Bull"

"Lighting...strikin'...agin. Yeah."

The chicken wing on the Smokey Joe.

Corky's dance.

(Can't wait to hear what you think of it.)

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Actually, I should have said: "I just wanted a drink of water."

; )

[P.O.E.]

I always liked the hearty cheer that buoyed Mitch Miller's interpretations, especially when backed with accordions.

It's hip to be square.

"...with the Tiki torches going..."

Don't know if this song fits with the genre, but do you know "Hawaiin Cowboy?" a great tune! Don't even know who does it.

I saw Mighty Wind and,while it WAS entertaining and funny in parts,really left out the Left wing politics and movements that the Folk music of that era spun out from.
I never cared much for Folk music as a youngster but compared to the garbage pasing for music nowadays it is pure genius.

I think "Spinal Tap" is one of the funniest movies ever made, especially for those with some knowledge of the music business. The Stonehedge scene and it's aftermath still make me laugh.

"This one goes to eleven!"

[ewing]

You won't be disappointed..

[martin_fierro]

BAH!

Local Blockbuster says it's signed out until next week.

I shall have to forage for it.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

It's worth it. Really. (This is Spinal Tap is my all-time favorite movie...and I really liked "Guffman" - I could watch for about the tenth time today and laugh my guts out.)

[martin_fierro]

Here be Tap Tunes!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Why, thank you, kind sir!

"I still own a Chad Mitchell Trio album that I bought in 1963."

The Kingston Trio's many albums are more available now than at any time since 1965. I recently bought a couple of their CDs. They are re-mastered, some have 2 vinyl albums to a CD.

Quiet Village is a masterpiece. Of what, I'm not sure, but I recently bought the LP at an estate sale. I never quite got it out of my head from childhood.

[Slings and Arrows]

I loved "Guffman," but have one bone to pick with it: I was in one of those small-town theater groups (I was the band director...OK, I was the band), and the actors in "Guffman" are too good! It takes the real thing to reach the true level of bad accomplished in such circumstances.

Thanks fot the ping. ;-)

Fun movie - I even tried to promote it here a bit a few weeks back.
