That way, you can listen to them, one at a time, in your automobile without having to mess with any of that New-Fangled USB Thumb-Drive crap, or a Satellite Radio Station, or anything owned by Alphabet, or Meta, or any other of the corporations who wish only to replace their Human Customers with Artificially Intelligent Idiot Boxes who, when responding to Price Hikes, simply Print More Money!!!<br /><br />It's true.

My, how time flies…</p><p>After listening to the Xtabay Compilations for nearly two decades, and being made aware of other existing as well as a few NEW versions of Quiet Village, I decided to see if I could put another collection of different renditions, by different artists, of The Tiki Theme Song together.</p><p>Boy Howdy, was I in for a SHOCK!?!

It started out on blognow.com.au (a site that ceased to exist at some point during Xtabay's operation) and end up on blogger.com (There are still a few Dead Links to it over there in the SideBar on the right side of this page). It was ASTOUNDING!!!<br /></p><p>Xtabay specialized in posting Vintage Exotica (which is the vast majority of Exotica that existed at the time), Lounge and Space Age Pop, but he would occasionally sneak in some Jazz, Rock, Punk or whatever else he felt appropriate.</p><p>He put together several Compilations of Single Songs as recorded in different styles, in different genres and/or by different artists over the years he was in operation.</p><p>The best of these, imho, was "Exotic Sounds of Quiet Village". He put together two collections of "The Exotica/Tiki National Anthem" (at a size which was common at the time, each able to be burned onto a Compact Disk).</p><p>This collection was posted at Xtabay's World in, I'm pretty sure, 2006. It contains 21 different recordings of "Quiet Village" including the original, by Les Baxter, and others by Martin Denny, Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, Pete Rugolo, Don Tiare The Surfmen, and Others.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu-epdCusSTFE75Uckbk_zlgsSr2PdqZIGPhfxDCzT6qZh_uNXuWqqnrPTHD34EjdUiDn_2Etd8dnkQSLHgQpLBdKjmwy4JD7bCZzodYwLK0IGqxQRpxqP7k23W8j5lp9q2RaGST8S8q6BTyweCMMw8m_oFRCNFCSXeiUOpIGa0upY6la2GQGfqA/s640/Quiet%20Village%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu-epdCusSTFE75Uckbk_zlgsSr2PdqZIGPhfxDCzT6qZh_uNXuWqqnrPTHD34EjdUiDn_2Etd8dnkQSLHgQpLBdKjmwy4JD7bCZzodYwLK0IGqxQRpxqP7k23W8j5lp9q2RaGST8S8q6BTyweCMMw8m_oFRCNFCSXeiUOpIGa0upY6la2GQGfqA/w400-h400/Quiet%20Village%2001.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.mediafire.com/file/mf36wtrpt9pv2yz/ESoQV-01.rar/file" target="blank">Exotic Sounds of Quiet Village</a> - MediaFire</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.mediafire.com/file/mf36wtrpt9pv2yz/ESoQV-01.rar/file" target="_blank">Exotic Sounds of Quiet Village</a> - Mega</div>

Hey, Y'all!!!<br />
<br />
Hope you've had a great year and that everything is going beautifully. I've had a pretty good one myself and find that I'm still healthy, employed and very happily married, so I must be doing something right, eh?<br />
<br />
Here's the 2017 Christmas Mix!<br />
<br />
Sorry it's so late. I fussed and worried over it far too much and for far too long this year, but can say I'm pretty happy with what we've got here.<br />
<br />
I can always try again next year!<br />
<br />
Hope some of you find a few things to enjoy about it. <br />
<br />
Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy New Year!<br />

Boy Howdy! I'm feeling older every day! There's a good reason for that, too.<br />

The best thing about time flying, though (other than the fact that we're having so much fun) is that Christmas comes back around so quickly!<br />

<br />
Hope you dig it!<br />

Still… I thought I'd give it another shot.<br />

<span style="font-family: arial;">I'm sorry to say that I don't have a lot of time to spend on this. 'Tis the Holiday Season and, as such, my life is rather frenzied lately.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;">Right now, our local PBS Station is playing a Lawrence Welk Christmas Special (which I'm allowing myself to miss parts of in order to post this) and I've a Christmas Party to attend later this evening, along with another tomorrow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">Didn't want to put this off any longer, though.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">This is another of the records that I grew up with. It's really incredibly groovy and I hope it warms a few hearts out there.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">A couple of quick notes: I believe that I misspelled the name of Track 1 as "Pat-a-Pan", as opposed to the correct "Pat-a-Pam", in the process of ripping this album. Also, I've noticed that there is a skip in one of the tracks.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">I'll correct these errors, replace the linked file, and post links to the repaired tracks later.</span></p>Traitor Vichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10276443019344624078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30320256.post-1070042618184015262014-12-06T23:38:00.002-08:002024-01-24T20:10:03.503-08:00Happy Holidays!!!

<span style="font-family: arial;">The second half is much less interesting. It's called "Christmas at Ye Olde Fireplace with Charlie Spivak".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">Charlie Spivak, </span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;">a trumpeter and bandleader</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> best known for his big band in the 1940s,</span> sounds like he's barely awake throughout the entire recording.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">Ye Olde Fireplace was a Steakhouse in Greenville, SC in the 60s and 70s. Spivak was the resident band leader for much of that time.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Allow me to apologize for not being any more active on the blog for the last couple of years. I assume that most of you are aware that there was a Great Upheaval a while back in which many of the blogs that posted Out-of-Print materials, including a good number which were operated by people who I consider friends, were taken down or destroyed by various means.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I've got to admit that watching my friends' hard work being destroyed was disturbing. Several posts here at The Tuna Melt were also targeted. After going to the trouble of ripping an album to Mp3, cleaning the pops and scratches, organizing the files and tagging them correctly, compressing them into a single archive file, uploading that file to a file sharing site, and composing a blog post in which to share it with the world, to have that work struck down comes as a real slap in the face.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Very much of the joy of operating The Tuna Melt, and of sharing my interests with the world, has been compromised.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Most of the links in the posts on this blog are dead by now and I'm not certain that I want to spend the time and effort to bring them back to life. The suggestion has been made that it might be best if no mention of an Artist or Album Title be made in a post (in order to avoid being identified by automated "Search Bots", so I'm not going to mention this album in this post, or post it's tracklist. These precautions may be over the top, but I think most of you will be able to figure out what the album is and what's on it from looking at the picture, eh?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt5aF91rz-iF-F8CxaKTrTCCvOunV3SLDG405wIMghjeE63YqXEBRqgQVADDINdVmzqZG2_pqy8leH-e8r7zFDpchQpzogUwJa377PhUXCxwQsKkDsDIRQoY3cbrokW5rGK0H9nA/s1600/Christmas+Present_Cvr.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The Tuna Melt has survived other situations like this one in the past. If I can find a way to begin to enjoy doing it again I may be back someday.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">To any of you who have enjoyed anything that you've found here in the past I offer my thanks for helping me to spread a little joy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Thanks for visiting and Happy Holidays!</span></div>

<span style="color: #66ff99; font-family: arial;">'Bout Damn Time, Too! I know, I know… Christmas is almost here and we're gettin' off to a late start.<br /><br />The fact of the matter is that the current economic misfortunes effecting much of the planet Earth have begun to take their toll on Mars as well. As our few-in-number and highly secretive Earth-Based Trading Partners have experienced financial downturns, we've suffered right along with you. As a result, my schedule has become rather erratic to the point at which it is difficult to plan ahead and/or work around.<br /><br />Now that I'm here, though, I'll try to spruce up the season with a few choice holiday offerings from Traitor Vic's expansive collection.<br /><br />Speaking of whom, Vic apparently took my late arrival as a sign that I had decided not to show up this year and, so, was caught completely off guard by my appearance. I've taken it easy on him this year and locked him into the shed in the back yard instead of the closet that I usually put him in. He should be relatively comfortable there for the time being. I'll allow him to come out on Christmas Eve, of course, so that he can run to the store to get me some refreshments to enjoy as we await a visit from Santa Claus</span><span style="color: #66ff99; font-family: arial;">. </span><span style="color: #66ff99; font-family: arial;">In the meantime… I plan to share some of the selections he has that are on Compact Disc, as opposed to the time consuming Vinyl Rips that he limits his own offerings to.</span><br />
<span style="color: #66ff99; font-family: arial;"><br />You are welcome to enjoy this holiday collection, from 1996, by Jaymz Bee & The Royal Jelly Orchestra.

Okay. Maybe it is. But it has a Really Great Cover and at least one pretty cool song on it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Other than that, it is a mostly "spoken word" or "audio drama" presentation that purports to be a "Simply and Faithfully Presented" reenactment of what might have gone on during the act of evicting demons or other spiritual entities from a person at some unspecified point in the past (as the current Rite, updated most recently in 1999 I believe, calls for the presence of two priests).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This record lists no Artist or Group as being responsible for it's creation. I decided to ascribe it to Rev. Patrick J. Berkery, Ph.D. because:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >A</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> - It is he who came up with the original concept and who followed up by doing the Theological and Liturgical Research that it required and…</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >B</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> - He also recorded at least one other record, 1969's "Prayers for a Noonday Church" (which can be found over at </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://psychedelicobscurities.blogspot.com/2008/06/fr-pat-berkery-1969-prayers-for-noonday.html" schluss="" garage="" of="" psychedelic="">Dr. Schluss' Garage of Psychedelic Obscurities</a><span style="font-family:arial;">).<br /><br />It's not horribly scary (although it does contain some pretty weird squeals and shrieks), but it is an interesting artifact.<br /><br />This record has also been shared at least one other time (in two parts, as individual files for Side A and Side B) at <a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/06/the_rite_of_exo.html">WFMU's Beware of the Blog</a>, where you can read a rather lengthy discussion of it's qualities (and/or lack thereof) if you'd like.<br /><br />It is presented here in all six (6) individual tracks at 320kbps.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXY1a0t_kjxf3dHF2Gn9r4sL4gZJAG-lTmiBf5MhDTnGpNVLekkswn01NFW7mLtnk6gi-1Rdim47ze5zxiFKLRs00Ay26je3bH1e8ViKAy-lhR09Ti8WukPzI_zxA4SWUlNfqUUQ/s1600/The+Rite+of+Exorcism_Cvr.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXY1a0t_kjxf3dHF2Gn9r4sL4gZJAG-lTmiBf5MhDTnGpNVLekkswn01NFW7mLtnk6gi-1Rdim47ze5zxiFKLRs00Ay26je3bH1e8ViKAy-lhR09Ti8WukPzI_zxA4SWUlNfqUUQ/s400/The+Rite+of+Exorcism_Cvr.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534072186580548274" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?54grp52m0nb8hjd" target="blank">The Rite of Exorcism</a></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><ol><li><span style="font-family:arial;">Day of Wrath</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">THE STORY (Part I)</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">The Lord's Prayer</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">THE STORY (Part I)</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">THE STORY (Part II)</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;">Ron Aimee Fugue</span></li></ol></div>Traitor Vichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10276443019344624078noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30320256.post-57679341997526479142010-10-19T20:07:00.000-07:002010-10-19T21:27:40.527-07:00Billy Boyd: Twangy Guitars<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />There's no such person as Billy Boyd.

Mandolin and Accordian would serenade you as you enjoyed your Spaghetti and sipped your Chianti.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Nowadays, most of the better Italian restaurants with which I'm familiar have no music playing (canned or otherwise) and the popular chains are usually brightly lit, loud, and feature Soft Rock or New Age-ish background music. Thank God for Unlimited Salad and Breadsticks!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This record reminds me of the stuff they played back in the old days. The Gaylords were Ronald L. Fredianelli, Bonaldo Bonaldi and Don Rea (with Bill Christ replacing Fredianelli when the latter did a stint in the US Army). Fredianelli later took the stage name Ronnie Gaylord and Bonaldi became Burt Holiday.<br /><br />Most of their records were of Italian folk melodies translated to and sung in English, thereby introducing them to a wide American audience. This one, though, consists of Italian Songs sung in Italian and played in the old country Italian style.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Find more info on The Gaylords here:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://www.thegaylords.com/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.thegaylords.com/index.php</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gaylords_%28American_vocal_group%29" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gaylords_%28American_vocal_group%29</a><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ev1tiger/gaylords.html" target="_blank">http://home.earthlink.net/~v1tiger/gaylords.html</a></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeKUMhlDj0S4gDpfnb27KUbpKdTIB97GYiC5hp1G-cbBRNffueqWBp8s_i8EJ6bFSbt8wb1mX6EWsjpMmBFuzQ84XkUDi69STX4NOehrTrwD2J6D-rQw_lXE0B5Ex0cOriI53eQ/s1600/PizzaParty_Cvr.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475055514645647970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDeKUMhlDj0S4gDpfnb27KUbpKdTIB97GYiC5hp1G-cbBRNffueqWBp8s_i8EJ6bFSbt8wb1mX6EWsjpMmBFuzQ84XkUDi69STX4NOehrTrwD2J6D-rQw_lXE0B5Ex0cOriI53eQ/s400/PizzaParty_Cvr.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?z3ym1fmwl2z" style="font-family: arial;" target="_blank">The Gaylords: Let's Have a Pizza Party</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><span style="font-family: arial;">1.

Diplomat, one of several labels of Synthetic Plastics (of Newark, NJ), was the Budget Record Label to End All Budget Record Labels. My record doesn't even list an artist name on the sleeve or the label. Luckily, the record was released with several different variations on the sleeve over the years and some of them identified the music as being performed by the Sammy Laului Orchestra: a group with such a wide range of different sounds that it's almost difficult to believe the entire record is by the same combo.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It's a nice record, though, and should help you to relax at the end of a long, hard day. If you find yourself thinking that the song "Island's Goodbye" sounds an awful lot like "Now Is the Hour", you're correct. You are also correct if you find yourself thinking that much of this album sounds remarkably (EXACTLY!) like the album "Hawaiian Enchantment", by Luke Leilani, on Spin-O-Rama Records or, perhaps "Hawaiian Enchantment", by The Hawaiian Islanders, on Wyncote.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggBmyXOkI8Kn3udQawoeA_K-lF2ekBYtrh09MLf4Liin7hhpD5uYI9IDzSxC9V0QLQ172JKllaS6fVIbnWozQDgMUr_RGD9vWk5gdx5LiFa9ETV2fBKE22KIvVoIAhoA-ZRCiwzg/s1600/HawaiianWedding_Cvr.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggBmyXOkI8Kn3udQawoeA_K-lF2ekBYtrh09MLf4Liin7hhpD5uYI9IDzSxC9V0QLQ172JKllaS6fVIbnWozQDgMUr_RGD9vWk5gdx5LiFa9ETV2fBKE22KIvVoIAhoA-ZRCiwzg/s400/HawaiianWedding_Cvr.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454438841261880770" border="0" /></a><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jdzlu0jttz1" target="_blank">Sammy Laului Orchestra: Hawaiian Wedding Song</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: arial;"><ol face="arial"><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Hawaiian Wedding Song</li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Dreams of Hawaii</li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Waikiki Moods</li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">White Sands</li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Girl of the Island</li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Hawaiian Skies<br /></li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Island's Goodbye</li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Chanting Waves</li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Isle of Dreams</li><li style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">Hula Moola<br /></li></ol></div>Traitor Vichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10276443019344624078noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30320256.post-75624297079708702652010-03-20T22:25:00.000-07:002010-04-08T19:16:22.822-07:00Various Artists: Songs of Guam<span style="font-family:arial;"><span style=""><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >This one is Oddly Charming… </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Well, okay… Mostly it's just odd.</span><br /><br />Upon happening upon this record I thought I had found a collection of, perhaps, Traditional Guamanian Folk Songs or Historical Recordings of The Chamorro People.

(Jean) Lennox. She has completed a labor of love for the Island she called home for a little while.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">"Her affection for Guam and it's people is rewardingly evident in each of her ten original compositions. For a "Statesider", who lived just two years on the Island of Guam, our composer has created a truly remarkable musical montage."</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">The native language of the Island of Guam (and all of The Marinara Islands) is a Malayo-Polynesian language called Chamorro. The Chamorro language was heavily modified during Guam's</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> occupation and colonization</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> by Spain from 1668 to 1898 and now contains many words and phrases of Spanish origin. Guam was captured by the US in a bloodless landing during the Spanish-American War. Since then, Guam's official languages have been Chamorro and English and, again, the Chamorro language has incorporated many English words. It makes for a bit of a strange mix.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Something tells me that Mrs. D.S. (Jean) Lennox had no idea, while writing these songs, that they would ever end up being recorded for commercial release. They're nice enough, and charming in their own way, but they sound more like songs intended to be sung by school children than professionally created pop pieces.

After starting out as a child star (at the age of seven), in her native Turkey, she went on to play starring roles in fourteen Turkish movies.
