What I love about amassing my exotica collection over the years is that for every LP I spent $$$ on, there are dozens that I paid ¢ for (not to mention those that were thrown in for nothing with some other record I actually ordered to serve as protective parcel stiffeners).

Webhamster Henry:

It's the Big Luau / Cocktail hour of the WFMU of bygone days.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:22pm
Gaylord Fields:

@shangri-lounge: Maybe that was Andy's dad, giving unsolicited singing advice a la Murry Wilson.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:23pm
Rich in Washington:

like that dad during Otis' show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:23pm
Rich in Washington:

The Murray Wilson tapes are so cringe-inducing...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:24pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Webhamster Henry: I had the honor of hosting a few Cocktail Hour fill-ins during my early WFMU days more than a quarter century ago.

@Rich in Washington: [shudder]
Avatar 6:25pm
Oats of Fodder:

That Murray Wilson Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial demo I could listen to all day though, in a crazed way. Just not those outtakes, so painful. I do like his Many Moods album, but I'm a nut.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:29pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Oats of Fodder: I'm also a fan of Many Moods, and I play it for 85% sincere enjoyment. I've even included "Italia" on various mixes, and back when I briefly used talkover music, "Plumber's Tune" was my bed.
Avatar 6:29pm
shangri-lounge:

I guess I have to look into this Big Luau/Cocktail Hour show! I didn't know about it. But I gotta be honest. I'm paying an homage to the infamous Tiki Gardens LP.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:29pm
Rich in Washington:

The Many Mood Swings of Murray Wilson.
Avatar 6:31pm
Oats of Fodder:

Fantastic Gaylord, I agree, has a lot to offer. Also enjoy the Sunray's LP he produced, super corny in places but fun.
Avatar 6:31pm
Oats of Fodder:

Rich, haaaa.
Avatar 6:32pm
Oats of Fodder:

What is the Tiki Gardens LP DJ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:32pm
Gaylord Fields:

@shangri-lounge: Those aforementioned shows were on in the '80s and '90s, before WFMU shows were archived.

@Rich in Washington: Bwahahaha! I think those moods were 1. fury 2. self-pity 3. fury mixed with self-pity.
Avatar 6:33pm
Oats of Fodder:

Wow, I would have loved the FMU Cocktail shows. Who were the main hosts for those?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:34pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Oats of Fodder: Way way back when I did a more cornball kinda show, that Sunrays song about the boy and the dog as sung by the dog's POV was in heavy rotation.
Avatar 6:35pm
Oats of Fodder:

There's ol' pop Murry again, moving over from Andy to playing a Canary for Dinah.

Hey, Mr. Fab! Hope it went well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm
Gaylord Fields:

The Cocktail Hour had a variety of rotating hosts over the years, which is how I got to air my cheapest records, though for a short while one dedicated host was a guy named Wayne Barker (no, not that Wayne Barker). I could only find one show archived, as hosted that week by Fabio: wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:41pm
Rich in Washington:

The nice part about virtual job interviews is you can have sweatpants on below your nice dress shirt and/or tie, right?
Avatar 6:42pm

Nice, bookmarked, will listen to that one... Thanks GF!

Neither audio nor video worked at my end. She had to call me. My nice shirt was of no use. So much for that...

Gaylord! I listened to that Fabio archive - good stuff! Didn't know Fabioi had it in him.

shangri-lounge:

Ah wow, I gotta listen to this, Gaylord.
  6:44pm
Martinibomb:

@Shangri -- lovely set tonight!
Avatar 6:45pm
Mr Fab:

The Cocktail Hour was part of the '90s Lounge Revival. And we're bringin the Lounge Revival *Revival*. We're now as far away from the '90s revival, as the revival was from the original lounge era.
  6:45pm
Martinibomb:

^pretttttty crazeee
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Mr Fab: You can't spell "Fabio" without "Fab"!

@shangri-lounge: I have a feeling you will enjoy that blast from the WFMU past. And somewhere I have a low-bias cassette of one of the Cocktail Hours I did. If I dig it up, I'll see if I can have it archived as well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:47pm
Rich in Washington:

@Gaylord: It used to sort of bug me that Porky wore no pants when I was very young.

Rich in Washington:

This is a wonderfully peculiar track!
Avatar 6:48pm
shangri-lounge:

Yes, I'd love to hear that, Gaylord!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:49pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Mr Fab: I started buying lounge/exotica/e-z listening LPs in the 80s at Sally Anns and the like, mainly because they were dirt cheap, and also because all the "Beautiful Music" formats were dying and I wanted to preserve that music.
Avatar 6:50pm
Oats of Fodder:

Still buying the beautiful music albums, since the 80s too. Rasputin's in Berkeley in the bay was my spot in the late 80s. Lately been buying a whole lot more too.
  6:51pm
Martinibomb:

@gaylord that's the exact reason I started buying them heh

Rich in Washington:

I'm diggin' the Beautiful Music revival that's happening on Friday evenings.
Avatar 6:52pm
Oats of Fodder:

My start was in high school in the mid-80s and I had no reason/clue, it was very uncool at the time to have Martin Denny.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm
Rich in Washington:

There was also so much cool music in the used bins back then, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm
Webhamster Henry:

I have some aircheck Cassettes from the Cocktail Hour too. I only have a few exotica records, so I rely on the on-air presentation of the dusty archives of exotica obsessives, mined from the dollar milk cartons under the record fair tables.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Rich in Washington: And now Porky is the patron saint of Zoom meetings worldwide!

@Martinibomb @Oats of Fodder: We really are birds of a feather here!
Avatar 6:54pm
Oats of Fodder:

I felt right at home a couple of years later in 1987 out of high school. The real connection happened when those re/search books came out and all sorts of cool folks started to connect big time.
Avatar 6:56pm
shangri-lounge:

Now you can get 4 martin denny LP's re-released via Jackpot Records. :-p
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm
Rich in Washington:

Those Re/Search books definitely got me collecting again after sort of giving up on collecting. Raising toddlers and hoarding vinyl records didn't exactly go hand-in-hand, before that, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm
chresti:

Thanks Shangri- Lounge!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm
Gaylord Fields:

By the way, I've done a couple of Beautiful Music re-creations, one on the air five years ago, and one as a fundraising premium disc for my show! To tide you over till 2021-22 when I finally get around to finding, transferring, and uploading that Cocktail Hour, I hope The Beautiful Sounds of WFMU will suffice: www.wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm
Rich in Washington:

Yeah, Jackpot's definitely doing some amazeballs reissues.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm
Rich in Washington:

Oh, I gotta check that out, Gaylord!
Avatar 6:58pm
Oats of Fodder:

Jackpot is a good label, picked up some nice West Coast Exp reissues + the 2 Silver Apples ones they did on vinyl. My Denny LPs are almost complete here. Quiet Village though, you can still find cheap for a 5-spot in most places... the others not as common.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:59pm
