It would be really interesting to come up with a chronology of exactly when and what happened in the "Exotica Revival."

Would you go back to the Pee-wee's Playhouse use of Quiet Village in the opening credits?

Or before that?

Pee-Wee's Playhouse began airing in the mid-80s, while Boyd starting performing as Non at least 10 years prior to that. I'm not sure exactly when he began playing Exotica over the house PA before his shows, but it's a safe bet that it predated Mr. Herman by at least a couple of years. My guess would be that he started back in the late 70s, when a lot of Southern California Punk in-crowders started hanging out at the Tiki-Ti and Kelbo's, where they were likely exposed to Exotica and (surprisingly) embraced it, probably because it was the antithesis of the music they were playing....so unhip, it was hip.
