Yamatiki,

Thanks for the words of encouragement -- keeps a guy going knowing people are digging the show.
The playlist for the all-Exotica show I'm doing Monday night (Sept 24th), is ready to go. Not necessarily "hits" of the genre, but rather performers you don't usually associate with exotica: Norman Luboff, Vic Damone, Bert Kaempfert, Tito Puente, Mary Kaye Trio, etc, Of course I won't be skipping over the masters, either: Baxter, Lyman, Denny....
they're all present and accounted for.

Take care,

Funny world! I didn’t know that Gunther Buskies was doing this (Bureau-B), I only knew about Tapete Records. We used to work in the same company, until I moved to Berlin.

Your show is great!

Highlights from Jet Set Planet - April 14th, 2008:

*The Enoch Light Singers say: "Hello, I Love You" and
they mean it... in that stiff and awkward Project 3
sort of way.

*Meanwhile the Manzanilla Sound proves that Somebody
Cares About Me!

*The Clebanoff Strings play some exciting sounds.

*Learn how dieting can help support community radio.

*And One of the greatest CRIME JAZZ sets ever, with
the likes of Jerry Goldsmith, Irving Joseph, and Plas
Johnson (playing his sax while reclining on a soft,
fluffy pillow - we think).

Kawentzmann,

Thanks for digging the show! Yeah, Bureau-B has put out some wonderful stuff. The "Easy Beatles" CD is awesome, as is their CD "Achtung! German Grooves" from a year ago. I recommend both highly. My contact there is Thomas Worthmann.
