Thrifting for Tunes - Sunday, April 11 - 6 pm PDT/9 pm EDT

The second in a series of shows called "Quiet Village vs. ?" once again contrasts about 10 different versions of the ultimate exotica classic with 10 versions of another popular exotica tune. This instalment pits Quiet Village against Flamingo, and also serves as my annual Martin Denny Birthday show... Many more traditional versions of QV on this show compared to last month (including 5 versions by Martin Denny, the original by Les Baxter, and several others... and, of course, an equal number of versions of Flamingo).

To make up for the recent lack of all-exotica shows on TFT (as I focused on other stuff like movie soundtracks and the like), I've just put together the first in a series of shows called "Quiet Village vs. ?" pitting about 10 different versions of the ultimate exotica classic against 10 versions of another popular exotica tune.

On March 14, Quiet Village goes head-to-head with Jungle Drums. Not a competition... just a chance for you to compare and choose the versions you like best.
