Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from March 19, 2015 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Hey ngh! yeah it's hard not to conjure up that ad campaign when hearing the word zoom emphasized in any way

Not bad, thanks, and you? Working late into the night here in Germany...

working like, painting your masterpiece late until the night? Or all night spreadsheet reorganization?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:31pm
davex:

Editing, so more the latter but not quite as bad, I guess!
Avatar 7:37pm
Flash Strap:

Well, I'm glad we can groove together in this late night of soul
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:39pm

Ball of Confusion just about sums it up. Liking the version too.

Yeah, this version is just relentless

Seriously, these covers are excellent finds.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:52pm
Gary:

Okay, seriously, is there a book about the Temptations that covers all this stuff? B/c I need it.
Avatar 7:54pm
Flash Strap:

I've been reading up on it all a bit, and it's so sort of petty and sort of typically (of Motown, music industry in general) exploitative that I would love to be able to learm more about the actual creative process
Avatar 7:56pm
Flash Strap:

I mean, in the whole annals of what is loosely thought of as "black power" music, this is really some of the most mind-blowing, if not the most incisive. This track in particular actually does literally blow my motherfuckin mind

Flash Strap:

I thought you might be plagued by similar visions, Gary
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:19pm
Gary:

Weirdly, it's only ever Clark Coolidge books. You would think it would be of Japanese CDs. Or rare comics. But, no.
Avatar 8:20pm
Flash Strap:

Huh. When I was really young, it was always increasingly bizarre GI Joes
Avatar 8:29pm
Flash Strap:

How are the boys in Studio C? Counting giant bales of money, I trust.

We are counting sheep. Zzzzzzz. JUST KIDDING!

Happy abacus-fingering, my counties

I should have clarified: this is one of my least favorite of the common Whitfield compositions, but I sort of adore this bonkers version of it

Beautiful tracks Flash Strap! Great show!

Uncle Michael:

That's the undisputed truth.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:03pm

@NGH: Clark Coolidge, not Calvin! Clark Coolidge is a super-great experimental poet who also played drums in The Serpent Power
