Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from July 9, 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.

Thanks Kaminsky! Hated missing Field Service today, but I'm certain it was great as usual

Is this Angela entering a courtroom in the case arising out of the Marin County courthouse shooting? If so, that's Howard Moore, Jr., her attorney. I've done some work for him. Cool guy.
Avatar 7:07pm
Flash Strap:

I can't tell if that's him or not, but without a doubt you're on the money about the rest. Cool you worked for him, Dean.

This track has some weird skips, but what are you gonna do? certainly they aren't the worst problems in evidence

Looks like a young Howard.

I dig old dramas like this. Heard another good one on FMU ages ago, early-arly morning Saturday, while I was driving north to CT. Wanted to pull over at the edge of the reception range, right on the highway shoulder, so I could hear the rest, but the end remains a mystery.

Flash Strap:

yeah, I played that one mostly because it's so blisteringly offensive, but I really do love the whole World Adventurer's series. Love-Hate-Love, I guess

@Flash: It's like reading Lovecraft. Luxuriate in the world-building, choke on one's coffee over the name he gave a protagonist's black cat.

Flash Strap:

Exactly, man. Exactly.

And Whitey's on the Moon.

I'll have to click that link later, Dean, but consider my curiosity piqued

Is it even worth pointing out that some of the most brilliant, enlightened minds of the movement were women? Or does it go better without saying?
