Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from June 28, 2018 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.

I once performed an interview with Woody Herman. He misunderstood the point of a question I asked and became outraged at me. He was barely monosyllabic for a the rest of the exchange.

my goodness, what did he think you said?

was he hard of hearing?
  7:46pm
Doug Schulkind:

I was trying to ask him what it was like to have to play all the old “hits” night after night. I was commiserating. Be he thought I was criticizing him for sticking to a popular set list.
Avatar 7:46pm
Flash Strap:

ah, that's too bad
  7:49pm
Doug Schulkind:

Because I knew Herman’s book was filled with adventurous material, I assumed he loathed having to play mostly the same familiar standards. I guess I got my answer.
Avatar 7:51pm
Flash Strap:

some guys, man
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 7:53pm

It seems that performers usually would rather not have to play the hits time after time unless they change it up a bit out of boredom
