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.

@zzz Such a cooking film. It stands out in my mind as the best new thing I saw in the last year, too, with the possible exception of "Red, White, and Blue" -- also McQueen's.

@Flash Strap: you have to see that movie, if only for the music.
King Tubby's version of "Lot's Wife" was my entrance into the riddim.

i'm having trouble remembering which, if any "notable" reggae people died in 2016. it's a blur...maybe as bad as it was it wasn't as bad for reggae - which is why i asked
. . . was Toots that long ago?

@coel: yeah, 2016 is definitely just a sad blur in that department. Also, you're right. I should've said 3/2020-3/2021.
