Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from April 16, 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.

nice. i found a raccoon on my 4th floor balcony once in cambridge, but i guess that's nothing.

I have a friend who used to fed them until it got out of control - 40 once in her back yard

I grew up with chickens, so I was essentially trained by circumstance to view them as the enemy, but they are so magical and intelligent I can't help but love them now. The HANDS

hyde:

@Glenn they are cool. and they're bold as hell. in the town i grew up in, i came home one night, opened the garage door to park the car and spied a raccoon going through the garbage. he paused for a second to check me out, and then went straight back to pawing through the garbage.

Huh, I bet that's actually pretty accurate, though I wonder if it would have such a hard ZHAY, or more of a ZHER. Still, it's the hard G for me

Sorry I missed it, Gary. I've missed a lot lately...for various reasons. Sometimes the reason is baseball and/or hockey, I'm afraid. Last night it was "and."

Man, I am so pleased, just pleased a punch, if I get to be the fellow who introduces you to Nardini. He is so cool.

What do you guys want to hear next week? I'm thinking all-Donovan, but I could do a big non-exotic jazz/electronic Umiliani marathon. Or mystery bag Exotica.

according to this piece in the 2008 Best Music writing, it sounds like the fake Nino Nardini record was put out by a guy named Gabe Roth, who apparently did a lot of fake records on Desco books.google.com...

So it's Gary vs. Hyde on the Donovan/Umiliani debate?
Avatar 8:44pm
hyde:

i guess he's the Daptone Records guy. he says in the piece that they mainly put out the fake records because they sold, whereas when they put out the same music under a real name no one wanted to buy it.

James Last/Les Humphries?

Do you mean "Hurdy Gurdy Man" Donovan, or some other Donovan?
Avatar 8:50pm

There is only one Donovan that I even want to know about, and it is he of the Hurdy Gurdy
Avatar 8:51pm
fleep:

Well, this solves a mystery for me. Old Paul Terry 'Farmer Al Falfa' silent cartoons were bought by Common Wealth and had library music added on, which is burned into my brain (and maybe yours). The opening music is a frantic jokey number and I never knew it had a name until today. It's Komic Kapers by Roger Roger. Thanks, FS!

Wow, that's so cool. It's actually really rare that I hear production library music that I already know in its natural habitat. But that's definitely the embryonic reason I love the stuff so much
Avatar 8:56pm
hyde:

I can't win because of a two minute web search! plus, Donovan is cool too. My internet is flaking something firce right now, so I'm gonna say thanks for the show and sign off.

I mean, this stuff gets into all of us just by osmosis and media saturation. We are all already born knowing Raymond Scott's cartoon music, for example
