Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from April 14, 2016 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.

This is one of my favorite sort of Eddie Harris compositions: a straight-ahead funk jazz thing that gets caught up in a tornado of echoplex until it just takes off for space and returns to its home planet

Still lurking, busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest. The avatar is a flower that bloomed in my front yard. I didn't plant it, so I don't know what it is!

Mad, but these in-horn growls, mews and such are really doing it for me. And that's definitely a bird of paradise there.

and is that Olmec or Toltec?
Avatar 7:48pm
Carmichael:

Thanks for the ID, Stepchild! Must have been the previous owner. It finally rained in NorCal, so something decided to grow.
Avatar 7:50pm
Flash Strap:

It's an Olmec, ostensibly, but its source is pretty pulpy so the archaeologic accuracy of it is up for critique
Avatar 7:52pm
geezerette:

I dig it!

...which seems appropriate.

@geezerette & NGH & everyone: I am so happy this stuff is tickling your fancy. Eddie Harris is a total revelation to me, but a lot of the literature around him is sort of ho-hum about his legacy... I'm just thrilling to this listening party, so happy to have you all with me tonight

sometimes I use cusses and say swears and I'm not sure if I should feel righteous about that or not–I don't know where you're listening from! But also, the stream is revolutionary radio, nothing is off limits!
