View Flash Strap's profile |
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.

Hyde! It's pretty godawful cold in Bahama right now, so the Bahamas thing is helping. Supposed to get down to 18 or so tonight and the assholes who are supposed to fix my chimney so I can use my wood stove keep deciding it's TOO COLD to work on it! Ah Dammit

Not sure how much I've actually heard 'Folk' versions of John B. even. What about the roots of 'Louie Louie'? That would be interesting...
