Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from February 24, 2022 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 searched Discogs (of course), not so easy to get...

the vocal snippet is, I believe, from the theater piece (spoken by John Graham): the line is "she moves, she follows" but is truncated to "she moves she"

I was just catching up on the comments. I have a teapot that plays in C. Has a harmonica reed. I no longer use it because I think I ruined it. Maybe by accidentally heating it when it didn't have any water in it.

some have questioned Clinton's line that they recorded this whole album on LSD - perhaps rightly so - but this track is so ecstatically fried, the vocals so indelibly Freaked Out, that i have no choice but to believe the mythology

I saw George Clinton once. But they must have been smoking huge amounts of weed, because it was soooo laid back. THIS is some kind of nut butter.

Franco Twinkie:

The owner of the cat record was a friend who apparently lost his mind. About a year ago he called and wanted to come and visit. I asked him if he was vaxxed and he gave me the all crazy person party-line answers why he wasn't going to do it. That was the last time we spoke. It bothered me so much I couldn't even talk about it for about six months. Of course he got it I heard.

He had an amazing record collection he had to sell to pay off debts. Too bad.
