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.

A: Thursday evenings on the Drummer Stream!!
Between Explorers Room and The Cool Blue Flame, there is no spot on any radio dial anywhere in the world more steaming more teeming with sonic biodiversity. Where the exotic is prosaic, and the mundane is miraculous. The wisdom and expertise behind these broadcasts is a glory to behold.
Stop by the pledge bucket and drop in a few ducats in honor of Maestro Flash Strap and his wonderful show!
