Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from December 14, 2023 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.

That's very interesting ! I think Gaylord & probly a few other FMU-Js know the specific Artists or even trax... Some have been played - a kind of N'Orleans upbeat shuffle perhaps that points right to the ska beat...
Always said that N'Orleans has @ stages been more Caribbean than part of the USA in various aspects...

Everybody in normal natural speech puts qualifiers on 'unique'. So degrees & relative qualities of uniqueness are also, I think, natural & normal. It is speech, not maths...
