Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from May 7, 2015 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.

Of course. my night light is one of those plastic Jesus affairs, but with a plastic skull over his face, so he looks like a dead monk in the catacombs of Paris. Also, he has a circular hologram of Buddha behind his head, like a halo.

Ir is very wise to give to the generous people, who always find a way to share... By the way, great laughs everytime I see the collage with the ex king of Greece at your blog.. It brings back memories that I didn't know I had..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:33pm
pacific standard simon:

This music strikes me as being more conducive to Beatnik activities than Hippie stuff. Or perhaps the classic Playboy Pad.
Avatar 7:34pm
Flash Strap:

Well, I'd agree with you there, PSS. Playboy pad, or Explorers Room?

yay, Bibliotheque Exotique. Little known fact: when I had my family over for Thanksgiving dinner last year, I just put the five volumes of this on as background music for the day.
Avatar 7:53pm
Ike:

Beatniks are just sophisticated proto-hippies with berets! Well, not really, but calling you (and me) a bunch of filthy exotic beatniks doesn't have quite the same ring to it. No wait, maybe it does. Hmm.

He was also an Olympic athlete. IMDB says that the reviews of this movie were so bad that he never made another.

@pss wow, I've seen Buster Crabbe, Lex Barker and Weismuller Tarzans, (natch), but I've never seen Glenn Morris.

Great show! The entire Bibliotheque Exotique is my go to music while hanging out in my (Tiki) garden. Love the new additions . Can we expect a Vol. 6?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:21pm

Some male chestal nudity, but no monkey suits so far -- just real animals. Humorous scene of Cheetah banging his nuts on a rock.

Thanks, Wilbo. That makes me happy about your garden.
As for Vol. 6, definitely. In time.

does everone here already know that Sleazy Listening (sleazy-listening.blogspot.com) came back? Bunch of newish posts (Ortolani, Morricone, Nicolai, Micalizzi etc) and he re-upped near everything so there's a boatload of Umiliani, Fidenco, Francis Lai et al all there now.

You're going to love this, hyde: the producer considered casting Lou Gehrig as Tarzan, but decided his legs weren't good enough. Probably just as well...
