Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from November 10, 2016 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.

Avatar 7:15pm
Flash Strap:

Roy Harper on this song: "a testament to my lifelong devotion to espousing equal rights for all humans. I have long since wondered about the wisdom of stating that you have more than the capacity to hate your own race for its misdemeanors, but as a polemic it has been both an effective tool and somewhere of a place to stand."

ndbob:

hating your own race is as bad as hating any race - this song is vile
Avatar 7:18pm
junglepete:

Evening Flash!....this song's a very apt choice...ndbob, I think this is more a statement about the capacity to hate the things that the
hegemon does. Not whites, per se.

Ed:

Evening Flash and all!
Avatar 7:20pm
ndbob:

still though Evan - it's a song of hate and intolerance
Avatar 7:21pm
Flash Strap:

I think it's not meant to be taken strictly literally, bob, and I think we can all relate to a certain extent to the sentiment. Moreover, whiteness is a construct to which all "white" people may not feel they want to belong. The "White Man" should be interpreted as a kind of literary-historical construct, here. basically hegemony, imperialism, etc.

also, it would be fair game to hate white people if you ask me, but your mileage may vary according to ideology and interpretation of history

Re: 2016 ending with the death of Leonard Cohen, woah, woah, 2016 isn't over yet, and I have a hunch it might have a few more nasty or weird surprises in store for us.

Friends, I'm here to dispense musical palliatives for worried souls tonight on the Cool Blue Flame. Soul, jazz and disco from a place of love, struggle, strength, light and peace. Hope you'll join me here: wfmu.org...

I want to say something encouraging, and it's this; the
world needs our attention. There are infinite problems to be solved and it looks very dark but I believe the best way to get through whatever happens is to choose an issue you're passionately concerned about and do something to change it.
To me the fundamental issue is climate change and its consequences. There are various organizations, there are gardens,education and advocacy,classes to teach, macro and micro scaled approaches to take. Being engaged feels good, turns despair into hope. If anyone agrees, choose something.
Apologies friends. Heartfelt and well meant.
Beautiful,helpful show Evan. Thank you.

Sigh, listening on archives. The Old Revolution has one of my favorite lines -- Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
