Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from March 11, 2021 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.

@RRN63 I thought the same. The pandemic, while terrifying, seemed like it would be a piece of cake. Strange how the isolation is affecting me now, but I've heard the reality of it hits people at different times. Just knowing you're not alone is incredibly comforting.
On that Beatles note, I had no idea how much they helped pioneer recording techniques until I went to music school. Not the biggest fan, but I respect the work ethic.
