Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from June 20, 2024 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.

↳ Song: "Judas" by "Errol Brown"
we recently heard the version of this track that shows up on another Errol Brown LP, Dub Everlasting, which has the same tracklist but different mixes. 3 versions exist, the 3rd being Marcus Garvey, credited to Sonia Pottinger

mine was from driving on the country's highways for months with the car windows open. my hair was almost ass-length.
- a friend in illinois painstakingly untangled it. i'd assumed that was not possible! but she showed me i only lost -was it 5 hairs? maybe 10? ...i lose more than that every time i take a shower!
