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.

Cipriani is a really cool figure, if you aren't familiar with the subject of this song. Trinidadian hero!

The biggest gig we ever performed was part of a cavalcade of different acts, and the emcee for the evening was Tiny Tim.
I kid you not.

Tiny Tim was smelly? Thought he was obsessed with cleanliness. Unless he smelled like cleaning products?

...Looking for work is harder work than work, they say. I never got good @ it - so I tend to cling to rubbish jobs frankly...'What have you done that you're proud of??' Aside from not throttling you for not letting my work history speak for itself? Such a stoopid process...

The same guy also does podcasts on the History of Germany, The History of Alchemy, The Bohemican podcast (the history and culture of the Czech Republic from an American persepective) and translates the German podcast, The Secret Cabinet, a history of oddities that are usually too taboo for discussion or display in museums.

GoodGawd so many outstanding programs like this on this damned station. I love how the Give the Drummer Stream seems more intimate & informal - fewer people & plusher chairs, maybe, if that makes sense!...
