Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from March 28, 2019 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.

In 1966 they would play the WCPAEB version of Help I'm A Rock on KHJ in L.A. I would walk around in the back yard with my transistor radio glued to my ear, wondering what a Freak Out was.

I've never heard either Serpent Power LP, Franco - you recommend?
Avatar 7:48pm

in fact a closer embrace of avant garde elements and thought would have led to a much more rich, more actually psychedelic, psychedelic movement. i cherish that which there is

Been a couple of suburban psych snobs, when we found the first Ultimate Spinach record in a cut out bin, my sister and I laughed so hard, I threw it onto the roof of our house where it stayed for several years. How I wish I had never done that.

As I often wonder about the age the DJ's on WFMU, and what their personal experience with the music they play was/is. You gave me a clue when your said ...from my childhood, Crinlkewood Green... The first time I saw that ablum, it was brought into class by this stoner named Oscar. The same class that the teacher told me about going to school with Mark and Howard. I was fifteen, so that makes you...
