Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from September 28, 2017 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.

Very likely but unproven that the singer on these track is the man himself. just a helpful reminder that Vince Guaraldi looks like this: assets.onlinepianist.com...

Your show came on and I was still at work, and I knew I had to leave (I was the last person there for 2.5 hours.). I finally left around 9. Good news, I'm working, and it's like the company has been waiting for a GIS guy to do some work for the last year. So, guaranteed job security.
