Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from June 23, 2016 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.

...& one pet topic is the ways in which the common myth that there was nothing betwixt Elvis in the Army & The Beatles in America - is true - & is definitely *not* true. Surf is one of the more important cornerstones there - especially for the future of Rawk Guitar (ferinstance). Dick Dale was pushing amplifier volume & limitations w/ Fender on the West Coast - & Fender amps were the direct model for the Marshall amps in England that The Who would help pioneer - & the rest is HardRawk history...

Avatar 8:47pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

The BBoys v. Beatles dynamic is relevant to this day I think. I've thot about it long enuff that I concluded that the B.Boys emotional root tone is the Pre-Kennedy Assassination America - & The Beatles share in that w/ also a lot of the hope for a Revolutionary world beyond that. There is heavy Nostalgia as a them &/or tone in both bands.
I'm just old enuff that The Ventures had riffs that were important in teaching us guitar - like the yARdbiRds were.
Heard just a little Shadows from England - & they're like the British Ventures - very kewl rekkids that you never hear anywhere...

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

@geez: 'Raunchy', actually. & what Paul played for John when they met was Eddie Cochran's '20 Flight Rock'. Impressive he could tune the guitar, & knew the whole thing...What John was singing when Paul 1st saw him was the DelVikings' 'Come & Go With Me' - but he didn't know all the words & was making up edgier ones - which impressed Paul...
Learned that some of what I admired Carl Stalling for was actually Raymond Scott. & Scott got a lot of flack for his style @ the time, I think is the story...

Well this is interesting! Irwin Chusid / Raymod Scott connection...

"His legacy underwent a revival in the early 1990s after Irwin Chusid met Raymond and his wife Mitzi at their home in California and discovered a vast collection of unreleased recordings of rehearsals and studio sessions.[15] In 1992, the release of Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights on Columbia produced by Irwin Chusid (with Hal Willner as executive producer) was the first major-label CD compilation of his groundbreaking 1937–39 six-man quintet. A year earlier, Irwin Chusid and Will Friedwald produced a CD of live Scott quintet broadcasts titled The Man Who Made Cartoons Swing for the Stash label. Around this time, the director of The Ren & Stimpy Show, John Kricfalusi, began hot-wiring his cartoon episodes with original Scott quintet recordings."
