Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from April 13, 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.

i have to agree with Mr. Fab @9.16...though that Boa Constrictor & a Natural Vine will surely give it a run.

Yes, Forry was a wonderful character, but I believe a lot of his collection was purchased by a Microsoft guy for a sci-fi museum, so you may see it all one day. Not quite the same as being in 4E's living room, but still..

Forry was a shameless self-promoter, though, including flat-out false claims (claiming awards that he hadn't won, etc). I was in s.f. fandom, and got very tiresome how "important" he was to science fiction. Now, monster fandom, there he was important.

I was just driving in an old jeep, so no blue tooth, no WFMU, so I was listening to the NPR's station's The Electro Lounge, and they were playing Senor Coconut's "Showroom Buddies". Probably the best song I've heard them play since I heard Eno 18 years ago.
