Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from June 9, 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.

the thing i really want to read is The Eternaut, written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld (who wrote some strip stuff that Hugo Pratt did art for) and drawn by the Argentine Francisco Solano Lopez.

the last real Tintin, Tintin and the Picaros, is far from the best but is real real weird. I love when Hergé gets his rather simple understanding of geopolitics involved in pastiches of extremely complicated insurrectionist goings-on

fantastic show, Flash! i agree with every single thing you said earlier, it's really some of the most inventive, profound and mesmerizing music of this century...saw them twice in Paris, i won't ever miss an occasion to see them live
Avatar 9:05pm
Flash Strap:

I agree. And I love Tintin with all my heart. Such an alt-dimension portrait of Europe and its empire in the early 20th century, with every panel a perfect cinematic composition.

That said, Hergé's racist tendencies/anti-semitic sympathies, while they did evolve significantly, are embarrassing and should always be noted and criticized. it's the only way to really save the work, I think.

That is why Blue Lotus is so fascinating though, it;s a portrait of a man critiquing his own racial attitudes toward the Chinese

since we're talking weird experimental short movies, i'm gonna share my most recent fave find on Youtube. Films by Takashi, Ito from the 80's. They're amazing. SPACY (www.youtube.com...), GHOST (www.youtube.com...), THUNDER (www.youtube.com...).

accidentally moved into an affordable (by my previous san francisco standards) apt in a snooty neighborhood in boulder. the area, including denver, is void of cultural things im into overall.

also the normal occurrence of crossing a raging river over a downed tree on an impromptu weekday hike in the northwest soothes me as a drift off into slumber at night...

also i can't properly play and make music where i am due to neighbors.
