“I had the misfortune to be nourished by the dreams and visions of great Americans—the poets and seers. Some other breed of man has won out. This world which is in the making fills me with dread. I have seen it germinate; I can read it like a blue-print. It is not a world I want to live in. It is a world suited for monomaniacs obsessed with the idea of progress—a false progress, a progress which stinks. It is a world cluttered with useless objects which men and women, in order to be exploited and degraded, are taught to regard as useful. The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. Whatever does not lend itself to being bought and sold, whether in the realm of things, ideas, principles, dreams or hopes, is debarred. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.” Henry Miller Member of the Wasted Time Appreciation Circle: http://8tracks.com/w_t_a_c_

Local and Lovin’ It

*** Music you probably haven't heard before. *** These mixes largely focus on, or at least include traditional and folk music worldwide including its modern, fusion, or experimental renditions, with stress on South-Eastern and Eastern Europe to Central Asia. *** Sometimes though they're simply the stuff I like and want to share with everyone out there.

Just another drop in the ocean.
