R.E.M Music videos

23 Jan

It was some surprise for me to find out that the music videos to  two of R.E.M’s most well-known singles from the 90′s have a somewhat psychedelic style to them.

Both of them have hallucinatory qualities to them, but I especially like how the beautiful video for “Losing My Religion” has the feeling that it takes place inside someone’s mind. The things that the imagery does to the watcher’s imagination… I guess that’s the sort of thing that Terrence McKenna said about it that ”There is a transcendental dimension beyond language…”.

I would also recommend to watch them without the sound, especially the first one. The images can speak for themselves.

Rain Tears by Get People

4 Nov

This video utilizes a collage-like style to integrate clips into a psychedelic composition which ascends from terrestrial to celestial realms.

MIKA – Lolipop

7 Aug

Just a lighthearted, pop-flavored fantasy from the musician MIKA.

Have a fun day :^)

Devin Flynn animates weird shit

7 Jun

Don’t show these to a seizure-prone person, please.

Flying Lotus – Parisian Goldfish. Animations by Devin Flynn, director: Eric Wareheim. This is psychedelic porn.

Lightning Bolt – 13 Monsters

Y’all So Stupid

After watching these you’re probably wondering how to influence your child to grow up like Devin. Well, go on and read the interview by Vice Magazine to find out all the necessary information.

Tahiti 80 – Solitary Bizness

24 May

Wholesome pop psychedelia directed by Daisuke Kitayama.

Need more Chad VanGaalen!!

10 May

Chad VanGaalen – Clinically dead

Chad VanGaalen – Red Hot Drops

J Mascis – Not Enough

Vexy posted an animated music video by Mr. VanGaalen a while back and I have also had this particular tryptaminic multimediumist on my list of weirdness to post for over half a year. This stream of consciousness type of stuff might not be groundbreaking, but hey: you can’t do this with any computer simulation! Watch out for the morphing little birdies in the sky with diamonds near the end of the third video.

Edit: I have to add these two to the collection, music also by Mr. VanGaalen under an alias:
Black Mold: Metal Spiderwebs
Black Mold: Fuck Ebay
More of them diamonds and some birdies too.

Teppei Maki – animated music vids

29 Mar

Some Japanese grooves visualized by Teppei Maki. I’m seeing some influences from Vince Collins in the DJ Kentaro vid, but of course the original influences are universal.

Broadcast- Papercuts

22 Jan

I used to love this band so much! long stoned afternoons of a Jerusalem summer listening to Broadcast, but that hadn’t happened for a couple of years now. Sadly, I started looking for their videos only this week, when I heard about the untimely death of Trish Keenan, their lead singer.  The hypnotic object spinning in this video is a dream machine, that 7eit posted about here. So beautiful.
