MGMT – Time to Pretend
7 May
This one has the whole trip: it begins with a group tribal hunter-gatherers dancing around a fire, shooting giraffes, beating on tribal drums and riding shamanistic power animals in the astral, the psychedelic realm. Andrew VanWyngarden shooting down his inner monsters with glowing fire arrows. Things get even more psychedelic when MGMT group members kneel down to receive a pill on the tongue in what appears to be a highly psychoactive sacrament. Then comes a homage to a scene from Alexander Jodrowsky’s avant-garde esoteric film the holy mountain, where the heroes throw stacks of money into an enflamed hole in the centre of a round table. Then Maya temples and the vision begins a new. Post-modern computer generated psychedelic aesthetics with primitivist, esoteric, and mythical themes – what more could you ask for!

Rabbit
3 May* BAD TRIP Notice – Caution this clip features dark materials and might catalyze bad trips, especially while under the influence of psychedelics.
A surreal story about a country house, a boy, a girl, a rabbit and a demon. Kind of bad trip material, so be careful when you watch it, but we liked it.

REM – Imitation of Life
1 May
Not your typical psychedelic clip, but aside for the interesting techniques used to make this one, I find the changes in perspectives to be pretty psychedelic. One pool party, but multiple realities coexisting one near another. This video clip give us a nice illustration of the multiple universes surrounding us in life.
McDonalds psychedelic commercial
30 AprPsychedelic motives and melodious hamburgers in this McDonalds commercial form the late 1960’s. A prime example for the adaptation of psychedelic aesthetics and themes in late sixties mainstream culture. Psychedelics gone carnivorous and highly commercialized.
Apogee – Japanese Psychedelia
29 AprEnchanted forest psychedelia from Japanese band Apogee. I’d like to take a walk in this magic forest.
