Back in the 1960s, in the height of the psychedelic era, even the house band of the Israeli army’s infantry division “Nahal” started dabbling in psychedelics. Taking this well known traditional hymn “My dear son Ephraim” (Ha-Ben Yakir Li Ephraim), mixing it with some psychedelic sounds and images as well as some shtetel style, the band created this unique and quite extraordinary clip. Enjoy.

Hippie Modernism at the Walker Art Center
31 Oct
If you happen to be in Minneapolis, MN in the next few months, check out the new show, Hippie Modernism, at The Walker Art Center.
From The Walker Art Center website:
“Loosely organized around Timothy Leary’s famous mantra, “Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out,” the exhibition charts the evolution of the period, from pharmacological, technological, and spiritual means to expand consciousness and alter one’s perception of reality, to the foment of a publishing revolution that sought to create new networks of like-minded people and raise popular awareness to some of the era’s greatest social and political struggles, to new ways of refusing mainstream society in favor of ecological awareness, the democratization of tools and technologies, and a more communal survival.”
