Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer and Digging in the Dirt
23 OctI did the search three times… I just couldn’t believe that nobody posted this until now.
These music videos really left an impression on my young brain when I encountered them accidentally on MTV in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I still get the feeling that these impressions get locked away again the moment the video stops. If you asked me now what happens in either one – five minutes after watching them again- I think I couldn’t tell you. There is something about a snail…
Acid Couch
16 Oct“I have done acid. Will you babysit me, please? I cannot get off the couch.”
You can play it here right away in your browser.
you gotta believe: PaRappa the Rapper 2
9 OctThis game, as well as the first one (on ps1), is full of psychedelic awesomeness. It is a rhythm game for ps2 not unlike Space Channel 5. And from the first moment on you feel it is one from the days when those games still had the freedom to aim for pleasing a niche audience instead of everyone and their parents. Another one for the list of stoner game classics.
The second video shows you some of the gameplay and the third one is a song from the game but looks just like a very cute music video.
Enjoy!
Trippy Trends in Minecraft: Freefall
2 OctWe have covered Minecraft before here on dpv. But this time the psychedelic activity is completely user generated. And this proofs an important point: If people would live in a box of legos they would still look for a way to trip.
It is also interesting to compare the aesthetics especially of the first video to the trippy sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Les Rallizes Denudes – People Can Choose
25 SepIn a way this is where all the great japanese psychedelic feedback and noise rock originates.

Laurel Halo – Embassy
11 SepYou might not remember the 80’s as a particularly psychedelic decade. Now here are your new memories. This is a video of beautifully blissful 80’s laser disco psychedelia. Enjoy!

More Psychedelic PC Gaming: The Unfinished Swan
4 SepThis one is kind of picking up the thread from The Devil’s Tuning Fork and the recent Painting Reality post.
Like The Devil’s Tuning Fork you are exploring your surroundings from a first person perspective through creative interaction. The world may be already there and finished, but your possibilities of interaction depend on you filling the – in this case big white or big black – blanks.
Mushroom Enhanced Kung Fu Fighting: Rag Doll Kung Fu
28 AugThe original Rag Doll Kung Fu was an independently developed (by the now “game of the year”-famous makers of Little Big Planet) drug infested rag doll fighting game. It was blasting with marijuana leaves, explicit mushroom abuse and colorful space and time bending effects. I would say it was THE stoner-movie among video games.
You can still play it and there is a free-to-play demo available. Check out the games homepage.
