Soviets and Yellow Submarine

31 May

Some Soviet animators apparently were influenced by the aesthetics of Yellow Submarine and you can watch the evidence below. Thanks for the info, Russian Wikipedia.

A Box with Secret / Шкатулка с секретом (1976). Director: Valery Ugarov

Merry-Go-Round 1. Inattentive Giovanni / Веселая карусель N°1. Рассеянный Джованни (1969). Director: Anatoli Petrov. Starts at 1.32 in the video, but I think you will want to watch the first one, too!


Merry-Go-Round 5. This movie is about you, isn’t it? / Веселая карусель N°5. Не про тебя ли этот фильм? (1973)

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.
