Psychedelic Ke$ha – Your love is my drug
26 JulUltra-capitalistic mega-synthetic pop star Ke$ha has recently released a highly psychedelic video with lots of references to drug culture, psychedelic culture, shamanic culture and hippies.
This time Ke$ha, formerly in love only with the $ sign, wakes in the desert and finds herself in love with some hippie. Throughout the song she is dancing around in the desert, playing with motives of indigenous and shamanic culture (Wearing native-american styled clothing, putting on a totem mask of a tiger, or wearing glowing body painting reminding of shamanic wall and body painting) seeing hallucinations and singing about being addicted to this hippie like a “drug”, referring to herself as a “crackhead”.
Things get really wild around 1:30. In this sequence Ke$ha and the hippie are inside a boat in the middle of the desert, probably hallucinating on the “love drug”, they are trying to stir the boat through the sands when they go into a full fledged hallucination whose style kind of reminds one of “Yellow Submarine” animations and this eventually develops to fractals and more modern style psychedelic imagery.
Has Ke$ha had a new psychedelic revelation or is this just another cash-hallucination on the way to stardom. Time will tell, but we will be hoping for more psychedelic videos from Ke$ha in the future.
You can find an interesting and more world-conspiracy style interpretation of Ke$ha’s video here.
Tripmeister Eder – Tutenchamun – Goa Goa MPU, ja!?
23 JulGerman raver parody about a drugged Goa-party goer who encounters a policeman. Just unbelievably funny.
A drugged rainbow
21 Jul“The camera could not capture the vivid intensity and brightness cause the camera wasn’t on drugs” wrote someone on YouTube regarding this hilarious video. I am not sure what these guys took, or if they even took anything but their reaction to this amazing rainbow sure leads me to believe that they were in some state of cosmic enlightenment, and the camera does manage to capture the mood of that moment. Funny, amazing video!

Chemical Brothers – Under the Influence
19 JulAn amateur rendering of the Chemical Brothers’ “Under the Influence”. I love the way it makes every day life scenes seem highly psychedelic.
Spaceship Babies – Spaceship Earth
16 Jul“You are me and I am you, that’s the kind of stuff love can do”. This beautiful paean to the spaceship earth would have made Buckminster Fuller shine.

Rockfour – Time Machine
9 JulIsraeli rock group Rockfour has had a long fledged flirt with psychedelic elements. Their albums show a great amount of nostalgia to the sixties and their songs often sound like attempts to mimic the musical style of the sixties (Which is both fun, as well as at other times somewhat disappointing). Likewise, the videoclip for Rockfour’s time machine is a contemporary attempt to mimic the aesthetics of the psychedelic videoclip of the late sixities and early seventies (While making some homage to 1950’s sci-fi films). The result is a pretty accurate mimesis which blends these old motives in a fun way.
