Recently, I’ve become aware of the existence of Vaporware, an interesting genre from the early 2010s which meshes together some cheesy and dreamy 1980s and 1990s sounds and aesthetics in some often pretty weird ways. Watching a couple of these vaporware videos can really get you dizzy. Is vaporware psychedelic? I’m not sure, but I think there’s definitely something interestingly surrreal going on there. What do you think?

There is a lot in the 1980s that wasn’t clearly recognized as psychedelic because the style wasn’t really 1960s psychedelia, but where I nevertheless find some distinctly free-rolling, psychedelic qualities. B-52 serves as a good example. “The love shack is a little old place where we can get together.”

The Winter Olympics will close this Sunday. Watching some of the reruns made me realize God is a skier, and the ski piste is the road to enlightenment. Just watch that flow.
