Turkish Coffee – Arik Einstein clip by Dudu Geva
28 MayDudu Geva was one of Israel’s foremost comics artists. His style was chaotic, radical and very psychedelic. Geva created this video to Arik Einstein’s song “Turkish Coffee” in 1974. It is the first Israeli music video, and has a strong 1970’s psychedelic style. The actor in the clip is Geva himself, incidentally.
Nicki Minaj – Stupid Hoe & Super Bass
26 May
Hip Hop artist Nicki Minaj has been noted for her psychedelic wardrobe and style . Like other pop artists which were featured here on the DPV such as Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kesha and Rihanna, Minaj uses psychedelic elements in her work and proves that the psychedelic style holds great appeal for today’s popular culture. Even though the message of her videos is far from psychedelic, the visuals are blatantly pyschedelic, which makes me think once again about the way in which psychedelic aesthetics has migrated into exceedingly different segments of popular culture, and ask myself about the role which psychedelic aesthetics play in such an environment.
Anyway, enjoy the clips.

The Beatles – Only A Northern Song
28 AprWe’ve had a 2 videos from the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine Beatles on Wednesday’s list of “Top 50 psychedelic videos of all time“, both in the top 5, which made me think of the film.
The years have passed and only a northern song remains one of my favorite songs ever. With the 1968 “Yellow Submarine” animations it is one of it’s kind.
