I am not sure this is what they meant when they were talking about “flower power” in the sixties, but this clip, titled “psychedelic warfare” on YouTube has already reached more than 3 million views. So this is what happens when guns go psychedelic…
The first episode of Mr. Freeman, one of the more original and refreshing internet phenomena to have emerged in the last years, is a dark pitched appeal to consumers of mass-reality to start questioning their existence as part of the big machine.
This primitivistically drawn and ingeniously dubbed video which became an huge internet hit on the russian web, is a like concentrated mind-shattering medicine to hyper-mediated brains fettered by mass-media and a call to go out of your mind, out of the constraints of culture (Remember Terence Mckenna who said: Culture is not your friend) and find the path to true existence.
(If you don’t speak Russian, it would be a good idea to turn on the captions “CC” button)
I think it’s time to reveal the psychedelic videos of DPV’s founder, Ido Hartogshon. His diverse enterprises include a political (?) party, a motivational course for personal and universal Geula, a birthday party for the whole universe, and a series of commercials that explain why marijuana is evil. and most of these are psychedelicly documented in his funny and extremely good vibe youtube page.
Frank Zappa’s 1971 feature film (93 minutes, directed with Tony Palmer) is not for the week at heart: it’s super intensive, slapstick psychedelia with a hardly noticeable plot line to follow – something about a band on an endless crazy tour. Zappa fans love it, to judge from imdb message boards, while the rest render it “unwatchable”; still no one claims to understand it.
200 motels features The Mothers Of Invention (Zappa himself plays a side role as a musician in the band), animation by Charles Swenson, Kieth Moon in drag as a Nun, and Ringo Star as Larry The Dwarf, who pretends to be Frank Zappa.
“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!
