MARIA SABINA-EL TRI
13 AprMaria Sabina was a mexican curandera who worked with psilocybin mushrooms and it was through her that the west first became aware of the existence of the magic mushrooms, when mycologist R. Gordon Wasson and his wife Valentina met her and became the first westerners to participate in a traditional mushroom ceremony, in 1955. The rest was history, as this event, and the ensuing article in LIFE magazine were among the most important catalysts leading to the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s. Those of you who don’t know who Maria Sabina might want to first go and read her Wikipedia article.
This song, by Mexican rock group El Tri, celebrates the figure of Maria Sabina calling her “a symbol of the wisdom of love.” Great song.

Dan Deacon – When I Was Done Dying
4 AprWhat an astounding thing collaborative effort can be. A few names and styles I recognized, a few I did not, and this video has made me awfully excited to check out the works of the unfamiliar ones.
And at this point, I think it bears mentioning that this is just one of a fair number of videos on this blog that have been featured on Adult Swim. Adult Swim, I think, is much closer to What MTV Should Be than MTV itself is. Practically everyone I know in their late teens and early twenties appreciates at least one show on Adult Swim, and the music videos they broadcast are consistently worthy selections.
Coolness is the supreme value by which networks and products are to be judged when you’re aiming for this demographic. And I’m sorry, MTV, but these days it seems that Adult Swim is a cooler kid than you are.
