Everyday Psychedelia Pt.2: Night Flights
7 AugWhenever I book a flight to a big city I try to make it a night landing. Those pulsing breathing organisms of light look so alien and soothing.
Popee The Performer is here to freak you out!
10 JulIn case you ever thought that even a bad trip has some truth to tell you, there should be more than enough truth in this show to endure its uncanny “realism”.
Please be careful watching this in any unstable condition of the mind and… enjoy!
Sailor Moon
27 JunSailor Moon is one of the super-successful Japanese anime series of the 90’s (It also has a whole franchise of manga, merchandise and other stuff). It demonstrates the popular genre of “Magical girl warrior”, in which girl warriors release their magical or psychic powers through transformation sequences that mostly include magic rituals like… changing clothes.
Yes, you heard that right. In this genre  (That has already spread out of Japan), controlling supernatural magic is done by changing to the the right outfit. It’s hard to understand what is the idea behind this. Does it try to convey a commercial message? Or does it symbolize an inner mental transformation, like in “Synchronization” in Neon Genesis Evangelion (Another famed anime series from the 90’s)?
It’s only purpose is probably to look cool in the eyes of the girls that form the show’s audience. But as long as it is presented with psychedelic-like visuals of glowing colors and surreal images, it satisfies me! If you are looking for more clips like these, Youtube is just loaded with them.
Doctor Who?
20 JunWhat we are dealing with here in this batch of clips, is not the  program “Doctor Who” itself, but with the various main title sequences that were produced for it since it was  launchec in 1963 and were always styled with spacey/psychedelic visuals… But the program also offers some far-out  ideas to fuel your imagination with (like time travel, communication with aliens, etc.)
Well, here are the opening titles from the original 1963 production, one version in black and white and one colorized version which looks even better:
And a web clip which compiles all the opening sequences from the show’s history, and provide different styles of sci-fi inspired animation:
The obsolete man / The twilight Zone
25 May
episode (n° 065), 1961 /
What could be more psychedelic than the famous Twilight zone ?
In a future totalitarian state, Romney Wordsworth (Meredith) is a man put on trial for the crime of being “obsolete”. His occupation as a librarian is a crime punishable by death, as the State has eliminated literacy. He also believes in God, also punishable by death, as the State has declared that there are no Gods. He is prosecuted by the Chancellor (Weaver), who announces in front of the assembled court that Wordsworth, in not being an asset to the State, shall be liquidated.
Catnip
26 FebDeliberately using other species, mostly plants, to change one’s conciseness is a cross cultural phenomena, that is well known. But it’s easy to forget that other species show similar behavior…
Not exactly a psychedelic video, but it made me go “purrrr”
Neon Genesis Evangelion Episode 26 – Shinji’s Mind at the end of the world
3 JanTo my mind, Hideaki Anno’s Neon Genesis Evangelion is probably the best, most mind blowing television series ever created and probably the most mind shattering material ever recorded on video. It changed my life when I first watched it around 2003 and I will forever be grateful to it.
This episode, from episode 26, the final episdoe of the original series (1995) is part of the ultra-psychedelic trip Shinji is going through is mind right around the end of the world. It deals with very fundamental truths about who we are and draws from Freud , among others, but reminds me of a the death-rebirth experiences which one might undergo during a psychedelic experience. (“Death-Rebirth” is incidentally the name of one of the two Evangelion films which were produced in 1997).
