Are these videos psychedelic or just bizarre?
15 Apr
I have a friend who always sends me video links saying “You’ve got to watch this video! It’s hyper-psychedelic”.
Then, when I watch the videos, they just seem bizarre.
We have endless quarrels about this: He say’s it’s psychedelic. I say it’s just bizarre.
Then he says: You need to stop making this anachronistic dichotomy between bizarre and psychedelics.
Maybe, I’m wrong. I mean, I’m not very sure, and I admit the boundaries between psychedelic videos and bizarre ones can get blurry.
So what do you think? Are these videos psychedelic or just plain bizarre?

Caldera
11 AprCaldera is an amazing short animation video by Evan Viera, and this is what he says about this video:
CALDERA is inspired by my father’s struggle with schizoaffective disorder. In states of delusion, my father has danced on the rings of Saturn, spoken with angels, and fled from his demons. He has lived both a fantastical and haunting life, but one that’s invisible to the most of us. In our differing understanding of reality, we blindly mandate his medication, assimilate him to our marginalizing culture, and entirely misinterpret him for all he is worth. CALDERA aims to not only venerate my father, but all brilliant minds forged in the haunted depths of psychosis.

Some songs from The Mighty Boosh
6 AprThe Mighty Boosh is an hilarious, surreal, mystical and highly psychedelic BBC comedy show created by Julian Barrat and Noel Fielding. Besides featuring a talking gorilla, the show’s cast of characters also includes a variety of shamans and drug dealers.
Somewhat surprisingly perhaps, The Mighty Boosh, has not only gained a cult status, but also attracted massive following with over one million people watching the first episode of the show’s third season.
Most of the episodes are available to watch on YouTube, and if you are a fan of psychedelic comedy, you’ve got to watch at least a few episodes. You won’t regret it.
Here is one of the classic episodes from the series, The Legend of Old Gregg:
