Jacco Gardner is a dutch neo-psychedelic pop artist who looks and sounds as if he came in a time machine directly from 1967, and we love him. Clear The Air is his first Single.
And here is another exquisite 60’s style psychedelic clip from Jacco.

Brian Jonestown Massacre – Illuminomi

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:
Tomorrow Never Knows
13 JunHi there. This is my first post as a new contributor and I’m glad to meet you!
This is a very cool home made music clip for this amazing psychedelic song by the Beatles. The music is very trippy while the lyrics are some of the deepest I’ve known.
There is nothing like a bored bunch of teenagers to make for an exciting video clip. However it is open to decide if this particular one is subversive, or to be more exact – what it subverts: mainstream culture, or psychedelic culture. This clip mixes psychedelic imagery from suburbia with long scenes of eating a burger in McDonalds. It is hard to realize what its supposed to mean or of it even is supposed to mean something, but it smells like teen spirit, and I like it!
So enjoy!

The Porpoise Song, The Monkees, out of Head (1968)
4 JunIn 1968, with the psychedelic and political revolution at its peak, even The Monkees, who were previously known as a standard commercial-pop group were working on a psychedelic film with revolutionary themes.
“Head” (1968), was very different from anything the Monkees have done before. It was psychedelically inspired and this is noticeable both in terms of music, as well as in terms of narrative and the character of the film.
The movie actually makes fun of the commercial plastic image of the monkees in a silly sounding song which goes:
He, hey, we are The Monkees
You know we love to please
A manufactured image
With no philosophies.
[…]
You say we’re manufactured.
To that we all agree.
So make your choice and we’ll rejoice
in never being free!
Hey, hey, we are The Monkees
We’ve said it all before
The money’s in, we’re made of tin
We’re here to give you more!
The money’s in, we’re made of tin
We’re here to give you…
The final “We’re here to give you…” is interrupted by a gunshot, and footage of an execution of a Viet Cong operative. The line between commercialism, revolution and psychedelics becomes blurred again and agin. Such messages are interspersed throughout the film, which has a variety of subversive moments.
The Porpoise Song which appears near the beginning of the film features Micky Dolenz and some beautiful psychedelic underwater colors. A prime example of 1960s psychedelic film aesthetics.
