Lidsville Theme Song – Sid and Marty Krofft (1971)
17 FebAfter featuring a number of posts on the works of Sid and Marty Krofft over the last few weeks, I will conclude this introduction to the Krofft universe with the intro to Lidsville, their kooky 1971 children TV show.
Some more psychedelicious Krofft videos on the DPV:
The altered states of Drugachussets
The Bugaloos – Senses of Our World

Turkish Coffee – Arik Einstein clip by Dudu Geva
28 MayDudu Geva was one of Israel’s foremost comics artists. His style was chaotic, radical and very psychedelic. Geva created this video to Arik Einstein’s song “Turkish Coffee” in 1974. It is the first Israeli music video, and has a strong 1970’s psychedelic style. The actor in the clip is Geva himself, incidentally.
Willy Wonka original psychedelic boat trip
7 AprBack in 1971 Gene Wilder played the hallucinatory bizzare figure of Willy Wonka (later to be played by Johnny Deppp, in Burton’s 2005 version “Charlie and the Chocolate factory”. The boat ride scene really tips the edge in terms of taking the passengers (and the viewers) into a kind of horrific trip.

Kraftwerk’s Autobahn animated by Roger Mainwood
4 MarI don’t know if you ever thought about Kraftwerk as a psychedelic group, but this animation by Roger Mainwood certainly brings out all those trippy qualities in the music.
Actually, Kraftwerk started as a group of long-haired experimental krautrock jam hippies. You don’t believe it? Convince yourself:
The truth about the universe – (Philip K. Dick’s 1977 matrix speech)
1 Jul” We are living in a computer programmed reality and the only clue we have to it, is when some variable is changed and some alteration in our reality occurs”. These words sound like straight of the “The Matrix” movie, but they were actually articulated by Philip K. Dick in 1977. Only that Dick was profoundly serious – he based his words on his a series of intense experiences and revelations he had gone through over the years.
A typical scene from a sci-fi movies shows a crazy scientist explaining to an incredulous crowd some incredibly preposterous new theory which has amazing implications for the plot. Philip K. Dick, perhaps the most psychedelic of all authors, seems like the protagonist of such a scene in this short clip. But you should take him seriously, because we are all part of the fantastic megaplot which appears in Dick’s books. In fact, I won’t be surprised if we find out that we are all only part of Dick’s hallucinations to begin with.
So be suspicious, because the divine conspiracy is here. The empire never ended.
