Some songs from The Mighty Boosh

6 Apr

The 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:

When Do We Eat (2005)

14 Jan

When do we eat is a  film about a Seder meal that goes wrong, but then actually right, after the father of the family has been surreptitiously dosed with MDMA and LSD.  Except for the ending it is a pretty awesome psychedelic comedy which actually deals in a funny intelligent way with the psychedelic experience. Stick around for the last 40 seconds of the video to catch the trippy bits.

Acid Mothers Temple

11 Nov

Tonight I will have to choose between seeing legendary ecstatic noise hippies Acid Mothers Temple live here in cologne or visiting the philharmonic hall for a concert in memoriam H. W. Henze, the radical composer who died just a few weeks ago.

Somebody got a working time machine, maybe?

Update: Hey time machine people, I don’t know how you did it, but you are awesome! I saw both (while everywhere else in cologne the beginning of the carnival season was raging)!

Porcupine Tree – Time Flies

Losoul – A Blood Sample (2004)

17 Sep

Eerie psychedelic song. In my eyes it has a very Philip K. Dickian feeling in the very sinister use of commercials imagery which seems to hold some terrible spiritual truth you might not want to know. Very sinister, very exquisite.

The Chemical Brothers – The Test

20 Aug

Can you pass the acid test?
