Rikki Ililonga & Musi-O-Tunya – Sunshine Love

12 Aug

The name “Sunshine Love” refers perhaps to “Orange Sunshine” acid which was distributed around the world at the time by the Hippie LSD dealers organization Brotherhood of Eternal Love.

This is Kappa, a cucumber-loving legednary creature from Japanese folklore. He is also very polite. And now he has a very cool psychedelic video. Let the world be devored!
