LSD was unwittingly given to American citizens by the CIA as part of the MK ULTRA program over half a century ago. The tables are turned when FBI agent, Van Miller, is dosed by a member of Ray Donovan’s crew in the tv series of the same name. This sequence features Van Miller’s hallucination of a monkey and shifting depth perception. The elongation of a corridor using a dolly zoom is, in fact, a more interesting psychedelic aesthetic than the presence of the monkey. The rest of the episode features other hallucinatory phenomena not present in this clip.

The Death Set – “They Come to Get Us”
10 Apr
Experimental electronic band The Death Set, bring us a music video featuring an army of pop culture surrealism through the streets of New York City for there single “They Come to Get Us”.
If you like this song, i’d suggest listening to the official remix by Designer Drugs. Its basically just an extended version of this song, but i prefer it over the original by 10 fold.
Arcade Fire – “Black Mirror”
27 Feb
Music video for “Black Mirror” by Canadian alternative band Arcade Fire off the album “Neon Bible” I guess you could say that Father has brought you all down his bible to read for this Monday.
Arcade fire is an amazing alternative band, i would highly recommend giving them the old listen. Either there first album “Funeral” or there second “Neon Bible” is a good album to start on for them, “Funeral” if you like more folky psychedelic music, or “Neon Bible” if you like more dark alternative type psychedelic music.
On a side note, whenever i listen to this song or see it in my music i always remember the British anthology series “Black Mirror”, which is now on Netflix as an original series. I wont spoil much but its a psychological anthology series very reminiscent of “The Twilight zone” only instead of being in a warped reality of the 7th dimension, its in the very near future of ours. If you want to watch a really well crafted and good thinking show, then this is for you.
Tobacco – Hawker Boat
20 JunSometimes psychedelia lies in a total lack of context. When I envision an alien race observing life on Earth for the first time, I imagine an experience like watching this video. Hopefully they have a sense of humor.
