The Big & Dandy Psychedelic Media Thread

Glad to hear it but it doesn't look like they are in the clear yet.

...I know I still won't touch the store with a 10 foot pole.

Not sure what your reasoning is...?

Everything available for purchase from them is legal to buy and own. Sure, the guberments might be watching their records, but what are they going to do? Change the laws without your knowledge and bust down your door while you plant a san pedro?
 
So what's in this K2 stuff?

I never really approved of unlabled RC laced herb mixes... Not really in the spirit of things.

If I knew the answer to that question I would have said it in my last post. Better be safe than sorry. Why put your name on a list if it doesn't have to be?
 
If you'll forgive the second Mandelbrot-related post in a row... Since Benoit Mandelbrot died very recently, here's a link to another (different, naturally) zoom into the wonderful, complex, simple, chaotic, ordered thing of infinite beauty that is the Mandelbrot set, set to music I think suits it rather better than that which was chosen in the video linked to in my previous post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lzcZrIEVTc

This one's pretty gorgeous too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_GBwuYuOOs

Well, the whole thing's lovely. :)
 
I am slightly confused to discover that the exact nature of the closed ear audials I get from, among others, DiPT is almost exactly replicated in all of the less organic sounds within Easy Star All-Stars' dub version of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Is the whole dub genre like this? Are my CEAs essentially neurally improvised dub?? Is dub always this auditorily psychedelic, or only when it's also Floyd, or only when I'm tripping anyway? So many questions.

ETA: Bloody hell, their version of Radiohead's OK Computer is both beautiful and hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USuhLK_bn_Y Kind of gently mindblowing.
 
"Howl" out on DVD

A Hollywood film about a poet? "Howl" explores the 1957 obscenity trial of Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, with James Franco as Ginsberg and "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm as Jake Ehrlich, his defense attorney (and supposedly the real-life inspiration for "Perry Mason"). Roger Ebert gave it three stars, and notes that it correctly captures its era, a time when Ginsberg himself was young and bold and not yet the counter-culture legend he could become. "It’s possible to forget that 'Howl,' now a standard, was illegal to sell for a time, and that Ginsberg’s own sexuality was against the law in many states," Ebert writes. "It took some courage to be Allen Ginsberg." (Out on DVD Jan. 4.)

(Alright, OCD thread-nannies, this qualifies here as being of particular interest to users of Psychedelics, Ginsberg having used and written about them, M-KAY?)
 
Not so fast... new releases go on sale TUES not MON (though I guess some places might get them early, and it could be 1/4 in your location already. Anyway, glad to have helped, let us know how you liked it!

I love Ebert's line "It took some courage to be Alan Ginsberg." To say the least!!! Major hero.
 
^ I bet you also wash your hands several times in a row, need to turn lights on and off exactly 12 times, and MUST have all silverware perfectly parallel before eating or else you get nauseous ;)
 
If you read the sticky at the top for forum suggestions you'll get a glimpse of why I posted that.

It helps keep the clutter down, helps keep relevant information in the same spot, and prevents it from being moved to DC which I assume wouldn't be the exact crowd you were aiming this to go to.

Also, I do none of those things. My house is a giant clutter box.
