A
Renegade (2004) easily has the most incredible and accurate psychedelic experience ever captured on film. Originally released in France under the less macho name Blueberry, Renegade has been making the rounds around the world with the psychedelic intelligentsia and others interested in shamanism. With Brokeback Mountain, now we have two true alternate Western films that take their rightful place along epics such as Rio Bravo and the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Though peyote is the plant used here, the imagery translates well to the rest of the shamanic pharmacopia. The film is respectful of the psychedelic experience, which is a catalyst for Sgt. Blueberry's spiritual evolution and not the central eye candy gimmick of a drugsploitation movie. This is only a clip without any sound with a whiff of a spoiler. The sequence thematically fits into the rest of the story. Order the DVD, it's way higher resolution and not expensive. You'll watch it for years to come.

EXCLUSIVE - Tripzine's Tales from the Tripside

This is the most hilarious psychedelic drug video ever made, produced in 2003 by those wacky folks at Seattle's Trip Magazine after they stopped killing trees and folded their print operations and became simply Tripzine.com These guys are not afraid to sometimes belly flop but who cares as where else can you find spoofs of just about everything, from MAPS to Dancesafe to the Real World to late night 900 sex lines?  A funny drinking game would be to have some buds over, put it on full screen and have a drink (or smoke a bowl) every time someone falls down. I've been trying to get it up for years (the video, not me) as people kept stealing my disc and conveniently forgetting it.

It's best to watch them sequentially as some scenes bridge the parts. The ultimate cliffhanger occurs between part 3 and 4!


Part One
Part Two

Part Three
Part Four


CAUTION: SPOILER My favorite scenes are the Drug Thoughts, Drug Scouts (now we got you Seattle people back for dissing psytrance!), Scotto's commercials, The Unreal World, Drug Side Story, Bobby Tortellini (someone get this guy a standup comedian job!), 1900LSDMDMA, the Meth Head, the Partnership for a Free Drug America, and the whole 2TC Special G saga that almost became an urban legend. I also have a soft place in my heart for Thorazine the Clown.

James Kent, the first person you see in Part 1 and the founder of Trip, visited me in Times Square in 1999 and wrote the following poem in a 3 way email with Wilson Leary, (Timothy's late cousin who had alerted my family about my ketamine addiction):

Should I assume from your post that you are under the spell, that you are not well?
That others would gladly see you awaken, get back on your feet and give back what you've taken?
Hopefully I am mistaken.
But if I  am not and your life is a dream, remember that things may not be what they seem.
This gift you've been given, this power to see, it will rob you of time by the power of three.
Idle time is eaten by the power of fours, and indulgent time eaten in sixes, sevens, or more.
This may sound like gibberish, but It's not 'cause I know.
The bottom of the bottle is a sweet place to go.
But life doesn't stop as you dream time away, it goes on as you miss precious hours, precious days... 
If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing that I'd want to do,
is steal tiny moments from my waking life just to sit down and spend them with you...
O -K? Once a day? All the time? Anytime?   Where'd you go?  

Reach out and touch someone...

I've been off it completely for a very long time.

TV Programmes

If there was ever a Trance Workout Video, this is it. Makes me want to go snip snip and get a sex change. Aerobicize - from when Showtime Cable came to Conroe Texas for free around 1980. The music was wayyyy ahead of its time, all sitar and guitar, trance rock disco with a dose of Vampyros Lesbos. I wonder if Goa Gil mixed stuff like this back in Goa in the early 80s before he and Raja Ram mixed it up with Front 242 & Cabaret Voltaire and others by 1990.

Alien Dreamtime is the late Terence McKenna's famous video, shot in all its early 90s glory at the dawn of the latest New Age. Highly recommended. .
   

Another great psychedelic film is Liquid Crystal Vision, a wonderful documentary created by Torsten (Omananda) & Tantric Demon..
   
This is a fantastic collection of icaros (c.f. to Icarus) which are songs sung by a shaman to guide his group through an ayahuasca experience. This CD's icaros are sung in a mix of Spanish and Quechua.
   
The ILLUMINATED CHAKRAS takes you on a multi sensory journey into the mystical beauty of the inner world. Follow the serpentine path Kundalini-Shakti, who represents the vital force that awakens each chakra. Journey from base to crown in this fantastic sound and light extravaganza, and experience the elemental realities of each chakra, as earth, water, fire, air, sound, light and transcendent consciousness. This visionary voyage makes it possible to see and experience the subtle energy of the chakra system that has, until now, only been described.
