MUSIC CHATTER AND MATTER

L.S.D. Apreciation Week

Posted about 1 year ago
If you think about it, has society ever been altered more drastically than it was by a mere accident in a laboratory? I'm not talking like some sort of "Outbreak" scenario (or maybe I am, man, if you really twist it around in yer noggin'). I'm talking about the wonderful and weird way the world was forever altered thanks to Dr. Albert Hofmann's attempts to synthesize ergot and a plant called medicinal plant called squill for use in pharmaceuticals in 1938. The result was LSD-25, and the documentation of this fluke discovery is amazing. The results are pretty much too much to list here. So I'll just post some of my favorite results of this phenomena.
I'll let Bill Hicks weigh in before the music begins:
The Flaming Lips - Turn It On
Mercury Rev - Opus 40
Ween - Transdermal Celebration
The Beta Band - Inner Meet Me

  13. fistula spume says Dude have you ever looked at your hands! They're like these things that can touch and grab things with skin and hanging bits and some kind of nails. They're so amazing and I have them but sadly they do not have hands of their own. But what if they did! My thumbs would have thumbs that would have thumbs... :) Me and all of the peeps in my head agree that this is a mighty fine post.
