3rd Eye Vision ( A music video set to Fischerspooner's The 15th )
My music video to Fischerspooner's cover of German post punk band Wire's song The 15th. This was my first attempt at editing. I did it all on imovie HD, and shot it with my macbook's isight from my brothers car on the drive home. All the psychedelic light show images are just certain segments of the drive home with some effects laced on 'em. My concept/story is that you're falling asleep and when you close your eyes you get that neon light show on your eyelids. I hope this inspires people to make their own videos to music with creativity rather than an overload of product placement ( not talking about the original video ). So go out there people and be creative before it becomes a privilege and not a right!

"LSD inventor Albert Hofmann dead at age 102"
"Albert Hofmann, the pioneering Swiss chemist and advocate of psychedelics who discovered the hallucinogenic properties of LSD, died Tuesday. He was 102.
Hofmann reportedly died of a heart attack at his home in Basel, Switzerland.
Hofmann's most famous discovery happened on April 16, 1943. He was researching the synthesis of a lysergic acid compound, LSD-25, when he inadvertently absorbed a bit through his fingertips. Intrigued by the effect it had on his perception, Hofmann decided further exploration was warranted. Three days later, on April 19, he ingested 250 milligrams of LSD, embarking on the first full-fledged acid trip. That day became known among LSD fans as 'bicycle day' because Hofmann began experiencing the drug's intense effects on his bicycle trip home from the lab."

Moses was high on drugs
According to an Israeli researcher, Moses was on psychedelic drugs when he heard God deliver the Ten Commandments.
The researcher also says that Moses was high on drugs when he saw the burning bush.
"As far Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a supernatural cosmic event, which I don't believe, or a legend, which I don't believe either, or finally, and this is very probable, an event that joined Moses and the people of Israel under the effect of narcotics," Shanon (the researcher) told Israeli public radio on Tuesday.
Well Moses also parted the sea, did some plagues and much more. Apparently Moses was an addict - and so was everyone else. According to an Israeli researcher, Moses was on psychedelic drugs when he heard God deliver the Ten Commandments. ... more -
Moses was a tripper
Acacia, which contains both DMT and Tryptamine, was a common drug of the Israelites. Burning bushes, and chats with God on Mount Sinai, might have been trips.
"Such mind-altering substances formed an integral part of the religious rites of Israelites in biblical times, Benny Shanon, a professor of cognitive psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem wrote in the Time and Mind journal of philosophy.

Southern Backtones at Sugarhill Studios Tape Vault
This is not your typical indie rock. The Southern Backtones are an exciting blend of raw brit-influenced rock with roots planted firmly in Texas. A southwestern feel reminiscent of Morrison and The Doors with an edge akin to early eighties brit-rock powerhouses a la The Cult and David Bowie.
After spending their musical childhood on the surf-punk playground, the Southern Backtones grew up quickly only to rebel against their roots rock heritage.
A mellowing of their roots-angst, and embracing Brit-pop and psychedelia influences, transitioned their music to a darker, more bohemian sound. Thus allowing them to become who they were from the beginning--psychedelic savants who are constantly at risk of diluting their genius by over thinking their music.

John Griffin- Backing Vocals/Bass
Todd Sommer- Drums
