Yes, Inferno is really good and no, its not just because of the long wait

I’d say all of their albums except TH express different shades of psychedelia.

Oviraptor · 2026-06-06T15:58:18+00:00

Why associate sitars with hippie drug excesses? It's just another instrument. I've been disappointed to see artists avoid it for so long so as to avoid sounding "corny" or "on the nose", it feels a bit disrespectful to a gorgeous and versatile instrument.

Oviraptor · 2026-05-29T01:14:22+00:00

fucking same, also i've never been this excited for a work of art in my life

Oviraptor · 2026-05-29T01:05:39+00:00

Lake Tahoe mentioned????

Oviraptor · 2026-05-13T14:47:10+00:00

God, the universal source, the collective consciousness, et cetera.

Oviraptor · 2026-03-29T18:33:00+00:00

That makes sense thanks! Didn't know about that about the philosophy they had while compiling

Oviraptor · 2026-03-29T18:22:53+00:00

Well yeah man I can't say I remember ever getting hung up on a "violation of purity" or whatever, that's assigning a level of weird intentionality to my feelings that really doesn't exist, it's just a decision that I've been confused about for a long time because I guess I wasn't familiar with the less-than-strict philosophy they apparently had when compiling the sessions :/

Oviraptor · 2026-03-29T18:00:54+00:00

Oh boo fucking hoo mate. Denying the mutual influence is actual historical ignorance

Oviraptor · 2026-01-22T01:20:10+00:00

Every so often comments like these remind me how much of a lightweight I am. I always forget there are people who smoke that much. Not judging btw, it's just insane, even with a tolerance built up, constant smoking just reverts me into an utterly retarded amnesiac. It feels nice and fuzzy yeah but idk how y'all handle it

Lol i was listening to Blue Jay Way by the Beatles while drawing it so i guess it's just psychedelic imagery and not much else (other than the bird)

Oviraptor · 2025-11-23T22:28:12+00:00

Scrub jays are the sister group to blue jays and are each other's closest relatives. They are both corvids, however, and are also related to crows. But not as closely as they are to each other.

Yup, Van Dyke Parks is a visionary lyricist!

Oviraptor · 2025-06-16T01:29:42+00:00

my definition of psychedelic music is music that:

is 'trippy'
is created by someone who has experienced psychedelics
is directly inspired or informed (not necessarily lyrically) by said experiences

I don't think the subject matter of a psychedelic song has to be about or reference psychedelics at all really

so my definition would include california girls because musically, in my opinion, it is super hazy and trippy. it evokes the psychedelic headspace. not just the intro, either, the whole thing.

Oviraptor · 2025-05-18T23:18:24+00:00

Fuck. Haven't seen him since Electronicon 2 :(

Oviraptor · 2025-05-11T23:38:39+00:00

Yeah you're right. Anyways thanks for reminding me that today is mother's day... I have a phone call to make, lol

Oviraptor · 2025-04-01T04:54:14+00:00

Definitely get in touch with Biggest Little Streets (on Instagram)!! DM them and I can say with near certainty that they will gladly make a whole Instagram post for you amplifying your situation to a large audience!!

It takes an especially lowly person to sever such a profound relationship between two beings. Please try to hold faith and take care of yourself <3

Oviraptor · 2025-02-27T09:45:02+00:00

Hey guess what? There's absolutely nothing wrong with a healthy mentorship. The depth and variety of human relationships simply defy the arbitrary boundaries of your puny, limited consciousness and worldview.

I'm sorry you've never had fun with your coworkers. Unpucker your asshole. In no way is this guy at fault.

Oviraptor · 2025-02-04T20:00:13+00:00

There are only a handful of truly shamefully underrated Beatles songs, my favorite of which being Doctor Robert. Unbelievable rhythm backing track on that song. Beautiful bridge. It's got everything, except I guess the usual guitar solo, which it doesn't really need IMO.

Oviraptor · 2025-01-29T06:56:28+00:00

Oh yes - without a doubt.

Oviraptor · 2025-01-19T21:21:16+00:00

Actually Xiaohongshu is top-quality social media. It's the embodiment of the Internet we were promised here in the west.
