Trippy Creative Art

Speaking of art, a subject which I always loved and kept close to my heart, I always loved that really trippy, creative, artsy stuff, like stuff you'd see by Rob Zombie or Butthole Surfers, so here's some that I love.

Beavis and Butthead Do America. I saw on the credits that Rob Zombie did the animation for this, and a White Zombie song is playing. I love this one. Pretty trippy, but I guess it's supposed to be since Beavis is tripping out in the desert.

From the Peruvian Chili episode of the Simpsons where homer goes crazy from eating a chili. All the animation is trippy and cool in this one.

Apparently MTV used to play music, and was actually cool, playing weird crazy messed up creative cool artistic cartoons like this in between videos.

Butthole Surfers - Who Was in My Room Last Night. Apparently these guys did lots of acid. I love the artwork and creativeness of videos like this.

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod. The singer from Butthole Surfers is guest singing on this one, which explains why the art during the cartoon parts seems like they could fit in with a Butthole Surfers video.

Cover of Dookie by Green Day. Ok, I'll just add this one too. I love love love the cartoonish look of stuff like this. I grew up hearing the hits off of Dookie on the radio too.

Cover of Monsters by Meat Puppets

Grunge Forum and Creative, passionate, organic, artsy, original, independant alternative songs

Ok, so I'll start this off by saying I found a grunge forum that has a lot of useful info about bands and stuff. http://www.grungeforum.com/ I actually found it a long time ago, but I have a tendency to find a bunch of stuff and just bookmark it and come back to it later, but now I'm on the forum. Finally I found info on Lazy Susan and Kill Sybil.

So I keep finding stuff that makes me think, man how creative, it really was better back then. I found the video for Tahitian Moon by Porno for Pyros http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57kHFXElTVI and someone there who was around then told me how it really was artsy, original, and independent, so I'd like to share a few more songs that make me think of that.

Teenage Fanclub - Star Sign

The Flaming Lips - She Don't Use Jelly

Sky Cries Mary - Every Iceberg is Afire. Sky Cries Mary are a psychedelic influenced Seattle band. The first band of Scott Mercado, the drummer for Candlebox.

 Love Battery - Out of Focus. The original video is on BVMGrungeTV, but they won't let me embed it, so I found this one that just took it from there. This one is so passionate and real feeling. Psychedelic grunge band from Seattle. I love the part where they close up on the singer's face.

Pavement - Cut Your Hair

Sugar - Helpless

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give it Away

 Butthole Surfers - Pepper

 Meat Puppets - Backwater

Clearly things were more down to earth and cool and creative back then.
