Psychedelic Music for the Teenage Cloud

Malaprop intended.

Every week YouTube/Google editors find some dogshit to highlight, always by celebrity musicians or someone who really doesn’t need any more fame or publicity.

Today, it’s “Pyschedelic Music!”

From YouTube:

The ’60s might be long gone, but a new crop of musicians is embracing the era’s experimental, anything-goes aesthetic. Whether it’s through mind-expanding visuals or adventurous songs, psychedelic music is alive and well. Even Neil Young’s doing it!

Neil Young, a ‘new crop-type of musician,’ whose ‘new’ shtick is low-res videos cobbled together from other old pieces of film downloaded from YouTube. Only when you and I do it, no bonus points.

In this case, recycling “Like a Hurricane” with a slightly different arrangement, new lyrics, new title and whistling.

But it’s, like, Neil ‘effin’ Young. (Rolls eyes.)


Nothin’ psychedelic ’bout this at all, oh no.
