Blockhead - The Music Scene

[ThirstyDad65]

what the fuck

[Madix81]

mushrooms...ooooh dear!

[mafiamitzy]

This is trippy when sober, blows my mind high

[jambalulu]

After a few big chunks of hash this is fucking AMAZING...

[jdoggbuddy]

this needs to fix the major plot holes

[stephansms]

not as exciting when your sober......

[jareds270]

to anyone who is high/tripping: go outside. its more beautiful than you think.

[yPandaHD]

Guys, follow this 3 steps, if you want the best feeling EVER! 1. Smoke a joint. 2. Start the video. 3. Put the music off and put very lound this one "Kavinsky-Nightcall (Drive original moviesoundtrack)". I swear... you never gonna trip so much! Have a nice day...

[tonbonthemon]

This music video has a meaning to me. The body in the chair at the beginning is music, created by the TV (media industry). While the body is being made, that's the music growing. Then the TV starts giving him a remote, an invite. The Deer that comes in tries to stop it, but fails. At the end of the music video, The music is dying. Somehow the TV's cords fall off, and then the music is dead. The deer from the start is there, watching because it failed to save music. The deer is mainstream society

[MirandaStreeter]

@tonbonthemon Uhhh, way off. =p

I mean, it can mean that to you, sure, but it's kinda evident that this is about transhumanism and the dichotomy of nature and machine.

[tonbonthemon]

@MirandaStreeter Yeah sorry haha that's what it means to me. Also I was high at the time of writing that comment, so I just felt like typing the whole thing out

[tonbonthemon]

@MirandaStreeter Actually I just read an interview with blockhead about it and he said it was about how "there was a time ugly singers could be famous, when people would just get by on their talent but now it's like you have to have a market plan and it's depressing." which is pretty much what I was saying

[redmage2000]

@MirandaStreeter You can't really argue the meaning of a surreal animated music video, especially when the music doesn't even have lyrics. It's very abstract so the only thing that's evident is that there's no clear message. Leave people to their own interpretations.

[FinnishFuturist]

As a sober person let me say that this is still trippy as fuck.

[Lancer6x]

lord, i have heard you. and i will do as you command.

[chrispak1988]

RUN! IT'S FUCKIN AKIRA!

[LMMEjsmith]

watching this not stoned, and i'm still having a good time. :D

[FattMatt69lol]

Side note, we're really fuckin stoned. When the eye leaves its like death to us in real life.

[SuperFurryPeaches]

Saw this for the first time trippin on acid, definatlly blew my mind

[superaltman]

@SuperFurryPeaches Hah, same! I was about to post this. It was on the front page of Vimeo at the time and we just all sat there, transfixed, watching it for what felt like forever.

[FattMatt69lol]

Listen, thisq video portrays how aliens created the world and the human race. The eye represents the omnipresent eye watching over us, as it regulates our race. The tvs represent the rotting of the human mind due to technology and when the alien don't watch us anymore, the human race is destroyed, mich li. What's left is the one elk that represents the last human hope for the race to be reborn.

[fluffyfluff87]

@FattMatt69lol haha lovin ur view on this!

[xxrubes12xx]

Artistic viewpoint, absolutely beautiful!

Psychological viewpoint... what the hell did I just see.

[BidGickJohnson]

3:38-3:39 fucking blow my mind the first time i saw that...still makes me smile :)

[mikolagorbacok]

[zappo345]

Anthony F. Schepperd has CLEARLY taken acid at some point in his life.

[cupnoodls]

I feel enlightened

[pinkcowboyhat]

isn't this from the video for Burning Vapour by The Four Owls?

[lepfeiff]

after three nights of watching this, i finally understand it

[ClansmaClan]

this is wayyyyyyyy to good for youtube

[draculaspatulaa]

From an artist's point of view, EVERYTHING about this is outstanding.

[tkarl04]

[terror573]

[Rolpa357]

[motionsickness58]

[spencercurrent]

Weed... Noobs. Try Salvia.

[notsosuperhero]

@spencercurrent oh just shut up.

[ItchyWetCrabz]

The animals were chasing the city people. The animals teamed up and killed . When they gk them they shut his brain down. The animals all finished in one dear. I high as fuck. ^^^

[MohitTF]

How can one understand this video? I mean everytime you think you see the real meaning but never get near it !

[mrfphats]

1:03 << thats racist yo

[Ragewinftw]

This is whack, yo.

[Sarticus35]

without weed: makes no sense

with weed: I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING

[comeeight]

@Sarticus35 Tallah

[CleverRuseYesIndeed]

@Sarticus35 I understood it perfectly without any help. Maybe you should try seeing more while sober, my friend.

[ashpaw2]

@CleverRuseYesIndeed He was just making a comical, over exaggerated reference to weed to show his passion for it, don't overanalyze everything

[Sarticus35]

@CleverRuseYesIndeed it was actually a sarcastic remark to those of who make comments about being high and watching this. I understand it while being high or sober

[bcvasco]

@CLUTSYNINJA anthony shepperd

[roket205]

great song and video, can't wait to watch it stoned!!! Is there a generic name for this type of animation/video? this reminds me of LSD from The beetles

[SirKrow]

wut

[CLUTSYNINJA]

If someone could tell me whom this was drawn by it would be greatly appreciated

[jasonaroland]

mute video , play psychic chasms by neon indian. :)



[fsfsfsfsfsfsg]

The Music scene has got me down!

[TheRenaissanceMann]

Foolios, stop trying to analyze this and just enjoy the show.

[IPIRIEY]

lol watch this while baked OMFG woooow.

[boneyville]

@IPIRIEY watch it when youre on mush and come talk to me about how trippy it is :)

[IPIRIEY]

@boneyville I only blaze, srry bruh.

[TheSYSXS]

@IPIRIEY i almost had a seizure

[TheMsouleret]

@IPIRIEY baked is ok. if you really wanna understand the video, eat a quarter of a 10stip and let the lucy open your mind. its the best video ever composed.

[EnlargeYourDzen]

i wanna like it twice

[asdfgh111222]

tripping on acid makes this video all the better

[shootznskore]

@asdfgh111222 or, you know, not tripping on acid...

[fabrianooo]

amazing... great animation and concept

[MortimerDickenson]

Blockhead needs like...say...100 more albums...because The Music Scene and Downtown Science are really tight...

[Cyberg101]

These are amazing, and by these I mean the song and the music video. How did they even THINK of something like this?

[Muzuh1]

I showed my friends after getting high and we were devestated by the real and non realistic nature of this video. It showed me memories i never had.....

[rodrigorost]

Amazing! Congratulations to the artist.

[snowriderak12]

@MegaTreeBark

I can totally see how this could open your eyes to the significance of other artistic works. It's so beautiful, I watch it every time I'm just THAT high, because I can suddenly see the big picture. I know you all have your theories, but I have my own as well. And sharing would take too long. Sorry... Im lazy.

[nexoudin]

we call that a joint.

[FocusFletcher]

I was doing fine until the deer peeled. That's when I just lost it.

[snowriderak12]

Oh ma gawd so high

[MegaTreeBark]

@snowriderak12 Same,

I was thinking hella hard about something which brought the thought to something similar to this video and suddenly I understood both things more because the connection that I'm fairly certain occurred in my braindilum.

[xnfwlr]

From an artists viewpoint, this is visually outstanding.

[SalientK]

@xnfwlr It's visually outstanding from ANY viewpoint.

[MsPhoenix42]

@xnfwlr As an artist myself, I totally agree.

[PottyMouthDubstep]

@xnfwlr from anyones point of view

[IPIRIEY]

@xnfwlr From a baked standpoint, this is trippy as fuck lol.

[superqwertyKILL]

@xnfwlr from a normal person standpoint it is "what the fuck"

[Fantasticpants2]

@xnfwlr

From anyone's viewpoint, this is visually outstanding.

[iTzBruzuaL]

I tell you guys, if you watch this video while you're high, you will feel like you're in a roller coaster.

[iTzBruzuaL]

1:08 I was high and I open all my mouth. Was incredible.

[AmaryllisBeautiness]

no offense to all but... WTF DID I JUST WATCH?!?!

[McCull96]

(represented by the colorful winding strands) while meanwhile it is revealed the tv is really a cyborg. After recreating man, the tv and man rises to a new plane of existence. Upon reaching this new existence, man's animal instincts emerge and begins it focusing on things other than the tv. The tv as a last stand to stop the animal instincts from emerging, converges with man. The tv now dependent on man, now has no purpose so it wastes away while nature watches its struggle.

[McCull96]

I believe this video takes place after the extinction of man. The tv alone in the world with no other purpose than being watched, tries to keep occupied by watching itself, a deer wanders in front of the tv in which shocks the tv into realizing life is everywhere around. The tv now no longer alone tries getting the animals to watch it. After realizing the animals have no desire to watch it, the tv begins trying to recreate man by collecting the DNA of the animals

[Schematx]

This is about technologic singularity, when technology becomes self aware...

[redmenacetv]

The TVis shaped like a virus

[HungryKoalaFilms]

we call that a joint.

[Funwithtrolls]

It would be funny if this was found 2000 years in the future where there is no history of the present and the people would think this is how the human race was formed. By one giant pink brain tentacle monsters covered in tv screens.

[thedarkfiggis]

i like-a da pretty colors

[jackassofpoland]

i dont like "we call that a joint"

[DmonkeyD1994]

Not to be pessimistic, but we're advancing too fast

look how far we've come in the last 50 years. extremely exponential, eventually we will burn ourselves out

[serbwithblade]

@DmonkeyD1994 Every generation has said this since the beginning of humanity.

[DmonkeyD1994]

@serbwithblade Yeah, that isn't true

plus you have no evidence of anyone saying that. Because back then we really weren't progressing so fast

[serbwithblade]

@DmonkeyD1994 It's actually completely true. Literally, one of the truest statements. Human society has progressed incredibly quickly in essentially 1.5 thousand years. A lot of the technological increases have only led to subtle changes.

[crypticnivek]

@DmonkeyD1994 I'm afraid you may be right.

"Our technology has exceeded our humanity" - Albert Einstein.

It is important that our values come in line. Instead we create weapons of mass destruction instead of oh I don't know, creating abundance with the technology we have?

That serbwithblade obviously has never heard of Moore's Law.

[andykins118118]

@DmonkeyD1994 Actually, evidence shows that people have stopped evolving because of how easy we've made life for ourselves. Eventually the idiots will breed more than the intelligent and the human race will stupid itself to death.

[DmonkeyD1994]

@andykins118118 that's also a god theory lol. I'm not sure how anyone could prove we aren't evolving as it's such a slow process. but I see what you're saying

[thelumptube]

Lol the gorilla doesn't care about the porn

[simpleman6942]

ACID CHANGED MY LIFE

[wildhoneypii]

please make one...

[wildhoneypii]

Lion King on ACID.

[bitrol]

Oboy

[NJAW]

....Am I seriously the only one who is against pot that enjoys these things?

[cujo503]

@NJAW y u against pot bro?



[NJAW]

@cujo503 y u try bro?

[cujo503]

@NJAW because i have free will and what one does with his time and energy is his own concern if u dnt wanna do it thats fine but to be against it is something else evreyone has a choice to do it or not but to go against it makes me a sad panda :(

[cujo503]

@NJAW and this aint pot its lsd..

[fsmorel123]

@NJAW lol i'm not against pot but i love trippy music..in fact i'm in recovering drug addict

[robbobert01]

As much as I would like to take an environmental theme from this video, I think the animals are probably only symbolic. Based on the title, I'd say the video is about people in the music business seeing something honestly good in music and trying to replicate it (i.e taking all the animals and making the technicolor animals from them) and ruining it. For a while it works (dancing animals/happy people), but through overuse/oversaturation, it's eventually ruined and the music scene falls apart.

[GermanMification]

Amazing...



[Jere24x7]

im...soo high of da ganja...n this to me ours to write shwell....i can hear the ending at the beginning and n ow im ty;eing to musrlf

[lookhowlongnameis]

most drug fucked cunts comment funniest shit

[weedijuanasmoking]

what the fuck literally worst music choice what the fuck is wrong with you nigga

[lookhowlongnameis]

im on acid rite now and this is how i feel

[licoriceloverRCSK]

The guy that wrote and directed this is totally a stoner....

and yes i do because i myself, being a stoner, just took like 30 mins to type this comment.

[tayloruppchuck]

i can't handle the beauty of this.

[chasinthacool]

If you think this video is crazy now... wait till you see it on mushrooms 0.0

[reaperdeadlikeme]

We are amusing ourselves to death.

[lezeruify]

enjoy it for its artistic value, think what you may of it, take or don't take drugs to it... do whatever you will....it won't change the inherent artistic awesomeness of this video

[staitheski]

Tis an analogue of a trip for sure! Person played by stag and trip played by person. Stag explodes while you come up, you plateau for a bit then it leaves you deflated at the end, still played by the stag looking at your fading trip from out of your body. perfect

[Sarticus35]

It explains how through our advancement in technology and media, we will begin to grow further from our original nature and rely on our technology more and more. Eventually, we will reach a point where man and technology become linked as one. This could lead to the end of the human race as we know it, but all other living beings and nature will continue to run its course. Time stops for nothing.

[solheights]

@Sarticus35 "Time stops for nothing."

It stops at the speed of light :)

[Miranoria]

@solheights You sure? Really? Years ago people thought that you couldn't travel more than 60 km pr hour. Look at us now. Then think about the future.

[solheights]

@Miranoria

It's called 'Einstein's Theory of Relativity'...I'm fairly sure no one has corrected it yet. I think it goes something like...when approaching the speed of light, you move toward something called 'critical mass', whereupon particles stop vibrating and (for the item travelling at that velocity), time stops.

I believe some scientists also state that time also may cease to exist at the mouth of a black hole.

Time also 'warps' due to gravitational pull :)

[Miranoria]

@solheights Hey man :) I just meen that i've heard that there is some partikles that travel faster than light :) And some scientits have made things go faster :) Sorry for my english :)

[solheights]

@Sarticus35 Relatively speaking of course.

[TheZabaka]

@Sarticus35 that's not what it means.

[Sarticus35]

@TheZabaka relatively speaking, thats what I think it means. If you think you can come up with a better explanation, be my guest.

[lokidokidog666]

@Sarticus35 Perfect symbiosis of technology and nature is what is needed.

Nice input though :3

[Qweeftastic]

@Sarticus35 ...but gravity slows it down, get to work boys!

[PanTheManBangerang]

What the world is, is not just one person idea but everyone's. Ba-da-bing-ba-da-boom

[stunnashades605]

Just emailed Rockstar Games with a request to put this in the new Grand Theft Auto

[Inimoulleb]

And then, there was the internet.

[furvert101]

reminds me of my fairy dust adventures. mmmmm...

[JTwillkill]

brb, seizing

[TrevsMoody]

Every time I see a "Hurr hurr I was high when I watched this" comment, I lose a little faith in humanity.

Seriously, no one gives a fuck. Why don't you spend some time analyzing and understanding the depth and meaning of this amazing video instead of telling people that you do drugs so they'll think you're cool.

[jjhill182]

@TrevsMoody why dont you stop being an asshole. i guarantee every single one of those people understands this more your pretentious ass.

[IDFPleonexia]

@jjhill182 How is he being an asshole? He has a valid point. Nobody gives a shit if you're high. Nobody cares how much pot you smoked. If you toke, good for you, but why post a comment about it?

I don't smoke, but I listen to a lot of "druggy/pothead" artists. I enjoy the music for what it is, I love the creativity and quirky sounds. There's nothing pretentious about my attitude. I don't think I'm better than stoners, I just don't give a fuck about how many bowls they blazed through.

[TurboBabyPuncher]

@IDFPleonexia

Good man.

[Mecial705]

Wow!

[AleX0002]

Is anyone actually sober enough to analyze this shit?

[SisypheanExistence]

I think the animation is about transhumanism. It's showing how we adapt to technology and how it adapts to us. Everything keep growing and getting bigger until a hybrid human/machine is born for a few moments. Even after it's gone, nature lives on.

Also the video is amazing and I can't stop watching it.

[AtWarWithGod]

It's showing that the Televisions and Technology have caused Man kind to become brain dead and brain washed by media and show's. Hence the "They call that a joint" repeating sample as the man is laying there almost lifeless with a television for a head and connectors which are feeding him this information I.E the Government and their oppression. Also relates to the music scene, being that people like what ever the fuck is new on MTV.

[Gl2indel2]

This makes my heart flutter.

[bluefirerajal]

mf doom

[woahmolly]

I Watched this high as hell.

[LooLooLooeny]

Can someone send me a link to their fb page?

[PersianPrincesses]

Haha the moose at the end was even mind fucked.

[Deathsquad49]

The song they sample at the beginning is called "The Music Scene" By Fapardokly, 1966

[inher1tance]

It's all a joke:)

[MrCaptain221]

*Insert generic pseudo-intellectual observation about video in an effort to impress the monkeys who droll on the comment section of this site*

[MrSquishyTurtle]

saw it on adult swim :D

[FYEProductions]

meand peter just analyzed thissss!!

[Ecellut]

The video depicts how humans are a product of television and the media, how they are the only species interested in media as shown by the other animals turning their back when the "TV entity" broadcasted alluring visions to them. Humans are never depicted in their natural habitat only near the end when they are being created artificially and to further emphasise the point becoming one with the television unit.

[Rushly123456]

@Ecellut ahh man

[RememberMeLiar]

lsd
