Santa takin' acid, how's that for a themed post? Because, you guessed it, there's more.
From 2017, this psychedelic track by Cathode Ray Eyes, a must-listen if yer into bands like The Cramps:
Fron an EP released in 2021, but first out on this compilation in 2013. Love the fx! Really really good this.
The Sheeps want to wait for Acid Santa, that might make their slacker rock a bit more...acidic?
Psychedelica and Santa, that leads to this stomper from 1967:
And why not throw in this Canadian song about celebrating Xmas on acid. Santa's not making in alive, alas:
If you think psychedelica and Santa is a bit far fetched, watch this animated clip. Backed by Harvard professors and and esteemed mycologists (mushroom experts, that is), filmmaker Matthew Salton unfolds the Sami legend, in which the Lapland people got help from shamans in winter. These shamans would perform healing rituals using the hallucinogenic mushroom Amanita muscaria, a red-and-white toadstool fungus that they considered holy.
So holy, in fact, that the shamans dressed up like the mushrooms for their visit. Wearing large red-and-white suits, the shamans would arrive at the front doors of houses and attempt to enter; however, many families were snowed in, and the healers were forced to drop down the chimney. They would act as conduits between the spirit and human world, bringing gifts of introspection that could solve the family’s problems. Upon arrival, the healers were regaled with food. They would leave as they came: on reindeer-drawn sleds.
