Vegas doesn't need another song and dance performance in town. It's a outdated model. The folks in the charge of the evening affairs there have their fingers on a pulse that's slowly losing steam, even if that generation has been their highest rollers. Instead of another Help! or magic act, Vegas oughta get Cirque de Soleil to do an Avatar production, which would blow some minds clear off everyone in attendance.

Psychedelia isn't about melody, notes, chords, or lyrics. It's about sensation, something holistic or for the whole of the body rather than ears or mind. Think of it as mad noise that paints a landscape or provokes the imagination deeper than the surface feel of a party. It's heady by nature but only in the sense that it takes an conscious effort to move past the initial confusion and closer towards the heart of it all. And not all of it is good, absolutely true. I can't stand early Animal Collective. But folks like Boris and Tame Impala? Blistering.

Kyle Singer is probably the least hated Duke star of all time.

Happy Thanksgiving, yall
