The Great KID CREOLE lives down the block and around the corner from PeeWee Herman’s Playhouse and right next door to ENDICOTT – Say goodbye to ’23 and hello to ’24 with this fun, entertaining song/video. Then view it again. You’ll be glad you did – you can thank 00 later . . .

KID CREOLE AND THE COCONUTS
|Endicott”

KID CREOLE and the COCONUTSwere an American musical group created by August Darnell with Andy Hernandez and Adriana Kaegi.The music is a mix of Latin, disco, caribbean, and Cab Calloway styles of the Big Band era. The Coconuts are a trio of female backing vocalists/dancers, founded and originally choreographed and costumed by Kaegi.

in 1974 August formed a band with his brother under the name Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band. Their self-titled debut release was a Top 40-charting album which was certified gold and was nominated for a Grammy – and easily one of 00’s favorite albums with every track a pleasure to hear again and again.

 After Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band. August Darnell took on the zoot-suited Kid Creole persona and moved in down the block from PeeWee Herman’s Playhouse – as seen in the infectious hit “Endicott” video – a stone favorite of 00’s from the 1980’s album
“In Praise of Older Women… and Other Crimes“.

When 00 was 24 he fell in love with an older woman who was 27 , back then a three year difference as big, most guys got with girls their own age, or younger. So at 27, she wasn’t a typical girl, she was a woman, who 00 has been with for 48 years.- in praise of older women? Absolutely!

Sing along!

Ease up, ease up
Pass on it, baby
Don’t mean maybe
I’ll never be

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From over 60 years of 00’s movie-going mania: THE 00INDIVIDUAL TOP ALL-TIME FAVORITE FILMS (1942 – 2013)

The following are from over 60 years of 00’s movie-going mania.

To claim a film as a favorite for 00, it needs to entertain,Create interest, and in many cases, create joy in repeated viewings.
These films span over seventy years from 1942 to 2013 and qualify for the aforementioned three criteria of a favorite film.
The one unspoken crucial quality needed is to experience breath-taking moments of thrills, chills, drama, comedy, visuals, soundtrack music and inward discovery. is through the vicarious experience.

00 has hundreds/thousands of favorites, but really trimmed to essentials and categorized by genres.All are recommended.

During the classic film era of the mid-to-late ’60s up to the mid-ro-late ’70s, (OK, and up into the fun ’80s) 00 lived the life of a movie fiend – seeing everything, and making sure to see certain films opening day, and if highly entertained, came back the next day or week to see it once more before it would be gone, -with the only hope to see it ever again would be on TV – months, maybe years later, edited, and with commercials. Sigh.

PSYCHEDELIC PSANTA has 4 Turn-Ons for Good Cozmic Boyz and Girlz! plus 00individual’s Top 30 Posts of 2023!

“00individual as Psychedelic Psanta” copyright 2017 00individual  TLL

EXPERIENCE PSYCHEDELIC FUN!

Back in the mid-to-late ’60’s and early-to-mid ’70s, psychedelics were a prominent part of the Counter-Culture; Marijuana, Hashish, Mescaline, Peyote, Psilocybin, Barbiturates, Amphetamines, Angel Dust (PCP), Cocaine, Heroin and other mind/body altering substances were a way of life. Those were fun days, and with specific hallucinogens like LSD and Mescaline there was always visually-trippy fun to be had.

So as a Turn On for the Holiday Season, 00individual, in the guise of Psychedelic Psanta, has provided three trippy simulated visual and physical cheap thrills for Psychonauts and for those Individuals that have never experienced the visual effects of LSD – and one gift of a word to the wise – you know who you are.

TURN-ON #1
PSYCHEDELIC HALLUCINATION ACTIVATOR

1. Pre-select a place close by in the area of your viewing screen to focus your localized hallucination – such as a wall with bookshelves, a large painting or poster, a magazine page, or the image of Psychedelic Psanta, right above – have fun – experiment.
2. Position yourself no more than 12 inches from your screen; RIGHT CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO OPEN BIGGER IN A NEW TAB / SCREEN – then concentrate and stare at the very center of the spirals for a complete 30 seconds to get the full effect.
3. After 30 seconds, immediately move your eyes directly to your pre-selected place of focus and see what Psychonauts see – living, breathing, boiling imagery – TRIPPY!

Here’s a variation with a similar result: Hallucinate!

.
TURN-ON #2
PSYCHEDELIC RAINBOWS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

00individual has never been a ‘Foodie’ but he was a “Druggie”, and has never really prepared food other than a bowl of cereal as he always had someone who was much more adept at such things than he, such as a girlfriend, or restaurant.
Consequently, “doing” dishes was not his forte; a hot rinse was adequate by his standards – this could create discord among those more dedicated to the process.
HOWEVER, 00individual has found a psychedelic solution which now has elevated him to the exalted self-proclaimed position of The Psychedelic Dishwasher Supreme.
Since acquiring the LED Faucet Light 00individual can’t wait to do the dishes – complete with suds aplenty!
(Mini-Turn On Tip: this trippy item can be acquired online under $10.00 with free shipping!)

In the Real World of Psychedelics, opalescent and rainbow-tinged imagery abounds with added sparkles of glinty light that reflect even off of organic surfaces like wood, plant life, and most objects.

With this simple device 00individual can O.D. on that fond experience – with the kitchen lights off and with the gorgeous Light Show taking place right in front of him! He experienced prismatic bubbles, opalescent soapy water, brightly-colored metallic silvery pans, and rich gem-colored white plates, dishes and cups. This array of intensely pleasurable lights flow through and emanate from the water (which is a Trip in itself), and reflect fun psychedelic goodness.
Here’s a fairly good example, only not as vibrant, in slo-mo: opalescent soapy water.

These LSD visual simulations are not accompanied by the actual heightened states that psychedelics provide, but as Cheap Thrill Holiday Turn Ons they are a “Trip”. Enjoy!

Claimer: 00individual has experienced many Trips in his lifetime – mostly good to exceptional – anything considered “bad” is good for the learning process, so all good.
A personal cognizant fact about LSD; it does not cause brain or gene damage; 00individual’s kid is not a mutant (much to his disdain) and 00individual attributes his expanded awareness attained and obtained from psychedelics as the catalyst for the creative and inquisitive snowball-effect he experiences throughout the decades to the present.

Disclaimer: Please know that these are visual examples and that the real effects of LSD can be accompanied with a myriad of mild to intense stimulating emotional, mental, psychological, physical, mind-altering and hallucinogenic experiences.
Although “breathing walls and rainbow trails” are universally recognized traits, beyond that is what is known as mind-blowing. As your senses heighten, so does your mind, and with that comes the awareness to see things the way they really are, in your life, in the world, for good, or for bad:
The Acid Test.

TURN-ON #3
PSYCHEDELIC FLOATING ARMS

Here’s a trippy way to feel the effects of psychedelic anti-gravity
Stand in a doorway and press the back of hands as hard as possible against the doorway.
Keep pushing for a full minute to feel the maximum effects.
When the minute is up step away from the doorway – arms will defy gravity and float upwards!

.

TURN-ON #4
PSYCHEDELIC TRIBAL TRUTH

“No matter what the lows, life’s highs will abound,
Savor those moments, stake claim to that ground,
Those memories are proof that you lived and had some fun,
This is all we can take with us when we’re finally done.”
– 00individual

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

PSYCHEDELIC ELECTRONIC CHRISTMAS -TOMITA – Snowflakes Are Dancing – April 12, 1974 – and a righteous instrumental version of Silent Night with a nod to Hendrix, Morricone and Floyd by the Rotary Connection – 1968 – Merry Christmas!

ENJOY A PSYCHEDELIC ELECTRONIC CHRISTMAS!

ISAO TOMITA – SNOWFLAKES ARE DANCING

As we head into the twelve days of Christmas, here’s a turn-on of some righteous electronica to enjoy throughout the Holiday Season and the rest of the days of the year!

Besides being a very psychedelic album of Debussy’s classics and a Holiday / Winter ambient joy;
it is just a wonderful album of perfect music.

Tomita’s “Snowflakes Are Dancing” displays “classic” electronica tone paintings of Claude Debussy at their finest and doubles as a trippy Psychedelic “Christmas” album with its spiritual and supernatural wintry “Holiday” sound.

A wondrous psychedelic staple throughout 00individual’s life since its release in ’74; it evokes many cool emotions and manifests from a magical, serene, satisfying and otherworldly place – Christmas in Outer Space.

This is truly one of 00individual’s Top 50 All Time Favorite Albums. Every track has amazing transcendent qualities that while they cast an electronic chill, take you to other dimensions in the warm embryo of Christmas delight.

Tomita, pioneer and innovator, went on to become the premier electronica interpreter of classical pieces and then on to his own compositions, but “Snowflakes Are Dancing” stands out as a truly historic and gorgeous album that you really need to hear during this Winter Holiday Season and ever after.

SNOWFLAKES ARE DANCING!

Side A
“Snowflakes Are Dancing” – 2:10
“Reverie” – 4:44
“Gardens in the Rain” – 3:41

Silent Night-RotaryConnection-Topiction – 1968

CRANK IT UP!

STONED ON THE BAYOU WITH DR. JOHN THE NIGHT TRIPPER

It was late Summer 1968 on a full moonlit-filled night sky. 00 was in the Bayou, amber lights glowed from shanty windows among the swamp. With his gris sgris satchel in hand, 00 was on his way to see if his mojo was in touch with Mother Earth and if he will be one of the night’s chosen to walk through the fire and fly through the smoke at the occult soiree “walk on gilded splinters”.ceremony.
He felt good, he felt confident, he also felt the warm steamy swamp air fill his lungs, expanding them so much that he had to cough, but he held back, it was then that he realized it wasn’t the Bayou swamp air, it was the huge hit he just took from the passed hash pipe.

Listening to the exceptional Dr. John, the Night Tripper Gris Gris album created a psychedelic playground for the mind.
Just as It did back then, It still does today.
Getting stoned and listening to music is one of life’s pleasures, and it’s elightening!

Merry Christmas!

Here’s an early htristmas gift , the real deal, Dr. John Creaux’s classic gris-gris gumbo ya-ya;
:I WALK ON GILDED SPLINTERS

fROM 00INDIVIDUAL, A MEMBER OF THE lOVE GENERATION: WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE

00 is a proud member of the “Love Generation” born in 1951 and teleported with perfect and blessed timing into the ’50s as a kid, the ’60s as a teen, and in the ’70s as a twenties cosmic adventurer, enabled him to fully enjoy the height oft he ’60s and ’70s Love Generation era.

Truth is, the way the world has escalated into unheard of insanity, as trite as it may seem to many, love is what is needed now.

00 experienced unconditional love among his brothers and sisters and dogs, cats, and birds, so it is real, just hard to find these days.

So, 00individual presents and endorses the classic Burt Bacharach plea
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE sung by JACKIE DESHANNON

HAVE A LOVING AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

When the frost is on the punkin’

While letting the family dog out back for her early morning constitutional, 00 felt the chill in the air and saw the frost on the ground and on the plants. This reminded him of one of the wise sayings of his great grandaddy about the important things in life; such as;
When the weather is hot and sultry, it’s no time to commit adultry,
but, when the frost is on the Punkin’, then it’s time for peter dunkin’.

Merry Christmas!

Actual Archived 1966 Lined Notebook Paper Artifact

n (#31 Gary Galaxy and his Interplanetary Band)

In 1966 00individual was fifteen and in the ninth grade, and as the documented evidence proves, he spent his time wisely in class coming up with cool Rock Band names, rather than taking notes.
While most of these Rock Band names were juvenile, created by a juvenile, they also reflected the trend of actual bands’ names that were popular at the time, like Paul Revere and the Raiders, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Cannibal and the Headhunters, and ? and the Mysterians.

A few of the obvious ones did become actual bands like; the Weeds, the Savages, the Local Motives, the Reign, The (The) and the Zoo.

There were the existential ones; the Quirks of Fate, the Pointed Curves, the Reasons Why, the Irresistible Urge, and the Prisoners of Society and the rebel ones; the Freaks of Nature, the Grubs, the Musical Outcasts, the Worst Band Ever, the Back Alley Bonecrushers and the Boothill Rejects.

Today, with the thousands and thousands of bands in existence this 50+ year old list of band names is not all that clever when you consider that nearly every kind of combination and double entendre possible has been used by now; but this list was way before all of that and still has an innocent joy about it that defines the spirit of the those times.

00’s days of doodling in class paid off though, at nineteen he was able to get a righteous job soon after graduation in 1969 in an art department that was sponsored by the government.
