Most pop music a little too straight-forward to you? Animal Collective are the group responsible for one of 2004’s most critically praised releases to date, their mesmerizing Sung Tongs. Subverting traditional song structure in a blend called “campfire music on acid,” the Collective manage to be idiosyncratic while still incredibly melodic, and their live show will be enough to compel the most hardened disbeliever. With local psych-rockers Sunburned Hand of the Man. Tickets $10. 9 p.m. T.T. the Bear’s Place...
...last glass, the sommelier brings the very wine Giamatti's character, a wine snob, rails against: American Merlot. But it's a 2001 Pahlmeyer, and it's impressive. "It's got so much going on. So much acid, so much tannin, so much fruit--you taste them so distinctly that with age they'll meld into one distinct flavor," Payne says. It's that same blending that Payne does, mixing the effete and the unpretentious, the banal with the surreal, the painstakingly honed with the unretouched, that make his movies so good.

Studying the nine candidate genes in DNA samples provided by his subjects, Hamer quickly hit the genetic jackpot.

Critics have found it all too easy to dismiss him as an acid - damaged jester who blew it. In fact, from his idyllic family home above Avebury, Cope has made a fruitful cottage industry of his cosmic obsessions and scattershot curiosity, recording scores of albums and writing successful and engaging books...
...jumped on any advantage they could find: animal, vegetable, or chemical. Like the Beatles and other contemporaries, Wilson had begun to dabble in LSD and found that its influence unleashed new possibilities for his music. His burgeoning sense of competition with the Beatles led to an escalating acid arms race. At the very height of his powers, Wilson partnered with intimidating quantities of hashish and a gifted young lyricist, Van Dyke Parks, and began to record what was very publicly billed as the greatest pop album of all time. That is, until he very publicly collapsed...
