Let’s draw a simple Venn diagram: in one circle we’ll place fans of stoner metal legendary\u00a0Sleep<\/strong>, the other will be assigned to people who enjoy mindfuck movies. If by any chance you happen to be at the intersection of those two groups, boy, you’re in for a treat.<\/p>\n

Reddit is the so called “front page of the internet”, which means it can be a terrifying and awe-inspiring place to be all at once. Despite its much maligned status, some of the dopest stuff I’ve found online was shared there. Like Dan Graham’s masterpieces, shared by the man himself to the stoner rock subreddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dan Graham’s Holy Mountain<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

You may or may not be familiar with Alejandro Jodorowsky’s work. One of his most famous films is 1973\u00a0The Holy Mountain<\/em>, a mindfuck of a film depicting the journey of a man that bears an uncanny resemblance with Jesus Christ through a surreal landscape. Tarot; John Lennon and Yoko Ono funding; Allen Klein (The Beatles’ manager) handling production and a lot of controversial shots have\u00a0all contributed to the film’s cult status. It is rumored that Sleep’s second full-length is at least partially inspired by the 70’s film.<\/p>\n

Astutely, Dan Graham proceeded to do something great. Something for the kids. He put together the first 40 minutes of Jodo’s film along with the first 40 minutes of\u00a0Sleep’s Holy Mountain<\/em>, to an outstanding result. Witness the thickness below. If 40 minutes is too much for you to handle, there is a YouTube playlist in which the video is cut to 6 smaller pieces – stab here<\/a> to watch it. If you never watched the original film, it is split up in two – just stab here<\/a> & here<\/a>. This is all NSFW, so be careful.<\/p>\n
