The Manic Mechanic

You've probably heard about this one before, back in the days before intarwebz video, or, for that matter, the internet as it has become today. Get yourself a videotape (or DVD) of The Wizard of Oz and your album (or CD, or mp3/ogg file or proprietary Apple version) of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, load both into their respective players, and start the album playback just as the MGM lion finishes roaring. With the sound turned down on the movie, Pink Floyd will provide the soundtrack. The lyrics as well as the music will synchronize with the movie in uncanny ways, as if The Floyd had been watching the movie itself and planned it all along. I tried this before with a VHS tape and a CD, and it's remarkable in spots. I finally came across someone who has done all the work for us and posted the full version in high quality on Vimeo. No bothersome gathering of media, just click play.

Without further ado, here is The Dark Side of Oz. It's an hour and forty-two minutes long, so grab some popcorn, maximize the video window, and put on the headphones. Mind-altering substances optional. ;-)

It's movie time here at The Garage of Mayhem. I bring you intrigue, history, lies, murder, war, religion, conspiracies and more. It's a must-see, since it involves just about anything you know about the world as it is. I am not going to add any more commentary here, but am willing to continue in the comments section. So, grab a tall one, a bag of popcorn, (it's nearly two hours) and perhaps a tin foil hat.

Note that some scenes might be a bit intense for some viewers.
