A video playlist for your Spring Weekend comedown
You’ll never truly be ready for it–the end of Spring Weekend. The Tuesday after, we are still feeling the burn. Known and unknown intoxicants are still dwindling in your bloodstream as you try to wrap your head around the idea of looming finals. Photos of what you do and don’t remember are cluttering your various news feeds. But, it’s almost Wednesday, and what you need is to dial it back and ride out the rest of this vibe with some funky sounds and psychedelic visuals. Take a break and ease your body and mind to prep for the coming springtime festivities (12 hours in the Rock #turnup).Let’s warm up with a couple unique iterations of the classic couple’s narrative. They might take you right back to memories of your high school crush, but accompanied by a mind-blowing and incredibly creative visuals. A-ha broke ground in 1985 with their pencil-animated romance, while Tame Impala will provide you with a sexually-charged, slightly NSFW trip that just keeps building.

"The guy in the Tame Impala video went for it right after gym class and that's a little grody - but I respect it."
Alright, we’re going to escalate this a bit and move on to some seriously trippy visuals. These videos are a little shorter, but certainly more intense. FlyLo’s known for his experimental beats and his contributions to Adult Swim throughout the past decade. The second video in this group’s a bit more, um, hard to follow. Just check it out and trust that we know our stuff.[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ScYz9sNaQk[/embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffmnlUL8hOk&oref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DffmnlUL8hOk&has_verified=1
"I'm not really sure what just happened, but I think I pooped a little bit."
Now that you know we weren’t completely out of our minds (we hope) in the selection so far, here’s some slower more psychedelic-infused videos. Definitely more on the colorful side. Blockhead will give you some mind-blowing imagery at a consumable pace, and A$AP, well, he'll give you exactly what the title of his song implies.

“Wow, that ending was real slow, really just dialed back a notch. Just went swimmingly, real swell.”
Happy viewing!
