Dark Side of the Rainbow?



If you've even met anyone who has ever smoked pot, you know the urban legend about how [inhale] if you synch up The Wizard of Oz and The Dark Side of the Moon [exhale] they totally go together perfectly. Well, the internet is a wonderful thing. You no longer have to track down your buddy's cousin's fiance's brother, who has a projector and some mean Cali green -- and seems to magically always be at work when you show up at his apartment -- to check it out. Above is the first part, for your viewing pleasure.

Gotta be honest, I'm not really seeing it, but judge for yourself. Pink Floyd themselves deny that it was done on purpose (though, dude, of course they would) and, as Robert Altman (RIP) has pointed out, you can take a random piece of audio and a random piece of film and get some happy accidents. But hey, whatever's clever.
