Neil Young
Neil Young recently put out an album called Psychedelic Pill which, as the name suggests, is a bit of a bug out, maaaan.
With that in mind we were inspired to track down some of the most psychedelic things Neil’s done in his life — including onstage Jawas, Charles Manson songs and the ending to Journey Through The Past.
The result: 10 Great Psychedelic Neil Young Moments. Which you can find on Spinner by clicking here.
Enjoy the trip, dude.

Ice-T & Snoop Lion
Ice-T was in Toronto recently for TIFF 2012 to promote his film Iceberg Slim: Portrait Of A Pimp. The film features numerous contributions from rappers talking about the original pimp-poet, including a pre-Rasta conversion Snoop Dogg.
Sarah interviewed Ice-T about the film, and when she had some down time she also asked him about Snoop Lion and Snoop’s other TIFF film, Reincarnated.

Snoop Lion
The director of the film Reincarnated says Snoop Doggs conversion to reggae rastafarian Snoop Lion is the real deal.
Snoop recently had a chance to explain his new worldview himself at a Reincarnated press conference during the TIFF 2012.
He answered some questions, but mostly left everyone guessing in the end. Essentially, there’s still some Dogg in Snoop Lion, what everyone’s trying to figure out it “How much?”
Sarah recapped the event for Huffington Post Music Canada. You can click through to read the whole thing here.
