There’s some stuff out there I like just because it’s fucked up, and the video for BerT‘s “An Adventure 65 Million Light Years in the Making” definitely fits the bill. The song, which was recorded live at Mac’s Bar in the band’s native Lansing, Michigan, is riffy weirdness set to visuals of animals eating each other, space and even a little chimpanzee karate thrown in the middle for good measure. It’s a psychedelic horror trip, and somehow it fits the music perfectly.

I can’t help but think that documentary series Planet Earth would have won even more Emmys if it had this soundtrack:

In case anyone’s looking for a fix of weird, Lansing‘s BerT have placed two of their albums, Budgum Toe… a Tale of Two Toes and BerT — both released this year on the band’s own Madlantis Records — online for free streaming and downloading at Bandcamp. Since I think that’s so nifty of them, and since their tracks have quelled my week’s desire for musical quirk, I grabbed the player for Budgum Toe… a Tale of Two Toes off the Madlantis site, and you can use it to listen to the full album below. Have fun.
