DESCRIPTION:
Once upon a time, there was an enclave of spirited magicians who made beautiful aural manifestations that proved to be the delight of all that discovered those treasures.

Further flamboyant descriptions about the band, its likes and influences, what they feel about various issues, dark secrets about favorite foods could be imparted here but this is an instance of Phantom Culture in real-time created for your personal edification.

This is real reality, raw stuff. Unrehearsed, unscripted, unedited, unexpected.
Even if you were there, you weren't this there.

Good advice: Turn the resolution on your monitors to the max.

It has been widely reported that certain experiences may lead to serious bouts of re-evaluation, sudden shifts to a more free-thinking mindset; causing an increased thirst for more of the same.
Phantom Culture is prepared slake said as your insatiable cultural appetite runs rampant.
Prepare the mind for stimulation to greater heights of comprehension found surrounding certain nuances of this existential conundrum.
Magically, a sort of alchemical transformation transpires.
To the alarm of many, one becomes more - sophisticated.
Often, the condition is irreversible.
Fair warning.
Turn back now.

Culture is one of those ubiquitous conditions: you can never have enough. Without, life is a dismal drudge barely worth living and not much more than an ant farm.
Culture is indicative of how evolved, how sophisticated we've become as a species - the differentiator between ourselves and, say, slugs or toadstools. Gauging said differences can prove elevating.
The "Mona Lisa" by Da Vinci is illustrative of culture. The expulsion of gas from one's backside is not, though that may evoke a titter from a few.
Those that may confuse the two will probably find the offerings herein less to their liking.
Too bad.
As has been said, "don't let the door smack you in your gas-maker during your departure."

Note: What became one project has morphed into another - the Phantom Culture Channel.
Well, that is sometimes the alchemical nature of existence.
Not only is this anime a recorded piece of musical history but it also serves as an example as to how a band or musician can achieve a pretty cool video on the cheap - with an inexpensive minicamcorder coupled with the great, free video editor tools YouTube/Google provide - which is extraordinarily nice of them.
Thanks, YouTube and Google. You rawk!
