The Veldt

[*simba*]

Ok so I'm a little behind here, but I really enjoyed this. One of my favorite composers shared a Deadmau5 video on Facebook last night and I watched it. It was the first time that I'd actually heard of this song. Here's the video:

Well after I heard said song I was informed that there was a short story that it's based off of, so naturally I found and read it. The story is called 'The Veldt' by Ray Bradbury and it's quite...cool/fucked up. I really recommend reading it if you haven't. It's really short so it doesn't take long. Can be read here:

After you read it (if you choose to) watch that video again. It goes from 'Oh cool two kids imagining a savanna and having a load of fun' to 'What the actual fuck.'

Again, I know I'm probably far behind on this, but it was a good read.

I read that story in english a couple years ago, I'll listen to the song when I have a chance.

this is now my one hipster claim

 

[JWoods]

That was so crazy, I had no idea that there was a story behind it at all

 

[paige.]

yeah we studied it in seventh grade. probably the best story we covered all year although it doesn't take much to top the Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

 

[BrewskiJr]

This isn't even the full version. Fuck that.

had to read this for class. ftw! the way he moves his synthesizers in this song is fucking incredible.

 

[NinetyFour]

Didn't realize there was a story either. Now the lyrics make sense...!

Tommy Trash remix is straight fire. I think it's much better than the original.

I like both a lot, something about the Tommy Trash just sounds off to me
