SUMMER'S VAGE CLOUD

Reseda, California is a well-known place. Wiki says:

A number of motion pictures have been produced and set in Reseda and other parts of the San Fernando Valley. Films set in Reseda include The Karate Kid, Boogie nights, Tuff Turf, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, with its car chase scenes down the channel of the Los Angeles River.

I don't care.
To me, Reseda is the place where SFVacid squeezes drowsy acid out his set of classic machines. Check his myspace, buy his CD-r, watch this vid:

WITCHES AND TRIANGLES

Witch House is supposed to be the next big thing in the lo-fi/glo-gaze/hypna-shit/cassette-only/wtf underground (pretty weird, since Salem's early stuff is from 2 years ago...), so you hipsters should already know Cosmotropia de Xam's work as Mater Suspiria Vision, ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ, Videodrome Reality, and Pwin ▲▲ Teaks (note the double triangle trick: triangles, together with palms, have been elected official icons of the year). Here is an example from the latter; Cosmotropia's stuff is awesome and we're big fans of his works, so who cares about triangles: at least, palms are not there...

OFFON

This one is a true "obscure classic" made by Scott Bartlett in 1967; it's regarded as the first "videographic" film ever made in the USA; video-loops heavily processed with video colorization techniques and a noisy acid electronic sound-track. Seminal.
