What do you like to listen to when doing your 4:20?

I listen to Bob Marley.

Is this like doing a "number 2"? Is this some kinda insanely complicated poo?

i used to could do a 720 when i was a skateboarder

I was kidding

I remember laughing at Tool and Cocteau Twins videos but that's about it

etc.
i am high a lot.

xpost (i listen to these stoned)

I hate listening to hardcore and punk when I'm high.

Roy Ayers
Alpha's Come from Heaven
Arto Lindsey's Mundo Civilizado
Certain Bob James tracks (the phonkay ones)
Grace Jones' Private Life
Tortoise - TNT
Biconical of the Rammellzee
Money Mark's Keyboard Repair
Grover Washington Jr's Live at the Bijou
Cal Tjader's Monterey Concert
plus Pharcyde's 'Quinton's on his way'
and Freestyle Fellowship's 'M-m-m-m-Mary'

hey!!! that's a nice lil list!

Motown is one of the few things I can't stand when I'm smoking - a whole relentlessly upbeat album of it would make me want to jump out of the window.

Otherwise, no difference at all to what I usually listen to.

haha OTM, except I do it anyway because it's fun to get way too amped up about it.

I'm impossibly cheerful high.

I can perform the HELL outta this when high.

Whatever it is I'm listening to, it only lasts for about 15 seconds. I listen to a lot.

Miles Davis
Talking Heads
Boredoms
Can
Harmonia
Manitoba/Caribou
Guided By Voices
Ariel Pink
Nas
MBV
post-2000 Radiohead
Sonic Youth

I really need to get some Scientist/King Tubby/etc though.

Hey, Mark never answered his own question!

No smoke these days, but circa my youngncrazies Massive Attack's Mezzanine was a favorite, as was Homework and (if I was really really fucked up) Richard Cheese.

You ain't never seen a stoner lounge dance like me.

lots of other stuff. those are the first bands that spring to mind where the musical experience is enhanced in one way or another

Love Supreme didn't do it for me, but whilst on the herb I swore by Interstellar Space

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping and assuming La Dusseldorf would be nice.

Also, jmeister's right way up there about listening to things the first time while stoned. I thought the Books' Lost and Found was brilliant for a while because of that. Turns out I was just stoned every time I heard it.

This is impossible.. I didn't know about ILX until 2002. How could I possibly have started this thread? I have no recollection of this whatsoever, and on top of that the first time I smoked weed was 2001.

And I don't use the phrase 4:20 to refer to weed ever.. and also I'm not a "weed culture" dude although I enjoy it, I think weed culture is totally lame. Except I do enjoy top 40 radio while high, so maybe I did post this somehow..

AFX, autechre, radiohead, dead c, black nasty, silver jews, etc.

(some old threads, perhaps ones that never got answered at first, are mis-dated. it has something to do with the switch to ilx 2)

house music btw

this question is just impossible.

michael hurley
robert ashley
charalambides
robret pete williams
taj mahal travelers
popol vuh
dead c seconded
flying burrito brothers
and so so so soo much more. basically any of the music that i really love alraedy.

robert* pete williams

and
unaccompanied ballad singing of any type (esp. shirley collins, nimrod workman, anne briggs, assorted dudes on folkways-style anthologies.)

and
sacred harp singing

and
john fucking fahey

my life is pretty much smoking weed & listening to records yet i still find time to get angry and/or depressed! wtf,ian.

my list from three years ago still mostly otm.

the same shit i listen to any other time, except it sounds better

Granny's is the only real answer, but I guess some things do lend themselves more to this activity for whatever reason. I mean, nobody thinks to themself, "Ok, gonna get good and weeded. Songs of Leonard Cohen will be perfect!" Or maybe some people do, but they're a real drag at parties.

Marc Moulin - Placebo Sessions
Triosk meets Jan Jelinek - 1+3+1
Uusitalo - Tulenkantaja
Stereolab - Dots and Loops
Triple R - Friends
Donnacha Costello - Colorseries
Arovane - Lilies
Manu Katche - Neighborhood
Django Reinhardt box set
Thomas Fehlmann - Honigpumpe
Beethoven Symphony No. 6
Morvern Callar soundtrack

And whatever, 1000 things. That's just me scrolling through my iTunes library and imagining I have a fresh bag of something sticky, which I do not. :(

Art Tatum blew my mind while high.

Love Supreme didn't do it for me, but whilst on the herb I swore by Interstellar Space

― Hoosteen (Hoosteen)

Buncha goddamn hippies.

― Haikunym (Haikunym)

That's JAZZ HIPPIE to you.

This made me think of an old fave: Pharoah Sanders - Karma. Incense preferable, dashiki optional.

Goodie Mob Soul Food

― the doaple gonger (nickalicious)

Amen

Keeps me from snapping, keeps me calm

whatever i normally listen to, except i'm paying much closer attention.

I want to see Geir's answer.
