In my pot smoking days, I would bounce back and forth between the Cure's Happily Ever After double album (Seventeen Seconds and Faith as a two-fer) and marathons of the later post-One Bedroom Sea and Cake albums.

The first Tindersticks album
Luna - Bewitched
Yo La Tengo - And then Nothing Turned Itself Inside out
Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam
The Velvet Underground - s/t

& loads of Space jazz, Pharaoh Sanders 78-84 Sun Ra, Larry Young's Lawrence of Newark.
Henry cow's long instrumental improvisations.
Velvet Underground Nothing Song
Incredible String Band Hangman;'s beautiful daughter.

i recommend a strong sativa paired with Eric Copeland's Alien in a Garbage Dump for speedball-like roller coaster ride highs. totally safe and no hard drugs required!

best album while on LSD is Loveless, that album is a whole different level than just about anything ever.

Bee OK, Saturday, 17 June 2017 02:33 (six years ago) link

'i only said' makes me feel like i'm tripping when i'm sober and on my way to work in the early morning

global tetrahedron, Saturday, 17 June 2017 02:36 (six years ago) link

a more selective category would be "music that is only halfway decent when stoned" which for me is a significant portion of the classic rock oeuvre

dyl, Saturday, 17 June 2017 03:45 (six years ago) link

paul's boutique.

^ I wouldn't want to hear Nickelback stoned

Unchanging Window (Ross), Saturday, 17 June 2017 20:14 (six years ago) link

I don't think music with more than 100 bpm is enjoyable when stoned. Music appreciable by someone on pot should be open in one way or the other. There should be details in the music which can be concentrated on when being stoned. Techno for example does not seem a good choice as it is too straight, not subtle enough. But I understand that having smoked weed won't enhance music which isn't convincing when being sober. The effect of THC will only be to focus the listener. If the music is rubbish, it won't improve when you are stoned.

Ich bin kein Berliner (alex in mainhattan), Saturday, 17 June 2017 20:38 (six years ago) link

If you're into Achim Reichel The Insides' Euphoria lp has a lot of echoplex sounding guitar. Lovely lp alongside a 20 something female singer's angst filled lyrics.
Well worth checking out, not sure about getting stoned to.

calstars, Friday, 23 June 2017 03:59 (six years ago) link

was gonna say that waveless was great but mixed them up with breakaway

global tetrahedron, Friday, 23 June 2017 04:15 (six years ago) link

they're both really good though

global tetrahedron, Friday, 23 June 2017 04:22 (six years ago) link

Recommend a few breakaway tracks?

calstars, Friday, 23 June 2017 11:58 (six years ago) link

honestly, this totally depends on my mood AND the type of weed. Mental high = probably cerebral music of some kind: modern classical, Philip Glass, arch avant prog, absract electronic music. OR just listening to whatever I'm into at that moment, and probably hearing new things. When the high wears off, something a lot less demanding of my attention, and probably something I'm really familiar with.

Body high = do I even want to listen to music, or just watch TV? Or talk. If music, then probably something that goes well in the background (and again, familiarity is key). I feel like when a lot of people talk about "music to get stoned to", this is the state they mean.

Bernie Lugg (Ward Fowler), Friday, 30 June 2017 11:22 (six years ago) link

liam have you read Mezz Mezzrow's Really the Blues? I think it would be relevant to your interests.

JoeStork, Friday, 30 June 2017 13:42 (six years ago) link

Man, I know they just collected all of AR Kane's singles into a handy 2-CD set, but if they re-released 69 with the Up Home EP it would quickly become one of the most amazing discs in my collection

the underground is pass-agg (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 30 June 2017 22:16 (six years ago) link

As far as music for stonings, I'd prob recommend Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun and The Sea and Cake's The Fawn for starters

The ultimate band to smoke weed to are the Cowboy Junkies. The new album is so good. Margo Timmins voice is as sexy and slightly smoky as ever. Like a hazy dream.
