Music to get stoned to

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

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

paul's boutique.

also, like thousands of rap songs.

Ghostface -KILO

Speaks volumes about ilx that not once has anyone expressed the moral irresponsibility of stoning people

Especially in the 21st c

Stoned soul picnic??

i love that ilx 2017 is pretty much taking this question straightforwardly and unironically. is this the point where post-ironic sarcasm goes TOO FAR?

what do you mean maaaaan

STEAMHAMMER

i know mordy and '+ +' already made this joke but i literally can't think of any music that is not in this category

^ I wouldn't want to hear Nickelback stoned

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.

Afrobeat
Benga
New kingdom
The Goats
Brian Jones Presents The pipes Of Pan At Jajouka (Your Eyes Are Like A cup Of Tea is hypnotic enough on its own)
Loop
The Forever Bad Blues Band

Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies

Miles Davis - in a silent way

Good one

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
Listening to it has a similar effect as smoking a joint.

Clothilde -Fallait Pas Écraser La Queue Du Chat

Assuming we're talking about some decent Afghan or Nepalese, or at a pinch Lebanese, hash - not skunk.

not true ime! techno is some of my favorite music to listen to after smoking a little

Agree with marcos - find that a slowed down pot mind can make it easier to enjoy faster music (Drukqs comes to mind). I don't always find this is the case with stimulants on the other hand

Should we define stoned

I don't think music with more than 100 bpm is enjoyable when stoned.

cannot cosign, a LOT of grind bands basically smoke as much pot as they can and then play as fast as they can and it's glorious. Brutal Truth while high is a fucking thrillride

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

United States of America s/t
White Noise - An electric storm
Catherine Ribiero - Paix

1. Circle — Sunrise
2. literally anything

AR Kane - 69
Lo Borges - his first album and A Via Lactea
Loveless for sure
Harold Budd - The White Arcades
Raekwon - Only Built For Cuban Linx

so many...

THE FAME MONSTER is a fucking insane listen while stoned

Al Green

Neil Young

Kerri Chandler

frickin' Autechre, man

Move of Ten
Untilted

I checked twice before posting this one but seriously, next time you get lifted listen to The Quintet: Jazz at Massey Hall. Bud Powell will take you to new places.

CAN - The Singles

i have never tried tago mago in this state but it has to be awesome.

In the middle of testing the AR Kane - 69 shout-out above tonight, and I can verify the claim. This is phenomenal. Recommended experience.

xpost Glad to be of service!

A.R.Kane i is also really good as are the e.ps which were collected on a 2cd set a couple of years back.
Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious or not as case may be.

i never understood the fuss about a.r.kane. maybe i didn't listen to 69 in the right circumstances...

Context. When they showed up *nothing* else sounded like them. They were being stupidly hailed as a "black jesus & Mary Chain" but, besides the judicioususe of guitar feedback, nothing could have been further from the truth. They were doing the layers of blissful guitars and swoony vocals some years before MBV and others took up the mantle.

But it's cool. I know plenty of folks who can't stand AR Kane and then there are those few, like me, who'll be forevah smitten.

A.R.Kane were grouped into a thing that was dubbed Oceanic Rock with some other bands who were pretty unique at the time.
I think Hugo Largo, Saqqara Dogs and a few others. THink that was about 88 so before Loveless.

That Oceanic Rock thing is a Simon Reynolds moniker. I *do* remember AR Kane being the first people I ever heard use the term "Dreampop" (describing themselves).

everything

A.R. Kane - Americana 2x1LP
Last Sold: Aug 2016
Highest Price: $12
1 copy listed for sale: $99.99

Apparently you must also be stoned to list AR Kane records for sale.

BTW, I think I may have been that last purchase back in August.

Loveless was much better than any of that... hold on though, I've never heard of Saqqara Dogs.

Jon Hassell "Vernal Equinox"

69 is such a cool weird album, it's like a stoned ocean drifting talk talk

With distorted guitars

shostakovich

this basically describes the entire 'genre' of music i listen to even though i'm not always high when i'm listening to it.

midtown 120 blues

this basically describes the entire 'genre' of music i listen to even though i'm not always high when i'm listening to it.

disco like classic salsoul, first choice, loleatta holloway is absolutely fantastic stoner music, especially if you are like even %1 queer, which i know you are

if you're stoned and you want to bawl with joy, listen to "my love is free" by double exposure

boy oh boy is this true. Weed = music's little lie detector

mountains (sewn especially) are best listened to high
