A.R. Kane - Americana 2x1LPLast Sold: Aug 2016Highest Price: $121 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.

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

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

His voice is the hardest part to tolerate for a full album. They should have done more instrumentals.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 23:47 (six years ago) link
huh i think his voice is fine, lovely even.

When I was a kid I checked Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man out of the library thinking it was the H.G. Wells sci-fi novel! Anyway, I read about a hundred pages, fully expecting the unnamed downtrodden African American narrator to eventually become a scientist, invent an invisibility potion and go nuts or something. Which he never does, obviously.
Regardless, the book's introductory first chapter smells strongly of sci-fi: Invisible Man lives anonymously in a hidden room in the sewers filled with thousands of light bulbs powered by stolen electricity. He describes how one time he tried to bum a cigarette and someone gave him a marijuana cigarette instead; how he got stoned and listened to Louis Armstrong and his perception of time changed profoundly and things like that. Twelve year old Liam was all like, "Whoa! Weed makes music better!?", a fact he never forgot and eventually found was perfectly true.
Anyway, I'll second Invisible Man and nominate Louis Armstrong's protostoner Hot 5's and 7's as basically peerless weed music. Even the lo-fi time-weathered nature of these records, and also the fact that they are artifacts from what is basically an alien culture at this remove, adds for me a kind of inimitable smoky/ghostly mystique to it all. The stuff has aged like the finest of weed-flavored wines.

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.

Recommend a few breakaway tracks?

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.

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

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

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.

alex tucker's new album (don't look away) is excellent to get stoned to especially if you dig classic eno vocal records

I remember listening to The Way Young Lovers Do from Astral Weeks stoned, and suddenly noticing the counterpoint in the strings, all the little touches. So I'll second AW.
