bitches

brew


and then

oh, it's actually myspace.com/jonquiluk

sorry

and an addendum, the adam gnade "palaces" record is a double disc set with a record called "whidbey island" which is great, but the "palace" side is the one to do drugs to


brother miles

MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILES.

On that tip: QUIET NIGHTS from 1964.

Miles is everything


The Abbey Road Medley

Anything by Pentangle

Alfie - Do You Imagine Things

Gorky's - Bwyd Time

Old Beach Boys demos of Smile.


ooooo

good call on alfie...excellent call :)


such a great underrated record

why does nobody talk about them?


I do

I once served them in the supermarket, they were very excited at me knowing who they were.

In other news - drugs are bad.


yeah I agree there

i've given up for good now. it's not a lifestyle that agreed with me on the whole.

Mega-kudos for that story. I would have loved to have seen them live before they split!


I use to spin that Alfie album

loads when I was workin in a van one summer it was ace summer music.


People and Stuntman

is one of the best opening two tracks of any album. I just love the upbeat positive vibe to it all.


indeed

i prefer the follow-up album though


People is such an ace tune

I haven't heard that album in ages, I might go dig it out.


Miles Davis

Comets on Fire
Kyuss
Rated R by QOTSA
Madvillain
A Tribe Called Quest


a love supreme

john coltrane


I haven't gone up in smoke for quite a while

DJ Food & DK Solid Steel mix thingy is a craker.

Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92.

The Pharcyde... I can't think which one it was it could have been a best of compilation.

But mixing on my decks usualy won out while stoned.

I would sugest not ever listening to DJ Zinc mixes while stoned his wobbley basslines made me ill on a few occasions hehe.

spiritualized


there are few things in life better

than cracking into a big bag of green and delving into one of the Trojan Records dub box sets.

Taking drugs to make music to take drugs to.

YEAH

OH SHIT, Black Sabbath PARANOID


WELL DONE

First to suggest the only fucking band to do it to.

BLACK SABBATH - BLACK SABBATH

The idea of anything else above this is just stupid.


Also

There's people here suggesting records and songs that would make any self respecting stone whitey instantly....


Depending on the high

Anything by Don Cherry or Alice Coltrane.

Hanging on the Telephone

I Feel Love

When the Sun Hits


MM Food by MF Doom

is funny enough if you're straight, but if you're high its something else, especially the skits with the old guy. "Now you're thinking... how on earth does that old fella eat alla that crazy stuff?"


.

the Jimi Exp. - Electric Ladyland
The Doors - s/t or Strange Days


cLOUDDEAD

Both Ten and s/t.

The Velvet Underground & Nico is slightly obvious, but its such a fantastic album to have a smoke to.


I love this thread

back in 88 I got into Electric Ladyland and pot about the same time. whoa....

more recently anything by the Mars Volta.

even Kanye and Jay-Z are pretty good through a haze of smoke.

excuse me while I check the "spare room".


Botch - We Are The Romans

no joke!


Spiritualized

Spacemen 3
cLOUDDEAD
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Miles Davis
Ulrich Schnauss

Though it's years since I was last high.


Pink Floyd.

Early stuff but especially Dark Side.


Sigur Ros

()

(and yes, I love smoking grass).

Point?


DRUGS ARE AWESOME

LOOK AT HOW COOL I AM FOR DOING DRUGS

?


and the answer is

Hawkwinds' Space Ritual


Burial and GY!BE

Needed to be said


for me,

would have to be Man Called Sun by Verve. Such a great band in their early days.


GY!BE

is a good call.

especially Skinny Fists.


i get high

to just about anything. does that make me cool? no.

but i guess i discovered the marvelous effects that marijuana has on music while listening to wowee zowee by pavement. now that's a stoned record.


I have been mostly listening to....r

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Maps - we can create
Jeff Lewis - It's the ones that are cracked etc....
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love


I like music

by drug addicts, for drug addicts, about drug addicts...which pretty much covers 75% of my record collection.

But let's say some mid-70s Aerosmith for starters.


I'll start with a single track,

Waltzin' Black by The Stranglers.

As for albums;

Burial by Burial

Diaries of an Afro Warrior by Skream

Skream by Skream

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada

Underachievers Please Try Harder by Camera Obscura (bit of an odd one that, but it is really good to listen to when stoned)

Knives Don't Have Your Back by Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton (Emily Haines' voice just kind of wraps itself round your brain, it's incredibly melifluous sounding)

Young Team by Mogwai (although if I'm stoned and listening to With Portfolio over headphones it's nigh on unbearable)

Person Pitch by Panda Bear.


yeah

Panda Bear, hell yes


oh

MBV? Loveless? On headphones. In the dark. With a massive spliff on Thai bud. Fwwwwooorahghhhh.


diary of an afro warrior is by benga

and yes, I love smoking grass lol rofl smileyface.

urrrghh


I've just stumbled upon a gem

Two Headed Boy by Neutral Milk Hotel. Try it. Seriously
