Music to get stoned to

The New Year - Snow. What a beauty of hypnotic laidbackness.

Galaxie 500 - On Fire

Raffi- Baby Beluga

Loveless is the best weed music

Grouper

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.

Ant Bee Pure Electric Honey
Tangerine Dream Zeit
Jefferson Airplane After Bathing At Baxters
Savage republic Jamahiriya
Grateful Dead Dick's Picks 4
John Martyn Inside Out

Wolf Alice - My Love Is Cool

Zeit seems suited for more powerful psychedelics

Zeit is great as night road music on the German autobahn.

xpost Yes, to Zeit!

Recurring - Spacemen 3
Automatic Writing - Robert Ashley
King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown - Augustus Pablo (but p much all dub and reggae)
Get Up With It - Miles Davis
Halve Maen - Double Leopards
Black Album - LaMonte Young
World of Echo - Arthur Russell
Biokinetics - Porter Ricks
Journey in Satchidananda - Alice Coltrane
and of course yr Dead show of choice (today, who not 100 Year Hall)

Galaxie 500 - On Fire

Wore out a C90 in uni with that on one one side and The Perfect Prescription on the other

Dark Star from 8/27/72. it's the highest rated DS on HeadyVersions, only description: "Kind of scary."

Really enjoying this The New Year album, although I am not stoned atm

Of course dub. Still one of my faves:
UB40 - Present Arms in Dub

More albums I loved to listen to in those golden days of carefree youth under the spell of Mary Jane:

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
Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner
Mazzy Star - So Tonight that I Might See

Couldn't think what dub/reggae to put in my earlier list or would have done. Definitely some.
& 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.
Gong

Heart of the Congos + Dopesmoker are both great albums to listen to while stoned

Sleep - dopesmoker
Bongwater - Power of Pussy
Hooker N Heat

Colleen - Captain of None

enya

In high school we used to enjoy side 2 Roxy Music For Your Pleasure

valet - naked acid

Gong

^^^ they didn't call 'em Pot Head Pixies for naught.

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!

macula dog - why do you look like your dog?

Maybe an obvious one but Hendrix - 1983 is just the best for this

And maybe either Spanish Castle Magic or Axis (title track) to follow it up

food to eat while stoned

that last Tribe Called Quest album goes all geometric on you if you're real high late at night

Steely Dan - Through With Buzz

one of my favorite subjects:

The Beatles - Revolver
The band - the Band
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Bedhead - Transaction de Novo
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
Portishead - Third
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Steely Dan - Aja
The Cure - Seventeen Seconds
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Wolfmother - Wolfmother
Fever Ray - Fever Ray
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

...

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

'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.

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.

Ack, sorry about the gunk.

thanks Stev, good choice

Insides Euphoria kicks ass

Thanks to flappy for that dark star rec upthread

Waveless - my apathy
https://open.spotify.com/track/3dtDa7dQcCDkkKz9Q3zkC7

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

they're both really good though

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.

A Top 10 from Youth of Killing Joke/Brilliant etc etc
http://louderthanwar.com/youth-killing-joke/#.WVYevaEMtok.twitter

I think we've had it out on ILX before somewhere as to whether Super Ape is a dub alb or not

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

yeah erykah badu 4 sure

more hard rock/doom metal albums please

i guess all of it really

anything

OM - Conference of the Birds

OM + weed + thunderstorm is perfect

conference of the birds is dope

DJ Frane - Journey to the Planet of Birds

http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Big_Blood/The_Daughters_Union/3_Thank_You_For_The_Path

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

Autechre - late period Autechre is fascinating ON WEED. I recommend Move of Ten, AE_LIVE_DUBLIN, and elseqs 2-5

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.

http://mindspringmemories.bandcamp.com/album/--12

the new Low album reveals itself as almost equal to 'loveless' while stoned, if my thursday evening was anything to go by

You must have been smashed

Only heard it once so far but I can see that working re: Low.

on the interstate to see MBV tonight, planning to eat 3x my usual dose

That’s a lot of shrooms dude

Nothing worse than being clean and sober at an Mbv show

autechre nts sessions

best music videos to get stoned to:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK4A0YHZlBQ

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

p.d.q. bach

bongwater - power of pussy
