Listening to Man is the Bastard while really high is as thrilling as a roller coaster.

of course., the best time can be a natural high - when you've just woken up in the morning and music is playing. My stereo/alarm woke me up with the soothing sounds of Bine by Autechre one morning and it took me a full minute to realise I hadn't gone to hades.

Absolutely, I enjoy it. It's what scary music's made for! I save up scary music so I can torment myself while high, I make music for months just so I can disorient myself when the time comes.

I pulled an all nighter last night w/ lots of coffee (and vanilla coke) while listening to Masonna on headphones full blast without any lights on and when the album ended i had this terrible/wonderful physiological sensation that I don't think I've ever felt before.

Honda, that's more than I can bear. But, I've got to ask... perhaps you mean you'd never truly felt before?

I once drove from Atlanta to NYC in one 16-hour stretch, drinking coffee and popping Enerjets caffeine lozenges the whole way. By hour #11, I was listening to Nirvana's In Utero and feeling VERY paranoid and freaked out.

Totally.

Any of those "Sounds Of Halloween" CDs when you're on a mix of mescaline and PCP are really, nevermind, those cds are always lame.

No, it freaks me out.

Depends. While robutussin made me think Dean Wareham and Morrissey were chemical scientists when they made "Fourth Of July" and "Mute Witness" respectively, the Human League's "Dare" made me think robots were taking over the world (Robo + "Dare" killed Lester Bangs, btw) and Madonna's "Music" video put me in a three-day funk about the worthlessness of human life. For some reason I couldn't even hear the song (which I know think is great) and only heard a drum beat and her saying "music" over and over. I supposedly muttered "it's like the fall of rome" a lot.

Do not listen to In Utero on magic mushrooms. A friend of mine did, which caused one of the three other lads he was with to start screaming Nirvana-lyric-esque babble before repeatedly punching himself in the face with all the force he could muster. The poor fool was eventually taken away in a riot van. Nasty.

DISCO WILL DESTROY US ALL

unless it is VHS 0r Beta in which case it will rule us all.

I rarely dabble in such pastimes these days but mushrooms can make a lot of music even more interesting than it is--although I've never been scared by it. One time years ago I was on E listening to some pretty chilled music on a cd-r and forgot that I had recorded part of Trans Am "Trans Am" on the end of it--that was a rude awakening, but cool once I got used to it.

skinny puppy's "last rights" (the last track especially) can turn everyday friendly household inanimate objects hostile if you make the grievous mistake of consuming psychotropics. trust me.
