drugs: visual art versus audible art
KharBevNor:
I had some pretty sweet times stoned off my head last night, including some quite groovy minor visual hallucinations. At one point, I was just staring at this tower on the opposite shore of the Solent, and then it suddenly started walking towards me, like some sort of giant robot, its navigations lights swimming like arms.
Then I concentrated more, and saw that it was actually Keanu Reeves.
And then he started moonwalking across the skyline on top of an oil tanker.
Then I drank some more vodka. Drugs are fun.
Misereatur:
Godamnit I wish I could sig' that.
And yeah, apart from cigarettes (I had never ever touched one, nor do I intend to*), I've never been offered drugs. Even when my friends smoked a joint next to me they kept it away.
Or maybe that was because I was 15, they were 17 and 18 and feeling over protective..?
*People actually dont believe me when I say I dont smoke. Fuckers.
brandie:
You all must've had crappy friends. I bought my fair share of drugs, but I'd say I got even more for free. Including my friend in high school whose parents had GARBAGE BAGS full of weed and would give me a handfull anytime I came over.
Misereatur:
I seriously hope you asked his parents to adopt you.
KharBevNor:
My folks bought me up all hippy. It ain't a joint if you're not sharing. Kids these days just have no goddamn manners.
On the subject of creativity and drugs, I dunno about anything else, but I can say that I definitely make better electronic music thanks to weed. When I started out, I used to do incredibly simplistic arrangements: drums and a couple of synth-lines, maybe a few samples. Then, I got high one time and some Neuroticfish came on my MP3, and I actually listened to it properly, picking up on all the subtle variations in the drums, the multi-layered synthlines, the oscillators and static clouds and half-buried samples driving it along, and realised why everyone elses electronic music was better than mine. I'd just been picking up on the basics, and thus creating a shallow imitation of music. I'm not sure, without weed, that I would have latched on so fast to that, and actually started employing more subtlety and depth.
