Pretty much any music I like. I can find cool things in that when I'm sober, so when I'm high, it's even better. :)
I love to listen to Pavement when I'm stoned. It's like Stephen Malkmus and I are on the same wavelength, man.

Post by: Dimmukane on 06 May 2009, 15:21
Agalloch - (see Fire Above, Ice Below, Falling Snow, Our Fortress Is Burning...III - Bloodbirds [this is one super droney track of awesome])
Baroness - (see Son of Sun, Vision, Wailing Wintry Wind)
Black Moth Super Rainbow (see Vietcaterpillar, I Think It Is Beautiful You Are 256 Colors Too, Falling Through A Field, Colorful Nickels ok just check out the Falling Through A Field and Dandelion Gum albums, they have most of the good songs)
Boards of Canada (see Everything You Do Is A Balloon, Roygbiv, Turqoise Hexagonal Sun, Dayvan Cowboy)
Bongzilla (see their Amerijaunican album)
Brightblack Morning Light (see their s/t)
Colour Haze - their s/t, Tempel, and All are really good - (see Peace, Brothers & Sisters!, Love, Moon, Lights, Fire, Tempel, Gold and Silver)
Dead Meadow - their s/t and Old Growth are my favorites (see Sleepy Silver Door [SO GOOD], but everything on their s/t is gold, 'Till Kingdom Come, Seven Seers)
DJ Frane - (see Thought Seeds, The Impossible Dream)
God Is An Astronaut (See Fireflies and Empty Skies, Zodiac)
Grails - Burning Off Impurities and Doomsayer's Holiday are my favorites, there are no weak tracks on either of those
Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun & Welcom To Sky Valley - (see 50 Million Year Trip, Green Machine, Asteroid, Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop, Space Cadet, Demon Cleaner, Whitewater)
Moccasin - Last Leaf - (see Ezra's Ghost [UGHHHH], RTF, Tudor Moon, Last Leaf)
Mountains In The Sky - (see Stealing Through, Noah's Arkestra, The Snowcapped Incident)
The Octopus Project
Thumlock
Titan - (see all of their tracks, they only have 4)

Bolded ones are important.  I've deliberately left out quite a few because I don't want to list half of my music library.

And generally whatever Scandinavian War Machine (and onewheelwizzard whenever he gets in here) recommends.

Go look for this stuff in the mediaf!re thread, most of it will probably still be there.

Bros by Panda Bear

And basically every single Explosions in the Sky track ever.

I remember listening through the Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place while super stoned and slowly driving through the Point Defiance Five Mile Drive at midnight with a friend and it was basically super sublime.

Post by: imapiratearg on 06 May 2009, 17:04
Oh man, pretty much anything.  Some favorites:

I tend to gravitate towards anything with Stephen Malkmus in it for some reason.  Particularly Pavement's Wowee Zowee and his self-titled.
Akron/Family - S/T or Love Is Simple ("Sorrow Boy" when time-distortingly high is crazy.)
Of Montreal
The Olivia Tremor Control
Galaxie 500
Bob Marley & the Wailers - Exodus
Silkworm
Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground
Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On
Yo La Tengo

The Dark Is the Night compilation is also pretty bitchin' to listen to when stoned.

Q-Unit, it's the mash up of 50 cent and Queen.
normally I can't stand 50 cent but the mash up album is pretty legit. me and a few friends rolled around in a Lincoln town car all day smoking and listening to this album, and we all agreed it was pretty good smoking music.

I remember listening to Infected Mushroom - Viscious Delicious once whilst baked.
It was ridiculous, there's climax that seems to go on forever, and you feel like it'll never get there. But it does.
My friend and I once connected both our Ipods to a set of speakers and played multiple songs together. It was genius at the time, but we tried it later, and it was kind of rubbish.

I dunno, reggae has never really struck me as smoking music, despite all of the obvious parallels.  It feels too empty most of the time, like the reverb is really weak or something.

Post by: Dimmukane on 07 May 2009, 18:03
Yeah, but dubstep and reggae are both something of a niche, you gotta admit.  I still cannot get into dubstep no matter how hard I try (which isn't very hard, but I fail to see what's so attractive about it.  It's got really low bass and a musique concrete thing going on?  I couldn't even get through a Bassnectar record...)

Post by: onewheelwizzard on 07 May 2009, 18:35
You're up in your head, trying to listen to gut music.  Heavy-bass electronica like Bassnectar and dubstep is about feeling the music hit you in the abdomen rather than the eardrums.  Personally I'm such a bass junkie that I listen to the stuff in my free time too, but it's really about letting a massive bank of subwoofers push low frequencies through your body until you need to dance just to keep the vibration from making you uncomfortable.

For some reason this goes really really well with smoking weed, in my experience.

Try this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm0v7Q5WcZY) and see how it treats you.

@Caspian: I'm curious, what do you think of this track? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp9n8eXUWZE)

Oh wait I lied there is a shit ton of events in abandoned warehouse spaces in Brooklyn and the like that I get invited to on Facebook on a regular basis through various circles that I move in (including CoSM and people associated with Newmindspace). I was thinking of massive, outdoor acid house-era raves with live soundsystems.

Post by: sean on 07 May 2009, 18:59
man i need to find some raves in dc. im sure there are some great ones, i just don't know where they are. i should ask the dudes in capitol hemp.

i find when i'm stoned, really anything sounds fucking spectacular. i spun saetia once and it was incredible. however i think the best song i've listened to stoned is 1978 by Do Make Say Think. Oh dear god, the jazzy bass in that song. holy shit.
Title: Re: Favorite songs to listen to while stoned.
Post by: Dimmukane on 07 May 2009, 19:03
That had a lot more of a trip-hop vibe to it, so it's easier to listen to.  But heavy bass alone won't make me dance, I can't listen to music that's all low/mid/high frequency, I need variation.  That song works, because there's a mid-range melody to go along with it, but a lot of the dubstep out there seems to be just bass and not much else.


As far as outdoor stuff goes, Gene, you'd probably have to look for upcoming festivals and whatnot.  In Baltimore every June there's Starscape, which usually features The Disco Biscuits, a rave tent, a dubstep stage, and FUCKTONS of drugs.  If my shithole has at least one big shindig every summer, your shithole probably has at least 10.
Title: Re: Favorite songs to listen to while stoned.
Post by: onewheelwizzard on 07 May 2009, 19:10
Actually the Baltimore rave scene is one of the biggest on the East Coast if I'm not mistaken.  I run into Baltimore kids ALL THE TIME up here in Philly.  They have mixed things to say about it ... the impression I get is that the scene is less about the spirituality and community aspects of raves and more about excessive drug abuse.  CosM in NYC is on basically the opposite pole of the spectrum ... VERY heavily centered on spirituality and community.  Philly's scene has elements of both, but it's not quite as big or as organized as either.
Title: Re: Favorite songs to listen to while stoned.
Post by: Dimmukane on 07 May 2009, 19:31
The reason for the drugs down here, as I see it, is that raves are the only place you can get a lot of stuff (at least if you're coming in from the suburbs).  Particularly hallucinogens and dissociatives.  I went to Starscape once, picked up some acid because I hadn't been able to find any for a couple months, and a few good E pills.  Only smoked while I was there, I came to pick up drugs and watch the show rather than ingest.  It was also a birthday present for a friend of mine, who candyflipped like all hell.  He had a hit of each, and then some dude gave him a tenstrip that he ate half of.
Title: Re: Favorite songs to listen to while stoned.
Post by: onewheelwizzard on 07 May 2009, 19:40
Christ, I hope he was still having a good time after the pill wore off.  That's a LOT of acid.

Anyway ... back on topic.

This is a really great song to listen to when you're stoned (and another reason why you can find some pretty awesome stuff if you let yourself get a couple degrees of separation away from reggae):

Post by: A Wet Helmet on 08 May 2009, 23:56
I don't smoke weed.   Don't care if anyone else does, but it's not my thing.

Hell, I don't drink anymore either.   I almost feel as though I should insert the obligatory joke about I don't drink any less..., but seriously... I'm basically an unintentional straight edge.

I am, however, a chronic pain sufferer.   Years of abusing my body physically started catching up with me in my mid-twenties, and it's only getting worse with age.  Now I basically get to spend every day for the rest of my life in pain.  This isn't a pity party on my part, just an explanation of what's coming.

The vast majority of days I either just get on with life or maybe take some over the counter pain medicine to take the edge off the ouch.  Some days however, I have really bad days, and for that, the doctor makes sure that I always have a bottle of Vicodin.  The problem with taking that, however, is that I absolutely cannot sleep when I've taken it.  So I will usually just put my iPod on and lay there listening to music for hours.

I get really into the music when I'm high on the meds and spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing on the music, so I like things that are fairly complex.  Especially if they have a lot of less-than-common instruments in it.  To that end, Billy Joel can be really good when I'm buzzing.  Mandolins, horns, and pianos.

I also like really old ska.  Not the crap they called ska in the nineties, (with the exception of Mephiskapheles!  Love those guys) but everything from Desmond Dekker to The Selecter.   I love brass.

Soul, funk, and motown.  Hells yeah.  A great funk band that nobody every heard of that I used to go see like once a week in college:   Punkinhead!  http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=489943 (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=489943)

Eddie Hazel.  Anything by Eddie Hazel, either in funkadellic or his solo stuff.  People should have little shrines in their house dedicated to that guy.

I also have a playlist that consists of Opeth's mellow stuff and some selections from Porcupine Tree that has been played a few times while laying awake all night.  Of course, I do a fair bit of jazz listening too.  Mostly stuff with good horns sections.  And fuck smooth jazz.  If I wanted to listen to that, I'd just ride an elevator.   I know a lot of Miles Davis gets shared around here, but I don't recall seeing any Chet Baker.  Check him out.  And for saxaphone, try Pharoh Sanders.   

Alright, I hope that gives y'all a few ideas.  I imagine the overall mood of being 'into' the music is about the same, whether you're smoking herb or taking meds.   :)

If any of those names are misspelled it is because I copied them directly from the post.

I have been stoned ten times in life, and rarely listen to music while being in such a state. However, getting stoned to the last Tom Waits album, then sobering up to some Wu-Tang Clan was pretty majestic. Especially the former.

I've recently fallen hard for Basshunter. A friend of a friend turned me on to that and it fucking rocks!
However it does require a strobe light for the room, which may or may not freak some out.
and btw if you suffer from such chronic pain, maybe you should consider the only legal option on this thread, medical cannabis or THC pills. all would be prescribed from a physician and legal. maybe not in your state but check.
and hey if it would help, do it.
just a suggestion.

Buckethead, whether its his heaviest of metal licks or the dark ambient of Death Cube K albums, he is a fucking winner.
Fantomas, damn that music is a mindfuck. SOO GOOD

Hmm, lets see. Pretty much anything by The Field, Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva, Down in a Rabbit Hole by Bright Eyes, Pink Floyd, George Harrison, Thievery Corporation. That's all I can think of, I don't get stoned too often.

I also remember that country music is more enjoyable while stoned. My friend was playing Our Song by Taylor Swift once and I was surprised how enjoyable it was.

on the scott walker thing i seem to vaguely remember listening to 30 Century Man multiple times on repeat with a group of people.
Atmosphere
Eminem
Pharcyde
Dresden Dolls
Placebo
The Velvet Underground
White Zombie (very loud when i feel everyone whose smoking is too much of a hippie)

and i really think one of the best is The White Stripes.
not so much on one of those "ive-been-high-for-a-week-or-4-im-so-miserably-burnt" deals. but get a good "post 2+week break" high going. with the GOOD stuff. and for some reason they just work for me. very lalalala positive.

I think of Wilco every time I get stoned.  I listen to "Must Be High" and "I Got You (At the End of the Century)" for kicks.  Great stuff to toke up to.

We're two pages into it; I think if it took this long for anyone to notice and/or find it necessary to bring this fact to the thread's attention, it's going okay/going to be okay.

Occasionally when I am stoned I get a taste for T.Rex, particularly Electric Warrior.

German TV has an extra Show for that. Every night right after midnight. Called "Space Night Earthviews". Showing Pictures from Earth moving under some Satellites view or computer animated pictures and they play anything from Led Zep up to that mellow kind of "Elevator Music Style Techno" or Freejazz with Xylophones (Bands are J.F.C, Aural Float, Nils Wülker, The Sushi Club et al). The show is the "filler" for 3-4 channels until 6 AM in the morning.

Examples are to be found on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsYBZYvCfoA

That even beats "chilling" to Bob Ross.

The Further Adventures of Lord Quas- Quasimoto

Bitches Brew- Miles Davis

Skeletal Lamping- of Montreal

MM..Food?- MF Doom

red hot chili peppers also works for the occasion.
