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.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #8 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.

Wasteroo · « **Reply #10 on:** 06 May 2009, 15:34 »

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.

I listened to Lightning Bolt last time, that seemed pretty interesting.

jesu, sleep, the angelic process and nadja <-- particularly nadja, the over the top layering sounds so awesome when stoned

A Shoggoth on the Roof · « **Reply #14 on:** 06 May 2009, 16:33 »

Scandinavian War Machine and Dimmukane are both so right.
Also, I have had fun listening to Jesu while baked.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #15 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.

ledhendrix · « **Reply #16 on:** 06 May 2009, 17:08 »

Ratatat - Nostrand

It just builds up and builds up and then hits a climax. Amazing when you're stoned.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #17 on:** 06 May 2009, 19:56 »

Oh, you want SONGS. Lemme go back and edit that post, then.

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.

DJ Krush is probably one of my favorites whilst high.

best thing I've listened to while stoned was Monster Magnet's 25..........Tab EP.

Fu Manchu, Kyuss, Portishead, Air.

There is always that one guy who wants to put on Radiohead when I'm high and I want to kill that guy. Don't be that guy, guys.

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #29 on:** 07 May 2009, 13:45 »

I think this is a great idea.

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #33 on:** 07 May 2009, 16:05 »

This is a great idea! I will do this someday.

I will try to refrain from just putting up the longest song by each band, even though that is kind of what I want to do.

Johnny C · « **Reply #34 on:** 07 May 2009, 16:07 »

also how is the answer not more stuff like this

Dimmukane · « **Reply #35 on:** 07 May 2009, 16:10 »

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.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #36 on:** 07 May 2009, 16:14 »

reggae music kind of sucks.

man, the new Black Moth Super Rainbow record is pretty fucking awesome. the first couple of tracks are kind of meh but "Iron Lemonade" and everything after it is brilliant. i just preordered the limited edition hairy case version from their website. the cd case is actually hairy! wow!

iron lemonade...washed my friends away

Yeah, I'm waiting for exams to be over, buying a ton (not actually) and listening to music during the day and doing other fun things at night whilst also dedicating a day to making an album, and oooh I have so many plans for fun things.

Man, this thread made me all happy and excited about the future.

Basically what I am saying is that there's some respect due to Jamaica even if it's just for the influence

Like, a lot

Dimmukane · « **Reply #44 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...)

Caspian · « **Reply #45 on:** 07 May 2009, 18:15 »

what did the two rastas say when they ran out of weed?

How long have we been listening to this shit music for?

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #46 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 and see how it treats you.

@Caspian: I'm curious, what do you think of this track?

Ballard · « **Reply #47 on:** 07 May 2009, 18:47 »

That is something I'd never thought about before. It sounds a little uncomfortable but also really enjoyable and I'd like to try it.

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.
