I listen to a lot of songs when I’m sad, One More Light is a good one and Someone You Loved can make me cry
Music to take drugs to...
-
DON'T pretend you're a square, in the employ of The Man ...give me your best music / muzak to get high to. Ideally, I want to find a piece of music that's so POTENT that I don't even need an acid tab, or a mushroom, and I'll hear it and just start floating round the ceiling, and my co-workers will have to bring me down with a lasso.
-
@Indrid-Cold Velvet Underground & Nico is really good to take drugs too, especially Venus in furs, Heroine and All tomorrow's parties. You can try some stuff of the Beatles too(I am the walrus,Revoulution 9)
-
@MAXXMUSIC Good call. You're talking about that Velvet Underground album with the banana on the cover, right? Such strong riffs. And wasn't Nico going out with Lou Reed at one point? You can hear the influence.
-
@Indrid-Cold thank you
-
Yes the banana cover woth the Andy Warhol subtitle. Yes, Nico is so special with her accent and singing style.
-
@Indrid-Cold This was my go-to tune, back in the day. Also, this single's B-side Walk The Dog.
-
@MAXXMUSIC I enjoyed Japan's cover of All Tomorrow's Parties. That was good to listen to while UTI. And I agree with your some of The Beatles comment. Say...'66 on to about '68.
-
@Indrid-Cold Just some trippy late '60s style psychedelia from the band XTC's alter ego. Most, if not all of what The Dukes put out was fantastic, whether listening high, or not

-
@Lazz YES GOOD CALL. I love Laurie Anderson because she's nuts. It's like, Bjork wishes she could be Laurie Anderson. The only singer who can match Laurie Anderson for being nuts is Hildegard Knef, maybe.
-
I love Laurie too. She's a kinda ... controlled kind of nuts. Not, like, NUTS nuts.
-
Brian Eno's Music for Installations is pretty good. It's very long, too. I like listening to it when working on a picture. It might be too laid-back for getting stoned to, though.

@Alfalfa said in Music to take drugs to...:

You're right. Probably if you want some Eno music with some tempo, that's thought-provoking, go for his collaborations with David Byrne or Bowie isn't it.
-
@Indrid-Cold Yes, Byrne, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Great album.
-
Oh and of course the Eno Bowie albums. I reckon Eno needs a tempering hand, otherwise he gets a bit indulgent.
-
@Alfalfa That's what I was thinking. The use of samples is so much like when you're in hypnogogic state before sleep proper.
-
@Alfalfa Yup yup yup. I seem to remember one time he was on about investing a machine that generated minimalist music using an crazily simple algorithm. I dunno. Maybe.
-
I didn't know that, but it wouldn't surprise me. I guess he likes to take things to the limit.
-
@Indrid-Cold this music is kind of dark depression thingy. I just felt like dumped to the unknown place with nobody around like i am all alone. This is not about music to take drug, may be drugs for some people can lend your issue and forget for whatever your pain in that time, but this is not a drug music. This is depression music
-
@Indrid-Cold Time to pretend - MGMT. infact all of their songs are trippy.
Loser - Beck.
Low - cracker.
Doin' time - sublime.
Paper planes - MIA
