What do you like to listen to when you're stoned out of your feckin' gourd?

I feel like there are basically two criteria I look for in music to enjoy when I'm high as fuck, and they usually stands in opposition to one another.

1: I want as much complexity as possible when it comes to texture. I want the music to be pulling my brain in as many different directions as possible and straight up having it's way with it.

2: I want repetition. I want to turn my brain off and let the music fairies take my brain and fly off with it and probably violently sodomise it while I'm not paying attention, but it doesn't really matter because I'm really not claiming ownership of my brain at the moment.



This mostly fits the first criterion. The album in general is a straight up braingasm, and the closing track is absolutely peak as fuck in that regard.



This is similar to the first song I mentioned in that it's a textural masterpiece supported by angelic lead vocals.



Jesus fucking fuck, how did Bach do so much with just a violin? Bach was divinely inspired, and I will accept no arguments on that front.



This album takes you by the hand and leads you to the land of darkness. It's not even my favorite Burzum album (Hvis Lyset Tar Oss shits on it from a great height), but it's so fucking hypnotic
 
Deep Purple's Made in Japan album is a staple for my stoner sessions, I'll usually listen to a couple songs off it when I'm baked.


Even though I don't understand a single word, I really like the sound & feel of Russian folk songs.
I think it meets the complexity & repetition thing since the melody repeats but they keep adding more & more layers each time.




Miles Davis having a jam session and making an album out of it is pretty sweet.

You need some more Bulgarian and Georgian folk music in your life friend.





On that note, I have to say that in the second video the woman with the musical thingamajig is both the most beautiful, and the one with the best voice of the three, but the youngest one is just so fucking charming. She makes me think back to my traveling days, and the kinds of women that were the absolute ruin of me. Like, she could just look up at me with her giant puppy dog eyes and say "take me with you" and I wouldn't have any way to resist, and she'd eventually steal my sleeping bag and most of my money.
 
I first discovered Beach Fossils when I first started using weed so for me they're always connected to the feeling of getting high, but I think they're perfect for it regardless





 
Tend to enjoy more instrumental, repetitive, and electronic stuff when I am high. Simpler stuff overall.

I have to admit that Bulgarian music is a bit hard to get into, it is undoubtedly beautiful music, I just need more time to figure it out more and really appreciate it.

Georgian music was something my daughter introduced me to, she's a dancer and watches a ton of ballet & folk dances on youtube, which was how we ended up watching Georgian dances together and finding out about their music.

I don't smoke weed anymore but I feel like this would meet the description of what you like (also maybe my favourite version of maybe my favourite song).

I want Kaval Sviri to be my death song. When the skies open and Kaval Sviri flows with a heavenly roar, I'll know the end is here.
 
70's and 80's metal for me.

This is my kick off song. Usually followed with something from Ronnie James Dio. Or maybe a little Meatloaf.

I've never really listened to Deep Purple, but I'm going back throught their catalogue, and I'm really liking it.

If you haven't watched this, I highly recommend you do.

Repetitive is nice, even better if there's a live version
