Die Antwoord Documentary on Amazon Prime.
ZEF. Just fuckin’ watch it.
Yeah. They got pointlessly cancelled for some utter bullshit. Too many morons on Twitter who believe literally anything and everything they are spoonfed, by other morons on Twitter.
Must be true 🤣
TLDR. They adopted this kid, looked after him. Took him in. He turned around and basically blackmailed them on YouTube. Trying to get drug money out of them… also. Ninja was spuriously accused of sexual harrassment. He also shouted some homophobia at some band at a festival in the heat of the moment. By actual accounts the singer in that band was behaving like a complete jerk… nobody ever mentions the context though, do they?
Their producer, DJ Hi-Tek (God) is none more gay. 😁
If you know Die Antwoord. Really know them, and what they stand for, you’ll know this is spurious. At best.
The South African gutter press have always had it in for them.
This is a great doc. Sorry. Biggy won’t let me post web links. So here’s the trailer.
https://youtu.be/KwQl3mGVyDw?si=S7vZHvI9vSGS7bWl
Properly original vision these artists have. Ballan/Lynch/Diane Arbus - I could give a shit about the allegations. They are just that.
You can’t make great art without breaking a few sensibilities, frankly, and I’m glad they are back in the game.
Watch the doc and make up your own mind about them. One of the most original punk rock acts in the last 15 years. That’s pretty hard to deny. Even if you are an Xtard, social media sheep, who just gets worked up over any old bullshit they read.
They comport themselves with real dignity and honesty in this documentary and I’m looking forward to their London show.
So happy they are back.
True originals and if they are good enough for Flea. They are good enough for me.
Consummate artists.

Saw them live in Birmingham a few years back, amazing night!

Mate! We used to listen to their ‘like a Ninja’ song as teens and get freaked out by their crazy music videos. Then when I turned 18 guess who I saw in a club on my first ever trip to Amsterdam?! Yolandi
and Ninja in the flesh!!! No one else knew who they were but I ran over like an uber fan. I’m sure I made their night 😂

Fishbone. Great to see live. Norwood influenced Flea from the Chilli Peppers on the Bass. Ecelectic mix of Ska,Funk and metal
Listening to the words in my head I can't wait to open this next goody bag. The next lucky dip coming my way !
Anything by Elton John fucking hate the cunt and his music, my wife ruined my Xmas day few years back by telling me a gay singer i didnt like had died.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.
and i feel better about myself, you know plotting his murder and all. george michael on the other hand was a genius and worth a quickie in the facility of his choosing
Hahahaha, I actually like Elton, well as much as a straight man can but that made me laugh man.
Tiny Dancer and Rocket Man are OK songs. Other than that Elton John is soooooo overrated.
Fairground simply red, gives me violent thoughts of grabbing mick by his flowing red curls and bouncing his head of every hard surface available. Total pissflap
Yeah anything by Simply Red can give me Forrest Whittaker eye but Fairground is especially bad
And imagine being called Eileen when it came on down the pub back in the day…. Poor cow needed 3 packs of baby wipes.
Too many but Will Smith - Wild Wild West has got to be up there surely. It’s like some record execs put a gun to his head and said ‘Dance bitch!’
Do you think they did it again to willow ? I whip my hair even for a 13 year old was fucking awful
that movie had so much going for it and they still blew it, would make a better series than a lot of shit
Nothing Compares to You by Sinead Depressing Cunt O'Connor that song has the warmth and charm of a dead Rat lying next to a used Tampon.
That Barbie girl tune, need I say why! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
Ok you win… The grandma I love you song was fucking horrendous, then they felt the need to create the sequel… Grandpa I love you… I mean we got the message the first time.
Lol. She is a liar too, when that Leo chap drowned in the ice, his heart certainly didn’t go on….
Watch this with your sound on, and I think you will agree no further explanation is required.
Bruno Mars.
"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are"
My question is - how many faces did he previously change to suit his needs. He's amazed he found someone who's face doesn't need rearranging. This man is a psycho folks.

Keane - Bedshaped.
Stupid, depressing lyrics that make no sense at all.
Bedshaped? That'll be a bed then...
I hate it because it reminds me of the two weeks I spent crawling around a 20 inch deep subfloor void for 8 hours a day, doing timber treatments on a huge old house.
That shit was on the radio every 20 mins for the whole time we were there.
Scarred me 🙉

If you really want a contender for worst song, you need to listen to Taylor Swift Gorgeous. The song composition and the lyrics seem like they were written by a child.
Also majority of her songs. She did a cover of September by earth wind and fire that haunts me... She turned funk into folk what the actual fuck.
hahaha.. funny to see Zeppelin here because it did occur to me too . Seems like everybody has to adore their music :P
I forgot all about this,Hey plenty of Zepp stuff is fine but that song really gets my goat the first time i heard it i never knew who it was my missus had been putting cd's in the laptop and they kept getting synched to my ipod it came on random one day and i just went wtf is this shit before looking who it was, it sounds to me like a holiday camp band doing reggae.
All musicians steal mate and say they were inspired. A lot of that era were the same. Keith Richards does it. Don’t think that takes away from them as musicians.
Cool, mine too. Sometimes I feel like the great Alan in your photo speaking to younger people. AHA. I was sick with laughter when he got hit with a cow. Steve coogans characters are genius. All the way back to the calf family
as a punk i was always compelled to hate led zep, it was a mistake, i still hate most classic rock still (with merit now) but these guys were really in a class by themselves.
I’m too nice to downvote as maybe that’s how you feel but seriously? The band who gave us in my time of dying can never be fuckin awful.

The Last Rock Band?
I've said before that Foo Fighters are one of the last true mainstream, longstanding, "Rock Bands" that maintain the rock spirit
Short lived bands are still making good rock music (GVF a good shout), but the days of Rock Gods are gone....
Short lived bands are still making good rock music (GVF a good shout), but the days of Rock Gods are gone....
I always enjoy telling them that i saw Dave Grohl drumming for Scream before he joined Nirvana.
Rock music is still alive and well, its just not as popular as it used to be. It isnt dangerous and exciting to young people any more, rap/hiphop has taken its place in that regard...
It sucks Greta Van Fleet are the only example being brought up here though, to me they are highly derivative and not really doing anything new.... Check out Clutch, Steven Wilson, Opeth, Graveyard, Lake Street Dive, Menzingers, The Hold Steady, Elephant Tree, Creeper - all great artists making interesting music. And hey there are still SOME big bands, like Biffy Clyro, Foals and Queens of the Stoneage doing pretty cool stuff!

My neighbors love Clutch and now all their windows are broken I can hear the lyrics better.
Steve Wilson is a fantastically talented musician, however he's also a mahoosive elitest plonker who for a very long time wouldn't release music on streaming services due to it being "digital" and lower quality and therefore not the experience he wanted for his listener base. He has since changed his stance on this but it along with some really awful interviews he did make me unable to listen to his music (knowingly)
Anyhow I felt like sharing that for no real reason

Haha same goes for Tool... I'm a fan but yeah he definitely has an air of pretentiousness! Seems to go hand in hand with prog rock xD
Creeper❤️
Think a lot of people (Myself included) are just stuck in the last, like what they like & find it difficult to get into new music

Rival Sons are worth a listen if you’re looking for old school retro/Zep type sounds with their own twist. The singer Jay has an immense voice
They are after the last, like a symphony orchestra playing the same shit centuries later. But they do fucking rock.
Currently keeping the flame burning for me are Fat White Family, Gnod, Hey Colossus, Gilla Band amongst others.
The bands that had someone die in them,there proper bands,basically they don’t give a fuck about themselves all they want to do is create great music,jimi Hendrix,the doors,Janis Joplin,AC/DC with Bon Scott,nirvana,Amy winehouse but to name a few,people will always disagree though.
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

You are one "L" away from the same name as a southern rock band! Rock seemed to eat its babies over the last decade or two. Too many old rockers raging at the dying of the light while clutching a new remaster of Physical Graffiti and demanding to know why there is no good new music anymore (there was, you didnt support it).
For me no matter how many bands I listen too I always end up back with the classics , floyd , the who, zeppelin, sabbath the doors etc it’s like a warm bath after work just slip straight in! Lol
Kings of Leon
Foo Fighters
Libertines
Oasis
Guitar music will make a comeback. The ‘urban’ wallpaper crap will die at some point. Think Glastonbury this year proved that rock still draws the crowds but it isn’t woke (which is why i love it).

Last album that got you excited!
Strange one for me, I love my music and from teens to 30s savoured everything then I hit a dull patch and nothing! In 2018 someone sent me a link to marabou states album kingdoms in colour and I loved it , musically brilliant and well produced . My tastes vary from old school rock to chilled stuff Kruder and Dorfmeister , DnB , Jazz . I found this album so exciting and good!! Sadly since 2018 haven’t found anything that excited me
"Overmono" have been killing it for me over the last year or so. They are worth checking out.....
Its because Simon Cowell the living incarnation of the anti-christ ruined the music industry. I got into NWOBHM. New wave of British heavy metal. I saw Saxon supporting Rainbow and the crowd were still calling for Saxon after Rainbow set. Blackmore fired them as the support band. Thats the only time I have seen the support band blow the headline band away.
This was circa 1980 which was a year for metal. You also had the sunset strip bands. There seemed to be a new band every month. Then there was the rave scene I got into because of the parties.
The last band that made me go I have to get an album was System of a Down Mesmerize the track BYOB Bring your own bomb. Its now a band every 10 years or so.
You think its you getting old but its not. I teach music and check out new stuff regularly and nothing moves me if I can hear who they are copying. There doesnt seem to be as many up and comming bands around.

Ratpack - Searchin' For My Rizla
I remember! I tried copying the lyrics to the MC at my local youth club disco !. I was king for a day ☀️😂🤩
Anyone have rave flyers stuck on the wall with blu tac. I had my whole room covered. Fantazia dreamscape and lots of sterns which always had a pun or a rip off of a brand on the front "never mind the bollox, here's interdance!"

Where are today’s protest singers?
Just listening to gill Scott herons first album ‘a new black poet’ , he still has the power to shock.who are today’s protest singers.
Is urban rap and hip hop, choose your genre, the new protest platform. Or is it just a mysoginist, homophobic, violent twisted reflection of city life from those excluded from the mainstream.
Is stormsy the new urban Dylan.?

There is still a pretty decent punk scene out there. (or was before the pandemic)Human Project, Random Hand, SB6, Crazy Arm- all inherently political. Solo artists- Babar Luck, Chris TT, Prolefeed, Carol Hodge.
personal fave on my rotation at the minute would be ‘the hunstman comes a marching’ chris tt. Check it out!

IDLES are pretty spot on politically and that shows in their lyrics! ‘The only way to scare a Tory is to read and get rich’.
Don't want to start a war between them but... Dave > Stormzy :P
edit - don't know whats going on with lb but this post went wacky, anyway jokes aside Dave actually deserves a little shout in this. The live performance of Black was really invoking and things like Question Time and Children of the Internet will appeal to any stoned thinker haha :) - at least the UK scene isn't just kids dying on cough medicine after one youtube hit, wtf happened to America?!

Bob Vylan are a great UK act not getting enough attention
https://youtu.be/ckf5Awk4fuU?si=2goqti20l5Wl2mEc
This has one of the greatest lyrics lines of any song ever written imo
"No liberal lefty cunt
Is gonna tell me punching Nazis ain't the way"

You've got a lot to choose from in metal.
Check out some of the following:
Body Count: Black Hoodie
Body Count: No Lives Matter
Lamb of God: Poison Dream
Lamb of God: Now you've got something to die for
Dead Label: Dystopian Complex
Lock Horns: Blood and Oil
Gojira: Silvera
And I know this is basically a pisstake, but Dethklok Detharmonic in on point.

I'd say for this definitely Run The Jewels. Akala is still about as well. Immortal technique is meant to be releasing a new album soon. I don't think we will see the likes of a band like RATM again for sometime
Left a RATM gig with cracked rib from the most hectic mosh pit I’ve ever known, mega fun. Second best mosh was the Pogues in 88.
I saw someone with there arm twisted the wrong way being carried out of a RATM set. Reading 96' I believe. Great set, terrifying moshpit.. Did it anyway though. Fun times.
I agree the power of the music to inform and protest is lost, but straight of the gate, you have macklemore Hinds Hall (this came out of nowhere!). Whatever your position on the conflict (or the tune) it sums up what the issue is. Bands are commodities and businesses know they can be used to influence, so they invest heavily. And if you don't tow the line then your out!
I forgot Public Enemy are still going strong.
I think they cornered the market in the American black protest field fighting fire with fire to show the other side of the American nightmare.

Protest the Hero + Show Me the Body are two bands that spring to mind. These are certainly not protest artists sonically, as they are both heavier guitar bands, but are both aggressively anti-establishment, discussing topics you won’t hear other artists sing about.
Unfortunately he grew up and joined new labour.
Saw him live at least dozen times, used to do loads of small gigs and protests. I was in socialist workers party and he was doing loads of fundraisers for the miners.

Just as much intolerance on the left as on the right. We live in a shallow social media driven world. In which we all eat consume far too much whilst slowly killing ourselves and the planet. Facebook, mcdonald's,nike etc. It's a shallow,plastic world and that's not a suitable environment for growing protest singers.
Sort of agree, unfortunately the mass media (particularly print media) are owned run by right wing, ie Sun, times, telegraph etc
The BBC, THe Guardian Newspaper, Channel 4, ITV to name a few left wing media outlets.
And for the BBC to be so biased is a disgrace just look at the stats over 14% LBGTQ within there workforce as opposed to 0.4% in most other organisations massively disproportionate.
Also the mainstream media seems to love to demonise the working classes.
The white indegoius male is despised by the main stream media especially the BBC.
All I do know is before all this WOKE nonsense started we had not been at this much level of war activity since the second World War and now look at all this mess.
Weak leftist policies have risked our safety and security to the point where I worry about my relatives safety in the UK and have also made us a target from forces that want to destroy us.
You need only look at who was the London mayor best mate at UNi for example ? None other than the leader of Albasha terror GROUP. and if that does not worry you to realise that if all this wokey business continues there won't be no western songs ti sing no more because they will be banned.
I remember the cold War, I remember living in the troubles and feeling and hearing the sounds of cemtex around me and going through the checkpoints. I talk from experience and no the real dangers that all this liberal far left nonsense brings as I have lived and breathed this shit before.

"The perceived partiality of the BBC comes from both sides of the political spectrum. Of the people in the YouGov survey who identified as supporting the Conservatives, 15% thought the BBC is generally a little more favourable towards the left and 23% thought they were much more favourable. Conversely, 26% of those who identified as supporting Labour thought the BBC is generally a little more favourable to the right and 20% thought they were much more favourable."

I blame the growing influence of the network - attentions turning inwards as the younger generation start living in the fantasy of the online world. I showed my teenage step daughter the matrix the other day thinking she'd love it - her response "why would anyone choose not to stay in the matrix"!
its a perfect substrate for protest. people have the means and motive.
that's why there is tons of it in rap, singing is as dead as springsteen.

Remember seeing them a couple of times, also at Glastonbury (and maybe Reading 92?). The song I liked most by them was a cover of Public Enemy's '(She Watch) Channel Zero' if memory serves. Think I got a free 7" copy as it was given out at one of the gigs.
Could it have been Reading '94? There was a metal/rap crossover thing going on back then. I used to like messing with people on the street by cranking it up in the car stereo. "What was that? Sounds like that rapping tripe but also that head banging nonsense? I say..."
Probably looked like a right dick but hey, youth and all that...
Probably looked like a right dick but hey, youth and all that...
Yeah, I actually found a gig flyer from 94 buried in my ‘man’ drawer and the last day lists Soundgarden and Special Guests. After the festival I crossed out Soundgarden (didn’t turn up) and put Therapy? in place. I also ticked the bands I could ‘remember’ seeing (Lemonheads has ‘bit’ next to it, actually over exaggerated as can’t recall who, what or how they sound!)
What I find funny is the lack of ticks. Mainly due to Whisky for breakfast each day and copious amounts of weed!
Good festival last week.
What festival?… oh is that when I was shitting in a Pringles tube instead of those godawful sewerage tardis sweat boxes?
Yep, that was it!
Ahhh, those were the days… 🤪

Sorry, never saw this! I must be wrong as I only went to Reading in 92, mainly to see Public Enemy and Nirvana. Never really considered it a "festival", more of a 3 day gig. Must have been Glasto then as I went every year it was on from '85 to '96 when I decided it was no longer a fabulous freak show that they were trying to shut down every year and instead had become an "event" on the social calendar for the middle classes desperately pretending to be bohemians for a weekend and bookable only by credit card. Used to be that the police weren't even allowed on site and they buzzed us with helicopters! Changed days indeed.
Next week on "old man shouts at clouds" listen whilst old punks decry the death of "real music" and call for the death penalty for producers and artists who use auto-tune in every single feckin' one of their 'music as painting-by-number' songs...

wow now i really want a time machine. its funny their stuff sounds like it could be 2000s mash up or even today's post-rap punk revival
Ha! There was lots of stuff like this around in the early/mid nineties and beyond. Tons of great tunes in all sorts of genres fusing, boppin' and giving your noggin' a floggin'. Here's a couple more for you but there are so so many to choose from. Nothin' new under the sun children ;-)
Hi Leviathan
Actually I forgot to mention the elephants in the room (can they both fit? ;-) ) RATM and Red Hot Chilli Peppers!
There even is a wikipedia entry about Rap-Rock:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rap_rock
But then again there is a wikipedia entry about EVERYTHING in the Universe.
Cheers

Hi Ghetto Bikes
That album really was a product of its times which is why it's such a 90s throwback.
Rap-rock was definitely enough of a thing to get named as such in Guitar Player magazine back then.
The Judgement Night oundtrack was mentionned on LB lately but one of my fave was the Dutch band Urban Dance Squad. Also Rollins Band Weight is a classic as well as ICe T's Bodycount plus a few obscure one like this one:

Favourite 2 all time full album’s you listened to over and over again
Favourite 2 all time full album’s you listened to over and over again
I’ll start Dr Dre 2001 and Bob Marley and the wailers.
Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (managed to see them in NYC for Rock The Bells 2010 performing the whole album was a dream comes true) and the second best album for me would be Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
finally someone said Blue Lines. It's odd because in a lot of ways musically I don't rate it highly, it's kind of clumsy in parts, some of the ideas are underdeveloped, some of it almost makes me cringe. But there was just something so special about that time and the sound felt so new and yet familiar. Even though their later stuff is "better" Blue Lines has such a permananet special place in my heart.
Prodigy - Music For Jilted Generation
Leftfield - Leftism
Could list plenty but these 2 are special 😎🥳🤯👽
Leftfield - Leftism
Could list plenty but these 2 are special 😎🥳🤯👽
Leftism is immense. It's been a while, I'm gonna have to fish it out the old collection.
Time well spent. As for The Prodigy, I saw them at Glasto in '95. They were flying high off the back of Music for the Jilted Generation. I vividly remember Keith (RIP) rolling onto the stage in a giant hamster ball. They were awesome. So much energy.
dark side by pink floyd and blonde by frank ocean. i absolutely rinse both year after year :)
Full albums I've actually listened to over and over are "The Wall" & "Graceland"
Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)
Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)
Graceland brings back memories of my mum blasting that album most days when I was a kid
That's how I first heard it too when my mums friend got them the album back in the early 80s)
Tom Waits "Blue Valentine", Ry Cooder "Bop Till You Drop" - honourable mention to Joni Mitchell "Blue", Janis Joplin "Pearl", David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name", and a gazillion others...
I know I’m cheating but I got
Outkast- Aquemini (and stankonia)
Fugees - The Score
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Kanye - MBDTF
Nas- Illmatic

I’m a grump about Ill Communication. It has some great tracks on it. But the jazz filler does nothing for me.
What's going on- Marvin Gaye..almost goes as a mix album the way the songs blend into one another. So relevant to today too.
Another I've played to death over the years is Joni Mitchell- Blue. Just a sublimely chilled album.
Many more, but these two I think I have probably played the most in my lifetime so far

If you don’t know…wake up! 💯❤️
Since my favourite 2 have already been picked by loads of people, I'll go for...
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy
I can safely say that Appetite for Destruction is the album I've listened to the most. Carousel by Subcircus has had well over 20 years love from me as well
Dark Side of the Moon has got to be my first pick. Millionaires by James is great when you've got some sativa running through your system.
The b-side of the sit down single is Live at the Manchester Gmex. On headphones is still the best crowd singing of a song to date.
Never heard Dub Side of the Moon until today- bloody great👍- so big thanks for the heads up!!!
Wow!!!! Just WOW!
Dubside of the moon 🌙
Amazing..... how this has escaped me is beyond me 🤷♂️ I love darkside that much I have the prism tattood on my chest

2 is incredibly difficult, and I can't be the only one with eclectic tastes and a butterfly mind where these will all change regularly anyway. So I'll go with:
Ash - 1977
and
Kent - Hagnesta Hill (available in English and Swedish, so surely I get to choose both?)

"The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd: Released in 1973, this album is considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time. It features a conceptually unified theme and explores various philosophical and existential topics. Tracks like "Money," "Time," and "Us and Them" are widely loved.
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson: Released in 1982, "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time and a cultural phenomenon. It revolutionized pop music, blending various genres and delivering iconic hits such as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller."

Muse - Absolution( regardless if you like the band the story of the end of the world from start to end is amazing!)
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

Dark Side of the Moon, best album ever, bar none. 50 years old this year, same as me!
950 weeks on Billboard 200 chart! 750 of them consecutive!!
Lee 'Scratch" Perry - Open the Gate. Sadly deleted and expensive to buy, but can be downloaded online. 2 CDs of heavyweight 12". Jimmy Cliff got me listening to reggae, this album burnt it into my soul.

This is tough but going on repeats alone I reckon these pip it,
Riding with the king - Clapton and BB King
We're new here - Jamie xx and Gil Scott-Heron

So glad someone has shouted out Jamie xx, amazingly talented music producer the first album with him and his sister The Xx I can’t even guess how many times I’ve listened to it, song 1 known as intro is a work of art. I’m gutted they or he have released so little but sadly he probably earns more producing for other artists who are more mainstream?
Not heard of your other suggestions but will check them out based on your clearly good taste !

There are loads of full albums I’ll listen to…naming just two, well the two most recent ones that spring to mind for me Acid Bath-when the kite string pops and Oasis - definitely maybe not a bad track on either one.
My picks:
The Velvet Underground & Nico - just a classic album. Spaceman 3 "The Perfect Prescription" with an honorable mention for Ode to Street Hassle

Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons. Some friends told me they would bury the album with me, I'd go to sleep listening to it.
Scary Monsters by Bowie, time of life thing for me 'Teenage Wildlife'.

Mrdeeds36, yes it is, blinding track, good to hear from another fan. 'Up the down escalator' is my anthem for a crazy world today.

I adore this period of post punk before brit pop came along and fudged it. IMO lol
Swamp Thing from Strange Times is another brilliant song.

I agree with you.

Hi Mate, Got 'Script of the bridge' playing again this weekend. The album seems more poignant than ever.
Light up and have a good weekend.

Hey bud, I'm well thanks and intend to have a good weekend, it's my bday on Monday so have started early with some very nice and mood lifting Cap Junky, then for some stand up comedy me thinks.
Script of the Bridge will always be applicable to me. Finding some albums feels like finding treasure and it's one of those albums, as is From the lions mouth by The Sound, which if you haven't heard I profoundly recommend. Have a good'n mate and tell me, what are you smoking on matey and have you chonged anything recently with strong euphoric/giggly affects?

Happy Birthday mate.
I will be listening to that recommendation later today.
Smoking 'red apple' Leb, 'apple tart' Maroc hashish and just got some 'Sunset Sherbet' and 'Billy Kimber' bud, all amazing.
Happy birthday. Crispy

Hi Mr, Really liked that album, how did I miss that? Do you like 'sad lovers and giants' and 'and also the trees' ?
Never heard of either band before this shout. I listened to Epic Garden Music this morning on a hike and it's fantastic love the use of the keyboard and you can really hear early elements of shoegaze taking shape on tracks like "Lope" and "ART".. This is a very good band crisp.. Try listening to Soul Mining and Dusk by The The and tell me what you think. Anyway stay cool compadre.
dEUS The Ideal Crash and Pretty Hate Machine NIN. Never tire of those two... There are many more but these two popped out my cheesebox first.
Its an absolute epic album. That bit in Fountain and Fairfax where Happy Chichester's piano wraps around Barb's cello is heaven. Its as good an album as Black Love for sure, some fans prefer it but BL is the GOAT.
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless. Still sounds like nothing else.
…And You Will Know us By The Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes - possibly not the best album ever. But I just love it.
…And You Will Know us By The Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes - possibly not the best album ever. But I just love it.
Hard to pick just 2, and I see a nearly all male list below...so:
Baduizm - Erykah Badu
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
Midtown 120 Blues - DJ Sprinkles (couldn't leave this utter classic out!)

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Cheap Thrills - Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Aqualung - Jethro Tull. Both are extraordinary (to me, anyway) with a good dose of THC.
Just 2 …thats tricky!!
Some have already mentioned primal scream screamadilca. I played underworld dubnobasswithmyheadman a lot as well, but I think I will actually plump for depeche mode violator and u2 Joshua tree, 2 albums that got played a lot and got me through life…

Reading the comments, we’re such a bunch of mixed people here haha (GOOD) I think I saw every genre. I don’t really have 1 album I like but it’s one song from a few if you get me.
For me it's got to be lupe fiasco lasers album deluxe edition. And Hopsin No shame album. Can listen to every song on both and never get bored

Almost as food-related as

In an alternate universe Birds Eye would have got Mr C to be Captain Birdseye and hung an entire ad campaign on that.
I wish I lived there.

The Blue Hour by Mr C is still one of my favourite dance tracks of all time.

Also amazing.

I knew Mr.C. He used to own a club called The End. I got collared with some Mitsubishi's. I was outside and got talking to him and Grooverider. I was going on about World Party to Grooverider as he played a few of our parties. Mr.C was asking why I got thrown out and I was straight with him. I told him I was serving up husteling to get an Access Virus for my studio which made him laugh.

Best British DJ?
RIP Randall, spent many many hours listening to him in 1989 on Centre force, respect ✊🏼 ❤️
I remember Carl Cox doing 3 decks at Sterns nightclub in 92 ! Rat pack were there. Theres Druid, Mr C loads ! In that genre
You could run 10 decks... makes no difference its all for show. Watch DJ Craze and see what running just 2 decks is all about.
Yes he's defo up there aswell. Never had the pleasure of seeing him live. He doesn't seem to do many shows up near me. HC closed the ring one year at beatherder an it blew my mind. I think the copious amounts of drugs helped!
There’s lots of good DnB DJ’s, Calibre is the best producer in my humble opinion. Technically Andy C is in a league of his own, I’ve been following him for over 20 years, he smashes it every time. Recently, his XOYO residencies were next level 🔊🔊 HC is a don too, Racing Green is 👌🏻
As a producer/creator he is unbeatable and way ahead of his time. Not a DJ tho.
he was sooo next level. what a fkn legend
he was sooo next level. what a fkn legend
Such a hard one to answer as DJing crosses so many genres, I’m breaking mine down a bit
Best all rounder - Mr scruff , can start with jazz and end with DnB
DnB - for me LTJ bukem but Goldie a second place
House/Tech - Sasha
Techno - Carl cox
Electronica - aphex twin and also chemical brothers
My favourites are DJs who take you on a journey starting at one place and ending somewhere different!! Big mentions also for me are Alex patterson , steve hillage system 7, DJ yoda , Randall, Fabio , John digweed

Cool album, I really need to listen to more Gong/planet gong and Steve Hillage in general.
Yes man! Only a matter of time before a fellow Ozrics fan chimed in....been with them since tape days, their highs and lows, but Brandi's playing with them heralded a great return to form....esp. "Mooncalf"...and gorgeous to boot :)
Glad to see another here!
Early days eh? I was there at the Crypt in Deptford (still have my membership card) when they only had a couple of tapes :) My mate is a good friend of Ed, and still is, so I've been lucky enough to hang outa few times and share a spliff or several backstage.
Eds released a new album this year, which is well worth a listen - he's still got it!
If you also liked the ullulators, you should really check out what Gavin has been up to too - he has released some amazing stuff lately - check out bandcamp for his stuff.
Take care, fellow old person! :) hehe :)

Cant have psychedelic rock thread and have no Ozric Tentacles? I've righted that wrong! Hope some of you enjoy!
Lucky to see them few times. At a free (illegal) festy at Wycombe common, had several micro dots and thought I was watching floyd circa saucers era, wow, a very colourful memory.
Hi, new member hope you dont mine me Tagging on.
Big fan of these at the moment, very pink floyd

At the drive are my fave ultra loud band, saw Mars Volta twice in Portsmouth, wow brutal gig.
I would love to have seen Mars Volta.. Seen At The Drive in a couple of times. Once at Reading festival a long time ago (think I saw Sparta there aswell), and caught them at Cochella around 2012. Still, loud, mental and awesome.
No idea how far back I'm commenting here. Just wanted to express my solidarity re: ATDI. The summit of early Emo, beyond which lay only death (and Mars Volta).
Saw these guys around Christmas, had a crafty smoke beforehand of course. Fantastic. Heavy as fuck.
Oh man, gotta have that crafty smoke before live music, it’s the only way. Awesome band too.
This is probably my favourite track off the new Lowrider album.
Nice and fuzzy. Happy smoking!
Nice and fuzzy. Happy smoking!
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Nuclear fusion.
Check out the crazy microtonal fret spacing on the guitars!

Haven't spotted any Moon Duo on here yet. Lots of tracks to choose from. And properly intense live too
Oh nice one man, love it. Those down tuned guitars are like the audio version of a heavy Indica haha. Cool video as well, thanks.
I agree mate glad you stumbled across it as well! I love it when I get a comment on one of these songs and I get to listen to them again.. some of them I forget about, it's a nice surprise. :D
Nice, I’m back on the 0.0. So smooth, I just ordered some more.
What you on at the moment?
What you on at the moment?
Heard so many good things about the 0.0, hows the high? Got a little mixture of G13, Guava Dawg and Grape Ape, very sweet flavour to them.
It sounds like you’ve got a sweet shop!
The 0.0 has got a real nice quality to it, it doesn’t send me into space or anything it just gives me a real nice lift that leaves me happily lazy, very hard to leave it alone.

Haha I know, still in awe of all these strains man. Ah that sounds like a lovely little treat indeed.
Adding more Elder to the list,
Their new album is dry, but this 18 minute kraut rock inspired jam from last year's Silver & Gold Sessions is a screaming banger.
Get your smoke on and enjoy biggas!

And for those of you into more proggy sounding stuff From Reykjavik, Iceland. Lucy in blue a fine band to chill to (superb live).
So many good bands on this link, I loved some of the early Monster Magnet and of course Black Sabbath are great. If you haven't heard of Elder they are good. As they've progressed they've really got some mellow flows.
Also, listen to Chowder - Passion Rift album...can't find much on youtube but it's worth getting.
Black sabbath is in my opinion the greatest fucking band ever.
Found these guys recently, sound like the melvins mixed with jimmy hendrix

Love Sabbath and loving Slift too, saw them posted on reddit while back! Increidble ! Prob my fav find of the year so far.
I thought about Gong, Hawkwind and all the possible candidates.
But I think this track by Ash Ra Tempel featuring Timothy Leary is another level.

most embarrassing song in your collection?

That cliff top and billowing clothes! Fuck, I'd forgotten about this too! Add that and Peter Cetera's solo career to my list, and Chicago.
First record I ever bought as 9 year old was T. rex ride a white swan, second was Rolf Harris !
If you want really embarrassing, first ever gig I was 15 and got asked by bunch of friends to go to a cliff richard concert, not a cliff fan but went as fancied a girl. Two songs in realised it was a religious tour, no devil woman tonite.
Still cringe at memory of everyone holding hands and singing allehluya.

I have electric 6s gay bar on vinyl, doesn't represent who I am or even my favourite genre of music, I just think it's a tune. It does raise questions when someone notices it for the 1st time, especially if they've not heard it, because I then feel the need to make them hear it and agree it's a tune
Unbelievably good live. Saw them play a Barfly not long after they'd released that single. Amazing band. Have the album on vinyl.
Jolene - Dolly Parton. Love it.
On other end of my collection is Ready or Not, DJ Hype Remix.
I'd say my record collection is a bit "eclectic"! Haha.;)

I'd say my record collection is a bit "eclectic"! Haha.;)
Cheers BB
Jolene is never embarassing, well at 104db past a funeral precession maybe other than that Jolene is part of every good collection.
I'm told by others that it's this. If it comes on the radio though you are having Tiffany sung at you full blast, possibly slightly out of tune, and I don't care.
Not in my collection per say but definitely listened to it more than I’d like to admit back in the day 😂 who remembers princess superstar bad babysitter😂😂😂
Saw her live about 20ish years ago. Was great. Have a limited edition Frank Kozik poster (photo added) advertising one of her New York shows. Love Kozik's work from around that time. Had an awesome one advertising a show by The Oblivians (if you don't know them, look them up) too, but that's not near mint like the PSS one as it spent a lot of time on walls in various houses.
Fuck, he died in May. 61. No age at all.

When I was 6 the first ever song I bought was Jimmy Somerville, mighty real. In my defence I just liked the cassette art. No excuses however when I purchased the Hamster Song. I was old enough to know better.
I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
Heard the line “Go, walk out the door, don’t turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore” more than a few times in my house, even the kids sing it to me !!!

But to dig me out, recently listen to a mash up mix of Kylie and Danni ...😂

Not so embarrassing but this gets some funny looks when friends have looked through my vinyl collection
Its only on my playlist because I listened to it as a joke, now its on loads :D
Do you know they're actually still doing live performances in Ibiza and shit? Well they were before covid anyway
Where do I start?!
Ivor Cutler... "Goozeberries and Bilberries" (sic) from the Dandruff LP.
Surreal, whimsical, utterly batty but brilliant - which describes his entire output. Hats off to John Peel... time and again.

I found a Nana Mouskouri vinyl in my collection a while ago, it was a plant I didn't buy it, honest.
Wtf even is Aitch? When I was younger there was the Kersal Massive on YouTube, he just reminds me of one of them with his wet sounding voice, dickhead clothes and shit rapping about getting his dick sucked. Bore off mate, you and Sam Wailing Fucker Smith
In short, yes! 60's, 70's and even through to the 90's we dominated and now...it's pretty much garbage, don't even listen to the radio anymore!
Culture is too atomised due to the internet, and the arts in general are increasingly more like a status game for the rich than in the 60s-90s: there are few financial incentives to be a good musician anymore and only the very biggest, well connected, and commercially safest acts can now make a living from music. Plus all the stuff in the vid cloudeater posted.
Shouldn’t need a financial incentive to be good. Not in any hobby. Your either good or your not. This is Gained by natural skills or just brute force hard work. Although that barely matters these days as per the headline of this topic rightly suggesting a low. It’s a yo yo. Electronic / new age is the current theme with low quality and high output. It will go back to guitar rock as soon as the uni students decide that is more cool
Agree if it's just a hobby. If you are going to be a professional musician full time, and are not independently wealthy already, you eventually need to make some kind of a living and pay the rent. And you probably won't get pro-level skills at an instrument/performing/production without being able to put a ton of time into it.
The only solid revenue for musicians these days is touring and merchandise. The income from single & album sales is much lower than it was thanks to mp3 & streaming platforms
Everything is so disposable these days 😪

Redman's epic 2023 beat jacking
Redman out here proving old school heads still bring more heat than most of these new pretenders. Have you seen his beat jacking series this year? Great freestyle flows verses over various borrowed beats.
Redman should be in every hiphop GOAT convo for me, consistent fire for 30 years

I know youre not a fan of combustion but the joint was so good😵💫
I know youre not a fan of combustion but the joint was so good😵💫
Bro im all over this! how is the rosin from KiG? I so wanna load a joint with mimosa flower, rosin and bubble hash all together
BeerBellyBongBoy, Firstly you win "best LB name" award😆
Secondly i'd say the rosin is amazing, so good but the main problem with that joint would be getting it involved, even out of the fridge its tricky to work with, I have mine squeezed flat between some parchment paper and in the freezer so I can chunk off little bits easier, still have to work quick though and still find myself wanting a hot drop tool for it, maybe rolling the rosin in some flower and then into worms would work for joints and bowls🤷🏻♂️
If you figure it out KiG is right, I'm pretty sure that's how you enter The Zest Dimension🍊🚀🌌

getting all that into a joint that actually smokes, might be a tad ambitious. ill see how brave/dumb im feeling on payday. the zest dimension tho? who doesnt wanna visit? 😂
im just imagining the taste now. which is hard, as im vaping a bit of the watermelon zkittles right now

May the Blessings of the Kingdom rest forever in your presence.

The melody, the lyrics, sung perfectly.
I've always adored this tune.
I used to play guitar and sing for 10 years or so, it's a beautiful song to sing, come on now!😁❤️

I'll tell you something tho, the afterglow of a shroom dose is better than a dimitri afterglow.
More than an hour now i'm basking in this (been microdosing dimitri too so that's in the mix but not had any today, will probably hit that soon, up at 5 tho, with the birds.

I am SO sorry it has taken me SO long to respond to this total wonderfulness. Even coming on here gives me bad social anxiety if my head's not right. But, oh my goodness! The way I learned of this was SO excellent. I was tripping at the time, and on the phone to a bigga buddy, totally loved up with my LB buddies, and the conversation went..
Me - how's everyone on LB?
Him - firitffiitdturzu
Me - ohhh!! Tell - so and so I love them!! SOOOO much!!!
Him- OK
Me - do it now PLEASE
Him - OK
Me - asks him to do the same for a few more biggas
Him- mutters something about BB and DMT
Me- oooohhhh! Tell BB I love him!!!
Him- well he's sent some love your way too ( tells me about you posting this tune but doesn't remember what the actual tune was)
Me - oh my god! ( mega excited). You have to remember! Find it and take a screenshot and send it.
Him - it was an Elton John tune
Me - oh :/ .. ( not much of a fan)
Me - BUT - I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVE , I guess that's why they call it the blues. F'in LOVE it.
A few hours later, back on the phone
Me- you haven't sent me the screen shot!
Him- OK I'll do it now, just finding it........ aaand I'm just about to blow your mind..when you see which song it is..
Me - it's not!!!?
Him - yup
Me -( loses it )
And I went off and played it like, sixty bajillion times, and it was F'IN AMAZING!, and had one of the best music tripping experiences ever. Thank you so much 🩷
And re the boxing day thing - doing that afforded me the very best feeling I had over the whole of that shitty Christmas. I felt like I should be thanking you! Made me so happy.
Keep keeping it real BB, you are just so unapologetically you. Always. Totally authentic, and I think you're the bollocks ( even though I am still quite scared of you, haha)

God loves you Fifi!
After 5 extractions through almost as many months i reached enlightenment sp[iritually.
After 5 i also remembered what i i done different in my 1st spirit molecule extraction that gave me an amazing yield like no other.
Looking forwards to my nxt one now.
It knocks you out but doesn't get you high,
opened eyed the spirit world and material co-exist, closed eyed you're in the spirit world, breathing as a human, experiencing life as a soul. in the soul kingdom, the afterlife, the underworld.
being shown living 4 dimensional magic objects of impossible geometry.
It's quite the trip.
I love hearing your posts, take care my good friend.

what current artists will become classic?
If the 2nd Wet Leg album is anywhere near as good as their debut, they'll be talked about and listened to for many years to come.

Drugs are for Losers
Canna and psychedelics is all you need, and even then need is a strong word.
I've been off things around 10 days now, started feeling pretty good already, got a little smoke on the way and also the products to make more spirit molecule pixie dust for some uber vapes.
Honestly if i had to make a choice between weed and pixie dust i'd have to go for the dust.
Weed makes you feel real Bliss, doesn't take you to the land of Bliss tho.
Damn i can't wait to go on another journey been a good few weeks stuck on this damn planet.
Hope you're all doing well my friends, believe in the power of Prayer.❤️✌️

Hi BB
Was waiting for Psychonauts to resurface and am catching up on several threads.
I agree with you, I'm starting to see it the same way: if I had to I'd give up THC and would stick to shrooms & Lucy (mostly microdoses though).
I still have one of Psychonauts Dimitri vape form last year but am keeping it for the right time.
Agreed that need is maybe not the word, food and water (and love) is all you need to stay alive but I always felt that the spirit needs its own food.
And also the picture above: when we went down to the arcade as teenagers we were never as good at the games than when we had a smoke: there was that moment when we were in the zone and we would always end up in the top 10 high scores. Sorry FBI!

There's a great documentary on sky documentaries about the legendary "Big Beach Boutique" beach party on Brighton beach back in 2002. Well worth a watch, especially if you were one of the 250k folk that attended.
There were some mental outdoor parties in the early 2000's
This being one, The Leeds love parade and Glastonbury in 2000 were 2 of my most memorable.
🤩😍🥳

He did a Beach Tour around the country shortly after and I got to see him at Northumbria Uni back in my student days. Will try and have a watch.
We also had Tiesto play Newcastle Uni. Crazy small venue for such a big dj.

I and my buddies were there. Was awesome if absolutely mental. Did quite a lot of outdoor events in those days. Homelands was a classic.
I built the big tents at homelands one year and after the festival someone found a police amnesty box it was insane !! Police just left it in the middle of the field with stuff to be picked up by someone… the site team had the maddest night ever lol

Klaus Schulze: Seth - Pt. 3
Not experienced anything musically as amazing as Bach and Stravinsky. In particular, Brandenburg concerto no.3 movement 3 and Petrushka. The compassion expressed in Bach is like being the heart of god. And Petrushka, a pure delight of the senses.

I'm a jazz cat, started out with hip hop in the early 80's, as I grew and understood the source content more, I got into jazz, funk, soul, disco etc etc. I have stoopid jazz collection at this point, still find new samples every day.
Coltrane's Naima is the song I want to escort me to the next level when the time comes.
Other than the ones we all know and love (Coltrane, Miles, Monk, Grant etc) Paul Desmond's discography has kept me busy recently, love Bobby Hutcherson and Bobby Humphreys. So much jazz so little time

Just remembered how i got turned on to jazz - saw Don Cherrys Nu in Aberdeen in the 90s and i was blown away !
Hi glabazoie
Not a song I know very well but there is a classic version by Julie London with Barney Kessel on guitar (album "Julie Is Her Name").
There is an instrumental version I like a lot because of Grant Green playing a beautiful guitar solo (on the album "All The Gin IS Gone" by Jimmy Forrest).
You can listen to both on Youtube.
I have a few Jazz Standards which I like (and play as a dabbling Jazz guitar player) but they are the usual array: Stella by Starlight, You Go to My Head, Foggy Day In London, How High The Moon and so on but it really depends on the artist.
Also there is a major distinction between instrumental versions and sung versions. I don't think the instrumental versions are as accessible to the casual listener.
Cheers

Band reunions - celebration or desecration?
Case by case basis really. Seen Blur at Wembley recently and they were great. Sometimes it's better though to let things be. Stone Roses also good although those 2 new tracks were bad. Good idea to have not bothered with an album.
My Bloody Valentine. Glad they did it. Never saw them in the day.
Depends on the band I guess. Seeing Sleep do Dopesmoker in full was another highlight.

Sitting here enjoying this track as i think about how LB has made life a bit easier the last few weeks, letting a bong of his Holinesses' Kosher Kush topped with RealD's Gary Iso melt the back of my eyes... yep, much easier!

Goldie Lookin Chain - Soap Bar
Haha love it brung back some memories thanks for that Shroom 😊 being from Wales me and my mates loved Goldie Lookin Chain 😂
Brilliant!! I’ve seen some comments of people talking about good soap bar, now I always thought soap bar was the crap stuff , any memories people have of hash being good it was just good hash ! Soap bar or diesel or gak bar was the rubbish cut stuff, rock hard bits of plastic in it , odd smell and gave you a headache lol
Jesus this brings back memories.. was our groups theme song back when we was 16.
"Soap bars cheap and so's my clothes.. they gotta be cos all the fucking holes"
Good times but don't miss the hot rocks and in no hurry to smoke soap bar again. Lol
Looking forward to trying some of yours just waiting to re-up on some cash 👍😁

Hip Hop is alive!
I am a 80/90s hip hop fan, for a long time hip hop in my eyes has been dead, there have been the few sparks here and there over the past 20 years and the likes of KRS 1, Paris, Dead Prez, Guru (RIP), Public Enemy, Jeru etc. have kept it real with the message and essence of what hip hop represented in its prime, highlighting the race and wealth inequality in society and acting as a "Black CNN" talking directly to the people.
In the 80s and 90's the message was Fight the Power, and that's where I feel we have come full circle.
Check out Fight The Power 2020 on Public Enemies new album.
The calls for equality in a deeply polarised society couldn't be heard louder, on the right, division, hatred and the slow creep of fascism, not just in America but here in the UK and across Europe.
As George Carlin mentioned, America has owners, "huge corporations who control the media and the politicians, they own everything" its true and that's why the message is controlled to support the status quo, this is the end game of Capitalism.
Hip hop and graffiti art speaks for the people, some of the last vestiges of independent expression, hip hop can be fun and silly, I love loads of hip hop, Redman, Raekwon and Daz Dillinger are some of my all time favourites but deep down it represents a movement for change.
This year has been kind so far.
If your a fan, check out:
RTJ4
Public Enemy - when the grid goes down
Paris - Safe Space Invader
By all means add your own recommendations too.
For the record my favourite rapper is Tupac Shakur.
My favourite album is Death Certificate by Ice Cube.
I love most music and I'm not a hater of stuff I dislike, unless it's corporate soulless shit selling sex, consumerism and greed, especially if it's targeted at children. Specifically music videos should not be porn unless stated as such.
Peace Comrades :)

Underground hip hop never died. Check out the two concept albums by Deltron 3030. Also CYNE, People Under the Stairs, Mr. Lif/The Perceptionists, CunninLynguists to name a few :)
Check out Conway the machine, Westside Gunn, Benny the butcher, also there's a new serial Killers (B-real, Xzibit, demrick) Also check out Flatbush Zombies
Ooooo I didnt know about a new serial killers ill have to check that out. The last one was amazing.
I could be wrong but I think public enemy just released something new. Had a couple pop up on my Spotify recently but not heard the whole album.
If you want to take a punt on some uk hip hop id highly recommend fliptrix, skinnyman, dabbla and ocean wisdom just to name a few.

Can't fault high focus. I use to listen to Skinnyman but he started sharing some crazy things without fact checking so left him alone. If you like Skimmyman look at Braintax, not about anymore as he did a runner with everyone's money but still some good bars
Yeah there has been a lot of that going round lately. People seem to be caught up in the hype of everything and don't bother checking what they are told and just take it as facts.
I actually saw skinnyman and fliptrix doing a set together last last year and they were both amazing live...fliptrix has such a stage presence when he performs.
Ill go check braintax out too. Thanks for the suggestion

Had a couple liberty cap shrooms today that i picked yesterday, fantastic so they are, just took the two, one this afternoon and one this evening.
Someone was out in the fields gathering them all up, i had seen the shrooms before and regretted not picking some so when i seen them again yesterday i didn't hesitate gathering a few.

Lets push through, get the job done, pack up, have our smoke and be happy.

Because Dylan, that's why
Dylan was my first musical love. I’m a big fan. My son’s name is Dylan, I’ve a Dylan tattoo.
A true legend
A true legend
I was introduced to his music at a very early age, and went on to play acoustic guitar and a little harmonica!😁
For around 10 years i was playing, mostly dylan, (and neil young, simon and garfunkel etc.)very dedicated i was too!😊
His voice is so expressive i think that's lost on a lot of folks.
I found his bootlegs when i went to london and worked in my early 20s, in Camden market, they were playing one of the bootlegs at the time and i felt like i'd found music heaven.
Take care friend!💚
My best friend when i was growing up also named his first born Dylan.👊

All my working life i've worked night shift or the afternoon /evening shift pretty much.
Now i work early morning start time, i've to get up around 6.
I used to still be up at 6 on weekends watching UFC. Those days are done for now, i'm working with some really cool folks now tho and i get fed at my job and i'm left alone to get it done.
Get my first wage this week but it'll not be till another couple weeks till i'm back on track.
Don't let folks tell you there's loads of jobs out there cause it just ain't the case.
Tho after i actually found work i did get other offers /opportunities else ware too but i'm happy where i am even if my start time is not for a late night stoner.
One more tip, references are important nowadays, if you're gonna leave your job try not to fall out with the company you currently work for.😁❤️

Yes, I saw you say "goodbye" to your friend and smile
I thought that it was understood
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for good

I can't speak the sounds to show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or remember the sounds of my own name

Early 20s i dedicated myself to guitar for a few good years, then learnt Spanish and went travelling.
Early twenties i was listening to this, reading Jack Kerouac and William S Burroughs.

Only legendary artist I've walked away from when they were performing. Super pretentious at Glastonbury refusing any screens for his performance in the late '90s. Dreadful acoustics (only worse at Glastonbury was Orbital, and that was sad as I was looking forward to them so much). We went to get food instead and left Bob singing badly out of tune. Vastly overrated performer, outstanding songwriter.
I seen him in Wembley and central Scotland, both outstanding and i got the bootlegs from both.
Well we can only speak as we find. One of the very best gigs I ever saw was Arthur Lee and Love playing not long before he succumbed to leukaemia. Outstanding acoustics and a performance so good you'd think it was recorded: Shazam showed otherwise.

To the biggas without
I've been off around 9-10 days now and looking at another 2 weeks.
Easy peasy, it gets easier and easier each time you get off it believe me.
I suffer no real sweats now and can sleep no problem and feel pretty good too.
This time has been the easiest yet just keep yourself busy and try focusing on others, use the time to get things done.
Getting up early helps too, catch the morning sun.👍
Music is a great healer and this ones for you my friends and when we get back we ain't gonna need $40 a gram hash to get high, all we're gonna need is a puff or two of some regular and if you do choose the extortionate stuff on your return be careful!😁
I'll probably go with some $23 a gram iso hash and end up on the floor after a single skinner.
Could buy myself a g or two now but no point really especially Christmas coming up.
Be well out there and enjoy the real dopamine God gave us to get by with in this nasty cruel world we live in now.
❤️👊

Man's best friend

Man's best friend
Song starts about the guy and his new love, but turns quick to his sick best friend, with terminal cancer running through it's blood. The lyrics in song are of those between the man and his doggo, their interactions together. The doggo begins the dialogue between them with
'let it go', 'i'll be there when you call',
'And whenever I fall at your feet
'You let your tears rain down on me'
that's when songs switches from thoughts of the girlfriend to his doggo and the dialogue between them.
End of verse 1 you hear about a slow turning pain, start of verse two we hear from man about his doggo hiding and it's voice not sounding right.
'You're hidin' from me now
There's somethin' in the way that you're talkin'
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you'
once man has noticed his doggo's voice has changed and heard the cancer moving through itthe doggo responds with
'Know' ,'i'll be waiting when you call'
'Hey', 'whenever I fall at your feet'
'Won't you let your tears rain down on me?'
Many crowded house album covers feature doggos.
Stay Blessed.

I'm sure they were discussing starting a supergroup with Fleetwood Mac just before lockdown hit! Or they might have been planning a tour even, I can't recall. Would be such a beautiful combination
I just had 2 nice big bongs and went on fox patrol with my doggo and this in my headphones...
Was just perfect!

What’s some of your favourites up until now? Man they’re so good but Anderson Paak and Mac Miller are hard to beat for me, Post Malone’s recent one was brilliant but also Cypress Hill were class 🙌🏻
Tiny Desk's are so damm good. Mac Millers performance is incredible. Most notable for me besides Mac:
-Damian Marley, you can just tell dude is channeling spirits and letting them flow through him.
-Tash Sultana does magic with her loop pedal
-Sting & Shaggy, a duo performance that'll put a smile on anybody's face

I love the bit where it goes - 'it smells like shit on the carpet - smell it ', haha. Instant olfactory nostalgia
Also when it goes 'I just got an ounce in the mail', and I think - wow, that can really actually happen now! haha

Wow, that is an amazing selection right there! 🤩
Personally I’ve been getting my chef’s hat on!
Weed with extracts is always a good idea but mixing in sticky concentrates to make a ‘Roulade’ (my take!) is a bloody great one!
The ‘Dream Wedding’ Roulade:
Ingredients:
Wedding Cake by Druids Magic
Blue Dream Caviar from Canadian Imports
Method:
Grind weed and use a dab tool to spoon caviar on top. Use fingers to work into the weed until covered (weed will prevent fingers getting too sticky), and compress into a cake (roulade!)
Load roulade into a dosing capsule and bake @ 195c for 2+2 minutes.
Inhale deeply and say “I DO!”
Terp Bomb!
Big hitting rolling euphoria will ensue heading moonwards and the most tremendous sense of well being…just fabulous..
A match made in heaven..
PP20 😘

Ok that just made me drool a little, cant wait till i can upgrade the vape!
Moonwards is my preferred direction of travel so sounds perfect.
Was your reports about hash and concentrates made into little weedy sandwiches in the capsules that made me realise my vape wasnt versatile enough.
That Roulade looks delish, been keen to visit Canadian Imports, better get my wedding suit ready.

Nice. And great track. This weekend I've been on the Druids Magic incredible bud (High Mars and Future Island, potent sativa dominant strains). Thank you to DM for some inspiring weed. Currently smoking the Mars and enjoying the autumn rain from my window while cosy at home. Listening to the track above.
Shoutout too to Green Cat and Pontiff of Piff above, have ordered from them before and it was top quality stuff and great service.
Feeling very blessed again to have found the LB community (who have been very kind to a new Bigga) and all these brilliant growers/vendors.

Missed the Druids this time around, the Future Island sounded lovely, hopefully the timing of the next grow will be better for me.
Great tune, anything Lee Perry has sprinkled his magic on is gold in my opinion.

Attached another wonderful track, always thought it would be good in a film.
Sorry you missed the Druids but I'm sure next time! They have something new brewing :). And your current selection sounds incredible.
Cheers 👊🏻

Anyone else grow up with this kinda music, popping acid and smoking the good stuff?
We used to skip skool and watch VHS like this, Beatle's yellow submarine etc.
This album tho, was very special to me and i know there's many of us here just the same.
What an album!

music is more powerful than any drug in my opinion and its easier than ever to share. the best kind of songs are the ones that make you feel something and no matter how much time passes they can still be appreciated no matter who you are. my life wouldn't be the same without music very grateful for the people who make this stuff. respect 👊
It really helps when you're taking a break from the weed, incredibly therapeutic, it fills the heart.❤️👊
Beautifully said 👏
It is SO wonderful how easy it is to share music now, but I do sometimes feel a twinge of longing/ nostalgia for the days of the mix tape. Having a tactile representation of a friend's care. Knowing they've taken the time to gift you with tunes, that they've clunkily stopped and rewound and recorded. The excitement of playing them to death. Just the most wonderful thing to receive.
Or arriving back at someone's house after a night out and getting so excited about their music collection - stuff you would love but don't have, and so such a treat to listen to. Sometimes I think the yout are a bit spoilt. I feel like I've earned it, haha 🏋♀️💥

Smoking my first doob after a break, after a hard days work, hungry, not been sleeping for days.
I needed this tune right now my good friend, hey Fifijane! Stay Blessed Bigga.❤️👊

Luckily the next obsession wont be far away, currently trying not to overplay this too much.

Any metalheads on here?
Any metalheads on here?
Hey guys hope you’re all having a cool weekend. Just wondering are there Any metalheads on LB? I love most metal but my fave genres are probably blackgaze and post black metal. I really like Alcest and Panopticon I’d say they’re the bands I’m listening to the most right now. I remember people telling me when I was a teenager I’d grow out of metal,well I’m in my 40s now and still listening just as much if not more. It really is a way of life. Love and peace.
The 90s had such amazing metal bands. So many genres were exploding and were so exciting. Wasn’t so keen on that rap metal mind. I loved RATM but the ones that followed like Limp Bizkit were pretty dumb.
Sorry dude didn’t mean to offend anyone. Just didn’t personally like Limp Bizkit. Sorry.
Oh sorry man I thought you meant I was preaching to you. Yeah I loved the first Korn album hated the 2nd but loved the 3rd album. Stopped following them after that but still like the odd track after the 3rd album. Alone I break is an awesome track.
I remember seeing Pantera at the Ozzfest back in 98. Amazing set and a wild pit not as crazy as the Soulfly pit a set later that was insane. Love early Deftones up to the White Pony album.
yes but thrash, osdm, 1st wave black metal and the list goes on. So quite a different list but yeah I'm a metalhead
Celtic Frost are probably my fave out of the 1st wave black metal bands. Did you not get on with the 2nd wave of black metal? There are some great bands.
No I do just lower down on my list. Celtic frost absolutely genius band although there was a time they were called death metal
Early Dimmu Borgir for me mate. First 2 albums are great(even the ripped off track on the 2nd album) went off them when they expanded their sound.
sorgens is one of my fave tracks pity m8 i love most of their stuff although my fave albums are Puritanical and In sorte. stormblast will always hold a special place in my heart..
Of course Screamo counts man! Love myself a bit of Mice&Men and Bring Me The Horizon. Not sure if they’re Screamo bands?
I'm mid-forties now and grew up on bands like Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head and NIN. I've always been into other stuff as well but it's what I mostly listened to during my teens and twenties.
I don't listen to metal as much as I used to however I've found the old adage that your tastes mellow with age to be untrue in my case. I listen to some much heavier, more extreme bands than I used to and I'm much more open to sub genres I wouldn't have considered before.
My current favourite heavy listen is Lullabies for Eternal Sleep by Apes. Hadn't heard of them until I read a brief review that described that EP as being sort of like post-metal if all the quiet bits were replaced with nasty grindcore. One listen and I'd bought the tracks off Bandcamp. The first track, Cornwall, is savage but has such an amazing groove too.
If you like blackened stuff then check out Apes' earlier album, Lightless. Different to the latest material but still bloody good.

I pretty much listen to every metal track thrown at me with passion :D.
I love albums in every genre.
Some of my favorites bands are Decapitated, Dimmu Borgir, TBDM, born of osiris, meshuggah, lamb of god, well theres too much really ^^..
Metal is definitely a way of life.
Recently i've been listening to the Nomad album by Kublai Khan (insane tone/sound) and a gradual decline in moral by Kim Dracula, pretty strange shit but i love it haha.

1."Reign in Bud" - Slayer (A stoner metal twist on Slayer's classic "Reign in Blood")
2."Black Sabbath's Munchies" - Black Sabbath (Featuring their heaviest hits to satisfy the munchies)
3."Master of Bongs" - Metallica (An epic blend of metal and cannabis-inspired anthems)
4."Weed the Lightning" - Megadeth (Thrashing through the green haze with high-intensity riffs)
5"Paranoid and Paranoider" - Black Flag (A punk-infused, paranoia-inducing masterpiece for the metalheads who like to keep it raw)

I go a lot of gigs and download/bloodstock festival. Some of the best music to have a smoke to.
Yeah probably the most community, friendly festival I’ve been to. Really chilled and there’s not too many people like major festivals.
lots of metal plays at the local gym, Sepultura, Nailbomb, SOAD, Pantera, Mastodon, Deftones, DOWN, Black Label Society, TOOL and some others I cant remember the name of
Seeing Municipal Waste again in October, really looking forward to that one
Recomendations wise, I've been really digging some of the "new wave trad" by the likes of Eternal Champion and Visigoth, super cheesy power metal about goblins and dragons, epic stuff...

Thanks for the recommendations man I’ll check them out. I’m seeing Alcest in October and can’t wait for that.
Must be more then a few metalheads here on LB for sure.
Right now I'm waiting for the re-recording by the Calavera brother's of the Morbid Visions record. Absolutely can't bloody wait for that! Artwork is on point and the sound, my goodness.
But otherwise, been on a death metal vibe recently - the new 200 Stab Wounds EP and the new Kruelty record basically.

Yeah I was thinking the same,that’s why I made the post just to see what bands everyone was into.
Oh if they get that right it should be awesome. Early Sepultura rocks. Love the Arise album lost interest around Roots. That album wasn’t for me. I really like Derrick on vocals even though a lot of Max fan boys gave him a hard time when he joined.

Tonight I've been listening to Cult of Luna and Boris. Last night it was Lamp of Murmuur and Fluisteraars. I'm in my 50s. Metal seems to make more sense the older I get but then the type of metal I listen to now is different from the metal I listened to at 16. Except for Sabbath. Always Sabbath 🤘Music just keeps on getting better.
Absolutely love Cult Of Luna their Salvation album was incredible! Can’t remember if it was their debut? Give Panoption a listen man especially there again into the light album it is pure genius. Austin Lunn plays over a dozen instruments on the album. Can’t wait to see them next month on their first ever UK tour. Always Iron Maiden for me mate though I do obviously love Sabbath.
Oh yeah I love Panopticon too. I was listening to And Again... last night. Also Botanist and Wolves In The Throne Room, sheer sheets of metallic sound, hypnotic riffs it's damn psychedelic as a genre in many ways. Also into stuff like Thou and Primitive Man, I was listening to the last Wormrot album the other day. There's just so much good stuff and such massive variety that it's impossible to not like something that's "metal" if you're into music. If anyone avoids metal they should take a deep dive into all the sub genres cos they'd be surprised at how much they would probably love. From Sunn O))) to Full of Hell and all the stops in between.
They’re ..again into the light album is so good. I found it very accessible compared to their earlier stuff. Still really enjoy their early folk metal inspired stuff. Kentucky is fantastic. I was lucky enough to see Wolves In The Throne Room a few years back. Beautiful gig. It was bombastic and majestic all at once. 🤘
I saw Panopticon a few years back over in Dutchie land, enjoyed them but haven't paid much attention to them since.Do you like Wayfarer? They do a similar type of thing kinda country tinged BM.
Really like Wayfarer too and a Scottish band called Saor. They play a similar style to Panopticon. Can’t wait to see them live,I’ve waited years for them to visit the UK. Gotta travel a few hundred miles but it will deffo be worth it. Much love.
Mate it looks epic!! Panopticon are headlining day one and are playing their entire Roads To The North album!! The entire weekend looks genuinely great too.
Dad got me into metal with sabbath i have to agree nearly 40 now .... So many metal genres would not exist without them ..
Yeah Sabbath are definitely the godfathers of metal. Without them half the genres today wouldn’t exist.
and if you into black metal check out Blackbraid they just relesed their second album its Native american black metal if you like melodic stuff check em out i feel they are only going to get better...
Thanks for the recommendation man. I’ll check them out later on they sound very intriguing.

"mate"..👐
So sweet ❤️
For anyone who doesn't realise how talented these two are, not only did they co-write "People Just Do Nothing"...but my guy in the Polo cap wrote 'Next to Me' made famous by Emily Sande. ❤️
Then Stormz walks in...
Wow. Just wow.
Cheers BB 🇬🇧😊👍🍻🇬🇧

fav spacey, floaty albums?
sometimes i like to just pop on an album that takes me to another world. two most recent arctic monkeys albums are great for it, i feel like i'm floating through the galaxy whenever i listen to
DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing for me. One of the few multi format albums I own that I’ve had to replace several times cos I’ve worn it out. Freaks me out that it’s nearly 30 years old, it blew my mind then and it still does now. A masterpiece of a sonic journey.
I drove 400 miles to see him DJ. Got realy high then kinda drive home 400 miles. The good old days of 1996.
I second both of these choices. I came here to say the 2nd as clearly the thread title leads anyone who knows the album to think of it. Saw them play it live about 20 years ago, and they were superb.
I third them both amazing albums, I will add any ozric tentacles early albums, cinematic orchestra ,
At one point Spiritualized were my most seen band. Overtaken by Morcheeba by the end of the 90s (i used to go on tour with them tho). Smoke Fairies are up there now too.
If I was going to give a single suggestion it would be:
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85-'92
Don't get Volume 2 if you like it and then expect anything like the same thing.

If you haven't already, check out both Noduns Ictus albums. Ozrics but with a focus on their floaty spacey sounds
Omfg the Ozrics! Lying in the dark on the floor two massive kef speakers , head in the sweetspot after buckets and hot knives
The original Dreamfish album was amazing back in the day. I remember getting a cassette tape copy from a guy at school and listening to it on headphones after a spliff which blew my mind. Got the CD off eBay years later and it's still good for an ambient chillout option.
I’ve got the vinyl of that! Quality Fax output. That label did loads of amazing CDs and they were all limited to between 200-500 copies only….
Sweet, I'll need to check my copy then. I might have bagged a rarity if it's the same label! 😂
I had quite a few but sold on sone years back highest I got was £300 for the second I.F. CD!
I prefer to lose myself in a movie or a game while high but this question feels like it was meant to be answered with ELO - Time.

Tripping with Nils Frahm is great for a spacey floaty experience. Seeing him live is even better.
Both Nodun's Ictus albums are good choices too - the Ozrics without as many guitar riffs

Warp Artificial Intelligence 2, from the early 90s. Incredible album, well worth a listen.
I don't think this is what you're after, but it fits the bill...
I often fall asleep listen to a playlist on Spotify called "Floating through space" but it is literally ambient drone 😂

Carbon Based Lifeforms, all of it. I tend to have a smoke.before bed, pop CBL.on and drift off to a nice spacey sleep.
Check out Haiku Salut - There is no elsewhere
Completely instrumental, so good to listen to while working, but also real nice to have on whilst having a smoke

Most Timeless Artist?
Tom Waits. My all time favourite artist. Been putting stuff out for 50 years and never made a dud album IMO. And none of them sound dated.
Queen and Freddie Mercury...you only have to look at the age range and diversity of the fanbase.
Depends on your POV I guess.
Not Madonna that’s for sure 👀Damon Albarn. Jamiroquai. Guns N Roses. AC/DC. Think tracks from all of those and many more still sound fresh today.

It was written what an album remember me and my boy driving into/around Central London up the Edgware Road, bag of green, XR3i, that's the soundtrack...takes me back. Black Girl Lost and I Gave You Power for me

All about the fire in your life
I adore this album. I wanted a copy on vinyl years ago and my mate's dad sold stuff on eBay and had it, apparently! I went to his house and he had about 10 copies, and I took the best. Can't remember what I paid, but around £10 would have been reasonable.
This is the soundtrack to 80% or above of '80s childhood car journeys. This, Dr Hook, bit of Dire Staits, those circular hard sweets that cost about £20 in the motorway services that were covered in powdered sugar that would go everywhere when you took a sweet?

Simon's song writing and singing on this album is just amazing, so subtle, a true master at work.👍❤️
You've convinced me that the first thing I play when I finally set up my hi-fi post move (fuck it's a daunting task, but I just bought a Chord DAC, so it may be at final form), is this album in its entirety.

Love Goldie and anything metalheadz, in the early 90s I used to go to the blue note on a Sunday night which was metalheadz , the start of it all … amazing memories
My music taste is all over the shop so you might not like it, but I’ll give you some music I’ve been playing recently
Doubt many have heard this, but basically the story behind this song and others in the album is that someone somehow ended up in a parallel universe where either the beetles never broke up or ended up getting back together & never died. Which led to the creation of this so called album and a few others. Some guy stole this album which was on a cassette tape and some how managed to bring it to our universe, I can’t fully remember the story but it’s on the internet somewhere with a full web site explaining the story, I’ll link it for anyone whose interested
Yeah quite freaky to think about, have you done research on any of the conspiracy theories at all around Paul McCartney? If you haven’t it’s a great watch while stoned.
The link to his website explaining the story and with the music he brought back with him (can’t post in web link bar )

It's been seven hours
I was obsessed with Prince when I was in my early teens. Had every album on vinyl and cassette tape, all the picture disks, plus the CDs when they came out. Even had a leather jacket with the symbol on the back.🤣
Interestingly, Sinead O'Connor didn't get along with Prince at all, but she had such an incredible voice and did such a fantastic video of the song, he still allowed her rendition to be released.
I think people often forget how many songs Prince wrote for other artists. He was an absolute musical genius, the kind of which I doubt we will see again anytime soon.
If anyone wants to know just how talented he was, listen to the incredible 1987 release; 'Sign o' the Times'. The vast majority of the instruments on the entire album were played by Prince himself, alongside the new (at the time) LM-1 drum machine.
Anyway, I'm getting nerdy now but yeah, an absolute hero of mine... and a musical legend.
RIP.❤️
Cheers BB
(N.B - It's fifteen days, not thirteen. Sorry to be pedantic! 💚).

This showcases to me excactly how fucking god tier talented Prince was
Listened to him a lot when I was a teen as one of my friends adored him
Yeah watched that again
It's not so much he unzips and pisses on the others when he comes out
It's more he unzips and his cock is so large he's still getting it out by the time the song finishes

I had a couple of his vinyl albums and cds when i as younger and the classic sign of the times live video on vhs.
And in this video it's 13!😁👊

Maybe Sinead changed it because she hated him so much!!🤣🤣

The Prince version is so good. Saw him live in the O2 years ago and I don't think I've seen a better show, and we saw Sonic Youth play Daydream Nation in its entirety at The Roundhouse that week too. My sound engineer mate was working the gig and he got me and 2 mates into the aftershow party too, using a swapped ID badge with another sound engineer that presumably has higher access. Security were still complete dicks, but we got in!
I also have many of his albums on LP, and most on CD. An unbelievable talent. I only found out after his death that he wrote Manic Monday as he fancied Susanna Hoffs so much. It's so obviously a Prince song when you listen to it knowing that, and I really don't know how I ever missed it.

Yes bruddah! Great band, but you'll need to sift through a lotta shit to find the gems.
Wiseman and this joint good starting point.
Lots of fucking great bands from this era / age. Rebelution and Tribal Seeds being the other two standouts for me.

new order vs depeche mode?
Tough one that. Vince Clarke era Depeche were arguably the best.
Pure electronic pop music and Vince cemented that with the fantastic Yazoo.
New order are really more of a British institution as later Depeche went full on American rock gods cliche, and not really my thing.
Born out of Joy Division ultimately New Order’s path was foisted upon them by the untimely tragedy of Ian Curtis but they rose to the occasion and still put out the occasionally brilliant record (last one for me was ‘shifty’) and have a back catalogue of strong albums with ‘Technique’ ‘Power Corruption and Lies’ being my favourites.

Another vote for New Order. I have the legendarily runious pressing of Blue Monday (FAC 73) on vinyl in excellent condition. Got to love a band who have a song that enables them to get out of the venue before the end of it at their shows.

Artctic Monkeys seem to be getting flak for a sub-standard set at Glastonbury last night. Am I missing something? I thought they were banging. A proper tight performance in my opinion, whether you like them or not.
I thought Alex Turner's vocals were a bit off, I think he has been ill though. Don't think the set was anywhere near as bad as some of the critics have suggested.
Considering Alex has just had acute laryngitis I thought he did well. I think some folk are just upset that they're maturing/evolving as a band.

De La Soul - Saturday
If you can get some 'Dam quality mellow hash (all recommends welcome), late afternoon lock-down stroll with the sun still boom, this tune aint bad...
I love De La Soul and have most of their OG albums on wax, only one I’m missing is ‘De La Soul Is Dead’ sadly Dave/Plug Two recently passed away so raise a glass to one of the finest rap crews to ever do it.
They were part of the native tongues movement which included the also amazing Jungle Brothers, Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, Monie Love, Queen Latifah, Red Alert, KMD, Leaders Of The New School amongst others. These guys changed the course of Hip Hop from misogynistic and violent lyrics and imagery to something more soulful and powerful, and arguably great music to smoke to.
RIP Dave Joncleur. 🙏🏾❤️

Two albums define the 90s for me. Exile on coldharbour lane - Alabama 3. You owe it to yourself to listen to this
Also Dummy by portishead, but only if I'm feeling low.

My personal favourite musical decade. The decade where I really found myself musically.
God thinking back I had/have some eclectic tastes.... used to listen to allsorts from studenty indie bands such as Carter Usm through hip hop (nwa, dre, wu tang etc) laid back shiz like massive attack, Portishead through to happy hardcore, gabba techno & jungle
Saw out the late 90's bouncing from club to club with a house, hard house, trance & techno soundtrack to my life (which only ended in the past decade or so 😀)

Mate, this reads like I wrote it! I’m was (and still am!) a huge Carter fan! Proper tuned me in to the world, their lyrics still stand strong now. Got me socially aware and into hip hop, then I got into the tail end of the rave/club scene. Onto trip hop,and the 00’s indie scene a bit. Listen to mostly 90s hip hop and industrial stuff now!
Gotta have house music!
As the 90's started I'll admit to being into American Rock artists like Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt and Kiss. Also liked a bitta Journey, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon. Still have a lot of my tapes and records from back in the day. I've converted one room into a Music room. Got a tape deck, turntable, CD and MP3 player all wired into a decent set of speakers. But back to the 90's.
Must have been summer 92 that I went to my first rave. I live in NI so we those that are fimilar with things will remember Kellys in Portrush. Spent many saturday nights dancing to some amazing house music. Some epic tunes by artists who'se names I never did get, to loved up to care! As long as there was a big beat, piano break, hands in the air we didn't care. #goodtimes

Prince.
I was so obsessed when i was younger i even had the leather jacket with the symbol on the back.
Still love the music but luckily the dress sense has improved a bit!
Anyone who thinks Bruno Mars is ground breaking (and i think his music is great by the way) needs to stick a few Prince albums from the late 80's and 90's on. Gives a very clear idea where he gets his "thing" from.
Cheers BB

A great decade for punk / hardcore. Fugazi. Gorilla Biscuits. Rollins, before he disappeared up his own arse. Sweaty gigs in tiny venues. I miss those days.
Dean Koontz! he wrote a novel that very much matches whats going on in the world today, with the current affairs involved in virology etc
cant think the name from the top of my head, i will be back here with the name :D

I grew up in the '90s and it was the age when I really discovered music. I still listen to a ton of '90s music. I think for me hip hop peaked in the '90s - Enter the Wu Tang, The Chronic, Illmatic, Ready to Die...I could go on.
I saw Leftism get a mention earlier in the thread, what an amazing album, still holds up today. I saw them live a few times and they were always great, a real shame they didn't put out more music. I know Leftfield technically still exists but it's not the same.

In the early to mid 90's I loved nothing more than a night of bouncing, banging techno, followed by Marley/Floyd type of thing as I eased down the next day.
*DTB shivers while recalling those next days*
Changed lots over the years and is now trip hop with a jazz angle, classical & opera, Cash, Floyd, Zeppelin, Fleetwood, Dylan, and a bit of Postmodern Jukebox if I feel like dreaming about sharing my life with Haley Reinhart.

Many, many, many moons ago there was a blog called Your crooked little heart. Some where out there in the Ether.
Some of the most inspiring, heartbreaking and warming writing, that I've ever had the privilege to read.
Unfortunate side effect is this song still gets me.

Love this one. Been in rotation for years. Not all the colabs work now but there's some bangers on there. The Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul joint is a great addition to any stoner playlist.
The Matrix… got some quality nineties trip hop and metal on it.
Rage Against The Machine, Deftones, Prodigy, Massive Attack.

For decent soundtracks, Obviously Hans Zimmer & Ludovico Einaudi

The soundtrack from Performance made in 1970 is great. Lots of music by Ry Cooder. It involves a lot of pot smoking and a mushroom trip too. Cult movie.

A Trip Back to 1990 - Chill Out (KLF)
An album which seems to have almost been forgotten but which was once almost ubiquitous at the after club smoke and come down. Ladies, gentlemen and other pronouns, may I invite you to sit back, enjoy and Chill Out...
One of the best chill out/ambient albums of all time. Also the KLF made ‘Space’ which is another ambient lp based around….the theme of space.
I’ve got both of them on OG vinyl. And if you like those then the Orb’s first release ‘a huge ever growing brain that rules from the centre of the ultraverse’ is in a very similar vein considering they all knew each other and worked together on different projects. There’s also the FFWD album which is Fripp, the Orb and Thomas Fehlman, that album is also along the lines of the above. Lastly the KLF ‘last train to trancentral’ remix twelve had a longer segment from ‘chill out’ that wasn’t on the original record, and same goes for ‘3am eternal’ which had a remix twelve with another ‘chill out’ outtake remix. Welcome to the rabbit hole :)………..

Used to have both on vinyl too back in the day, along with stuff from the eighties like Whitney Joins the Jamms etc which I sold when I needed the readies :-) Also was an 'early-adoptor' of the Orb, seeing them on their first UK tour when their backdrop was a sheet with Orb written on it. Lots of stuff on EG Editions which predated the 90s ambient dance is worth listening to. Eno, Penguin Cafe Orchestra etc. and nowadays there is almost too much choice!
EG was Eno’s label Alex Patterson was a talent scout for them before the Orb and a roadie for killing joke prior to that.
Plenty of great ambient and classical/minimal stuff on EG for sure. ‘The Pearl’ by Harold Budd and Eno being one of my faves.
First time I saw the Orb was in the chill out room at Paul Oakenfold’s The Trip or Labyrinth club/s one of those, I think it was at Heaven, London back in-the day and they were playing sheep noises over Doobie Brothers, Debussy and Steve Hillage 😄shame the clubs these days are so homogeneous that you’d not get anything like that now, House and Techno alongside Balearic stuff with a chill out room. Totally open minded dance floors.
Amazing times…

Beautiful selection! ⭐
Its obscurity can be partially explained by their decision to delete their entire back catalogue when they split up. Probably wise, due to the amount of uncleared samples / interpolations going on with some of those tunes.
Still sounds magical to these ears, and so much better than the official "cleared" versions on Spotify etc.
Thank you for sharing.

Definitely, these are the records I’d highly recommend that everyone should listen to if inclined to KLF/Orb axis, in no particular order-
Orbus Terrarum - The Orb - LP
FFWD - LP
Chill Out - KLF - LP
Space - KLF - LP
A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld - The Orb - original Mix 12”
Little Fluffy Clouds - The Orb - original 12” mix
3AM Eternal - KLF - Remix 12” with extended ambient ‘Blue Danube’ mix
Kyle Said To Jason - KLF - 12” b side ‘Pure Trance’
Last Train To Trancentral (remix) - KLF - 12”
The Blue Room - The Orb - 45 minute mix - Ltd CD edition
Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld - The Orb - Ltd edition - 12” and LP
All of those loosely feed into each other sonically and have patchwork bits of audio and samples running through them from the start of both acts careers and are ambient/chill out/whatever you want to call it.
These are to me, the pinnacles of what those two acts achieved in that ambient genre and were as close as possible to what they played out when performing chill out rooms at various Acid House/ Balearic clubs at the very start.
Enjoy! 😀

I remember when KLF burned a million quid as some sort art piece.
Seemed like a good idea at the time I guess.... 💡👍 Cocaine is one hell of a drug!
No regerts 😉
(Good group though).

As I understand it they really regretted it later :-) There is a movie about it and, I think, a book.
😀 I met Jimmy Cauty but not Bill Drummond decades ago when they were just going big it was around the time of the ‘chill out’ album.
Neither were into drugs at all surprisingly!
Jimmy now runs the K2 foundation and still makes loads of art which he flogs online.
Both of em are as antiestablishment as you like and used to just do things on ‘gut instinct’ and then think about it afterwards 😮
To be fair they generated a huge amount of press and made some number one hit records along the way, kerching.
There’s a book by Mick Houghton that details all of that era and I’d a great read, I can’t recall the title off the top of my head though….

This is one I still listen to quite frequently. Discovered mid nineties along with the orb and FSOL. I still don't know the individual tracks, it is to be enjoyed in full in one sitting, just tooting away I reckon. :)
Agreed, you have to listen to it all. Same with Space which is also a very enjoyable trip.
I just knew you would mention this !! There is also an Alex Paterson version out there with the Jimmy Cauty parts removed which makes it more ambient by the simple fact of having silent parts! There was also a huge limited remix of the KLF catalogue including Space (hour plus if I remember) a few years ago. This Is Not The KLF - I believe it was called. Martin somebody?

Screamadelica
Speaking to an old friend from days long gone and he told me his favourite memories from back in the early 90s was after clubs heading back to mine and I'd put Screamadelica on repeat while everyone chilled out and came down passing 'round the spliffs. Related this to a younger colleague and they had never listened to it! So, just in case there are any others who are unfamiliar with this masterpiece I thought I'd post a link to it so they can discover this album which, it so happens, is about to celebrate its 30th birthday on September 23!!!
edit: Unfortunately the full album doesn't play from the link so I'd recommend playing it in full on YT or Spotify etc. You REALLY need to play it all the way through, trust me!

Big part of that album was Andy Weatherall god rest his soul. If it weren’t for him and his production they’d still be doing Byrds impersonations (not that there’s anything wrong with that)
It was perfect symmetry at that time and resulted in a groundbreaking record.
Oddly enough it wasn’t one of those albums we used to toke to very much, there were loads of far more ‘expansive’ records for those listening occasions one of which was the Orb’s ‘Blue Room’ track in its 45 minute entirety… Still got my primals original bus stop poster for the album and the original double vinyl both of which must be worth a few Bob now…..

Yeh, Weatherall is the key to Screamadelica. Bobby didn't even get what he was doing at first, he wanted to sound like the Stones and Pretty Things still :-) As you say, nothing wrong with that but... He made the same error with the follow up, a huge disappointment as released, despite the initial recordings with Tom Dowd at Argent being so much better. A fact proved when 'The Original Memphis Recordings' was later released to much acclaim. Went to a couple of PS all nighters at Brixton Academy back then, fun times! Would love that poster.
Seen them live meany a time. A good few they were shite due to the fact Bobby Gillespie and mani were out there tits lol 😂 but what an album.
Still gets regular play time in TheDazzler house.
I still have the 12 inch of loaded kicking about somewhere 👌
Random coincidence. My mate bought Booby Gillespie’s childhood flat off bobby’s mum and she left him a framed signed photo on the wall of him as a moving in present 👌

Top album! I saw them last summer where they played it in it's entirety, was one the best gigs I've been to in a long time.
Yep spent many nights after being out raving/ clubbing smoking the spliff and listening to this in the background while some dodgy re-run of prisoner cell block h was running on the tv with sound turned down, spacing out on the come down….

The band is good but this song… omg… I feel like slapping myself every time I hear it by accident.
And in jethro Tull aqualung the singer could have shut up those lyrics and just leave the melody. :P

Any NIN fans make it to this? Myself and Mrs Rabb1t saw the Saturday show and it was 🎉🤯
Yeah we have family down there so it was a nice catch up and I got to meet a friend I had only met online before so that was nice 👍
Also NiN at Eden 🥰

I saw NIN when they supported David Bowie at the SkyDome in Toronto…when they finished and Bowie came on half the audience left which was proof of who they had really come to see 😂😂
Sure enough, Bowie was rubbish, insisting on playing only his Tin Drum crap…

I bet the poor sensitive 🦊 ears were sore after that as NiN definitely are quite high on your internal "kerrang" scale I would suspect 😝
👍…it was part of a five day bender and I was somewhat off my noodle so it’s fair to say if you asked me to hum a NIN toon I might just struggle 😉
I didn't even know they were playing! Seen NIN many times and always good... Even if the venue is pants (I'm talking about the millennium dome or whatever it's called now). Pretty jealous, be a great place to see them.
It was announced Feb 14th to the mailing list and tickets went on sale the same day (and sold out 😧)
Its only cause I'm on that, that I knew about it
Only seen them 3 times in 3 decades but that one was the best sounding, the m.e.n or whatever it's called was best visually, the Apollo was most sweaty 😂

Ah no wonder I didn't hear... Pretty out of the loop with gigs these days anyway. Doesn't stop me from being jealous though! What was the set like? When I've seen them, usually a good mix of new and old. Seen them at Brixton academy a few times... Venue suits them very well.
I genuinely wish I could have gone both nights but just couldn't get down on the Friday to do it

Not checked the Friday set but the one you saw is class! Dang, miss going festivals. Getting the Glasto envy as the weather looks good and the lineup is great. Don't miss wet glasto's, but always get FOMO whenever it's on and I'm not going...
Almost exactly the same here! 2003 was my last jaunt, and the first one with the mega-fence and one that I used a ticket to get in...

First time I heard Miles Davis on sketches of Spain i could feel the sun and smell the olive trees, Rare a record truly transports you so effectively.
Very good call... got to add grand wazoo and Joe's garage to the list. The keyboard solo on cyborg is genius
Shit yeah! Moon Safari was great when it landed in the late 90's and still sounds every bit as fresh today. I'm also partial to a bit of Junip, a Swedish folk rock band.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
It’s a great Tolkien Album!
It’s a great Tolkien Album!
Takes me back to the early 90's......that and Moon Safari by Air stand out for me. I listened to Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld by the Orb a lot back then too. I still roll this one out - another great toking album.
My guitar teacher switched me on to these guys way back. Nowadays, I appreciate this much more than I did then!
Lucky enough to see Ozrics at several free festivals in late eighties and nineties, once so caned on micro dots I thought I was watching floyd from the meddle era.
Great band , nice guys.
In similar vein try the ;porcupine tree’

My go to is Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, followed by Dave Matthews ‘Before These Crowded Streets’ or ‘Under the Table and Dreaming’ and First Aid Kit ‘Ruins’
Its a personal choice and each to their own taste however if there is a list of great albums to listen to when stoned then Fleetwood Mac - Rumours has to be on it.If you have never heard it then you are missing out on one of the greatest albums ever made.
Rumours takes on a totally new life when stoned. I wish I had the songwriting gene!
+1 for Rumours - there is a great documentary about the making of it...well, about the whole band, how they formed etc. They were basically hating each other when that album was made (which is obvious when you listen to the lyrics). Have a look for it on the iPlayer - well worth a look
can't beat a bit of BOC
Saw Phaeleh at Kendal Calling 10 years ago and he played this album in full. Been in love with it ever since. My go to.
This is a bad boy for chilling to, and the artist not very well known so give it a whirl.
K&D Sessions and DJ Kicks albums are legendary!

Waiwan is my favourite ‘unknown’ artist - really low key releases that are mind blowing. Got a couple of his remixes on vinyl will try and find them and upload here!
You have great taste sir!
You have great taste sir!
Discovered Double Negative by Low last year and have listened to it whilst toking many times now. Went straight into my stoner music list... Sounds awesome on vinyl..
Thanks for that tip…I keep defaulting to ‘Things We Lost In The Fire’ but will play this today after a good toke on Smoggy’s Mimosa! 🤤🤗
From avenged sevenfold through to chopin and everything in between. This is really awesome to listen to. If you want a nice hour musical journey one of the best albums I could listen to from start to finish is Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream, and it's not traditionally my fav music. Or anything Led Zep.
Great album alright,recently rediscovering how good the klf-chill out album is,well worth a listen,albeit a little less electronic but ye,cant go wrong with the k&d sessions either!
Haven't listened to the K&D sessions for ages! Well thats my morning soundtrack sorted.
Strange Cargo 3 by William Orbit is good toking album.
Strange Cargo 3 by William Orbit is good toking album.
Or as we used to call it....the ultimate album come down album! Not that this happens anymore, but...put this on as the last album of the night/morning after a night of raving and loads of mdma! Perfect!! Thanks for reminding me of this, been about 15 years since I listened to this beast!
You know it - that's how I first discovered it too. And yeah, It's been waaaayyyyy too long since I had one of those nights. As soon as the world gets back to normal I'm going to recreate 'the old days' :-)
Any, post Syd, Floyd for me- as long as it’s an album start to finish, for the full experience
Yeah, you need the full experience. Imagine a single from Dark side or animals. Even worse, wish you were here. Damn pesky kids don’t know what a single is. Bah humbug.

"We're Only In It For The Money" the Mothers Of Invention, released 1968. Works well on acid too.
Speaking as an old hippy back in the day it had to be "We're Only in it For The Money" from Zappa and the Mothers. Really fucked with your head.
In the last few months I’ve discovered Ben Böhmer. I find his music and mixes to be superb listens while high. Mainly upbeat tempos contrasted with deep bass and uplifting beats. Give it a try ???

Unless I missed it, how has no one mentioned Dark Side of the Moon?!
It's possibly the only album that can get you high with no supply!

K&D are (were) the Dons! Love those guys I'd put Cinematic Orchestra up there too. Worth checking out if you've not heard their stuff.

Not an album as such, but I absolutely love uplifting and mellow jazz beats such as this when high...

Just watched 10 minutes of that - awesome! I'm an amateur music producer and love tweaking the knobs and dials so I will be watching this in full over the weekend - thanks for sharing
I'll throw this in... A bit obscure... Gets the old red eyes pumping and gets a nice on the go, too.
lol use to flat out play this. tried to listen again recently though and I feel it hasn't aged well. the beats aren't great!
It's all relative I guess eh! I still love it personally and feel it holds up well after 22 years....but Jesus, reminds me how old I am!

Floyd Fans?
Had a near 50 year music obsession, and as well as an addiction to Reggae (roots/dub) I love a bit of Pink Floyd too.
If you’re a big fan of the early 70s stuff, you need to check this out
https://youtu.be/4OhhN82dGqQ
This band became Far East Family Band, those releases were also amazing, with Kitaro and Klaus Schulze on board made for a cosmic krautrock mashup!
Julian Cope highly rates this album, Nihojin by Far Out. It’s every bit as good as Meddle, especially as most of the musicians were street artists living in a commune.
Try it ;)

Dropping some cool there.
As you can tell by my avatar I’m a massive Syd fan. All things Syd is my bag.
And being an old guy I have
a lot of the original vinyl, I’m also a second hand record dealer so I’ve picked up a nice collection over 40 years :)
I have most of the Floyd’s post Syd stuff but will always one back to those first two or three albums as they’re in a different league as are the early singles (apples and oranges, scream thy last scream, point me at the sky etc)
And Julian Cope is another subject entirely, author musician poet arch drude….the guy has it all and is a huge influence….
His biography ‘head on’ is an essential read as is his ‘modern antiquarian’ and ‘krautrock sampler’
For me his ‘fried’ and ‘Peggy suicide’ albums are next level. His wife Dorian is also extremely knowledgable about a raft of subjects. I find em both fascinating and endless sources of information. Huzzah! :)

Hi Tony
Interstellar Overdrive. This is what made me pick up the guitar when I was 17.
At the time I went to Paris with my family and bought three guitar books, one of which was a failry rare early floyd chords/lyrics book:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/pink-floyd-67-early-years-syd-barrett-1934674009
I've spent hours trying to work out what Syd was playing on Take up thy stethoscope and Walk, his style melted rythm and lead guitar.
Cheers

You’re right! I don’t think Syd knew what he was playing, he just did it instinctively hence not many other players have his unique style which is part rhythm part lead and part background weirdness 😄 the guy was a genius and I know that word is bandied about regularly but in Syd’s case it was true. The fact it still sounds weird and yet familiar some 50 years on is astounding.
Hi Tony
Totally. His rythmn style in particular is absolute bonkers, think Lucifer Sam.
Often he would play lead off the chords shapes like in Astronomy Domine but other times you can really hear the influence of LSD on his style.
I've heard them cover songs like Louie Louie on bootlegs and I guess there was a skiffle/RnB influence on his playing like most other Brits at the time.
But man whatever influences he had they were warped and twisted beyond recognition.

Oooh oooh…that reminds me of a Floyd trivia question I was given recently (how’s this for a toughie):
“There is exactly half a century between Roger Waters first accredited studio song and his last. What was his first ever lyric and his last?”
Answer:
“Doctor Doctor
I’m in bed…” (Pick Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk)
“It would be better by far to die in her arms than to linger
In a lifetime of regret” (Part Of Me Died)
How do I know this stuff!?😼
We can also conclude that Roger didn’t cheer up much in 50 years!😂

Hehe…I love his music….the Pros & Cons is probably my favourite album of all time…but based on the Floyd books I’ve read everybody who’s ever worked with him thinks he’s a complete twat😂
The 60s Floyd is pure gold, And my daughter is called Emily for some reason!
There was some really amazing bands cutting a whole new sound, 66 to 73 is probably the best era ever.
Im torn with the best band ever, toss up between Floyd, Hawkwind or Velvet Underground. Its a tough one!

Ooof! The velvets for sure are another one of my faves. Right up to ‘loaded’ they pretty much created ‘art rock’ out of psychedelia. No mean feat.
Yeah, that era was amazing and there are sooooo many great bands both obscure and well known that made classic records like the Pretty Things SF Sorrow, The Byrds younger than yesterday , Caravan’s first album, Kevin Ayers - joy of a toy, the Beach Boys - pet sounds, Kaleidoscope’s tangerine dream, Billy Nichols - would you believe, Small Faces - ogdens nut gone flake, the Kinks - something else, the Zombies - Odyssey and oracle….this is just a fraction of some of the fantastic albums of that period.
Mind you, there’s great music in all eras it’s digging for it that makes things rewarding. I love anything from this stuff to U.K. Garage from the 90s to US/U.K. hip hop from that decade to 90s drum and bass, House, Reggae, Soul, Funk, Disco, Library music, Easy listening/Lounge, Jazz, punk, new wave stuff like XTC, the Slits, electronic pop like early human league, soft cell, Scritti Politti, YMO, Yello, Prefab Sprout, Fad Gadget, early Depeche, Yazoo etc soundtracks, Indie stuff like Felt, Cocteaus, Pale Saints, early Verve, My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, loads of Creation stuff, Rough trade and the Smiths, also dig a bit of classical, electronic experimental stuff, ambient, downtempo….pretty much most things.
There is so much good music out there it’s insane in a good way :)

R.I.P. Nik Turner 1940-2022
Just heard he died a few days ago and saddened to hear of his passing. Much respect to him for his great work with the original incarnation of Hawkwind and his tireless work ethic afterwards. Highly eccentric and a bit ornery, but nobody can deny his essential role in the evolution of space rock.
A Master of the Universe, now off In Search of Space.
Godspeed, psychonaut.

He was at jimi Hendrix Isle of Wight,
Jimi sees him ( the cat with silver face) its on the dvd just before foxy lady song I think,he’ll probably being tripping on acid watching jimi Hendrix, what a experience.

I saw Nik play with various bands over the years. He was a true hero of the counterculture. Sad news.
The story I heard they asked jimi Hendrix to play with them at the Isle of Wight(outside the gates,that’s where hawkwind played)but apparently he said no he was depressed,couple of weeks later jimi Hendrix was dead
A lot of people were protesting against the admission fees that’s why hawkwind played outside.
They were pretty unknown at the time
1970.

Hawkwind played outside the gates at the Isle of Wight festival, every drink was laced with acid.
The guitarist at the time (Huw Lloyd Langton RIP) had a bad trip at IOW 1970, think the band were playing in an inflatable tent that deflated in a speedy manner! Huw was so so wasted in cid, that he fled in terror and wasn’t seen for a decade! Not sure how much truth in story, but sounds about right!
He was a good front man for hawkwind, my brother was really into them he’s got everything that hawkwind brought out, a big collection.
Both Nik and Robert Calvert were equally good frontmen.
Check out the Stonehenge 1984 dvd with Nik in full body suit and obviously high as fuck. That was Alan Daveys first gig with Hawkwind too, 99% genuine Lemmy replacement, fantastic bassist Alan.

Love - Forever Changes
I can’t post link to the whole album, but you should be able find it.
One of my all time favourites. I was fortunate enough to see Arthur Lee play play the album in full in Liverpool about 20 years ago. I might have been a bit stoned stood at the front
The liverpool gig was with shack yeah??
I was real lucky too and caught the forever changes tour at the 02 with half orchestra, and stripped back in king tuts and queens hall with baby lemonade, absolutely amazing gigs.

I was at the Queens Hall gig too. Kind of wish he stopped playing just a little earlier, the new songs were funny but maybe not so great. "Maybe the People" is just such a classic track.
Hi Camber
HUGE Love fan here!
I saw him several times in London ater 2000 including one time a the Queen Elizabeth Hall with full philarmonic.
He was playing with the band Baby Lemonade.
But I never saw him in the classic days 1st to 4th album.
Here is some the of the 4th album (and Out There) played live in Europe in 1970:

If you’ve not already give Rodriguez’s Cold Fact a listen.
If you’re a fan of Love the you’ll probably like

I’ve seen the Rodriguez documentary “Sugar Man” well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it but don’t think I’ve heard the album. I will give it a listen.
His second album “Coming from Reality” doesn’t get the same praise but I’m a big fan of that too. Another one we’ll worth a little listen

What happened to rap
It used to have merrits and lyrically intellectual word play and story tellin, now its just lean and drugs
Pete and baz are quality lol, makes you think how them old boys sound so current maybe they have top grime artist ghost writers 😂
Ghost writers or not you’ve got to admit they can rap! I honestly don’t think they do have ghost writers or that they’re a gimmick though. They’ve said in interviews they write with the help of their grand kids for current slang plus to date I haven’t found any evidence to say that they had prior connections with anyone like that in the music industry who would have ghost written for them. Time will tell though and I’ll happily stand corrected! (Maybe not happily as some of the magic would be lost but still lol). Anyway check out the track in the link if you haven’t already. Banger!
They don’t lip sync, they do live gigs. The videos look like lip syncing as the video clips are recorded and paired with the fully recorded and mastered track and that’s obviously not a perfect match.
Depends who your listening to. Young rap yea. But there’s plenty of quality out there. Cheat codes by black thought and danger mouse is a great album that was released earlier in the year. Check it out mate
Just have to listen to them albums never see greatness like that again lol. Kendrick was good tho

Jon Hopkins is a classically trained pianist turned techno genius.
One of his recent album recordings, music for psychedelic therapy, caught my ear a while ago after the release of the promo track, Sit around the fire with East forest and the late, great Ram Dass.
This album is, in my opinion, the ultimate chill. There are some live ambient recordings on this track which give it so much natural flow. For example, Jon and his associates travelled to Tayos Cave in Ecuador and stayed in a the caves for a few days while collecting audio samples of waterfalls. There are birds, butterflies and flowers, some bloops and wooshes etc
With not a single drum beat
The album evolved from there after 10 days in caves, back to London and after a while, during lockdown was compiled into the album.
During this time Jon would take notes while under the influence of ketamine and then work to make any changes.
The albums length is supposed to last the length of a ketamine trip.
Now I don't use ketamine or mushrooms, nothing wrong with that, I've had my share. However there are recent studies to suggest that micro dosing psychedelics can be used to treat a plethora of human psychological issues including depression, anxiety, ptsd, alcoholism and probably many more. This is a good thing helping to remove stigma away from what was thought to be a bad substance. Education is needed not prohibition.
I do use this album in my own way and I fucking love it.
I'm just going to leave that there for now. I need to vape some bud.
If you do trip, shroom,dmt, meditate I recommend this accompanying soundtrack.
If you just want to chill I recommend this sound track.
I'm going to go vape now and put it on.

This is an excellent install for your electronic devices. There are many channels to choose from. I’m currently listening to Progressive and it’s great. I also love the Minimal channel.
I used to listen to Digitally Imported FM on TuneIn when they had their stations on there. I used DI FM's Chillout station to listen to in bed. So many stations to listen too!!

Any other biggas into these guys? I stumbled upon one of their albums (Divide & Exit) earlier this year and they've quickly become one of my favourite artists.
Whopper choons outta dem boys.
Seen them live a couple times and one of them musical acts that has ya smiling for days after seeing.
Check out the documentary they made, Bunch of Kunst.It's brilliant

Saw them live in the summer at Crystal Palace bowl and they were great. Divide and Exit was my intro to them as well. I think they've improved with each album, love the new stuff.
I’ve discovered them same time as you. Great band!
Also i made another discovery. See above link.
Cheers!

Mostly prefer the older stuff (Originator/ Retweeted/ Mekon) but the new album looks pretty good too.

Came out Friday being a NIN fan it's been on my radar for a while
Really enjoying it, as an album it flows well and has some cracking tunes and is 42 mins long with 13 tracks meaning nothing outstays it's welcome and yeah if you can give it a go.
I'm struggling to pick standout tracks as I keep changing preference on them 😂
Anyhow if anyone listens I hope you enjoy ❤️

Happy Mondays VS Stone Roses
if it was for a night out on the town (you know it'd spill over into the next day) I'm going Mondays. For albums contributed it has to be Roses. Tbf I love them both
Stone Roses 'I Wanna Be Adored', 'Where Angels Play' and 'Elephant Stone'. Don't make music that even comes remotely close now.
They are both legends. The Stones roses album is probably the most perfect album of its time, with exception maybe being the LA’s album. Happy mondays had some tunes though.
Have a toke while listening to Mondays ‘loose fit’ or rock out to the awesome ‘I am the resurrection’ by the roses.
Gonna have to sit on the fence for this one!

The bizarre world of Frank Zappa
I see a Zappa post, I upvote.
Not many artists have made me shed a tear when we lost em, but Zappa did!
We wont see his like again, so we should savour the richness he's left behind!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing.
Me too. Frank Zappa was the most musically-curious artist in my life time. He once jammed with a South American group of Pan Pipe players and combined them with the Irish band The Chieftans along with his consummate guitar playing to create the most wonderfully-bizarre set I've ever enjoyed.
Don't know Frank Zappa? Check out the video 'City Of Tiny Lights', a plastacine masterpiece! Mind-expanding goodies all round? No. As I understand it, Frank didn't turn on anymore from a young age, if at all. A confirmed cigarette chain-smoker, there are records of strong tobacco being used to get high, but that's such a longshot. Frank's talents were his own, embellished by his creative genius; a real American Hero.
Frank once did a Pony ( a crap, defecation) on stage during a set. He then opened a case containing $25 000. He said that if anyone can do something more gross, they can take the money.
Some bright spark got up on stage and set about eating it. Did he win the money? What do you think?
Two of ours have gone recently. Spencer Davis and Gordon Haskell, along with the big Jamaican man, Toots Hibbard. The question: 'Does a bird know that it's singing a beautiful song? Or is it a manifestation of the bird's beautiful spirit?' can be asked of our heroes.
Who would you say has this quality? For me, Roy Orbison, Billie Holiday, George Harrison, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield... for starters.

Zappa was afaik completely free of drugs other than alcohol and tobacco.
I like the question are certain people born with a finite number of god given tunes, or are they limited by talent.
Motzart wrote so many works in a relatively short period, he never corrected a manuscript. Some say he only had enuf time to write them out, so the works must have been inside his head waiting to come out. No conscious thought just a outpouring of genius.
Zappa was same, his body of work is huge, most musicians I know admire him with godlike love.

Apropos Zappa, a rather excellent 'Tribute Band' (I know, stay with me) Called The Muffin Men. I saw them at the Phoenix in Exeter a few years ago. This from Wiki will give a measure of the quality of the band
The Muffin Men are a British band, based in Liverpool, England, which primarily plays the music of Frank Zappa and his band, The Mothers of Invention. The group formed in 1990 for a concert in honor of Zappa's fiftieth birthday. They went on to perform his music as a tribute band, along with some of their own compositions, worldwide. Until his death in 2008, the band often featured guest vocals and percussion by Jimmy Carl Black, former drummer and vocalist from Zappa's Mothers of Invention, with whom they also performed songs by Captain Beefheart.
Since their debut, the Muffin Men have featured no less than seven original Zappa band members, along with original Mothers Of Invention drummer/vocalist Jimmy Carl Black, as well as performing with Don Preston and Bunk Gardner in 1993. In 1994 they played a nine-week European tour with guest vocalist Ike Willis, and again teamed up with Willis in 2003 for a special Zappanale festival show, which also featured Napoleon Murphy Brock. (Zappanale is a yearly tribute concert festival dedicated to Frank Zappa's compositions.) Mike Keneally has also appeared with the band, along with Ray White, and Robert Martin. Denny Walley has performed on several occasions since 2010.
Rather than play pieces note-for-note, the band plays Zappa's material working to the strengths of the current line-up, often giving the music a different slant to the original versions.
25th anniversary gigs (2015) feature a core line-up of 3 original members - Rhino, Jumpy and Roddie, with Phil Hearn on keys

25th anniversary gigs (2015) feature a core line-up of 3 original members - Rhino, Jumpy and Roddie, with Phil Hearn on keys
Loved to have seen them or the real deal, Zappa was reportedly a dictator when it came to the band, bit like James brown. One mistake you get a warning, two mistakes and start looking for a new band.
Often wish I understood musical theory better as people who do are astonished at his knowledge and inventive audacity.

The Muffin Men. Wow! As the MC says at the end of the Edar Broughton Band's turnout on the Glastonbury Rock and Blues Festival
1971 album - 'Fuck me old boots! What a set!'
Interesting point about the Great Dictator. When you see the gig, thanks for putting it on, Frank don't care, having introduced the band, how long he takes tuning up. When he kicks off, he's gonna have it right. So the whole band are following him. Woe betide if you're not where he wants you, when he wants you. Tough stuff, but this is a rare quality Zappa has. His perfection is right where he wants it, at any moment. To mess up, or the impact messing up has on Frank, is difficult to comprehend because we don't have this quality.
I FEEL GOOD! That's the sticky, that is. Anyway. The Hardest Working Man In Showbusiness! James Brown has the same experience of performance. His guys are shitting themselves with a constant eye for his signal,which could be any time soon. They were on salary of $1500 or something a week and they would be fined for dirty shoes or wrinkled clothes at rehearsals. This same quality may be seen in other, more structured, boring artists like Sinatra and Streisand.
I love JB, Mark Lamarr visited JB as an elderly chap, who, when clearing his throat, made Mark think he was kicking off a song!
Understanding musical theory... Me too. I'm not very musical myself. We can only enjoy an experience alone. Musical types will experience more comprehension of the forms and things they're picking up on, which will enrich their experience. Lucky bleeders! Lucky Bleeders! @ Ian Dury.

What is your smoking song?
I'll put this one on here just to represent basically all of Sublime's songs and of course the original by Marley.
I'm also big into underground hip hop, and hip hop from the 90s/00. Saw you talking about bone thugs for example, my shit.

Oh man, have loved Sublime ever since I heard them, such a cool and unique band. Shame it ended so soon.
Awesome song this and the original.
Nas, BIG, Pac, Eazy, Cube, Rakim, Red & Meth, DMX (yikes now tough), Snoop, Wayne, Outkast - the list goes on man these dudes were all I heard growing up. Admittedly it has been a while since I've visited the decade, I'm about to take a trip back in time and get all nostalgic. Cheers. edit: can't forget Beasite Boys

I always find myself putting on one of three albums whenever I get some quality bud and have an hour or two to kill.
ATCQ - Low End Theory
Nas - Illmatic
Wu - 36 Chambers
For those times I'm not in a hip hop mood I tend to listen to some RHCP or The Doors or whatever I have on loop in my head for that day lol.

Why thank you, kind sir. I may be wrong but I'm sure Nas wrote and preformed that album at 19/20 which is just bananas to say the least. Such lyricism and flow for such a young man. "Rappers I'm monley flippin with the funky rythm I be kickin,
Musician, inflictin' composition, of pain
I'm like Scarface sniffin' cocaine
Holdin' a M16, see with the pen I'm extreme" first lines are maaaaaad lol

It is crazy, to be thinking so critically at that age while delivering a strong message wrapped up in smart word play, bars and insane flow. Some people just have raw talent man.
Illmatic = Hip Hop
If aliens landed and asked me what Hip Hop was, I would play them this album.
Then they would know...

Don't have a go to song exactly, depends on the mood. Would say hip hop like Gu, J-Cole, Tribe, Pharcyde, few others. Also love some Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Black Sabboth, Led Zeplin. Also love some Vaya Con Dias.....these are just off the top of the head, so many more.
I really came here to comment as I can see hip hop, rock, blues, folk all down through the list and am planning on working my way through it but don't have the time right now.
I want to leave this album here because it is great to smoke to, and great to fuck to, lol.....

My man, I really like this :) Thanks for the contribution, I actually didn't know I knew of Air till I heard Sexy Boy playing. Also, this sounds like a great album to take you through a LSD trip, I think I'll find out.
Of course, love the spread of music, thanks for starting this topic. Already headbanging to a few artists found.
A lot of people actually know their songs pretty well, but don't know them. Haha, that's what I like to hear. I have never done tripping but would definitely contribute to the overall mood/vibes. One of my favourite underappreciated albums....of course just in my opinion

I've definitely heard a few of their songs. Now that is a positive attitude I appreciate seeing :)

Man I dig this so much. Stay High too, there is something unique about the way she delivers her vocals. Music to improve the mood right here.
Edit: ooooh she's done a NPR tiny desk concert. I love these.

Top band mate, went to see them last year in Manchester unreal, probably best gig I saw all year, smoked a few joints just before they came on was a different experience
Oh man, blast from the past right there. Love this band! So chill and bass heavy. These guys did some awesome live shows with Iration Steppas back in the day. Nice shout, man.
Big tune. The little pockets of flows he jumps in and out of while delivering a potent message.. mad.
Any song from the hillside airstrip album by 10 ft ganja plant
This trey songz tune lit.. But depends on mood
not seen that film, looks up my street for sure. But yes it has the same 80's/Cyberpunk feel. I whack the ファニーデス (Love Letter to Japan) album on while smoking and just get lost in it completely.
Yeah this group is so important, continually pushing boundaries. The entire project is fascinating.
haha I actually remember all his old stuff... some stuff was pretty decent. mostly shite though lol
I agree, most of the stuff he did under Chipmunk is mega corny nowadays, probably back then too hahah. I rate his diss tracks though he brought some life back to the scene in those days.
Positive vibes from this one.

When this album dropped over Christmas I didn't think anything of it. Thought it was pretty mediocre.
I listened to it stoned and it got much MUCH better. I listened to it rolling on molly and it got MUCH better still. I listened to the first 3 tracks during my first mushroom trip, and I firmly believe I connected to it on a different level. Went through a full ego death on my first try, with this as the soundtrack. I'd avoid the second half of "Underground Big" though, lead singer goes on a bit of a rant for 24 minutes.

Still a big fan of Wiz but I remember when this album came out I thought it was the shit!! Can’t believe that was 9 years ago....
The film was pretty trash but still enjoy the album throughly.
My other favourite wiz album/mixtape is Kush and OJ and Taylor Allderdice :) hahaaahahaa (wiz laugh)

Cheers for posting this mate. I’ve not listened to hip-hop for years and this albums quality. Listened to it a few times since I read your post. Any more recommendations are gladly welcome :)
Really glad you enjoyed it mate, I’m going to have to stick it on now!
The older Wiz stuff is so good- Kush and OJ is amazing if you haven’t heard that!!
Love Mac millers stuff, all of it is brilliant but especially “The High Life” mixtape, might have to be a YouTube job and his album “K.I.D.S” :) and “Best Day Ever” album as well!!
Yelawolf- Radioactive is a great album and I love his other stuff too. I will try to come up with some others!
But yeah what an album Mac and Dev is, hard to find stuff that lives up to it in my opinion!!

You’ve peaked already then with the music suggestions :)
I used to love hip hop in my early twenties and was always listening to Wu-Tang, Biggie, Dre etc... but I didn’t like the direction the genre took so stopped listening as keenly. when I saw your post about this I thought I’d give it a try. You’re right.... it’s a really good album. Cheers for bringing my attention to it. I’ll have to check the others out.

Mac Miller - Good News
Friends we have some amazing news. Mac Miller will be releasing a posthumous album titled Circles on January 17th. This is single from that new album.
It's almost too much to listen to. Some of the lyrics are so surreal now he has passed. All I know is it's beautiful music and I'm glad I get to hear it. Enjoy.
RIP Mac.

mac miller was briefly reincarnated as sweetdreamz, now he is k13. the point is he is in a lot of pain in this limbo and he is begging for rest.
maaaaaan, nikes on my feet was my shiz!!
Mac was exactly as he said....most dope!

Oh mna, nikes on my feet, forgot about that, tuuuunnne! Mate I want to bang that loud right now but...near on 11pm?...Nahh...tomorrow lol...the reggae break that opens that tune is sauce...
All over the Wu man...Enter the 36 Chambers is in my top 10 of all time and I been listening to hip hop since Kool Moe Dee was a don ha ha...
Mac is one of only a handful of artists in the last 10 years I really rate.
I feel like music as a whole has diluted massively with the proliferation of the internet...it's been good and bad...good is that there are still stacks of dope artists out there... the bad is that you have to sift through sooooo much shit to find gems now...

Dunno why this has just popped up in my feed but...
Loved Mac man...so shit, just peaking as it went wrong...
Not into all of his stuff but Of the Soul and Brand Name are two of my top tunes of the last few years and the Circles album was not what I expected but still very good.
Was fucking weird how he had that video of him being buried alive come out not too long before...can't remember the name of that tune but liked that too.

My guy! Saw mac back in 2011 at Shepherd’s Bush, when kook aid and frozen pizza on he told everyone to spark up. Place was smoked out hahaha
he also tweeted me back once when I said “poo” with a casual “that came out of fucking no where man” I couldn’t believe it, bet he was blazed.
Anyway, KIDS and the High Life are my Jam!!

Well guys this one's really hard to showcase because he has so many different genres that he does. From metal to classical and everything in-between his music certainly takes you on a ride. If you don't like the first one listen to the second as every song is different.
I'd recommend watching the second video Down below if you're already high and wonder what Disney metal/classical sounds like lol
The 3rd video is of a very heavy flavour.
Enjoy, the panda.

Funny Death - I cannot miss you
I was recently put on to this person(?) band(?) by a friend. Absolutely love their sorrowful but upbeat vibes. Have a listen. =)
Thanks for repping Funny Death lol, he's a great guy and very passionate. I've never actually known anyone who has listened to his stuff and not liked it. The best albums for me are Love letter to Japan, Magic is Real and Half Present.
Hah no worries man I've not stopped listening to him since you posted that song. Just listening through everything, it's all good so far.
Good to hear, his whole discography is on bandcamp there is stuff that he doesnt put on YouTube
I don't know mate, his official platform is BandCamp. I don't have spotify anymore but I seem to remember it only having a few albums. where he has released like 10 on bandcamp
This is cool! I will certainly check out some more, thanks for posting. Absolutely love the synth sounds.
I used to have a Microkorg XL, nothing fancy but so much fun to play around with.

I haven't for a long time but I used to love making beats on FL years ago, simple stuff though. I was thinking about getting a cheap midi keyboard and getting back in to it. Not making lame beats haha, just music.
Is it just a hobby for yourself?

That’s really cool, FL can be a lot of fun. Have you ever tried Reason? (Reason 11 is latest version). If you haven’t, it might possibly be what you’re looking for .
It’s quite intuitive to use and it gives you an almost unlimited bank of seriously powerful sounds to play with.
I like to run it through a daw and mix reason sounds and live instruments.
And yeah, it’s a just a hobby these days. I’m a guitarist first, played in a few bands, was never well known but did ok, have toured and been on radio etc. Looking back now though it all feels like another life. Still love music and being creative though.

Yeah it was awesome back in the day man, I was ready to be the next Dr.Dre or something haha. I have heard of it but never used it, I think I'll have a little peak and see what it can do, thanks.
Ah that's cool man, no one hit wonders? Hey you're probably the most famous person I know then.. sign my chest!? Haha. Yeah I think one of the best things you can do as a human is to create.

Oh man, gotta get in touch with the inner Dre haha.
But let me know if you check it out. I’d say Reason changed my home production game the way LB changed my weed game, it gave me access to so much.
Oh and deffo not famous, never signed anything, but I seriously wish I had that one hit wonder.

I know I'm not your target for this comment lol but I have made some amazing songs when high, then when I play them back sober, they sound like my 2 year old son wrote it haha
Oh no man, it’s cool. Always a funny moment though, I’ve had a few like that myself.
When I was in my teens I found it hindered creativity so I didn’t really mix the two but as I’ve got older and grown “more In touch with weed” I’ve found it enhances creativity massively or maybe I’m just really damn high but either way, it’s a lot of fun.

haha I'm still in that "everything seems better with weed" stage. I only smoke like once a month at the moment and my tolerance is literally zero haha. But yes it is very fun

Not had a chance to put it on myself, will get to it after I listen to Circles by Mac Miller =) I had a quick listen to the song ft. royce earlier, sounds pretty decent.
There seems to be quite a few songs with Royce tbh, it's a good album, but i need to have a re-listen myself, as some of the song's are bangers, but others i weren't feeling too much, but as em is a lyricist, the lyrics probably just went over my head.
Still haven't had a chance to listen to it, will put it on just now. Just noticed that actually didn't even look at the track list. Yeah I get that sometimes, also sometimes his rhymes are a stretch. =p
Last night i was just listening to the album on repeat and it's grown on me really quickly. My opinion has definitely changed, at first i thought it was an average album like a 6/6.5/7 out of 10, but now i honestly will give it an 8.5 or a 9. It just keeps getting better tbh.
Yeah I feel you mate it is pretty dense with the lyrics, definitely takes a few listens to appreciate.
