Things that go well with vaporizing

[vtac]

Pretty wild lightning storm and some heavy rain here, really fun go out and watch after vapin'.

I was gonna call it a night at 3 bowls but this warrants a couple more.

Of course, if the power goes out I'm screwed.

My friend has it.

Here's a strange mix: baby carrots, beef jerky, milk chocolate and mixed nuts. Feels like the munchies.

Last post in this thread tonight, I promise.

I tried some herbal Peach tea last night...it was awesome!

For music, try 'Cloudburst Flight' by Tangerine Dream...super trippy. And play it loud!

I'll happily check that out - the favorite album that comes to my mind in terms of "head music" is "Hall of the Mountain Grill" by Hawkwind. I've owned this album since the late seventies and it still blows me away. Not only is it very spacey it's also dynamic and rocking. The rhythm guitar totally drives it. It's very very trippy.

Another really good album for "head music" is the first James Gang album, "Yer Album." Very spacey, trippy, atmospheric.

One more: Country Joe and the Fish "Electric Music for Mind and Body."

All great must have albums for members of the Explorer's Club.

Also - first Jefferson Starship album - not really the Starship as you know them, but more of a grouping of the Dead, Airplane, and some other notables: "Blows Against the Empire."

One more: David Crosby: "If I could only remember my name."

I've found that some things can greatly enhance the vaporization experience.

.

ummmm ... has anyone mentioned sex? I find vapping and some bed room fun go real well together.

A friend of mine once gave me one of his Cialis pills, telling me I'm going to have an amazing experience with my girlfriend at the time. It was a joke, the effect was marginal...This was during my "pre vape" period and i was into the herbal jazz cigarette thing, and that's MUCH better than pills....

David Crosby: "If I could only remember my name."

I bought that album when it came out in '71. And yes I was old enough to drive myself to the record store. Remember guys, age is just a number.

I must say I've treated myself better through the years than Dave has. The guy is damn lucky to still be alive. He's also responsible for two of my all time favorite songs-'Almost Cut My Hair' (the hair is short now but I'm still sort of a hippy at heart ) and '4 + 20' off the CSN&Y Dj Vu album. And if you like Neil Young I highly recommend the the 'Heart of Gold' DVD (2005) directed by Jonathan Demme.

My favorite CD cut to space out to lately is the title track from Santana's 'Blues For Salvador'. The amazing guitar work on that cut really wrings me out when I'm high.

I remember Hawkwind too jeff.

ummmm ... has anyone mentioned sex? I find vapping and some bed room fun go real well together.

That's a given for me. THE best aphrodisiac ever IMO.

Wish I still had a guitar or drums.

Hard times huh? My sympathies

What goes good with vapor?
For me it's a cool glass of Red Rose tea, lightly sweetened. Funny we all seem to like tea so much.

Hot Rats, a classic, 'tryin' to buy a grunt with a third party check'. FZ - the best...
Black Napkins, Outside Now, Zoot Allures, Little Umbrellas, Kreega Bondola, an endless list.

I envy the vinyl. And the jacket art (that is so tiny on a CD case).

What I like least about digital music is, it takes songs out of context, a good album is a work of art that should be listened to as a whole. My hearing isn't good enough to tell the subtle difference between digital and analog. When I was young and owned a Stanton 681EEE ... but now I can't hear 18,000 cycles. I'm all digital now. I think part (only part) of the thin sound you mention is most digital files are being played through a less than audiophile system. A nice set of Senheiser phones gets me a little closer...

(Glad to hear you are enjoying your Purple-Days, jeffp. )

The Stanton 681EEE is one of my favorite sounding cartridges....

Playing my bass, trying to grock van morrison and james brown

Wish I still had a guitar or drums.

All I can do now is play guitar hero, (the poor man's version at that) and tap to beats with my fingers.

Best inexpensive guitar you can buy in my opinion is a Japanese Ibanez Roadstar - you can find one on Ebay or Craigslist for about 150. Really really well made strat type guitars with good hardware, good wood. High quality, inspired to compete against Fender at the time. In fact the Roadstar that I have is just as good as an American made Fender, easily. Another very good inexpensive choice (about 200) is a Peavey t-60, US made, also from late seventies. That's a very unique design, made to replicate strats, teles and les pauls switching from single coil to humbucking with the turn of a dial.

There is a great Rolling Stones dvd called " 4 flicks " it came out the same time they did the forty licks world tour . It has three different gigs going from small nite club to big outdoor stadium. I'm asked to put it on all the time . If you like the stones you should get this

'Music is the best.', says Mary from Canoga Park.

I dig the Stones. And think Kieth Richards is overlooked at best. Very under-rated at least. 50 years from now the Stones songs (and that 5 string guitar sound) will play on.

Grock? RH fan?

James Brown, what a band... He always toured with top notch musicians. Dad worked with a fellow who gave up his day job to go blow for JB's horn section. Chance of a lifetime...

Guitars... what to say. I think they are very personal. Even 2 strats from the same year won't sound and play the same, not likely. Even if they did you would find a reason to like one better than the other. And from year to year, well, they really did change.

My current guitar model is student scale. Alder bodied, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, tobacco sunburst El-Cheapo Johnson strat-clone.

First day home the strings and hardware came off and the head was re-shaped and I did the frets and nut and dropped a set of EB super-slinkys on and adjusted the bridge set-up. People think I'm crazy picking through a dozen guitars to find the right one then going home and tearing it up. But hey, it plays sweet, and with the re=shaped head and no 'Johnson' decalm nobody knows what the heck it is. You should see a 6'4" fretless bass player with a little bitty mini-strat strapped on, looks comical.

BTW a good friend (and pro musician) who owns several Fenders plays a Chinese tele-clone that he likes better than the Fenders.

I really do agree, a decent guitar doesn't have to cost a fortune, mine was under $100, new, with gig bag, haha.

I bought a small Marshall amp for a friend a while back. For $100 you wouldn't believe the sound. Nice little living room amp with a ballsy sound. So, no need to spend a grand there either.

I like James Brown a lot more now than when I was young. I guess I appreciate 'music with feeling' a lot more these days.

James Brown was at that blues fest at Byron Bay I mentioned I go to every Easter if at all possible. Easter full moon so usually good waves as well as the music ! . He was fantastic , another guy named Tommy Castro (also seen at BB) does sex machine absolutely brilliantly.

Saw Bo Diddley there with Eric Burdon same year . (I was saddened to here of big Bos' passing ). The best music festival I've been to . An old bastard like me has been to a few to. I'd like to travel to the states again one day to surf & get into some blues . I've seen on the net there are several blues cruises every year from some of the east coast cities. Now that would be a holiday .


As far as the Stones go I've seen them every time the've been down under . Mick Jagger is just bullshit the way he struts his stuff. Keith I agree totally .Good music doesn't age in 100 years time they'll talk about the Stones like people talk about Beethoven , Mozart & those blokes.


My mate gets his vapbongs the next day or to . Keep you guys posted.

I read a lot of his early work as a lad.

Me too. Time was I thought of music as a sort of athletic event. Not that James' stuff isn't demanding, but the groove is the thing now for me.

Funny how similar our tastes are here. Zeppelin is another big favorite over here.

For those who are playing their music on their computer, and even for those who aren't, you need to check out Winamp for its fantastic visualization plugin Milkdrop. If you have a reasonably fast computer with a decent graphics card you can watch some of the most trippy visuals this side of some sunshine acid. They sync up with the music so it can be a real experience, I've lost hours staring at the screen.

I'll get some screen shots up in a while.

Sounds cool. One area of music that I like alot but know very little about is reggae, aside from Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, etc. I don't really have any reggae music in my collection and I wonder what you guys would recommend that's very mellow and good to listen to while baked for good vibrations. Any particular album or collection that I can pick up on CD is what I'm looking for....

 

[stickstones]

Reggae...do a search for anything 'dub'. This is the reggae that has all the funky echo shit that is great for trippin'. I personally love King Tubby.

I have this old LP from the late seventies, "Man Ah Warrior" by Tapper Zukie - pretty good.... lots of reverb but not exactly - in my opinion - a transcendental listening experience. My impression from first listening was "yeah, OK, I get it. It kinda swings in its own way."

Another led zep fan here!

Don't get me started. Don't do pc music at home, so you'll have me getting a buzz at work.

 

[ozwiz]

Another led zep fan here as well . What about Deep Purple unreal .I teach swimming & do a lot of laps myself .I've got a waterproof ipod & its packed with the stones . led zep , dp etc I suppose I'm showing my age but like I said before good music doesn't age.

 

[vtac]

Showing your age? Could have fooled me- surfing, vaping, swimming with a waterproof ipod... Grow up!

Milk drop is the shit Vtac. AFAIK, its the only one where they've actually done research to try to sync it up correctly, and to have the music cause the growth and movement of the visualizer. They've been workin on it for a number of years now, and it REALLY shows.
