Friday (26) – Acid - Let’s go on a Psychedelic Journey

Acid vs. shrooms. There's a discussion over in one of the vmp threads, essentials I think. Having never tried either, I do love the music inspired by them.

Shooms just make me feel sick.

 

[LeeVing]

I'll try to stay on this Psychedelic theme for the day in the spinning thread, too.

Day 26 - Acid - Let’s go on a Psychedelic Journey

Jimi Hendrix Experience - Smash Hits

This is either spot on, or 100% inappropriate for today seeing as acid is what took Hendrix from us. Regardless, the tunes here fit the bill for a psychedelic journey for sure.

The last time I did acid the first thing we listened to was Are You Experienced and it was terrifying.

Day 25 - Hype a label: Young Fathers - Cocoa Sugar (Ninja Tune)

 

[sahomerrocks]

Thursday (25) – Hype up a record label that you think deserves some attention

Double Double Whammy

Great Grandpa - Four of Arrows

I don't think I've ever heard a bad album from DDW. This is one of my favorite albums from last year. Other acts on the label I like: 2nd Grade, Florist, Free Cake for Every Creature, Gabby's World, Hatchie, Lomelda, Long Beard, Quarterbacks, Told Slant, Yowler.

Day 24 - Adulting: Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can



Seems I didn’t submit my Day 24 properly.. Short story around this one. Had a long term relationship fall apart. Rebound lady was a muso who was supposed to be just a friend, but she sung me a song off this album one night and things escalated. Learnt a lot about people and myself in the weeks and months after that. Bit of a turning point in “adulthood”.

Friday (26) – Acid - Let’s go on a Psychedelic Journey

Real Estate - Atlas

I have a confession. I fucking hate The Eagles psych rock. So I'll play it's much more palatable cousin in surf rock. This is the last album I enjoyed from a band who recently went too far into psych rock for my liking, coincidentally.

The first time I ever did it I listened to Pink Floyd Relics and that was terrifying as well. Syd climbed right into my space.

Day 26 - Acid

... and miraculously I’ve now caught up.

I wonder was this album recorded under the influence.

Todd Rundgren - A Wizard A True Star

Shooms just make me feel sick.

Gotta eat it on a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwhich and wash it down with some Orange Juice, I found that helped my stomach issues

Reminds of of the White Album, only with John Lennon everywhere, including in my kitchen cooking

Well see, there you go, my inexperience with drugs proves I don't know what would be good to trip to haha

Haha, it's totally subjective, though! We just got hung up on some of the apocalyptic language and sounds in a few of the tunes and it dominated our headspace for a while. I'm sure if we did it again it would be great!

Day 26: Acid
Binker & Moses / Journey to the Mountain of Forever

This record by the London Jazz duo is quite trippy.

Friday (26) – Acid - Let’s go on a Psychedelic Journey

Santana - Live @ Woodstock

 

[imtheocean]

Day 26: Acid

One of the loudest shows I've seen. Long psychedelic / metal jams. Makes for a good test record for the new turntable as well!

Earthless ~ Rhythms from a Cosmic Sky

 

[mudketeer]

Day 26 - Psychedelics: The Horrors - Skying

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 26: Lysergic acid diethylamide
Radiohead - Kid A

Due to the sheer volumes of LSD I took while listening to Kid A I think the album is now cosmically attached to my soul. To this day when the first notes of of “Everything In It’s Right Place” drop It makes space/time bend and I start to melt through the floor. Acid Flashbacks are a real and wonderful phenomenon.

Day 26 - Acid

Does this say Grateful Dead...or We Ate The Acid??

Day 26 - Acid Flashback

Jim Morrison and The Doors - An American Prayer

Should I have been experimenting with acid in my mid-teens? Maybe not. This story isn't meant to glorify that....but it's the acid story that came to mind for today.

Back in the 80s when I was 15 years old, a couple friends and I each took a tab of LSD 100 and rode our bikes to the mall. It was about 10 miles away, including a couple miles of a gravel road. We must have looked like hell when we got there; all dirty and sweaty and saucer-eyed. Looking in the mirror is never a good idea while tripping so I can't say for sure...but safe to say we probably looked every bit as fucked up as we were. We went record shopping, and while I don't remember the details of the excursion I know that I came home with this record and Pink Floyd Ummagumma. (which I lost long ago)

This has never gotten all that many spins over the years, it's.................fine.
