Was just talking to some buddied how I need a weekend just off by myself doing whatever I want after having spent the last two weekends on little trips with michelle. Weed and some music alone in a hotel room would be epic.

What do you do when you're high?!?! My favorite thing to do when high is zone out to music. Any music, but particularly more journey oriented stuff like live concerts or Pink Floyd, or later Beatles.

It's actually the best when in the woods camping. Especially on a clear night with a lot of stars.... :mindblown:

I'm setting up our house in the woods to be the most epic experience for high music consumption.
I usually smoke right before bed since it helps me sleep and helps me eat my last meal of the day. So smoke, eat, watch something funny on Netflix or similar, :dock:, pass out.

As far as eating and being :fatty: goes, I am more on the side of everything in moderation, however as long as you are realistic with what your behaviors are then so be it.

You wanna be 300 lbs and eat cake every day? Fine. Just don’t bitch/moan about you keep gaining weight if you make no changes.

You want to be 100lbs and not eat except once a day? Fine. Just don’t bitch and moan about being miserable.

:dat:

Nothing drives me crazier than people constantly complaining about their weight/physique. Do something about it or :stfu: and be happy with who you are.

For me, I want to be thin/fit and I also love to eat, so I exercise for 15+ hours/week. It is a big time commitment but I enjoy a good amount of it (I actually hate lifting for the most part but enjoy the results, I like cycling and running usually) and I appreciate the results and being able to not starve myself/have some beers or fattening food when I want.

:dock: and comedy are also great whilst high. You should definitely get into music. I smoked before that country concert Saturday at the speedway and it was 5/7 even though a lot of the music wasn't even that great to my sober self.

That's why I want to exercise, too bad I still can't do it... so instead I have to starve.

My dad and I talked about the Beatles at length this weekend after a J

There were really 2 Beatles...Pre LSD and Post LSD as marked by Sgt Peppers. Sgt Peppers was pretty revolutionary in sound for 1967, and took them in a more modern and interesting sound direction. Pretty significant and revolutionary for the time, but none of the songs are really :mindblown: IMO. But what is :mindblown: is the arrangement of songs post LSD. Sgt Peppers, but more so the White Album and especially Abbey Road take you through an entire journey of feelings and emotions. No one song is particularly great, but the collection of them as they're arranged on each album are fantastic. My favorite of them is the transition between "I want you (She's So Heavy)" and "Here comes the sun" on Abbey Road. "I want you" is this long dark heavy bluesy song that for 7 minutes builds and builds and builds until there's it's just noise and chaos when it abruptly ends and the light delicate acoustic guitar plucking at the beginning of "Here Comes the sun" starts immediately after as if something so light and delicate managed to conquer chaos.

That level of arrangement wasn't rivaled until Pink Floyed.

Also, smoking helps A LOT with getting into this music.

Try this also with "Revolver". Epic.

:dat:
I prefer it to Sgt. Pepper. I think it was the height of their coolness. They were playing cool new guitars, using cool new instruments like the tabla and more sophisticated use of the sitar on Love You Too, invented cool new studio techniques like direct injection of McCartney's bass into the mixing desk to bring it to the fore, routing Lennon's voice through a revolving Leslie speaker on Tomorrow Never Knows to make it sound "like it was being chanted by a thousand Tibetan monks". They would later use this technique on guitars to :neat: effect.

Or my favorite; they were playing and experimenting with backwards tape in this era (Lennon's vocal on the fadeout of Rain), and Harrison decided he wanted to do a backwards guitar solo on I'm Only Sleeping. But he didn't want to just record a solo and flip the tape. So he composed the solo then learned to play it backward, then recorded it played backward, THEN flipped the tape so the solo ended up being forward, but each note was backward. It's pretty :mindblown: in my :wrong: opinion.

I could go on, but around here, :whocares:

I always liked the mashup DJ Danger Mouse did of The Beatles' "White Album" with Jay-Z's "The Black Album." It's called "The Grey Album," for anyone who wants to check it out.

Considered some CBD lotion/oil for your afflicted areas?
:notbad: suggestion, definitely worth a shot. Or just smoke some dope.

Been a while since I've listened to "Revolver". It was never a favorite, but I'll need to give it a spin.

It really was a fascinating time in their, and music recording in general, history. They began to experiment with LSD at this time, too, which explains Tomorrow Never Knows, She Said She Said (from an acid trip with Peter Fonda when he told Lennon that he "knows what it's like to be dead"), and Dr. Robert (the dentist who sold them acid)
I should have added that they did all this, and Sgt Pepper, and really everything up to Hey Jude, with a FOUR TRACK mixing desk. :impressive: They finally got an 8 track machine for Let it Be and Abbey Road and all the singles of this era.

This was sort of the start of me going from "the Beatles are the most overrated band ever" to beginning to respect them. My old boss who I mentioned earlier and myself talked at length. We were both in the recording/audio console industry and he had been in it since the 1970s and seen a lot of things progress over time. The Beatles really did do a lot of cool experimental shit in the studio that shaped techniques still used today. While I don't find their songwriting to be :mindblown: , they certainly did provide a ton of innovation.
