what drugs you use when going to SY
 

what kinda drugs do you use when you go to a concert of Sonic Youth.
Or what drugs you use when listening to Sonic Youth??
I like to smoke a big joint.
Once in Amsterdam when I went to Sonic Youth the first time in my life 1999 i took an xtc pill, wow man I was dancing and slamdanced the whole concert through, weird man but kinda cool.
Nowadays when i go see them i just smoke pot and drink beer.
:cool:

A couple of over-the-counter ibuprofen if I've got a bit of a headache or something, but usually it'd just be a couple of mugs of strong coffee, to make sure I don't drop off during the show. I get tired in the evenings - a mixture of age and the old M.E, don't you know.

Why can't more bands play in the afternoon?

so...far...speed...and...ectasy...a...part...from. .the...booze...and..pot...of..course

Hugs, not drugs! :)

Sonic Youth is my drug of choice.

I imagine I would get a little stoned before. Although, of any show I would want to go see stoned it would be the Flaming Lips. That reminds me, I wish I had gone to see the laser Pink Floyd show they had at the local planetarium a few years ago. :(

this is really stupid but...

one time i saw a local stoner rock band i didn't like very much and i got stoned before the show (and i NEVER get stoned, so it was a rare occassion all the way around) and they blew me away. i mean, i know that's kinda the point of stoner rock, but i don't think drugs should have to be there to enjoy a band, but ... i dunno.... i imagine anything sounds decent if you're stoned enough, but i think if you really like a band (like with sonic youth), you should combine the experience with some acid... if you can get some.. i've never been able to find any around here..

Are you even conscious of your existence?

This is true!

Other than coffee and cigarettes...but that doesn't really count.

only...when...i...pee...IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
...think...of...you

*writes down "only...when...i...pee...and...think...of...yo u" for later use as a comeback insult*

but,...its...true

coffee

no drugz. i'd rather have a good meal.

A combination of good coffee and a perfect hash joint.

If you need drugs to like something then it aint any good.

True, but if it's good, a doobie can only make it better. ;)

well maybe drugs just heighten the experience, and raise it to a new level.
perhaps you only get the true experience of something through altered states of consciousness ie. a drug experience.
just saying, what you said was a bold statement. the romantic poets experimented w/drugs (coleridge was fond of nitrous oxide), and countless other artists after them...

yeah thats a fair point. I wouldnt ever do anything strong for personal reasons but i realise how drugs have resulted in good things.
I remember watching that BBC documentary about Sun Ra a while ago, and all the people who worked with him were saying how drugs were essential to break the shackles of conventional thought, but Sun Ra himself didnt need them because he had broken them many years previously. I like the idea that there is a pure frequency of the mind that doesnt need drugs to become opened and receptive.

yeah, but then people like sun ra and keiji haino practice abstinence from all intoxicants


edit: too slow
