When I smoke weed, the -only- thing I want to do is listen to music. My
friends often criticize me because I get fidgetty if I'm away from my
computer (my stereo) for more than 10 minutes while high. I believe that
the reason music sounds so good to me when I'm high on weed is because I'm
able to focus on the music in ways that for some reason I usually can't
while sober. It's the one reason I can't seem to quit smoking it,
actually. On the other hand, I can't make music when I'm high. If I can
put anything coherant together at all, I usually realize later (when
sober) that entire melodic lines had been ripped off from other songs,
without even realizing I had done it. Sometimes what I like to do is
after I get a song all laid out and ready to master/put final FX on, get
high first and put the headphones on, because it helps me beat the ADD
thing and lets me somehow get closer to the music.
Also, when drunk I listen to Dio.
np: Circulation - Emerald Pt2.
