    Psychedelics

    in General Banter

    Posted

    If there is anything that I have come to think about psychedelics it is that a lot of people attach some kind of lie to the experience in aftersight. Like a solvent psychedelics work away at supposed normalcy, burn away beliefs, put all your life's relevancy up for debate.

     

    After having your roots hacked apart and floating in the conceptual abyss, you need something to stand on, or you'd be an invalid. So people make it an 'object'...a 'trip' they 'had'. It was a process going on in your mind, but a process that actively worked against definition...so holding onto it is impossible. A surrogate concept of 'the trip' takes its place, and that concept is just an approximation; ultimately false.

     

    Or something. I don't know. I'm letting the dao leak into my interpretation a little too much I think. I try not to talk like this anymore, most people find it deplorable.

     

    Either way, I agree with Awepittance in saying that Salvinorin is worth some serious and cautious exploring. I've done it many times now and I'm still mystified by it, so much that I'm afraid to even talk about it. The reality of salvia-world (or distortion of the senses it causes) intersects so harshly with the logic of this world that thinking too hard about it will make you go mad. Like, lovecraftian mad. If you're into that sort of thing :mu-ziq:

    The connection is some of his stuff puts me in that same place as shackleton.

    Also does anyone know the following shackleton tune I'm describing: it starts out with a long middle eastern sounding ambient percussive loop that goes on for like 2 minutes...then this incredibly low and loud and textured sub bass comes in and rattles yo speakers. (sounds like a lot of shackleton trax really)

    JAZZ - THE THREAD

    in Music Discussion

    I just got John Coltrane's A Love Supreme as well as Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.

     

    Can anyone here make other suggestions of great jazz albums? Never knew I would like jazz but in fact I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

     

    these are two jazz classics. are you looking for more stuff in this realm? i mean, jazz is a pretty broad stroke. it helps to have a focus in on area if that is what you are searching for.

     

    do you want jazz legends? classic? funk? abstract? current?

     

    Yeah and even then, both those albums were landmark albums that represented departures from the standard jazz. Modal, and Avant-Garde respectably. There is about 5 decades of music before the sixties that still counts as jazz. I mean you have cool jazz, bebop, swing, blues, ragtime, etc.

     

    People looking to be introduced to jazz should start out with the easily digestible pop standards, because as is sometimes forgotten, jazz was the popular music of America for a good many years.

     

    To put in perspective the way jazz works, here is a tune composed in 1935 by George Gershwin

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N090STPx-2M-cool jazz, 1958

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEjjL6CyBJI-rhythm & blues/early funk, 1965

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0LKiFTIEv4-jazz-rock fusion, 1970

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRvQmIrJd3U-smooth jazz(sorta), pretty sure from 80's

    nnnyeah?
