I tend to find that when I drink, I get way more emotionally invested in my art. I think what I'm drinking (and how much) can change what I chose to reach for.Self wrote:Maybe pot would steer you to Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, etc...? I think I'd reach for whatever I was in the mood for wether I got high, or not. I tend to be more involved in listening when I am high, for sure. Definitely get more into it and I tend to pick up on things I've missed in the past. If you're the type who likes to veg out after smoking, then maybe Pink Floyd et al would be your go to?

Interesting. I'm totally with you on getting more emotionally invested in art when drink and/or smoke. I don't think I've noticed it changing what I chose to reach for.

There are a few factors at play for me here. How was my day? What mood am i in and how does that impact how the alcohol affects me. Then...what do i reach for?Self wrote:Interesting.

Where do you tend to go when you drink?
It depends on what I'm drinking and how far in I am. And sometimes on the time of year. For example, I always want to listen to Tom Waits. But if it's warmer outside and I'm having a whiskey or two, I might go with Mule Variations. But if I'm drinking gin, I'm more apt to grab Blue Valentine or Swordfishtrombones. Or if it's beer, maybe I'll do Heart of Saturday Night.Self wrote:Interesting. I'm totally with you on getting more emotionally invested in art when drink and/or smoke.

This is oddly specific.durdencommatyler wrote:It depends on what I'm drinking and how far in I am. And sometimes on the time of year. For example, I always want to listen to Tom Waits.

Things like that.
But beyond that, I tend to get really into country/bluegrass/blues and more southern jams when I'm drinking whiskey. And I tend to get more upbeat, poppy or electronic if I'm drinking gin. Beer tends to be old favorites. Again, that's all generalized but I feel like there's probably a real trend/pattern if I sat down and tracked it over a long period of time.
Oh, I find I'm more interested in new music, or I'm more open to exploring things if I'm slowing drinking beer. Once I get into full drunk, no stars mode, I really want stuff I know by heart and can sing or weep to.

I wasn't trying to be a dick. It's just foreign to me.
