High notes
To pinch a joke from my friend Pat:
Q: What did the Jamaican dudes say when they ran out of weed?
A: What's this shit music?
Why are drugs and genres of music so inextricably linked? Is it because the drugs and music work in tandem to produce certain headstates? The soaring emotions of ecstasy and intricate uplifting beats of techno / Weed with introspective genres - chillout and reggae / Rock with the yellow, swaying haze of drunkenness. But what about cocaine or heroin, the bigger drugs? Do they transcend genre?
