This Grateful *dead post is ... well you know. "removed by user" it says

Like I said, it depends on the mood. Plump DJs is hardly romantic. It's for those time when you would describe it as fucking, not making love (though still with someone you're in love with, of course .

There's some other techno remixes that are pretty sexy.

not the mix I would use, but here's a decent example (probably worth stopping at 3:30, especially if you're at work!):


Roger Sanchez's remix of "Hella Good" is another (I actually didn't hear the original of this tune until fairly recently, and it is not nearly as good).


Of course, with electronica, you'll generally have to mix the songs, not just copy them together.

And, don't forget things like Ravel's Bolero, Clair du Lune, and all those other sexy/romantic classical pieces.

Really, the list of music that is bad for intimacy is probably much shorter. What music works really depends on who you're with and the mood. Even stuff like The Grateful Dead, or Benny Goodman, or NIN would work with the right partner.

You haven't lived 'til you've hotboxed a Kermit-green colored Ford Maverick on the way to see the Grateful Dead.

Not that I've ever done that...

Thanks, rasch. Fear we are few and far between on the sift. Hope you had a lovely holiday and thanks for your Christmas message.

*promote the *rocknroll, deadheads!

I don't think whip-its, and crackers are a new thing. Its been around and widely sold for at least fifteen years. It was huge at Grateful Dead shows, and we use to refer to it as hippie crack.

ahhhhh. A little Grateful Dead helps to get the dishes done this rainy Thursday...

When you die, your soul leaves your body. It then goes to one of 6 realms, depending on karma and stuff. See the Tibetan Book of the Grateful Dead.

I can only speculate but atheists' souls are as indestructible as any other living beings'. They go on to do other things.

heheh - now that I"m a bit more sober, I have to pull back just a bit from that grandiose compliment. It is one hell of a playlist, though.

I used to have a similar (i.e., word for word identical) philosophy on music. But after years of listening to the likes of the Grateful Dead, Bela Fleck, Johnny Cash, Allison Krauss, and dozens of other country musicians, I realized that what I didn't like in country was the same as what I didn't like in contemporary pop music - no soul. There is an incredible amount of really great country music out there if you learn to avoid the pop music crap created in Nashville studios. Given your otherwise very eclectic tastes, I'd recommend keeping that door not entirely closed.

Thanks man, Yeah my tastes in music is pretty much everything except country music. If I wanted to hear men crying then I'd go to a strip club and listen in on what they say to the hook erm um strippers

I was just about to go off on the inclusion of Sly in a "Muzak" playlist. Then I checked the whole list. Wow - that might be the best playlist on the sift. Nice work!

The infamous sandbag "interview."

And so long as we're giving credit for LSD, I think Albert Hofmann, Humphrey Osmond, Cary Grant, Alfred Hubbard, Myron Stoleroff, Richard Alpert, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and millions and millions of artists, thinkers, musicians, and creators (with thanks to William Pickard & Clyde Anderson) deserve to share in the credit of the promulgation and appreciation of this wonderful mind-expanding substance.

...the most powerful diamond power OF THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!! hahaha...I guess, I didn't even notice.

That's a neat trick on a discarded vid. I tried it on my discarded one (since it no longer has the "modify video details" link), but it doesn't do anything. Is that a new diamond power?

you bet yer sweet zombie face...

as of now, I think musicians that represent at least a part of drug culture (i.e. Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Phish, etc.) should be a part of the drugs channel

- Music videos related to drugs whether it be in content or visual stimulus that'd be increased by the use of drugs

so, would that include my entire Grateful Dead playlist?
