Listening: Stoned Is
From Listening [Vanguard, 1968]
Slowly I’ve been discovering tracks used on Tripledouble and Diplo’s AEIOU mix, most recently a track by a band called Listening from Boston. I believe they only cut one album in ‘68 featuring nice psychedelic rhythms with blues and jazz influences, and sultry vocals. This is the type of sound I love, and it shines through tremendously on “Stoned Is.” It’s a trippy, funky, and quite honestly a beatiful track that benefits from strong instrumentation.
Enjoy. More AEIOU bits are surely on the way.

Nice track. This was on Shadow's Diminishing Returns as well, I believe. There are a couple heaters on AEIOU2 that I would love to know. That "Champion Sound" loop is ridiculous. I also want to know the one right before "On Any Sunday," and the last two on track 1 (the Stinky Steve monologue, and the vocal boob-a-boop one that I think was a Diamond D interlude), holy shit!!
that above comment was me, btw. Guess I wasn't signed in…
i already had this courtesy of DJ Shadow's <em>Dimininshing</em> mix, but its GREAT to have the orig, separate track, complete w/ the cover art. Plus i had no idea these dudes were from Beantown! THANKS!
i forgot that this was on the diminishing mix. gotta listen to that again.
I found this song on an album entitled: Marijuana Unknowns. Awesome song! I did not realize they put out a whole LPs worth of material. I will surely track it down. Also there are two other psyche bands from that era worth mentioning, The Boss Tweeds/a wristwatch band, and Children Of The Mushroom/you can't erase a mirror. My band The Psychedelic Insects cover Stoned Is as wel as the above mentioned tracks.
dstll808, thank yoy very much for the write up on Listening. They were one very cool band.
Long live psychedelia!!!
Yes, I remember recording one Saturday back in 1967 with Children of the Mushroom. Both sides of our 45 "August Mademoiselle" & "You Cant Erase A Mirror" in one day.
