The Perfect Song For... getting high

The Perfect Song For... getting high
Hosts Fred de Vries and Tim Cohen sniff out the perfect song to listen to accompanied by some... magic lettuce...

Music and drugs have a long and varied history, but what is the perfect song to enjoy while you are high?

The presenters, Fred de Vries and Tim Cohen have no personal experience in this regard, but they have friends, associates ... some close, some distant, who may have indulged a bit, from time to time. And they have advised on ThePerfectSongFor ... getting high.



The Perfect Song For… is a lighthearted weekly podcast in which journalists, writers and music aficionados Fred de Vries and Tim Cohen banter about a bunch of songs which are perfect for … something. And we have (famous and less famous) guests.

At the end of each show we choose one song which is the perfect song for the theme we picked. Along the way, we agree and disagree, and discuss the structure, character, history and quirks of the songs as far as we know them.
