Breath easy, Denver, you’ll never face the crippling paranoia of trying to choose a radio station. We have
Aptly named, KBUD Smokin 94.1, the pot radio station is full of cheesy, cliche stoner culture puns that have become well-worn in Colorado.
To help them choose their new programming, we put together some suggestions of songs to play (some serious and some a total joke) on air.
Have any suggestions? Send them our way in the comments.
Read our list of songs we want to hear on Denver’s pot radio station below:
All 217 minutes of Phish’s New Year’s Eve 1995 live album with occasional screams, sirens and gun shot sounds inserted every few minutes at twice the volume.
An entire hour every day featuring audio of Snoop Dogg inhaling, coughing and clearing his throat.

Every aurally iconic song from “The Big Lebowski” (i.e. songs you associate with the film, but not like, the Elvis Costello song). Recommendations: Gipsy Kings’ cover of “Hotel California,” Creedence’s “Looking Out My Backdoor,” Kenny Rogers’ “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In”).
Girl Talk-style mashup of every bro-trash, stoner-rock, nu-metal soundtrack from 311, Deftones, Godsmack, Papa Roach, Staind, etc. But at, like, 1/10th speed over the course of seven hours.
All the ACTUAL stoner-music classics: “Kaya,” “One Toke Over the Line,” “Legalize It,” “Burn One Down,” “Don’t Bogart That Joint, My Friend,” “Hits from the Bong,” etc.
— John Wenzel
A block of Pacific Northwest garage/psych: Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Kurt Vile, Mikal Cronin, etc.

“Me Gustas Tu” – Manu Chao
“Stoned and Starving” – Parquet Courts
“Pass the Dutchie” – Musical Youth
— Julio Enriquez
“Sweet Leaf” – Black Sabbath and “Sweet Loaf” – Butthole Surfers. Nothing else.

The entire James Blunt catalog.
