I know the chems say that there's songs have nothing to do with drugs, but I can't help noticing the references in some of the titles of the songs.
One's I can think of are:
The Private Psychedelic Reel
Lost in the K-hole
Studio K
The diamond sky (reminds me of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds)
In dust we trust (maybe)
Chemical beats (maybe)
The Test (the lyrics anyway)
Coincidence? I think not....

I do believe The Tests' whole lyrical content is based upon 'a hallucinegetic test'. H.I.A really means the name...But the Chems could be meaning to go vertical...? Who knows? Dope Coils' lyrics dont mean much to drugs...from what I have observed. What does TPPR have in common to drugs? The name? The name is a great one and has nothing to do with psychedelic drugs. Same with Studio K, whats the drug reference in that song? I still yet to hear TDS :x In Dust we Trust is probebly refering to their record label, not 'candy'. But as c-row said, its all about the music :P

Ohh yeah! I had forgotten about The Test. As for H.I.A I think getting higher is a a form of happiness not only related to drugs.
In the end it dosen't really matter if the Chemical brothers endorse the usage of drugs, it's unfortunate that they would, but it's up to the individual to take the best out of what's presented to them.

Thor: In Dust We Trust came before Freestyle Dust. Its a tribute to the name "Dust Brothers", as that album marked the *exit* from it.

Ok, I think you guys misunderstood me. I was just merely pointing out the coincidence in the names - yeah, I know some are far fetched. The Chems don't endorse drug use, their just not that naive - they know people are going to use drugs whilst listening to their music, that's just the nature of dance music and the culture. And no, not everyone will be on drugs, but a proportion will

I want a shirt that says "Got Wang?" and a shirt that says "Far-out Son of Lung"

My mother-in-law worked for an embroidery shop, and for the holidays 2001 she got me a black shirt and had "got glint" embroidered across the front. One of the coolest things I've ever gotten from my mom-in-law and it's served me very well. :D

i dont think dope coil refers to drugs. dope is hip hop slang as in "dope beats" meaning really good (also features in tom and ed's "supadope thanx" in the album sleeves) as for coil my only theory is that the chems like circular things e.g.
the private psychedelic reel
dope coil
hoops
loops of fury
