Hey Stashers, “Radical” Russ here. Welcome to Monday, May 12, 2008, or as I like to call it, my youngest brother’s 25th birthday! Yes, that cute chubby baby on the left is all grown up now, and as his oldest brother, it is my job to publicly embarrass, er, I mean, support my brother in all his endeavors.

Josh is incredibly talented, and that’s not just a proud big bro talking. He’s soon to graduate Boise State University as a theater arts major. He’s a gifted actor, director, and playwright in addition to being a talented singer/songwriter and guitarist. To the best of my knowledge, Josh isn’t a cannabis consumer, but as I was checking out his music on MySpace, I told him that someday he needed to write me a song about weed so I could promote him on the Stash.

Two days later Josh knocked out a demo on his four-track recorder. It’s this cute little disco-ish tune called “Get Stoned Together”, and he plays the guitar, bass, and cheesy keyboards as well as programming the drum machine and singing all the vocals. It helps fill the gap left by the lack of marijuana love songs - there are lots of songs about loving weed, but few about loving someone by sharing weed.

Enjoy the demo. Josh is moving here to Portland in the summer, and we’ll be collaborating on this song and others (I play bass, my cousin plays drums, and his mom has a great recording studio). We’ll let you know when the finished product is ready!
