Music: Bigfellas – “4:20″

Thank your major deity or preferred philosopher of choice, it’s Friday, Stashers!
Today’s music for the weekend is a familiar time for you all, a time legendary to everyone who has ever smoked pot ever in their lifetime, or has a friend who smokes pot, or has ever watched a television show or movie where pot is referenced at all.
I, of course, am talking about 8:06am Greenwich Mean Time.
Just kidding! I’m talking about 4:20! Obviously! I may not be a smoker but I’m not stupid, either!
Bigfellas is a San Diego based band whose influences include Ben Folds Five, Steely Dan, They Might Be Giants, and Warren Zevon. If that’s not an eclectic mix of bands I don’t know what is. But the beautiful thing is that you can hear every influence in their album, Chubbed Up, which was released just this past October. They also get the honor of being the first band who has ever sent me a promo CD. I feel like a real Music Director now! I get promos and press kits! Yeah!
But seriously, having listened to Bigfellas’ entire album, I can definitely recommend it. It’s a lovely blend of classic pop sensibilities with a little bit of classic and piano rock thrown in. My only nitpick is that their song “4:20″ is not actually four minutes and 20 seconds long. But I’m weird like that.
You can listen to more of Bigfellas on their myspace page or check out their website here. I highly recommend checking out their album; the more I listen to it, the more I love it.
If you have music you want to be featured on the Stash, you can send it to me at normlsafemusic@gmail.com. We also have a myspace page which you should definitely friend if you want to find out more about the artists we play here!
