Well howdy there, Stashers! I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Who is this guy? What has he done with Cannabis Karri? Is he cool? He better be cool.”
I assure you that I am cool. I’m Josh Belville, Russ’s younger brother, and some of you may remember me from this post. Well, Karri is getting too busy with her DJing gig that she has passed the podsafe Stash music search into my capable hands. I thank her for this opportunity and hope that I can find only the best pot and social justice-related songs for your listening pleasure.
Now, I may deviate a bit from what Karri likes to put on the Stash. My preference is indie pop/rock stuff, but I also have a particular love for certain types of dance and electronic music (so beware the occasional techno…). I also want to find songs about social reform and justice and liberty and freedom (which all of you Stashers deserve!), and that search has led me to this song: “Liberty” by Up Stairs. It’s a nice mellow acoustic track about a girl named Liberty, but is obviously a thinly-veiled metaphor for, well, actual liberty. Those songwriters sure can be sneaky.
Up Stairs is Tim Oneal and Andrew B. Davis, and you can hear more of their music on their myspace page.
