    Sorry, I haven’t been listening to the music often enough. I would like to say that, of the songs I’ve heard on the podcast, “tomaas-lets_get_high”, is my favorite. That is artwork. Damn good stuff. I think it was in a podcast from somewhere in March, 2008.

    FWIW

    Tom & Wayne! Thank you so much for your kind words! I had a blast writing and recording that song, and I can’t wait to get it recorded proper — with a full band (Russ on bass, of course).

    I do have a lot of albums out there, though some are in the “vault” as of right now. I do have a free album you can download on my website, or you can purchase my latest EP, “Songs for Autumn”, on iTunes now!

    Or, if you want, you can listen to ALL of my songs for FREE on last.fm, a wonderful music resource! The link is http://www.last.fm/music/Josh+Belville

    Okay, that’s enough self-promotion. I hope to create more music for the Stash sometime soon! :)

    Fantastic selection, Russ! There are a couple of honorable mentions that didn’t make the list, which I’d like to mention as well:

    Get Stoned Together – your bro, Josh Belleville
    High – Sly Joe
    Mountain Kind – MC Frontalot

    Those are actually the top 3 in my personal Stash playlist, many thanks for introducing me to this great music I would have missed otherwise. I liked Sly Joe and MC Frontalot so much that I bought all of their albums! Which reminds me, does Josh have an album out yet?

    Thanks as always for all the effort you put into the stash, it’s very much appreciated. Wishing you all the best and a Happy New Year! :D
