The all-music Stash is back by popular demand!  (And because I’m swamped with prep for three major events in two days plus an afterparty!) Last year, I used to make the “Weekend Music Hit” where I’d put the tunes from the past two weeks into on long podcast for your party pleasure.  Handling this weekly got to be too much of a chore and I discontinued it.  But now with Tam from Marijuana Music Awards serving up all this great music, I decided that I could handle one big music podcast once per month.

I'll be at Pioneer Square all day Saturday from 10am, along with Chief Greenbud from Nashville, Human and The Human Revolution, more speakers, vendors, food, and bands til 7pm!

So every month now, you’ll get your Monthly Marijuana Music podcasts featuring all the songs from the previous month.  In order to save time, I’m just going to run the songs back-to-back with no introductions.  You’ll be able to get the songlist in the Monthly Marijuana Music post (see below) including our opening bonus tune, “Tree of Life”, by a band performing at the Portland Global Cannabis March, Saturday, May 2nd, Human and the Human Revolution!

Have a happy Marijuana March in your city and enjoy Part 1 of your 2-part April 2009 Monthly Marijuana Music, brought to you by Marijuana Music Awards . com!  (Part 2 comes tomorrow at noon!)

Continuing the international theme this week, today’s Reggae Wednesday song, ‘Piece of Ganja’ is by Austrian band, Iriepathie.

Known as ‘Austria’s Most High’, Iriepathie are two brothers, Syrix and Professa. Popular internationally, Iriepathie have performed at concerts and festivals in both Austria and Jamaica.

The duo have released 4 CDs as Iriepathie and have set up their own record company, Irievibrations Records.

Their music is a diverse mix of harmonic Jamaican rhythms and slower roots to stomping dancehall beats.

The duo have worked with the most famous artists of the Caribbean, like Morgan Heritage. Their philosophy is to support Austrian and European reggae artists, so they are always included on the flipside of singles that Irievibrations Records make with the top Jamaican stars.

In the future, Irievibrations aim to continue to raise their presence in the international reggae community and spread their message of freedom, love and peace, worldwide.
