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!)

Message Monday’s song comes from Ruffstar Family, with a message we can all relate to, ‘Freedom Fighters’, nominated in 2007 Marijuana Music Awards.

Ruffstar Family, from Amsterdam, spread the message of love, unity and togetherness to the world.

Ruffstar Family say that world leaders may be busy with wars but the people need to unite and help each other to survive. They say “Life is a beautiful gift and we need to take care of it. Love is the only solution”.

The true family group spread their message with reggae, rap, poetry and their magazine, ‘Global Smokers’, which you can check out at globalsmokers.nl

On Message Monday, here’s Ruffstar Family with ‘Freedom Fighters’!
