August 18th, 2008Seattle Hempfest 2008

Seattle, Washington. August 16th & 17th. What a great two days those were. Let’s go over what Hempfest is, then we can discuss the festivities… and the great merchandise and hemp products!

Seattle Hempfest 2008

Seattle Hempfest started in 1991. It’s goal is to, in a nutshell, legalize cannabis. There are thousands upon thousands of facts and arguments supporting pot apposed to the handful of reasons against it. Upon entering you instantly cannot walk a foot around hempfest without smelling the sweet smell of cannabis. You hear the sound of artists such as Los Marijuanos, or Handful of Luvin’, which is the perfect pot smoking music. This years theme was to legalize industrial hemp. It can help the economy, the environment, agriculture and many other factors in our society.

The highlight of my day there was seeing Rick Steves!
Rick Steves

Rick Steves is the host on many travel shows, traveling mostly around Europe. Showing Tourists what to do, and where to do it.
He preached about how something must be done… it must be now, so on so forth, etc. But the way he preached it was just so moving. Perhaps it felt so patriotic due to the large array of Obama posters everywhere you look, aligned with marijuana leaves on the sides. Or perhaps it could just be the smell in the air possibly making me a little loopy.

So there was great great food there, and a normal festival based pricing cost. But the most reasonable priced goods were the hash brownies and cookies!

Hash Marijuana Brownies Pot

What person wouldn’t buy a 5 dollar hash brownie so he/she can eat it in front of one of the hundreds of cops around the area. There are plenty of cops just watching to make sure no one is physically hurt. The police will not arrest you for smoking or possessing paraphernalia of any kind. It allows everyone to be happy, safe and stoned.

There were 5 stages!! One reggae, one folk, one TECHNO!, another two stages of soft rock, and then a few speakers at the stages in between performances.

Seattle Hempfest is every year, the third weekend of August! But if you missed it, then you can always check out Portland Hempstalk during the first weekend of September!
If you have ANY questions, please just post them here!
Thanks!

I am sure most of you fellas are going to do something of a social matter on the fourth of July…

If you are not then this playlist will please you just as much I am sure.

  • Number 5:

    Galaxie 500 - Fourth of July

    This song involves the festive spirit along with the perfect background music for when you pop open your Coronas or Henry Weinhard Bottled Rootbeers. Check out the YouTube video for yourself!! They also have a few other great songs on their MySpace!

  • Number 4:

    Just Jack - Starz in Their Eyes

    A house-ish UK type of dance music which will surely grasp your audience right before they take the first bite out of their grilled hot dog / veggie dog. Just Jack has a sound similar to a funky version of The Streets remixed by a DJ with some techno-ish beats. If you want to check it out just click the above video!

  • Number 3:

    Albert Hammond Jr. - 101

    Albert Hammond Jr. is a member of ‘The Strokes’… bassist rather. He boasts a sound in which relieves the troubled soul with an attached guitar and drum set. ‘101′ is a song about returning to home… returning home for the holidays? You decide, just watch the video!

  • PAUSE: Cute girl just for the spirit

    Fourth of July Bikini Sexy Blonde

  • Number 2:

    Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

    That video is not the official video but these videos MSbands.com is posting right here isn’t meant for your viewing pleasure but rather for your sense of sound. This song is pretty much perfect for the intro to your fireworks show. It involves the electro/firework beats as well as the song has lyrics involving stars, sky and absence of a loved one… which is SO perfect for the activities of fireworks, right?

  • Number 1:
    Jack Johnson - Upside Down

    Jack Johnson is a perfect selection when it comes to pretty much any kind of “shindig”. This song especially just celebrates a great climax to a wonderful day/night. “We will sing and dance… I don’t want this feeling to go away…”. Just great lyrics for a perfect day… I can’t say much more… except if you have a projector then this would be a great video to blast for everyone to see.

  • Wait a sec… Don’t you need some firework suggestions? Yeah! Heh, I think you do ;).

  • LADYBUGS
    Fireworks Ladybugs
    These babies start off like a spinning disk then out of nowhere fly up to the sky quite rapidly and explode. They will run you about 4 dollars for a pack just like this… Well worth every 10 cents.

  • Have a save Fourth of July mates!!
    Ohh and one last thing!

    David Cook is the new winner of American Idol!!
    David Cook winner american idol

    David Cook took in a majority of 12 million votes, beating David Archuleta. It was truly a David vs. David battle.

    Simon says “For the first time in forever, I don’t really care who wins, you are both winners.”
    It sounds as if David Cook will receive much publicity in the near future but as far as long term MSbands.com feels as if David Archuleta will go further and receive more publicty and record deals. Similar to how the whole Ruben vs. Clay worked out.

    Time of my life - David Cook

    From a recent bulletin on MySpace.com by Jeffree Star

    Dear David Cook,

    Please come over so I can suck your dick.

    You’re really cute.

    Love,

    Miss Jeffree

    MSbands.com wants to know how you feel about this!!
    Which david did you want!?

    So, I posted a little while ago on Wintergreen’s Music Video “How to Make Meth”.

    Controversy is still going on, and views keep skyrocketing up.

    How to Make Meth

    According to the comments on their YouTube Video, all of it is bogus and there to hurt people.

    762FullMetalJacket says

    Oh, god, what a stack of shit… I found it hilarious, but the problem is all the retards out there who don’t know that ‘NaOH5′ is chemically impossible will be trying to do it.

    Kudos, though, for mercilessly mocking all the retarded online recpies for meth and bannana peel acid and shit, though.

    LaLaShizna says:

    Hello the carbon is in the FRESH STEP litter!!! Gees read the damn box - it’s in their marketing verbiage on the Fresh Step kitty litter box it clearly says “with odor eliminating carbon”. So unless I’m an complete idiot there is carbon — Note I only took the general chemistry class in college — so not claiming to be a “chemist” that’s for damn sure!

    Hehe nonetheless I think I’m going to give it a try - meth is fun but dangerous to make - this doesn’t seem as scary - let’s hope…

    Obviously these people are thinking about making this ‘made-up?’ chemical.
    Most people have said:

    Dextropolamine = Not a real drug.
    Pentocyclene = Not a real drug.

    According to most people, the meth being made aren’t even real types of drugs.
    I just know that Wintergreen knows how to get their name out there, and have some fun doing so.
    Here is the video again for those who want to watch it!

    April 28th, 2008Kanye West & Tila Tequila

    First off let’s start it off with Kanye West’s Glow in the Dark Tour

    Kanye West Glow in the Dark Tour

    I live in Seattle, and I got to catch an amazing show at the Key Arena in Seattle on the 16th of April. Lupe Fiasco, Rihanna & N.E.R.D were also there and almost as amazing as Kanye.
    The next couple days he must have only have been thinking of Seattle because according to a new internet blog post titled ‘Please forgive me Sac-Town’, he writes: “I can’t believe I bust a spinal tap (made such a big mistake)! It’s no excuse for this I wish I could sink in a black whole (sic).

    “When I said Seattle and there was no crowd response I was up on my spaceship platform thinking damn… I think I just said the wrong city!!!!! I kind of muffled the words so I was praying nobody really caught it.

    “I guess all those hours that me and Phill spent making my mic clear as possible back fired on me! We had a lot of problems with the video servers on the first 3 songs and that completely threw me off! Hey, I’m not perfect. Hope everybody had a good time. I’m a man, I can say it… I’m sorry.”

    I, personally, think it is kind of funny but the Sacramento fans probably don’t feel the same way.

    Tila Tequila’s Success
    Tila Tequila Ralph Magazine

    Tila Tequila was nomated for Spike TV’s 2nd annual guys choice awards for the “So Hot They’re Famous” category. She is competing against Kim Kardashian so it may be a tough one.

    Who is Kim Kardasian?

    THAT is Kim Kardashian. She is an American stylist, apparel retailer as well as a television personality. She is mostly known for her social life, appearance on Keeping up with The Kardasian’s and her sex tape with Ray J.

    I am hoping a few more are announced before March 8th, when tickets go on sale.

    Last year a few bands were added last minute, such as Patrick Wolf, The Long Winters… That was also the day after M.I.A cancelled… so they had to do something.

    Now I also hear Mars Volta is a band they are trying to get, to pair up with The Flaming Lips on the main stage… I suppose we are just going to have to find out, eh?
    Here is a free song by M.I.A
