420 Blues

[happyrat1]

Today Canada tabled legislation to make Mary Jane legal across the country.

In honor of the occasion I hereby release this track using my groovy sledge and my mighty minilogue.

Some very cool sounds there Happyrat!
Why did you call it 420 Blues?
Just btw. . . We in Aus. have just legalised (or about to) marijuana for medical purposes. I think this is a good thing.
Pain relief.
High on music!

It's explained in the song notes on Soundcloud and on the title page of the video.

The Canadian Gov't just legalized Mary Jane for Recreational Use here in Canada today.

It doesn't go into effect until spring of next year but the legislation passed in Parliament today.

This was my musical homage to the journey we all took to get here.

I like the pics. Music even sounds better 2nd time.
Cheers

 

[happyrat1]

Thanks.

I'm really proud of this one. I think it's some of my best work yet.

Just goes to show, quality gear is a worthwhile investment.

I have never heard the term "420 blues"
I must be naive.
Not a pot head.

 

[happyrat1]

Google the origin of "420" and prepare to be dazzled and confused by all the conflicting stories about it.

It's a global thing so I'm surprised you hadn't heard of it.

I was reminded of an old Star Trek episode with tribbles and an interesting 420 experience, are you experienced? Yes you are.

 

[happyrat1]

Chock full of Inna Gadda Da Goodness...

Thanks fishman

[Rayblewit]

Google the origin of "420" and

I did. You released your tune 6 days too early.

 

[happyrat1]

Wrong...

The gov't tabled the bill 6 days too early

Never trust a politician or anyone over 30

How did you do the video? What lazy way? It's pretty neat. Nice piece too.

 

[happyrat1]

I used a website called stupeflix.com

They give themselves a huge final credit at the end of the video.

All I had to do was log in with my gmail account, upload the tune, create a title page, upload about 100 pictures from my wallpaper files and pick a theme and the rest was so simple and step by step a monkey could do it. It even handled uploading the vid to youtube and after that all I had to do was go to my youtube control panel and edit out all the stupeflix garbage in the description.

The entire process took about a half hour cause I have a lousy upload speed on my connection.

Definitely easy peasy.

Really enjoyed that! I'm on some strong painkillers for my back, not the herbal stuff though

 

[Rayblewit]

Back pain can be debilitating.
Wishing you comfort and quick repair.

Nice.

An unlazy way to make videos is mandelbulb 3d. It is a fractal engine.

 

[happyrat1]

I found a better way for subsequent videos.

I use ProjectM visualization software with a screen cap program called Vokoscreen.

I can create a decent psychedelic video in the time it takes to simply play the song and upload it.

Believe me, I have enough on my plate perfecting my music without having to deal with learning to use a 3D renderer.

Hello Gary !

As I told it to you on SoundCloud, I find that the piece would take some strength and the basis with a more present bass!

Well, it is a good work!
