Once upon a time, when most current students were busy learning the difference between indica and sativa weed, Jamiroquai rocked the music scene. I suggest the next time Mary Jane pays a visit, you take a look back at the acid driven interplanetary vibes of a certain space cowboy and the rest of his band.
There is a perfect cosmic balance with Jamiroquai that hits all of the right notes. Trippy guitar chords, smooth jazz melodies and funky bass lines are enough to make you roll up another joint. Yet when all of this is merged together along with Jay Kay's deeply profound lyrics and unique voice, music and marijuana reach a new height.
Each song has its own particular mood, yet one attitude rings throughout all albums - the feel good perspective on life. A good starting point for those stoners wishing to delve further would be the High Times: Singles 1992 - 2006 album, which (as the name implies) contains all of Jamiroquai's hits, including Virtual Insanity, Corner of the Earth and Feels Like it Should.
We hope Gillette don't get any ideas...
Whether you're contemplating the beauty of nature, seeing the universe expand or questioning technology alongside reality - a joint and Jamiroquai set you up for the journey.
Jamiroquai aren't limited to music. Their music videos are as breathtaking as their musical vision. In their world, furniture moves while defying the laws of physics and a future dystopia begins to look fun.
It's time for the Rolling Stoner magazine to leave you with a sample, and what would be better than a tune highlighting why so many of us roll up and smoke up. This one is called Space Cowboy from the album The Return of the Space Cowboy. You can find a higher quality video here, but without any further delays it's time to light another and enjoy:
See you when you get back.
Peace out.
