RIP Gil Scott-Heron



Dwaaaaamn. There aren't many people I admire enough to call a personal hero, but Gil Scott-Heron is defly that. He was the truth. His work always reminds me how powerful our words are, and as poets we are responsible for wielding them with wisdom. Gotta show the proper respect for the message.

Rest In Peace GSH

I'll be bumping that 1980 album all weekend for ya.

Nathan Veshecco - Plenty Of Hits In The Sea

Plenty_Of_Hits_Cover_resized.jpg


I highly recommend you cop this at http://www.nathanveshecco.com/

let Nate tell it:


I am pleased to announce the release of my first career retrospective compilation, Plenty Of Hits In The Sea, available today exclusively at www.nathanveshecco.com as a digital download! Featuring nearly three hours of music spanning my first decade as a recording artist (2001-2010), the Plenty Of Hits package also includes free bonus downloads, full artwork and extensive liner notes.
Part One of the package highlights standout tracks from my first four studio albums and iTunes single releases, as well as three brand new songs recorded specifically for the compilation. Parts Two and Three include rare and previously unreleased studio recordings, demos, b-sides and collaborations, as well as an hour-long conversation between myself and my longtime friend and studio engineer, Jason Shaffer of Full Tilt Productions (http://fulltiltrecording.com/).
As you listen to these tracks, you’ll be able to read my commentary on the writing and recording of the songs. It’s been an absolute joy for me to compile and reflect on my favorite songs, as well as a few of yours, from the first chapter of my recording career. I hope you’ll join me in celebrating a decade of my music, which, as Stevie Wonder said, “is all that I have to tell you how I feel.”
