Synopsis
You’ve just arrived home after a bad day…Scratch that…You’ve just arrived home after a bad month You’re broke, despite being too busy to shower most mornings. You’re lonely, even though you live in the biggest city in America. Generally speaking, you’re in a funk (and not just from lack of bathing). You do, however, have one cause for mild optimism. You seem to have captured the attention of an intriguing young lady. You’ve rushed home this particular evening to clean your apartment before she comes over. In your haste, you see that you have missed a call. There is a voicemail. She tells you that, she won’t be seeing you tonight… An Oversimplification of Her Beauty is a film that puts you in the shoes of an quixotic young man, as fantasys, emotions, and memories, race through his mind during this singular moment in time.

I’m so proud that this single is finally available on itunes…. it has been a long time in the making. But we believe in delivering quality around these parts… so I hope you enjoy the final product. Nemiss gets some production assistance from Brooklyn’s own Dj Spinna and Keyboard/Vocalist Chris Rob.. the warm keys and backing vocals help Nemiss sound her best.
We also went through a couple of designs on the artwork… our process is usually I make a couple designs and let Nemiss choose the one she likes. What you see above is what made the final cut… I’ll post the alternate versions later. Now go purchase the single and show your support.

The talented vocalist Chris Turner covers Bob Marley’s classic Turn Your Lights Down Low. You have to love the stripped down acoustic version of this song (closer to Bob’s version) and the vintage video treatment here. The perfect Sunday morning playlist tune.
Beautiful new song by The Legendary Roots Crew. From the upcoming album Undun.. Check the track listing below.
Undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford’s internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out ‘on the corner’. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented–postmortem–and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.

Now this is bring me back to the early 90′s were I was open on any thing that was fresh and new. I got put on to fishbone late when I was young. By the time I was hip to them they had a large following. Plus I was one of their pop hits not record cut. I had a good friend that reintroduces to the band which made me a fan on the next level. Which for me is telling, you can not be a fly by night fan of this group. So this goes out to all you fish heads out there.. A new doc 20 years later.
rest….
