I asked my dog why she thinks I would rather sit hear and listen to snippets of Ceschi’s new record instead of watching MTV’s Video Music Awards and you know what she said? Nothing, she’s a freaking dog. Set for release on September 26th on 7inch vinyl (who? what?) and via finetunes.net. Peace to the homies. Link (here’s a link to the zipped snippet bundle)

Count On It (Instrumental) (snippet)This 7inch single is the first introduction to Ceschi (pronounced Chess-key) and DJ Scientist’s new full length album to be released in early 2009.
“Count On It” is a powerful hip hop anthem sparked by DJ Scientist’s epic string and drum arrangement, written just weeks before the Fall 2007 Equinox Records European tour. During this time period Ceschi’s band Toca had recently fallen apart only months after the release of their full length album. On top of this, Ceschi severely broke his arm and was taking 90 mg of morphine every day to nullify the pain all while his Grandmother fell seriously ill and ended up spending 2 months in the hospital. “Count On It” was written after one of Ceschi’s every day/all day visits to the hospital and is an in depth self-analysis of a struggling musician trying to maintain a life outside of society’s normalcy.
“Bad Jokes”, is one of the key tracks making up Ceschi’s semi-fictional story of a one-man-band who went by the name of “Julius and The Bearded Savior”. This song is only a single part of an ongoing tale of stardom, deception and failure within an unappreciative music industry. Although “Bad Jokes” is the first story you will hear about “The One Man Band” – it is one of the last stories about his life that is featured on the album which is littered with references to this same story.
The digital version additionally contains a remix of “Bad Jokes” by Misanthrop and an instrumental version of “Count On It”.
