Ronald Jenkees: "Guitar Sound"

This guy is the future of music.  Take my bet that within the next year, Ronald Jenkees will have a #1 single as a hip hop producer, a la Timbaland, Kanye, Just Blaze, and Ryan Leslie.  Ronald has tons of Youtube videos out like this, of him playing tracks off his 2009 release "Disorganized Fun."  The kid has talent.  Absolute talent.  He was two records out, both mixing a combo of electronic synth funkinees with hip hop overtones...really cool blend of sounds.

What I love most about it is that he can't read a single note of music.  I can relate to that as I think learning notes takes away from the creative process.  However, Ronald laps me by about 10x in talent.  The kid is no joke.  Watch this video and his others on Youtube.  I have a link to the right with all his vids.

Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park recently blogged about Ronald, so watch out, the kid will be huge soon enough.

Cheers,

Missy Higgins : "Where I Stood"

It's been forever, my bad, things are hectic in Beantown.  Anywhoops, check out this live version of "Where I Stood" by Missy Higgins, one of Australia's finest.  This is recorded from the KCRW studios out west; one of the best live music radio shows in the world.

This post is short and sweet, but I think the song speaks for itself.  Listen to her piano skills while singing, let alone her vocal intonations.  Beautiful.

Cheers,
