Ronald Jenkees: Musical Genius

Here you go Hoops. I've been working on an economic blog lately, but I haven't had the time to finish it up so this will have to keep you entertained until then...

If you read Bill Simmons (The Sports Guy) articles on ESPN, or listen to his podcasts, then you probably know who this is. If not, the guys name is Ronald Jenkees. His music is amazingly ridiculous. I usually don't buy CD's, but after watching a bunch of his YouTube videos I decided to bite the bullet to support the guy. Enjoy!






If you like what you see here you can find many more videos of him playing on YouTube. Just search "Ronald Jenkees" or follow the link to them here. Also, if you would like to support him his music is available on iTunes and his website. Word on the street is that he has a new album dropping this month...
"It's got a real dirty sound. Like a rusty steak knife, cutting through a well aged steak." -Ronald Jenkees
While I'm at it I might as well toss in a few music related side notes...

The first is that when I was put on hold today the song playing on the other end of the phone was a remake of the Cyndi Lauper song, Time after Time. Apparently some Disney star sings it. Fitting, I guess...

My second side-note is that two of my friends are playing their first gig down in Portland later this month. I had the pleasure of listening to them practice a while back and I'm stoked to see what they have come up with since then. Hopefully, that will include a name for their band...
