Hello peeps!
I'm not a fan of deadlines when it comes to music but for the sake of you being in the know, my hopeful goal for the new album is sometime in December (digital release, physical CD's take a while to get pressed). "Late summer" has already past and the work is slower than I anticipated. All the basic groundwork is laid out though - the ideas are all there in front of me. All the tracks are pretty much picked out. Disorganized fun, messin with a guitar sound, throwing fire, stay crunchy (released ), and others that some of you have told me you like on youtube will definitely be on there.
I could have rushed things and had something sooner, but I'd rather not release something I'm not 100% comfortable with. Does that mean it'll be perfect? Probably not! LOL.
I don't know about you other musicians, but for me, finishing tracks is the most difficult and time consuming part. That's where the "work" creeps in. I've been told that goes along with all creative work. It's a weird balance between keeping it fun and actually having some organized recorded media to show for that fun.
Also, a new video should be out super soon. I'm doing a VERY VERY fun collab thingy with a cool band. I want that video to be a surprise though. It's been a BLAST working on it. It's got me charged up every time I sit down to jam with it. Kinda has that same vibe as "throwing fire".
And some quick thanks to Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park for shouting out to me on his blog yesterday (WHOA!?!), Katy Perry for her flattering post that I forgot to mention a while back, and to Papa Roach who continues to stay in contact by email to encourage me on my new music and videos.
Thanks for your patience and all the cool emails that keep me going.
If you buy 2 or more physical CD's, I will unwrap the plastic and sign them
come on bud we r desperate to buy your cd plz finish fast nd good
Hello there Ronald--
Truly enjoy your music; it's calm yet energizing.
I would really like to know what your policies are regarding self-promotional use of your music. I've been kicking around ideas for a graphic design/illustration demo reel and, well, let's just say I wanted to know how you feel about one of your songs being bundled onto video files on CDs and shipped to prospective employers, as well as showing up on a portfolio website.
Just some prospective thoughts on my end, but I'm certain that other people are curious as well! I also know that you're more concerned about making awesome beats than money, but there are lots of people who would love to reimburse you for the use of your music in demo reels (me included).
would i find ' Stay Crunchy' and 'Throwing Fire' on this CD (i just bought 2 and they are not inclued)
thanks ronald for the CD ive bought 1 week ago, they just arriveed in my mailbox (France) in 8 days woohoo
Man ure greatest !!!! we like ur music and wait for your next album. its a very emotional mp3s. we have bought the 1st cd its cool. Hallo from Russia
Hey Ronald, Juss keep doin whatever yer doin. If we gotta wait, we gotta wait. In my opinion that is one way you are definitely going to see your true fans. I am going to purchase the current CD but I'm gonna wait for the new one and purchase the two together. I love yer music, and I would to see you change your priorities for the sake of expediency or whatever. Just keep lovin and enjoyin it, the rest of it will fall into place when it is supposed to.
Peace Out, from Nova Scotia in Canada!!
Ronald !! When will your new album?

Write more of this music, and come to us with a concert =) I'm sure that after some time of you here speak, and you will be popular in our circles (I am listening to your tracks with your friends, and they are well appreciated), I wait for exit in light of the second album.
