First I said "late summer". Feeling a bit pressured, I then said "December". I'm looking at where I'm at with the album and I'm not sure I'll have a complete December release. I could, but it's just not ready. You know that moment right before you completely go to sleep? It's a time when you're kinda vulnerable - if something worrisome pops in your head, you're awake all over again a little bit startled. Lately, that's about the time where my brain has faithfully reminded me that my album isn't done yet and there are people waiting for it, as if I didn't think about that enough all hours throughout the day. Should I get out of bed and work on music? Sure. What would it hurt? Lets go work on some music. 2-3 hours later and sometimes that process repeats itself - back to bed, back to the Motif. Sometimes I have some recorded media to show for it, sometimes not. Never do I beat myself up if not - music is always worth the time you put in.
Things continue to be fun though. Just the other day, I found myself adding a minute of newness to the end of "Throwing Fire". It's the kind of stuff I love to do - just go anywhere I want to with the song. All else is moving along too - some songs quicker than others.
Back to deadline speak, I (thankfully) don't have a label beating me up to release a second album, just people interested in hearing new stuff and I'm grateful for that. Just be patient with me while I have fun with music and get it recorded. I'm just thankful I don't have a label imposing arbitrary deadlines on my creative progress. I do that well enough on my own. LOL. Late summer. December.
PS. A friend and fellow YouTuber, David Choi, finished his album (there's a buy link on his myspace). All original stuff. Threw it in the car and I was digging it even though it's different than stuff I normally listen to. It's calming and he's got a great singing voice. I think it'd also make a good gift if you have a female friend who digs love songs.
PPS. Got to meet STS9 when they toured through KY. Zach (the drummer) had me come on the tour bus to meet the band before they played. Very nice people and the show was a blast. Thanks to my hat guy, Sam at Livity, for telling Zach about my music and making that collab possible.
If you buy 2 or more physical CD's, I will unwrap the plastic and sign them
Ronald -
I'm patiently waiting. Don't feel pressured.
The anticipation for us fans is building and that is a good thing.
Enjoy the Holidays and enjoy your creative experience!
Take care,
Brian
RJ, your music frequents my everyday routine, and whenever I get the chance I tell anyone who deserves to catch your vibe about you. You make amazing stuff, and it's the creative freedom that's made it that way. Take whatever time you need to end up with something you love, and everyone will likely follow suit.
-Another Brian
привет Рональд. Жду не дождусь твоего нового альбома. Когда уже ?
Hey Ronald, if the second album is anything like the first it will definately be worth the wait. Have a great Christmas!
ssSam
Your music rocks and i have been waiting for your second album since spring 2008 but i don't mind waiting another few months. I would rather hear a finishded album later, than hear it earlier and "not done". However the youtube clips of your songs from the upcoming album is so good that im sure your next album will be your huge international breakthrough for your career.
It would be a cool thing if you and Buckethead could make some songs together someday because I think that would be some really awesome music too with you rocking the keyboard and Buckethead shredding his guitar. :)
Sorry for my english i hope you understand what i meant. Keep making music and inspiring people to do the same, i took up music again after i discovered your music.
AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
I was looking forward for a December 2008 release. The first album was awesome!!!! I have no doubt that your second album will DEFINATLY be worth the wait!
Jenkees,
Don't feel pressured man. I think it's AMAZING you're able to do what you do and really appreciate the fact you don't have a label breathing down your neck! You are "The Real Deal" and are 100% doing what you do best because it's fun and for folks like us who enjoy it! Whats better than that? :-) No need for me to be ancy in my pantsy lol
Do what you need to do and know that I will be one of many who will pick up your next (and all future) albums dude! :-)
Keep it real! Have a sweet Christmas! and Welcome in the New Year!
Piece out!
Mikey Jr.
take your time Jenkeeeeeeeeeeeees. glad to get an update.
Hey Ronald, keep it going...I can't wait for your new album. Just want say that your youtube jam videos never get old. Pure magic baby. Keep it real Ronald and keep it gangsta.
Kimmo
I really hope "A fun beat from outer space" makes it to the cd.
Cheers Ronald keep doing great music.
Hey Ronald!
I was just telling my girl sitting next to me that I'm super excited about your new album. I showed her some clips of you jamming out and just plain having fun, and I think THAT is what makes your music great. You're not someone who should be tied to deadlines, it's not your style! I think anyone who really appreciates your music would cheer you on for NOT rushing this!
Bring it out when YOU'RE ready dude because that's when it'll be pure gold!
Cheers!
(that dude from South Africa again)
Your music rocks, and I'd rather have a complete album come out late than a short one come out sooner than you want it to. Just keep up the fun, and it's a guaranteed success!
Ronald,
It's great to hear an update on the album, and I assure you everyone else who reads it will feel the same.
We can't wait to get ahold of the album since the songs you've picked are some of the best you've ever written.
Just keep going with it you'll get there soon (I hope =D) and as you keep saying, have fun with the music.
Have a fantastic Christmas and welcome the New Year in style dude.
Wow, so I just discovered you last night on YouTube. You freakin rock! I've never heard a sound like this. Maybe you've already answered all of my questions in past blogs, but I have to ask! Like what type of keyboard do you use? How long did it take you to master your chord progressions? You know what! I've got a million more, but I'm gonna let you get back to your album! I want to get a signed copy of your first CD! That way I can tell everyone I knew you before you were a household name! Keep it real Jenkees, your music is amazing!
Justin, Orlando, FL
Thanks for the update, Jenks! I'm glad you are passionate enough about your music to make sure that it's perfect before it goes out the door.
Keep on having fun and making music...maybe you should post another video teaser in lieu of the Decemer 2008 release...sounds like a great idea! :-)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo! That saddens me because I won't be able to give the gift of Jenkees to all my friends for Christmas. They already have your first album, so oh well. I was really looking forward to being the only person who gives a GOOD gift this year at the parties. ;D
Now I'll just be the guy who gives air fresheners again, thanks a lot man. =( Nah it's fine, I'd prefer your music to be perfect than get something that sounds like Timberlake beats. (Too many pops and clicks, not professional.)
Merry Christmas man,
-Jason
Hey RJ,
Thanks for the update! Man, don't sweat the release date. Your fans are not going anywhere; if anything it just gives people more time to discover you. On the other hand, be careful not to fall into the 'perfectionist's trap' of waiting until you feel it is absolutely perfect. That's a sure fire way to get nothing done. My guess is what you have right now is more than enough to meet your fans expectations. So take your time, just don't take too long LOL. Oh and for the reasons you mentioned (as well as some you didn't), I hope you find a way to distribute and market your music all on your own. You don't need a label, an attorney maybe, but not a label.
Thanks again for the love on my 'messin with a guitar sound' vid and faving it. You're an inspiration and I wish the best for you.
SBT
Hey bro, awesome to hear from you. Just keep up what you're doing and finish it whenever you think it's ready. Keep it real brah
Dylan
Ronald,
Thanks for the update. Like many I'm sure, I was looking forward to the release this month, but it's all good. Whether it's this month, or even 6 months from now, the devoted, including myself, will be here waiting for you.
I was actually in my car the other day listening to your first CD, thinking of the new CD release. I stopped at a fast-food joint to grab some food and posted on the drive-thru was a sign that read, "Please be patient, perfection takes time." Not to compare your music to fast food by any stretch, the sign did relay a good message now that I look back on it.
Take your time and have fun, we all know that better things come to those who wait. Afterall, patience is a virtue!
Michael
Hey Ronald,
You just do what you gotta do, man. You're makin some real sick music, and nobody's gonna have a problem with how you do it if you're just perfectin your vision of it. Keep at it, no pressure - your music, your pace. You aren't gonna lose any fans cause you took time to perfect your music!
Take it easy,
E.Dunder
Hey Ronald...
Yeah of course we want the album as soon as possible... but only because you rock man!
Do what you gotta do to stay real to yourself. I'd rather wait an extra month or three and have an album that you love, than get a rushed version now that you regret not having some extra time.
Just keep us posted on the updates!
~Sean
Good to get another update on the album status:) Whatever you do, don't rush it, even though we'll have to wait a few more months to get our hands on it, make sure you finish it properly, a rushed album won't have the same longetivity as a finished one:)
Thanks for the update. Although I admit I am a bit upset to hear about the delay, I know it's all going to be worth it in the end.
Keep up the good work, bud!
So looking forward to the Messing with a Guitar Sound track!!
hey RJ !
I'm loving every bit of your music and it keeps me going through the day.
Thx for everything. Wish you the best with your new born album :)
lov from paris
Sup RJ.
Don't worry about finishing the album in december. You and everyone who listens to your music will be much happier if you wait and finish when YOU think it's done.
-The Hawwaiian
ronald,
im glad i found out about you and your music.. you inspired me to put more effort into making my own music. keep up with your positive message man there aren't enough people like you out there. and seriously i could wait till summer 09 for this new album it sounds amazing so far.
keep havin' fun
Hey RJ,
Take your time bro, I know it'll be worth it!!
well dang i have to say that all my relatives were asking me what i wanted for christmas and the only thing i could think of was your CD. but as long as you make sure it is epic beyond all belief (like your last CD) then i wll wait for as long as it takes!
Keep up the good work!
YOW!!!
just as all the other said:
You better do not push yourself too hard, you know.
I prefer waiting some more time to getting an album that isn't really you~
have fun with the last piece of work
I was gonna get your new album for myself as a christmas present. ;(
I'll buy it anyway, whenever you're done...
Duuuuudeeee are you kidding me? Your F'n amazing man, you've just inspired me to pick up the keyboard again.
Keep up the awesome work, man. I'm waiting patiently along with everyone else. Take your time and don't over-work yourself. A request though, you should talk some more in your videos like you used to. It makes you easier to relate to and what not. Plus its just interesting to hear your enthusiasm for what you do.
Hey Ronald,
Just from the comments here that I've read so far, it seems that your fans back you up 100%...as do I. Only you are going to know when its right...as you found out, producing is much more challenging than creating. Take your time.
What may be helpful is just work on a song at a time, get it just the way you want it, and then work on the next the same way. Once you get that song the way you want it to sound...then stop. Move on. In time, you're done...with a CD full of perfection.
If a block occurs...stop, get away from it. Maybe work on something else, or just get away from it altogether for awhile. Then come back and try again.
I know this all sounds pretty straightforward, but it sometimes helps if you actually see it from someone else who's on the outside looking in.
In any event, your fans are loyal, and we will wait patiently for you...we will back you 100% because we know what you are truly capable of. Good luck and keep going.
I will buy the physical cd this time.
Great music!!
some might consider the deadline to be uintil 31.des, from the decipher of the headline, i dont mind waiting to next christmas tho:P
also, imo, the best of ur throwing fire edits is the one on youtube called "throwing fire, reuploaded better audio this time" etc.
messing with guitar sound = kickass
merry christmas and easter too if nessesary :)
still waiting~ my love~!!! hehehehe..
Ronald, I think everyone agrees that you shouldn't even have to establish a deadline. Just surprise us...and if it has been too long just give us a YouTube video to keep us hungry.
Dude you got made talent son. your music be ill as ever. I'm trippin out how amazing your stuff is. I heared your stuff today in my friends store at the mall. He told me it was this crazy guy named ronald jenkees.
So digging your music man. Keep it up, hope you make it big or something like that man. Your awesome keep on playing on.
About to buy your cd. Your very inspirational man
Jenkees,
the reason people love your youtube stuff is because it's raw you. it's improvised music and it sounds great.
don't polish your music so much that you're left with nothing but written music everywhere and bass hits and a few chords.
it's kinda like going to a bar and talking to a girl. most girls arent interested in guys who put up facades and have a lot of experience or who have lines. they like the guys who are genuine and truly passionate. keep that genuine-ness in your music. that's what we're all eating up.
that being said, if it's taking longer, whatever, none of us mind waiting it out for a new album release.
i didn't mean to sound like a label guy, i was just telling you how i feel, fan to artist. I love your stuff man, keep it up.
keep it up man, great music so far
Hey there Ronald!
Allthough I can't wait for your second CD to come out, please take all the time you need to finish it! You and only you are the one who knows when the CD is ready to be released. If you're not 100% comfortable with it yet just take the extra time.
Keep it up, because you rock!!
Greets from the Netherlands.
Don't be hasty, from what I've seen it will be pure awesomeness, just like your first album!
:D
RJ,
Don't be hasty
Keep it tasty.
I am just now setting an appointment with a neurosurgeon.
I will need him when my head explodes from the impact of your delicious tunes.
Waiting patiently for you to blow my mind,
Brom
RJ,
Wow, you've got a good sound and the un-pressured creativity is apparent.
Hey, can you put 'disorganized fun' on an album? Maybe an additional remix of it as well?
sincerely,
C-
Take your time with your beautiful music!
Thank you for sharing your process with us.
Sincerely,
Evelyn
Ronald, i write you from ukraine! i can do some mistake in my letter! I like your musik, witch you made! This is the best what I ever seen! You are the best! I am waiting for your second cd!!!
Your big fanat from Ukraine, Serega!
Первый альбом скачал с торрентов. Посмотрев видео STS9 Collab очень захотел купить диск! Это прекрасная музыка должна стать прекрасным подарком на новый год!
We enjoy your music very much. What makes it all the more meaningful is knowing how much fun you have creating it. Time is art.
RJ,
I'm glad that you're doing the next album on your own schedule. I think its important to keep the creative process fun and at your leisure. Looking forward to CD :) Keep up the good work!
hi,
I love the way you compose, I love your music, I love your first album, and even if your second album is released only in January it's not embarrassing, it will be like a second Christmas ^ ^. (Sorry for my english)
Ronald-
Thanks for the update bro...as everyone above has said - don't sweat the release date...we all know the new album is gonna dope as hell, just like the last one was. Take your time man, enjoy the holidays, and, to quote the second comment by Brian -
"RJ, your music frequents my everyday routine, and whenever I get the chance I tell anyone who deserves to catch your vibe about you."
Couldn't have said it better myself. Keep up the great work and your awesome attitude, and once again, thanks so much for what you do.
Hey man, no worries about the later release. I'm glad to hear you're fine tuning and working at your own pace. Besides, I'm sure other people have bigger things in their own lives to worry about than CD releases, so don't let the pressure get to you!
That being said, I think southboundtraveler has a good point about not falling into the "trap of perfectionism". Don't settle with something you know you can improve, but don't work yourself into an unending cycle of never finishing because it doesn't seem "perfect". I mean, as far as I'm concerned, you could pretty much just throw your youtube jams onto a CD and I'd be stoaked lol.
I love your first CD. Keep up the fun.
First off, I feel as if I am completely out of the awesome loop that is you! LOL. I was just browsing on my iPhone and happened to see one of your YouTube clips. Great stuff. So, naturally, I'll have to buy your first cd now. I'm completely blown away. I bought my ex a Korg for Christmas a few years back. I guess I underestimated the potential. And, hindsight being 20/20 and all that, I probably should have kept it for myself. It looks like a lot of fun. I might just have to make that investment again.
Okay, enough ranting. Bottom line, thanks for reminding me how much fun those boring piano lessons were--- after the teacher left and I got to play my own stuff. And I think I'll start my violin lessons again. Strangely, you're not only overwhelmingly talented but unknowingly motivational.
Thanks again
Faith
--- or in your own words... Peace out...
Patiently waiting for your new album haha. I do hope that it comes out before Christmas lol.
Ron,
I love everything you make and your most recent stuff has got everything that I've been looking for when it comes to music.
I'm an Electrical Engineer and I jam out to your stuff while walking to class or working on my Fourier Series homework for Linear and Control Systems.
I've spread the word to my friends about your awesomeness. All we want for Christmas is a new Jenkees CD. However, we don't need it if it isn't finished. All real fans of music know that having pushy deadlines for music only hinders the performance of the artist.
Take your time, the pressure is off. Until then we'll be patiently waiting.
Ronald,
As a lot of people have already stated, no worries!! I would much rather you take your time and have fun (would produces beautiful music) as opposed to rushed and maybe leaving you (Ronald) unsatisfied with what you put out. I love your music, and I'll be waiting until you release it to buy it, I plan on buying your 1st CD when your 2nd CD comes out (the physical one that is), I figured it would be easier on the shipping. Anyways, take care man, and keep doing what you do best!
-Matt
What everyone said about taking your time and enjoying yourself whilst working your second album must be something no one would disagree with, especially not me. I must say, however, that I can barely wait for the release as I can listen to "Disorganized fun" and "Throwing fire" and the others on youtube over and over and over.
Ronald, you must be the person with the most positive feedback on the net. Out of all thousands of comments on youtube and here, maximum 1 or 2 per month are not all 5/5 but instead 4/5 which isn't too bad either. This proves that you are truly amazing Ronald, know that!
Swede who never before commented on a musician's website but felt that he had to cause you're just so damn good!
Glad to see you're still at it man, I can't wait for your new album! :)
Love yer music. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Take Your Time. Rushing yourself, would change your music.
Thank You
waaaaaaoooow....well... first off, this is some great sounding works you have been putting out, also thank youtube for me finding you, i had a friend favorite two of your songs, so i thought i should see why... after the first one i was amazed.. the second one left me speechless. keep up the good work and happy holidays!!!
Take your time bro. Your music is amazing. You cant rush perfection, its all good.
You rock,
Jerrod
Take your time Ronald, I waited for your first, I will wait for your second!
Take care!
RJ,
Don't feel pressured about the release date. Really.
If the second album is anything like the first it'll be well worth the wait.
I'd also like to thank you for inspiring me to break out an old keyboard and jam out with it. It is WAY too much fun. Of course, not as good as any of the stuff you make.
Chris.
Man I've been waiting since the moment an album was mentioned pretty much. But watching you work and seeing things come along has been worth it.
I vote for the album name to be Late Summer, by the way.
Man , I really wait your second album :D I love your music, I listen it everyday , even at school , the teacher says : Mike stop listening music with your mp3 player ! & I say : did you said music ? excuse me , this is Ronald Jenkees ! " My dad likes your music too ! even my sister and her husband :D we are some peeps here crazy about your music ! we even have a mini-fan-club :D many greetings from : Mike ,Alin, Mike, Lija ,Mike ,Darius...[ we are 3 of Mike :D] Please excuse my broken English ! We Will all celebrate here your album release :D seriously :D YOU ARE THE GOD OF MUSIC !
KEEP IT UP ! WE LOVE YOU !
Hey Ronald,
Greetings from Australia. Just a short message to let you know that you have a ton of fans down this way!
We all patiently await the release of your second album, Looking forward to it.
I have a question in regards to a song you have on youtube titled "A fun beat from outer space (an experimental improv jam)" I just wanted to know if you had made a final of that, when it would be available and where could i get a copy
Thanks Mate Keep up the great work I can tell you are very passionate about it and you are a great inspiration to many!
Not even a problem man. My buddies and I are juiced, you rock man.
Shame on the masses for pressuring the King. You don't rush a tortured genius, my friends, that's how you get guys like Pablo Picasso sending out his severed ears as Christmas gifts. He already walks on carpet and linoleum, you want him to walk on water, too? RJ has raised the bar so high that the rest of the musical community lost sight of it long ago, and now he's all alone out front. This is where it gets tricky, my friends. RJ now competes against himself. Improving magnificence will always require a pound of flesh, but the desperate struggle to beat yourself to the finish line will drive you mad. No one knows this better than RJ, who thankfully now is merely struggling with insomiatic bursts of creative muse. It could get worse if we keep beating the drums for a release.
Always remember: Mozart died young. Picasso went nuts. Salvador Dali grew a mustache and then completely lost his grip. Beethoven went deaf in straining for that music only he could hear. Look what happened to Nietzsche. In the end he went mad and had to be committed to the care of his mommy. Is that really what you want for the hip-hop King?
The trail is littered with the fallen, my friends, with the handful of musical geniuses that tried for too much and ended up blowing out their cerebral cortexes. I say we throttle back, give the master some room to bob his genius cranium, and let his new album be brought forth in its time.
All hail the King.
Great artist, keep up the work. Perfection takes time mate and so should you.
Hey man, don't worry too much about getting the cd out ASAP. Unless you're meeting a deadline for some corporation, I'm pretty sure the fans will agree that we'd rather have quality music than just to listen to it right here right now when it's not fully developed the way you want it to be.
There are alot of artists out there whose music content, although great, is going down the drain slowly. One of my favorite Chinese artists right now (Jay Chou), although keeping his promise of publishing an album a year, is pretty much going through that in my honest opinion, and I'm pretty sure it's because of his desire to meet his promise that he's not able to put in his full effort to make the song better. Not enough time for him to work out the details.
If you have to push back the release date to be able to do what you think will make the song exactly the way you want it, I'd rather wait for that quality b/c then that quality is all you.
Eeey Ronald, I freak out with your work since some months ago! I've made a playlist in youtube with some of your songs and man.... You are becoming my work sound track, hehe!
I really doubt the world was created in 7 days, .... no way! Stroke of genius like yours should also take time dude!
Keep it up and ... put a new jam on youtube man! It shouldn't be a problem for you to improvise a bit for some minutes ... hehe! ;-)
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Pieces Of music ronald, keep it up. I was Wondering if you were ever going to play at shows. Post something if you have an itch for live audience. Hopefully ill see you in the future at a show! Peace!
Haha my man Jenkees stressing?! No way! haha. :D I know you got this. If you feel uncreative or the inspiration has flown out and the hole is just sucking you in through the deep layers of "Work", I usually do a meditation that brings me back. I close my eyes, sit in a chair with my head erect, breathe in air and "Feel" the air without my thoughts in it or labeling and feel my body awake,(That tingling feeling), and when I'm done I revive! Sometimes it dont work, because my mind is grabbing my attention too much but I feel and assume that you have thoughts that you are riding against. People will have to be patient, because thats JENKEES. Jenkees delivers soul, classical, newschool, and original material! Sometimes I go for a walk and try my best to do so without my mind telling me of what I should do. In the words of Einstien, To solve the problem, you must use a new thought to solve it, instead of the one that created it! Human Love Jenkees! Rock the world would ya! ^^
just have fun lol. I like your outlook of life.
keep it up but take your time.
Life's a one chance opportunity, take it or leave it.
I'm very excited to hear your new album. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. Just don't pull an Axel Rose on us Ronald! Lol.
Your music is great Mr. Jenkees!
Just take your time.
I will buy your next album for sure.
Thanks and good luck!
Take your time! And when you're finally done, make sure you got three CDs ready to sign and ship off to me.
C'mon, do not give us this BS, late summer -> December ->.
Finish the damn album already.
Old album is boring me to death.
Just kidding:)
&Have fun Christmas.
really good guy playing really nice music
thanks again
Hey man! Writing from Hungary,and we (my fellows and me) love your music! Sorry to hear that the album is delayed,but with a good reason.:) Don't feel pressured,feel relaxed instead and make wonderful music...
Weeee Lovee Youuu Heeeeereee! (Walter from Jeff Dunham's show :D)
Ronald.. your album is like girls, the more desired and hard to aquire you are for them, the more they will want you. Same here, the longer it takes for the album to appear we want it more. So take your time and shoot us with your best.
Greetings from Romania.
P.S: Excuse my english :>
man, you inspire me, you making another album would not be so much a requirement as it is a gift. The "Stay Crunchy" mix is in my opinion the best piece of work you have ever done and can't wait to here the new stuff you got in the works. And remember, you can NEVER have too much fun =P, the more fun you have the harder you rock out! Peace out and have a great christmas!
Oh yeh, greetings from United Kingdom btw! I've shown your STS9 collab piece to all my friends and they think your a genius. And that is not a lie...
Man, I love your work. Ever since I found about you I have been addicted to your songs. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for your new album!!
Круто играешь парень настроение поднимает музыка, но и тревога и характер в ней яркие.
disorganized fun is the most amazing song i have ever heard.
Dude you rock the world with your music! I'm sure we can all wait! can't wait to hear the new music. Dude one of these days I'm going to see you recieve a grammy! You an inspiration in real life and on the internet. There's enough music and sounds on your cd to keep people entertained until you are ready to release the second cd!
YOUR FRIEND AND LOYAL FAN,
Leroy Jenkees
you do good work. don't mess with your rep by releasing something you don't think is ready.
get it there and we'll be waiting.
I cant wait for the 2nd album to come out, I will order it as soon as it hits!
O man, since I bought the first album basically right after it came out, I've been itching for more.
O baby! Can't wait buddy
Dont worry RJ! no matter how long you take I'm confident you will live up to all the expectations!
Keep up the great work!CHEERS!
Hey Ron....don't feel pressured about your second album.Although pressure makes diamonds perfection takes time. We as fans have to remember that all good things come to those who wait. As a big fan of your music and the Motif XS it amazes me how creative you are. Please keep doing what your doing. I have no doubt your name will one day be common place in the music industry. Merry Christmas
Hi Ron! (bet it's okay as a nick)
I've listened to your music for about 2 days now and I'm already a big fan of your music! I'm from Sweden and I dont think theres so many of us up here thats listening or dont even know who you are, but I'll try to get as many of my friends and other guys to start seeing ur vids on ytube and prolly even buy the album of yours.
I'd like you to put some of the songs that are my favorites on the second album or at least I hope u will, cause it would be much easier for me to listen to your stuff if I'd have it on itunes,instead of always gotta login in on ytube and put it on.
The songs are: "Throwing Fire", the song that get's played on ur channel(STS9 Collab - Using their drums to jam with!! FUN! is the name on ytube atleast but not sure of the name), "Star Chrunchy" and "Disorganized fun"
If your already going too and even did note it on a website that you will have these on the album I'm sorry for missed it :)
PS: I think ur one of the best and most creative artists I've seen and got so famous by the way you have and the sound ur playin is to me unique and very special :D and now i cant even wait for the second album and maybe even finding new really nice sounds.
Feel free if you got time to mail me. // Olle :D
lol, forgot to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to you Ron and to the rest of the fans :D
Stay Chrunchy is the right name spelled worng :)
It's late here you now mistakes happen :P
well good night.
After randomly stumbling on your music. It was a must buy.

I agree with the rest of your fans. Take your time and don't get stressed out. Stick with your own advice and just have fun. Much respect Ron.

Hey Ron,
I'm a 14yr old who is starting my journey through fl studios, and i can only dream to be half as good as you, but as a fellow musician and fan, i would like to say: You are amazingly awesome, and take as much time as you need to publish this album. I cant wait to hear it. I've heard the sample of Stayin Crunchy and i LOVE it!
Thanks for sharing your musical genious!
-Josh
RJ = We are waiting for your album to have a party . Cannot wait.

RJ, your music is so great and inspiring, that we can't wait no longer for the new album :) Stay crunchy.
Your Russian fans.
Man ur work is awesome. u should try to contact tiesto or paul van dyk and mail them your tracks - they are open for newcommers in music industry ( as it was with my neighbour whos tracks are supported by tiesto and are on his CD !! - meaning Hensha from Gdansk - u can find him at myspace. ) i know u might think they are mostly trance dj's artists but they got so much dedication for the music and ur tracks are rly chilling so maybe they would work something out with it !!
keep up the good work. best regards from Poland - haha u got supporters here too ::)

Ronald,

Hey Ronald. I absolutely love your vibes man. I can sit here and talk for hours about your music and talent. I have told at least 30 different people about your songs and videos. Every person also has told many more. I am super excited about your second cd. Please please please don't rush it. I know you haven't and everyone appreciates it. I can tell that you put a lot of heart and soul into your work and that is what makes it amazing. Keep up the work and can't wait to jam out to your cd! Thanks again and by the way, I can't get enough of throwing fire!!!! AMAZING!!!! Thanks!!!
Hey RJ,

Take your time finishing up that second album because you have set a high standard with the first one! I have no doupt that you will make it happen and that it will be even better. You inspired me from the moment i saw you're youtube posts. You give your 110% in your music and it trensends in it's greatness. Everyone should have your attitude and passion towards what they love. Props again my friend.

I´m from Germany so my englisch maybe a litle worst, so please take care ;o).
Well it´s quite easy ... Your music gives me more than i´ve ever heard bevore i really .. Hmmm how shuold i explain ?? I got emotions in this music.
So long take care a plz stay like you are
Phenomenal!! I dig your music Rodney, and am very inspired, thanks!
Merry Christmas and Happy New 2009 Year, Ronald
Merry Christmas Ronald and all of the best for you in 2009! I hope this coming year is your best one yet!!
You really are such an amazing artist, and I can respect you so much for being able to stay true to yourself and your music. I can tell your are being truthful when you say you just do this for fun, because on your website you said how if people can't afford your songs, you don't care if they pirate your music. That is just awesome, you are the man, and I'm definently looking forward to your second album.
HAVE SOME AWESOME HOLIDAYS!
I'm chewing my own arms off with anticipation!
Hey RJ,
Man, I like your songs. Watch your improvs on YouTube almost every day and am dying to buy your second cd. Hoped to get it under the Xmas-tree, but well I guess we'll have to wait a little longer...
I promise you it will be the first cd I buy in 2009, even if it will come out in September or so. Have an awesome and great new year with lots of musical fun!
Sil - The Netherlands
Russia is waiting for your new album!!!
Hey RJ,
Take your time with the new album, we all expect something spectacular, and amazing things can not be rush. Everyone loves you and your music and we can all wait a little bit longer for something great. Keep it coming!
Mitch
o yeah, Merry X-mas and Happy New Year ;-)
Still rocking out to the first album RJ, you take your time but remember to have fun, and perfection is not worth sacrificing the fun and love for what your doing. Happy holidays my man, hang in there.
Don't rush perfection. Take your time.
Keep it G status foo.
Hey man you have a record label yet?
We're looking for someone experienced as yourself Ronald.
You inspire me to be good at what I do not because you're so good at music, but because you look like you're having so much FUN while you do it, with a big grin on your face all the time. Keep it up.
Hey Ronald,
Greetings from Romania. Just a short message to let you know that you have a ton of fans down this way!
We all patiently await the release of your second album, Looking forward to it.
Thanks Mate Keep up the great work I can tell you are very passionate about it and you are a great inspiration to many!
Found out about you through spikedhumor.
I must say, I simply -cannot- get enough. From Stay Crunchy to Sts9 Collab I am hooked. I will always pay for your music. It is more than worth it.
It speaks to me.
Thank you.
Oh yeah, and as a gamer I can appreciate the "its done when its done" philosophy. Nothing like this should be rushed. I can't wait. :D
...and a happy new year ;)
Keep up the amazing music man, you are my new favorite artist and I'm going to order a few of your CD's soon.
Hey RJ, Happy new year from Australia brother. We're expecting wonders from you so take your time man - no pressure, no hurry. take care of yourself :)
Happy new year from France!! Take your time !
Happy new year from Toronto! Another eagerly waiting fan :)
Hey ronald, can't wait to see the album you put out, your youtube videos are inspiring and quite frankly rock. I check the website almost every day for updates.
=D.
I love your work so so much. I can't wait till your next CD comes out!

We are waiting for your new cd...
Could you give us an update?
Regards, Ward
Даешь второй альбом!!!
So, Throwing Fire will be on your second album?
Personally i think thats your best beat xD
I have only just purchused your first album, and loved it!
Cant wait for this next one,
DONT RUSH IT!
Hello Ronald.I live in Ukraine.so my English is bad.Can you tell me please what instruments do you use in track"disorganized fun on a really really fun beat"???
Romania is waiting for your album !
hey ronald i am patiantly waiting for all the albums i bought from this website and from amazon. i bought five as xmas gifts for my cousins.keep up the good work bye
Just enjoy yourself, we'll wait. :)
Tutman14
I can't agree with you anymore, throwing fire is his best and I can't wait for it!
Germany is waiting.
But germany has enough time ;D
yo, I've just been turned on to ur stuff and it's sweet, raunchy, explosive, melodic, a bit tangy, with a dash of humor. I love ur style and I'm lookin forward to hearing all of ur tracks besides ur youtubes. Take care, good luck, and keep that crunchy shit coming.
Was just turned on to this stuff by a friend. Absolutely incredible music. Quite possibly some of the best melodic stuff I've heard. Keep up the good work and I'll be purchasing a few CDs tomorrow. Already can't wait for the second CD!
Ronald,
You are the reason I wake up in the morning
Keep rocking
hey ronald really anticipating the CD, wondering if you got some more info about the CD, not really a release date, more or less the amount of songs and maybe a couple of the songs that are going to be on there.
thanks, love your music making me want to try creating tunes like you.
Alex...
I purchased the old CD I guess *g* but that doesn't matter. Awaiting your new CD to purchase it too. Keep on doin your thing! I love it!
And PS: Are you just working on a CD or is there more? You can't just doin CDs. You were born for more!
I Think about doin music for Blockbuster on Cinema or something like that... Giving concerts with an Orchestra or a live band F*** that would be awesome!
Greetings, Daniel
The suspense is killing me!!!
Take it easy
-Dunder
Ronald, you're an unmitigated badass. I'm hoping CD #2 will include the stuff you've got on Youtube; Throwing Fire, Stay Crunchy, and that STS9 Collab jam; or maybe you have even *better* stuff cooking... :)
I picked up the first CD and I cannot wait for the second. Well, I don't want to wait, but I'll wait as long as it takes to get it where you want it.
RJ! Man I can't say how much I enjoy your stuff. With all the haters and imitators out there you're a breath of fresh air and nasty beats! I bought your album and am really diggin it but I really can't wait to hear the next one. I did have a question though, and I'm not sure if you've ever posted it, but what songs are for sure on the next album? My favorites are the Throwing Fire and the STS9 remix, are they gonna be on there?? And, if I may, I would like to give some purely goodwilled constructive criticism. It seems to me that you cut loose more on your YouTube videos than on the actual recordings. I get so fired up watching your videos, the songs on the album almost sound a bit turned down. It still hits hard man! just a thought
Ryan
RJ,
Amazing stuff! I definitely agree with Ryan P, take that crazy solo stuff to the next CD. You're amazingly talented, my hat is off to you.
Your songs ARE awesome don't let anybody change that. But that is not why I wahted to write this thing... I have a problem with getting the "Stay Crunchy" song in a MP3 file (help)or e-mail. It would realy help
Ronald!
I just became a huge fan! I even customized one of your song (Canon in D) to an iphone ringtone! :)
I can't wait for the 2nd album to come out! But I will be patient just like the others!
I was just checking youtube for hopefully some new videos of you doing what you do best. You have a great talent . This summer I will be looking for that album.
JENKEES! Now, my boy, I don't want to put too much undue pressure on you, my boy, but.... *Puffs big cigar* See here, we've got Mr. Goldwyn himSELF asking, "When's that Jenkees boy going to deliver our new product?" We've got projections, here, my boy, you see? You remember your obligation to the People?
"And did we tell ya the name of the game, Boy? They call it riding the Gravy Train" -PF
Keep doing what you love my friend!
Your beats are ridiculous its worth the wait!
Please don't feel pressured
Some musicians can talk 1-3 years to finally release something good
If what you release is good, it will be worth the wait.. but you know that already
Good luck on your project!
cheers!
Man, I'm digging your music so much! I want to tell you to hurry but I know you need to take your time and get it the way you like it, so I'll just say, keep on keep'n on! My Jenkees CD fund is burning a hole in my pocket, though!
I found you!
Trolling YouTube. My favs to date are Stay Crunchy and Throwing Fire!!
You are totally talented.
Peace, Wren (PS - I'm from the Bluegrass state as well...NKY!)
I can't wait to hear your 2nd album, I really like your music, you are one of a kind :-)
It makes me happy. So damn happy. Fuck yeah!
Ronald,
When somebody plays with soul, it cuts through likes and dislikes and goes straight to the heart of the listener. That is you Ronald, and I thank you for it. This is what I need for my day to be whole.
I first discovered your work earlier this week, and I must say it had me at the first tone. I love to watch your youtube clips, because I enjoy watching you play when you enjoy it that much.
Much love from cold Norway.
Ronald,
Not only is your music inspirational but so are you. Only word I can come up with is AMAZING! and that even seems to fall short. Between your personality and your creativity there are not many musicians that even come close to where you are as a human being. Keep up the undescribable work you do and good luck in the new year!
hey buddy,
still patiently waiting for your new album (I'm excited). I was just hoping you could update us with a new post and let us now how things are going?? We're all waiting in anticipation, but take your take your time. Hope all is well.
Hi Ronald,
No pressure, art takes time. Whatever you do will be great.
-Meg White
Ronald,
Don't over think it, man. Let go of what you got, and leave some for the next album.
-Don Lawler
wow, amazing work! just discovered your work tonight via Aviary!
this is some truly amazing stuff. it's great to see something entirely fresh, sound clean, my ears love it.
Hurry up! :D I can't wait for the album any longer! I must have more awesome music soon!
Don't want you to rush the album and am fully aware it takes time and you want to make sure it is perfect for all the fans when you release it but some more frequent updates on this blog as to the progress would help ease the pain of waiting.
No pressure bro. We all have faith in you that this next CD is gonna be absolutely amazing man! Keep it up and we'll follow you to the ends!
-Steve
Dude, I'm going nuts over here! Please give us a date for you next album, Your album is the only thing I'm looking forward to right now!
бля ну сколько можно, давай второй альбом... =)
It's good that your pressures are positive ones, and to not have a label breathing down your neck. Just keep up the work, and when the album is complete, it is complete. You'll know when, and when you know, that is when the album will be perfect. Your first one was awesome, I jam out to it in my car all the time. Every one of my friends loves your music, and get an even bigger kick out of the signed copy I got.
~Adam
Ronald,
Damn boy, since day one on youtube when i first saw one of you jams... i was sold, so was your album!
I ride BMX flatland, and with your beats i can create my own art!
Thanx and i'll wait for the new album nd i;ll probably make a promo vid with your beat if your cool with it?
Pce!
Hmmmmmmm, I'm visualizing myself putting the CD into the drive and blasting "Messin' with a guitar sound".
Ronald, I'm a huge fan. I have to say- BEG even... please allow us to download something new! I want to buy both your new and old cd (when the new one is ready) but I wonder if maybe you have 1 or 2 songs done for the new one, could you put them up for purchase so that we can buy them?
Either way- you are absolutely amazing. Can't wait to hear more
100% talent is what you have... Words just cant express your sound... If your every in Dallas, Tx. let me know ill come see any show you have...
Your music - super! It`s greate. Goodlack and sun forever!
Shmel from Ruussia
Waiting patiently Ronald. Although, I do feel a vague (as vague as you like) deadline would satisfy a LOT of people, EVEN if you don't meet it! Keep at it.
OMG I cannot wait any longer. I am going to spend my money on something else.
.
.
.
.
.

Noooo....just kidding! :P The only thing I regret was buying the iTunes version of your CD (lossy audio quality) and not buying the physical version to support you even more. I am willing to pay as much as possible.
But what should I do in the mean time? Just wait, that is the only option at this moment. And that is what I am going to do.
Ronald, lets do this! Can't wait to hear the new stuff, throwing fire is spectacular!
dude you are the best ronald
I'm gonna buy 2 more copies of your cd
I've been watching your videos for weeks - i'm buying your old and new cd together when it comes out..........please post an update on how the progress is!
I agree Eric,
Ronald would you be able to post an update soon or your album status.
Im really hoping it will be out before Feb.
Im gona guy it as a B'day prezzi for a freind lol.
Pleeeeeease update Ronald.. been waiting for so long for this new album.
Cant wait like all the others!! Can you maybe give us a little taste up one of the completed songs on itunes to pacify us? or update the website. Thanks man your frickin AWESOME!
I can wait like all the other people...but I wouldn't mind you giving us a update! It could be a sentence for all I care!! "I'm almost done with (insert song)......the album is about (? percentage) done." All we want is a hint!! Keep up the amazing work....and as always
Keep Jammin!!
Ronald, no more suspense! We need your new work. Keep up the great music!
Ronald I was overwhelmed by your first album, its one of a kind and a huge number of people love it! You made a whole new genre in the world of mixing and adding your own stlye right in the middle... The King of the Future of Music.. Ronald Jenkees!
Don't makes promises you can't keep. Simple.
hurry the FUCK up maaan. too much suspense, i need it like a fat kid needs cake!
I agree with Alex. Do not make promises you cannot keep. Eventually people are disappointed with you, because they cannot wait. Just look at videogames en other albums that just do not come out. There are already substitutes for that (Porter's five forces model), which means that you are fucked eventually.
But okay, then only the true fans will buy the album. I bought your first album on iTunes, but I am planning to buy the physical cd this time. If this really takes this long I do not know if I am going to buy it then, because in the mean time I bought some different albums and forgot about this one.
No, just kidding. Just tell us about your future release plans ok. Quality is important, but delivering on time is also important.
Is it commin' or no?
Hey Roland Jenkees,
I like Your Personality & Your Keyboard Music, too!-D
If You ask Me I would like to recommend You to work with "EA"!
"EA" s.f. Electronic Arts' => You can create Music 4 Games!-o
You have got Talent & You're a Nice Guy => I will Standby!
Take Your Time & do not forget => "Life makes Sense!" !-o
I wish You All the Best & Success in Life!
Thank You 4 Listening,

SEEYA!
Ronald, your music is so inspiring. Thanks for bringing quality sound to my ears. Your great.
Cant wait for the new cd.
~Aaron
Can you hurry up with the album guy? I just bought 3 of your songs and I want those sweet new songs on my iPod
you say summer, now its mid january and no album still.
at least give us an update.
Hey man, love your stuff. It's funny how many people are impatient for your new album to be released, I won't say I'm not. Just take it as a compliment that they want your music that bad. Lol. My own personal opinion - quality over speed. Don't sacrifice quality to get it out early. Also, I absolutely love your improvisation, I'm not sure if your including any of that - but I think it sounds better than alot of the more 'refined' stuff on your first album.
Anyways, keep jammin man =]
Hey!
Eagerly anticipating the new album!
Keep up the good work!

Throwing Fire....one of the best songs ever. I can't wait for the new album! I have checked your site every day for the past 2 months!
Alex
ooooo you soo cool!!!!I wont meried in you!!!!when your next album get to the Russia???tnx for your music.Good bye)))
Hey there Ronald,
While I fully agree on that you should take as much time as you feel you need to finish your CD, I do think you should not "over-edit" your songs.
For instance the improv version of "Guitar Keyboard" which you recorded and put up on youtube has this wonderfull raw edge to it. I think I am speaking for most of the Jenkees fans if I state that it would be a shame if this raw, spontanious edge to it would be lost because of overediting.
That being said, I also think you should go do your thing live on stage and if you plan on going live, make sure to come over to Europe, told all my friends about your youtube videos and they all loved it!
Good luck on your CD and I bet it's gonne rock no matter what!

time to refresh your page. we dont need a new deadline, but a view words about "whatever"....
ciao
Dear Ronald
I was linked your youtube blogs in a games forums, and when I saw you play; I was completely blown away with not only your obvious talent for music; but also the amazing tunes you were playing. I just wanted to leave you a nice message because its always a pleasure to witness a person having fun in their own environment, no matter where or what that is. But I feel it goes beyond that with you, you inspire others and bring pleasure to others with your music.
Keep jamming and always make sure you keep having fun, don't get bogged down with stress and pressure, because all that will do is hinder your inspiration and creativity. Take time out for yourself and make sure you stay happy mate.

Hey Ronald,
i just found my way to yout website and were really impressed of your musci, really great. I found this link accidential by a World of Warcraft Movie and i'm happy. Great music man, keep it up.
Greetings from Germany (Southern)
As much as I'd like to agree with everyone here and say take your time, I'M DYING HERE, can't you give us a rough estimate? I had been counting down the days till December only to be teased... I trust you but for the love of God in the name of all this holy!
yours truly,
:)
Hola RJ. Im from Colombia... Let me tell you that the first record i saw was "disorganized Fun" from YOUTUBE.. Then i fell in love with ur melodies... I love it... And i also see how u get a lot of fun playing... Keep forward dude... bien hecho. Te envío un abrazo desde Colombia mi buen amigo Ronald. (Translation: Well done. I send u from Colombia a hug my good friend Ronald --> For lazies mind.. JEJE... Take care...
I meant, for Lazy Minds... JEJEJE, i wish u success!!
he wants 500 comments before he releases his cd.. gogo lol
C'mon Ronald this is gettin old for all of your long time fans...
Hey ronald. now i know everyone here is getting "ancy" to hear your new album, and you may not be done yet.. i also know many people here are getting rather rude with their demands for you to finish already.. but we do all understand, but at the least you need to give us an update regarding this album. Please.
honestly i agree you need to make sure not to over-edit it.. many of the songs on your first album were SOOO much better in their youtube release, when you re-edited them for the album it seemed to change the entire feel of most of them.... im sure i would love them if i hadn't heard the youtube version first, but i did, and they were amazing. please dont over-edit all of these new songs, throwing fire especially needs love, its perfect as is, don't need to change it much at all!
~chris
P.S. thank you again for all of your great work, please give us some sort of update!
It is true. By re-editing your work the song itself might not sound as pleasing as it did before.
You can compare it to writing a story. When you are done, you try to read what you have written down on paper. Be re-editing the whole thing the story will eventually end in another one, which does not have the feel, which is did before, becoming something that should not be...
Okay, but perhaps you have like personal problems or something like that. It could be a reason why you do not post any updates on your blog. If that is the case: everything is going to be alright :)
Still waiting for you new release. I guess eventually, because I bought your first album via iTunes the application will remind me of your release though.
Hey,
Stumbled over you six months ago. Been listening 30+ years. Heard something new. Thanks for those moments in music which become so few and far between as time goes on.
RJ, I wish you would put some of your YouTube stuff on a cd. that is some of the coolest fusion I've heard in ages
ian
Hey just wanted to say how much i love your stuff Ronald.
Take your time with your new stuff. Anything by RJ is definitely worth the wait. You can't rush perfection. :)
You don't need to have the album ready to post an update here. It has been far too long without and update and although thousands of us are patiently waiting on the album, updating your blog once in a while would at least let us know you even still pay attention to this site. If not here than do you have a Twitter account? Some news, any news would be better than feeling like all your fans are being ignored, new album or not.
Eh Ronald.....I just started listening to your insane beats/music a little over a month ago. I've only been able to hear what you have on you tube and just from hearing that....I'm definitely waiting to hear the new album release.!! If it takes a little time...then take it.! I wouldn't worry about "others" peer pressure cause "they" don't know whats it takes to do what you do.! And they definitely don't know whats going on in Ronald Jenkees world.! So keep up the good work and I'll be PATIENTLY waiting for the new release.!! Take care
I love your music and I'm willing to wait as long as it needs to be. Cuz I mean I've been listening to your new stuff you have on youtube for a long time and I think of how do it is. I loved your last album and I want this album to be just as good as your last. And I have a huge feeling your new album is going to be 10X better. I just love each new song you make more than the last.
Can't wait to hear what you have in store for us on the second album.
Just thought I'd let you know, my life would be complete if you ever did a collab with Ratatat
Cant wait for the 2nd album. I feel like i cant get enough of what you already have out. You have an amazing talent jenks
we're waiting the release for months....
what is taking so long RJ? i mean... i know it's hard work....
but we're crazy here for your new album ...
It's interesting when do you think the new deadline will be. And also, its very funny how many people check ur website daily. And you even don't have any advertisments anywhere. =)
Ronald,
Just checking on when the next C.D. will be out brother. I do have one request. When you get your new C.D. out, please put out a video programming an old 808.
There are a few vids out but I think the true talent has grown past these vintage machines.
In sacramento you have spread like wildfire, this second cd will only gas up the flames! ill need to get fireproofed before putin it in my cd player!
I know u probally heard this over a million times. but i cant wait for your second album, so i can buy your first one, along with the new one and have them both signed.
WHO DA MAN!!! YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!.....seriously though i can not stop watching your videos! and for some strange reason i find myself watching disorganized fun at least 10 times a day! if you came out with an album with 2 hours of that i would buy 100 copies..no lie.. that shit is SICK! (in a good way)
Ronald,
I StumbledUpon a video and one of the related videos was your keyboard-guitar solo. I am so amazed that so many great keyboarders like you are still coming out. You've had the greatest inspiration on my producing. Although I'm still a kid, still needing to do my homework first, while I walk home from school I listen to your music and it makes me feel so good, it's indescribable. Though it hasn't given me much ideas for my own music making, it sure inspires me not to give up and (like you've said many times) have fun with it. I wouldn't say that your new album will be much better than the last, because to me that a little bit more pressure on me also if I was told that. So just take your time, cause the more time you put into it, the better it will be.
Again thanks for the GREAT and uplifting inspiration

Mr. Jenkees,
Can't wait to be able to listen to your new tracks while I walk to classes. I check iTunes everyday to see if you have released your new material. You're keepin me on the edge of my seat man, but do what you gotta do to sleep easy on releasing your new album.
God Bless
