Finally done! I'm extremely excited. I had a lot of neat things accidentally happen in some of these songs. Took longer than I thought to get out, but I'm glad it did because of the way a few of these tunes progressed over time.
The album art was done in watercolor by Kori Michele Handwerker. She's the reason I can't wait to see what the actual physical copy looks like. I'm ordering them in a matte finish. They should be really neat.
Here are some more things about the new CD I think some people might want to know:
- iTunes: It's finally up! Click this hyperlink to buy from iTunes
- Physical CD: You can now order my new CD! All pre-orders (before Sept 10th) were shipped on schedule (Sept 10th). If you live outside the US, shipping usually takes 10-14 days, sometimes less.
- Physical CD Signing: I will still be signing the CD's if you buy 2 or more, including if you buy the old+new CD.
- New MP3 Store: Starting at about 2PM today, all downloads come from a new server. That means if you buy my CD, it should download pretty fast. Yeeah!!
- MP3 quality: 320 Kbps
PS. Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the about this new CD. REALLY REALLY appreciate them.
If you buy 2 or more physical CD's, I will unwrap the plastic and sign them
I'm willing to bet his year long silence is just a publicity stunt. He'll pop back into YouTube spotlight with something monumental! And I can't wait!
You are such an inspiration, hope you can keep giving back to the fans.....almost over a year since your last update and yet you still have people leaving comments, unbelievable
What up Ronald, you are awesome and inspire me to make music all the time. Thanks for the awesome songs and inspiration. Peace out !

Every month I come back and check this site to see if youve returned after your amazing release. I cant wait for when you do.
Hey its been so very long.
I expected that you would make another video on youtube introducing your 2nd CD as you did for the first one. many people have being asking you about you silence and for some more music. Everyone checks your blog, youtube and this website for new updates. please make a video even if its to say hi so we can be assured that you will still be making music. looking forward for a new video. Please reply to this.
BTW: you CD is MIND BLOWING!!
Whats going on Ronald?
Hey man Im currently deployed in South Korea and last night I requested ''Stay Crunchy'' In a club and the place went wild.
Love your Music man.Keep on making the beats
Ronald of earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our people drift and die
These walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy music videos from us
Lo, for there you still abide
Supertof,laat weer eens wat zien op YouTube .
Will you ever be planning on making an "Album". I really love albums, it gives me a chance to sit down for 45-60minutes and just listen to music.
What i mean by an "Album" is something like what Pink Floyd used to do bank in the day. It's time we get out of the 3-4 minute tune age, and listen to some real music.
Thanks, keep jamming.
Ronald,
Where are you dawg? We neeed you.
Sincerly,
The public
We miss you Ronald :( So f**king looking forward to hearing your next CD dude !! you are a music god
Aww man! I really don't want to just be another person complaining about your disappearance. I just assume you are super busy...but I was wondering if you still sign your CDs when we buy two of them.
I'm going to get them anyway because your music is additively delicious--I was just wondering though :)
I hope you REALLY know what your music does to/for us all.
For the person posting above me
Michela, I just bought the old+new CDs 2 weeks ago and they were signed, so I'd advise to buy them. I'd also advise you to buy 2 for your mom, 2 for your dad, and 2 for anyone else you know. Get Ronald PAID.
Nice CD. I love your music. I love U. :)
RJ was just mentioned in the first part of the Mixerman Radioshow by Ken Scott who according to wikipedia has worked as engineer on Beatles, Pink Floyd, Duran Duran and the likes. He said one of his sons introduced RJ to him and RJ is using/trying out a new drum product which allows the user to experiment withsimilar techniques as used on some old famous records or something like that. Hope I didn't get this too much wrong, go listen yourself, it was really interesting interview.
Ronald!
It's been way to long after your last post! Keep us up to date! We also would like to know how you are doing right now... Whats up, how are you doing!?
BTW It would be very cool ofcourse to have some new sound for my car system ;-) Are there any plans for a new album? I sure hope so!

Hi Ronald! You've got godlike skills! :D
I've been trying to come up with an explanation for your godlike musical skills ;P
The best idea I could come to think of, would be that Mozart & Beethoven merged into one person. And that person, is of course, YOU!:D
So keep up the awesome work!
Greetings from Denmark, Northern Jutland.
Morten, you are very close with your post above. Very, very close. Mozart and Beethoven ARE an integral part of The Mix, of course, but to nail RJ exactly you'd have to include some Rick James. There are those in the northeastern part of the USA who'd say you also need to whisk in just a dash of James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, or that cake don't rise under any conditions, if you get my meaning.
Stick the whole mash on simmer for about 6 hours, stirring occasionally, to distill it down to the very essence of music itself, then poor a bit of David Bowie over the top as a glaze. Cover with a hat and chill in front of a keyboard overnight to let it set. In the morning slip a hip pair of glasses on that bad boy, and what you'd have is a very close inanimate representation of the Greatest Thing That Ever Lived: Ronald Jenkees.
RJ You are beast enough said. Love your music wish you could reply.
Thank you. I'm shocked how cool you are playing.
Dude... Papa Roach is weak compared to you. You need to jump in with some old pros and do a ROCK record. The hip hop and techno is just messin' around. Rock is for pros. Im talkin you, Bruce kulick, dave grohl, Rex on the bass, then you get a line up of a ton of different singers, from every genre and do a super mix. DO IT! call me. LOL!
I hope nothing has happened to you O.O
It's been quite a while. Should probably update with a "I'm still alive." That way nobody panics :).
Who me? Panic...I'm not panicking...Ok maybe I am.
At any rate, I know you are busy, but if you have a high res version of your banner I'd love to make it a wallpaper :). It's very dramatic and well done.
Back to listening to Throwing Fire.
Awesome music! Grettings from Poland!!!
I just discovered your music for the first time yesterday on Pandora radio..... I just purchased both your CDs today lol..... you sir are truly an amazingly talented and inspiring individual.
hey ronald throwing fire is the shit and then some. i was wondering if you can mix and master some songs i have on my music myspace look me up my username is young dallas i am cooking on a grill with a baby blue shirt on comment if youd like i would love to hear fron you
Publicity stunt or not... This is getting ridiculous. I have purchased all of your albums, which were personally signed by you. In which case, one would assume that you are alive. Not to be pushy about it, but on the other-hand, to be VERY pushy about it... I need MORE!!!!
Where all the fat beats be at?? Your Aussie fans are waiting :D
no pressure but please make more music
your amazing dude, your such an inspiration. hope everything goes right for you. you have a bright future ahead. just dont get into the hole "famous" thing and let it get to your head, keep strong and do your thing and dont let anyone try making you different. be who you are.
Ronald Ur Amazing, Keep going and feed us with ur beautiful music.
Cheers From Iraq.
I don't know if you know just how much your music does for your fans. Whenever I listen to any of your work I feel as if time stops and all the pressure of the world just goes away. What you create is an amazing escape from the ordinary that I have never felt before from anything else. Thank you.
The good fellow that you play it is valid very abruptly)
Good luck to you, we wait for new musical projects)
Greetings from Russia!!!

I hope so, that's what's important.
You lift people up with your music.
You've touched so many in such a positive way.
I've read all the comments, you are well loved.
Hope to hear from you soon.
And thanxx for the music.

I absolutely love your work. If you made sheet music I'd definetly buy it and I'd bet other people would too. So, when's the next album?
Ronald, where did you go? Give us a sign of life at least, I'm really digging your tunes!
just got your CDs. its like all i listen to now. anytime you wanna make more music would be great
WHERE ARE YOU MAN?!?!? MORE PLEEEAASSSE!!!
