smash vinyl

If you haven't seen or head RJD2 yet you haven't been alive in the world of music. Mr. Ramble John Krohn can apparently be found on the streets of philly with vinyl under his arm at all times. His live show is nothing short of amazing, and usually electronic music bores me to tears. RJD2 tears up the tables, the beat machines, the samplers, everything is analog and astounding. The man is a savant in this world of mediocre DJ's and wanna-be electronic musicians. He puts them all to shame. I've been listening to his new album which is all of his own acoustic work mixed up and sampled along with his singing. Much like most of his other albums I'm a huge fan of half of the tracks, but just a confused spectator for the other half. Sometimes he's just too slick for his own good, but other times you're right down the slide with him and its a great ride. Check out this track he did with Jakki. "Keep trying to keep it real while keeping it raw" ... from the deadringer album.
