RJD2
Upon hearing the new RJD2 album, The Third Hand, I could immediately imagine the shrieking outcry of RJ's hard core fanbase, wailing and gnashing their teeth at the fact that, if you didn't know this record was by RJD2 up front, you certainly wouldn't know it by listening. It's kind of like RJD2's crossover pop album or something. Luckily for me, I dig this record. The tracks have an interesting groove and a pleasing sheen; the vocals are well done and well mixed (for some reason, I'm reminded of Hall & Oates, which, you know, of course); and overall, even if I don't recognize this when it comes up in rotation on Comfort Radio, I'm sure I will still dig it.
RJD2 - Have Mercy
RJD2 - Reality
RJD2 - Rules
Recently on Comfort Radio:
Charles Webster - Be No-One
Alpha - Slim
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - I Am a Rock

It's no 'Deadringer', but I still dig RJ's new record.

If RJD2 was a smart guy, he'd re-issue that record as insturmentals, with maybe some sparse dubbed out vocals. Then everyone would have their way, and he'd make some nice cash on the side.

I like Killer's Vanilla the best. :)
