I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ronnie Martin of Joy Electric is THE reason that I like music. If I hadn't stumbled upon Joy Electric's album "Robot Rock", I probably would not have fallen in love with music the way I have. Music went from a cool thing to have in the background to something worth really listening to and enjoying, and my CD collection started to explode from that point. I've not looked back since. I can't imagine like without music, good music.
So Ronnie Martin is kind of my hero. I will fully admit that I am something of a fangirl. How many years in a row have I been to Ohio to go to his music festival? Six?
Even though I fangirl, I realize that Joy Electric's sound really isn't for everyone. Some people simply don't like it. There's not really much I can do about that. People just have different tastes. People are different and that's what makes the world interesting.
BUT. You guys. Ronnie has a new project (yes, another one) that is very un-JoyE-ish. It is amazing, guys, and I love it and I think you will, too. It's called Ronald of Orange (what a very Ronnie Martin-esque name) and ohh man. It makes my heart happy. If this is what 2009 is bringing, then 2009 is going to be amazing.
