Check local listings, but Weekend America has a segment on Darondo this weekend. Check your local NPR station for listings...(Haven't heard it yet; can't recommend it; just heard the tease.)

    I quoteth:

    "Collectors noawadays, from your 16 year old wanna-be DJs to your 45 year old, 65 year old, smelly collector at the record show/fleamarket, they're like...damn, "Didn't I" is hot."

    Speak on bruddah!

    By the way - when Justin is talking about how Darondo pulled out his guitar and started playing his songs again, it's from an interview he taped in Sac, using my mini-disc recorder. Justin let me repost some of the songs here. They're not very long, they're not recorded with studio equipment...but goddamn, this dude still has it.

    I'm on a Mac and I was able to listen to the radio broadcast fine-- just click on the icon and a stand-alone player should open up.

    Anyhow, *liver already quoted the funniest stupid shit you said on there.

    RealPlayer tends to be somewhat invasive and has been classified as malware by some quarters (owing to the ads inherent); 2 options to circumvent installing the full version of RealPlayer:

    BBC RealPlayer - to conform to BBC specifications (and worried about losing the BBC as a client), RealMedia had to produce a BBC-compliant mal/ad-ware free version of RealPlayer - here ->

    RealAlternative processes RealMedia formats and is my preferred utility; malware free w/ no fiscal/business association whatsoever w/ RealMedia ->

    I'll second RealAlternative. I never installed RealPlayer on this computer (it's my second computer in my bedroom)and didn't really want to unleash that scourge on my system so I gave RealAlternative a shot. I love it so far, it plays Real files just like it should and I haven't had any problems. They also make a Quick Time alternative that I haven't tried out since I already have QT installed but I might give that one a shot if I ever have to reinstall QT since now it's folded into crap-ass iTunes.

    That was great. During the last couple of years Daron Do has worked his way pretty high on my favourite singers ever list. I mean the guy recorded like 11 songs in his life of which only one is just OK, and the rest are short of amazing, actually most ARE amazing. That's a pretty compact recording career if you ask me.

    His voice is 100%soul.

    Hey Jinx:

    Here's an mp3 of the article that I clipped from the podcast, no realaudio needed:

    His whole funk image, the suspicious fast life slash pimpin' lifestyle; that's what I want to know. (yousendit mp3 link, ~8MB)

    wow that sounded pretty good...

    thanks to UtheR for sending me a link as well.

    funny that i sat there in an interview for well over an hour, almost an hour and a half, and there were two sentences they used of mine... hahaha...

    that "make things right" song is ridiculously good. I can't stop playing it. Thanks for sharing that!
