There’s a Difference
The electronic duo of Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland, known as The Crystal Method, have just released their 5th studio album and their first in almost 5 years.
I recall a dinner with the band in New York City last decade along with their record representative at the time Matt Pollack.
During the course of the meal one of the two (I don’t recall which) began choking on his food. Matt claims it was me but I attribute the rapid application of the Heimlich Maneuver to Matt. Regardless, the entrenched obstruction popped out onto the floor and even more memorable, we then all sat down and resumed our conversation as if nothing had ever happened!
That evening The Crystal Method did not become a solo act and today for some reason they have eponymously titled their new record.
“Emulator” is the first track.

The devastation in Haiti may no longer be the story du jour but the suffering continues. Linkin Park’s non-profit effort, Music For Relief, launched an initiative a few weeks back to help raise money to support relief efforts in Haiti. An album of exclusive tracks from various artists is available for free download at musicforrelief.org in exchange for a suggested donation of any amount.
