Fishbone - Sunless Saturday

When I was like, oh, 11 I think, I remember my brother giving me some of his compact disks. I forget what the deal was, but I got to pick 3. The first two were Nirvana’s “Nevermind” and The Red Hot Chili Peppers “Blood Sugar Sex Magic” - both very popular albums of the time (and still today). The third album I chose, however, is one of the best albums I have ever owned. “The Reality of My Surroundings” by Fishbone is one of the craziest, zaniest, musically diverse (and vulgar as hell for an 11 year old) albums anyone will ever get a chance to listen to. Here’s the final track off the album.

Kate Walsh - Internet Music Sensation

Although I just learned about her myself (not a huge itunes user), it seems that everyone else has. Kate Walsh, who recorded her album in her friends bedroom (and actually named said album Tom’s House), recently landed on the itunes top downloads list. The 23 year old has shunned major labels and insists on working for herself (she even started her own label). Kate discusses how easy it is to set up (you just have to get of your butt and do it!). MySpace + itunes + some leg work = music success and all the profits to yourself.
