There was a very interesting entry on the NPR show about Issa. Issa renamed herself completely and basically started her whole musical career over again. In the past she had been under a label and she was using the first and last name that she was born with but slowly by slowly she drifted away from this and decided to do something completely different. Instead of Issa having a music production company distributing her music she is deciding to distribute her music herself online. The crazy thing is that she is doing at a price that is fair to her fans and to the public. On her latest tour she was accompanied only by a keyboard and her music was very simple and defied the normal rules of your stereotypical pop singer. This bold move that she made with digital technology is landing her ratings and interviews in today's artistic society. 
Everybody knows that YouTube has just about everything. My teacher posted a video up on our homework assignments and the setting of the video took place on a NYC Subway by a group named Atomic Tom. This is a pop group singing their lungs out on a subway. I thought it was really interesting. I really would like to know what their artistry behind the whole thing was. Did this group just want more publicity or were they trying to make a statement, letting the world know that it doesn't matter if you have a label or if you're famous. Play because you want to play not because you want attention! Check it out!

On a different topic there's a great video out about Cosmetic Ingredients. This video informs all of us about how toxic and dangerous a lot of the things that we have in our bathrooms are. Such as shampoo, deodorant, hairspray.. etc. I had no idea that things I use everyday have lots of bad toxins in them. Luckily there's a place called. healthycosmetics.org gives great advice.
