This live version from the legendary West Coast ska kings, the Uptones, is all about belligerence and life. I love this song. Also check out other songs at their skankin’ site.

E. Blake Davis’ Opal Book Club has been on my radar lately. Sure to garner some strong opinions from skaters and skate fans everywhere, “Tony Alva” mp3 is an instant classic.

“Blue Spark” was an outtake from Common Rider’s Unity Music album recording sessions. Later released on a posthumous EP, the song packs a lot of rock & roll into two minutes. As singer-songwriter Jesse Michaels offered, “The lyrics detail the normal, everyday descent into madness that is the human mind.” If so then insanity never sounded so good! This song is gr8.
A political rant that seems to ripen with time. Originally released on the “Ed Haynes Sings Ed Haynes” LP, this is most recently getting attention as the lead off track on the first MP3 Jackpot Winners compilation on Fun Fun Fun Recordings.

Once Eric Din had written “Fish In a Tree”, which by the way doesn’t sound like any other song he’s ever written, I knew this song would either be a glorious throw away for the band Hobo or something truly special. Once Eric one-talked the vocal that day at Hyde Street Studio – he made it special. Since then it’s always been one of my favorites. I wish I could bottle this combination of poetry in the lyric, tempo of the song, and vocal quality. Then I’d be able to use it over and over. Oh, what a producer’s dream. Plus good job of recording by Josh Tobias. P.S. There’s a reward for anyone who can explain what this song is about.

Living in the Bay Area, I was introduced to the WWW in 1995. I immediately recognized the Internet's potential to change the dynamic in my industry, music. Since then, I have been actively involved with a number of music websites. Music2ten.com is my latest. I've always loved discovering and sharing new music, and Music2ten.com is all about that.
All the music @ 2ten has been selected because we love it. The music here is given away free by the varying music creators, who hope you like their music enough to buy some. Whether or not you buy any, these music creators thank you in advance for listening.
Helping create and introducing new music is my greatest joy. I founded Beserkley Records, and Fun Fun Fun Recordings to do just that. All the bloggers here are recording artists @ Funfunfunrecordings.com. I am truly proud of all the music at Fun Fun Fun, and I hope you check out the music, maybe even buy some.
I am also a recording artist @ Fun Fun Fun. That helps me understand the need for exposure sites like this one. Check out my ode to the radio on MP3Jackpot Winners.
