Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music. I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring nontraditional Christmas music. You can expect a bunch of songs with lyrics, some familiar and some not, along with many different styles of music that really just don't fit any other time of the year. Some of them, particularly later in the episode, are really fun but a bit harsh. So, without further ado, let's get started.
Chiron Beta Prime (2:50 @ 0:25)
O Tanning Bed (1:59 @ 3:13)
O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles) (ft. Admiral Bob) (2:54 @ 5:11)
Silent night (1:55 @ 8:00)
Wenceslas (2:53 @ 9:48)
Sugar Plum Dark Mix (2:05 @ 12:35)

After that was Little (Punk) Drummer Boy by MomentaryTrouble, Wesley Dysart - Little Drummer Bot by Wesleydysart, Carol of the Bells by Bill Barner, Carol of the Bells by William M Walker, and Carol of the Bells by Alvin Gao, all five of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.

Finishing up was Hardcore Jingle Bells by Storyboards, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license. Some of the songs this week are more nontraditional than others, and that one takes the cake. I really really want to see it worked into some kind of a humorous open source Christmas-themed game. Anyway...
Today's app-of-the-day is Trigger Rally Online Edition, a browser-based obstacle course racing game with the same crazy physics I'm used to from racing games of the 90's. Seriously, it's cool. You'll need a very modern browser, I believe only Firefox and WebKit-based browsers and possibly Opera currently support it, and it uses the keyboard for controls. If you have that, which I normally surf the web with anyway, the graphics are amazingly good, though if you play Version 1 you might want to play it without sound right now as they seem to be having some problems with that as of late. Anyway, check it out today at triggerrally.com
Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.
The FuMP
Podsafe Christmas Song (edited) (2:44 @ 47:23)
02 Go Tell it on the Mountain (3:00 @ 50:05)
11 The Bells (1:31 @ 53:05)
Deck The Halls (Elves and Trumpets Mix) (ft. James Edwards) (3:17 @ 54:34)
The Headbangin' Christmas Medley (4:35 @ 57:50)
Auld Lang Syne (ft. Admiral Bob) (2:31 @ 1:02:18)
That was an edited version of Podcast Promo by The FuMP, which is available from thefump.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was an edited version of Podsafe Christmas Song by Jonathan Coulton, which is available from his website at jonathancoulton.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. The cool thing about that song is that a few years ago it was very accurate. I remember looking for open licensed Christmas music and could hardly find anything. Nowadays, as evidenced by this week's and last week's episodes, we have tons of open licensed Christmas music thanks to all of the artists out there who are sharing their music and the websites that support and encourage open licensing. Anyway, next up was 02 Go Tell it on the Mountain and 11 The Bells, both by the_2nd_tenor, available from SoundCloud, and licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had Deck The Halls (Elves and Trumpets Mix) (ft. James Edwards) by spinningmerkaba, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. After that was The Headbangin' Christmas Medley by christopian, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license. Finishing up was Auld Lang Syne (ft. Admiral Bob) by Benjamin Orth, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution license.
So, that's all for today. Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction. So don't pirate it - replace it with something better. Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies. Support artists where your support actually counts.
