Episode 36: Funny Music

Hi everyone!

Sorry about the lateness this week.  Caught the flu something awful and burned through my buffer.  Finally starting to get caught up.  I'm behind enough now next week's episode might be a bit late as well, but I'm going to give it a try to get it out on time.

My advice: don't catch the flu.  It's not a good idea.

And if you decide to ignore that warning, they say laughter is the best medicine, so enjoy this week's episode!

- Ralph

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 funny music.  As a heads-up, all of the songs this week have lyrics, and even the things that aren't songs do.  So, let's get a'listenin'.

Calling All Bars (2:38 @ 0:17)
Renderin' (edited) (2:11 @ 2:56)
Mwahaha (3:55 @ 5:06)

That was a slightly edited version of Staying Fat by Cirque du So What, Apple Feast by TV's Kyle, The Sandwich Song Singalong by Steve Goodie, a slightly edited version of Speed Racer Wannabe by Dino-Mike, which amazingly enough it sounds like he got permission to open license the sound bytes for, and Redesign Your Logo by Lemon Demon, all five of which are available from The Funny Music Project and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Camera Phone LOL by johnnyfoure, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  He also has a music video of it up on YouTube and encourages fans to make their own video.  Then we had a slightly edited version of Teach Your Baby Bass Guitar by Flat 29, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Finishing up was Bedtime Blues (ft. Admiral Bob) by Down With Ben, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution license.

Today's app-of-the-day is lichess, an open source online chess game.  Play against the computer or another human player, or use the included instructions to run a server yourself for your friends to play on.  It's apparently written largely in Scala, which I was a little surprised at since it's probably the largest project that I know of in that language.  Anyway, check it out today at lichess.org or download the source code at https://github.com/ornicar/lila

Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.

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.

This week's episode is entirely CC0-licensed.  You should really check it out - it's a very cool extremely permissive license that I'm a huge fan of which, in my opinion, is very much underused.  I've linked to it in the notes for this episode.  The artists this week deserve some major kudos for taking open licensing that far.

Today's app-of-the-day is Stellarium, a really nice star map and planetarium program.  Set your location, time and date you want to view from, and it'll show you what's visible in the sky and where it is.  It can tie in with computerized telescopes to aim them, it can show you where satellites and the International Space Station are, and you can even connect it to projectors if you want to build a full planetarium.  It's just a really cool program.  It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Check it out today at stellarium.org

Now for a very short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, which was interesting to try and round up under a CC0 license, followed by more sounds.

I've mentioned it before, but if you haven't seen the short film Sintel, you might want to go check it out.  It was made using the open source animation program Blender, and revolves around a girl and her pet dragon.  It's licensed under an Attribution license and is available to watch online or download in a variety of formats and sizes all the way up to a 4K format packaged for playing in theaters.  Check it out today at sintel.org

Disabled emotions suite: Part 2 (4:09 @ 19:22)
Introduction (1:15 @ 23:29)

Today's app-of-the-day is MuseScore, a music notation and scoring program that makes it very easy to typeset sheet music.  You pretty much just click the staves to add notes to them in whatever lengths you want and it takes care of drawing all the stems and such and generally expressing the music you draw in using normal music notation rules.  It's really cool and, due to the number of automatic organization and cleanup features, makes it quite easy to typeset sheet music.  Even if you don't know much about musical theory, I'm confident you could still compose playable songs with relative ease with it.  It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at musescore.org
