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'.

Renderin' (edited) (2:11 @ 2:56)
Mwahaha (3:55 @ 5:06)

The CC BY Song (Telecasterized edition) (ft. Loveshadow) (edited) (2:19 @ 10:30)

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.
