Episode 22: Asian-influenced Music

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 Asian-influenced music.

Haratanaya Sree (4:32)
Solyuga (4:05)

That was Haratanya Sree by Veena Kinhal, which is available from Free Music Archive and is licensed as Public Domain.  Finishing up was Solyuga by KraftiM, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.

Track 3-Yogi (Rag Bhairavi alap dhumali) 7,25mn (7:17)
Track 7-Rag Kalawati (Alap,Rupak,& tintal)17,00mn (17:02)

That was Track 3-Yogi (Rag Bhairavi alap dhumali) and finishing up was Track 7-Rag Kalawati (Alap,Rupak,& tintal)17,00mn.  Both of them in this set are by Karim Amari, are available from Jamendo, and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Today's app-of-the-day is OpenBVE, a train driving simulator.  And I say "driving" since it's not a switching simulator or operations simulator - you take the role of engineer and have to get your train from one station to the next on time while still obeying speed limits and signals.  It can be quite challenging.  It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at openbve.org

Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.  And, yeah, the story's full of heavy cultural stereotypes, but among others, boy do I wish some of the stereotypes of "those crazy adventurous Americans" were still true.

Around the World in 80 Days
Finding Movement (1:56)
Entering the Temple (0:46)
Ishikari Lore (2:47)
Penta Improv Changes (4:38)

That was Finding Movement by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Entering the Temple by Zach Denzer, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Ishikari Lore by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Penta Improv Changes by Dan.Gutwein, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  The next two songs were Ripples and Himilayan Atmosphere, both by Kevin MacLeod, available from incompetech.com, and licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Kind of Hirajoshi by Dan.Gutwein, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike 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.

This week is going to be a lot of very small songs.  And again this week I made sure that everything in this episode was either licensed as Attribution or something compatible with it.  We could use a few more good cross-platform games - why not use some of this music and make one?

Anyway, back to music.

Today's app-of-the-day is Eclipse, a very nice open source IDE for creating and editing programs, particularly Java programs, though other languages are also supported.  It has a very powerful plugin architecture and there are many plugins you can download for it, for example to integrate with version control systems. It's available for Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  It also appears to be possible to run it on OS/2, BeOS, Haiku, and just about any other platform that will run Java by using the version from the Eclipse on Swing project, though I have not tried it.  However if you're on one of the more common platforms that are officially supported, download Eclipse today at eclipse.org

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.

Episode 20: Electronic

(Sorry this was so late this week!  Should be back to the normal schedule next week.)

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 electronic music.

A-Lin-Unitrospection (6:43)
Aquascape - Vacuum Fields (6:45)
Severed Triangles (3:44)
Ovum phoenicis (4:00)

That was A-Lin-Unitrospection by A-Lin, Aquascape - Vacuum Fields by Tunguska Electronic Music Society, Severed Triangles by Andrey Avkhimovich, and finishing up was Ovum phoenicis by A. S. Hereb.  All four of them are available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution license.

This week's episode is another one where I tried very hard to find only songs which are licensed under an Attribution license.  So there's all kinds of stuff you can do with the music this week.  Go out there and make some cool stuff!

The Blender Foundation Open Movie team released another open licensed short film this week.  It's called Tears of Steel, and it's quite cool.  It's made with all open-source software and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Check it out today and mango.blender.org

Adibudi - I don't know the title (2:49)
The eighth sin (edited) (5:07)
Redshift (3:17)
Emerge In Love (ft. SackJo22 & Magic Moon) (3:52)

SackJo22 & Magic Moon) by Alex, which is available from ccMixter.  All four of them are licensed under an Attribution license.

Today's app-of-the-day is OpenVPN.  To distill it down to its basic form, OpenVPN lets you set up a virtual network cable between two computers over the internet on an encrypted channel.  It allows you to do many of the same kinds of things as an SSH tunnel, but it's slightly different in that it doesn't just tunnel specific ports, which makes tunnelling things with randomized ports much easier.  It's available for Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, BeOS and Haiku, Android, Apple iOS, HP webOS, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at openvpn.net

Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.  And as a heads-up, one of the following songs sorta has vocals, but they're more of a musical texture than anything.

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
TV (TechVision) (Short Mix) (edited) (8:26)
Fresa y Berenjena (0:58)
Trackin Around (4:58)
Argonika - Rainbow Hunter (3:29)

That was a shortened edit of TV (TechVision) (Short Mix) by Data Collaborate, a shortened edit of Fresa y Berenjena by Sikior, Trackin Around by Data Collaborate, Argonika - Rainbow Hunter by Tunguska Electronic Music Society, and finishing up was Til We Meet Again [Instrumental Edit] by Rataxes.  All five of them are available from Jamendo and are 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.

Episode 19: Cartoon Music

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 cartoon music.

Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46 - I. Morning (3:49)
Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46 - IV. In The Hall Of The Mountain King (2:34)
Rondo Alla Turca (3:01)

That was Movement 1 (Morning) and Movement 4 (In The Hall Of The Mountain King) from Peer Gynt Suite by Edvard Grieg and performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra for the Musopen project.  Both of them are available from The Internet Archive on the Musopen DVD.  Finishing up was Rondo Alla Turca by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, which was performed by Romuald Griess and is available from Wikipedia.  All three of them are licensed as Public Domain.

And again, this week's cartoon music recordings are all public domain, thanks to the original music itself being public domain nowadays and all of the performers of these recordings performing under public domain licensing.  Thanks, everyone!

As a reminder, check out The Internet Archive and Wikipedia for some old classic cartoons sometime.  Not to mention any of them by name, but a bunch of the big ones have at least one or two individual cartoons where the studio did not renew their copyrights and they fell into the public domain.  With a quick search you're likely to find some pretty awesome animated hilarity, some of which is likely set to the music in this podcast episode.

Speaking of which, let's listen to some more of it.

Romeo And Juliet (18:31)
Sonata No. 2 in B Flat Minor (8:16)

That was Romeo And Juliet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which was performed by the Skidmore College Orchestra and is available from Musopen.  Finishing up was the third movement of Sonata No. 2 in B Flat Minor, otherwise known as Funeral March, by Frédéric Chopin, which is also available from Musopen.  Both of them are licensed as Public Domain.

Today's app-of-the-day is TigerVNC, a cross-platform VNC client and server that allows you to operate your computer remotely.  For example, you can use your laptop's keyboard, mouse or touchpad, and screen to operate your desktop computer over the internet.  Though if you're going to use it over the internet, I would heartily recommend encryption.  Supposedly TigerVNC now supports encryption by itself without needing an external program, though I have never used that component of it.  I usually end up running it over an SSH tunnel, which also works great.  But, anyway, it's available for Linux, I would assume BSD, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at tigervnc.com

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

Librivox
1812 Overture (16:39)
Turkey in the Straw (1:48)
Oh Susanna (3:53)
Anchors Aweigh (0:37)

That was the 1812 Overture by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which was performed by the Skidmore College Orchestra and is available from Musopen.  After that was Turkey in the Straw by an undetermined artist sometime around 1830, which was performed by the United States Air Force Band and is available from Wikipedia.  Then we had Oh Susanna by Stephen Foster and performed by the United States Navy Band, which is available from Wikipedia.  Finishing up was Anchors Aweigh by Charles Zimmerman and performed by the US Navy Band, which is available from the US Navy Band's website.  All four of them are licensed as Public Domain.

So, that's all for today.  Believe it or not, even though this is now the third cartoon music episode I've done, I still have more cartoon music lined up for another episode.  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 episode was made using Xubuntu Linux, Gentoo Linux, Audacity, Audacious for organizing playlists, and Leafpad for notes, and is licensed under the Creative Commons Public Domain license, thanks to all of the music being available as Public Domain from Musopen, The Internet Archive, Wikipedia, and the US Navy Band.  I would much rather distribute these episodes under more permissive licenses and will be doing so when I can.  At any rate, feel free to give it to your friends, or if you didn't like it, your enemies.  Links to the songs in this podcast are available on the website.  Listen in next time for some electronic music!  See 'ya!

South Australia (1:03)
Sailor's Hornpipe Medley (2:09)

That was a slightly edited version of Talk Like A Pirate Day by Tom Smith, the official song of Talk Like A Pirate Day.  It's available from his website at tomsmithonline.com and is graciously licensed by permission under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  I try to keep this podcast absurdly clean so it's safe for work environments and kids, but really you should probably just download that one directly.  It's incredibly mild.  Anyway, next up was Duet Musette by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was South Australia by Dead Parrot, which is available from SoundCloud and is graciously licensed by permission under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Finishing up was a slightly edited version of Sailor's Hornpipe Medley by Leopold Moeslein from 1906, which is available from archive.org and is licensed as Public Domain.

Today's app-of-the-day is vim.  It's a command-line text editor, and it runs pretty well everywhere, including on my phone.  It has a relatively easy-to-learn basic command set with a ton of more powerful commands and the ability to install all kinds of plugins.  It's available for Linux, BSD, AmigaOS, OS/2, Android, iOS, Windows CE, MorphOS, MacOS Classic, DOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and many more.  Download it today at vim.org

That was Pirate Song by The Oxford Collective, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Major-General's Song by Gilbert and Sullivan from their opera Pirates of Penzance, which is available from Librivox and is licensed as Public Domain.  Bit of a stretch, but I love that song.  Next up was a slightly edited version of The Pirate Song by Will Inns, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Pirate Song by Jonah Knight, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Episode 17: Jazz

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 jazz.

Has To Be Jazz (3:22)
Opportunity Walks (2:41)
Jazz Reflexion (3:09)
Spiritual Pathways (6:58)

That was Has To Be Jazz by Jadenise, which is available from SoundCloud.  After that was Opportunity Walks by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  Next up was Jazz Reflexion by Jose Gil, which is available from Jamendo.  And finishing up was Spiritual Pathways by jazz-goa, which is available from SoundCloud.  All four of them are licensed under an Attribution license.

This week I made it a goal again to find only music which was available under an Attribution license.  It's considerably more difficult, since it trims down the variety of music you can pull from quite a bit, but in my mind it's worth it to do that once in a while.  So go out there and use this music to make more cool stuff!

So, let's get back to music.

Faster Does It (3:01)
Frankovo stará (5:36)
Jazz Hooves (1:42)

That was Faster Does It by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  After that was Frankovo stará by Jack Harrer Quintet and finishing up was Jazz Hooves by NoLongerAnon, which are both available from SoundCloud.  All three of them are licensed under an Attribution license.

Sudden Jazz (2:26)
Jazz Goa Blues (4:28)
Bossa Nova Jazz (4:08)
Игорь Бессчастный (Jazz trio)-After you I (3:56)

That was Sudden Jazz by theiosxaris, Jazz Goa Blues by jazz-goa, and Bossa Nova Jazz by 7BLUE, all three of which are available from SoundCloud.  Finishing up was Игорь Бессчастный (Jazz trio)-After you I by B&TheBand, which is available from Jamendo.  All four of them are licensed under an Attribution license.

Today's app-of-the-day is Synfig Studio, an incredibly powerful 2D animation program.  When you animate, the normal process is to set up keyframes, which are essentially key poses you want the character to hit and when.  From there, in classical animation, an in-betweener would draw the frames to make the character move from one of these keyframe poses to another.  Computers have made this tweening significantly easier, but I've found it still tends to be rather cumbersome with professional 2D animation software.  Not so with Synfig Studio.  It has many more features, but that's the one that really stood out for me and made this program sing.  It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at synfig.org

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

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Bass Walker (2:41)
A Jazz Song (2:55)
Bye Bye 2010 (ft. SmoJos) (2:40)
Игорь Бессчастный (Jazz trio)-Letter which was not sent.. (4:36)

That was Bass Walker by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com.  After that was A Jazz Song by ajc4, which is available from SoundCloud.  Then we had Bye Bye 2010 (ft. SmoJos) by Pitx, which is available from ccMixter.  Finishing up was Игорь Бессчастный (Jazz trio)-Letter which was not sent.. by B&TheBand, which is available from Jamendo.  All four of them are 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.

Since I generally prefer more permissive licenses anyway, I made it a goal this week to find only music which was available under an Attribution license.  So, I hope you like it, and hopefully you'll be able to use it in even more cool projects.

So, back to music.

Episode 15: Jonathan Coulton

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 music by Jonathan Coulton.

Code Monkey (edited) (3:09)
Mandelbrot Set (edited) (4:24)
Curl (edited) 3:18)
The Presidents (4:08)

That was a slightly edited version of Code Monkey, Mandelbrot Set, and Curl.  Mandelbrot Set was edited now that Dr. Mandelbrot is no longer with us.  And finishing up was The Presidents.  All four of them are by Jonathan Coulton.

In fact, all of the songs in this episode are by Jonathan Coulton and are available on his website at jonathancoulton.com and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Not all of his songs are open-licensed.  There are a few songs he can't do that with, like the song Still Alive that he wrote for the game Portal, but almost all of his music is open-licensed.  This episode partially came about because of a discussion a while back where a few of the people in a technical group I'm part of didn't know who he was, despite having heard a bunch of his music.  So, consider this an introduction to a well-known musician whose name is not as well-known.

Although most of his music is open-licensed, he does sell CDs and digital downloads in FLAC, OGG, and MP3 formats on his website.  There's also various merchandise and the tour schedule for his live shows.  Again, his site is at jonathancoulton.com

So, anyway, let's get back to listening to more of his music.

Furry Old Lobster (2:00)
Seahorse (3:28)
I'm Your Moon (3:12)
Under the Pines (3:36)

That was Furry Old Lobster, which you can find some awesome videos of online under their latin name "enhydra lutris".  After that was Seahorse, followed by I'm Your Moon, which was sung from the perspective of Pluto's moon Charon.  Neat piece of info there that the song refers to is how Pluto and Charon are face-locked, so the same side of each is facing the other, and Charon is large enough that they both revolve around a point between them rather than Charon only revolving around Pluto like you see in larger planets.  Finishing up was Under the Pines, which is about a large cryptid.  All of them are by Jonathan Coulton, are available from his website, and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.

The Humble Bundle is still running for a few more days, and they've added more games.  Check it out today at humblebundle.com

Back to music.

The Big Boom (2:37)
Re: Your Brains (4:31)
Bacteria (2:35)
Creepy Doll (4:00)

That was The Big Boom, which was written in response to a thunderclap that was strong enough to set off car alarms around where he was staying at the time.  After that was Re: Your Brains, one of his better-known songs, then Bacteria.  Finishing up was Creepy Doll.  All of them are by Jonathan Coulton, are available from his website, and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.

Today's app-of-the-day is Chromium.  Sort of.  The Chromium browser project at chromium.org is the base on which Google Chrome is built.  It lacks the built-in Flash Player and PDF viewer from Google Chrome, but these can generally be added back in as plugins.  More importantly it lacks the usage tracking of Google Chrome.  Most Linux distros I've used already have it as an installable option in their repos, and there are places online you can download builds of plain Chromium, but outside of Linux I generally prefer SRWare Iron.  It's a nicely packaged version of Chromium, complete with lack of usage tracking, and it's also open source.  Essentially it's an easy way to install Chromium, and it's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at srware.net

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

Nonsense Novels
Stroller Town (2:47)
SkyMall (3:55)
A Talk with George (edited) (3:04)
Just as Long as Me (2:13)
Mr. Fancy Pants (1:19)

That was Stroller Town, followed by SkyMall.  After that was a slightly edited version of A Talk with George, which was about George Plimpton, a guy who if you read his history is the embodiment of the phrase "try everything once".  Finishing up was Mr. Fancy Pants.  All of them are by Jonathan Coulton, are available from his website, and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial 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.

Episode 14: Electronic

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 electronic music.

Rotational Authority (4:12)
Space Saloon (3:12)
dancendtrance (2:51)
fly away (3:12)

That was Rotational Authority by Phantasma, which I've listened to probably more times than is healthy since I discovered it about a week ago.  That song is the one that cemented this episode as being electronic music when the episode was still in the planning stage.  It's available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Space Saloon by Eclectic Electronic, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up were dancendtrance and fly away, both by Sekula Wieslaw, both available from Jamendo, and both licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

This week has more than an hour of music lined up, so I'd like to get back to music soon.  But first, I'd like to mention that the Humble Bundle is back.  This time it's games again, but they do come with soundtracks, and boy are a couple of the games ever fun.  They're available for Linux, Android, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Check it out today at humblebundle.com

So, anyway, back to music.

Hornet (instrumental edit) (4:48)
save the world (2:53)
System 4 (4:02)
Blue Nexus (3:22)

That was an instrumental edit of Hornet by George_Ellinas, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was save the world by Sekula Wieslaw, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Next up was System 4 by Eclectic Electronic, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was Blue Nexus by Obtuse, which is available from his website at obtusemusic.bandcamp.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

That last one was rather interesting in that I've listened to Obtuse's music for a while and have always very much liked it but none of it that I'd found was open licensed.  I talk to him once in a while anyway, and I saw he was in an IRC chat channel I frequent, so I asked him if he had any open licensed music that I just
wasn't finding.  He didn't, but shortly after looking into open licensing, he now does.  The albums on his BandCamp site are available for purchase under a pay-what-you-want model and two of his albums are also now open licensed.  As usual for anyone I promote, I have no affiliation other than already knowing him.  He just has some awesome music, and I'm excited to be able to play it now.

So, with that said, let's get back to music.

Phobos Moon (5:54)
Do not come back. (3:51)
Electronic moment (2:58)
Triggernometry (ft. PattsiPeng) (instrumental version) (3:50)
Syndrome (3:15)
Aliens (ft. Mind Map That, My Free Mickey) (5:09)

That was Phobos Moon by Andrey Avkhimovich, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Do not come back. by UzDjLai and Electronic moment by Kevin Pellegrini, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was the instrumental version of Triggernometry (ft. PattsiPeng) by 7OOP3D, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  Then we had Syndrome by Phantasma, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was the instrumental version of Aliens (ft. Mind Map That, My Free Mickey) by timberman, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.

Today's app-of-the-day is 7-Zip.  It makes and opens archive files like zip and tar files.  Pretty basic, but beautiful in its simplicity and the fact that it runs pretty much everywhere.  A version of it is available for Linux, BSD, BeOS, AmigaOS, Solaris and OpenIndiana, AIX, Mac OS X, MS-DOS, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today at 7-zip.org

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

Librivox
I make you a Spaceman (2:57)
Dead (4:46)
Dj Devi - There Is Nothing After (5:59)

That was I make you a Spaceman by Kevin Bryce, which is available from Free Music Archive and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was Dead by Alex F and finishing up was Dj Devi - There Is Nothing After by Dj Devi, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution license.  I thought the title of that last song was quite fitting.

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.

Episode 13: Rock and Vocals

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 rock and other music with vocals, which I generally group together.  And as usual for episodes I post that have vocals, as a heads-up, this one does have vocals, and while I consider them fairly clean, if you're in an environment where vocals are offensive you might want to listen to this one later.

American Dream Man (3:19)
Daylight (5:43)
Could I Be a Dream? (4:12)
London Again (clean edit) (3:32)

That was American Dream Man by Leslie Hunt and Daylight by SINGLETON, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Could I Be A Dream? by Sean T Wright, and finishing up was a clean edit of London Again by The League, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution license.

To expand on why this isn't just a "rock" episode, I'm not entirely sure if all of these songs would fit into that genre.  Most of them would, but rock encompasses so many different subgenera that I have a hard time classifying songs into or out of it.  And besides, I usually group songs by "vocal" or "instrumental", since I listen to a lot more instrumental music than music with vocals.  Depending on what I'm doing while listening to it, I sometimes find it a bit distracting.  So that's why this episode is what it is - it's how I group music.

Cool site to check out today: VODO.  They have open licensed videos including Pioneer One, Sintel, and a ton of others.  One really interesting one on there is called The Yes Men Fix The World - P2P Edition, a different version of which is apparently also distributed by HBO.  It's a rather humorous documentary where the two men known as The Yes Men hold hoax press conferences and presentations on behalf of companies and try to get people to believe the statements they're making. While I can't say I agree with their methods, I find it to be an extremely interesting watch due to the realization of how easily large news organizations can be duped.  Good lesson in always thoroughly checking your sources.  But, anyway, VODO (and with it, The Yes Men Fix The World) can be found at vo.do.  No .com or anything - just vo.do

Anyway, now for a little bit sillier music.

Super Exotic 60's Beat (2:37)
Nincompoop (edited - instrumental version here) (1:52)
Glitter Bomb (2:36)

That was Super Exotic 60's Beat by Juanitos.  After that was a mix between Nincompoop by Josh Woodward and Nincompoop (Instrumental Version) by Josh Woodward (Instrumental Versions), which I edited together to make a little bit cleaner version as far as the vocals go, considering I have at least one younger relative who might be listening to this.  Finishing up was Glitter Bomb by Juanitos.  All four of them are available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution license.

Those songs are awesome enough I figured I'd play them today, but that's it for silly stuff today.  Let's move on to a bit more music.  And just as a heads-up, the next song is in Spanish, and although I speak and understand passable Spanish, just like a lot of modern pop songs in English I have a hard time picking out the words from this song and there are no lyrics posted online, so I have no idea what they're actually saying.  At any rate, it's an awesome song.  Enjoy!

Camello (2:14)
Spinnin' (3:32)
Mezzamo - Ksa-Pse (3:08)

That was Camello by Los Faltones, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Spinnin' by Alex, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution license.  And finishing up was Mezzamo - Ksa-Pse by Mezzamo, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Today's app-of-the-day is the Transmission BitTorrent client.  Now, you may ask, why would I promote BitTorrent in a podcast dedicated to legal sharing of music?  The answer is simple - for anyone out there uninformed, contrary to what a lot of people would like you to believe, BitTorrent is really a pretty awesome technology.  The idea behind it is that rather than having files hosted in one place like a website, they're hosted by the other people who have already downloaded the files you want.  It's an excellent way to cut bandwidth costs for hosting providers, which is why VODO distributes most if not all of their videos that way.  Where people get into trouble with it is when they start downloading files which they do not have permission to, since by default many BitTorrent clients will automatically re-share the files you download.  But if you avoid the seedy parts of the internet (*note* - pun fully intended :) ) and just share the stuff you have the rights to share, there's all kinds of open-licensed stuff you can download and help share.  Many Linux distros can be downloaded and shared using BitTorrent as well as a whole bunch of open-licensed music and videos.  I've already mentioned VODO, but Jamendo also runs a BitTorrent tracker for their music and there are a bunch of online college course videos that colleges have released under open licenses.  So with that said, Transmission's a nice and very easy program to use for BitTorrent.  It's available for Linux, BSD, various routers, Maemo, Mac OS X, and via an unofficial port on Microsoft Windows.  It's downloadable at transmissionbt.com, unless you're on Microsoft Windows where you'll need to get the unofficial port from trqtw.sourceforge.net

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

The FuMP
Your Hair Is On Fire (4:03)
I NEED YOUR LOVE (3:59)
Can't We All Just Get Along? (ft. DoKashiteru ,Steve Bryant,snowflake , Robert Siekawitch, Mikel Thomas,BillRayDrums) (4:02)
On Brevity (3:09)

That was a slightly 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 Your Hair Is On Fire by Leslie Hunt, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. Then we had I NEED YOUR LOVE by SCOTT MCLEAN, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Can't We All Just Get Along? (ft. DoKashiteru ,Steve Bryant,snowflake , Robert Siekawitch, Mikel Thomas,BillRayDrums) by copperhead, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Finishing up was On Brevity by Josh Woodward, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  I love that song.  It reminds me a lot of Jonathan Coulton's music, which I didn't play today because I plan on doing a full episode of his music in the future.

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.

Episode 12: Western

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 music with a bit of a western feel.

Longing for Tumbleweeds (ft. snowflake) (1:54)
Bearded_Gypsy_Band_-_Viochord (3:15)
La rupture (3:23)
Bama Country (3:33)

That was Longing for Tumbleweeds (ft. snowflake) by Admiral Bob, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was Bearded_Gypsy_Band_-_Viochord by Kiah, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Then we had La rupture by Löhstana David, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Bama Country by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.

Just a quick reminder: The Humble Music Bundle is still available for the next few days.  They've also added some extra bonus content, and just like last week I can heartily recommend the music.  You choose how much you want to pay and who you want to pay it to.  Cool concept, good music.  Check it out today at humblebundle.com

And now, back to music.

Thing For Itself (ft. Pitx) (2:23)
Armadillo (3:14)
The Oregon Trail (instrumental remix) (2:58)
Ghost From the Past (6:51)

That was Thing For Itself (ft. Pitx) by unreal_dm, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was Armadillo by Yubatake, which is available from OpenGameArt.org and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had an instrumental remix of The Oregon Trail by Kara Square, which is made of components from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  And finishing up was Ghost From the Past by Butterfly Tea, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Let's continue right on with some more music.

Quand je serai grand (3:11)
dead (2:49)
Hiccup Western (2:06)
Eastern Blues (2:57)

That was Quand je serai grand by Löhstana David, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was dead by maxemaze and Hiccup Western by Carlier, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Finishing up was Eastern Blues by Sombrero(s), which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Today's app-of-the-day is PuTTY, a cross-platform terminal, telnet, and SSH client.  It gives you the ability to open terminal windows to many different types of command-line terminal servers, encrypted and not, network and serial.  If you've been in IT for very much time, you've probably used this program at one point in time or another, and if you haven't yet, you probably will.  What surprised me is that it's also available for platforms other than Microsoft Windows now.  I'm used to using command-line ssh from Linux, but apparently now PuTTY is now available for Linux, BSD, Symbian, Classic Mac OS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Windows Mobile.  It's available for download at www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty
