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

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 49: Funny 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 funny music, all of which has lyrics.
Quantum Entanglement (2:36) - The FuMP - BandCamp
AA Battery Controlled Telescopic Knife (3:33)
Love and Romance Game (3:03) - Jamendo - Internet Archive
You Might Be (4:29)
It's F***ing Cold Outside (edited) (1:29)
That was Quantum Entanglement by Glen Raphael, which is available from The Funny Music Project or his BandCamp website. While you're at it check out some of his other songs on his BandCamp site - he's got some really hilarious stuff on there. After that was AA Battery Controlled Telescopic Knife by Look Left, which is available from The Funny Music Project. Then we had Love and Romance Game by Mind Cabaret, which used to be available from Jamendo but is now available at The Internet Archive. Next up was You Might Be by Insane Ian, which is available from The Funny Music Project. Finishing up was a maybe just a wee bit censored version of It's F***ing Cold Outside by Fortress of Attitude, which is available from The Funny Music Project. All five songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.
As of right now, when I'm putting this episode together, that song's currently hilariously relatable, however from the weather it's looking like by the time this airs it'll be a bit warmer. Regardless, I don't normally like to play songs that I have to heavily censor, but that song was such a humdinger I figured it was worth censoring anyway. I try to keep this podcast pretty much squeaky clean. Hope you enjoyed it.
Kittens for Sale (2:45)
Firm Thighs (2:08)
Sprinkles On My Donut (4:30)
Autocomplete (Featuring Worm Quartet) (edited) (4:43)
I Love Doritos (2:05)
That was Kittens for Sale by TV's Kyle, which is available from The Funny Music Project. After that was Firm Thighs by Fuzzy Logic, which is available from Jamendo. Then we had Sprinkles On My Donut by Art Paul Schlosser, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow. And, yeah, pretty much all of his songs are like that. Next up was a somewhat edited version of Autocomplete (Featuring Worm Quartet) by Devo Spice, which is available from The Funny Music Project. And finishing up was I Love Doritos by Todd Chappelle, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow. All five songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.
Today's app-of-the-day is Mozilla Thunderbird, an e-mail client program. It has functionality for checking, organizing, and sending e-mail from multiple providers and has a ton of plugins available which allow you to add even more functionality to it. One plugin in particular I like is called Lightning, which adds calendar functionality. It's very easy to use, easy to install, and is free and open source. It's available for Linux, OS/2, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, BSD, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. Download it today from mozilla.org/thunderbird
Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music. And as a heads-up, the first song in the next set is a really hard to locate joke that, if you get it, is hilarious, but if you miss or otherwise can't understand the first couple words it won't make any sense. The joke is explained afterward, but keep your ears peeled.
The FuMP
Lorem Ipsum (4:33)
Free Water (edited) (4:21)
Best Game Ever (edited) (4:31)
T.F.O.S. (2:35)
The New Me (edited) (3:30)
That was an edited version of Podcast Promo by The FuMP, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was Lorem Ipsum by kerrymarsh, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license. Those of you with design experience may have recognized that they were singing filler text called Lorem Ipsum. Anyway, then we had a slightly edited version of Free Water by Redbox and the Chilipeppers, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. Now, you'd think this'd be common sense, but based on conversations with some people, please don't do that. Someone has to pay for your utility usage, be it water, gas, electricity, or otherwise and if it's not you it's just going to be made up for in your costs somewhere else eventually. Rant aside, next up was a slightly edited version of Best Game Ever by Mikey Mason, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was T.F.O.S. by Eoghnved Mmrkuudnen, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. And finishing up was an edited version of The New Me by Dino-Mike, which is available from The Funny Music Project 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.

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 instrumental acoustic music.

That was Buckarooster by Doug Jamieson, and A la Roberto, tema II (Quien fuera) by clbustos, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Next up was Thursday by Andrew Aycoth and finishing up was 5:4 by shkadarns, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.
I love alternative time signatures like 5:4. I once tried putting together an episode of all songs in alternative time signatures, but they're a little hard to find since most people don't choose titles for songs based on their time signature. I've had the same problem with finding songs which use a particular instrument. So, on that note, if you know of any good open licensed 5:4 or 7:8 songs or anything like that, please let me know.

East Side Bar (Instrumental) (3:15)

That was I40 - INTERSTATE by Bane Djakovic, which is available from Jamendo. After that was Learn to Fly (Instrumental Version) followed by East Side Bar (Instrumental), both by Josh Woodward (Instrumental Versions) and available from Jamendo. Next up was Five Seconds (instrumental) by The Background Clown, Spanish-ish and Major12 by (c) Jun Sugiyama 2012, and finishing up was Not A Thing To Be Grasped by JohnStuart, which are available from SoundCloud. All seven songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.
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
Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.

Episode 47: Chiptunes
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 chiptunes.
Skyball (3:17)
BossaNova (1:17)
Chairborne Boogie [IT (48K)] (3:22)
Asymmetrical Mode; ON (1:54)
Itty Bitty 8 Bit (3:13)
Spiff Tune - And so it Begins (2:53)
Dstort (3:31)
Colored Pixels (3:34)
That was Skyball by DJ Bouche, BossaNova by 8-BITchin'tendo, Chairborne Boogie [IT (48K)] by ipidev, and Asymmetrical Mode; ON by Claudia Andrea Hermosilla, all four of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license. After that was Itty Bitty 8 Bit by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had Spiff Tune - And so it Begins by Spiff Tune, which used to be available from SoundCloud but has since been removed and was licensed under an Attribution license as of February 1, 2013. Next up was Dstort by ChrisLody, and finishing up was Colored Pixels by 8-BITchin'tendo, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.
This week's another Attribution week, so feel free to reuse this music. Or, for that matter, the parts where I'm talking if you somehow found a good use for it. The Attribution license is a wonderful thing.
On that note, since this podcast is all audio, I should mention a few resources for Attribution-licensed visual media:
- First, the photo sharing website Flickr. If you use their Advanced Search function, you can limit your searches to only those which are licensed as Attribution or possibly Attribution Share-Alike. They have some excellent photos on there as well as lots of stuff you can use as pieces of things.
- DeviantArt is also very good. They don't provide a nice Creative Commons search feature like Flickr, but they do offer Creative Commons licensing choices for works uploaded to their system and there are a few groups dedicated to building collections of CC-licensed works. One such group is Creative-Commons which also has instructions for how to use a search engine to find Creative Commons works on DeviantArt under particular search terms. Bit of a hack, but there is some very nice artwork on DeviantArt which doesn't quite fit on Flickr, though not as much is under pure Attribution licenses.
- OpenGameArt is another one. I've mentioned them before and I'll mention them again. They have 3D models, tile sets, sprite sheets, music, textures, sound effects, and much of it under very permissive licenses. With the resources on OpenGameArt, you could truly build a game without having to create any of the artwork from scratch.
And, with that, it's high time we get back to music.

All ten songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.
Today's app-of-the-day is Audacity. Audacity is a fairly full-featured open-source audio editing and effects program. It's what I used to record my voice and edit this podcast together. One of the features I like about it most is its noise cancelling functionality, which I've been able to successfully use to remove noise even in situations where the noise was about as loud as the signal, and even when commercial solutions have fallen flat. It's cross-platform as well, so whether you're running Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, or I think BSD, you can still use it. Download it today at audacity.sourceforge.net
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.

Skyball (3:17)
BossaNova (1:17)
Chairborne Boogie [IT (48K)] (3:22)
Asymmetrical Mode; ON (1:54)
Itty Bitty 8 Bit (3:13)
Spiff Tune - And so it Begins (2:53)
Dstort (3:31)
Colored Pixels (3:34)
That was Skyball by DJ Bouche, BossaNova by 8-BITchin'tendo, Chairborne Boogie [IT (48K)] by ipidev, and Asymmetrical Mode; ON by Claudia Andrea Hermosilla, all four of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license. After that was Itty Bitty 8 Bit by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had Spiff Tune - And so it Begins by Spiff Tune, which used to be available from SoundCloud but has since been removed and was licensed under an Attribution license as of February 1, 2013. Next up was Dstort by ChrisLody, and finishing up was Colored Pixels by 8-BITchin'tendo, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.
This week's another Attribution week, so feel free to reuse this music. Or, for that matter, the parts where I'm talking if you somehow found a good use for it. The Attribution license is a wonderful thing.
On that note, since this podcast is all audio, I should mention a few resources for Attribution-licensed visual media:
- First, the photo sharing website Flickr. If you use their Advanced Search function, you can limit your searches to only those which are licensed as Attribution or possibly Attribution Share-Alike. They have some excellent photos on there as well as lots of stuff you can use as pieces of things.
- DeviantArt is also very good. They don't provide a nice Creative Commons search feature like Flickr, but they do offer Creative Commons licensing choices for works uploaded to their system and there are a few groups dedicated to building collections of CC-licensed works. One such group is Creative-Commons which also has instructions for how to use a search engine to find Creative Commons works on DeviantArt under particular search terms. Bit of a hack, but there is some very nice artwork on DeviantArt which doesn't quite fit on Flickr, though not as much is under pure Attribution licenses.
- OpenGameArt is another one. I've mentioned them before and I'll mention them again. They have 3D models, tile sets, sprite sheets, music, textures, sound effects, and much of it under very permissive licenses. With the resources on OpenGameArt, you could truly build a game without having to create any of the artwork from scratch.
And, with that, it's high time we get back to music.

All ten songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.
Today's app-of-the-day is Audacity. Audacity is a fairly full-featured open-source audio editing and effects program. It's what I used to record my voice and edit this podcast together. One of the features I like about it most is its noise cancelling functionality, which I've been able to successfully use to remove noise even in situations where the noise was about as loud as the signal, and even when commercial solutions have fallen flat. It's cross-platform as well, so whether you're running Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, or I think BSD, you can still use it. Download it today at audacity.sourceforge.net
Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.

All six songs in this set 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 46: Piratey 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 pirate music and other stuff that's not necessarily pirate music but I think goes well with it. Some of the music this week does have lyrics.
Into Aer Cumri (3:28)
Polka No. 1 for Accordion in C minor (2:15)
Parisian (0:43)
Talijanska (1:56)
Waltz No. 1 for Accordion in C minor (2:39)
Poirot (2:38)
That was Into Aer Cumri by Mattias Westlund, which was formerly available from Jamendo and is now available from The Internet Archive, which is licensed under an Attribution license. After that was Polka No. 1 for Accordion in C minor by Steven O'Brien, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had Parisian by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. Next up was Talijanska by Balkan Balagan, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was Waltz No. 1 for Accordion in C minor by Steven O'Brien, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license. And finishing up was Poirot by Michael Lambright, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.
MusOpen's back on KickStarter again with a new project to record more classical music to release as public domain. Most of the classical music out there is public domain due to how old it is, but that's the music itself. Recordings of said classical music are generally newer and are covered by copyright, preventing them from being reused without explicit licensing. Musopen's goal is to change that. Their previous KickStarter campaign successfully allowed them to record a bunch of well-known music which they released to The Internet Archive as public domain. Now their goal is to record the complete works of Chopin, and as of the time of this episode they have almost reached their goal already. To take a look and help out, please visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/set-chopin-free
Volant (7:25)
Gypsy Csardas and Men's Dances from Kalotaszeg (edited) (6:14)
Miri's Magic Dance (1:36)
Amari Szi (4:37)
That was Volant by La Troba Kung-Fu and an edited version of Gypsy Csardas and Men's Dances from Kalotaszeg by MetroFolk, both of which are available from Free Music Archive and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was Miri's Magic Dance by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had Amari Szi by The Underscore Orkestra, which is available from Free Music Archive and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.
Today's app-of-the-day is Synergy. Synergy is a neat little system to let you use one keyboard and mouse to run multiple computers. So, for example, in my normal computer setup I have my desktop running Xubuntu Linux with its two monitors set up with the keyboard and mouse, and I have Synergy set up on my Gentoo Linux laptop so the cursor and keyboard smoothly move right over to it without having to plug in or unplug anything. Basically when my mouse hits the edge of the desktop's screen, it pops over onto the laptop's. And the great thing is that the computers involved don't have to run the same operating system. They have downloads for Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and iOS for iPad and iPhone devices, though I have little doubt there's a port available for BSD, OpenIndiana, etc. It's available from synergy-foss.org and is very simple to set up.
Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.
Treasure Island
French Blues (2:55)
Sailor's Saturday Night B-dur (3:38)
The Battle of Gavelburg (4:18)
Black Flag Flying (edited) (3:47)

Then we had The Battle of Gavelburg by Mattias Westlund, formerly available from Jamendo and now available from The Internet Archive, which is licensed under an Attribution license. And finishing up was a slightly edited version of Black Flag Flying by davidrovics, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.

Episode 45: Electronic
Just a quick note, because I've had a few people request this. This is not a full list, but here are a few of the places I commonly get music from:
- 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 electronic music.
Luceds - Going Steampunk (3:20)
Adibudi - Special sounds for special girl (Final version) (3:04)
Edge (2:52)
Melodia F (1:20)
That was Luceds - Going Steampunk by Luceds, which was available from SoundCloud. After that was Adibudi - Special sounds for special girl (Final version) by Adibudi, which is available from Jamendo. Then we had Edge by Mystery Mammal and finishing up was Melodia F by BrunoXe, which are both available from SoundCloud. All four of the songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about which license to choose when publishing something that you want to open license. Now, right upfront, I'm going to say that I'm not an attorney and this is not to be construed as legal advice. However, wonder no more, because there are a number of good guides out there. If your work is of a creative nature, the Creative Commons licenses are very popular and easy to choose from. Just visit http://creativecommons.org/choose/ to get started. They'll let you choose the terms and conditions under which you want to license your work. And that popularity thing I mentioned earlier? That's one of the big advantages of Creative Commons licenses. Not all licenses can legally have their stuff combined together. Many licenses explicitly state which other licenses they can be combined with. Well, because the Creative Commons licenses are so easy to use and so popular, there's a whole ecosystem of compatible-licensed stuff that, by licensing your work under a Creative Commons license, other people can combine your work with to build more cool stuff.
That said, the Creative Commons licenses are generally not recommended for computer programs, with the exception of the CC0 license which is just plain awesome anyway, because there are other licenses which are generally better-suited to licensing code. For a generally easy-to-read guide to available source code licenses, check out the Free Software Foundation's license guide at https://gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html which has a very large list of licenses, the terms they cover, how they can be combined, etc. Personally I'm a big fan of CC0 and the zlib license, but there are a whole bunch of other very good licenses on there for different purposes.
Anyway, it's about time I quit yakking and get back to music.
Copycat (Sunrise Mix) (ft. Fredrik Wasberger, Shannon Hurley) (5:29)
Breathless (ft. Jen Someone) (4:05)
Nightmare Night Showdown (5:51)
Electronic Engineering (3:15)
That was Copycat (Sunrise Mix) (ft. Fredrik Wasberger, Shannon Hurley) and Breathless (ft. Jen Someone), both by Ic3m4n, available from ccMixter, and licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. After that was Nightmare Night Showdown by Sonikkureinbumu, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. Finishing up was Electronic Engineering by Katharine Priegues, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution 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 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

Episode 44: Pop and Rock
Hi folks!
Sorry for the lack of updates. Life happened, and it took me a while to catch up. For now, the schedule for this podcast is being changed from once a week (followed by nothing for months...) to once a whenever. At least until I get more of a buffer built back up. Anyway, happy listening!
- 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 pop and rock. Much of the music this week has vocals, so with that out of the way, let's get started.
Released.cc - Overture Cello Hardcore (3:16)
Mississippi ( The Phoenix Mix ) (5:46)
Doing Eurodisco (Overboard) (ft. Shannon Hurley) (3:44)
Matter of Time (Mumblemix) (ft. Shannon Hurley) (4:40)
Making Me Nervous (2:31)
That was Released.cc - Overture Cello Hardcore by Released.cc, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was Mississippi ( The Phoenix Mix ) by Loveshadow, Doing Eurodisco (Overboard) (ft. Shannon Hurley) by Ic3m4n, and Matter of Time (Mumblemix) (ft. Shannon Hurley) by Incoherent Mumble Train, all three of which are available from ccMixter and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. Finishing up was Making Me Nervous by Brad Sucks, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.
I'm a big fan of webcomics, and there are a lot of really good ones out nowadays. But some cartoonists are not only awesome enough to put their work up online, but allow you to share it. For example:
- xkcd, a gag-a-day comic covering general geek humor
- Enjuhneer, a story comic about the cartoonist's experiences attending a tech college
- Spiked Math, a gag-a-day comic about math, with a strong emphasis on horrible puns, and
- Skin Horse, a story comic about mad scientists' monsters working in government social work jobs
They make for a very fun read, and the cool thing is they're all open licensed!
Don't tell me (edited) (3:30)
Shaky Bone Disease Epidemic (3:30)
Circus Freak Flattery Drum N Bass Mix (4:19)
Falling More In Love (4:46)
That was a slightly edited version of Don't tell me by MOPI and Shaky Bone Disease Epidemic by shanel.tv, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. Then we had Circus Freak Flattery Drum N Bass Mix by Kamihamiha, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. Finishing up was Falling More In Love by Celestial Grounds, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.
Today's app-of-the-day is Dia, a very nice little diagram drawing and editing program. Basically, you draw in shapes and connect them with lines or arrows. It works great for flowcharts and wiring diagrams. And if you want to change something, you can just drag the shape and the lines connecting it to the other shapes move right along with it. It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. Download it today at http://live.gnome.org/Dia

The Highlights (edited) (3:41)
Che (5:08)
lee-dai jones lord he rides ep (3:39)
That was Drop Down by Mike Falzone and the Peppermint Trick, a slightly edited version of The Highlights by Sunwill (which I have a hard time hearing the lyrics of, so I'm not entirely sure what it's about, but the music's awesome), Che by Thoola, and finishing up was lee-dai jones lord he rides ep by Lee-Dai Jones, all four of which are available from Jamendo and are 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.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Life happened, and it took me a while to catch up. For now, the schedule for this podcast is being changed from once a week (followed by nothing for months...) to once a whenever. At least until I get more of a buffer built back up. Anyway, happy listening!

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 pop and rock. Much of the music this week has vocals, so with that out of the way, let's get started.
Released.cc - Overture Cello Hardcore (3:16)
Mississippi ( The Phoenix Mix ) (5:46)
Doing Eurodisco (Overboard) (ft. Shannon Hurley) (3:44)
Matter of Time (Mumblemix) (ft. Shannon Hurley) (4:40)
Making Me Nervous (2:31)
That was Released.cc - Overture Cello Hardcore by Released.cc, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. After that was Mississippi ( The Phoenix Mix ) by Loveshadow, Doing Eurodisco (Overboard) (ft. Shannon Hurley) by Ic3m4n, and Matter of Time (Mumblemix) (ft. Shannon Hurley) by Incoherent Mumble Train, all three of which are available from ccMixter and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. Finishing up was Making Me Nervous by Brad Sucks, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.
I'm a big fan of webcomics, and there are a lot of really good ones out nowadays. But some cartoonists are not only awesome enough to put their work up online, but allow you to share it. For example:
- xkcd, a gag-a-day comic covering general geek humor
- Enjuhneer, a story comic about the cartoonist's experiences attending a tech college
- Spiked Math, a gag-a-day comic about math, with a strong emphasis on horrible puns, and
- Skin Horse, a story comic about mad scientists' monsters working in government social work jobs
They make for a very fun read, and the cool thing is they're all open licensed!
Don't tell me (edited) (3:30)
Shaky Bone Disease Epidemic (3:30)
Circus Freak Flattery Drum N Bass Mix (4:19)
Falling More In Love (4:46)
That was a slightly edited version of Don't tell me by MOPI and Shaky Bone Disease Epidemic by shanel.tv, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. Then we had Circus Freak Flattery Drum N Bass Mix by Kamihamiha, which is available from ccMixter and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. Finishing up was Falling More In Love by Celestial Grounds, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.
Today's app-of-the-day is Dia, a very nice little diagram drawing and editing program. Basically, you draw in shapes and connect them with lines or arrows. It works great for flowcharts and wiring diagrams. And if you want to change something, you can just drag the shape and the lines connecting it to the other shapes move right along with it. It's available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. Download it today at http://live.gnome.org/Dia

Episode 43: Celtic 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 celtic music, probably about half of which has lyrics, but much of which is very traditional songs. It's also a bit of a mix of old and new and not limited to Irish music. So let's get started!
Whisky in the jar (2:43)
Reels: Tom Ward's Downfall / Sligo Maid / Mountain Road (4:17)
Up Kilkenny (Instrumental Version) (2:52)
Drink It Up (2:07)
Whisky You're the Devil (2:48)
The king of the fairies/the mermaid (2:33)
Achaidh Cheide (2:16)
That was Whisky in the jar by Brigan, which is available from Jamendo. After that was Reels: Tom Ward's Downfall / Sligo Maid / Mountain Road by Lon Dubh, which is available from SoundCloud. You actually see that style of playing celtic music quite frequently - traditional celtic songs tend to be a bit on the short side, so by stringing a mix of them back-to-back, you can put together kind of a nice mix. They end up being a bit like building blocks. All of those songs are considered a type of song called a "reel", so they all match and go together well. Anyway, then we had Up Kilkenny (Instrumental Version) by Josh Woodward (Instrumental Versions), which is available from Jamendo. Next up were Drink It Up and Whisky You're the Devil by 3 Sheets To The Wind, which are both available from SoundCloud. After that was The king of the fairies/the mermaid by Brigan, which is available from Jamendo. Finishing up was Achaidh Cheide by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com. All seven songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution license.
Long Road Ahead (2:29)
Jigger (Traditional goes Rock) (2:09)
Star of the County Down (5:11)
Irish (1:20)
04 Carousel 2 (4:03)
Folk Round (3:06)
That was Long Road Ahead by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. After that was Jigger (Traditional goes Rock) by vvsmusic and Star of the County Down by Marijanh, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. Then we had Irish by Alas Media and 04 Carousel 2 by Neilhammond, which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license. Finishing up was Folk Round by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.
Today's app-of-the-day is Marble, a cross-platform globe viewing program which up until recently I'd never heard of. It's similar to another very popular earth viewing program. It has some nifty features like selectable map graphics for showing satellite vs. road map vs. a map from 1689. It also includes driving directions functionality, though it doesn't seem to be as far along in development. Anyway, it's available for Linux, Maemo, MeeGo, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. Check it out today at marble.kde.org
Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.

Irish Mexicana (2:24)
Whisky in the Jar (2:58)
sous la pluie (3:48)
Skibbereen feat Heydline (4:34)
The Voice of Moss (2:17)
The Pullet and the Cock (2:11)
That was Irish Mexicana by Droxiav, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license. After that was Whisky in the Jar by 3 Sheets To The Wind, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had sous la pluie by Adragante, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution license.

Episode 42: Steampunk
Durango-Silverton RR Dec 01 | 24 bit (1:33)
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 steampunk music. A bunch of the songs this week have vocals, but there are also a bunch of instrumentals, too. So let's get started!
The Watchmaker's Apprentice (5:41)
Fig Leaf Rag - distressed (3:29)
Battle In The Sky - A Steampunk Orchestra (3:01)
Eighteenth Century (1:51)
"Epic" Orchestral Piece (3:00)
The Clockwork City (12/14) (1:55)
Frost Waltz (2:18)
That was a chunk of Durango-Silverton RR Dec 01 | 24 bit by BoilingSand, which is available from FreeSound and is licensed under an Attribution license. If you ever get a chance to ride the Durango and Silverton, it is an excellent ride and well worth it to go see. After that was The Watchmaker's Apprentice by The Clockwork Quartet, which is available from their website at clockworkquartet.com and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license. Then we had Fig Leaf Rag - distressed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. Next up was Battle In The Sky - A Steampunk Orchestra by Walid Feghali and Eighteenth Century by Niklas Stagvall, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. After that was "Epic" Orchestral Piece by Steven O'Brien and The Clockwork City (12/14) by David Cordero Chang, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license. And finishing up was Frost Waltz by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.
Although I'm a big fan of open licensing, I also very much enjoy music from artists who are either independent or are on labels which kind of buck the trend of seemingly the majority of the mainstream music industry and actually like the fact that they have people listening to their music. And with steampunk music, although I can't play it on here, there is a lot of really good stuff either direct published or on small labels. A few songs I can heartily recommend listening to include:
- Airship Pirate by Abney Park
- Steph(v)enson by The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing (who actually released a version of that album on wax cylinder)
- All Hail the Chap by Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer
- I Want Only You by The Cog Is Dead
- Just Glue Some Gears On It (And Call It Steampunk) by Sir Reginald Pikedevant, Esquire
- Roustabout by Beats Antique
- and Lament for a Toy Factory by Dr. Steel
Most of this week's music was chosen more for a mechanical sound than for anachronistic style combinations. Stuff that just sounded to me like it went well with a slow speed reciprocating engine. Not everyone considers the same things "steampunk music", since it's not a particularly well-defined genre, but this kind of thing falls pretty squarely into that category for me.
Steam Train Interior (2:16)
Railroad (1:42)
Atom Hub Toolshed_contextual_demo (0:36)
Tim Reed - Four Miniatures for Violin and Cello Duo (excerpt 1) (1:01)
Clockwork Symphony (2:30)
04 A Garden in Italy - The Archive Box - Stereochemistry (4:10)
That was a chunk of Steam Train Interior by allh, which is available from FreeSound and is licensed under the CC0 license. After that was Railroad by Jake Tickner and Atom Hub Toolshed_contextual_demo by Walid Feghali, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had Tim Reed - Four Miniatures for Violin and Cello Duo (excerpt 1) by Tim Reed, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. Next up was Clockwork Symphony by Psarius and finishing up was 04 A Garden in Italy - The Archive Box - Stereochemistry by stereochemistrymusic, which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.
Today's app-of-the-day is OpenTTD, a transportation network simulator where your job is to build a system of road, rail, air, and ship routes to connect together towns and industries to move people and goods around the map in the most efficient way possible. It's a little like if you took just the transportation components of a city simulator and extended it into its own game. For example, not only do you build train stations and tracks, but the terrain of the tracks will slow down your trains if they hit a hill. You also have to do regular maintenance on your vehicles and even build their routes and schedules. I'll admit I'm pretty terrible at playing it, partially due to my propensity to overuse trains instead of other forms of transportation, but I still have a lot of fun playing it. It's available for Linux, BSD, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, AmigaOS and MorphOS, BeOS and Haiku, OS/2, RISC OS, Android, PalmOS, Symbian, Nintendo DS, Wii, PSP, Apple iOS, Mac OS X, MS-DOS, and Microsoft Windows.

That was Tower Bridge old machine room by The London Sound Survey, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license. After that was CONCERNS by AKAJULES and Monomental by aledjones_musics, which are both available from Jamendo and are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Episode 41: 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.
The Honors March (0:45 @ 0:10)
Habanera (4:07 @ 0:51)
Divertissement - Pizzicato (from the ballet Sylvia) (1:38 @ 5:01)
Hebrides Overture/Fingal's Cave (11:22 @ 6:36)
That was The Honors March by John Phillip Sousa and performed by the US Navy Band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain. After that was Habanera from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had Divertissement - Pizzicato (from the ballet Sylvia) by Léo Delibes and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. Finishing up was The Hebrides overture or Fingal's Cave by Felix Mendelssohn and performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra for the Musopen project, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.
As you've just heard, this week's episode is not all Public Domain like I usually aim for for cartoon music episodes. But it is still Attribution, so there's still plenty you can do with this music.
So with that said, let's get back to music.
Prelude to act 3 and bridal chorus (from Lohengrin) (6:33 @ 18:54)
Home Sweet Home (1:17 @ 25:26)
The Messiah, Hallelujah (3:51 @ 26:43)
La Cumparsita (3:47 @ 30:36)
Canon in D Major (5:55 @ 34:25)
That was Prelude to act 3 and bridal chorus from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner and performed by the United States Marine band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain. After that was Home Sweet Home by Sir Henry Bishop and performed by Lucas Gonze, which is available from soupgreens.com and is licensed under an Attribution license. That recording could probably be considered a form of historical preservation - he used not only sheet music but instruments from 1900 and earlier to play it and has the sheet music available on his website if you want to try playing it yourself. Then we had The Messiah, Hallelujah by George Frideric Handel and performed by Orchestra Gli Armonici, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain. Next up was La cumparsita by Gerardo Matos Rodríguez, which is available from Wikipedia and is licensed as Public Domain. Finishing up was Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel and performed by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.
Today's app-of-the-day is DOSBox, an x86 emulator specifically intended for running old games. For those of you unfamiliar with emulators, when you run DOSBox, it basically boots up a simulation of an old computer inside of your new one, allowing you to run old programs that no longer run properly on modern computers. DOSBox runs pretty much everywhere - there's even a port of it for my cell phone. It's available for Linux, BSD, OS/2, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, BeOS and Haiku, Kolibrios, RISC OS, XBox, PSP, Wii, Palm OS, webOS, Symbian, Maemo, BlackBerry Tablet OS, Android, Apple iOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and probably many more. Check it out today at dosbox.com
Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors followed by more music.

Pop Goes The Weasel Music Box (0:16 @ 50:46)

After that was Rock-A-Bye Baby by an unknown composer and performed by Nexus 6, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license. Then we had Pop Goes The Weasel Music Box, again originally by an unknown composer, performed by cgrote, which is available from FreeSound and is licensed under an Attribution license.

Finishing up was Manhattan Beach by John Phillip Sousa and performed by the United States Marine Band, which is available from Musopen and is licensed as Public Domain.
