Tunes: Wired/Creative Commons have released 16 mp3s from artists like David Byrne, Danger Mouse and Gilberto Gil... with no strings attached, do what thou wilt. Caveat: server is a bit slow going. "These musicians are saying that true creativity needs to be open, fluid, and alive. When it comes to copyright, they are pro-choice. Here are 16 songs that encourage people to play with their tunes, not just play them."

  • I credit this disc with introducing me to My Morning Jacket, which I quite enjoy.
  • This is really cool. There are some excellent artists here too; my favourites being Cornelius and MMJ...
  • Yay. I really like a lot of these tunes. Thanks!
  • Dan the Automator is the shit. I really like the album he produced for Del the Funky Homosapien: Deltron 3000 which featured human musicians, some actual evolution to the songs, and a refreshing lack of loops...
  • It's also available as a torrent.
