Open Music Required
At LugRadio Live in the UK, we traditionally play a lot of rock music in-between talks – it keeps the atmosphere loose and fun. With LugRadio Live USA 2008 on the horizon, and well aware of the dictatorship that is the RIAA, I am keen to find a collection of good rock and metal that is suitable for legal public performance at LugRadio Live USA 2008. As such, musicians, I am looking for your help here – please add a comment on this blog entry pointing to bands and music that produce music licensed that will allow us to publicly play it at the event.
The kind of music we are looking for is good-time party rock and roll, like AC/DC, Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine etc, but also heavier music and metal is very welcome too. Get those suggestions in – this is an excellent way to get your music played at one of the premier Open Source events in the USA. 
Oh, and don’t forget registration for LugRadio Live USA 2008 is open!

http://www.myspace.com/sirweeze He has a backcatalogue that’s a mixture of the comedic things up there (check out Internet Superhero, BTW) and more serious rock stuff. The Self Parody album was successful enough (artistically) for him to spin it off, demoed at http://www.myspace.com/selfp Music videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/sirweeze
Phsychedelia/insanity under a CC License: http://www.myspace.com/wakingupcorky There should be an Internet Archives link, his library grows there and in general constantly.
Utter stupidity under a CC License(we’ve not decided which, most likely Attribution Share-Alike, unsure of Non-Commercial…) here: http://www.myspace.com/satanistsinlove Huge back catalogue, all stupid, often awesome, all safe to play/replay. I can mail you a few DVDs with most of this. I’d link you to the discography, of our “label”(artist collective) but it’s outdated and apparently still hosted on Angelfire(???) so… nah. if you’re interested, GZeus[notspace]mants[OBVIOUS SYMBOL]gmail[OBVIOUS]

Another vote for Machinae Supremacy. Those guys seriously rock and are quite geeky too, they use SidStation synth for C64-like sound

Machinae Supremacy are good. I’m sure resiak will let you use the ‘Who is Elmo Blatch’ album (http://www.wieb.com). Jamendo does have some good stuff if you’re willing to search a bit.
Why not ask the Magnatune guy to donate some?

Why should your sucky musical taste dictate what gets heard at the LUG radio event?
Metal.
Give me classical, folk, rock and roll, grunge.
Metal, grow out of the 80s dude.

For some good instrumental music, you might consider asking the Minibosses if they’d allow use of some of their music.

Nine Inch Nails’ new album is CC licenced (!): http://ghosts.nin.com/main/home
Not sure about the Non-Commercial requirement if we’re playing it at LRL. We’re not getting money for the music at all, but it’s being played at a commercial event. If we want this music, I’l work out the legal ramifications; let me know if you think it’s right.
