Radio WFMU

I’d like to recommend WFMU-FM. I stumbled across them after 3Voor12 was down again and I was looking for some online music. Well, if you like your music to be anything but mainstream then you may enjoy WFMU-FM as well.

This Leo Sunrise

The americana/country/folk heroes This Leo Sunrise out of Utrecht, The Netherlands in crappy YouTube galore. Go check out there new EP ‘Koewacht‘ (CC-licensed, off course) which I highly recommend.

One of my favorite bands Nine Inch Nails has released a 36 tracks / 4-cd album ‘Ghost 1-IV ‘ under a CC BY-NC-SA license (see the FAQ). It has been released in four different packages :

1) $5 digital download: All 36 tracks in a variety of digital formats including a 40 page PDF

2) $10 2xCD set
Ghosts I-IV on two audio CDs in a six panel digipak package with a 16 page booklet.

3) $75 Deluxe Edition
Ghosts I-IV in a hardcover fabric slipcase containing: 2 audio CDs, 1 data DVD with all 36 tracks in multi-track format, and a Blu-ray disc with Ghosts I-IV in high-definition 96/24 stereo and accompanying slideshow

4) $300 Ultra Deluxe
Includes everything in the Deluxe Edition Package, along with an exclusive four-LP 180 gram vinyl set in a fabric slipcase, and two exclusive limited edition Giclee prints in a luxurious package. Limited to 2500 pieces, numbered and signed by Trent Reznor.

Besides these packages you can download Ghost-I for free:

“The first 9 tracks from the Ghosts I-IV collection available as high-quality, DRM-free MP3s, including the complete PDF.”

Listen to some (excerpts?) of the music using the player below:

I’m very curious about Trent Reznor ‘s experiences with going back from the default cut-throat music industry deals to DIY and in this process using CC licenses and different sales models. Somebody should do an in-depth interview with him about this. So lazy web spread the message and get us all an interview with Trent Reznor’s thoughts about this..

ps: Thanks Marco for mentioning this !
