Open Licensed Music Podcast Ralph Wacksworth

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, some of which has lyrics.

(1:08) That was (They Don't Make) Airships (Like They Used To Anymore) by Confabulation of Gentry featuring Capt. John Sprocket from The Cog Is Dead, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Pat McGroin and the Teleporting Sheep by mrgeeza, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Alchemists Tower by Kevin MacLeod, which is available from incompetech.com and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Next up was Graveyard Shenanigans by Steampianist, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was the beginning by IstaMusic, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had The legend of terror by Aledjones_music, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Next up was High Noon Soundtrack by Gemma Horbury and finishing up was Rush to the End! (Music by: Steven O'Brien), which are both available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license. Mechanical Hearts (2:52) The Woven Dream - Epic Orchestral (1:26) Zadok the Priest (1:46) Smile - Sung by Chad Doeden (0:20) The Laboratory (3:15) That was Mechanical Hearts by Aldaron Del'Aenrysch, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  After that was The Woven Dream - Epic Orchestral by Walid Feghali, which is available from SoundCloud and was licensed under an Attribution license as of February 24, 2013.  Then we had Zadok the Priest by Blindingham, Smile - Sung by Chad Doeden by Aaron's Records(Aaron A.), and finishing up was The Laboratory by Steampianist, all three of which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license. 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. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes Ethereal(nop mix) (3:44) Ludus Mobilis V: Toccata & Fugue (10:38) CsO237(taeb) - music058 (1:45) Time for Hope (ft.

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 wer

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. Buckarooster (2:58) A la Roberto, tema II (Quien fuera) (1:27) Lessons Instrumental (2:41) Joe's Acoustic (3:31) Thursday (2:28) 5:4 (1:15) 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.  After that was Lessons Instrumental by Mission8, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Joe's Acoustic, which was available from SoundCloud but has since been removed, and was licensed under an Attribution license as of November 25, 2012.  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. I40 - INTERSTATE (4:52) Learn to Fly (Instrumental Version) (3:24) East Side Bar (Instrumental) (3:15) Five Seconds (instrumental) (2:39) Spanish-ish (3:01) Major12 (2:45) Not A Thing To Be Grasped (1:17) 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. Around the World in 80 Days Sereno(Acústico) (3:24) Death On The Wind (4:17) 4am (3:24) Serenite (5:10) To gather around (3:19) Let Me Be Your Cure (3:49) That was Sereno(Acústico) by clbustos, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial license.  After that was Death On The Wind by Pattanga, and 4am by Bowl Of Ice Cream, which are available from SoundCloud and are licensed under an Attribution license.  Then we had Serenite by Oursvince, which is available from Jamendo and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Next up was To gather around by michele cigna, and finishing up was Let Me By Your Cure by Pattanga, which are both available from SoundCloud 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.

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. Darker Waves (1:55) Deathmatch Psycho (2:37) Usual Day (3:01) JRPG_fields_loop (2:01) Some Dealings With The Office Of Magic (3:24) Pure NES (1:03) Strawberry Tea (1:45) Yerzmyey - Ai (4:21) Vectorverse Tier 2 (4:14) Blow into the cartridge! (0:20) That was Darker Waves by Zander Noriega, which is available from OpenGameArt.  After that was Deathmatch Psycho by Andrey Avkhimovich, which is available from Jamendo.  Then we had Usual Day [NSF (Classical)][FCM10] by ipidev, which is available from SoundCloud.  Next up was JRPG_fields_loop from the JRPG Collection by Yubatake, which is available from OpenGameArt.  After that was Some Dealings With The Office Of Magic by elmusho, Pure NES by Sam Shideler, Strawberry Tea by Tenlki, Yerzmyey - Ai by YERZMYEY, Vectorverse Tier 2 by Nicholas Shooter, and finishing up was Blow into the cartridge! by Nicholas Shooter, all six of which are available from SoundCloud.  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

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) Tha

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: ccMixter FreeMusicArchive FreeSound Incompetech Jamendo OpenGameArt SoundCloud The Funny Music Project Zero-Project You can also find this information in the sidebar of the website. - 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
