“Music has always been a craft of borrowing. In traditional, or folk, music, melodies and lyrics were handed down from generation to generation. At every stage, musicians would change the tune or substitute words at will, adapting songs to their own situations.” (From the liner notes of the Illegal Art Project) Illegal Art is sponsored by Brooklyn-based Stay Free! magazine, with support from the Online Policy Group, a nonprofit ISP devoted to free speech, and Prelinger Archives. Found Illegal Art from a link on the Banned Music site. You might remember these guys as the ones responsible for Grey Tuesday last year. So I am going down that road this week. Should be fun. Tune in: KBGA Hope to write at some point today. Right now it’s almost 2AM. Headed to bed.

I heard your show all the way from Texas (via the internet, of course). I loved it. Some of it was kinda strange music, but it is thouroughly fascinating listening to music that is “illegal” and exploring the reasons for its “illegality”. Keep rocking man! And thanks for the shout-out! -Martin

Appreciate you listening. Glad you liked at least some of it. Point of the show was that we need to re-think the way the Industry operates, and the whole idea of “copyright”. Post a comment
