I put together a special one-off version of my now retired Cool Music show to help celebrate ccmixter’s 6th anniversary. For this special show, I selected one remix from each month from the past 12 months. Some great music, highlighting not only some fine remix producers, but some fine vocalists as well.

You can also download the show in it’s entirely as a podcast here. (62:42 – 71MB mp3 file)

Hey, check out the 5th edition of “Nur Ein“, Song Fight’s annual survivor-like showdown. I actually judged the very first one back oh, 5 years ago!

If memory serves me correctly, Glenn Case won!

They are only in the second round in this year’s battle. Check out some terrific music for free!

Check out this fine new net release by some of my friends from ccmixter. Happy belated Earth Day.

Billy Corgan has announced his plans for the release of Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, the new Smashing Pumpkins album. The record will include 44 songs and in a posting on the Smashing Pumpkins website, Corgan explains how the songs will be made available:

“My desire is to release a song at a time beginning around Halloween of this year, with each new release coming shortly after until all 44 are out. Each song will be made available absolutely for free, to anyone anywhere. There will be no strings attached. Free will mean free, which means you won’t have to sign up for anything, give an email address, or jump through a hoop. You will be able to go and take the song or songs as you wish, as many times as you wish.”

Brad, I think you started a trend.
