What famous musicians, artists and bands have music under Creative Commons?

2 That makes sense. I make music so I'm aware of the politics. When Radiohead offered that 'pay what you want' model and I thought that was innovative, but that was just a payment model, not licensing.

Similarly, Prince gave away a bunch of his album. I think it was called EARTH. But, NIN did the whole remix-friendly thing which is even more unique.

P Hop is very remix friendly but it's one of those "unofficially official" things. The labels let it slide because DJ's are the backbone of the genre, but once in awhile they still get uptight. They never really give anyone the legal right, they just overlook it.In NIN case, they actually gave the right to remix (share, etc. )........so, focusing my feedback; I go online looking for any other cases of this idea but don't find any other major brands trying what NIN is (yet) Most are still experimenting with the "free" idea that they haven't tried the "royalty free" idea yet.

But I'm wondering if I'm just not looking in the right places. Search engines aren't always very cooperative in research matters.

I also find it uninteresting to come from a band which is already famous. Fiddling with the payment model is easy when people are already willing to pay.

Getting people to pay in the first place has proven to be the hard part. > They never really give anyone the legal right, they just overlook it. And when it comes to the labels, you just know they're waiting for their opportunity.

Slitting their own throats has never seemed to be a problem for them. The labels are fighting a losing battle. I don't think most major bands are likely to do Creative Commons before the whole notion of "major band" comes to an end, to be replaced by a huge mass of unknowns.

Which potentially makes DJs influential again...

I read that NIN has some of their music listed under a Creative Commons License (not sure which though). Have you heard of any other famous musicians, artists and bands that have music under Creative Commons? If so, whom?

1 Its hard for famous bands to give music away, because they're generally signed to labels who spent a bunch of money on marketing and want to make it back. Occasionally, a band gets SO big that they can go it on their own, without the label's marketing machine. Nine Inch Nails is just such a band; REM has done similar things.

Anybody you've heard of but is smaller than that is still signed to a contract and won't be releasing their music under anything except copyright any time soon. There are plenty of bands you've never heard of who make great music and would practically pay you to listen. They give it away on Myspace and YouTube all the time.

But since they don't have a massive marketing machine behind them you've never heard of them and probably never will, because most people get their music preferences handed to them by Clear Channel.

Looking for a music CD compilation with pop/dance by various artists to work out to.

He was part of the wave of German-based easy listening artists who were popular in the 1960s and 1970s, along with Bert Kaempfert and James Last. Born in Zeitz, Saxony, he showed musical proficiency at an early age. He played in his grandfather’s band in a restaurant when he was six, and by his teens he was accomplished at playing piano, accordion, xylophone and marimba.

He studied music at the Leipzig Conservatory. He served in the German army during World War 2, but was captured by the British. During his captivity in a Danish POW camp, he met a guitarist named Ladi Geisler, with whom he soon formed a small combo.

After the war, he led various combos (which usually included Geisler)in The Salambo Night Club from René Durand & The Tarantella Night Club near the famous Reeperbahn. Horst also played with British Service musicians and Big Bands like Edmundo Ros. Settling in Hamburg, he became part of the burgeoning music scene in the port city.

Signed to the Polydor label in the 1950s, he made accordion and dance band music under his own name. He also began to make Latin music recordings under the pseudonym of Roberto Delgado & Mister Pepper. The Delgado albums became popular in Europe, and then found an audience in the UK and North America as Polydor opened up several international subsidiaries.

Polydor already had two top pop orchestra stars in Bert Kaempfert and James Last, and many of their fans began to buy Delgado records as well. It’s interesting to note that Wende recorded his albums using the same group of studio musicians who recorded for Kaempfert and Last; in fact, guitarist Ladi Geisler also provided the distinct bass guitar backbone to the Kaempfert sound. The Delgado recordings were initially Latin-oriented, but they eventually covered a number of different musical genres including African, Italian, Russian, Greek and Jamaican music as well as Broadway musicals and current pop hits.

It could be argued that Wende/Delgado helped to pioneer world music. He managed to break into the German singles market with his version of “Mexico” in 1962. He also arranged music for other German artists such as German folk/pop singer Knut Kiesewetter.

Like most of his pop orchestral contemporaries, Wende’s popularity had faded by the 1980s, and he gradually retired from playing music professionally. In recent years, his music has become popular again, and some of his recordings have been reissued on CD.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
