In honor of Creative Common's 10th anniversary a few years ago the netlabel Bad Panda put together a playlist that we discovered on CC-Europe's Soundcloud page.

We've been looking back at playlists of old to check in with some artists we followed back in 2005 and 2006. Many are nowhere to be found, remembered only by the tracks they left on archive.org or on netlabels that have gone extinct. But many are still active, or somewhere in between. Lonah, from Paris France, looks to be somewhere in between. Toda…

Bump Foot has always been an interesting place to dig, quite a number of picks from past posts and shows have been from either the Bump or the Foot side of this Japanese net label formed as far as I can tell, in 2005. Bump focuses on techno and house while foot does everything else. Collectively, this netlabel boasts a 441 releases to date! This pi…

Sometimes it pays to look back through our Black Sweater White Cat playlists, when we hosted a two or three hour Creative Commons only show on WBCR-LP in Great Barrington Massachusetts. One of these look-backs brought me to Beth Quist, who is credited as the reason that Magnatune was started. "It was Beth Quist who inspired me to create Magnatune..…

It turns out that a hobo with a heart of gold and his best friend from the Far Rock are just the kind of people that would defend Sesame Street to the death. While Klaus and Mouth agree that Obama could use a quick whiff of the hoof, they can’t agree whether Willard ‘Mittens’ Romney is Satan or an illegal alien. Linda Hogan decides to join the D-Li…

Two things were learned on Rated R Radio this week. You shouldn’t post evidence of criminal actions on Facebook. Hell hath no fury like Klaus’ scorn for cats. Hope remains high for Klaus staying out of jail as long as criminals keep forgetting how to properly commit crimes. Meanwhile, battle-rap star Calicoe is metaphorically in hot festering piss,…
