I just heard!!!
If you dig the 1981 David Byrne - Brian Eno release "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" (and if you don't dig it, probably some of your favorite artists do), then you'll be as erect as an exclamation mark to hear that the Byrne - Eno team have re-released the album with 7 new tracks, AND AND AND AND AND (!!!!!) two of those tracks, "A Secret Life" and "Help Me Somebody," have been offered-up online under a Creative Commons license!
AND, for those who haven't heard, it gets betta, kids. The two tracks have been made available in their ORIGINAL 24-TRACK FORM. Byrne and Eno have set up the site bush-of-ghosts.com to allow common peasants such as we to download the original pre-mixed album tracks, mutilate and/or remix them to our heart's content, then UPLOAD the remixes back onto the site where they will be available for the public to vote on, share, laugh at, etc.
That's right. And, we're not JUST talking remixes either, as you are also free to use samplings of the two songs in your own original compositions. Pretty sweet, especially when you consider that the terms of the CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 license dictate that all derivative works must also be "share-alike".
This much exstacy may require a mea culpa or two……….
