#10 - Creative Commons Sampler Part 2

#10?? Really? That's really good! Well, this is the promised Part 2 of the Creative Commons Sampler.

I finally got to do the podcast this weekend! Life has been very busy: sudden funeral 8 hours away, a softball tourney this afternoon (B Pool Champs!!), hockey tonight...well there was a lot.

I stumbled in a couple of places but I felt the podcast fit together well, and there was some very cool music played. Speaking of which, here's the playlist with artist info The Dead Rocks - One Million Dollar Theme Brad...

#6 - Not South American Banjo Ska

Here it is, episode #6! Unfortunately, it is not the "South American Banjo Ska" genre my brother wanted, but instead is Celtic Hip Hop - coming from Oakland, California, no less!

Wikipedia movie summaries really are awesome; check out the one for Twister Today's feature a...
