Remix the Ladies tracks
The Barenaked Ladies might not be at the top of the indy rock heap, but I am continually impressed by this bunch of talented and articulate (and Canadian) musicians. In addition to Steven Page’s vocal and insightful stance on copyright in Canada, the Ladies are releasing bonus material for their new album online, and also giving fans a chance to remix tracks. Not the first time this has ever been done, but none the less, it shows commitment to ideals.
From the BNL blog:
“Do as you will with them - remix them, use them as the background for your home movies, blare them out of your car stereo (just don’t sell them). Send your remixes back to us (and feel free to share them, too), and we’ll choose our 5 favourites, which we’ll release on a charity-benefit download.”
Pretty cool…
