Protest Records
Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth has started a new "record label" devoted to songs protesting this week’s war. They’re not releasing actual records, but they are providing MP3s, freely downloadable and sharable. Names I’ve heard of who have songs available right now include Eugene Chadbourne, the Beastie Boys, and Cat Power. The New York Times reports that a bunch of other bands plan to release songs through Protest, including R.E.M., The Fugs, and Ian Mackaye.
