I just picked up the November issue of Wired Magazine. The one with the “Sample the Future” cover story and the Beastie Boys, “The Remix Masters” feature.

This issue also includes a copy of The Wired CD, “a collection of 16 songs produced under the Creative Commons License.”

The musicians on this CD are saying that true creativity needs to be open, fluid, and alive, and they are encouraging you to, “Rip, mix, burn. Swap till you drop. The music cops can’t do a thing – it’s 100 percent legal, licensed by the bands.”

So, with the “swap till you drop” part in mind, “here are 16 songs that encourage people to play with their tunes, not just play them.”

:01 Beastie Boys/ Now Get Busy

:02 David Byrne/ My Fair Lady

:03 Zap Mama/ Wadidyusay?

:04 My Morning Jacket/ One Big Holiday

:05 Spoon/ Revenge!

:06 Gilberto Gil/ Oslodum

:07 Dan the Automator/ Relaxation Spa Treatment

:08 Thievery Corporation/ DC 3000

:09 Le Tigre/ Fake French

:10 Paul Westerberg/ Looking Up in Heaven

:11 Chuck D with Fine Arts Militia/ No Meaning No

:12 The Rapture/ Sister Saviour (Blackstrobe Remix)

:13 Cornelius/ Wataridori 2

:14 Danger Mouse & Jemini/ What U Sittin’ On? (starring Cee Lo and Tha Alkaholiks)

:15 DJ Dolores/ Oslodum 2004

:16 Matmos/ Action at a Distance
