Received a heartwarming email this week from someone who found my old #band’s song “You’re On Fire” on the @creativecommons compilation “Copy Me Remix Me”.

He loved the song then, but could never find out anything else about us as The Phoenix Trap disbanded in 2004. But he recently came across #music suggestions via Spotify, YouTube, and SoundClick and now is a fan of the entire album we put out back in 2002.

All this is to show that releasing #art and other “content” via #CreativeCommons can touch people’s lives in extraordinary and unexpected ways.

“#Keating was still the prime minister, #Kennett was premier of #Victoria. The highest selling song of the year in this country was Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio. Blood Sugar Sex Magik by the Red Hot Chili Peppers had been out for four years but still held sway over the entire universe.

There was a band in #Sydney called Def FX who were winning awards and telling us in song titles and lyrics – with a metal/hiphop backbeat – about "ritual", "magik" and "psychoactives".

This was what was in the wind. It was commercial music, the #TripleJ staple of the day, and #Cranky came and went so very quickly within all of this with 2 Bugs and a song called Australia Don't Become America, otherwise known as "Straya Don Come Merica". It was influenced by the above – the sound and the fury – and in particular by Rage Against The Machine, Disposible Heroes of Hiphroprisy, Public Enemy, Pop Will Eat Itself and EMF”
