lots of high quality MP3 protest songs that load fast and great art. you can put YOUR songs there too:
The Peace Jukebox plays hours of anti-war music for free. Songs written during the Bush Presidency can be heard as high-quality MP3s, with lyrics, on this ad-free independent website. The Peace Jukebox features anti-war songs by Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5, Public Enemy, Jane's Addiction, The Cure, Ani DiFranco, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Faithless, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Lenny Kravitz, Paris, System of a Down, Propagandhi, Banco de Gaia, Zach de la Rocha, Noam Chomsky... hiphop, rock, punk, acoustic, classical and spoken word.
This is the most prolific period of protest song-writing in history, and home-studio technology makes it possible for the world to hear these radical songs. The Peace Not War Music Project has received over 500 anti-war songs from different kinds of musicians, and they will all be going online. Big apologies for all those musicians who have been waiting a long time for their song to get uploaded. We have only now managed to sort out the technical and funding problems, and put the Jukebox online, and there is only a small collective of volunteers running this project. Everyone's CDs and MP3s are safe, and will be uploaded as soon as possible.
Musicians are invited to submit their songs as MP3s (192kbps, best quality), with full lyrics and credit information included, by email to
[email protected]. A translation facility is being developed for non-English speakers to read the lyrics in multiple languages (email us if you can help). We prefer that you also post your songs on a CD, with printed lyrics and credit information, to Peace Not War, Synergy Centre, 220 Farmers Rd, Camberwell, London SE5 0TW, UK. If you post your song, it will be included in the official library archive of anti-war songs, and it will be considered for inclusion in another CD (if we do another). Other content also needed: speeches (MP3), visual art (JPG), movies (MOV), contact information for peace groups.
