The Senate-bound iPods project launched this month, and they are using quite a bit of Magnatune music!
The goal of this project is to show US Senators some examples of open content, along with an iPod, in an effort to educate them, that there is life outside of DRM-protected major-label-land.
Ren Bucholz from IPac, who is running the project, approached us back in February for our support, and we've been working closely with them on this. It's a great idea!
They gave iPods to Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, and Trent Lott (the singing Senator) among others.

The list of content includes things from the Prelinger Archive, CC Mixter, Magnatune and Fading Ways Music:

Wow. On second thought, it's pretty amazing I haven't seen more spamcomments on this blog. Just realized there's no verification or anything. Hmmmm.

I get one every week or two, typepad seems to block most of them automatically, and I delete the ones that get through.
