Redd Blood Cells

In 2002, Steven McDonald laid down bass music to the White Stripes' "White Blood Cells" album, called it "Redd Blood Cells", and released it for free download. Steven is a founding member of the group Redd Kross, which explains the CD name and why he released it through their website (here is the myspace for the group). You can still download "Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground" from there but, unfortunately, the archived mp3's are no longer available on the site so you have to get it through file sharing (or from me when I get it). Of course there were copyright issues but it so happened that Steven ran into Jack White, asked him for permission and got the go ahead to keep it up. So there ya go. I learned this in a presentation about copyright laws yesterday. Fun times, we also saw this video, which explained the Redd Blood Cells project and "Creative Commons" licensing. I also learned this about GoogleEarth which is good because I have some images from it in my thesis.
p.s. You may remember the White Stripes from previous concert posts or from Updog&Indy.
p.p.s. Let's all learn about red blood cells from the neat website HowStuffWorks...learning is fun!
