State Shirt: Remix Him So He Can Remix You

Creative Commons and State Shirt have got a proposal for you: Download the a cappellas and stems from State Shirt’s new album “This is Old” and go crazy remixing it. Then post your remix and your stems here to ccMixter and he will use your samples in his next album of original music.

“Creative Commons is the perfect antidote for a collapsing landscape still clinging to traditional copyright. I hope more artists discover that freedom, flexibility, collaboration and community are now an option.”

We think so too.
